![]() ![]() The sympathetic Alicent even offered the King a gift of a repaired dragon statue that was broken during a prior rendezvous. The second conversation was between Viserys and Alicent Hightower who continued to spend private time with the King at her father’s urging. Rhaenyra’s disdain is reinforced when Rhaenys told her niece that men would never truly accept a woman on the Iron Throne. The King had earlier dismissed her suggestion during the Small Council meeting and sent her instead to name a new Lord Commander of the Kingsguard, for whom she selects Ser Criston Cole (Fabien Frankel). One, with Rhaenrya, continues to dismiss her desire to become more involved with royal affairs. While Viserys questions getting remarried, he has two significant conversations. ![]() The Velaryon clan are closely matched to the Targaryen line but Viserys is troubled by Laena’s age (she is twelve years old). While the King is treated for a gangrenous finger that was cut on the Iron Throne, Ser Otto suggests the King consider marriage. Viserys takes the proposal to Otto Hightower ( Rhys Ifans). Corlys and Rhaenys instead propose that the King remarry to try and have a male heir and they suggest their eldest daughter, Laena Velaryon. Viserys remains ambivalent about provoking war. When a band of warriors from the city of Myr begin a blockade of shipping lanes overseen by Lord Corlys’ navy, he and his wife, Lady Rhaenys (Eve Best), beseech the King to take action. ![]() In the wake of the deaths of Queen Aemma and Viserys’ male heir, Baelon, the King now must contend with facing the calls for him to solidify his reign in the absence of a male successor to the Iron Throne.įrom the very start, “The Rogue Prince” outlines the rift between Viserys and Lord Corlys Velaryon (Steve Toussaint). Knowing that there will be a significant time jump at some point this season in which Emma D’Arcy and Olivia Cooke will take over the roles of Rhaenyra Targaryen and Alicent Hightower, I was not expecting “The Rogue Prince” to jump six months from where the previous episode left off. Review (SPOILERS): After last week’s series premiere, the second episode of HBO‘s House of the Dragon takes something of a step back in pacing. Rhaenrya confronts Daemon when he steals a dragon’s egg. Rodan's emergence from a volcano in King of the Monsters is a callback to the character's appearance in the 1964 film.Plot: King Viserys weighs options to solidify his lineage while trying to prevent war with the Free Cities. Rodan made recurring appearances in the Toho franchise, usually as an ally to Godzilla. The creature returned in 1964's Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster, initially as a rival to Godzilla but then as an ally against King Ghidorah. One of the earliest kaiju, Rodan was introduced in 1956 in his own eponymous film. RELATED: King Ghidorah: What You Need to Know About Godzilla's Archenemy In the film's finale, Rodan is gravely wounded in a battle with Mothra before ultimately acknowledging Godzilla as the new king of the monsters in the wake of Ghidorah's annihilation. Rodan subsequently recognizes him as its alpha. Erupting from a volcano overlooking a town in Mexico, the fiery, winged beast takes to the skies before being defeated by King Ghidorah. The first wave of Titans was awakened by a sonic device known as the Orca, and that increase in kaiju activity triggers the reemergence of Rodan.
