Rhaenyra narrating: "The only thing that could tear down the House of the Dragon... was itself." Goosebumps!!! That line alone got me hooked.

[Ιάκωβος-ηχ]

Greatest opening scene ever. Especially for book readers, seeing The Old King in person was amazing.

[ZhenZhu]

This scene alone gives me goosebumps, the opening was great and I love the music

[dakgul]

The callback to King's arrival is just beautiful, I love this show so much already

[alexanderb]

To imagine that this is the closest we've ever come on screen to Aegon the Conqueror himself, his grandson. And one of the most legendary dragon kings himself, Jaehaerys the Wise, the Concilator and the Old King, which people hitherto only have read about for decades. It's pretty amazing how far the legendarium has come.

Great to see Ramin Djawadi back. No matter how good or bad the story or the visual unfold, I know this show will be a success to my ears.

1:33 - So glad they kept the kings theme!

[lazarusboi]

The Targaryen and Royal Themes combined... a match made in heaven!

[cazyjohn]

The song is melancholic, hopeful and longing for something that was lost and never can be find out again.

The actor who plays Jaeherys managed to perfectly capture how sad and tired he was. He knew he didn't have long left to live when he called the Great Council. His second son, Baelon (father of Viserys and Daemon) had just died that very same year. His queen Alyssane the year prior. His heir Aemon (father of Rhaenys) nine years ago.

As the first century of the Targaryen dynasty came to a close, the health of the Old King, Jaehaerys, was failing. In those days, House Targaryen stood at the height of its strength with 10 adult dragons under its yoke. No power in the world could stand against it. King Jaehaerys reigned over nearly 60 years of peace and prosperity. But tragedy had claimed both his sons, leaving his succession in doubt. So, in the year 101, the Old King called a Great Council to choose an heir. Over a thousand lords made the journey to Harrenhal. Fourteen succession claims were heard but only two were truly considered: Princess Rhaenys Targaryen, the King’s eldest descendant, and her younger cousin, Prince Viserys Targaryen, the King’s eldest male descendant. 

Jaehaerys Targaryen: "It is declared by all lords paramount and lords vassal of the Seven Kingdoms…that Prince Viserys Targaryen be made Prince of Dragons tone." 

Rhaenys, a woman, would not inherit the Iron Throne. The lords instead chose Viserys… my father. Jaehaerys called the Great Council to prevent a war being fought over his succession. For he knew the cold truth. The only thing that could tear down the House of the Dragon… was itself.

...173 years before Daenerys Targaryen 🐉👑🔥🩸

0:15 that sound sends shivers down my spine

[pommedeterre]

The first and the last scene are incredible 🔥 GREATNESS

[zico]

I never thought I’d see the Great Council on screen. They did an amazing job with it.

[blahblah]

I loved the Daenerys soundtrack from GOT and I love how house of the D has snippets of Daenerys earlier soundtrack.

[OfficialTBhoops]

I love the King’s Arrival theme and its many renditions, especially this one.

[AlphaBeastHD]

I love the mix between the Targaryen theme, the royal houses/King’s theme, and the original Game of Thrones theme midway & at the end.

[kingrobert]

It’s the sound at 0:14 that made me realise ‘Holy shit, this is it’

[fakhrimetmem]

"A GREAT WAR IS COMING" this is what this score is about. We can feel how the targaryen's theme here with got's theme could be smooth and it could be also dark and dramatic. Best cinematic music ever thank you ramain. (Thanks for sharing this masterpiece!)

[jaehaerys]

The appearance of Jaehaerys alone is exciting enough (obviously as you can tell from my name)
