The first episode of Season 2’s House of the Dragon contained a few little details that viewers may have missed.
Season 2 of House of the Dragon is finally here and the opening episode carries on where the previous season left off, both in terms of story and quality. From the top of the icy cold Wall to the fiery depths of Dragonstone, fans get a sweeping view of a realm reacting to Prince Lucerys‘ death, as war looms ever closer.
While there were many heartfelt and shocking moments, there were also plenty of small easter eggs in S1 E2 of House of the Dragon. Some of the best details that fans may have missed are extremely subtle and only make sense at the end of the episode or even upon a second watch. 1 Ice
Time: 3:40
One easter egg that some fans may have missed during the gripping words exchanged between Cregan Stark and Jacaerys, is the sword that Cregan wears on his back. This Valyrian steel sword is Ice, the ancestral sword of House Stark and the very one that Ned wielded until he was eventually slain with it.
This entire opening scene felt highly nostalgic and fans might have also noticed the Stark theme, Cregan Stark’s strong Yorkshire accent reminiscent of Sean Bean, and even a similarity in the appearance of Jacaerys and Jon Snow on the wall. 2 A Statue Of Viserys Is Seen Before The Final Scene
Time: 47:46
As it was only seen for a brief moment, fans may have failed to notice the statue of Viserys Targaryen. This statue can be seen in the throneroom as the rat-catcher and gold cloak pass by. As Viserys was worried about his lackluster legacy, it would perhaps be of some comfort to see that despite the encroachment of an unavoidable war, the time and money have still been taken to remember him.
