Our Favorite 'House of the Dragon' Fan Theories

Everyone and their dog watched the premiere episode of House of the Dragon, HBO's Game of Thrones prequel. But did you (or your dog!) catch the not-so-subtle references to the original series? Focusing on the "Age of Dragons," a period of time in Westeros when the Targaryen family reigned, House of the Dragon occurs roughly 200 years before Game of Thrones begins. The series makes note of the chronology in the opening, stating that our story begins "before the death of the mad king, Aerys, and the birth of his daughter, Princess Daenerys Targaryen." However, some fans believe that the nod wasn't meant to connect the new series to Game of Thrones, but to George R.R. Martin's original novels, A Song of Ice and Fire.
