5 great moments we're looking forward to in House of the Dragon season 2

A really awkward conversation between Aemond and his family

 Ok, this may seem like the least consequential of any of these, but it's actually something that everyone should really be looking forward to. In the finale of season 1, Aemond’s dragon Vhagar killed his nephew Lucerys Velaryon and his dragon Arrax, supposedly against Aemond's orders. Although you can argue whether that really Aemond, since he did chase Lucerys into a storm with vengeance on his mind.

Watching Aemond explain to his mother and siblings why Vhagar just ate little nephew Luke is going to be fantastic. There are many ways that the show could go about it, portraying the discussion as a shocking argument, a tale of mounting dread, or even go for comical relief. I personally hope there is some levity involved, as season 1 could have used some more humor and fewer melodramatic longshots of messengers running through stairwells.

Whichever course they choose to take with the scene, Alicent Hightower is likely to be extremely upset with her second son who has just doomed any chance at peace. Remember: after her son Aegon Targaryen took the Iron Throne, Alicent was trying to mollify Aegon's half-sister Rhaenyra, who has long thought that her claim to the Iron Throne took precedence over Aegon. At first, Rhaenyra seemed receptive to overtures of peace, not wanting to plunge Westeros into all-out war. But after Aemond and Vhagar killed Rhaenyra's son, any hope of that is off the table. Aemond has a lot of explaining to do.
