The Makeover of King Viserys Targaryen's Makeup Was Influenced by "Reality" Diseases

www.popsugar.co.uk, October 26, 2022
We see King Viserys Targaryen slowly be overwhelmed by his terminal illness in "House of the Dragon." Barrie Gower, the prosthetics designer behind the king's ever-evolving appearance, recently revealed specifically how he made the makeup on our screens, revealing that it was a matter of (depicting) life and death. Paddy Considine, the self-proclaimed "monster" and Emmy-winning special effects artist (who was also responsible for "Stranger Things"'s Vecna), turned him into the sickly King Viserys Targaryen over the course of eight episodes, depicting a tragic case of leprosy throughout 20 years. According to a Variety interview, Gower and his crew didn't want to make Considine look like a monster, so they looked to real diseases for inspiration.

Everything That Happened in Season 1 of "House of the Dragon"

www.popsugar.co.uk, October 25, 2022
House Targaryen's titular house, House of Dragons, has a warning — "Fire and Blood" in the House of Lords — and the "Game of Thrones" drama lived up to those words. There were violent deaths and births, saddening tragedies, forensic backstabulations, steamy sex scenes, and swarms of dragons. The first season of The Dance of Dragons tells the story of the realm that the people will be divided and compelled to determine who their true king is: Queen Rhaenyra or Prince Aegon. So far, the show has mostly honed in on Rhaeny and her stepmother Alicent's transformation from childhood acquaintances to violent rivals, who have been torn apart by patriarchal forces. We've got you covered if you want a recap of everything that happened during the first ten episodes of the Westeros-set romance. Here's a recap of season one of "House of the Dragon."

House of the Dragon: The Targaryen and The Hightower families go to war

www.dailymail.co.uk, October 24, 2022
In the Season 1 finale of HBO's House of the Dragon, the Targaryen family and the Hightower family wage an all-out war for the Iron Throne. Despite Viserys' naming his daughter Rhaenyra (Emma D'Arcy) as his successor years earlier, King Viserys (Paddy Considine) died, with Queen Alicent (Olivia Cooke) installing her son Aegon (Tom Glynn-Carney) as the new king last week. Rhaenys (Eve Best) - The Queen Who Wasn't - made her presence at the coronation service with her dragon, then headed to Dragonstone to inform Rhaenyra what had happened.

King Viserys has died as Queen Alicent prepares

www.dailymail.co.uk, October 17, 2022
King Viserys Targaryen (Paddy Considine), who suffered for years with an unknown disease, has died in the ninth episode of HBO's House of the Dragon. In last week's eighth episode, The Lord of the Tides, the King was seen sleeping in his bed taking his last breath, which was six years behind the previous one. The Green Council, Sunday night's new series, takes place almost immediately after the last episode, as Viserys' succession is dealt with.

All Your Questions About King Viserys's Illness, Answered

www.popsugar.co.uk, October 12, 2022
As "House of the Dragon" builds up the years-long conflict that will tear House Targaryen apart, there are already signs that the royal house is struggling to keep it together. Viserys I, the king, has been plagued with a nasty disease that has exacerbated his suffering through the remainder of the season. Here's everything we know about Viserys' illness and what it signifies within the story. Viserys cuts his hand on one of the Iron Throne's most prominent points (remember, the throne is actually made up of a thousand swords of those fought during Aegon I Targaryen's conquest of Westeros). By the time the second episode rolls around, it's clear that the day's medicine isn't doing enough to assist him. His hand is contaminated, and the maesters attempt to save his fingers, which are clearly decaying.

In the stead of King Viserys' reign, another ten-years has passed

In Sunday night's eighth episode, HBO's House of the Dragon has skipped over another decade after a 10-year time gap. Otto Hightower (Rhys Ifans) has been ruled as the Hand of the King in the absence of the obviously ailing Viserys Targaryen, according to P. Considine's report. Princess Rhaenyra (Emma D'Arcy) and Prince Daemon (Matt Smith) seem to have had enough of the Hightowers assuming the throne when they set off to King's Landing.

David Tennant's Son Ty Is "House of the Dragon"'s Young Aegon

www.popsugar.co.uk, September 27, 2022
"House of the Dragon" viewers got to know Prince Aegon, the eldest son of King Viserys (Paddy Considine) and Queen Alicent (Olivia Cooke). With his nephews, Jace (Leo Hart) and Lucerys (Harvey Sadler), the mischievous boy engaged in his own hijinks. Ty Tennant, the son of David Tennant and his wife Georgia, is the newest incarnation of the character, ten years older than the toddler viewers saw in early episodes. Ty, 20, was born in Georgia when she was 17 years old. Ty was adopted by Georgia when he married David in 2011. In total, the couple have five children. Ty has been following in his parents' footsteps for the past few years. He appeared in "War of the Worlds" for three years, as well as in series and films such as "Tolkein" and "Doom Patrol." Olive, Ty's 11-year-old sister, is also an actor and appeared in the film "Belfast" last year. Ty walked the red carpet with his sister and shared how proud he was of her on his Instagram.

Alicent Nor Rhaenyra Is the Villain of "House of the Dragon" is not a story of the Dragon

www.popsugar.co.uk, September 21, 2022
I'm over heels over the first episode of "House of the Dragon" (Milly Alcock) and Alicent (Emily Carey). They were sweet, affectionate, and amusing. There was a little bit of competitive streak between them, and their closeness bordered on passion. In episode two, Alicent related her grief over her mother's death to Rhaenyra's more recent loss of her mother. However, the entire season has been an experiment in how things can fall apart, culminating in Alicent's grand entrance in a green dress at Rhaenyra's wedding reception, proudly revealing which party she supports. I gasped when Alicent called her "stepdaughter." All affection has been discarded, evidently for good. Fans are hurling a lot of blame in the aftermath of episode five. Anybody believes it's Alicent's fault. The queen seduced her. Rhaenyra may have understood her sympathy, or at least not been so harsh in her decision. However, neither Alicent nor Rhaenyra is the villain. They're two young girls in an impossible situation that was made worse by patriarchy. They're the only two women in the Red Keep for the vast majority of the time. They don't have no parents or mentors to talk to or confide in about their friendship, jealousy, or concerns. They're trying to thrive in a world in which they don't want them to thrive because they're women.

In Episode 5, the House of Dragons' audience grew by another 3%

In "House of the Dragon," there is a symbolism behind the hairstyles

www.popsugar.co.uk, September 16, 2022
"House of the Dragon," HBO's prequel to "Game of Thrones," delves into the House Targaryen's turbulent past nearly 200 years ago, before Daenerys Targaryen (played by Emilia Clarke) competed for the Iron Throne. Even though the series introduces us to a whole new cast, including King Viserys Targaryen (Matt Smith), Prince Daemon Targaryen (Matt Smith), and Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen (Milly Alcock), to name a few — there's a lot of symbolism in the hair and costumes to unpack, much like the original version. Fans of "Game of Thrones" know that hair color is often a good way to tell members of the household apart. Despite the size of Westeros, a white-blonde typically indicates a Targaryen; a Lannister, not a white blond. Daenerys was known for her icy blonde and intricate half-down braided hairstyles in the original show, while Rhaegar (Wilf Scolding) had bleached and tousled waves. Despite the fact that the new show focuses on a completely different plot, the signature hairstyles are still easy to spot, with similar designs surfacing between King Viserys and Rhaegar, as well as Daenerys and Rhaenyra.
