In Season 1 of House of the Dragon, allusions to its parent show, Game of Thrones, were few and far between. The prequel was at least a century removed from the events of the original HBO series, and seemed content to keep its storylines separate. But that’s started to change in Season 2 as House Targaryen launches into the Dance of Dragons, with occasional Easter eggs bridging the gap between the series. A recent House of the Dragon episode may have drawn a parallel between Queen Rhaenyra (Emma D’Arcy) and another would-be Targaryen monarch, Game of Thrones’ Danaerys (Emilia Clarke).
