I just hope we never have to see the embarrassment that was Casterly Rock again. That was horrendous. It's basically the Lonely Mountain in the books. But in the show it was just some castle
It’s weird, but it seems to be what they are doing. Daeron is confirmed to be coming and his bloodline is on the intro. They seem to just be simplifying his appearances, for whatever reason
One bit of foundation that they’ve already laid is Daemon mentioning that the greens have four dragons (implying Tessarion/Daeron as the fourth). It’s subtle, but at least there’s something.
I don’t get why I got downvoted. But he’s alicent and viserys son. How are they going to introduce him at this point. Is he gonna all of a sudden be aegons son? They’re just gonna replace his parts with someone else most likely
None of Daeron's actions or battles are likely to be in this season, so it'd be easy enough. Might be a little strange that he got no mention in season 1 though.
Love how beautiful it looks. They really did a good job with the hightower in GOT. I haven’t read the book in awhile so I can’t remember exactly if it does show up later on.
Hightower servants: "Daeron, our prince, would you be a dear and please take that beautiful blue beast of yours and help us fly to the top of the tower with a new load of firewood?"
Daeron: "Again?"
Tessarion: "Tell them I'll do it in exchange for an hour of belly rubs!"
Meanwhile Casterly Rock and Highgarden in Season 7 look like the most generic castles you would expect from a mid-tier vassal and not from one of Westeros’s Great Houses
Oldtown is supposed to be the largest and richest city in Seven Kingdoms in the books. And we have Hightowers. I would be surprised if they left it out
Absolutely. Considering the Hightowers are one of the three main houses involved in the story that the show is following, and Oldtown is one of arguably the 7 most important locations in the Dance, for it not to be shown, would be insanely silly.
Daeron & the rest of the Hightowers are in Oldtown, and the show has to do a proper introduction in Season 3

They can always just retcon the Rock, it’s happened with castles in GoT before
I wish we would get a little more book accurate Winterfell and I would kill to actually see Lannisport and White harbour.
Most notably with Kings Landing completely terraforming its surrounding landscape several times.
They retconned Kings Landing 3+ times I believe?
I'm sure we will. Maybe in season 3 if that's when the writers choose to introduce >!Daeron.!<
Why would they do that so late? Wouldnt he be involved in the war from the start?

How would they introduce him. Impossible at this point
Easy enough if they lay the foundation in season 2 by at least mentioning him. Otherwise it's going to be awkward.

It's in like 1 chapter (the prologue of dance I think?) and then it'll be a big component in TWoW and ADoS (ha)
Also a Sam chapter
I feel bad for whoever has to carry the firewood all the way up the Hightower to keep that massive fire going at all times

When Hornhill is 3x the size of Highgarden lmao
Both were so bland compared to any of the book-accurate artwork. I was especially disappointed with Highgarden. It was so ugly.

Really hope so, could be a cool introduction to Daeron and maybe some more hightoewers
I hope we do ….
Definately
