Questo è il link futuro del post che vi sto invitando a leggere nei prossimi giorni su www.serialfiller.org e che qui è in anteprima
Come di consueto oggi vi porto dentro una nuova Anteprima di un articolo che fra qualche giorno o settimana vedrete Nella Mente di un SerialFiller, il mio blog interamente incentrato sul mondo delle serie tv e di cui, da qualche mese, ho deciso di regalarvi costantemente, in anticipo su quello che pubblicherò, gran parte dei post che vedrete su www.serialfiller.org.
Il quarto episodio, oltre ad essere l'ennesima testimonianza di uno show che sta funzionando alla grande, ci ripropone un oggetto con cui abbiamo un legame fortissimo e ci offre il ricordo di un nome spesso evocato e molto atteso nella serie madre.
Sto parlando della daga che Viserys impugna e forgia nel fuoco, o meglio "riscalda" al cospetto di sua figlia Rhaenira, narrandole che, secondo la profezia, quella daga sarà impugnata dal cosiddetto Principe che Fu Promesso, colui il quale riuscirà a dominare il ghiaccio ed il fuoco in tempi futuri e potenzialmente nefasti per tutto il reame. La profezia a cui già nel primo episodio si faceva riferimento (qui la recensione completa del pilot) è quella che Aegon sussurrò al suo erede e che da allora si tramanda di generazione in generazione fra gli eredi legittimi al trono di spade. Secondo la profezia, in tempi non troppo lontani, un nemico oscuro arriverà dal Nord, mettendo in pericolo il mondo dei vivi. Occorrerà che tutti i popoli e tutti gli eserciti del reame si uniscano per sconfiggerlo. A guidarli sarà Azor Ahai (il principe che fu promesso) il quale sarà l'ultimo anello della profezia, nota come "Il Canto del ghiaccio e del fuoco" (titolo della collana di Romanzi di Martin), e guiderà i popoli di Westeros contro il potentissimo nemico.
Tornando agli eventi di King of The Narrow Sea potremmo riassumerli con un simpatico "La principessa cerca marito", ribaltamento Martiniano del più scanzonato "Il principe cerca moglie".
La nostra sempre più amata Rhaenira, dopo aver strappato al padre la promessa di avere mano libera rispetto alla ricerca del proprio sposo, si reca, via mare, nei luoghi principali del regno alla ricerca del futuro consorte.
Problemi di età, di stile e di lignaggio ne corrodono la volontà, producendo un nulla di fatto. Al suo cospetto, infatti, giunge un anziano Lord della casata Dondarrion (troppo anziano) ed un giovanissimo rampollo della famiglia Blackwood (troppo giovane) suscitando l'ilarità di mezzo regno e gli sbadigli dell'erede al trono.
Rhaenira tornerà anzitempo dal suo tour. Salperà a King's Landing dove ad attenderla ci sarà una dirompente sorpresa.
Ricongiungimento fraterno. Coppe di vino. Sorrisi. Celebrazioni. Ricordi e la sensazione che qualcosa di importante stia covando sotto la pace di quei momenti familiari finalmente ritrovati.
Come sempre vi aspetto su www.serialfiller.org.

This is the future link to the post that I am inviting you to read in the coming days at www.serialfiller.org and which is previewed here
As usual, today I am bringing you inside a new Preview of an article that in a few days or weeks you will see In the Mind of a SerialFiller, my blog entirely focused on the world of TV series and of which, for the past few months, I have decided to constantly give you, in advance of what I will publish, most of the posts you will see on www.serialfiller.org.
Just as was the case with the first seasons of Game of Thrones (a review of the show here), the first cycle of episodes for House of The Dragon will consist of 10 episodes.
This is not the only similarity with the parent series, just think of the theme song that takes up Ramin Djawadi's iconic opening in its entirety with different imagery, however. The structure is faithful to the series from which House of The Dragon is based, and there are many cues and references that make us feel constantly connected to the HBO series with Kit Harington, Emilia Clarke, Sophie Turner and the rest of the acting team.
The liturgies, conventions, and written and unwritten laws that govern the men and women of Westeros always have a familiar touch and many times end up rekindling in us old fires that seemed to have died down by now.
The fourth episode, in addition to being yet another testament to a show that is working great, reintroduces us to an object with which we have a very strong bond and offers us a reminder of an oft-evoked and much-anticipated name in the mother series.
I am talking about the dagger that Viserys wields and forges in fire, or rather "heats up" in the presence of her daughter Rhaenira, narrating to her that, according to prophecy, that dagger will be wielded by the so-called Prince Who Was Promised, the one who will succeed in mastering ice and fire in future and potentially nefarious times for the whole realm. The prophecy already referred to in the first episode (full review of the pilot here) is the one that Aegon whispered to his heir and that has been passed down from generation to generation among the rightful heirs to the throne of swords ever since. According to the prophecy, in times not too far off, a dark enemy will come from the North, endangering the world of the living. It will be necessary for all the peoples and all the armies of the realm to unite to defeat him. Leading them will be Azor Ahai (the prince who was promised) who will be the last link in the prophecy, known as "The Song of Ice and Fire" (the title of Martin's Romance series), and will lead the peoples of Westeros against the very powerful enemy.
We all know how that turned out although books and series diverged quite a bit waiting for Martin to grace todo el mundo by releasing the final chapters.
Going back to the dagger, the one that is pictured in the cover image of this post is exactly the one that Arya Stark wielded during the final events of The Long Night, piercing and killing the Night King and the entire blue-eyed army.
Returning to the events of King of The Narrow Sea, we could sum them up with a sympathetic "The Princess Seeks a Husband," a Martinian reversal of the more lighthearted "The Prince Seeks a Wife."
Our ever-loving Rhaenira, having wrung her father's promise of a free hand with respect to the search for her groom, travels, by sea, to the principal places of the kingdom in search of her future spouse.
Problems of age, style and lineage corrode her will, producing a nullity. In fact, an elderly lord of House Dondarrion (too old) and a very young scion of the Blackwood family (too young) arrive before her, arousing the hilarity of half the kingdom and the yawns of the heir to the throne.
Rhaenira will return prematurely from her tour. She will set sail at King's Landing where a disruptive surprise will be waiting for her.
Daemon Targaryen will be welcomed by his brother to celebrate (?) his victory over the Triarchy. Standing before Viserys will be a Daemon without his thick hair and with a crown, placed on his head by the free peoples of the Narrow Sea, which will generate initial distrust.
Is the prince so foolish as to show up at King's Landing, before the king, with a crown of his own on his head? How much insolence and disregard for danger dwells in Daemon's soul?
Fortunately for the king, and the onlookers, Daemon will kneel before the rightful king, offering him the Narrow Sea and the aforementioned crown.
Fraternal reunion. Cups of wine. Smiles. Celebrations. Memories and the feeling that something important is brooding under the peace of those familiar moments finally found.
