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.

Per il re, a 3 anni dall'annuncio delle proprie nozze con Alicent, è tempo di bilanci.
Aemma non c'è più, e proprio ora che Alicent è al suo fianco, un biondo primogenito maschio è tra le sue braccia, ed un altro in arrivo, Viserys si accorge di aver ucciso l'unica donna che amasse, e che l'aveva reso uomo, per una ossessione, in fondo, di potere.

Viserys, senza accorgersene, muoverà ulteriori passi contro sua figlia, spingendola tra le braccia di un Lannister (ed ecco che nomi noti per i fan di Game of Thrones riemergono) prima e rendendo pubblico, durante un alterco con lei, il desiderio di darla in sposa al più presto.
Questo fatto decreterà il loro ulteriore, ma non definitivo, allontanamento, con la principessa che troverà riparo in Carston Cole, divenuto nel frattempo primo cavaliere del Re, il quale riuscirà a placarne l'ira inseguendola a cavallo nei boschi, dandole ascolto e proteggendola.

C'è tutta la differenza di temperamento fra padre e figlia in quell'accostamento. Viserys sembra, ed è visto dalla sua corte, un uomo debole e sempre meno affidabile. Rhaenira, sin dalla presentazione (sporca di sangue e furente a cavallo), da sempre più l'impressione di essere una predestinata. Forte, capace di sporcarsi le mani, battagliera e determinata come il padre non sembra più essere.

Veniamo, infine, a quanto accade nelle Stepstones.
Daemon, ricevuta una lettera dal fratello nella quale Viserys gli offriva aiuto ed un simbolico ramoscello d'ulivo in battaglia, ci offre un colpo di coda tanto inatteso quanto felino e adrenalinico.
L'uomo si presenta al cospetto di Cragar, indifeso e senza Caraxes, brandendo una bandiera bianca, universale segno di resa.
Il nutrigranchi e gli uomini della Triarchia, abboccheranno e, in una sequenza che per ferocia e ritmo ha ricordato The Battle of Bastards, si mostreranno in campo aperto contro Daemon (che avevamo già visto in azione nel pilot) il quale riuscirà a uccidere un manipolo di nemici ed attirarne a sè molti altri, senza mai arrendersi ed esponendosi ad un rischio totale.
Corlys e Caraxes arriveranno in tempo. Il principe è salvo e ha dimostrato, a tutti, il suo coraggio.
Se c'era un modo per renderlo immortale agli occhi dell'esercito di Corlys e dei 7 regni era questo.
Ma non basta.
Pochi istanti e ritroveremo Daemon, cosparso di sangue, con un busto tra le mani.
E' quello del famigerato Nutrigranchi.
La Triarchia è stata sconfitta.
Il suo leader fatto a brandelli.

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.

For the king, 3 years after announcing his own wedding to Alicent, it is time to take stock.
Aemma is gone, and just now that Alicent is by his side, a blond firstborn son is in his arms, and another on the way, Viserys realizes that he has killed the only woman he loved, and who made him a man, for an obsession, after all, with power.
His only brother has turned against him, and he, Viserys, has done little or nothing to stem that conflict, exacerbating it with silences and emotional distance now sidereal.
That left Rhaenira, his Rhaenira, still physically by his side, still heir-designate to the throne but now far removed from him since that shock announcement took away the portrait of a mother to whom she was bound, a friend as loyal as Alicent, and the certainty of becoming the first queen of Westeros.
Viserys, without realizing it, will take further steps against her daughter, pushing her into the arms of a Lannister (and here are familiar names for Game of Thrones fans resurfacing) first and making public, during an altercation with her, his desire to give her away as soon as possible.
This fact will decree their further, but not final, estrangement, with the princess finding shelter in Carston Cole, who has meanwhile become the King's first knight, and who manages to appease her wrath by chasing her on horseback through the woods, listening to her and protecting her.
Beautiful is the scene, or rather the overlapping scenes, in which we witness a reluctant Viserys as hunter and a fierce Rhaenira slaughtering, by dagger blows, a boar that had tried to kill her.
There is the whole difference in temperament between father and daughter in that juxtaposition. Viserys seems, and is seen by his court, a weak and increasingly unreliable man. Rhaenira, from the very introduction (bloodstained and furious on horseback), increasingly gives the impression of being a predestined. Strong, capable of getting her hands dirty, belligerent and determined as her father no longer seems to be.
Their conflict, however, seems to find a turning point when Viserys, in a moment of open confrontation with her daughter imposes on her, again, to find a husband but this time leaving her free to choose who should be the prince to sit beside her.
It is a countercultural act that displaces Rhaenira and softens the emotional conflict between the 2, renewing, at last, their affection.
Will that be enough?

We come, finally, to what happens in the Stepstones.
Daemon, having received a letter from his brother in which Viserys offered him help and a symbolic olive branch in battle, gives us a tailspin that is as unexpected as it is feline and adrenaline-pumping.
The man stands before Cragar, helpless and without Caraxes, brandishing a white flag, a universal sign of surrender.
The nutrigranchi and the men of the Triarchy, take the bait and, in a sequence that in ferocity and pace recalled The Battle of Bastards, show themselves in the open field against Daemon (whom we had already seen in action in the pilot) who manages to kill a handful of enemies and attract many more to himself, never surrendering and exposing himself to total risk.
Corlys and Caraxes will arrive in time. The prince is safe and has proven, to all, his courage.
If there was a way to make him immortal in the eyes of the army of Corlys and the 7 kingdoms, this was it.
But it is not enough.
A few moments and we find Daemon, sprinkled with blood, with a torso in his hands.
It is that of the infamous Nutrigranchi.
The Triarchy has been defeated.
Its leader torn to shreds.
The Stepstones are once again under the control of the Targaryens and Westeros.
Daemon is officially the most beloved man in the 7 kingdoms.
But this, Viserys (like the Alice in De Gregori's song), does not yet know.
It concludes another masterful episode, where the merits are increasingly concrete and the flaws increasingly faded. In the week when the world has been awaiting and then criticizing the arrival of the long-awaited series based on The Lord of The Rings (full review on the first 2 episodes here), House of The Dragon seems to want to tell us that, for fantasy lovers, the place on the throne, Tolkien or no Tolkien, still belongs to her, still belongs to Westeros, still belongs to George Martin's universe.
