Double down on the angst!
The Big Picture HBO's House of the Dragon exceeded all expectations last year after the largely disappointing ending of its parent series Game of Thrones. House of the Dragon, which spans decades, largely covers the relationship between Rhaenyra and Alicent from young girls into womanhood, and eventually to enemies. Early on in the show, however, it was teased that their friendship had another layer to it, implying that they were in a romantic relationship.
The show opts to have Rhaenyra and Alicent the same age, starting them both at fourteen when the series begins, so it can build on the foundation of their friendship. This is the core of the series, and why it works so well. The two girls are products of their circumstances, forced into playing this game for their own survival, and their friendship doesn't survive it.
This Would Have Had a Better Payoff for the Finale and the Future After the Hightowers orchestrates Aegon's ascent to the throne, her father Otto Hightower goes to Rhaenyra at Dragonstone, where they meet on the bridge. He offers her and her children peace if she acknowledges Aegon as king. They, of course, see it as an insult to be offered this, as she was the legitimate heir, and her children should be on the throne, not cupbearers and squires.
