Welcome to Hot D, the official unofficial podcast for House of the Dragon on HBO.

I'm Jim.

I'm Aaron.

Today we're back with season one episode six feedback episode.

Aaron, I hear the feedback is just overfilled this week.

Again, it's not I don't know if we'll ever get the season seven season eight game of thrones where we're getting a thousand messages a week, but we got just under 250.

I just counted.

I've got 38 here in my doc.

I doubt we'll even get to read all those apologies if I didn't get your email, but I'm trying to represent thoughts and opinions more than individual people.

And I hope I'm doing a pretty good job of that.

But you know, I read you decide hotd at ballmove.com is how you run the gauntlet is how you one man Damon the Targaryen your way into the show.

Hope you have dragons air support.

First up is Vanessa from San Jose, Cali for the y'all who says I was listening to your feedback episodes today, specifically the discussion around Kristen and Rain is close relationship and couldn't help but thinking about the choices.

The choices the show runners have made in terms of aging or de aging their characters or playing with the initial timeline events.

And how that changes our own opinions of the major characters on the chess board.

For example, I think it's important to note that Sir Kristen had already been a member of the royal court for seven years at the beginning of the show.

A fact that the show runners had changed.

Sir Kristen first appeared on the scene was at the turni at maiden pool at 104 AC at 22 years of age. Rainier was just seven during the tournament he wore the princess's favor and presented her with the victors laurel shortly after that he was appointed her sworn shield by the seris.

How different would we the viewers view this adduction scene let alone the whole context of their relationship had we seen that it began when she was unquestionably a child.

How different would we see Sir Kristen himself and his ulterior motives.

Additionally, Allison's only 11 years of seris is junior they married when she was 18 of the seris is 29. Rainier was just nine years old at the time and Rainier was in fact named air by the seris after her mother's death when she was just eight again the choices of the show runners to make the two women closer and age changes their dynamic.

Do you think the show runners decision to change the time frame of these characters first met each other by over seven years has led to a better overall show.
