Talking about the poster, Vedang is seen in an intense avatar with a blue background. Alia’s back is visible in the image and she is seen standing on top of a damaged car, surrounded by fire, with weapons in her hand. There is a barrier separating them. The caption of the post read, “Tu mere protection mein hai (You are under my protection),” signifying the sibling bond between Vedang and Alia’s characters.

A solo poster of Alia was released later that showed her stressed but determined face. In the caption, the actress wrote, “Kahaani bahut lambi hai aur bhai ke paas waqt bahut bahut kam (The story is very long and brother has very little time).”

Janhvi Kapoor left fire emojis under the second poster, while Alia’s Alpha co-star Sharvari Wagh used hammer and fire emojis. Alia’s mother Soni Razdan applauded her and wished, “Congratulations.”

He shared the post on September 4 (Wednesday) to share the promise he made to elaborate on more thoughts about Blood & Cheese and Maelor the Missing after commenting on the first two episodes of the series, A Son For A Son and Rhaenyra the Cruel.

Martin appreciated those episodes, calling them “well written, well directed, powerfully acted.” This was a good start to a new season, Martin further pointed out, and the show’s fans and critics seemed to agree.

He mentioned the notable amount of criticism that was garnered after the “handling of Blood and Cheese” and the passing of Prince Jaehaerys. From the online commentary, he observed different opinions of fans about that. It wasn’t up to the mark for the readers of Fire & Blood, but the viewers who had not gone through the book did not have this problem as they seemingly liked it, and Martin found himself agreeing with both sides.

The author mentions the significant differences in the books and the show including the number of kids in a house and ages. In the book, Aegon and Helaena have three children, the twins Jaehaerys and Jaehaera, who are six, and they have a two-year-old brother, Maelor (who is not in the show). He revealed that when Blood and Cheese take their vengeance for the death of Prince Lucerys demanding Haelena to choose who should die among her children. She names Maelor, but they end up killing Jaehaerys, and Cheese tells Maelor that his mother wanted him to die.

In the post, the writer shared that the scene is “stronger” in the book. He shared that the actors who portrayed the killers on the show were “excellent” but the characters were more cruel, hard and terrifying in Fire & Blood. He mentioned the end of the post, “And there are larger and more toxic butterflies to come, if HOUSE OF THE DRAGON goes ahead with some of the changes being contemplated for seasons 3 and 4.”
