Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT House of the Dragon season 2 opens with a quote that mirrors one of the most memorable lines from Game of Thrones. The prequel series takes place roughly between 170-200 years before the events of the original HBO fantasy drama, and House of the Dragon has made a distinct effort to establish fluid continuity despite the time gap.
"Love is the death of duty... What is honor compared to a woman's love? And what is duty against the feel of a newborn son in your arms? Or a brother's smile?... We're all human. Oh, we all do our duty when there's no cost to it. Honor comes easy then. Yet sooner or later in every man's life there comes a day when it's not easy. A day when he must choose.
Related The Secret Starks & Targaryen Deal That House Of The Dragon Didn't Reveal I'm disappointed that House of the Dragon season 2, episode 1's return to Winterfell didn't include the pact sealed by Cregan Stark & Jacaerys. Jon even mentions the quote in his scene with Tyrion Lannister, signifying how much it's stuck with him since season 1. Much of Jon's narrative can be defined by Aemon's words, as he similarly suffers in his romance with Ygritte. He loves her profoundly and even has a love for the wildlings and their way of life, but he knows he must prioritize the Night's Watch and protecting the realm from the White Walkers rather than running off with her and embracing a life of freedom.
