I know you're long past this, but regarding Cersei drinking wine....you're thinking with a 20/21 century perspective. 1) People didn't know about the affects of alcohol on pregnancy or babies then and 2) water was bad, wine & ale was the standard drink for everyone, except the poor who contracted diseases from drinking the waters (waste was commonly dumped in water, as was refuse of construction, rotten food, and corpses even on occasion.) So just because Cersei was drinking wine doesn't mean she wasn't pregnant, and in fact her behavior at the end of Ep 5 indicates she was.
I had to become a patreon as a token of my admiration for all your reactions. I watched in YouTube all the way from season 1 ep 1 until s08 e02 but it kills me not to see your entire reaction to s08 e03... so here I am. p.s.: and as usual, you look beautiful on all your reactions :)
So yes about the dragons: only someone with Targaryen blood can ride a dragon that's a fact. To be more specific it's about Valyrian blood, but not all valyrians can ride a dragon, only those families with "magic/dragon blood" can ride a dragon and create a bound. So as for this episode and season 8 it's just and I'm sorry to say so a bad writing. Like D&D said "they kind of forgot" that specific point and a lot of them by the way. But yes people in winter fell should have been shocked about it. season 8 as a lot of downs regarding the writing. If you watch House of the Dragon you'll learn more about the blood of the dragon.
Why would anyone have reason to know that? It's been over a century since a Dragon, let alone a dragon that could be ridden even existed. At the show's start, Daenerys even tells her handmaiden she only knows "what her brother knew" about dragons. It's not bad writing. It would not be common knowledge at this point in time and there's no reason even to believe anyone in Winterfell would know this lol.
You're right on the pulse of everything with your interpretations in my humble opinion. Great reaction!
Daenerys has no clue about Dragons either, she's just noticed how much they like & trust him. She didn't have family to teach her, Viserys didn't know much except they ate meat. She struggled with feeding them at the beginning if u remember. They liked their meat cooked. Yes only Targaryens can ride Dragons but nobody has for centuries.
