While the show’s extended focus on the Targaryen family conflicts wasn’t ideal, it’s arguably not the biggest problem. In Season 2, Rhaenyra sends her stepdaughter, Rhaena, along with her sons Joffrey, Viserys, and Aegon, to the Vale with Jeyne Arryn. Rhaena is tasked with caring for the boys and guarding their dragons, Tyraxes and Stormcloud, as well as four dragon eggs. These eggs are later destined to hatch 170 years later with Daenerys Targaryen in Essos, but their presence in Westeros at this point in the story creates a confusing and illogical change to the established timeline.
