House of the Dragon

[KC_Connection]

This show exceeded my expectations significantly. I would also say that its 1st season was right on par, if not better than, GoT's 1st season. Considering the discourse around this show before it premiered (and anything GoT related really), this was a huge success.

Have to think its success is also going to directly lead to more spinoffs in this world, which I will certainly welcome (as long as the quality is maintained).

Daemon and Rhaenarya's firstborn Viserys II is the one that spawned all the kids.

Viserys II, had Aegon the IV, had Daeron II, had Maekar I, had Aegon V, who had Jaehaerys II, who had Aerys II (the mad king), who had Rhaegar, who had Jon Snow.

I only know this because my wife and daughter spent the most of the night watching youtube videos of the Targaryen succession.

This isn’t accurate. He would be some sort of cousin. Maybe uncle? But not direct lineage.

That is correct. Daemon and Rhaenarya are the (great 9 or 10) grandparents of Dany and Jon.
Daenarys is Rhaegar's sister. Rhaegar is Jon Snow's father. So that means Jon was balls deep in his aunt.
