Steve and Anthony talk about virtues and vices of montages. Alicent’s turn, Daemon’s vision, and the glory that is Simon Strong’s eyeball work. We debate: was this really a season finale? Steve argues in the affirmative.
Should the Corlys progeny connection be more obvious? Also, why is Oscar Tully’s take down of Daemon so delightful? Steve and Anthony discuss the Red Sowing.
Excellent dragon work, development of themes, musical choices. The Small Folk rates Properly Dinklage (although we forgot to mention that during the recording).
This episode contains Anthony’s favorite scene in House of the Dragon. Also: does Jace have a punchable face?
Steve and Anthony delight in the masterful storytelling of Rook’s Rest. Then Dr. Philiip Haberkern discusses House of the Dragon as great television and as a window into historical institutions. Phil discusses (among other things) historical parallels to Criston Cole’s necklace.
This episode is excellent on rewatch. Daemon is interesting again. The Alicent vs. Rhaenyra showdown is superb. Simon Strong is the perfect addition to an already stellar cast.
Is this the best Otto episode? Why is Aegon so watchable? Aemond’s rent-a-mommy scene is fantastic. Steve and Anthony are both feeling a bit greener than usual. That said, the promise of Alyn, Addam, and Hugh is exhilarating.
