Electric Bookaloo: HOTD S02E07 – The Red Sowing – Rewatch
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.
Electric Bookaloo: HOTD S02E06 – Small Folk – Rewatch
Excellent dragon work, development of themes, musical choices. The Small Folk rates Properly Dinklage (although we forgot to mention that during the recording).
Electric Bookaloo: HOTD S02E05 – “Regent” – Rewatch
This episode contains Anthony’s favorite scene in House of the Dragon. Also: does Jace have a punchable face?
House of the Dragon - HOTD vs. Fire & Blood – S02E04 – The Red Dragon and the Gold
Lord Commander A.Ron and King Jimhaerys consult the ancient tome of Fire & Blood by GRRM. Was the confrontation between Aemond and Aegon part of the plan, or a surprise opportunity? Would you rather get married or bond with a dragon? Dragon…obviously.
House of the Dragon - HOTD vs. Fire & Blood – S02E03 – The Burning Mill
How difficult was it to claim Harrenhal in the book? And much Alys Rivers was there? And it’s really only that many paragraphs? I guess it’s a good thing we also have your feedback and some bonus readings on the dragon pit! This week’s reading: Daemon Takes Harrenhal: pg.412 through pg.413 Battle of the Burning…
House of the Dragon - HOTD vs. Fire & Blood – S02E02 – Rhaenyra the Cruel
Lets revisit Arryk Cargyll’s mission, recontextualize Aegon’s hissy fit and Otto’s scheming, and maybe splash in a little bit of Daemon that is shuffled around in the show as we cover the sections of Fire & Blood that are relevant to “Rhaenyra the Cruel.” This week’s reading: pg.428 p.2 through pg.430 p.3 and pg.431 p.2…
Electric Bookaloo: HOTD S02E02 – “Rhaenyra the Cruel” – Rewatch
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.

Electric Bookaloo: HOTD S02E01 – “A Son for a Son” – Rewatch

HOTD – “Burning Mill” / Berry Gordy’s “The Last Dragon”
Steve and Anthony discuss (in brief) the new kingsguard, Hightower snobbery, and Rhaenys’s overall virtue. Then we review the film Berry Gordy’s The Last Dragon.
