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?
Electric Bookaloo: HOTD S02E04 – “The Red Dragon and the Gold” – Rewatch
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.
Electric Bookaloo: HOTD S02E03 – “The Burning Mill” – Rewatch
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.
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.
HOTD: Green Council (9) / Black Queen (10)
Steve and Anthony reair our coverage of the last two episodes of season one.
HOTD Rewatch: The Lord of the Tides
Adult Aemond is a truly excellent addition to the cast. King Viserys continues to be one of the most compelling characters in the show. The fuse has been lit for civil war.
HOTD Rewatch: Driftmark
Anthony’s favorite episode also happens to be the one wherein Rhaenyra has a dude murdered.
