We’re nearing the end of our book vs. show coverage with episodes five and six of House of the Dragon Season Three. King Jimhaerys, Ser A.Ron and Acolyte Max talk Sabitha Frey’s protective privy, Criston Cole’s surprisingly more flattering depiction in the show than the book, and the questionable intelligence of dragons.
The mysteries keep piling up as Jim and A.Ron break down Silo Season 3, Episode 6, “The Drive”. They debate the logistics of the show’s memory-wiping technology and speculate about the true nature of the Algorithm. But the biggest question may be this: Is the series laying the groundwork for a much bigger reveal, or simply spinning its wheels?
We’ve got a Hightower of mail to get through this week for House of the Dragon, Season Three, Episode Six, “Faceless Men”. King Jimhaerys and Ser A.Ron hear the concerns of the realm, from the fate of Corlys to the history of Alys Rivers to Rhaenyra’s romantic entanglements. And as always, if you’re a book reader (or simply not averse to spoilers), stick around for Maester’s Corner—our spoiler section—where Acolyte Max joins Ser A.Ron to compare the ancient scrolls of GRRM with what Ryan Condal and company have cooked up this season.
Anthony meets up with Nolan, Melanie, Evan, and GDK to discuss a theory about Alys’s dormant Dreamfyre Eggs, to lament the death of Ser Cole, and talk fantasy league trash.
In the latest episode of HOTD, Criston Cole gets everything he’s ever deserved, Ormund receives a stinky surprise, and Alicent is given a nearly impossible task. King Jimhaerys and Ser A.Ron are here to discuss all of that and more. Plus, if you’re not afraid of book spoilers, stick around for a quick Maester’s Corner at the end of the show.
