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.
