Westeros

The fifth episode of House of the Dragon has come and gone, and Westeros.org is back to discuss it in detail. They go over what they liked an disliked, deviations from the source text, and speculate on some of what the events of this episode mean for the show’s one retelling of the Dance of the Dragons. You can see the discussion video below!

Another evening, another episode of House of the Dragon. This one may be a surprise for many, as it shifts almost entirely (besides the cold open) to Rhaenyra’s story as she tries to get a grip with King’s Landing, the city she finally claimed at the end of the previous episode. Suffice it to say, there’s quite a lot to untangle about this episode.

Another exciting episode of House of the Dragon has come and gone, and Linda and I have recorded a video running through the episode, discussing changes from Fire and Blood, and some bits of background and dragon discussion. You can see the video below:

We’re back to discuss the events of “King of the Narrow Sea”, with our usual non-review focus on providing some more background information and changes from the source material to the screen. It’s an eventful episode, although one distinctly lacking in new dragon facts to discuss:

Another new episode of House of the Dragon, and another episode of Linda and Elio discussing it! This time we look into some of the changes to a couple of Kingsguard knights, and dive more into House Velaryon now that the episode reveals a change the show has made to their relationship to the Targaryens.

Share your thoughts on the video, and let us know if there’s any changes or background details you’d like us to discuss in future episodes!

Been a long time since we’ve done one of these, and suffice it to say the combination of rusty recollection plus a bunch of new equipment made this a bit of a trial. Add a very lively puppy plus sundry other things, and this video is later than we hoped, but it’s done. As we remarked in our “Not a Review” of the first six episodes, we’re not really reviewing the show (as we did—and then Linda did solo after I quit—with Game of Thrones) but instead discussing some of the choices and changes made in the adaptation, as well as providing some background information and (of course) dragon facts.
