Draco and the Seven Scales

Westeros is full of dragons during the Targaryens’ early rule, and HotD is finally starting to use them. So here are all the dragons and dragonriders and the sides they’ve chosen in the show so far.

The Boys’ final episode may be a bit overly predictable at times, but the strong execution and big character moments make for a satisfying send-off to the series. Read our full review.

Seasoned Westeros watchers will see potential problems arising with each scene of this episode. Everywhere Rhaenyra turns there’s someone looking for a piece of her (rodent bites both literal and figurative). Any one of these requests could be key to her undoing, and it’s very clear that she’s navigating a dangerous path. From the impossibly cool pre-opening credits scene to Rhaenyra ultimately swearing to burn all who stand against her, this episode moves almost too fast to track; no wonder Rhaenyra dissociates as she sits on her uncomfortable throne.

House of the Dragon Season 3, Episode 4 is a meaty, schemey affair, and an installment that works particularly hard to move pieces around the board in interesting new combinations.
