House of the Dying Sun

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.

Review: Pirates! Dragons! Ships! Fire! Betrayal, chaos, death and destruction... House of the Dragon's Season 3 premiere has it all.

The Game of Thrones spinoff House of the Dragon is back on June 21 on HBO, with a new trailer promising fire, blood, and dragons.

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.
