From Birth to death by Dragon fire, this episode is the best so far. With the largest time jump yet and recasting (technically they were cast first), House of the Dragon has stepped out of the shadow of Game of Thrones and has loudly and vehemently announced its presence to the world. While I do not give a blow-by-blow breakdown, I do discuss many of the events of the show and its impact while giving you a few fan theories to think about and flat out deny. Thank you to the a...

Being no strangers to controversy, HOTD has once again made us collectively cringe and salivate. The Targaryen fire burned and smoldered all over the small screen laying waste from the steps of a brothel to the throne room of the Red Keep. Aliance's were rekindled and broken, lies, scandal and controversy that will rock the very core of the Iron throne...all while Otto updates his resume. Press play and get lost in the drama.

Spoiler Warning**************** In the wake of the surprising and questionable exit of Miguel Sapochnik, and the sometimes-confusing time jumps, there was worry that the show may begin to fall off. This proved to be premature and quite honestly way off base. This episode not only sured up some holes in the current cannon, but it also wedged itself into the top ten battle scenes of all time and cemented some of your favorite characters positions while others fell unceremoniously fr...

"An event that came to be known only as 'the Doom' laid waste to the Valyrians, their capital city, and its surrounding lands. The peninsula itself was shattered, becoming what is now the Smoking Sea. Every dragon was thought to be lost... as were the Valyrians' spells, knowledge, and recorded history. Thus, the mighty empire collapsed." ―Viserys Targaryen The Valyrians were the top dogs of Westeros. The greatest and most powerful free city ever to cast a shadow ended in one day. ...

SPOILER ALERT!!!! This week we have a visitor to the South Side. An Artist, Creator, and Game of Thrones fanatic, my companion for this episode, Lady Tiesha, hails from the heart of Flea Bottom and brings a unique understanding of George's world that will only add fuel to the fire of the Lord of Light. We breakdown the episode from front to back and drop some jewels you may not have noticed in the frenzy that was episode 1. Action packed and full of plot lines, there is so m...

I continue my look into the enigma that is Tyrion Lannister. Part spoiled rich kid, part massive underachiever, part lucky son of a gun. While Tyrion is a fan favorite and was written to garner a tremendous amount of sympathy, he for all accounts suffered from the fatal flaw of wanting to be liked by those "beneath" him. This serves him well sometimes in the case of Bronn. But, most times, it leads to his downfall. Season 2 shows extreme highs and lows for our de...

***** SPOILER ALERT******SPOILER ALERT********* SPOILER ALERT********* Here, we take a look at the source materials for The House of the Dragon. While Georges books always differ from the product presented to us by HBO and the show runners. Fire and Blood, the in-history books, provide a vague outline to base the show on which could work in favor of the producers, but.... I can see some inconsistencies that may pose an issue in the future. Some changes were necessary while o...

Highly important, rarely seen, and directly related to the victory of the living. Uncle Benjen should be celebrated as the hero of Winterfeld. It was amazing how he happened to be in the right place at the right time...every time...they needed him...like...magic? Were these just lucky instances or did he have a deeper knowledge of what was to come and was placed at key events purposely and not by chance. Press play and let's figure this time out. ��Contact:��� Email: souths...

What is dead may never die. Since the Dawn Age, the Iron born have followed the Drowned God, who plucked fire from the sea, and made us to reave and sack, and carve our names in blood and song. But even the hardest of the Iron Born still bow their heads and praise the Drown God, Press play and pay the iron price. ��Contact:��� Email: southsidewesteros@gmail.com �Website: Home | South Side Westeros �IG: Southsidewesteros (@southsidewesteros) �Twitter: South Side Westeros (@...

As more information on the planned sequel to Game of Thrones (Lets go with Snow for the time being) is being released, I'm pretty sure we are going to see this. Now the fun begins. Given the fact that Kit Harrington himself pitched this to HBO we can only imagine where the story may go. I spitball ideas off the top of my head an encourage you to stomp all over them and give me some of your own. Press play and hate me. ��Contact:��� Email: southsidewesteros@gmail.com �...

Patron Episode 2 travels across the narrow sea to vast plains that are home to the Dothraki. The violent and feared horde strikes terror in the hearts and minds of all that are in their reach and beyond. Known as godless savages, one would be surprised to learn they have a belief system that while rudimentary, it is complex in its own way and deserves to be explored. Press play and enter the world of Khal's & Kings. ��Contact:��� Email: southsidewesteros@gmail.com �Webs...

intro into the House of the Dragon series, NO SPOILERS. Let's talk about what to expect as well as how this may connect to the recently announce sequel to Game of Thrones starring Jon Snow.

Chapter 2 picks up where we left off as The Mad Queen tries to keep her fragile hold over Kings Landing in the face of direct rebellion against the legitimacy of her children's rights to the Iron throne. While she is painted as the wicked witch of the south, she is not Soley responsible for the creature that would become Joffrey. I am not defending the Queen, but I will paint a clear picture of the events that would shape her. Press play and see this through her eyes. ��Con...

The best of the worst series lands in the throne room of Kings Landing. through the darkness you see to piercing eyes staring at you from behind a glass of wine. The scowl is filled with evil intent and unresolved trauma. Mad may be misleading as we are referencing the smoldering anger behind the actions of Cersei Lannister and not her mental wellbeing (which is still in question). We will explore the beginnings of this woman who would be queen and maybe, just maybe, find em...

In the wake of the Johnny Depp & Amber Heard trial I felt the need to explore another trial with similar if not greater implications and ramifications for both parties. While Shae never defiled Tyrion's Pillow, she did however commit grievous perjury that sentenced someone she claimed to love to death. All for the crime of stating the truth about her and caring enough to finance a comfortable life for her elsewhere. Let's not forget the insult sprinkled on top of the inj...

Ser Barristan Selmy was a knight who served in the Kingsguard with distinction for over forty years. Nicknamed Barristan the Bold, he was considered by many to be one of the best swordsmen and most honorable men in all the Seven Kingdoms. However, the end of his life was a search for redemption, attempting to right wrongs, make up for failures and reclaim lost honor. But once again, the sum of the man may have been missed and the shadow he cast was far larger than we all could fat...

We ask the congregation to open your GOT bibles and turn to The Book of Snow. In this book I will preach to you tales of a great man who accomplished many things and save innumerable lives while giving his own in the name of good. Brothers and sisters, the man I speak about is Jon Snow. And while many of you uplift this man, rightfully so, you may have missed key events in his upbringing and circumstances that will show you he was more prepared to be the savior of Westeros t...

This is Taboo. I am going to attempt to present a case to the court of public opinion. While I realize the level of ambition is astounding and the mere fact that the fever is so high to this day stacks the deck against me. This, however, does not deter the Master of Whispers and I will prove to the court that the final season was not as bad as one would be led to believe and dare I say it was good and the best way to end the series? Well, I won't go that far but press play a...
