The Dragonpit S2E6: Indignities

The episode starts with a scene of the Lannisters marching to war and Jason Lannister summoning Aemond to join him. Obviously, Aemond hates that and screams at his council that they must get more aggressive in their efforts to end the blockade and take back Harrenhal, going so far as to dismiss his cautious mother from the group. Aegon’s recovery bothers Aemond who continues to terrorize the inhabitants of the Red Keep. On Dragonstone, Rhaenyra asks Ser Steffon Darklyn to try to try mount Sea...

The Dragonpit S2E4: The Queen Who Never Was

The Dragonpit S2E1: "I want Aemond Targaryen"🩸🧀

We’re back with Episode 1 of Season 2 and kick off with the melancholy tones of the Stark theme song — that can only mean one thing: winter and war are coming. Jace does his best to reinforce their alliance but Cregan doesn’t need reminding because the North remembers their oaths. This was a good way of reminding the rest of us that this isn’t just a story about the Greens v. Blacks, but a bigger threat is looming and at least the Starks and Team Black know the costs. We leave the North...

Like an episode of Downton Abbey, the show brings all of the main characters together for a big party with a lot of Dowager Countess side-eye — otherwise known as a Westeori funeral. Everyone is in Dirftmark for Lena’s funeral where the priest explicitly calls out bloodlines. After the drama, Daemon and Rhaenyra rekindle their love on the beach while Aemond goes to claim Vhagar.

The enmity between Alicent’s children and Rhaenrya’s is palpable as they try to tame dragons in the dragon pit and come to blows in the training yard with the help of Harwin Strong. The tension is even worse between their moth...
