With a last minute guest change, Steven Stark once again but probably not for the last time, joins The Silent Sisters' Blue_Lemons and LittleWolfBird to break down House of the Dragon Season 2 Episode 6 "Smallfolk." We go for the most part scene by scene, diving into topics such as how much lions eat and therefore how much dragons eat, the final nail in Alicent's coffin of lost power, Aemond's full debut as Regent, Aegon's terror, Daemon finally Asking Alys, at last some great PR on the Blacks' part thanks to Mysaria, Sandor and Sansa (although not at the same time, sad face), Schrödinger's Nettles, and of course Daeron and this fucked up timeline!
Oh, and go see Steven if you think this episode was filler. Spoiler: it wasn't.
