We are now four weeks into season 2 of House of the Dragon and the writers have spent the last 3 episodes telling the audience that the creative team doesn’t even know what Fire and Blood is. Last week’s final scene was a pathetic attempt at character development and it failed miserably. I am really hoping that there is a major turn in the tide here with House of the Dragon season 2 episode 4 because otherwise I am going to rip my hair out. I am really hoping for a book accurate adaptation of literally anything at this point. This season has been so off the source material I am not even sure that they can bring it back.

Okay House of the Dragon season 2, episode 4 finally kicked things into gear a little bit. Well the war that we have been verbally told is coming for 3 episodes finally started. Aegon got his shit rocked as did his pittly little dragon Sunfyre and that was wildly satisfying. Rhaenys was badass and incredible and did a wonderful job of fighting off two dragons, love her to death. Aemond letting his brother get fucked up was a power move and honestly I love that for him. And Rhaenyra passing on the Targaryean prophecy to her son would make me happier if I didn’t know that they obviously both die. I am hoping that now that the battles have actually started that the back half of the season starts to move a little bit faster, I need less of Alicent and more of the actual relevant players in the dance.
