The Rogue Prince [House of the Dragon S1E2]

Discussion of House of the Dragon, Season 1, Episode 2: “The Rogue Prince” This might be the best hour of fantasy we’ve gotten in years. Join us (and Tristan!) for a winding discussion of this great episode of TV. We take a long look at King Viserys in particular, and try to determine if he’s dishonest, cowardly, or relatable – or all of the above. We analyze Rhaenyra as a predecessor/improvement on Dany. Cam compares HOTD and GOT through a Shakespearean framework. Tristan tries to see the best in Daemon. We debate the choice to reuse the theme music and parse the symbology of the visuals in the new title sequence. Finally, we bring you some new installments of Incest Watch and the Marble Mystery, and speculate about the imminent, ill-advised wedding.
