TCBtW #63 - The Black Queen
House of the Dragon has come a long way in its first season, and it's all been leading to this...the biggest civil war in sci-fi/fantasy on this side of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In this episode of , hosts Caleb Masters and Daniel Stull are re-joined by special returning guest host, Ben Friend, to discuss what the events of this episode and cliffhanger mean for team Rhaenyra AKA "the blacks," and the viewers. Following last week's "," which focused on the Hightowers AKA "the greens," in King's Landing, this week's episode shifts the focus to our other lead, Rhaenyra, from her base in Dragonstone. Rhaenys delivers the troubling news of both Visery's death and also Aegon II's being crowned king in her place. With Corlys "the sea snake" Velaryon making a surprise return from the brink of death to pledge support from Rhaenyra and Daemon counting dragons, it seems the Blacks are not out of the game despite lacking loyalty from many of the key lords of the seven kingdoms. The name of the game is "war," especially after Lucerys is murdered by Aemond's dragon in a chase the bards will sing about for generations to come. Does this episode provide an adequate cliffhanger to leave us wanting more for season 2? Today’s podcast topics include: Does this episode provide a satisfying close to the first season of House of the Dragon? The consequences of Aemond's actions on Houe Targaryen The crowning of Rhaenyra as queen on Dragonstone Daemon's obsession with war Do the Blacks have the support they need to wage a war? Corlys's unexpected return from the edge of death What do we expect to see next season This week's winner, loser, and wild card player , “The Black Queen” is described as: "While mourning a tragic loss, Rhaenyra tries to hold the realm together, and Daemon prepares for war."

Before his final day, King Viserys sees the division in the Targaryen house and makes one last attempt to bring the families together over dinner in hopes of making peace. Though a noble effort the resentment and bad blood run deep. Does Viserys's last stand have any hope of reshaping the wars to come? Today’s podcast topics include: Our overall reviews of "The Lord of the Tides" Whether or not Vaemond Velaryon's petition is warranted How Viserys's last hurrah of defending Rhaenyra's claim better positions Rhaenys and the Velaryons Prince Daemon's best quip yet What made the last family dinner so impactful What Alicent will do with the king's dying words Our predictions for what's to come in the iconic Game of Thrones episode 9 This week's winner, loser, and wildcard player , “The Lord of the Tides” is described as: "Six years later.
