Did House of the Dragon season 3 make subtle references to the show's feud with George R.R. Martin? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
House of the Dragon season 3 faced a challenge that previous seasons — and even Game of Thrones — never faced: heavy criticism from author George R.R. Martin himself. Martin was relatively diplomatic when HBO's Game of Thrones drastically altered the story from his books A Song of Ice and Fire, and he did not join in on the all-out dogpile over the series' rushed ending. That made it especially strange when he wrote a lengthy blog post condemning House of the Dragon season 2 in September of 2024
House of the Dragon's hero has a lot in common with A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms' villain (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A Song of Ice and Fire and Game of Thrones are famous for presenting morally gray characters rather than arch villains and noble heroes. The franchise certainly has characters that do more good than evil, and vice versa, but all believe their actions are justified in one way or another. House of the Dragon has captured that spirit well as it built up to this civil war, even if it did take a long time for Rhaenyra (Emma D'Arcy) to turn down a darker, more ruthless path. She certainly did so in th
House of the Dragon season 3 fumbled Corlys Velaryon (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Now that House of the Dragon season 3 is over, it's easier to see how each character arc was designed to work within the overarching storyline. The writers have a difficult task in adapting George R.R. Martin's "fictional history book" Fire & Blood, of which this season covered about 30 pages. Once again, they managed to make a relatively cohesive story, with detours for all the major characters that paralleled and intersected each other. However, the glaring exception seems to be Lord Corlys Ve
House of the Dragon writers explain why they added this major duel during the Battle of Tumbleton (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The writers of House of the Dragon changed a lot about the Battle at Tumbleton compared to George R.R. Martin's book Fire & Blood, but not without reason. In the latest episode of the behind-the-scenes docuseries The House That Dragons Built, covering the season 3 finale, writer Ti Mikkel explained why she and showrunner Ryan Condal decided to add a duel between Daemon Targaryen (Matt Smith) and Jon Roxton (Joplin Sibtain). As fans of A Song of Ice and Fire, the two couldn't resist this chance t
House of the Dragon star reacts to controversial Aemond episode 7 moment (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The haunted castle of Harrenhal is making Aemond Targaryen (Ewan Mitchell) let his guard down, but the cast of House of the Dragon is keeping things professional. In this week's episode "The Dragon in Winter," Aemond's visions and hallucinations bled into his burgeoning relationship with Alys Rivers (Gayle Rankin), as well as the actual arrival of his mother, Alicent Hightower (Olivia Cooke) at the keep. Their portion of the episode opened with a sex scene that was shocking to watch, but in a ne
