Dragoncast: Home of House of the Dragon

Not exaclty a peaceful episode for us to gather our wits was it? Boy oh boy! No sooner were we mourning Jyave than we were dragged hair first into what Rhaneyra must think is the endgame! BUt... we know better, right folks? Jamie is riding solo this week - sprry about that, but he does come bearing gifts... three to be exact, in the shape of Clinton Liberty, Kieron Blew and Tom Bennet aka Allun, H...

Welcome back Dragoncasters! How much have you missed HOTD?! It's been a long few years that's for sure. Well, Dragoncast is back - but it's a little different this time round. To celebrate the launch of House of the Dragon Season 3, on top of our regular recap of an INSANE episode (what a battle!), we also speak top Abigail Thorn aka the swasbuckling, treacherous heathen that is Sharako Lohar!

In part one we get the brilliant Clinton Liberty aka Addum of Hull and part two sees Hugh Hammer himself Kieran Blew dropping by. Both a...

And just like that... it's all over! As Jamie says in this breakdown of the season 2 finale - It wasn't the episode he thought he wanted, but it was the one he needed. Jamie and a poorly Chris talk through visions, parentage, loose ends, frustrations and satifactions. Come now, it wouldn't be a Thrones finale without some fan outrgae now, would it?! DO NOT LISTEN UNTIL YOU'VE WATCHED SEASON 2 EPIS...

How is there only one episode left? This feels incredibly unfair. Thank goodness the HBO gods are spoiling us rotten though because HOLY SMOKES - You wanted Dragons? WELL 'ERE WE GO LADS LADS LADS!

There was something for everyone - including a sequence that will undoubtedly go down in the annuls of time as one of Thrones'...

APOLOGIES! So sorry we missed a week - forces beyond out control and all that - all will be explained!

"By all means stay and wait for his empty promises husband, with them you can feed the mouths of ghosts." WHAT A LINE! In an episode jam-packed with all the lines!

Whilst no flames were emitted from mouths, instead was an avalancje of character development, plot movement and stage setting for the final half of this epi...

Mystical flashbacks, leaky roofs, unexpected cameos, nun disguises and finally FINALLY a misunderstanding gets cleared up... kind of!   ERMAHGAAAAWD. We're in bits.

The prophecy baton passing? The cameos, the...

Mystical flashbacks, leaky roofs, unexpected cameos, nun disguises and finally FINALLY a misunderstanding gets cleared up... kind of!   Episode 3 was a dialogue-heavy smorgasbord of brilliance and Jamie and Chris, still flustered at the brothel scene, manage to hold things together for just long enough to get under the episode's skin., DO NOT LISTEN UNTIL YOU'VE WATCHED SEASON 2 EPISODE 3! SP...
