The Black Queen [House of the Dragon S1E10]

Discussion of House of the Dragon, Season 1, Episode 10: “The Black Queen”

Happy 200th episode to us! And to celebrate, HBO has kindly coordinated the season finale of House of the Dragon for this week. It’s our tenth episode, which also means it’s the tenth pilot episode. We walk through all the echoes and bookends with the series premiere – crownings, miscarriages, and a rogue Daemon. We debate Lucerys’ death and Aemond’s culpability (since most of our listeners think it was “an accident”). Finally, we try to figure out the exact moment in this episode where the show hit its stride and finally caught up with Game of Thrones. Maggie continues to champion incest, and someone other than Cam finally brings up Faustus.
