Podcasts about Dragonstone

Of all the dreamers in Targaryen history, it's difficult to argue Daenys wasn't the most crucial. It was her vision of the Doom that brought their House to safety on Dragonstone ahead of the extinction that took all of Valyria and every other dragonlord family. This episode is devoted to what we know of her life, the era in which she lived, and of course - her prophecies.Bonus Eps & More -⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ www.patreon.com/historyofwesteros⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Shirts & Stickers -⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠historyofwesteros.threadless.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.historyofwesteros.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Intro/Maps - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://klaradox.de⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook Group -⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://bit.ly/howfb⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Discord -⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://bit.ly/howdiscord⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Nina - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠goodqueenaly.tumblr.com/⁠⁠⁠

Caroline and Gretchen continues their analysis with the chapter The Dying of the Dragons: Rhaenyra Triumphant, Part 5. Daemon is BAD because he has SEX with his wife's permission, and he definitely is sleeping with that brown girl with the brown dragon who is SO POOR. Did we mention she's brown? Meanwhile, two flying themes battle it out near Dragonstone. Yay!Sorry Caroline's audio was weird, new microphone, new problems. Join our Discord!

The very night Daenerys Targaryen was born one of the worst storms in living memory struck. This earned her the nickname Stormborn, a moniker that has spread far and wide alongside news of her deeds, one she has carried before her like a standard. We delve into the story behind the legend, and the details just before her birth - her mother Queen Rhaella's escape to Dragonstone before the Sack of King's Landing and her own escape alongside her brother just ahead of Stannis Baratheon.

In this week's episode, we continue with our November Writing Challenge, and discuss how outlining can be a helpful tool in writing your novel and building a writing habit. TRANSCRIPT 00:00:00 Introduction and Writing Updates Hello, everyone. Welcome to Episode 226 of The Pulp Writer Show. My name is Jonathan Moeller. Today is November the 8th, 2024 and today we are discussing Part 2 of our November Writing Challenge and that will mostly discuss the usefulness of making outlines. Before we get into that, we will have an update on my current writing projects and Question of the Week. We will also close out the episode with a preview of the upcoming audiobook Cloak of Spears, as narrated by Hollis McCarthy. First up, writing progress. The rough draft of Cloak of Illusion is done at about 96,000 words, and I'm about 25% of the way through the first editing pass. I also wrote a short story called Trick or Treat that will be a companion to the book. Newsletter subscribers will get a free ebook copy of that short story when Cloak of Illusion comes out, hopefully before the end of November. So now would be an excellent time to subscribe to my new release newsletter. After Cloak of Illusion is published, my next project will be Orc Hoard, the 4th book in the Rivah Half-Elven series, and I'm about 21,000 words into that. In audiobook news, as you may have already heard, Cloak of Spears is done. That will be narrated by Hollis McCarthy and it is working its way through processing right now. Shield of Conquest narrated by Brad Wills is also still working its way through processing on the various audiobook platforms. So you can get both audiobooks on my Payhip store right now if you don't want to wait. So that is where I met with my writing projects. 00:01:25 Question of the Week Now let's talk about Question of the Week. It's time for Question of the Week, designed to inspire interesting discussions of enjoyable topics. This week's question: what is your favorite book cover (like in terms of the artwork, the design, etcetera)? No wrong answers, obviously. We had a few answers this week. Justin says: For that, I go back to the guilty pleasures of my youth, a teenager on a Burroughs kick at the time, digging for paperbacks in a secondhand bookstore. Savage Pellucidar, cover by Frank Franzetta (the 1974 Ace edition reprint), which I still have stashed away. Franzetta was an incredible artist. I love his Sea Witch and Death Dealer, but we're talking about book covers here. Savage Pellucidar was the one for me. Mary says: Maps and Legends by Michael Chabon. Then, that cover was a work of art with three detachable bands. Surabhi says: Hard to choose one. I personally love those young adult “Book Tok” book covers: Shadow and Bone, Six of Crows, The Cruel Prince. I don't know. Something about such covers immediately sparks interest in me. Randy says he always liked the Heinlein juvenile covers. Gary S. says: This was difficult for me because I like hardcovers, but I like to take the jacket off while I read so it doesn't get torn. Consequently, I seldom look at the covers. Gary B says: Anne McCaffrey's The White Dragon. I've got a poster/artwork of it and pretty much anything by Michael Whelan. Becca says: Stoner by Tad Williams, pretty much tops my list of favorite covers, then maybe The Dragonstone by McKiernan. Catriona says: Terry Pratchett's The Colour of Magic. MG says: That's quite difficult to answer, but I have a Return of the King copy with this Alan Lee cover, going to have to go with this. For myself, I think I would go with a hardback edition of The Silmarillion from the late 1990s. I think it was published in ‘99. It was illustrated by Ted Nasmith and the cover image shows Maglor throwing the final Silmaril into the sea in despair for his deeds. If you know the context of that scene, it's an amazingly powerful cover. So that is it for Question of the Week and tune in again for next week's Question of the Week. 00:03:22 Main Topic of the Week Now it's time to our main topic for our second week of our November Writing Challenge. This week we're going to talk about building story structure and how outlining can help with this. If you haven't heard of my November Writing Challenge, the idea is that you write 300 words or a similarly small number every day in hopes of building up a small but sustainable writing habit. I was thinking of NaNoWriMo, where you write 1600 words a day in an effort to get to 50,000 words a month, is well and good for someone like me, where I essentially write a book every month unless something comes up. But for someone starting out, it can be a bit like the sort of crash diet where you lose 5 pounds in a month and then gain 10 back over the next two months as your habits snap back. That's because you didn't lose the weight through sustainable means, so that is the goal with the November writing challenge: to build the base of a sustainable writing habit. So let's talk about how story structure can help you do that. In last week's episode, I mentioned that making the outline of your story can help with the process of writing. In this week's episode, we're going to go into more detail about story structure and conflict. Knowing how these work in your stories is essential to building an outline. You will find that having a proper structure to your story makes it easier to write, in the same way that having a proper foundation for your house makes it easier to construct. We'll talk about what I call the five iron laws of storytelling and the importance of your story having conflict and at the end of the episode, we will get a quick update from my podcast transcriptionist, who is following along with the November Writing Challenge. We will see how that is working out for her so far. So first, why write an outline? I think the main value of writing an outline, especially for beginning writers, is that it forces you to think about the story in advance and forces you to work out any potential plot holes in advance, since it's very easy to find yourself writing yourself into a corner and not knowing how to proceed. Obviously, writing an outline is not for everyone, and some writers say it impairs their creativity and they can't write with an outline. And that's fine, if you know that about yourself. But if you're just starting out, you may not be experienced enough to realize that about your writing style, and you may in fact benefit quite a bit from having written an outline in advance. So with that in mind, what does an outline need? First thing you need to understand is the shape of the story. Who is the protagonist? What is the protagonist's goal? What is the conflict, and what will the protagonist have to do to resolve that conflict? You can, if you want, put in the number of chapters in the outline. The way I usually do it is I write a 2,000 word or so synopsis of the book, and then I chop it up into chapters, though lately my final drafts don't have the same number of chapters as the outline because as I go through, I'll think of things to improve or scenes to move around and so forth. You may find a similar experience when writing from an outline yourself. It is nothing to worry about and can happen. It's also important to keep in mind that the conflict does need to escalate, and you do need to have a strong central conflict. So what do I mean by having a protagonist with the conflict that escalates and he takes action to it? This is something I actually have talked about in this podcast quite a bit, and in my nonfiction book Storytelling: How to Write a Novel. I have something I (rather tongue in cheek) call the five iron laws of storytelling, where if you want to write a good, compelling story, you need to have these five rules you should follow. Now, this is not, you know, true at all times in all places. But I do think you will probably get good results by following these five rules. Now what are these five rules, the five iron laws of storytelling? #1: The protagonist must have a problem that results in a conflict. #2: The protagonist's problem and conflict must be consequential and have real stakes. #3 The protagonist must take action and struggle to resolve his or her conflict and problem. #4 The protagonist must face challenges and setbacks, and his or her efforts to resolve the problem may even backfire. #5, The ending must absolutely provide satisfactory emotional resolution to the problems raised in the story. That might be the most important one of all. Where outlining can help you with this is if you see the story laid out in an outline as in a chart in something like Plottr or something like that, you can look it over and see- do I have a protagonist who has a interesting problem? Is the problem consequential for the protagonist? Is the protagonist trying to resolve the conflict? Is the protagonist experiencing setbacks and challenges, and perhaps even unintended consequences as he or she tries to resolve the problem? And finally, is the resolution emotionally satisfying? It doesn't have to be a happy ending. It doesn't have to be a totally sad ending. It can be a bittersweet ending. But whatever the ending, it has to resolve the conflict of the story in an emotionally satisfactory manner. Anything else can be absolutely disastrous. So if you are writing an outline for your novel or story, and you follow these five iron laws of storytelling, then I think you are on good track to have a good, well written story with a conflict and a protagonist that readers will find enjoyable and interesting. It is important to have a good conflict in the story. You can jump back to Episode 222 of the podcast, in which we talked about story conflicts, which offered much valuable advice on introducing conflicts. Some of the key points of that episode are there are many different types of conflict the story can have. The word conflict by its very nature seems to pull up images of like, violent conflict. That's often the word we use to describe conflict, to describe violence as conflict, but it doesn't have to be a violent conflict at all. It can be, you know, certain types of legal thrillers. There's no violence at all. It can be, you know, conflict between a man and a woman who are romantically attracted to each other but are unable to resolve these feelings, which can, you know, that kind of conflict drives a significant portion of the entire publishing industry. Ideally, a story should have multiple conflicts and even different types of conflict. There are numerous ways to add conflict into a story. They include putting characters into an unfamiliar environment, forcing your characters into making decisions, and having different characters face the same conflict in different ways. For more details on that, you can check out Episode 222 of this podcast. For tips and tricks on introducing more conflicts into your novel, I would recommend Episode 110 of this podcast, Three Techniques for Starting Your Novel and Introducing Conflict. In Episode 110, I said that there are lots of fun and exciting ways to introduce the conflict. I say fun and exciting because this is often where the story starts getting quite energetic. In a fantasy novel, it might be when the hero's village is attacked by orcs. In a mystery story, it's when someone stumbles across a dead body. In a thriller novel, perhaps the hero finds that a sinister terror plot is already well underway. The conflict can also be introduced more sedately. In an action-themed book, it is easy to introduce the conflict via sudden violence, the attack of orcs, or a surprise murder. Other kinds of stories may not involve so much physical danger. The central conflict of most romance novels, for example, is whether or not in the heroine and the love interest will get together and whether or not they can overcome the assorted obstacles preventing them from having a relationship. Romance novels might introduce conflict by having the love interest antagonize the heroine in some way, which is a common trope. Perhaps the love interest is a lawyer who represents the heroine's business rival, or the heroine is a local law enforcement official and the love interest is an FBI agent who threatens to take over her case. Regardless of how the conflict is introduced, the most important part of the conflict is that it must compel the protagonist to take action. If the conflict or the antagonist isn't serious enough to force the protagonist to act, then nothing happens and you don't have a story, so that perhaps is the main take away from conflict. The conflict has to be emotionally significant for the protagonist, and the protagonist has to take action to resolve it, even if the action makes things worse or causes setbacks. If you have a passive protagonist, that will very quickly turn off quite a few readers. So to sum up, the advantage of outlining is that it lets you work through potential problems in advance, and what you want in the outline is a protagonist with an emotionally relatable problem, a protagonist who takes action to resolve the problem, and a resolution to the story that is emotionally satisfying in terms of the conflict being resolved. The five iron laws of storytelling are a good checklist to look over your outline and make sure that you have a good, solid story structure. You can use them in fact as a checklist to see whether you think your outline is going to work and whether or not you can write a, you know, satisfying novel off it. So now we come to the update from my transcriptionist. As I mentioned, she was doing our November Writing Challenge and as part of our series of shows on that, she will send in weekly updates with her progress. Here is how she did this past week. “My goal for the challenge is 300 words a day. I picked a number that felt really low to help with the problem I have of not starting something when the goal is too undefined or too big. I also tend to do something intensely or not at all, with most days tending to the latter when in real life or obstacles get in the way. 300 words a day felt like something I could commit to without any worry, provided nothing really major comes up this month. So far I'm averaging 484 words per day and it's taking me an average of 15 minutes per day. I picked a specific chapter from my outline that was not the introduction I've been stuck on and a specific time of day to write. Doing both has made the process easier. In that vein, my questions for you are: do you write chapters or any pieces of the story out of order, or do you stick to the outline order when writing? Do you recommend people try writing out of order if they feel stuck?” So those are both interesting questions. For the first one, do you write chapters or any pieces of the story out of order, or do you stick to outline order when writing? I almost always write in the order of my outline. What changes is that when editing, I will very often split chapters up and move them around because I tend to write long chapters. In the editing for Cloak of Illusion so far, one chapter was like 10,000 words and another was 7,000 words, both of which are too long to be chapters. So the 10,000 word chapter got split up into three smaller ones and rearranged. The 7,000 word one got split into two chapters and moved around. So to give a shorter answer to that question, the answer would be no. When writing I tend to stick to the outline, but during editing I do tend to move things around as I think works best for the story. But editing is a different topic entirely. The second question: do you recommend people try writing it out of order if they feel stuck? You can try that. The pros are if you feel stuck on a particular scene, you can go ahead and write a different scene and then come back to that scene later. Or maybe it will turn out that the reason you're stuck is because the story didn't need the scene. You know, I do know some people who do write from an outline, but then tend to write out of order. The downside of that is if you're not careful, you can get your story's internal continuity mixed up a bit, but then that is another problem to fix in editing once the rough draft is finished, since right now we're at the stage where you get all the words down on the page or the word processor and then worry about fixing them later. So that is it for this week. Thanks for listening to The Pulp Writer Show. I hope you found the show useful and that you are finding our November Writing Challenge series to be useful as well.

Send us a textCersei learns that Dragonstone has fallen but that Loras has paid with his life - or at least he lies at death's door. She delights in sharing this news with Margaery - who is stricken, but remains hopeful. Cersei dreams of her childhood run-in with Maggy the Frog and the details of the woman's terrifying prophecy. Simon and Mackelly probably should have seen this coming.Chapter Review:Queen Cersei Lannister learns from Aurane Waters that Dragonstone has fallen but that Loras led the assault to his doom. He was grievously wounded multiple times and lies unconscious beyond the skill of any maester to heal. Cersei is delighted. She carefully hides this as she shares the news with Margaery. The young queen is devastated, but latches on to the fact that Loras still lives and seems determined to seek to revive him.More non-Tyrion dwarf's heads are placed before her. The High Septon sends an emissary rather than himself to Cersei's annoyance. The faith is trying to shut down the brothels on the Street of Silk also to Cersei's, and every sailor's, annoyance. Grand Maester Pycelle reports that Lord Gyles Rosby seems to be dying. She dreams of her meeting with Maggy the Frog, the details of whose prophecy continue to come true (she did marry the king, she did become queen), which wouldn't be a problem but the prophecy turns a lot darker after that: she'll be replaced by a younger more beautiful queen, her three children will die, and the valonqar will choke the life from Cersei. She'd like to put a stop to that, and Qyburn thinks that she can.Characters/Places/Names/Events:Cersei Lannister - Mother to King Tommen, Queen Regent of the Seven Kingdoms.Aurane Waters - Grand Admiral, bastard of house Velaryon.King Tommen Baratheon - Child king of the Seven Kingdoms.Taena Merryweather - Social-climbing friend of Queen Cersei.Margaery Tyrell - Queen of the Seven Kingdoms.

Send us a textCersei learns of the attack on the Reach by the Iron Born and feels unmotivated to react. She gets a gift from Ser Loras, which leaves Cersei with a golden win-win opportunity. She has an unexpected drop-in by Falyse, whose husband has been killed by Bronn and also confessed Cersei's plot. Qyburn is given instructions that Falyse should never see the light of day again. Finally, she tries to take Taena roughly, as Robert once did with Cersei, but she can't get into it. Simon and Mackelly shudder at Falyse's fate.Chapter Review:Queen Cersei Lannister sits in the shadow of the Iron Throne, as Queen Margaery Tyrell implores Cersei to take immediate action against the Iron Born, who have taken the Shield Islands. Cersei thinks it's a plot by Stannis Baratheon to distract the Tyrell force from their siege at Storm's End. She suggests the Tyrells deal with their own issue with what resources they have available. When Dragonstone falls, the Redwyne fleet can then sail home and defend the Reach. Ser Loras Tyrell offers to lead an assault on Dragonstone, to expedite a resolution. Cersei can't believe her good luck. No matter the outcome of this assault, Cersei stands to come out a winner.Falyse Stokeworth comes back to King's Landing with bad news. Instead of stealthily assassinating Bronn, her husband challenged him to a joust. It went badly, and Ser Balman confessed to Cersei's part in the plot before Bronn dispatched him.

He is there to ask for help in the form of dragonglass so he can beat the White Walkers. In King's Landing, Euron Greyjoy pulls up to greet Cersei, to deliver Ellaria Sand and Tyene Sand.

Can you believe it's finale time?! The eighth and final episode of House of the Dragon is here, and Nat and Tom are ready to deep dive like a dragon off the cliffs of Dragonstone. Yeah, that's a metaphor that kind of works. Everyone had something going on in this episode: Rhaena's chasing a mangy feral; Tyland meets a gender-bending admiral; Aegon takes his bad leg (and sizzled wang) on the run; Aemond goes nuts; Helaena seems to be able to drop in on Daemon's dreams; and Rhaenyra and Alicent have a final epic confrontation. Thank you so much for listening to us this season; particularly as we navigate podcasting without the massive talent and presence of the one and only Stuart Layt.

Episode Index Intro: 0:07 Deadpool 3 Box Office: 10:05 Dragon Stuff Season 2: 17:03 House of the Dragon (Season 2) Season 2 Out of 10 Inconsistent Starts and Stops Darryl: 7/10 Brain: 6.78/10 Episode 6 Episode Title: “Smallfolk” Written by: Eileen Shim Directed by: Andrij Parekh Air Date: July 21, 2024 Summary: Jason Lannister leads his army to the Golden Tooth. Aemond refuses vassal Humfrey Lefford’s request to fly there and provide support. Aemond wants Tyland Lannister to ally with the Triarchy to break the Velaryon blockade. Aemond orders Criston to march on Harrenhal and dismisses Alicent from the Small Council. Ser Steffon Darklyn, a distant Targaryen descendant, attempts to claim Seasmoke and is incinerated. Daemon continues having disturbing dreams and irrationally believes he is being poisoned. Aemond orders Larys to summon Otto Hightower to court. Aegon, slowly recovering, tells Aemond he remembers nothing about the battle. Gwayne Hightower assures Alicent that her youngest son, Daeron, is kind, unlike his brothers. Corlys appoints his illegitimate son, Alyn of Hull, his flagship’s first mate. Meanwhile, Alyn’s brother, Addam, is pursued by Seasmoke. Mysaria’s spies spread rumors that the royals regularly feast while smallfolk starve. Mysaria sends food-laden Targaryen boats to King’s Landing. The grateful citizens fight over limited supplies, causing a riot that Alicent and Helaena barely survive. Mysaria tells Rhaenyra that her father sexually abused her and why she is loyal. They passionately kiss. Upon hearing Seasmoke has a new rider, Rhaenyra leaves on Syrax to confront them. Episode 7 Episode Title: “The Red Sowing” Written by: David Hancock Directed by: Loni Perstere Air Date: July 28, 2024 Summary: Rhaenyra confronts Addam of Hull, Seasmoke’s new rider, who pledges fealty to her. Dismayed at being removed from the Small Council, Alicent retreats to the Kingswood. Larys pushes Grand Maester Orwyle to accelerate Aegon’s recovery. While departing the Eyrie with the young princes, Rhaena leaves to find the wild dragon. Mysaria tells Rhaenyra to search for Targaryen dragonseeds (bastards with Valyrian blood) in King’s Landing as potential dragonriders. The new Lord Paramount, Oscar Tully, offers Daemon allegiance but denounces his nefarious behavior. He demands Daemon’s contrition and to mete out justice for allowing war atrocities; Daemon then executes Willem Blackwood for slaughtering the Brackens. Daemon has another vision of Viserys, who asks if he truly wants the crown and its burden. Jace confronts Rhaenyra, arguing that bastard dragonriders could challenge the Targaryens’ power and threaten the succession due to his illegitimate birth. At Rhaenyra’s command, Elinda and Alyn deliver the dragonseeds to Dragonstone, Hugh, and Ulf among them. Vermithor kills many dragonseeds until Hugh claims him; meanwhile, Ulf claims Silverwing and flies over King’s Landing. Aemond pursues him on Vhagar but nearing Dragonstone, he quickly retreats upon seeing Rhaenyra with Syrax, Vermithor, and Silverwing. Episode 8 Episode Title: “The Queen Who Ever Was” Written by: Sara Hess Directed by: Greeta Vasant Patel Air Date: August 4, 2024 Summary: Tyland Lannister allies with the Triarchy, but must first defeat Admiral Sharako Lohar in mud-wrestling; he wins, impressing her. Larys urges Aegon to exile themselves in Braavos where Harrenhal’s gold is stashed, then reclaim the throne following the war. After a long search, Rhaena finds the wild dragon. Gwayne challenges Criston, who regrets the war. A rage-fueled Aemond destroys Sharp Point with Vhagar. Rhaenyra, who hoped to have more dragonriders would deter conflict, declares war. Ulf’s boorish behavior angers Jace. Alyn rebuffs Corlys’s attempts at reconciliation. Rhaenyra and Addam fly to Harrenhal after Simon Strong sends a warning that Daemon may be traitorous. Alys leads Daemon to a weirwood tree where he foresees a future including a White Walker and Daenerys Targaryen; seeing himself as part of a larger story, he swears fealty to Rhaenyra. Helaena refuses Aemond’s demand to fly Dreamfyre into battle and foresees that he will die in the war. Alicent secretly travels to Dragonstone, offering to surrender King’s Landing to Rhaenyra in exchange for her and her family’s safety; Rhaenyra insists Aegon must die to ensure the transition. Otto is briefly seen captive in a cell. Westeros prepares for war. Infamous Shirts for Naked Bodies… You’ll feel “shirty” when you buy our gear from the Flying Pork Apparel Co.

What doth it do brethren? We are back in Westeros with a disappointing finale to say the least. While this wasn't necessarily a bad episode, the fact that they ended the season with more exposition and cliff hangers without an epic battle is unforgivable. We watched an entire lackluster second half of the season in hopes that the finale would bring us what we so craved only to watch 70 minutes of more plot. But don't worry, we have to wait TWO MORE YEARS for the third installment... Had this been episode 6? We wouldn't have so many issues. But the fact that we're watching Reina search for Sheepstealer for 15 separate scenes in the finale is absurd. Aemond throws a tantrum and burns Sharp Point to the ground. Meanwhile... All the pieces are set for the world to go to war. Daemon pledges fealty to Rhaenyra after finally finishing his vision quest in Harrenhall. Jace struggles with being one of multiple bastard dragon riders and questions his claim to the throne. Corlys attempts to build relationships with his remaining bastard sons Addam and Allyn. Larys gets Aegon out of dodge and Alicent makes one final play in an attempt to avoid bloodshed by going to visit Rhaenyra at Dragonstone... Again, this was an insult to Dragon fans worldwide to end the season like this. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We discuss the important scenes at Dragonstone and what is to lie ahead for the Dragon Queen and Team Black. What are you hoping to see in the season 2 finale? Let us know in the comment section.

Welcome to 'Flagons and Dragons', formerly known as 'Drunk on Dragons'. We talk about everything related to 'Game of Thrones', and for now, that means we're talking about season two of 'House of the Dragon'.On this episode, we're going to review and discuss SEASON 2 EPISODE 7 "The Red Sowing".

What doth it do thy Bros? In Part 1 of our 2 part episode. We return to Westeros and the season is finally starting to pick back up. While the last few episodes haven't been terrible, it has been a big lull in a short season and the Bros have some gripes. But, we are glad we get back to some much needed dragon action this week. After finding Addam of Hull to be the rider of Seasmoke, Rhaenyra realizes that those with any lineage to the Targaryens can in fact ride dragons. She calls on a rag tag group of bastards to see if any are worthy of riding the remaining dragons under Dragonstone. Not everyone loves this idea, particularly Jace because it calls into question his standing amongst the family. If those bastards can ride dragons as well then how is he any different? Alicent finds herself completely irrelevant and takes to the woods with Ser Rickard. And everybody is getting dragons... Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Corlys addresses Allyn and acknowledges that he is in fact his son, and has another interaction with Addam that once again points to him being his father. Larys stays in Aegon's ear to cement himself as a necessary tool for him. Hugh Hammer and Ulf are amongst the bastards that go to Dragonstone and come face to face with Vermithor and Silver Wing... After losing pretty much everyone else that decided to tempt fate to ride a dragon... Rhaenyra attempts to draw Aemond out of Kings Landing on Vhagar only for Aemond to realize that Rhaneyra has in fact put together an army of dragons. Yes, this season has some pitfalls. BUT! Overall we have really enjoyed it and we know the finale is going to end with an absolute banger. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

What's up Bros? In the conclusion of our episode, Aemond takes over as King while Aegon is recovering (if Aegon recovers). Alicent attempts to cope with losing all of her power on the council as pretty much everyone agrees that Aemond is the clear choice. Jace successfully enlists the Frey's at the Twins in exchange for Harrenhall. Meanwhile at Harrenhall, Daemon continues his spiral towards insanity as he tries to navigate his battle of who he is. Does he have a heart? Is he on team Rhaenyra? He makes it known that a potential plan is that he himself takes over the Iron Throne. Baela successfully enlists Corlys as Hand of The King which hopefully garners more support for Rhaenyra as she navigates her next moves. Hugh Hammer (the blacksmith) shows us the state of Kings Landing as Aemond orders the gate shut. And could we be seeing the set up for another member of the Targaryen bloodline...? House Blackwood successfully recruits the Brackens, or so we thought, until the Riverlords come to Daemon and inform him that the Blackwoods pillaged and plundered their lands under the Targaryen banner. Not exactly instilling hope that those two armies can come together. Jace returns to Dragonstone and he and Rhaenyra decide to search for distant relatives that also contain dragon blood to hopefully recruit more dragon riders to the cause...

What's up Brethren? We are back with episode 4 of House of The Dragon and we got full blown Dragon War. In this episode, Daemon is still on a vision quest to come to terms with the sins of his past. Namely those regarding young Rhaenyra, yet he still has no army at Harrenhall. Criston Cole continues to build the army for Team Green across the Crownlands while Alicent continues to spiral back in Kings Landing. Larys entrenches himself more and more into the Red Keep and happens upon Alicent drinking her Plan Tea... Rhaenyra returns to Dragon Stone as Criston Cole marches on Rooks Rest. Aemond humiliates Aegon in front of the small council as Aegon finds out that Cole and Aemond have hatched a plan without him knowing. Aegon flies into battle to prove that he's a big boy too...

Following King Aegon II's coronation and the death of Queen Rhaenyra's son, House Targaryen is divided in two. In King's Landing, Aegon II rules from the Iron Throne, supported by Alicent and the Green Council. From exile on Dragonstone, Queen Rhaenyra and her Black Council consider their next move. House Rivera has thoughts! AAWA, The Boys are up their ol' hi jinx yet again, lazering crotches, hatching plans and manipulating the media like it was going out of style (it ain't), meanwhile Charlie digs Point Break up out out of the sand to give us his PB2 elevator pitch!

What is up thy Bros? We are back in Westeros for episode 2 of House of The Dragon. This seems to center around the family aspect as well as the passing of the guard... We see the aftermath of the death of Jahearys and things are falling apart. Alicent and Helena take part in a funeral procession through Kings Landing to garner support for Aegon. Meanwhile, Rhaenyra and Daemon get into it after she learns of his part in the slaying of Jahearys resulting in Daemons departure from Dragonstone. Criston Cole and Alicent both struggle with guilt for boinking while Jahearys was being slain. To rectify this Criston... without asking the king, or the hand, or the council, or literally ANYONE of importance... sends Arryk to impersonate his twin brother Erryk at Dragonstone in order to assassinate Rhaenyra. Make sure you tune into part 2 of this episode to hear the conclusion and the epic TWIN FIGHT! Time Stamps: Intro: 0-7:00 HoTD: 7:00 Introducing BravBros Members!

Good Morrow Bros! It is a triumphant return to Westeros for season 2 of House of The Dragon and we are so excited to be recapping it with youse. We've been wanting to branch out into some other content (while obviously still covering our Bravo shows) but this is our first foray into something different! In episode 1 it is the aftermath of Aemond killing Luceryus and it seems as though war is inevitable. Rhaenyra is mourning and has yet to return to Dragonstone. In King's Landing, Aegon is settling in as King and attempting to bring his son Jahearys into the fold to learn how to be King... But not before Helena tells him that she is afraid of the rats... On team Hightower, it seems like there is some tension. Between Aegon being incapable, Aemond being unpredictable, Otto and Alicent attempt to get on the same page. Lord Larys continues to slink about the castle and dig up the dirt as well as 'rid the castle' of any of those still loyal to Rhaenyra. Upon finding the wing of Luceryus' dragon as well as his cloak, Rhaenyra gets closure and returns to Dragonstone to utter one sentence, 'I want Aemond Targaryen'. Daemon takes it upon himself to avenge the family and goes to King's Landing and employs Blood and Cheese, a knight of the city watch and a rat catcher. Although they were sent to kill Aemond, it seems as though another target falls in their sites. One with a lot more repercussions. At this point between Team Green and Team Black it seems as though war is inevitable and this may be the final straw. BUT WHAT A GREAT PREMIER THIS SHOW IS INCREDIBLE!

It's been half a year since the events of the first episode and shit is already getting wild. King Viserys names his new queen — and no one is happy about it...except for PLOtto.

Sam and the men vying for Lord Commander of the Night's Watch attend an audience with King Stannis. Stannis wants a Lord Commander chosen tonight.
