That scene genuinely messed us up. Reservoir Dragons, that's what we're calling it. We were petrified for the dragons and the riders both, and really thought they were going to kill Syrax in that moment. What stuck with us most was Rhaenyra's instinct when things got scary being to protect…
Three seasons in and Steve has never once been off Team Rhaenyra. Team Black all the way! But when she grabbed Helaena's arm demanding a prophecy, Steve was like girl, get off her, she just wants chickens! The show has done such a good job slowly pushing you off Rhaenyra's…
Aemond doing shirtless sword practice. Then Alicent is there, and that the kiss, and the whole room loses it! And then the reveal: it's Alys. Oh thank god. Never mind. Somewhere Terrence Howard is loving this. We break down how our real-time reactions completely fell apart. Full episode of Streaming…
Sunfyre marching out through the trees like a dinosaur, missing half his face, while Aegon draws his sword. The design of the injured dragon is genuinely haunting, eyes almost melted into the back of his skull. Tom Glynn-Carney is great! What got us most was watching Aegon in real time…
Kit, Andy, and Steve are all back together for House of the Dragon season three, episode seven, the penultimate episode of the season! Andy makes his triumphant return after missing last week, and the crew wastes no time razzing him for it. This one has some of the tensest, most…
A modest proposal for the realm: Rhaenyra should bring in Alys Blackwood as Master of Too Long Didn't Read. Based on her resume she'd be great at it. The way she silenced Cole was chef's kiss. If she held the role officially, so many meetings would become emails, and Rhaenyra…
Gwayne quietly became one of our favorites this season. Ormund is a hypocrite, chastising Gwayne for wanting a feather bed when Gwayne has proven himself more capable in an actual fight. So when the stinky boys arrive and Ormund is too taken aback by the smell to read the danger,…
Corlys learns through pirate rumors that Tyland survived the Gullet, which the queen genuinely needs to know. But he and Rhaenyra are on the outs, so he makes Alyn carry the message instead. Ask her to circle yes or no! Our favorite kind of petty. Full episode of Streaming Things…
It's not the Butcher's Ball anymore. It's the Cole Cuts! Cole gets killed early and the whole thing is built around denial. He wants a heroic death and songs sung about him. Then the show shoots him down, no ceremony, while he's hoping Alicent will hear how cool he was.…
Kit and Steve are once again joined by Erica to continue their House of the Dragon season 3 coverage! Criston Cole finally catches up with his foes. Gwayne reunites with Ormund and Daeron at Tumbleton and immediately smells something fishy. Alys plays some mind games with Aemond. Alicent hatches another…
Daemon gave the Gold Cloaks his big Prince of Flea Bottom speech and the show made sure we saw the one guard who wasn't sold. Most of the crowd ate it up, but that one confused face was the funniest editing choice of the episode. Hear the full breakdown in…
This is the scene that made Season 3 feel like classic Game of Thrones again. Rhaenyra and Daemon switching to High Valyrian in a room full of potential enemies, a confused servant catching stray glares while lighting candles, and two actors emoting through constructed gibberish like it's Shakespeare. We also…
Tyland Lannister got the big hero return and our only reaction was wait, that guy? The man survived getting thrown in the water, mud wrestling for diplomacy, and the entire Essos experience, and the show wants us to cheer like it's the Hound coming back. We had a much funnier…
Larys Strong just delivered the most brutal speech of Season 3 and Aegon had it coming. After nonstop whinging about golden child Aemond, Aegon finally got the truth: terrible king, worse man. The question we couldn't settle is whether Larys meant every word or was strategically kicking Aegon out of…
Kit named Episode 5 his least favorite of the season and then spent the next minute explaining why it is still a really good episode. He loves what they are doing with Daemon and Rhaenyra, the Luthor Largent plot, Addam and Baela, Torrhen Manderly and Lady Frey. The disappointment comes…
Kit, Andy, and Steve continue the march for House of the Dragon season 3! Rhaenyra continues facing trouble at Kings Landing thanks to the fallout from the gold cloaks actions on the smallfolk, and some Ormund Hightower trickery. Criston Cole struggles in his campaign against the rivermen and the winter…
The saddle smack. The shush. Every dog owner knows this exact move. Caraxes is just a very large dog who wants to eat the neighbors, and now we all want to teach our dogs Valyrian. Lykiri! Full House of the Dragon Tumbleton recap on Streaming Things. #houseofthedragon, #hotd, #caraxes, #dragons,…
The Mummer's Dragon Award for best performance in Tumbleton goes to James Norton, hands down. He played reasonable so well that the temper tantrum genuinely shocked. Plus a very serious debate about what gelding actually removes. Full House of the Dragon Tumbleton recap on Streaming Things. #houseofthedragon, #hotd, #jamesnorton, #gameofthrones,…
Tumbleton is a trading town and Ormund knows an opportunity when he smells one. Essential oils, wax melts, a candle called House of Black and White, and a downline of soldiers. The war can wait. Full House of the Dragon Tumbleton recap on Streaming Things. #houseofthedragon, #hotd, #gameofthrones, #westeros, #shorts
Someone online called Daemon the most caring person in the show, which is insane. But he did love his brother, he loves his family in his own way, and he just doesn't know how to be a person. And the reason Rhaena got less of his love says everything. Full…

Cole is planning to fight as wraiths like he's in The Patriot, and honestly this is the best Criston we've seen in a long time. He grew up in poverty, Gwayne goes home to a feather bed, and from the smallfolk perspective every Targaryen sucks. So which side do you…
Relics of a dead regime. One line gave Kit chills for days, and a sneaky explanation for why the council balls never show up in Game of Thrones. Rhaenyra took away their toys. Full House of the Dragon Tumbleton recap on Streaming Things. #houseofthedragon, #hotd, #rhaenyra, #gameofthrones, #shorts
Aegon is a monster. His whole family agrees. But his bond with Sunfyre might be the one pure thing he has, and that dragon pit boop was maybe his only genuine smile ever. Full House of the Dragon Tumbleton recap on Streaming Things. #houseofthedragon, #hotd, #sunfyre, #aegon, #shorts
