At first glance Ser Lorent barring the door on Rhaenyra's orders looks like a plot convenience. But it is actually one of the most thematically precise moments in the entire premiere. One of the core ideas running through all of House of the Dragon is that even well meaning men, through their own misogyny, will override the women they are sworn to protect because they assume they know better. Jace is not a villain. Ser Lorent is not an idiot. That is exactly the point. Catch the full episode of Streaming Things wherever you listen to podcasts.
