House of the Dragon Season 1 Episode 5 Recap, ‘We Light the Way’

Game of Thrones is back with the prequel, “House of the Dragon.” Every week, Post Show Recaps provides immediate reactions, deep dive analysis, and absurd antics surrounding the return of the biggest franchise on HBO.

“House of the Dragon” centers on the Targaryan dynasty roughly 200 years before the events of “Game of Thrones.” It’s based on portions of George R.R. Martin’s 2018 novel “Fire & Blood.” Expect the show to live up to its predecessor and its very own name — with fire, blood, and dragons aplenty.

In this podcast, Josh Wigler (@roundhoward), Grace Leeder (@hifromgrace) and Ariel (@ThatOtherAriel) recap Season 1 Episode 5 of “House of the Dragon,” “We Light the Way.”
