King Jimherys and Ser A.Ron are keepin’ it leal. Though Team Black is looking pretty cool, we’re trying to give Team Green a fair shake. Is GRRM fixing the universe's history? Could abdication have saved the realm? And did any of us really believe that Rhaenys was over not getting the crown?Want to represent Team HOTD?

House of the Dragon - S01E08 - The Lord of the Tides
This is the sizzle before the scorching fire. Is Viserys your favorite character now, too? Alicent is more dangerous than before. Rhaenyra and Daemon are already quite the pair. Having twins in the Kingsguard was clearly a play by Viserys to have his own campy 90s movie setup. And could someone write a concise guide to the names of these characters? Jim has had enough.

House of the Dragon - S01E07 - Driftmark
We knew you were going to ask about the five dragons, so A.Ron has the details for you. When true-born heirs seem to be in short supply, tensions rise and knives come out. How many bodies can you pile up in the ocean before they start to poke out? Global warming and rising waters could solve that problem. Would you trade an eye for your own dragon?

The feedbag is overflowing. Do you like the changes that the showrunners have made for the adaptation? Is Daemon pure chaos? How stinky is he? Apparently he reeks. Is Larys’ service leal? Did A.Ron and Jim misrepresent Alicent? Which party is confused about genes? Hear Jim and A.Ron discuss your questions and theories in this episode of feedback along with another installment of The Maester’s Corner!

Hello Emma D’Arcy and Olivia Cooke! Make the 10 year jump with us into a Red Keep where there is a new batch of royal kids aka war-fodder.

It’s different. Want to represent Team HOTD? Check out the new merch in the Bald Move store!Thoughts, questions, do you like dragons? Email in at hotd@baldmove.com.

The kids are not alright, not with parents like these. Join us as we welcome the new players in the cast and buy a ticket for the Queen Alicent hate-train. What’s up with the Targaryen genetics? How many hands and “hands” can Vicerys lose before we lose him? And will no one think of the children?!Want to represent Team HOTD?

House of the Dragon - S01E05 - We Light the Way - Feedback
Westeros Punnett squares might not actually be squares? Maybe more like circles because of the incest? What exactly is Daemon up to? We can’t be sure, and the show is doing that on purpose. Tensions run high when spurned lovers reach a breaking point and we get a Red-ish Wedding. Maybe an orange wedding? Explore these questions and more in this episode of feedback.
