The Westerosi Primer - A Song of Ice and Fire Podcast

In this episode, Liz discusses House of the Dragon 3x07 titled "Dragon in Winter." As the season has just one episode left, there's a lot more set up. Aemond has a mind trip just like his uncle Daemon the previous season. Alys Rivers weaves her web on him. Alicent apparently just does whatever Rhaenyra tells her and she has given up on most of her children. Helaena has some interesting dreams, but does it mean. We get a sort of resolution with Rhaena's storyline. Ormund continues his plots with an unexpected ally appearing at the very end. Check out the website to share your thoughts of this episode!

In this episode, Liz reviews House of the Dragon’s episode “Tumbleton.”

She notes it contains more significant plot movement and setup. She discusses Ormund Hightower’s unusual dynamic with Daeron and the show’s claim that Alicent gave up Daeron to be raised in Oldtown. She questions Ormund’s apparent push to elevate Daeron as a Hightower-backed king.

She covers Criston Cole and Gwayne arriving at Harrenhal searching for Aemond and Alys Rivers’ apparent scheming.

Liz finds Aegon’s travel storyline unexpectedly interesting as it exposes him to common life but doubts it will reform him. She critiques Daemon’s Sheepstealer-related plot and strongly dislikes the writing for Rhaena.
Finally, she summarizes Rhaenyra’s challenges in King’s Landing, Alicent’s scene, Helaena’s new pregnancy (not in the book), and hopes for upcoming battles including Tumbleton and possibly the Butcher’s Ball.
