House of the Dragon Scorecard: Bad Plan, Worse Execution


As bad omens go, a ratcatcher kicking a dog is up there.

To be perfectly honest, Rhaenys could have walked into my apartment and kicked me right in the shin, and I still would have given her five points just for the thing where Daemon tries to order her to go on a dragon mission and she responds with the show’s version of “lmao no.” It’s usually pretty tough sledding for the female characters on this show, but, even with that low bar, “married to a wannabe tyrant and forced by assassins to point out which child to murder in front of her” is a lot. It is my strong suspicion that we are headed toward a sword fight between the two of them where I will have no clue which one is which, just a flurry of clanging steel and people shouting names that both sound like “Eric” until one of them kills the other and makes my life much easier going forward.
