House of the Dragon Scorecard: Double Trouble


So far this season is two for two on bungled murder plots.

Look, it’s not the biggest problem this little demon has on his hands (those would be in no particular order: grief over a dead son, an impending war he has no clue how to fight let alone win, loss of public support due to rash and stupid executions, a wife who hates him and a group of advisers who see him as a malleable chump, etc. Last week in this Scorecard, I said the following: “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.” If I were Halaena, and I were becoming increasingly miserable with my loveless royal marriage and its various obligations, I sure might keep “Caught the king’s mother riding the head of security like a devastatingly handsome steed on the night my son was murdered” tucked away in my pocket for a bit.
