House of the Dragon Season-Premiere Recap: Rat Race
Well, it looks like peace won’t be an option, thanks to Daemon.
Between the first and final episodes of House of the Dragon season one, two decades pass, the years ticked off by discombobulating cast changes and the slow wearing out of Viserys’s mortal coil until the king drops dead (somehow still suddenly). It’s simple, retaliatory math that recalls Alicent’s season-one demand following Lucerys’s maiming of Aemond — “an eye for an eye.” But Rhaenys is tired from patrolling Blackwater Bay on dragonback, and she doesn’t answer to Daemon anyway. Rhaenyra’s call for vengeance sets off a sloppy sequence of events that sees one of the series’ most ethical characters (a low bar, to be sure) inadvertently responsible for one of the most evil and repugnant things I’ve seen on TV.
