Is it us, or did tonight's HouseOfTheDragon give off a distinct Jan 6th-ish vibe? An in-house conspiracy threatens to stage a coup and install a new leader on the Iron Throne. Our recap of the season's thrilling penultimate episode.
en masse
And when the future Aegon II goes missing, the race is on between Otto and Alicent to recover him first, knowing that whoever finds the king-to-be can probably persuade him to follow their orders regarding Rhaenyra. But in the end, they’re beaten out by Cole and Aemond, who kidnap the future king away from Arryk and return him to Alicent. We then see how the Queen comes by her own intel: by allowing the mild-mannered mastermind Lord Larys “The Clubfoot” Strong to jerk off to her feet in exchange for his info and aid.
Writer Sara Hess and director Clare Kilner give the whole affair the vibe of a tense political thriller, as alliances are forged and broken and various players jockey for position in the new regime. Much of this is achieved through deft character work that helps shore up some of the show’s shakier decisions.
