I write about TV shows like House Of The Dragon, The Witcher, The Rings Of Power, Stranger Things, Yellowjackets, Severance and many others. I also cover movies, video games, comic books and novels, largely in the fantasy, science-fiction, horror and superhero genres.

would have made a really amazing penultimate entry to Season 2. Imagine that ending, knowing that one week from nowThink about all the things that were set up, all the little pieces poised and ready, all the matchsticks drawn, hovering over the tinder:

We get a montage of the three new dragonriders—Ulf, Hugh and Addam—as they’re armored up and prepared to fly. Gorgeous, dramatic music plays over this scene as we see also Alicent leaving Dragonstone, Aegon leaving King’s Landing, Otto Hightower apparently locked up somewhere, armies of Starks, Lannisters and Hightowers all on the march, and Rhaena finally coming face to face with the wild dragon, Sheepstealer. Again, this is edge-of-your-seat, I can’t wait to see next week kind of stuff.

Clearly, this season needed to be 10 episodes and HBO cut that short and that’s a huge shame, because as great as this episode was, it was not a great season finale. It sets up a huge cliffhanger and then leaves us to wait. And wait.. In it, writer Alison Herman speculates that viewers may find the finale anticlimactic since it didn’t end with any sort of big battle or deaths or anything of that nature.

Helaena is one of the few genuinely good characters on this show. Too good, one might say. When he threatens her she asks if he’ll burn her like he did Aegon. Then she gives him prophecy: Aegon will be king again and sit a wooden throne. Aemond, however, will die. He will fly through the God’s Eye and never be seen again. . Furious, Aemond leaves.

Of course, Strong may have done more than just amuse us. When he spies on Daemon and the faithless Ser Alfred Broome, he hears Broome telling Daemon that the realm needs a king, not a queen. Strong sends a raven to Dragonstone, prompting Rhaenyra and Addam to fly on Syrax and Seasmoke and her presence there, methinks, tips the scales for Daemon.
