In many ways, "House of the Dragon" is currently surpassing its predecessor, HBO's massive juggernaut series "Game of Thrones." Based on the way that "Game of Thrones" ended — disappointing fans to the point where they actually started a petition to redo the final season — this isn't, at this point, a difficult bar to clear. Based on George R.R. Martin's novella "Fire & Blood," the prequel and spin-off focuses on a bloody civil war waged amongst members of the Targaryen family, whose royal heritage is related to the fact that they, alone among the Westerosi houses, have the power to bond with and ride dragons. Coming into the show, fans were already familiar with the three miraculous dragons born to Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke) — Drogon, Rhaegal, and Viserion — seen on "Game of Thrones," but thanks to the fact that "House of the Dragon" is set 172 years before Daenerys' birth and during the heyday of dragons, there are plenty more to meet in this series.

Like Game of Thrones before it, HBO‘s House of the Dragon has never been a show that shied away from sex or nudity. We’ve seen men castrated, incestuous hookups on a dimly-lit beach, and Alicent Hightower (Olivia Cooke) and Ser Criston Cole (Fabien Frankel) go quickly from slapping to sex. Now, in House of the Dragon Season 2 Episode 3 “The Burning Mill”, we get to see a completely stripped down Aemond Targaryen (Ewan Mitchell)…and we mean completely.

In the Game of Thrones universe, “A Song of Ice and Fire” has myriad meanings. Yes, it’s the title of George R. R. Martin’s fantasy series — though it took on another name when HBO adapted it for the small screen. But within Game of Thrones and its Targaryen-centered prequel, House of the Dragon, “A Song of Ice and Fire” is also a long-standing prophecy, and the crux of House of the Dragon’s biggest misunderstanding.

'House of the Dragon' Season 2 Forgot About Aemond's Biggest Problem

House of the Dragon is kind of a misleading show title because HBO's Game of Thrones prequel series doesn't have just one dragon. It has a whole fleet of the flying creatures. While the series rewards viewers who can keep up with the many, many people at war with each other in the Seven Kingdoms, just as many probably find themselves asking "who is that again?" or running to Google to refresh their memory each episode.
