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.

House of the Dragon: Who is Alys Rivers?

George R.R. Martin may recall the saga of the feuding Riverlands Houses of Blackwood and Bracken. They made a quick appearance in House of the Dragon season 1, and they are still feuding over a century later when Jaime Lannister tries to mediate a dispute between them in A Feast of Crows. These long-warring houses have lost all memory of what started the original conflict, so one sin simply begets another as members of each take retribution against the other for the smallest of disagreements. The war between Aegon II (Tom Glynn-Carney) and Rhaenyra (Emma D’Arcy) simply gives them another reason to quarrel as Ser Amos Bracken names Rhaenyra a babe killer and Ser Samwell Blackwood takes her side in defense.

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.
