In Episode 4, titled “The Red Dragon and the Gold,” the net of tension that Westeros has existed under since King Viserys’ death has broken, and both sides now know there’s no way out, except through...

After watching The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring in theaters earlier this month, my girlfriend and I were yearning for more high-fantasy adventures. After browsing on Netflix for a while, we landed on Delicious in Dungeon, which had just wrapped its first season. About one week later, we had already binged all 24 episodes, and there’s no doubt that this unique anime about cooking and dungeon delving will be one of my top 10 shows of 2024.

Daemon’s Deadly Orders in House of the Dragon

It’s admittedly been a long time coming, but House of the Dragon is finally giving the people what they want. Season 2 has been slow to depict the Dance of Dragons, the civil war that divides the seven kingdoms and splits House Targaryen in two. And though its latest episode does treat us to a blistering battle at Rook’s Rest, it’s the quiet moments between characters that still pack a bigger punch.

Have you ever met someone who is wise beyond their age? Such people are often referred to as old souls. They understand life and the world better than many zodiac signs. A soul’s age doesn’t necessarily match a person’s actual age. Instead, it advances based on the life experiences someone has.

Aegon II Targaryen declares, "To war, then!" in House of the Dragon season 2, and war is what we get. The sophomore season of the Game of Thrones prequel has been incredibly fun to watch, and now that the Dance of the Dragons has begun, the momentum is only going to build as we get more battles and inevitably, many more deaths. Rhaenyra has confirmation that her father never changed his mind about her as his heir, and she's ready to defend her claim to the death. Those around her, who have been proposing attacks since the start of the season, feel that a battle is long overdue.

No, [SPOILER] doesn't die in House of the Dragon season 2 episode 4, but it's a close one

And that, folks, is the reason dragons don't fly to war easily. First it was King Jaehaerys Targaryen (Michael Carter) who sought to avert a bloodbath within the House of the Dragon by naming Viserys Targaryen (Paddy Considine) as his heir. The Conciliator's move brought peace to the realm, and the wise rule of his heir maintained that peace - until he died. Now, the show's latest episode showed exactly why many Targaryens, including Princess Rhaenys (Eve Best) who paid the ultimate price at the Battle of Rook's Rest, sought to prevent dragons fighting dragons.

The Aftermath of Rook's Rest Arrives in New 'House of the Dragon' Episode 5 Trailer

[Ed note: This story contains spoilers for House of the Dragon season 2 episode 4.]. The Dance of Dragons has just claimed the most influential Targaryen yet. And no, we’re not talking about Aegon (Tom Glynn-Carney) — we’re talking about Princess Rhaenys (Eve Best), who will be sorely missed following her harrowing, triumphant death in episode 4. A key player in Rhaenyra’s (Emma D’Arcy) council, Rhaenys went down with the same high level of grace, persistence, and morality she’s held steadfast through her time on House of the Dragon.

Rhaenys has always been one of House of the Dragon’s most important characters

This article contains spoilers for House of the Dragon season 2 episode 4. Now that we’re at the halfway point, House of the Dragon’s second season is heating up fast. Vhagar has once again proven that she’s the baddest dragon in the realm, taking Rhaenys (Eve Best) and her dragon Meleys down at Rook’s Rest. King Aegon II (Tom Glynn-Carney) is down for the count after taking Sunfyre into battle against literally everyone’s wishes. Daemon (Matt Smith) is still having a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad time in the haunted halls of Harrenhal. And if the trailer for episode 5 is any indication, things are only going to get more intense from here. Give it a watch above.
