We're so back

House of the Dragon Season 3 is here! Episode 1 features the Battle of the Gullet, and adapts roughly six pages of George RR Martin's Fire & Blood. GRRM has essentially disowned HOTD, saying that "This is not my story any longer," and it looks like he's got good reason to be upset. Rhaenyra and Alicent hardly resemble their book characterizations, Jace has been kneecapped in terms of his importance, Nettles has been merged with Rhaena, and more dragon accidents ensue. But the battle is visually stunning, so it's worth watching for production quality alone. And if not HBO's financial restraints, this episode would've made a much better 2x09 than a 3x01. Oh well.
