‘House of the Dragon’ Kicks Off Season 2 with a Gruesome Kill
Warning: This post contains spoilers for the House of the Dragon Season 2 premiere.
It’s been nearly two years since House of the Dragon flew onto HBO and introduced us to dozens of blonde characters with identical names, and now, it’s back with a fiery vengeance. But did anyone have “child murder” on their bingo cards for this episode? Oh—everyone did? Yeah, I guess, in a way, it was kind of predictable.
If you have any memory of the Game of Thrones prequel’s debut season, you might recall that in the penultimate episode, Aemond (the blonde guy with one eye played by Ewan Mitchell) accidentally killed one of the show’s few brunettes—the ousted queen Rhaenyra’s (Emma D’Arcy) second-born son Lucerys (Elliot Grihault). Well, technically, Vhagar, Aemond’s dragon was the one responsible, but something tells me that the distinction matters little to Rhaenyra.
