Next Episode
House of the Dragon S2 E2: Rhaenyra the Cruel ft. Lo the Lynx
Everyone in this episode seems trapped. Lo the Lynx joins to explore how patriarchy and the gender binary are to blame and to share the perfect poem for the moment. Lo's scholarly analysis sheds light on the show's brilliant decision to lean into "Rhaenyra the Cruel" as a propaganda piece. We both love Aemond's mommy issues, Seasmoke's mysterious return, Ryyk bowl, and the catharsis in Rhaenyra's argument with Daemon.
