Seven Episodes into Season Two, Cam has finally seen the matrix — and identified the reason why even this fantastic episode feels so different from Season One. This episode starts with a celebration of David Hancock’s fantastic writing, ranging from GRRM-level one-liners to characterizations so powerful that they feel like full reintroductions. From there, we discuss Rhaenyra’s deliciously slow turn to the dark side and Daemon’s ever-faster descent into madness. We start to close things out with a big ole chat about dragons: how many reptiles would it take to beat Vhagar in a fight? Do riders ever really have control over their dragons? And finally, we revisit Shakespeare to take another look at Alicent / Ophelia.
