House of the Dragon season 3 is officially underway and the first episode of the season certainly delivered upon the promise of an epic season opener!
The Battle of the Gullet was incredible and certainly secured a place among the best battles in the franchise. Of course, we could have done without the gut-wrenching ending of the episode, which saw our sweet Prince Jace and his dragon Vermax die in the battle.
Heading into episode 2, we’re not emotionally prepared for the fallout of Jace’s death and Rhaenyra’s reaction to learning about her son’s fate. We’re already prepared for Emma D’Arcy to break our hearts with their performance, and we’re eager to see how Rhaenyra will avenge Jace.
Episode 1 laid a lot of groundwork for what is to come and we're certain that episode 2 will be just as action-packed, even if there might not be a large-scale battle.
