House of the Dragon Season 3: The Rise and Fall of Rhaenyra?

🔥 The Dance of the Dragons is officially a BLOODBATH.

House of the Dragon Season 3 has come to an end, and Jim is joined by Derek from D&J’s Epic Quest to break down the entire season—with FULL SPOILERS and absolutely no protection from dragonfire.

Did Season 3 finally deliver the war we’ve been waiting for? Did it improve on Season 2? Who emerged as the season’s MVP? And at this point, is there actually anyone in Westeros we should WANT sitting on the Iron Throne?

🐉 In this episode, we dig into: • Rhaenyra’s increasingly dangerous belief in her own destiny • Daemon finally getting back to doing Daemon things • Aegon and Aemond—and which brother had the stronger season • Jace and Helaena’s devastating storylines • Alicent’s place in the war she helped create • The Battle of the Gullet and Tumbleton • Ulf, Hugh, the dragonseeds, and the wisdom—or insanity—of handing random people dragons • The best performances and biggest surprises of Season 3 • Team Black vs. Team Green: is EITHER side still worth rooting for? • How Season 3 compares with the first two seasons • Our hopes—and fears—for the final season

⚠️ SPOILER WARNING: We discuss the entirety of House of the Dragon Season 3. Finish the season before watching!

Then join the conversation in the comments: What did YOU think of Season 3? Who was your MVP? Team Black, Team Green...or Team Everybody-Here-Is-Terrible? And what score would you give the season out of 10?
