    House of the Dragon Season 3 Episode 3 - Queen with a K

    House of the Dragon proves the throne is easier to take than to keep — Chanel & Brandon recap the episode where Rhaenyra's reign starts to crack. 🐉 Welcome back to We Was Watching, the podcast where Chanel & Brandon break down the shows everyone's talking about. This week we're recapping House of the Dragon Season 3 Episode 3 — the HBO Max episode where Rhaenyra (Emma D'Arcy) learns that winning the Iron Throne and actually ruling from it are two very different things. We get into ALL of it: Rhaenyra's "monkey's paw" reign — an empty treasury, a septon who won't anoint her, a hand who feels betrayed, and a castle overrun with rats — plus the arrival of a dangerous new antagonist, Ormund Hightower, and his crafty scheme to send a fake Daeron to King's Landing under a false surrender. We break down what Ormund is really up to, his host taking Tumbleton, the young dragon Tessarion, and how this off-book twist stacks up against George R.R. Martin's Fire & Blood (including the Battle of the Honeywine and "Daeron the Daring"). Is Rhaenyra's position really as strong as it looks? Full spoiler-filled review and breakdown.

    House of the Dragon Season 3 Episode 2 - Emma D'Arcy's Emmy

    House of the Dragon Season 3 just flipped the entire war — Chanel & Brandon recap the episode where Rhaenyra finally sits the Iron Throne. 🐉 Welcome back to We Was Watching, the podcast where Chanel & Brandon break down the shows everyone's talking about. This week we're recapping House of the Dragon Season 3 Episode 2 — the HBO Max episode where the Dance of the Dragons takes its biggest turn yet as the Blacks seize King's Landing. We get into ALL of it: Rhaenyra (Emma D'Arcy) claiming the capital and the Iron Throne, Alicent surrendering the city, the shocking throne-room execution of Otto Hightower, Aemond getting stabbed at a nearly empty Harrenhal and meeting the scheming Alys Rivers, Aegon and Larys Strong's lucky escape toward Rook's Rest, and Rhaena's "monkey's paw" claim of Sheepstealer plus her trip to the Vale to beg Jeyne Arryn for asylum. We also break down how the show stacks up against George R.R. Martin's Fire & Blood. Is Rhaenyra actually unstoppable now? We run the dragon count, the omens, and what's coming next.
