Warning: This review contains spoilers for House of the Dragon season 2 episode 5.
It all starts well.
The consequences of this turning point in theDance of the Dragonsare explored too through a series of stark images.

Whether it be Corlys almost falling over or Rhaenyra looking out at Dragonstone, its all very evocative.
The narrative thread about the frustrations of Kings Landing residents doesnt quite fit into the episode either.
Ghost story
The standout storyline remains Daemon.

Interesting too is the King consorts uneasiness with his position.
It will be fascinating to watch that antagonistic dynamic continue to develop.
Lets just hope these remaining outings lean more towardBlood and Cheesethan war strategy bickering.

House of the Dragon season 2 is airing weekly on HBO and Sky.
