House of the Dragon Season 2 finale: Rhaenyra’s transformation into villain is underway.
SlateAfter each episode of House of the Dragon, Slate writers will gather to answer a crucial question: Who is the worst person in Westeros? Related From Slate A Radical Idea Changes Everything on House of the Dragon Sam Adams: I have to admit, I harbor some residual fondness for Tom Bennett going back to the film Love & Friendship, even though it took me quite a few episodes to realize that it was him playing Ulf, who is more than a bit of a “rattle.” And I like that the show is finally giving us a way to distinguish these characters, although it’s a bit late in the game. Martin character doing something surprising that is also good, he publicly pledges himself to Rhaenyra’s side, which, thanks to the addition of a few more dragons, suddenly looks quite a bit more formidable. She even comes close to admitting that this whole war thing started because she misread her husband’s dying words and seems willing to put it all behind them, giving Rhaenyra an opportunity to figuratively and literally seize the throne while Aemond is off torching civilians on Vhagar. If it still felt as if the Greens could win at this point, I don’t know if Alicent would have sneaked into Rhaenyra HQ for her half-assed sorry.
