He is coming into his own in a role that is one of the more ambiguous across the Thrones canon. “The lords of the realm gather like vultures to a carcass hoping to feast on my bones,” she despairs.īut this episode is really all about Considine’s troubled king. The question of her impending marriage, however, won’t go away. Predictably then, she is in no mood to entertain the advances of one Jason Lannister (“I’d do anything for my Queen,” he tells her, “or lady wife…”) preferring to continue her flirtation with low-born swordsman Daario Naharis – sorry, I mean, Ser Criston Cole – with whom she ends up spending a firelit evening in the woods. The King’s daughter and (current) heir, Rhaenyra (Milly Alcock), is still sulking about her dad hooking up with her best friend – and while Alicent gamely labours on through her second pregnancy, Rhaenyra regresses into a sullen teenager. More pressing is to head out on a hunting (and drinking) trip to celebrate the little Prince. “Were he to intervene now after so long it would make the crown appear weak.” And so Viserys, for now, sets aside fraternal obligations, leaving his brother to his fate as crustacean chow. “Daemon and the Sea Snake started their war without his grace’s leave,” counsels Rhys Ifans’ Otto Hightower. The fact that the crabs are getting fat on the flesh of Westerosi soldiers is of little concern to the King as he approaches the second name day of his infant son. Since we left them bartering over a backroom deal, Daemon and the Sea Snake have waged full-on war in the Stepstones against the so-called “Crab Feeder”, Craghas Drahar (a truly creepy, non-verbal performance from Daniel Scott-Smith). Now, Viserys ( Paddy Considine) and Alicent (Emily Carey) are happily married with a young son, Aegon, and another nipper on the way.

The week viewers have waited since that pact was struck between Daemon Targaryen ( Matt Smith) and Corlys Velaryon ( Steve Toussaint) has brought proceedings forward a full three years.
Well, the third episode of House of the Dragon– titled “Second of His Name” – goes one step further. It speaks to how much can change in just a few short days. There’s an old saying, often attributed to Harold Wilson, that “a week is a long time in politics”.
