What is stronger, blood or a name? That big question hangs over the seventh episode of HOUSE OF THE DRAGON as all of the unresolved issues, trauma, and whispered machinations come to a head as the next generation starts to quite literally tear each other apart. King Viserys I is clearly on his last legs and his long-held desire to keep the realm and, more importantly, his family together is slipping away from him as the truth of everything can no longer be avoided. Securing legacies, strengthening

The battle has come… and darkness with it. How far can you go into the darkness until you lose the light? That is the central question at the center of the biggest episode yet of Rings of Power. Adar and Arondir lead their respective forces in a battle over the very future of the Southlands and both lean on Elven traditions and the defiance of death to do so. It’s a fine line between light and dark as Bronwyn and the villagers stand their ground, the Armies of Númenor ride to their aide to face not

Choices, choices, choices. Every person, every leader, every ruler, and every head of the pack has big decisions in front of them in this episode of Amazon Prime's LORD OF THE RINGS: RINGS OF POWER and all of it flows back into the critical question of What. Is. Good? How do you decide what is good? This is a journey through the world's light and darkness, and each path presents these choices. So from Elrond and Prince Durin.

Death, Duty, Legacy, and the question of who will you be remembered as hangs over the realm in HOUSE OF THE DRAGON's fifth episode WE LIGHT THE WAY. King Viserys I's failing health has him contemplating all of these big questions as he sets in motion a plan to wed his heir Rhaenrya to Laenor Velrayon and hopefully secure his line, his family, and the Targaryen dynasty.

Alicent is all alone with a King craving connection but turning away from the ones he has. And Otto Hightower makes a big powerplay. So much duty. So much desire!
