The Dance of the Dragons is getting darker — and Rhaenyra’s grip on King’s Landing may be slipping faster than anyone expected.

🔥🐉 Welcome back to OFF THE COUCH, my immediate spoiler reaction to House of the Dragon Season 3 Episode 5, “Unbowed and Unbent.”

In Episode #008 of The Flannel Wizard Podcast, I’m jumping straight from the couch to the microphone to talk about everything that just happened.

Criston Cole is marching toward what feels like certain doom. Ormund Hightower continues to prove just how dangerous he really is. Daeron’s importance keeps growing. Rhaenyra and Daemon are dealing with a kingdom that seems to be unraveling around them. And Alicent and Helaena make a desperate attempt to escape King’s Landing.

Then we get that absolutely brutal ending involving the Gold Cloaks…

Yeah. Things are getting BAD.
