House of the Dragon: Season 3, Episode 2, "Queen's Landing"

This week, Da7e and Neil are surrendering immediately as Rhaenyra finally makes her way to toward that big spikey chair on House of the Dragon.

In The Calm [04:40], they analyze the show's shaky relationship with the concept of honor, discuss this episode's original purpose as a season 2 finale, and throw their support behind the Emmy campaign for Emma D'Arcy.

Then in The Storm [01:06:04], they look ahead to what happens now that the Iron Throne has changed hands. And they engage in debate about Daeron, who still may be useful in the weeks to come.

Next week, House of the Dragon continues with a third episode that may also be more of a season premiere. Either way, there will be more polygons to discuss on Monday.
