House of the Dragon gave us quite an episode last night, and let me start by saying: IN THIS HOUSE, WE STAN DAEMON AND RHAENYRA TARGARYEN! Now that I’ve got that off my chest, let’s dive in.
The show saw its first significant time jump, taking us forward three years, and much has changed in the Targaryen household since we last saw them.
Chiefly, King Viserys is struggling with whether he made the right choice in naming his heir now that he has a son with Alicent Hightower. Rhaenyra, on the other hand, refuses to be a pawn in her father’s political games, rejecting a marriage proposal from a Lannister. Finally, the brutal war for the Stepstones rages on, with Daemon Targaryen and Corlys Velaryon desperately trying to catch the elusive Crabfeeder.
We’ve got a lot to unpack here, but when I say Twitter came through with some high-quality tweets, I mean it. Let’s take a look at 25 tweets that accurately expressed everyone’s emotions during that fantastic episode.
Don’t forget, if you missed our Twitter reaction round-up of last week’s episode, you can catch up on all the tweets here.
