House of the Dragon episode 2 — out now on HBO Max and Disney+ Hotstar — is titled “The Rogue Prince”. That clearly refers to Prince Daemon Targaryen (Matt Smith), who has announced himself as the rightful heir to the Iron Throne and camped out on Dragonstone, after being snubbed by his brother King Viserys (Paddy Considine) at the end of episode 1.

House of the Dragon — premiering August 21 on HBO Max, and August 22 on Disney+ Hotstar — is in an odd position. Through no fault of its own, a cloud hangs over the Game of Thrones prequel spin-off. The eighth and final season of Thrones left a bad taste in nearly everyone's mouth, owing to a series of odd and rushed creative decisions. At the same time, Thrones' massive success over the years — it was arguably the biggest TV show of the 2010s — is the reason House of the Dragon even exists. It would never get the chance,…

House of the Dragon — out next week on HBO Max and Disney+ Hotstar — serves as a precursor and the first spin-off to the critically-acclaimed Game of Thrones TV series.

Martin's "Fire and Blood" novel. Fret not, as he is joined by Thrones veteran Miguel Sapochnik, who directed some notable Game of Thrones episodes, including season six's "Battle of the…
