About this episode

The episode discusses the challenges faced by Rhaenyra in her new role as Queen in House of the Dragon.

This week we're covering "Rhaenyra Triumphant," Episode 3 of Season 3 of HBO's HOUSE OF THE DRAGON. This season we are covering the Game of Thrones prequel series every week as the episodes premiere. This week we discuss the mounting problems in the newly governed Red Keep, lay out Rhaenyra's First 90 Days (which, despite all the poverty and dragon fire will still be less devastating to the small folk than Ronald Reagan's first 90), compare and contrast the different advice our new Queen is getting, and try to flip some houses in an up-and-coming town called Tumbleton.
