Summary
HBO's 'House of the Dragon' is FINALLY back for its third season! But at what cost? Ebube summons Afam and Soonen for a deep dive into a truly pyrrhic victory, dealt at the most pivotal naval battle the realm has ever known, and brace for the inevitable as they evaluate the legacy of Jacaerys Velaryon, as well as take stock of the confusion across the entire board. They discuss the audacity of Alicent's offer and the problems she faces now that her rug's been pulled (6:55), including her relationship with Aemond (12:10) and the schemes of the Hightowers as a whole (44:49). They also talk about the significance of mother-son relationships in the episode (30:28); the insanity of Rhaena's current situation in addition to its potential repercussions (7:45); and the true cost of the Battle of the Gullet (52:14), all before finally introducing Ebube's brand new device: the Adaptometer® (1:15:20). R.I.P to a real one yet again. You can support us here Also available on YouTube Host: Ebube Ubochi Guests: Afam and Soonen Production by: Ebube Ubochi
