Summary
Jason and Rosie break down House of the Dragon Season 3, Episode 4, and make the case that Ormund Hightower is a different kind of villain: a self-styled refined gentleman with a modern politician's instinct for crisis PR.. They also dig into what they see as the real flaw undermining Rhaenyra's reign: an inability to understand what ordinary people actually want, from her plan to scapegoat a Master of Coin to her blindness toward what's motivating Ulf and Hugh. Plus, a rotting Sunfyre as a symbol of collapsing Targaryen exceptionalism, and how this season's Harrenhal storyline diverges from George R.R. Martin's Fire & Blood.
