Like Game of Thrones, prequel series House of the Dragon is as much a complex political drama as it is a fantasy epic. That’s especially clear in Episode 6 now that Rhaenyra (Emma D’arcy) and Alicent Hightower (Olivia Cooke) are all grown up and jousting for control of the kingdom. But the feud between these two goes beyond mere politics, it’s downright religious. And in the process, it could redefine one of the most iconic scenes in Game of Thrones history.
