House of the Dragon season 2 is falling into a bit of a routine. Episode 6, as with several of the previous episodes, spends a great deal of its runtime bouncing between the council tables at King’s Landing and Dragonstone as the greens and the blacks try to secure an advantage. Meanwhile, Daemon is still having some intense visions at Harrenhal and the residents of King’s Landing are growing more discontent with their lot. Sounds familiar, right?
Yet, thanks to some intriguing character choices, the latest episode is probably the most adept yet at infusing these somewhat stale scenes with new intrigue. More dragons and great performances from the core cast help the matter too, as some tantalizing threads are set up for the final two episodes.
