House of Fire & Blood – Episode 11 “Say “Yes” to the Targaryen King’s Widow”

Share This Post

This entry is part 9 of 12 in the series House of Fire and Blood

This piece was written during the 2023 WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. Without the labor of the writers and actors currently on strike, the TV series being covered here wouldn’t exist.

What if George R. R. Martin’s Fire and Blood was written more like HBO’s House of the Dragon? Caroline and Gretchen analyze Martin’s work from this perspective and search for hidden stories in the text.

This week Caroline and Gretchen continue their analysis of Fire & Blood with the sixth chapter, The Year of Three Brides Part 1. Rhaena gets married to the beard – I mean love of her life in Fair Isle, while Alyssa marries Rogar Baratheon which is definitely, definitely his idea! Power is power in this stunning section of Fire & Blood.
