House of Fire & Blood – Episode 12 “Boop the Snoot of the Long Boi in Scarlet”

Share This Post

This entry is part 12 of 55 in the series House of Fire & 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 2. Alyssa and Rogar leave the kids alone for five minutes and oh no! Jaehaerys married his sister! More importantly, Jonquil Darke is here.
