House of Fire & Blood – Episode 14 “Four Heads Has the Polycule”

Share This Post

This entry is part 14 of 46 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, Gretchen and Caroline continue their analysis of Fire & Blood with the seventh chapter, A Surfeit of Rulers Section 2. George R.R. Martin is definitely NOT throwing shade at The Bad Show (TM) with his description of Coryanne Wylde’s sexual exploits, while everyone’s favorite girl Rhaena definitely doesn’t have some thematically-significant new dragon’s eggs in her possession… Featuring special guest, Caroline’s brother’s dog Stitch.
