House of Fire & Blood – Episode 17 “Tripod Trickle-Down Economics”

Share This Post

This entry is part 17 of 47 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 are joined again by Musa <3 to continue their analysis of Fire & Blood with the eight chapter, A Time of Testing Part 2. Jaehaerys and Alysanne get married and this is GOOD, strictly GOOD to marry your 14-year-old sister. Everyone agrees Targs can do incest because they’re so special 🙂 oh and taxes!
