House of Fire & Blood – Episode 43 “Defenestration Cole”

Share This Post

This entry is part 43 of 62 in the series House of Fire & Blood

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 with a The Dying of the Dragons: The Blacks and the Greens Part 1. When an unfortunate servant notices that Viserys is RIP, the Green council gathers to discuss very real and legitimate laws that exist and happen to support their position! And Alicent ignores the leopards preparing to eat her face.
