House of Fire & Blood – Episode 7 “Poly Pride Represent”

Share This Post

This entry is part 7 of 62 in the series House of Fire & Blood

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, continue their analysis of Fire & Blood with the third section of the fourth chapter, Sons of the Dragon. Aenys Targaryen dies of plot convenience and Maegor takes “three heads has the dragon” too literally by taking three wives, while the Faith stirs trouble and Rhaena has twins by her brother. This is fine 🙂
