Well… I’m not sure what we are getting into this Sunday at 9pm EST, but I know there is about to be Dragons and Fire. If you haven’t watched episode 7 yet, don’t read anything else that I am about to say. There have been some incredible episodes of Game of Thrones and even better episodes of House Of The Dragon. Aemond Targaryen riding in on Vhagar at the end of episode 7 and realizing he was outnumbered was up there with some of the best penultimate episodes we have seen. Not only are we in for a war to start episode 8, but I’m starting to get worried this is the end of Rhaenyra Targaryen. Like any other Game of Thrones or HOTD character we love, George R Martin finds a way to rip them away from us right when we are starting to connect with them.
Bold predictions for Episode 8. The dragon Sheepstealer that Rhaena Targaryen keeps trying to find is going to come up huge late in the episode. Right when Addam of Hull is down to his last move, Rhaena will swoop in and make a huge play for the good guys. Loudmouth Ulf the White finding a way to get Silverwing as his dragon after stumbling down into the cave was incredible. Hugh the Hammer is about to make a crazy play too! Hugh is taking over Vermithor (this scene was badass in episode 7) . I have a feeling we are staring at a Vermithor vs Vhagar matchup late in the 4th quarter this upcoming Sunday. Buckle your seatbelt and grab some popcorn (or pierogies if you are into that kind of thing. My mom makes the best pierogies).
