| Game of Thrones at the End of Ancient Greece - Desperation and Diplomacy (Part 7) | 19 Oct 2026 | 02:10:08 | |
Fire and blood consumes Greece as hopes of unity fade and the price of freedom rises. Arcadia tries to go it alone against all wisdom as Epaminondas heads north to free the imprisoned Pelopidas. His captor, the tyrant Alexander of Pherae brutally breaks the system to pay sellsword salaries, and his unlikely ally, the democratic Athens, shrugs at the slaughter. Several city-states deploy delegations in a race to win Artaxerxes’ favor - his massive wealth is still a game changer, but the Great Satraps Revolt of Nectanebo and Datames grows, threatening to undermine his influence.

| House of the Dragon: S3 - Episode 7 Review | 04 Aug 2026 | 03:17:05 | |
“The Dragon in Winter” is an episode that shows how power alters people. Whether that power comes gradually like Mysaria's rise, surprisingly like Helaena’s powers as a tool for Rhaenyra, or instantly like Sunfyre’s return to Aegon… Whether it is unwanted like Daeron’s crown or the ultimate temptation as presented to Ulf… it comes in many forms, and tends to burn all around it. Uncontrollable laughter is optional. Uncontrollable dragons are mandatory.

This one is called “Faceless Men” because so many people pretend to be who they are not… including the dead themselves. There is much to say about purpose, duty, a reason to fight on, or not.

As a number of intrigues play out, battle at Tumbleton seems to be looming, but conflict in the Riverlands must play out first. Daemon seeks killers operating in the shadows while Criston Cole seeks death in broad daylight. What’s next for Aemond now that he’s healthier, and how does Alys fit in? A Baratheon delegation appears to have emerged at last, and Hugh looks like he’s up to something. We break it all down and make predictions!

There is no trailer for episode 5, but instead another “in the weeks ahead” trailer. So we will focus on what’s to come in the 2nd half of the season!

| House of the Dragon: S3 - Episode 4 Review | 14 Jul 2026 | 03:10:17 | |
It’s a coming out party for Prince Daeron, because a Blue Queen needs a Green King. Rhaenyra channels Sun Tzu, trying to know her enemy, Lord Ormund. Daemon can’t seem to go to the Vale without murdering someone, spars with the new master of coin, and continues to do so with Mysaria. Aegon finds Sunfyre whom he believes must be alive, and Meleys, who definitely is not. Helaena bumps into a quickly growing situation.

After an episode focused on Rhaenyra, we’re sure to catch up with a lot of other characters and plotlines like Daemon, Criston & Gwayne, Alys & Aemond, Alicent & Helaena and of course Tumbleton. It’s time for a number of newer storylines to get moving, and we have a bunch of predictions, some based on what’s next in Fire & Blood!

| House of the Dragon: S3 - Episode 3 Review | 08 Jul 2026 | 02:40:19 | |
No Fire and Blood character had a POV chapter, but HBO’s Rhaenyra just did. Though she proclaims victory and aims for a brighter future, Rhaenyra is overwhelmed by problems of the moment and haunted by ghosts of the past. There’s an ominous soundtrack and a familiar theme presented as a double edged sword… Like Maester Aemon told Jon Snow and his brother Egg, to become a man you must kill the boy. It’s a metaphor for growing into a ruler, but for Rhaenyra it is also quite literal… and the boy is Alicent’s child. Until she discovers simultaneously that he’s not Daeron, and the war is not over.

| House of the Dragon: S3 - Episode 3 Preview | 04 Jul 2026 | 00:50:11 | |
After two huge first episodes, it looks like the focus will shift somewhat to the Red Keep, as most of the trailer seems to focus there as Queen Rhaenyra’s rule begins. It was a difficult time in the books and appears to be the case here. But there’s also an apparent parlay between Daemon and Lord Ormund! We predict a lot of plotlines will be established while others continue full steam ahead. Books, interviews, trailers and guesswork… no leaks!

| House of the Dragon: S3 - Episode 2 Review | 01 Jul 2026 | 02:27:47 | |
“Queen’s Landing” was meant to be the finale of season 2 and it really felt like it! We have a lot to say about the many parallels, the off-screen events and how Rhaenyra’s arc will shift massively, creating a cascade of new plots and conflicts. Aemond’s move might be just as huge, as he’s met one of the most interesting characters in the show just as he’s lost the throne. Rhaena and Aegon are on the run from their own kin, the Velaryons are scattered, but new armies are forming as fast as new ambitions.

It appears that King’s Landing is soon to be contested, but the aftermath of the Gullet is pressing as well. Aemond heads to Harrenhal while Aegon and Larys find themselves prisoners. Thanks to “The Weeks Ahead” trailer and those from before the season began, we have predictions for episode 2 and beyond.

| Game of Thrones at the End of Ancient Greece - Part 6 | 15 Jun 2026 | 02:14:47 | |
As the stakes rise, the game of thrones in Greece continues to get bloodier. Epaminondas aims to strike directly at Spartan power and Agesilaus, but faces political enemies back at home, while Pelopidas heads north to deal with chaos of the two Alexanders of Macedon and Pherae. Athens takes the opportunity to return to their old tricks. This one includes the Spartan assassin society, new cities, an escalation of the Persian Great Satraps Revolt for Artaxerxes to deal with, and the education of the most famous Philip of the ancient world.

We return to the action immediately following the Battle of Leuctra where Sparta reeled from unexpected defeat. Yet a new determination emerged in King Agesilaus - who reminded his countrymen that his nemesis hadn’t beaten *him*. Meanwhile Thebes, under Epaminondas and Pelopidas, was suddenly the spearpoint of a new Greece, what would they do with this windfall of power? This certainly disrupted the expectations and plans of the biggest players like Jason of Pherae and Great King Artaxerxes of Persia - both of whom simultaneously faced internal threats.

| The Last Dragon | 27 Apr 2026 | 02:12:14 | |
22 years after the Dance, the last living dragon in Westeros died. All the dragons hatched after the war were weak, spawning theories of poison by the maesters. Some believe they aimed to end the influence of magic, and there’s intriguing evidence of change in that regard. Others believe their goal was simply to end the influence of dragons… It could be both, but the Citadel is not the only culprit. An episode that spans characters from Marwyn the Mage to Ser Arlan of Pennytree.

| House Mallister: Above the Rest | 20 Apr 2026 | 02:05:10 | |
Thousands of years ago, Torgon the Latecomer was defeated and much of his Riverlands holdings were seized by House Mallister, who made themselves kings in turn. Ten years ago, Balon Greyjoy sent his eldest son Rodrik to attack those very lands, giving Lord Jason a chance to remind his ancient foes why the silver eagle of House Mallister has been the bane of the Ironborn since their founding. Though currently held in check by Black Walder, they have held most of their strength through the War of Five Kings and are poised to play a significant role in the downfall of House Frey and the remainder of ASOIAF.
