HOTD Season 3 Episode 3 Breakdown | Ruling Westeros Is Hard

Ruling a kingdom is harder than winning one.

This week on Take the Black, Daniel Roman and Marq Nettles dive deep into House of the Dragon Season 3 Episode 3, "Queen's Landing." We discuss why the episode has become the highest-rated in the series, Rhaenyra's return to King's Landing, Corlys' challenge to the queen, Daemon's bold plans, the introduction of Torrhen Manderly, the fake Daeron reveal, and why one of the least action-heavy episodes may also be one of the strongest.

We wrap things up with thoughts on Avatar: The Last Airbender Season 2, Silo Season 3, and the latest across fantasy, sci-fi, superheroes, and the worlds of George R.R. Martin.
