In The Calm [05:00], they discuss the potential mistakes that Rhaenyra's new administration is making and consider whether Daemon has any good advice to offer. They also dig into the arrival of a smiling Manderly and complications between the Queen and The Faith.

Then in The Storm [54:32], a look at Tumbleton's place in the events to come and several predictions as to who may be raised up as Rhaenyra's Master of Coin.

This week, Da7e and Neil are surrendering immediately as Rhaenyra finally makes her way to toward that big spikey chair on House of the Dragon.

In The Calm [04:40], they analyze the show's shaky relationship with the concept of honor, discuss this episode's original purpose as a season 2 finale, and throw their support behind the Emmy campaign for Emma D'Arcy.

Then in The Storm [01:06:04], they look ahead to what happens now that the Iron Throne has changed hands. And they engage in debate about Daeron, who still may be useful in the weeks to come.

Next week, House of the Dragon continues with a third episode that may also be more of a season premiere. Either way, there will be more polygons to discuss on Monday.

This week, House of the Dragon is back and Da7e and Neil are soaring above the chaos in The Gullet as spectacle reigns supreme.

In The Calm [04:50], they discuss this episode's structure as both a climax for season 2's story and the beginning of season 3. They unpack the polygons and ethical wartime actions of the newest dragon, Sheepstealer. And they consider which of the newly-introduced characters will be the most interesting as the season goes on.

Then in The Storm [01:15:04], they attempt to sketch out the pacing of events in this eight episode season, identify the potential big set pieces, and make predictions based upon the "Weeks Ahead" trailer.

Next week, season 3 continues! Storm of Spoilers returns on Monday to cover the second episode with more calm, more storm, and undoubtedly a plethora of options for The Catelyn Stark Memorial Ironic Statement Award.
