The Tainted Throne: A House of Dragon's Descent into Madness The latest episode of House of the Dragon has left viewers reeling, but not in a good way.
The show's attempt to blend epic fantasy and historical drama has been marred by an overreliance on prophecies and a misguided approach to its female characters.
Rhaenyra's descent into madness is marked by her invocation of the "Prince That Was Promised" at the High Sept, despite having no logical reason to believe she's the chosen one.
