‘House of the Dragon’ Episode 5: Is King Aegon Still Alive?
(Warning: Spoilers for Episode 5 of House of the Dragon ahead.)
Things in Westeros are spinning out of control. The Greens and the Blacks have officially declared dragon war, which no one is prepared for—but that’s not stopping anybody.
With Rhaenys (Eve Best) and her dragon dead, the Blacks have just lost two valuable assets, as well as one of the only things standing in the way of open warfare. King Aegon (Tom Glynn-Carney) isn’t quite dead from the encounter, but he’s nearly there, and the Green Council is about to make a huge mistake out of desperation (and, let’s face it, sexism). Both sides lost more than they gained at Rook’s Rest, and the fallout is going to be uglier than Aegon’s dragonfire burns.
