Another week, another torrent of news and views about the worlds of sci-fi, fantasy, movies, books, TV, and House of the Dragon. We start, as always, in Westeros, picking apart the latest episode of HBO's Game of Thrones prequel series:

We have an extremely important question about the new episode we need answered as fast as humanly possible:
Is Aegon's dragon Sunfyre dead in House of the Dragon? https://t.co/EPBiWpMcs6 https://t.co/EPBiWpMcs6

Aegon's dragon's fate is uncertain. The king himself has a hard road ahead of him. What's in store for the brat lord of Westeros?

A couple of big shows wrapped up this week! What did we think of the finale to Star Wars: The Acolyte? Was it was bad as everyone's been saying? Is there any hope for a second season?

The Boys also wrapped up its fourth season this week, and the press was much kinder. There's only one season left of Amazon's subversive, gleefully vulgar superhero show:

Paramount has been the subject of a lot of rumors lately. I don't know exactly where this fits in, but they've canceled their expensive Halo series:

The second season of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power is almost here! One Wig to rule them all, One Wig to find them, One Wig to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them:
