The second season of House of the Dragon is here, and we've been talking all about it here on WinterIsComing.net, as well as a few other things. But we're gonna start and end with those dragons:

The season 2 premiere, "A Son for a Son," depicted a big event from George R.R. Martin's book Fire & Blood: the Blood and Cheese incident. But it was pretty different from how it was in the book:

The premiere has gone over decently, but some fans have problems with the climactic Blood and Cheese scene:

The Boys are back in town! And the discourse around the new season has been fascinating:
The Boys was always anti-authoritarian and anti-Trump, but some conservative fans are only now seeing it: https://t.co/gTFSYYUVdM https://t.co/gTFSYYUVdM

The other big genre show on right now is Star Wars: The Acolyte, which has become a flashpoint in the online culture wars:
