WiC Weekly: June 30 - July 6, 2024
By Dan Selcke
Another week, another episode of House of the Dragon, and another rash of stories here at WinterIsComing breaking it all down. And of course, we touch on other things going on in the worlds of sci-fi, fantasy, movies, TV and books, but we've gotta start with the ongoing drama in Westeros:

The newest episode of House of the Dragon, "The Burning Mill," gave us a lot of things worth talking about, but Little Vhagar may have stolen the show:

Other than Aemond's nude scene, probably the biggest talking point from the latest episode of House of the Dragon was the clandestine meetup between Rhaenyra Targaryen and Alicent Hightower. Reactions were mixed:

Looking to peer ahead? We wrote up the life stories of every dragon to feature in both House of the Dragon and Game of Thrones. Most of them don't end well:
