It's the premiere day for House of the Dragon season 2! But before that happens, let's recap the week in sci-fi, fantasy, movies, books and TV, which will also coincidentally contain a lot of House of the Dragon stories:

In adjacent news, there's a new rumor about The Winds of Winter. Do we believe it? Not really, but we're willing to suck down any spare droplet of hope:

The second season of Star Wars: Andor will also be its last, and we have no doubt it's going to blow everyone out of the water:
