“House of the Dragon” is back and back with a vengeance in Season 2. After nearly two years away, the “Game of Thrones” prequel returned with one of the most hyped – and dreaded – moments from the book rounding out the episode. The big Blood and Cheese confrontation had been top of mind for many fans since the show debuted and the results were as tough to watch as expected.
But that was far from the only thing that shocked viewers in the impactful premiere. Rhaenyra (Emm D’Arcy) still hasn’t come to terms with Luke’s death, Daemon (Matt Smith) is on the warpath, and House Stark is entering the picture in a bigger way.
