Rhaenyra is ready for more dragons in the House of the Dragon Episode 206 trailer

As a dedicated gamer and avid fan of the “House of the Dragon,” I’ve been eagerly anticipating each new episode of this captivating series. Tonight, we were treated to another thrilling installment that left me on the edge of my seat. The political maneuverings, intrigue, and dragon-filled battles have kept me hooked since the premiere.


The fifth episode of House of the Dragon‘s second season aired tonight, and although it wasn’t filled with intense action like the previous one, it effectively laid the groundwork for the second half. Following the Battle at Rook’s Rest, both sides – the blacks and the greens – seem to have reached a stalemate. Rhaenyra remains without Daemon and faces resistance from her council, while Aegon lies near-death, leaving his advisors in a state of confusion. In an expected turn of events, Aemond is selected as the regent, which promises to bring chaos (I certainly hope so).

During tonight’s episode, Rhaenyra grapples with her role as queen throughout the show. Although she is certain of her right to the throne, she begins to question her abilities in the midst of war. She has no experience in combat and her advisors discourage her from leaving Dragonstone. Seeking guidance, she consults Mysaria. However, it isn’t until she meets with Jacaerys that a solution becomes clear: they require additional dragons as allies, which means recruiting more dragonriders.

The House of the Dragon 206 trailer gives us more of the same

If you’ve previously read “Fire & Blood,” the source material for “House of the Dragon,” you’re aware that we’re approaching the dragonseed storyline in Episode 6. However, it seems that Jace’s recruitment of the dragonseeds isn’t happening right away based on the trailer. Take a look at the video below to gain more insights:

At the conclusion of Episode 5, Rhaenyra and Jace come to the understanding that they must locate more dragon riders. However, they seem to have made little headway on this matter by Episode 6, as suggested by the trailer’s content. With Daemon absent at Dragonstone, the blacks require additional dragons in order to wage an effective war. This is evident from Rhaenyra’s solitary stance in the trailer, where she is seen brandishing a sword.

In another part of the sneak peek, Criston acknowledges that if Daemon manages to conquer the Riverlands, he won’t have a large enough army to confront him. With a strong sense of assurance, Aemond responds with the well-known phrase from earlier previews: “My uncle is a challenge I’m eager for if he has the courage to come against me.” Despite the Battle Above the Gods Eye being quite distant, it’s thrilling to witness the growing animosity between Aemond and Daemon. The anticipation is palpable!

In the sneak peek, Alicent challenges Aemond with a thought-provoking query: “Haven’t the humiliations of your past been paid back enough, my son?” This question arises as we ponder over Aemond’s remorse for slaying Lucerys, but what about his feelings towards Aegon? Does Aegon’s tormenting push Aemond to act solely out of revenge? It certainly appears so. Meanwhile, in King’s Landing, pandemonium erupts, forcing Alicent and Helaena to flee from the chaotic streets. Oh dear!

In the sneak peek for Episode 6, Rhaenyra summons a dragon towards the end, which could be either Seasmoke or Silverwing based on its appearance. However, Rhaenyra already possesses a dragon, as mentioned in their conversation in Episode 5. Their main concern is the scarcity of dragonriders. Although I’m excited for the continuation of the war, this preview leaves me feeling apprehensive due to the repetitive nature of the slow-paced episodes thus far in the season. I’m eager for more progression and less delay.

Regardless of what happens in Episode 6, I’ll be tuning in next week for new episodes of “House of the Dragon” season 2. Don’t miss out! Watch every Sunday night on HBO and Max. The season finale is coming up on August 4.
