In Episode 127, Matt and Scad take a leap into the HBO series The House of the Dragon, covering its first episode: The Heirs of the Dragon. With Jaehaerys’ rule coming to an end, and the succession unclear, the assembled Lords of Westeros choose Viserys I to rule the 7 Kingdoms. But it isn’t long before Viserys has his own succession problems as he struggles to produce a male heir. With a child on the way for Queen Aemma though, hope springs and King’s Landing holds a tourney to celebrate. But things do not go as planned, and Viserys is left with an unruly council, a brutal brother, and a dutiful but overlooked daughter to contend with as the succession looms again. This is the first in what will be weekly episodes covering the new HBO series, The House of the Dragon. So it will be a busy few months for the Fingers. Check back here each Friday for a recap of the previous week and to get excited for the upcoming episode as well. This content can also be found on the Davos’ Fingers Youtube channel in video format.
