Hello everybody and welcome back to another episode of NerdSoup, I am Bo Oliver, join

you today with Aaron the NerdSoup Monkey and we are back to review House of the Dragon

Episode 7 Driftmark.

Apologies for my voice, I am a little under the weather but this episode was like a nice

bowl of chicken noodle soup made me feel better for an hour and then I felt bad again but

I feel good now because we are talking about it and I love talking about this show.

Very tense episode, probably the most tense of the season and I think once again those

first five episodes really did a great job developing Renera and Allison so now seeing

them in this older age defending their children there's so much bad blood and so I think

that really contributes to a moment like this even though we haven't spent too much

time with the kids it's similar to Game of Thrones Episode 2 right you have that initial

spat between Sansa and Arya and Joffrey but because of the development they did between

Ned and Robert you feel so much tension between both sides the development between Renera

and Allison there's been so much history between them up until this point and even though

it's sort of teeters on a reality TV show at times I still think it was very effective.

I think everything leading up to that big moment was just done so well like the atmosphere

of the whole funeral scene I thought was pretty incredible yeah we know the history between

a lot of these characters and just how the awkwardness the silence and it wasn't something

where I mean obviously that there for a funeral somebody that people cared about and obviously

going to be sad but there was just something else looming over that all those interactions

and you can see some of the sides start to take shape between the greens and the black

so yeah it just it was just a sense that something bad was definitely gonna happen sooner
