If Allison hadn't walked in with shocked Pikachu face and made Vernira feel real guilty about beheading her father, the answer is absolutely yes. I'm not 100% now.

I'm like 80% that she takes Sir Lawrence head for this.

Welcome to Hot Deep, Ball Moves,

officially unofficial podcast for House of the Dragon on HBO.

I'm Jim. I'm Jim.

I'm Aeron. And we're back for season three, episode two,

aka the season opener that never was. Uh,

Aaron, tell me why this couldn't have been a season opener.

Well, I'm asking to ask you this.

I think that what really should have happened was premiere episode was the penultimate episode last year.

And this episode was the finale episode because it, like you said, the first one, it felt like a Game of Throne season.

You've got that big dramatic finale.

And then you've got the kind of day new ma setting up the next season.

And, you know, I think that's also would be a really inflection point.

Reneer has just taking Kings Landing.

Allison's there standing in a pool of her father's blood and feeling things.

Like that's a good finale um yeah if

you want to go with the big like okay we did everything we want to do now get get strapped in for

next season yeah you could or you could cut it in half um if you want to do more of a cliffhanger

which i guess would have been okay with me.

Either way.

But what, I'm curious, what did you think of this episode as a non-book reader?
