The The Oh, Oh, Oh, So, Oh, uh, I'm a lot. A crown hits the floor at the start and another one hits the floor at the end and a bunch of bodies at the floor along with it and not all the bodies are people

That's right

This war arguably started before this episode, if not well before, but this is the first time that the dragons danced.

The Red Dragon and the Gold, this one is called, it's a bit of a play on the blacks and the greens that represent their factions.

You know, the greens are represented by a green dragon.

Wegar is the biggest one. The blacks don't have a big black dragon though.

So yeah, just, yeah, what are you going to do? What are you going to do? It just doesn't always line up as well.

This episode is interesting because for many reasons but before it aired we thought it was called a dance of dragons

For some reason that title was released and posted on IMDb. We've been going the whole season, expecting that.

Whatever, this is not the actual title, but it certainly does describe it because the dragons did dance and it's a

dance of dragons not the dance of dragons because there's quite a bit of

dancing left and as spectacular as episode 4 of season 2 is boy they set the bar high for future

dragon dancing it's already one of the most production intensive dragon scenes of all time in any media, right? So just let that sit with you as you're

considering the episode. It isn't just a feat, a big moment of the story a huge pivotal change the moment when the action starts the

dragons finally get in the war but it's also a pretty watermark moment in

television right but sticking to the story for now and continuing

with my intro spiel, leadership is a big theme today. The lack of direction in the Black

Council and the Riverlands is a major plot thread,

while a crisis of leadership impacts the Greens as well.

Aemond and Cole have a plan, but their goals aren't perfectly aligned, not to mention their view of King

Egon, which maybe is more in alignment.

They want to keep him out of it.
