With all this talk about a time skip, you'd think we were watching science fiction instead of fantasy. Anyway, everyone is suddenly 10 years older and the split between Rhaenyra and Alicent has only widened. There are long takes, big swings, and a huge old dragon with perhaps the most touching moment in the whole episode. Plus there's a whole new meaning to the phrase "meet the beetles." Join us as Kate and Dan unpack this "mid-season premiere."

Note: Due to technical difficulties during recording, we are missing a few minutes in the middle of the show, and after the break, audio was pulled from backup recording devices, so you may notice a difference in quality.
