'House of the Dragon' is certainly up and running. After two episodes of scintillating storytelling, the focus will now be on Episode 3 which airs the upcoming weekend. The ten-episode series that serves as the prequel to 'Game of Thrones' set the tone for what happens in the Targaryen rule in Westeros. The show centers on the Targaryens 200 years before the events of 'Game of Thrones,'  and shows the downfall of House Targaryen, dramatizing what led to their infamous downfall.

The second episode focuses on the aftermath of King Viserys I's (Paddy Considine) decision to name Princess Rhaenyraas his heir. The latter is keen to call the shots and prove a point when a situation comes up in the Stepstones, a pocket of islands south of Kings Landing where Pirates are seen to be hostile. While she interjects with a decision of choosing to fly with dragons to show what they are capable of, the council dismisses her. With this, it's fairly clear that Rhaenyra is already thinking along the lines of a queen, and not too really far from the way Daemon would react.
