It's a solid season finale. War is finally upon us. Now is the time for the Dance of the Dragons.

The momentum and sound strategy, for the most part, seems to be with Team Green. Will Team Black's Hail Mary be enough for them to recover?

The die has been cast. House Targaryen will burn. And the writers have set a splendid fire.

There's a fire in Rhaenyra's belly. Surely, the Greens will be burned by it.

The Greens have an alliance that would've put Vince McMahon to shame. But what do they accomplish in the end? Blacks' move.

With Viserys at the helm, the House of the Dragon has spiraled nearly out of control. Viserys can't get right.

Viewers are treated to a history lesson in the fall of the greatest house. And what a spectacular fall it will be.

The pacing for the show moves at an incredible speed. The writers are relentless. They don't let up. Good on them.

Viserys doesn't have eyes or a backbone. This viewer would wager both kings and dragons need those.

Viserys should've put Otto down. The fangs of a fallen viper still have venom. Can they kill a dragon or three?

It's graduation day in the school of Fire and Blood. Who makes the grade?

Someone should tell Otto to never bring a sword to a dragon fight.

Excellent first episode. May the House of the Dragon stand for a thousand years or at least for a few seasons
