Sam has grown a lot since we first met him, and he's going to continue developing as he enters a new arc: magical boarding school. We meet a new cast of characters with new kinds of magic before leaving off on a long, long cliffhanger.

We're back with UNLEASH THE D for season two of House of the Dragon.
Tune in for a very casual conversation with our friend Glidus on what to expect when you're expecting HOTD S2, what it's like to have brothers (idk), and spectacle in House of the Dragon - what does it take to adapt from pages of a history book to the screen, and just how does Ryan Condal do it? 
check out Glidus' interview with Raya Golden on Tuf Voyaging
Glidus plays both the good sport and an honorable girly gone canon in this episode. you can find him online at.....

House of the Dragon: Unleash the D S2E2 Ft. Glidus

We're back with UNLEASH THE D for season two of House of the Dragon.
Tune in for a very casual unserious episode with a twist: this episode is BOOK SPOILER FREE (mostly), and will be the ONLY episode we post during the season that is book spoiler free. Chika comes along for the ride to tell us her opinions on that Dragon Show as someone who has not read the books.
Chika shares her initial impressions on season one with us and reveals her alliances.

House of the Dragon: Unleash the D S2E1 Ft. Chika of Shoujo Sundae

Here in the House of Canon, we're hard at work preparing the HOTD primer series that critics are calling "UNABASHEDLY GREAT" (Unleash the D S2) as well as getting ready for HOUSE OF THE DRAGON S2.
No episode today - instead, enjoy a reveal of our first three UNLEASH THE D guests, as well as when you can look forward to hearing the episodes hit your streams.
Buckle up - it's going to be a crazy (dragon) ride.

Top regrets of my life: Not splitting these Jon chapters to make more than two episodes, because WOW. What a ride. Griff decided to add an extra syllable to make himself a "griffin," once more. That's right, Jon Connington is back, and he's taking prisoners (it's his family). Welcome home, how's it feel to be back, strolling down memory lane? Well, Jon Con's got thoughts on that.Check us out on Bluesky! https://bsky.app/profile/girlsgonecanon.bsky.social---Eliana's twitter: https://twitter.com/arhythmetricEliana's reddit account: https://www.reddit.com/user/glass_table_girlEliana's blog: https://themanyfacedblog.wordpress.com/Chloe's twitter: https://twitter.com/liesandarborChloe's blog: liesandarborgold.comIntro by Anton Langhage
