This week, Dave, Neil, and Joanna discuss ‘House of the Dragon’ Episode 10, “The Black Queen.” They start by talking through their overall thoughts on the episode (3:18). Then, they answer some listener questions about dragons, characters' decisions in the episode, and if they should have combined episodes 9 and 10 (11:21). Later, they discuss this week’s poll: Who is the most villainous character in ‘House of the Dragon’ so far? (1:12:25) Finally, they head into The Storm, where they discuss—in book-spoiling detail—what's to come next season and beyond (1:29:43).
