SER CRISTON COLE.

After everything this character has done throughout House of the Dragon… this is how his story ends.

🔥🐉 Welcome back to OFF THE COUCH, my immediate spoiler reaction to House of the Dragon Season 3 Episode 6, “Faceless Men.”

And we HAVE to start with the Butcher’s Ball.

Criston Cole’s campaign finally reaches its brutal conclusion, giving us one of the biggest deaths of Season 3 and one of the most anticipated moments from Fire & Blood.

Alicent and Helaena face the consequences of their attempted escape. Rhaenyra continues struggling to hold everything together in King’s Landing. Aemond’s story with Alys Rivers gets even more interesting. Ormund Hightower continues making moves. Corlys finds himself in serious trouble.

And we’re now heading toward the final two episodes of Season 3 with almost EVERYONE in a dangerous position.

The Dance of the Dragons is getting darker — and Rhaenyra’s grip on King’s Landing may be slipping faster than anyone expected.

🔥🐉 Welcome back to OFF THE COUCH, my immediate spoiler reaction to House of the Dragon Season 3 Episode 5, “Unbowed and Unbent.”

Criston Cole is marching toward what feels like certain doom. Ormund Hightower continues to prove just how dangerous he really is. Daeron’s importance keeps growing. Rhaenyra and Daemon are dealing with a kingdom that seems to be unraveling around them. And Alicent and Helaena make a desperate attempt to escape King’s Landing.

Ormund Hightower has entered the game — and I think we may have seriously underestimated him.

🔥🐉 Welcome back to OFF THE COUCH, my immediate spoiler reaction to House of the Dragon Season 3 Episode 4, “Tumbleton.”

In Episode #007 of The Flannel Wizard Podcast, I’m jumping straight from the couch to the microphone to talk about everything that just happened.

Ormund Hightower and the occupation of Tumbleton. The REAL Daeron Targaryen. Rhaenyra struggling to maintain control of King’s Landing. Ulf becoming increasingly frustrated, HOW DARE THEY FORBID A MAN FROM RETURNING TO HIS OLD DRINKING SPOT?! Aegon and Larys continuing their journey.

*** Apologies on this one*** I was scrolling, saw some spoilers, and kind of thought that the Daeron stuff was introduced last episode, I was doing these in batches and moving quick, too quick and got that mixed up *** Either way, the Daeron Targaryen stuff GOT ME ~ That's the POINT lol

Rhaenyra finally has the Iron Throne… so why does everything suddenly feel like it’s falling apart?

🔥🐉 It’s time for another OFF THE COUCH reaction as I break down House of the Dragon Season 3 Episode 3, “Rhaenyra Triumphant.”

In Episode #006 of The Flannel Wizard Podcast, I’m reacting to Rhaenyra's discovers that taking King’s Landing and actually ruling it are two VERY different things.

An empty treasury. A starving city. Problems with Corlys Velaryon. Hugh and Ulf. Daemon believing the war is practically won. Rhaenyra trying to win over the smallfolk. And then… Ormund Hightower makes his move.

There is a LOT to talk about.

⚠️ FULL SPOILERS for House of the Dragon Season 3 Episode 3!

👑 What do you think of Rhaenyra as Queen so far?

🔥 Is Ormund Hightower becoming one of the most dangerous players in the Dance?

Rhaenyra has taken King’s Landing. The Iron Throne has a new occupant. And the Dance of the Dragons just changed completely.

🔥🐉 Welcome back to OFF THE COUCH, my immediate spoiler reaction to House of the Dragon Season 3 Episode 2, “Queen’s Landing.”

In Episode #005 of The Flannel Wizard Podcast, I’m jumping off the couch immediately after watching to talk through everything that just happened — the aftermath of the Battle of the Gullet, Rhaenyra’s grief over Jace, Aemond’s moves at Harrenhal, the fall of King’s Landing, Otto Hightower, Alicent, Daemon, and Rhaenyra finally claiming the Iron Throne.
