Watchers on the Couch

It's the Season 3 finale, and the Battle of Tumbleton is a disaster for everyone involved — Ulf betrays both sides, Ormund gets a knife from behind in the behind, and Daemon loses his big duel. Meanwhile Aegon turns up alive at Harrenhal and Rhaenyra's spiral in King's Landing ends in tragedy. Tim and Mike close out the season, tally the final C*nt Count, and look ahead to the long wait for Season 4.

Criston Cole finally dies — and it's nothing like he wanted.

Rhaenyra finally has the Iron Throne, and it immediately starts falling apart. Tim and Mike break down House of the Dragon S3E3, "Rhaenyra Triumphant": the fake Daeron con at Tumbleton, an empty treasury, a furious High Septon, and Corlys getting royally screwed after everything he's sacrificed for her. Plus: Daemon's pitch to skip the politics and just conquer the world, the period scene the whole internet is debating, and a Princess Bride bit nobody saw coming.
