At long last, you High Heretics have put together their thoughts and feelings about the finale of House of the Dragon Season 2. But they are not alone. Joining them for the first time as a guest and potentially not the last because she might become the third member of the Silent Sisters, is Dr. Kavita Mudon Finn. A third member!? Yes! Blue_Lemons and LittleWolfBird have decided that adding a third person to the writing team - a Ghostwriter if you will - will probably help ease along the hardest part of podcasting. That is, scripting. But not to keep them fully in the shadows, our Ghostwriter will co-host whenever they want to. And so we're trialing Dr. Kavita and she us. So far it's off to a good start, learning new words like "Plantagenot" or how to defend fanfiction by invoking the Doctrine of Varient Texts.
We three Heretics dive into Alicent's arc this season and how her actions in the finale make sense. Dr. Kavita poses an addendum to the Maester's Conspiracy Theory and asks the big questions about the King's Guard while LittleWolfBird gets hung up on on travel times again. We dive into Helaena and her prophecies once again and whether or not Daemon recognized her as his niece...and that's about as in depth into Daemon's vision as we get. Rhaenyra's rise as a messaionic figure has been a long time coming and the events of this season continue to cement in her mind that she is making the right decisions, thus propelling her to do more and go bigger. What ever could that lead to?! And, as we seem to be want to do this season, we dive again into a discussion about Class Warfare and the dynamics between characters that will inevitibly lead to literal class war.
