After a brief break for the holiday, the Small Council returns with another House of the Dragon character deep dive, examining the character's arc in the show and comparing it with events in the books. This episode is about Viserys Targaryen.

First, we start with some lore about Aegon the Conqueror's legendary Valyrian steel sword Blackfyre. Then, the primary discussion about Viserys! Which changes from the books did you like and which did you dislike? Which of Viserys' choices this season did you disagree with? Which character from the House of the Dragon/Game of Thrones universe would have done better in Viserys' position? Then as always the Council closes by saying goodbye to another character that bit the dust, Viserys' father Baelon the Brave.

Trivia: What big energy does Blackfyre give off? Send us your answers via email or social media. Every correct answer earns you a Maester's link. Earn five links and we will enter you in a random drawing for fun prizes, like a hand-sewn Targaryen bookmark!
