House Of The Dragon 3.08 Recap & Reaction: The Treasons At Tumbleton

Mary & Blake recap and react to House Of The Dragon Season 3 Episode 8, "The Treasons at Tumbleton." In this episode, we discuss whether the Season 3 finale actually feels like a finale, why Rhaenyra's turn works better than Daenerys' infamous turn in Game of Thrones, and how the show finally transforms prophecy from a responsibility into justification. We also get into why Aegon and Aemond's reunion may be the best scene of the episode, Ulf's hilariously messy betrayal, Helaena's death and tapestry, what Alys Rivers' backstory means for Aemond, why Ormund Hightower was too much fun to lose, and whether the Battle of Tumbleton gave us anything we haven't already seen from this universe. Plus: Mary mourns the loss of our only dreamer, Blake admits Rhaenyra kinda sucks now, Roddy the Ruin goes out exactly how Roddy the Ruin should, and we try to figure out whether House Of The Dragon is missing the one thing that made Game of Thrones feel truly special.
