House of the Dragon S3E6 Review: Criston Cole’s Blaze of Glory Gets Kiboshed

from Thumb War · host Bleav + Rachel Selig & Jason Doyle

SPOILER ALERT Criston Cole wanted a blaze-of-glory death song. Instead, he got arrows and immediate irrelevance. This week on Thumb War, we’re breaking down House of the Dragon Season 3 Episode 6: Faceless Man or The Butcher’s Ball?, aka the episode Rachel correctly renames The Hubris and the Humbling. We get into the Butcher’s Ball, Black Aly shutting Criston Cole up, Alicent and Helaena being absolutely terrible at escaping, Rhaenyra trying royal customer service and hating every second of it, Daemon badly hiding his extremely white hair under a helmet, and the mysterious “Faceless Man” who may just be some guy. Plus: Rhaena’s missing Sheepstealer scene, Jeyne Arryn’s Moon Door hobby, Mysaria getting ruthless, Corlys and Alyn’s daddy issues, Aegon asking if he’s a bad man, Tyland joining the world’s funniest grave-digging trio, and Alice Rivers casually revealing five dragon eggs.
