Hot, hot! It’s time to step on the accelerator and watch the conflict erupt, now that the sides have become stronger. House of the Dragon 2×07 written by David Hancock and directed by Persistence of Loni It hits Max like a punch on the table, making it clear what fiction is capable of when it puts all its eggs in one basket.

Epic ending in sight
The differential element of The house of the dragon regarding Game of Thrones It is the amount of time that the dragons spend on screen and the scale at which they are shown, in a photorealistic way. This seventh episode is the one in which we have been able to enjoy them the most (with the permission of the fourth, in which we witness an unprecedented aerial battle).
On the other hand, things are finally moving in Harrenhall: There is a new concession to Daemon’s visions, but the character of Oscar Tully, masterfully played by the young Archie Barnes, comes to put him in his place and force him to take responsibility for his actions.
Yes, the conflict of the Blackwood and the Bracken It has been left in the background (every skirmish has been hidden from us), showing only its consequences, but now the importance of what happened has become clear and how it will affect Daemon’s relations with the riverside dwellers and therefore, the damage that this can do to the main focus of the conflict.
The foundations have now been set for who will enter the fray in next week’s final episode, and there is much more in the air than just the prize of who will wear the crown: deep-rooted feuds, overwhelming misunderstandings, irreparable betrayals, legitimacy in doubt and a good handful of dragons who will fight tooth and nail. Expectations are rising.
