Dracarys! In the first episode of West of Westeros, Nick Romano and Lauren Morgan are joined by EW’s TV critic, Darren Franich, who names them heir to EW’s Game of Thrones podcasting kingdom. We check in on how we’re all feeling about the return to Westeros after the polarizing finale of Game of Thrones and then dig into the series premiere of House of the Dragon. In the first section, we stay free of book spoilers as we talk about what we liked and what we didn’t in the first episode. In the second section, we touch on how well the show adapts George R.R. Martin’s Fire and Blood and dig deeper into the show from a book reader perspective. Finally, we’re joined by Rhaenyra Targaryen herself, Milly Alcock, who talks to Nick Romano about portraying the Targaryen princess. Grab a glass of Arbor Gold and join us for a lively discussion featuring EW’s Small Council!
