This week, House of the Dragon is back and Da7e and Neil are soaring above the chaos in The Gullet as spectacle reigns supreme.

In The Calm [04:50], they discuss this episode's structure as both a climax for season 2's story and the beginning of season 3. They unpack the polygons and ethical wartime actions of the newest dragon, Sheepstealer. And they consider which of the newly-introduced characters will be the most interesting as the season goes on.

Then in The Storm [01:15:04], they attempt to sketch out the pacing of events in this eight episode season, identify the potential big set pieces, and make predictions based upon the "Weeks Ahead" trailer.

Next week, season 3 continues! Storm of Spoilers returns on Monday to cover the second episode with more calm, more storm, and undoubtedly a plethora of options for The Catelyn Stark Memorial Ironic Statement Award.
