We are now two episodes and two failed assassination attempts into the second season ofHouse of the Dragon.
Failed might be understating it a bit.
These were two of the most bungled murder plots youll ever see.
The first one involved hiring a ratcatcher who couldnt find his target and beheaded a toddler instead.
This one involves impulsive idiots sending a twin on a suicide mission where he poses as his brother.
Criston basically tries to kill Rhaenyra using the plot fromThe Parent Trap.
If this last sentence sounds like a terrible idea, its because it is.
RIP to the Cargylls.
War is approaching rapidly and everyone is falling apart.
At least the dog got justice.
Lets get into it.

Alicent is taking a lot of baths this season.
Not good baths, though.
These are not relaxing little soaks.
Those kinds of baths.

RHAENYRA: You are an idiot.
DAEMON: I am not!
RHAENYRA: I see why your brother never trusted you.
DAEMON: I was the strongest boy!
RHAENYRA: Everyone thinks you are a loser.
DAEMON: [Pouting, storming out] Im going to ride my dragon to … to … Harrenhal!
RHAENYRA: [Sighs] Fine.
And its not going to be easy to hire new ones, either.
Not after he had the last ones hanged in the streets.
Again, not his biggest problem.
But there are a lot of rats, man.

GOOD NEWS: Hes the new Hand!
Because I can go on if you want.
I said one of them!
Hes a weasel, yes.
But he gets results.
This is a Classic Otto situation.
I still do not like him.

Sylvi seems like a cool lady.
.Alyn 9 points
Alyn might be the smartest man on this show.
Alyn just wants peace and quiet.
Peace and quiet and stew.
What more could anyone want, really?
Its what Mysaria would do.
Hey, speaking of Mysaria …
.Mysaria 9 points
You saw it, right?
What do we think is happening there?
Did she have a go at tip someone off?
If she did tip someone off about the situation, why did it still get so close to happening?
What is she up to here???
I would watch a show where Mysaria solves a new murder each week.
Hugh still has not been paid for the scorpions hes building, despite Aegons promise in the previous episode.
Hugh is absolutely going to Do Something in the next few episodes.
I am worried about Hugh.
Hes doing the best he can.
Not a meaty episode for her, but still efficient.
She and Corlys seem to have the healthiest romantic relationship on the show.
Thats not exactly a mountain to climb given the chaos around them, but its still nice.

Hes a sweet boy.
(2) She rides a dragon named Moondancer, whichwe already knewbut is still cool.
(3) She can shoot the hell out of a crossbow, which is extremely cool.
We cannot let anything bad happen to her.
Tough week for the ratcatchers.
