poses a question that few of us cared about before tonight: Who will inherit the Driftwood throne?
Despite its shaky start, though, Sunday night’s installment of “House of the Dragon” evolved into the prequel’s most consequential and game-changing episode to date. Fortunes flipped, heads rolled, enemies bonded and a dying dynasty’s wishes were woefully misinterpreted, ensuring 200 years of bloody unrest and plenty of fodder for future seasons.Whether you’re new to Westeros or making a long-awaited return, here’s everything you need know about the ‘Game of Thrones’ prequel, updated weekly.
