Salty Nerd Reviews: House of the Dragon - We Light The Way (S1E5)

At the midway point of season 1, The House Of The Dragon seems to be losing some of its steam with a number of subplots and events that don't seem to be properly set up and actually confusing to the audience if they haven't read the books.  In this episode, King Viserys goes to Seastone to make nice with House Velaryon and to wed Rhaenyra to Laenor Velaryon.  Ser Criston Cole gets SIMPy for Rhaenyra, Daemon ends his marriage and starts eyeing Laena Velaryon, Lyonel Strong is the new Hand of the King and his son Larys starts acting like Littlefinger, and Alicent embraces her role as Queen and starts making some shrewd moves now that her father has left the Red Keep. There's lots of stuff happening on the show!  Let us know your thoughts on this episode at our Discord Server over at:  http://www.saltynerddiscord.com And if you like our Game Of Thrones Podcast and want more great House Of The Dragon podcast content, be sure to check out our members area!  For just $5 a month you get access to our huge back catalog of episodes, as well as 4 new members-only exclusive episodes each month.  Sign up here to support the show:  http://www.saltynerdclub.com --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/saltynerd/support
