Readers of 'Fire & Blood', the novel that 'House of the Dragon' is based on, may recall that everything that's happened over these past five episodes so far has only covered around 30 pages of George R.R. Martin's massive historical tome on the history of Westeros. As exciting and shocking as 'House of the Dragon' has been so far, we were promised "'Succession' with dragons"—not endless matchmaking. And still, there have only been a couple of transition scenes with dragons since the Crabfeeder was killed in Episode Three. What gives? |

Here at Esquire, we recap 'House of the Dragon' and 'Rings of Power' week to week. Josh Rosenberg, who would very much like more dragons in his life, handles 'House of the Dragon'. On the other end of the fantasy pond, Adrienne Westenfeld—who knows so damn much about Tolkien that I'm convinced she was an elf in a past life—covers 'Rings of Power'. So you know what I had to do, right? If HBO and Amazon are locked in a battle, then it only makes sense that our resident experts throw down, too. Now, I present to you: a debate between Adrienne and Josh, which nearly got as heated as the inside of a musty jousting helmet. |

It's our first view of King Charles III. Just after 2 in the afternoon on Friday September 9 in the shadow of Buckingham Palace, he is slightly hunched over in a fitted dark suit, black tie, and pocket square, his hair wispy and white, balding in the back. His familiar face etched with age. He makes his way to the crowd hanging over the barricade keeping them at a distance, and he begins shaking hands with the front row. |
