    Aug 14 2026

    Salt, Sea, Fire and Blood, and chickens!


    This week, with the finale aired, we wrap up on season 3 of HOUSE OF THE DRAGON!


    Many deaths, grueling defeats, few and bitter victories, this season took many turns as the Dance of Dragons continued. Does the HBO staple still deliver?
