In this video I react to George R. R. Martin's infamous September 4, 2024 blog post about Ryan Condal being as reckless as Ulf is on Silverwing with certain choices made in season 2 of House of the Dragon that will impact the rest of the series.
I talk first about the Blood and Cheese scene from HOTD 201, A Son For a Son, and then the Maelor omission that will have a butterfly effect on the rest of the series.
