The battle lines have been drawn between the Blacks and Greens, and now, we're inching closer and closer to the Dance of the Dragons!

Tonight's installment of House of the Dragon saw a number of big developments as both sides loaded up and gained some major reinforcements, with Aemond (Leo Ashton) first claiming Vhagar for the Greens - before losing his eye in a show-stopping fight with his nephews and cousins. 

This led to a tense confrontation between Alicent (Oliva Cooke) and Rhaenyra (Emma D'Arcy), which ultimately saw the Greens and Blacks start to take sides, as the whole room become well aware of Alicent's true nature, giving Rhaenyra a slight upper hand moving into the rest of the hour.

The excellent episode ended with Rhaenyra and Daemon (Matt Smith) finally sealing the deal by getting married, further strengthening her claim to the Iron Throne. But not without one last big twist ,as they helped give Laenor (John Macmillan) the out he's been seeking and aided him with faking his own death. 

Check out the new preview for episode eight, titled "The Lord Of The Tides," below:

Season One features Paddy Considine, Matt Smith, Olivia Cooke, Emma D’Arcy, Steve Toussaint, Eve Best, Fabien Frankel, Sonoya Mizuno, and Rhys Ifans, with Milly Alcock, Bethany Antonia, Phoebe Campbell, Emily Carey, Harry Collett, Ryan Corr, Tom Glynn-Carney, Jefferson Hall, David Horovitch, Wil Johnson, John Macmillan, Graham McTavish, Ewan Mitchell, Theo Nate, Matthew Needham, Bill Paterson, Phia Saban, Gavin Spokes, and Savannah Steyn. 

Based on George R.R. Martin’s “Fire & Blood,” the series, set 200 years before the events of “Game of Thrones,” tells the story of House Targaryen.

Bro this show ain't missing! It only gets better with each episode.

Although those fake nighttime scenes missed the mark big time.

It’s funny that the fight scene with the children was more exciting than any fight scene from Rings Of Power. 🤷‍♂️

My favorite part of this episode was right after Alicent loses her entire mind, the whole room just looks around like "Well......bedtime?" I would love to see Viserys just defy all odds and just keep being alive while looking more and more zombie ish. This is how you write and direct a series. This show and THE BOYS time and time again display things that are levels better than what MCU is doing with its DISNEY + shows and DC is doing

Alicent is full Yoko. Viscerys needs a stronger pimp hand. Also people are avoiding consequences left and right on this show. Cole beating the guy to death at the wedding, the fight between the kids, Alicent slashing the Queen to be.
