That was a lot, wasn’t it?! It only means one thing: House of the Dragon is getting ever so closer! We’ll see the series opener in only three weeks and change! The lucky ones at the LA premiere got to watch it already, of course… but now they have to wait longer for the second episode, so don’t feel too envious!
