House of the Dragon - S03E07 - A Dragon in Winter - Feedback

David and Jean dig into listener feedback on "A Dragon in Winter," with a community that had plenty to say. The conversation opens with a lively debate on where Cole's death ranks among the great villain exits in the Westeros universe, with Jean making the case that his particular brand of self-deluding villainy makes it more satisfying than either Joffrey or Ramsay. Ormond gets a thorough going over as listeners weigh in on his manipulation of Ulf and his willingness to set aside his stated principles the moment a dragon becomes available to him. The Harrenhal dream sequences spark a broader discussion about whether the castle itself is selective about who it reaches and whether Targaryens are uniquely susceptible to whatever is in the air there. Military Corner returns with a deep dive into the just war doctrine and the historical precedents for how rules of warfare get invoked, ignored, and exploited.
