I thought myself done with Game of Thrones, and I hardly think I’m the only one. Between the clumsily executed final season of the HBO series and the seemingly endless wait for The Winds of Winter, I was content to leave George R.R. Martin’s fantasy universe — which I had once been mildly obsessed with — behind for good. I may even have been subconsciously rooting for House of the Dragon — HBO’s first Game of Thrones spinoff — to fail that, I might not have to become reinvested in that world. I hadn’t even finished watching the first episode of House of the Dragon before I realized that was no longer the case. All it took was one shot of a dragon gliding over King’s Landing backed by Ramin Djawadi’s score to hook me. By the end of the episode, I was again under Westeros’ spell.
