The best moments of season 2 of “House of the Dragon”
Before we dive into the long-awaited conclusion, it’s worth remembering some of the most iconic moments of this intense season.
Since the first episode, titled “Son for Son,” the series has given us memorable scenes, such as the emotional appearance of new characters who quickly won our affection, like the little dog who never abandoned his owner, capturing our hearts with his loyalty and tenderness.
The second installment left us with one of the most intense battles yet: the fight between the twins Ser Arryk Cargyll and Ser Erryk Cargyll. This confrontation not only stood out for its spectacular choreography, but also for being a clear reflection of the growing division between the Black Council and the Green Council, deeply affecting not only House Targaryen, but the entire realm.
The painful funeral of Aegon and Helaena’s son showed us a more human side of the Green Council. This moment of vulnerability allowed the inhabitants of King’s Landing to feel closer to them, gaining the sympathy and empathy of the public.
One of the most anticipated moments was the intense conversation between Rhaenyra and Alicent in the third episode (“The Burning Mill”). This scene was full of tension and contained emotions, showing the complexity of their relationship and the weight of their decisions.

The battle at Rook’s Rest in the fourth episode, titled “The Red Dragon and the Gold One,” was a visual and emotional spectacle. The bravery of Rhaenys and her dragon Meleys facing Aegon and Sunfyre, along with Aemond and Vhagar, was awe-inspiring. Rhaenys’ tragic death at the hands of Aemond and Vhagar left an indelible mark on viewers, bidding farewell to the “Queen who never was” in a powerful way.
The fifth episode, “The Regent,” shook us from the start with the disturbing scene of Meleys’ head being displayed to the people as a trophy, an image that underlined the cruelty of war and the devastating consequences for all parties involved.
In the sixth episode, “The Plebs,” we experienced a poignant moment when Seasmoke, after rejecting Ser Steffon Darklyn – who tragically dies under dragon fire – chose Addam as his rider. This event was a reminder of the unpredictable and magical nature of dragons.

Finally, we find the recruitment of the dragon seeds and the opposition of the council to allow them to have the opportunity to be dragon riders. Another of the most striking scenes of the season: Rhaenyra taking the seeds so that they could become riders of Silverwing and Vermithor.
In addition, cameos from Milly Alcock and Paddy Considine, who played important characters in the first series, were a nostalgic treat for fans. Their performances were much loved by both audiences and critics, and their return, although brief, was enthusiastically received.
These moments have cemented a season full of emotions, intrigue and spectacularity. Now we eagerly await the conclusion of this exciting season. What will the finale hold? This Sunday we will find out at 10 pm on Max and HBO.
