And here is a detail that obsesses me a bit: the fact that the prisoners freed by Larys and responsible for the lethal fire<strong> be as we see it in the scene so similar<\/strong> (too much, I would say) makes faceless men suddenly come to mind.<\/p>\n<p><!-- BREAK 10 --><\/p>\n<p>I know it may sound like a crazy theory, but let&#8217;s remember that <strong>Jaqen H&#8217;ghar we met him as one of the prisoners recruited<\/strong> to go to the Wall in season 2 of &#8216;Game of thrones&#8217;.  It also fits the fact that this fire was one of the great unknowns of the era.  What eludes us, however, is the relationship between the dastardly Lord Larys and the mystical order.<\/p>\n<p><!-- BREAK 11 --><\/p>\n<p>Although I admit that you have <strong>more than &#8220;wish&#8221;<\/strong> to see them in action than in reality, <strong>the truth is that it would not be unreasonable<\/strong>.

For now, next week we hope to see how Rhaenyra and company are doing in Dragonstone and, on the other hand, what becomes of the recently widowed Daemon.  All this in which we see that the king&#8217;s health worsens by the minute.<\/p>\n<p><!-- BREAK 13 --><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If my memory serves me correctly, in the provisional version that was passed to the press of episode 6 of &#8216;The house of the dragon&#8217;, Miguel Sapochnick&#8217;s camera was slow to let us see who was the woman in labor with whom we opened this new hour of the series.
