"Tumbleton" HOTD S3E4 ACOIAF #30

Welcome to our Tumbleton therapy session. This episode was a solid eight out of ten, mostly because it gave us exactly the kind of lore and misery we crave.

With Plotto officially out of the picture, we’ve found a worthy successor in Plotmund—aka Ormund Hightower. He’s filling that void with spectacular energy, whether he’s asserting dominance by pacing around naked in a bathhouse or delivering "fatherly" advice that’s really just thinly veiled manipulation.

Meanwhile, Rhaenyra is completely missing the tactical genius of "jobby bombs" as an air-to-ground offensive weapon.

To top it off, Harrenhal continues to be a spooky graveyard, and the dragon bonds were absolutely popping off. Caraxes is out here having full-blown human-dragon arguments with Daemon, Rhaena is playing hide-and-seek with Sheepstealer, and we’re sticking to our guns: Sunfire isn't dead, he’s just in a state of "brumation." Keep telling yourself that, and maybe it'll come true.
