Whether you’re new to Westeros or making a long-awaited return, here’s everything you need know about the ‘Game of Thrones’ prequel, updated weekly.Joffrey with whom “Game of Thrones” fans are familiar — perhaps even likable. Unfortunately, audiences will never know because he was brutally killed in this episode.
Laenor Velaryon , second from left, and his lover Joffrey Lonmouth , second from right, both fought at the Stepstones in “House of the Dragon” Episode 3. Loras survives for quite a bit longer than Renly, but his death is even more horrific. He is arrested by a religious sect for the crime of being gay and having been intimate with other men. After confessing, Loras is forced to renounce his sexual orientation, his love for Renly and even his inheritance, but is killed moments later in a fire-bombing that wipes out the entire congregation.
That the world of “Game of Thrones” and “House of the Dragon” routinely accepts incest but cannot let queer men survive, let alone thrive, is more than disappointing. It is problematic and harmful. And for those who will try to paint the homophobia as some sort of “historical accuracy,” “House of the Dragon” is a fictional show set in a world with dragons and ice zombies.
