Fans ecstatic as dragonseeds take center stage in House of the Dragon Season 2 Episode 6

Season 2 of House of the Dragon is escalating, with the Targaryens at the epicenter of the strife. The focus will primarily be on the descendants of the quarreling Targaryen progenitors. Additionally, the Targaryens’ illegitimate offspring, known as the Dragonseeds, are poised to play a crucial role. And along with them, we get more dragons.

House of the Dragon Season 2 Episode 6 circles around Dragonseeds

In the latest episode of House of the Dragon, Rhaenyra and Jacaerys discuss the need to find new riders for Dragonstone’s unclaimed dragons. These individuals, known as Dragonseeds in ‘Fire & Blood’, possess Valyrian blood. Episode 6 depicts Rhaenyra’s unsuccessful attempt to have Ser Steffon Darklyn ride Seasmoke, ending in fiery failure.

The series has introduced us to Hugh Hammer and Ulf White, along with their dragons Vermithor (seen in Season 1) and Silverwing (featured in a recent stamp collection). Additionally, Addam of Hull, a Velaryon bastard, has been shown claiming Seasmoke. Regrettably, the show has deviated from one aspect of the Dragonseed storyline, replacing Nettles with Rhaena as the rider of Sheepstealer.

Fans were left wanting more after the latest House of the Dragon episode

The latest episode teased a number of important characters such as Daeron, the Red Krakken, and Sheepstealer. The hype meter is already hitting sky-high, if it already wasn’t so far. Fans took to social media to express their excitement:

I’m happy so many like House of the Dragon episode 6 but I have mixed feelings – the lows were lower than ep 5.

Rewatching I agree with RTR: as a book fan I didn’t feel Daemon’s Harrenhal arc dragged (maybe in 5, but Alys great in 6 made up for it)….but Rhaenyra got filler…

Didn’t have the Aegon and Aemon House of the Dragon episode 6 story line happening IRL on my bucket list.

Okay. Who here thought the most recent episode of House of the Dragon was awesome, cause… I have grievances.

How can this show be on episode 6 of probably 9 total, and yet almost nothing has actually happened?

This episode in particular didn't meaningfully advance one…

Fun fact, je viens de voir l'épisode 6 S2 de House of the Dragons.. elle est assez troublante la coïncidence 😂
Cela dit, même si on plaisante là, je vois certaines personnes changer d'orientation par désespoir.. dans quel monde on vit.

I sincerely advise the IGP to what House of the Dragons season 2 episode 6, he will understand better that hunger has no respect for anybody. You either do right by the people or face the consequences when it comes to hunger.

House of the Dragon has some making up to do in the last two episodes. Episode 6 was a difficult watch. pic.twitter.com/024jTPjG6j

Damn House of the Dragon is falling off. S2 started off well but it's becomes boring. Too much filler, episodes regurgitating scene after scene by doing the exact same thing. Show needs to pick up & soon. Episode 6 was awful. https://t.co/Ct4eBPTCMz pic.twitter.com/chfEtkXcOU

House of the Dragon Season 2 is turning out to be a major disappointment, with Episode 6 no different. Again, it is the same thing over and over, the characters standing around talking.
