Well, folks, I hope we’ve learned something from the most recent episode of “House of the Dragon.” First of all, never go horseback riding alone … not when you live in Westeros and especially when you happen to be married to the always unpredictable Daemon Targaryen (Matt Smith). Second of all, let it be known that there is such a thing as being too honest — which, again, goes double when you’re a lovestruck knight of the Kingsguard in the middle of a brewing rivalry between two would-be queens. And last but not least, when you’re keen on making a grand statement that hits hard politically as much as it does personally, then find yourself a great dressmaker that would put any number of red carpet stylists to shame.

Alicent Hightower (Emily Carey) announced herself as a main contender in the game of thrones with a flourish by doing exactly that, using an otherwise unassuming green dress to pay off an entire hour of steadily mounting pressure, the discovery of betrayal, and perhaps even the pursuit of her own ambitions, as well.

Much like the best seasons of “Game of Thrones” before it, “House of the Dragon” has largely succeeded so far on the strength of its richly mapped-out main characters, all of whom come with fascinating flaws and innermost insecurities that still remain fully relatable. The only difference between us and them, of course, is that the ramifications of their shortcomings and grasps for power are truly dynasty-shaking to the extreme. By the end of the episode, the entire balance of power in the series has changed.

What led Alicent to this moment? How will this play out in the remaining season? And what exactly is the significance behind that striking green dress? Let’s dig into it.

The ‘Greens’ And ‘Blacks’ Explained

No story set in the world of “Game of Thrones” would feel complete without a struggle for the Iron Throne and all the bitter rivalries that come with such ambitions. “House of the Dragon,” based on author George R.R. Martin’s book “Fire & Blood,” makes up for its lack of familiar characters with all the political infighting, power grabs, and courtly drama that viewers could ever need this side of “Succession.”

Alicent’s perfectly calculated choice to interrupt her royal husband Viserys’ (Paddy Considine’s) wedding speech with her unforgettable entrance gave viewers their introduction to the two factions that could very well tear the Targaryen family apart. (Hey, everyone could theoretically make up, set their differences aside, and learn to live happily ever after …. right?) Although the exact details in the book differ, Alicent’s memorable fashion statement became known for kicking off the informal “Green” party made up of loyalists to the Queen and the succession represented by the birth of her and Viserys’ firstborn son, Aegon. On the opposite end of the spectrum, “House of the Dragon” will likely emphasize the “Blacks” in upcoming episodes, named for the black and red color scheme of House Targaryen that represents Rhaenyra (Milly Alcock) and her claim to the Throne.

Thanks to the careful set up in the first four episodes, the divisions that will ultimately lead to battle lines in the sand have been drawn, the question of succession has been drilled into the heads of even the most casual viewers, and now all this tinderbox needs is a spark — likely in the form of King Viserys’ failing health, as a spurned Otto Hightower (Rhys Ifans) ominously warns his daughter Alicent — to set it all on fire and burn the House to the ground.

How Did We Get Here?

As much as it benefits an ensemble like “House of the Dragon” to dedicate itself to wonderfully complex characters with equally complicated motivations, perhaps the greatest aspect of the series is in how it challenges its viewers and forces them to keep up with the winding events of the story. Indeed, some may have found it somewhat difficult to chart the exact progression that Alicent undertakes from an uncertain and reluctant figurehead to a Queen who makes her boldest and shrewdest move yet — all while finally embracing the opportunity at her fingertips and truly owning the power that she wields. 

To many, the young Queen’s ascension may feel as sudden and inexplicable as it does to Alicent herself.

As we saw in earlier episodes, Alicent and Rhaenyra grew up in court nigh inseparable and without even the slightest inclination to have a say in the rulership of the Seven Kingdoms … until the years began to pass, Otto Hightower artfully maneuvered young Alicent into the King’s path, and Rhaenyra began to wake up to the realities (and responsibilities) of her position as the King’s heir. Despite the King’s proclamation establishing the princess as next in line to the Iron Throne, the most practical members of court (such as Eve Best’s Princess Rhaenys, who has firsthand experience with having her right to rule rejected by the kingdom at large) know that Rhaenyra’s claim is tenuous, at best. Enter Alicent and the son she bears the King, which presents a whole new series of complications over who ought to rule next.

But even debates over succession only mean so much without a personal angle, which is where last week’s incestuous little jaunt through the brothels of King’s Landing comes in.

A Frayed Friendship … Or Something More?

To bring it back to the green dress of it all, this episode (titled “We Light the Way”) provides a handy explanation for Alicent’s choice in garment, relating to the fiery green beacon that House Hightower has traditionally used to call their banners and signal the onset of war. The thematic underpinnings, however, extend far beyond mere color scheme and remain tightly interconnected with the various motivations that have led her to this tumultuous moment in the history of Targaryen rule.

Perhaps most impressively, actor Emily Carey does much of the heavy-lifting in Alicent’s storyline with barely a word of dialogue.

In classic “Game of Thrones” style, this episode of “House of the Dragon” stages a series of largely one-sided conversations that forces the Queen to contend with her role amid much larger Targaryen drama. First comes the dismissal of her father and the Hand of the King, Otto, whose loss as her only major ally in court brings a whole set of problems … one that the subtle prominence of manipulative Larys Strong (Matthew Needham, doing his own twist on Aiden Gillan as Littlefinger in the original series) only further complicates. Forced to make her own decisions for once, Alicent’s summons of Kingsguard knight Ser Criston Cole (Fabien Frankel) prove fateful. Cracking under her (rather oblivious) interrogation, he spills the beans of his affair with Rhaenyra and sows even more seeds of dissent between the two former friends. 

All this combines to push Alicent from a young girl carried by the whims of others into a woman taking charge of her own destiny, leading smoothly to next week’s recasting of both Alicent and Rhaenyra with Olivia Cooke and Emma D’Arcy, respectively.

New episodes of “House of the Dragon” air Sunday nights on HBO.

The lore of J.R.R. Tolkien’s Middle-earth is vast and sometimes confusing. There’s over 9,000 years worth of intricate history that film and television has not even touched on. For those who have been watching Amazon’s “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power,” it’s been exciting to explore new corners of Middle-earth and the early lives of beloved characters like Galadriel (Morfydd Clark). One of the key places that we are introduced to in the first episodes of the series is Valinor, also known as the Undying Lands. It is a tranquil, sprawling land where Galadriel grew up that she describes as a “winterless spring.”

In “The Return of the King” novel, Tolkien depicts Frodo’s experience in Valinor: 

“Frodo smelled a sweet fragrance on the air and heard the sound of singing that came over the water … the grey rain-curtain turned all to silver glass and was rolled back, and he beheld white shores and beyond them a far green country under a swift sunrise.” 

This language is eventually used in Peter Jackson’s film version during the song “Into the West.” Both Peter Jackson in “The Lord of the Rings” trilogy and the “The Rings of Power” creators reflect Valinor’s immaculate beauty in their cinematography of shining, golden hues. Valinor is a mix between Mount Olympus and the Garden of Eden, the home of Middle-earth’s godlike beings and the immortal elves. The common misconception is that Valinor is a kind of heaven for everyone in Middle-earth but only elves and a select few are permitted to spend the rest of their lives there. It is a paradise with no pain or suffering. Galadriel has a different relationship with Valinor in all versions of Middle-earth tales. 

The History Of Tolkien’s Valinor

In the books, Valinor exists on the continent of Aman, west of Middle-earth across the great ocean known as the Sundering Seas. Before, the ocean was a bridge of ice called the Helcaraxë which Galadriel walked across during the Exile of the Noldor in the First Age, when a group of elves went to defeat Morgoth in Middle-earth after he destroyed the Two Trees of Valinor. We see these trees in “The Rings of Power,” beautiful sources of light created by the Valar in ancient times. Their last flower and fruit was transformed into the sun and the moon. The rebellious Noldor are banned from returning to Valinor by the Valar.

In the Second Age, the Valar destroy passage to Aman after the men of Numenor attempt to invade Valinor to achieve immortality for the human race. The Valar take Valinor out of Aman and place it above the surface of the earth where you must follow The Straight Path “into the realm of hidden things, a mighty bridge invisible that passed through the air of breath and of flight (which were bent now as the world was bent),” Tolkien writes in “The Silmarillion.” 

After the War of Wrath ends, the Valar pardon Galadriel and the other elves and allow them to return to Valinor but Galadriel refuses because she has a fierce desire to rule over her own kingdom. That is what motivated her to travel to Middle-earth more than overthrowing Morgoth. She remains in Middle-earth for two more ages to satisfy her craving for power. 

Valinor In Peter Jackson’s Films

Our main glimpse of Valinor in Peter Jackson’s “The Lord of the Rings” trilogy is during the deeply emotional ending of “The Return of the King.” Frodo travels to the Undying Lands with Bilbo, Gandalf, Elrond, Galadriel, and Celeborn. In the books, Sam, Legolas, and Gimli eventually go as well. 

While the Undying Lands are for the elves, Frodo is invited so that he can heal from the immense damage the Ring did to his soul. Middle-earth could not save him from Sauron’s corruption and his painful suffering. He and Bilbo are rewarded for keeping the ring safe and are able to live the remainder of their days in serenity. Peter Jackson masterfully crafts this scene as a combination of heart-wrenching melancholy (I sob every time he says goodbye to the hobbits) and happiness that Frodo will finally be at peace.

The trilogy also references Galadriel’s complicated relationship with Valinor. She has clusters of star-like lights in her deep blue eyes because she is the last to have seen the light of the Two Trees. After she resists taking the One Ring when Frodo offers it to her, she references passing a “test” and is now able to “diminish and go into the West.” In other words, the Valar will let her return to the Undying Lands. Tolkien explains why Galadriel’s ban is lifted in the book “The Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien”:

“She was pardoned because of her resistance to the final and overwhelming temptation to take the ring for herself.” 

We see Galadriel at the end of “The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King” at the ship heading to Valinor because she has given up her lust for power for the greater good. 

What The Rings Of Power Changes About Valinor

In the climactic moments of the first episode of “The Rings of Power,” Galadriel must choose between joining the other elves in Valinor, her beloved former home, or pursue Sauron in Middle-earth. In a heroic and lengthy sequence during the second episode, Galadriel turns back to complete her mission. 

One of the biggest departures from Tolkien’s writing is that Galadriel is not banned from Valinor by the Valar. Instead, the High King of the elves Gil-galad allows Galadriel and her fellow warriors to travel to the Undying Lands. He doles out Valinor like a prize, not a deeply personal decision and something each elf can choose for themselves. The show treats Valinor like something that can be handed out by a ruler based on his own whims, completely erasing the will of the supreme Valar. 

This completely changes the structure of leadership in Tolkien’s world, but perhaps “The Rings of Power” thought it was easier to depict it this way rather than delve even more into the dense mythology. By removing the Valar’s ban, Galadriel is torn between two separate worlds that she cares about deeply due to her need to avenge her brother Finrod. This makes for higher stakes, more dramatic tension, and an exciting narrative.

What “The Rings of Power” does get across, like Peter Jackson’s films, is that Valinor is a special, even holy place that promises comfort for characters, but only when they are truly ready to go there.

This post contains spoilers for episode 3 of “She-Hulk: Attorney at law.”

“She-Hulk: Attorney At Law” isn’t a show that lacks in self-awareness, that’s for sure. After the premiere episode charted Jennifer Walters’ (Tatiana Maslany) origin story alongside a healthy dose of Mark Ruffalo’s Bruce Banner/Hulk, the second episode (re)introduced Tim Roth’s Emil Blonsky/Abomination, a holdover from 2008’s “The Incredible Hulk” who many fans wouldn’t have expected to see again before his appearance in “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.” Now, today’s episode gifted us with yet another cameo by Wong (Benedict Wong), the Sorcerer Supreme who has now made a habit of popping up in the Marvel Cinematic Universe when you’d least expect him to. All this was wryly acknowledged early in the third episode, with She-Hulk once again breaking the fourth wall to remind viewers of exactly whose show this is.

But this series isn’t solely about bringing back fan-favorites — Jen still has her own distinct journey to follow and her own unique antagonists to face. We met one of them in the form of Jameela Jamil’s Titania and now, in the waning moments of episode three, we’ve now got a whole new group of villains to contend with.

While Jen is walking home after a long day at the office, having successfully helped out both Blonsky and her profoundly irritating former co-worker Dennis Bukowski (Drew Matthews), she suddenly comes under attack by what seems like a band of anonymous creeps. Although She-Hulk dispatches them with ease, the fact that they brandish mystical construction tools apparently stolen from New Asgard and then subsequently talk about a mysterious “boss” who recruited them to try and inject She-Hulk (or extract from her?) with some sort of device indicates something more nefarious at work.

Meet the Wrecking Crew, a group of no-gooders from the comics making their MCU debut.

Who Are The Wrecking Crew?

Like many other characters in the Marvel Comics source material, the history of the formidable Wrecking Crew is full of twists and turns and unexpected connections. For one thing, the Wrecking Crew are actually typically considered to be villains of Thor, which neatly explains their New Asgard connection in “She-Hulk.” Created by Len Wein and Sal Buscema, the criminal team-up consists of Dr. Eliot Franklin/Thunderball, Henry Camp/Bulldozer, Brian Calusky/Piledriver, and their ringleader Dirk Garthwaite/Wrecker. In issue #17 of the 1974 “Defenders” comic book run, the team was imbued with their mystical powers when Garthwaite and the other three took up an enchanted crowbar (comics, baby!) in the middle of a thunderstorm, were struck by lightning, and immediately formed their fancy new supervillain group. As one does.

Their first appearance saw Bruce Banner himself eventually called in to help clean up the Wrecking Crew’s mess, further strengthening the Hulk connections in their live-action debut in the Disney+ series. Although dead-set on vanquishing Thor, the crew have also had run-ins with various other superheroes such as Luke Cage, Iron Fist, Captain America, and the Runaways. Far from just a mere inconvenience to the good guys, however, the Wrecking Crew have had a penchant for joining forces with the likes of Helmut Zemo’s Masters of Evil organization and Mr. Sinister, and they even a memorable run-in with the god of mischief Loki. Armed with Wrecker’s powerful crowbar and Thunderball’s ball and chain, the group has posed a significant threat that sees them repeatedly fighting heroes, ending up in prison, and breaking out all over again to begin the cycle anew.

Thus far, the “She-Hulk” end credits only identify that Wrecker is portrayed by actor Nick Gomez and Thunderball by Justin Eaton. Expect to see much more of them in the future.

How Will They Factor Into She-Hulk?

After their failed assault on Jen Walters in “She-Hulk,” the Wrecking Crew regroup in their getaway van to lick their wounds. At this point, the apparent leader of the team asks Thunderball, “Did you get it?” Without elaborating further, the henchman begrudgingly admits that his attempt to stab Jen with some sort of needle-like device failed because, “Once she turned into She-Hulk, I couldn’t pierce that nasty green skin.” Alluding to a “boss” who’s not going to respond well to this defeat, the gang takes off and the episode ends with one last lingering shot of She-Hulk.

Naturally, fans immediately began to speculate about the nature of that person behind the curtain who may be pulling the strings. As if the predominantly negative media attention and aggravating clients at work weren’t enough, it certainly appears that Jen will soon find herself dealing with an extremely motivated and undoubtedly troublesome new foe — one who might be after the gamma-radiation secrets locked within her blood.

So who might that “boss” be? Well, one obvious and immediate answer could bring back yet another “The Incredible Hulk” character. Although Kevin Feige has made greater strides over the years to mesh the once-estranged film back into the MCU proper, even the biggest fans likely gave up hope on ever seeing Tim Blake Nelson’s Samuel Sterns ever again — even after his attempts to help Bruce and especially his concluding moments in the film, which saw him transforming into the villainous Leader. But could “She-Hulk” finally bring the family back together again, paying off one of the great unresolved plot threads in the MCU and bringing yet another thoroughly entertaining actor into the fold?

New episodes of “She-Hulk” air on Disney+ every Thursday.

“If DG says that the series ends in Scotland, then I’m guessing Jamie dies in Scotland, and so his ghost can only roam there, so we don’t see his ghost visiting her in Boston, etc.

“Claire would only be in Scotland on these kinds of holidays at the beginning of book 1 and maybe once or twice more while she’s with Jamie in the 1740’s before/after Paris, so this time we see him visiting her is kind of his only opportunity.

Amazon Prime Video dropped its latest Indian offering Tandav recently, a political thriller which has gained comparisons to Netflix’s House of Cards. The show followed multiple characters with the central figure Samar Pratap Singh (played by Saif Ali Khan) leading proceedings. Express.co.uk takes a look at the main plot points from the finale of season one.

How did Tandav end?

WARNING: This article contains major spoilers from Tandav

Sana was found dead

There was one major death at the end of the series in the form of Sana Mir (Kritika Kamra), who appeared to have taken her own life.

However, her death seemed suspicious with murder on the cards and simply made to look like a suicide.

Some fans are speculating she was killed by Professor Jigar Sampath (Dino Morea) and Samar after she planned to reveal all to Shiva Shekar (Mohd Zeeshan Ayyub).

Sana was having an affair with Jigar but this doesn’t mean he didn’t bump her off for his own ends.

Samar made a shock move

The series started with Samar poisoning his own father Devki Nandan Singh (Tigmanshu Dhulia) in a bid for power. Despite killing off his father, Samar later decided against taking the top spot.

Throughout Tandav Samar had been pulling all the strings to ensure he decided who held power and he continued to do so until the very end.

He blackmailed the current prime minister Anuradha Kishore (Dimple Kapadia), forcing her to step down from her position.

Samar learned she knew her predecessor was going to be killed and used this against her, making her position untenable.

But in what came as a huge twist, Samar decided in the finale not to declare his intention to run for prime minster and instead planned to keep manipulating all those around him for his own nefarious purposes.

He named Gopal Das Munshi (Kumud Misra) as the interim prime minister with Samar likely to have a bigger scheme planned.

Gopal is likely to become another puppet for Samar to manoeuvre for his own ends.

Interestingly, Samar’s Lady Macbeth-esque wife Ayesha Pratap Singh (Sarah Jane Dias) seemed confused by her husband’s last-minute change of heart not to run for premier. The big question is: what does Samar really want in the end?

Shiva won the election

University student Shiva reigned victorious in his elections but started to question his path to winning.

Again, season two will see him likely to become aware all is not as it seems around him.

If he does learn Samar has been involved in proceedings, will he be lured in by the promise of power or choose the moral high ground?

Samar has got the college student ensnared in his crosshairs and perhaps Shiva will be indebted to him and unable to break out of the powerful politician’s grasp.

“We have scenes, we have characters, we have things in the books we haven’t covered. We can call back on stuff.

Ultimately, it was unclear whether Noah’s machine worked but Jonas Kahnwald (Louis Hofmann) did get sent to the future. Also, Noah managed to travel through different time periods, suggesting the contraption did work.

For instance, in season one Noah visited Mikkel Nielsen (Daan Lennard Liebrenz) in hospital after the child showed up there when he first travelled through time.

Later, Noah was seen in other eras and even meeting with a young version of himself (Max Schimmelpfennig).

Some fans have wondered why Noah only took boys rather than girls, perhaps the simple reason could be: he felt less guilty.

Also, Noah was the father of baby Charlotte and by taking a female child, it may have triggered painful memories of his own loss.

Hanno was re-named Noah by Adam but his reasons for doing so remained a mystery.

Going by the biblical theme, Noah later likened his crude time machine to an ark as he sought to save humanity.

He believed Adam was on the side of good and followed him blindly without realising they were all locked in an infinite cycle.

Unfortunately, he was left disillusioned and tried to take revenge on Adam after learning his daughter was Charlotte Doppler (Karoline Eichhorn) – the mother of his wife Elisabeth (Sandra Borgmann).

Ultimately, Noah/Hanno was simply a pawn in the cycle and died hoping he could change the future.

Fuller House‘s entire five-season run was peppered with callbacks to Full House, but the Netflix comedy went above and beyond for its just-released final episodes. And we have the show’s stars to thank for it, apparently.

“We kept giving the writers more [ideas], because we remember most of the things from the show,” Candace Cameron Bure tells TVLine. “Where they would give one nugget, we would give them another five on top of that. In that scene in the attic, Jodie and I were the ones who were like, ‘We need the Honeybee costumes and D.J.’s lips phone!’ They just have the newer things in the attic. We’re the ones who always suggest more and more.”

Adds Andrea Barber, “A lot of our writers haven’t even seen Full House, oddly enough, but Candace and Jodie and I were like, ‘We know all the relics you need to pull out.’ And some of them aren’t even referenced. We don’t even talk about them. You have to keep your eye out and look for them. This was our last chance to do all these callbacks, and we jammed in as many as we could.”

For this list, we chose to focus on the final nine episodes of Fuller House, which hit Netflix earlier this week. From old Tanner family memorabilia (D.J.’s lips phone!) to familiar guest stars (so many exes!), no stone was left unturned — or unreferenced — in the second half of Season 5.
