There might not be a more perfect video out there right now – for me anyway. Combine House of the Dragon with Philly cheesesteaks and you literally hit two-thirds of my past weekend:

It’s a piece of baguette. It’s like a kind of baguette. A bunch of meat and cheese in a soft baguette-like thing.

I think Ser Criston Cole sold it wonderfully, if we’re being honest. But the picture Buzzfeed put up is despicable. Is that green peppers? Why does the bread have cracks running through it like every street in Philadelphia?  The gelatinous whiz looks like the same guck that was on Edwin Diaz’s hand when he got suspended. It looks like something you’d get at a Cowboys game. Imitation steak like Dallas imitates being contenders every year:

Sidenote: If you’re looking for a reason to jump into HotD I recommend you start. I know people are apprehensive to get into it because they’re still mad a bastard ended up on the throne in their make believe fairy show. Just give it a chance. I don’t really blame GOT for the ending because one, they gave us 7.5 seasons of must watch television. And two, because HBO has proven time and again it can’t land the plane when it comes to finales. This would be like labeling the Andy Reid Era a failure because he couldn’t win the big one in Philly.

Btw it’s House of Dragons. Nobody calls it House of the Dragon. (Kinkead: da fuq?)

The first season of HotD was good. Was it great? No. But I’ve seen enough shitty spin-offs in my life to know this one was at least serviceable and left me excited for season two. So far in the first four episodes of season two there have been two jaw-dropping moments. That’s enough for me. Oh and if you love dragons this is your show. Dragon play everywhere. They utilize dragons in this show like Nick Sirianni utilizes gear from a local team when he needs some heat off him in the press.
