We read fantasy to find the colors again, I think, George R.R. Martin wrote in his short 1996 essay On Fantasy. For Martin, fantasy is about more than ribaldry, it is a genre of silver and scarlet, indigo and azure, obsidian veined with gold and lapis lazuli.
From crumbling gothic castles to grotesque charnel-house battlefields, this episode of House of the Dragon offers maximalist storytelling that feels both over-the-top and vital, speaking to something deep within the audience.
