House of the Dragon shocks fans with daring third-episode scenes
Violence and sex are almost trademarks of "Game of Thrones" and its prequel hit "House of the Dragon." Despite numerous nude scenes, the creators can still surprise viewers. This was the case in the third episode of the series's second season. Fans could not believe how much was shown.
The second season of "House of the Dragon" was one of the most anticipated productions of 2024. The series premiered shortly after HBO MAX transformed into Max. Already in the first episode of the new season, the creators included a scene of a small child being murdered, signalling a brutal and bloody direction, as befitting a series from the "Game of Thrones" universe. There were also intimate scenes, but none as daring as in the 3rd episode.
What was shown in the 3rd episode of "House of the Dragon"?
If you haven't seen the latest episode yet, be cautious, as there will be a few spoilers.
In the 3rd episode, discussions continue about the Black and Greens conflict. War is in the air. However, King Aegon is not deterred by this and indulges in alcohol and visits brothels.
Aegon takes his loyal soldiers to a place of pleasure. He is looking for a specific lady of the night. He draws back several curtains to find her, revealing courtesans and their clients in close proximity. At one point, when another curtain falls, viewers see a close-up of oral sex prominently displayed.
This scene caused a storm of comments. "I expected sex, but not this. This series never ceases to amaze me," "I'm surprised they managed to air this," and "Wow, this episode had everything! The strangest sex act I've ever seen," wrote shocked viewers.
But that's not all! A few minutes later, Aegon finds what, or rather who, he was looking for. However, the woman is not alone. She is accompanied by the king's brother, Aemond, who is completely naked without his characteristic eye patch. Without giving too much away, we’ll just say that at one point, he stands up and exposes himself in full view.
"Such scenes start with a conversation about how far you are willing to go. It was not a choice we made lightly. But the truth is, Aemond shocks the audience. Weakness is not part of Aemond's vocabulary," said Ewan Mitchell, who plays the bold scene.
