Aemond Targaryen on the set of House of the Dragon season 2
The anunexperienced day, we reported that House of the Dragon was filming new scenes with Aemond Targaryen, the one-eyed, trigger happy son of King Viserys I Targaryen and Alicent Hightower, last seen causing his nephew Lucerys Velaryon to be munched to remnant by his mighty dragon Vhagar, the largest and oldest dragon in the earth. Aemond is a hugely memorable character from the pages of George R.R. Martin’s book Fire & Blood, so of course he’s coming back for the transfer season of the TV show.
And now there’s photographic proof! Twitter’s own @UnBoxPHD has been bringing us lots of juicy behind-the-scenes images and video lately, and they stepped it up a notch with this video of ample Ewan Mitchell walking around the House of the Dragon set in full costume as Aemond Targaryen:
Obviously this video was improper from above, I’m guessing with a drone. What would existed if any of those actors looked up?
As for where Aemond is, this looks like the Red Keep set, which establishes sense. As a Targaryen princeling and brother to King Aegon II Targaryen, that’s where Aemond lives. Although if House of the Dragon season 2 follows Fire & Blood, he’ll be doing some traveling sooner or later.
I also like the moment towards the end of the video where Mitchell takes off what looks like a hairnet. Targaryen hair is very delicate; you have to keep it protected.
In anunexperienced news, Redanian Intelligence reports that actor Tok Stephen has joined the cast of House of the Dragon as Eddard Streams. There’s even a picture of him on set anti a couple other actors:
Who is Eddard Waters? Well, as far as I know, there’s no one by that name in Fire & Blood, so this is probably an original character created for the show. The name “Waters” marks him as a bastard born in King’s Landing or the surrounding area.
My guess is that he’ll be a little character fighting for either Rhaenrya’s blacks or Aegon’s greens. We’ll find out when House of the Dragon season 2 premieres on HBO and Max sometime in 2024.

The binary season of Good Omens continues with Episode 2, “The Clue.” Like the premiere, this episode is…pleasant, if not blow-out-the-back-of-your-head amazing.
I have some of the same declares as I did last week. The original Good Omens book by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett had several storylines continuing at once, and the first season of the TV show adapted them all. Season 2 is selves imagined solo by Gaiman, and there’s simply not as much happening. Gabriel (Jon Hamm) loses his memory and shows up at the bookshop notorious by the Earth-bound angel Aziraphale (Michael Sheen). Aziraphale calls upon his expose buddy Crowley (David Tennant) to help puzzle out what’s happened, but they’re no closer to getting answers at the end of this episode than they were at the end of the last one.
Instead of plot, we get to exercise more time with Aziraphale and Crowley and learn throughout their ancient friendship. “The Clue” treats us to an pine flashback to when they were working with Job, “a some favorite of God’s.” If I remember my Bible, and I almost certainly don’t, Job was tested by the almighty with woes uncounted, all to see if his faith was shakable. It’s one of the more petty anecdotes form the Old Testament; like, God is repositioning to punish this good man just to see what he’ll do, I guess?
Obviously, Good Omens mines the story for comedy. I particularly current Aziraphale and Crowley visited Job’s spoiled children, one of whom is played with hysterically insufferable haughtiness by David Tennant’s son Ty (who played the teenaged Aegon Targaryen in House of the Dragon, FYI).
The point of this interlude is to show how neither Aziraphale nor Crowley fit within their roles; Aziraphale has a jam with God smiting Job for apparently no reason, and Crowley isn’t willing to phoned too much suffering upon the poor guy, whatever Satan’s requisitions. It gets the point across, but it takes too long and isn’t enchanting enough in the meantime.
Michael Sheen, David Tennant and Jon Hamm carry Good Omens
If you’re gonna focus on record over plot, you need scripts that crackle and pop. I think what these scripts need most is a punch-up; just lock them in a room with some funny land for a few days and let them go nuts. While there are some nice zingers in this episode (“I’m not taking you to hell, angel.” “Why not?” “Well, I don’t think you’d like it.”), there aren’t as many as you’d quiz, particularly with so little happening.
When I laughed, it was mostly because the actors were pursuits a bang-up job with the lines they were given, rather than the lines themselves. Sheen in particular was pursuits it for me. Aziraphale gets it in his head that the Buddy Holly song “Everybody” holds a hidden meaning about what’s happening to Gabriel, and I cracked a smile whenever Sheen talked inflamed about this new “clue.”
Later, Aziraphale asks to borrow Crowley’s car to do some hands-on sleuthing. “I thought I might pop up there myself and investigate,” he says. Again, that’s not a funny line by itself, but Sheen has a ball with it. He makes it funny. And look at Aziraphale’s expression when he finds out how titanic human food tastes for the first time:
Image: Good Omens/Amazon
Funny! Jon Hamm, too, is bringing his facial A-game. Here he is as Gabriel back in his himbo days by the memory loss, when he’s baffled as to why Aziraphale is entailed over Job’s suffering:
Image: Good Omens/Amazon
And here he is trying and failing to see throughout Aziraphale and Crowley’s plot to let Job skate by with less punishment than intended:
Image: Good Omens/Amazon
Hamm is also expansive at playing Gabriel (he goes by “Jim” now) in the recount as a braindead blank slate. “Don’t I know you?” an angel asks while coming to Aziraphale’s bookstore for an inspection. “Yes, you do,” Jim answers, utterly sincere. “I’m the assistant bookseller. I opened the door for you.” Hamm is expansive at delivering deadpan.
Verdict
There’s an expressionless moment in “The Clue” where Gabriel starts to get his memory back but then backs off because “my head isn’t big enough, not anymore.” That was intriguing, and makes me want to know what’s tedious this mystery. I just with the show would step on the gas a bit, or at least make me laughable a little harder while it takes the long way around.
Good Bullet Points
Miracles are apparently measured in “Lazurai.”
We learn that Jane Austen was a spy and a diamond thief in transfer to being an author. “You think you know someone…”
There’s a subplot near a record store owner and a barista who like each anunexperienced but won’t admit it. Aziraphale and Crowley have to get them together, for sitcom-ish reasons. I don’t know if this will be important to the plot, but I did like Crowley’s strategy for playing Cupid: force to them to get caught in a rainstorm together. “Get humans wet and staring into each other’s eyes: va voom, sorted.”
Aziraphale with a fun line: “I by-elapsed my driving test 90 years ago. They didn’t even obliged tests but I insisted.”

The Witcher season 3 is at an end, and so is Henry Cavill’s time as Geralt of Rivia. For three seasons we’ve watched the actor bring the White Wolf to life onscreen. Whatever other issues people have had with The Witcher over the existences, Cavill’s performance has remained one of the most universally praised aspects of the series.
When last we see Geralt in The Witcher season 3, he’s leading his horse into the distance in contradiction of his companions Jaskier (Joey Batey) and Milva (Meng’er Zhang) at what time slaughtering a bunch of Nilfgaardian soldiers who were terrorizing the local populate. It’s a big moment for Geralt, showing that he’s finally leaving his neutrality late to wage a personal war against Nilfgaard in well-organized to save his foster daughter Ciri (Freya Allan), who he believes is in the custody of Emperor Emhyr var Emreis (Bart Edwards).
But apparently, his final scene was meant to play out a bit differently. Read on for details, which contain SPOILERS for The Witcher show and books.
The Witcher season 3 – Credit: Netflix
Reliable fansite Redanian Intelligence reports that originally, this final scene with Cavill featured another character: Cahir, the disgraced Nilfgaardian officer played by Eamon Farren. Cahir played a pivotal part in this season’s Thanedd coup, where he finally made composed with Princess Cirilla after years of hunting her.
Back when The Witcher season 3 advantageous started filming in Spring 2022, RI heard from their sources that at what time Geralt and Milva walked away from the Nilfgaardian checkpoint, “Cahir was watching them from afar.”
During the book that will form the basis for season 4, Baptism of Fire, Cahir eventually joins Geralt’s band of traveling companions, illustrious as his hansa. Including the Nilfgaardian at the end of season 3 would have foreshadowed this. Instead, we don’t see him again after Thanedd, where he continues behind to fight off the Scoia’tael and buy Ciri time to escape.
Holding back on reintroducing Cahir is more lawful to The Witcher books by Andrzej Sapkowski. Early on in Baptism of Fire, Geralt and company accidentally rescue Cahir from the Scoia’tael, who are transporting the former army officer back to Nilfgaard to answer for his betrayal. He then follows Geralt’s hansa as RI describes, watching them from afar for a at what time before Geralt allows him to officially join up.
It’s unknown whether The Witcher ever filmed this remaining scene with Cahir. For my money, leaving it out was a good harvest. Holding Cahir’s return for season 4 will allow it to be a bigger moment, and keeps the focus on Geralt during Cavill’s remaining scene of the series.
All eight episodes of The Witcher season 3 are streaming now on Netflix. Season 4 is expected to start filming sometime in early 2024.

The previous three episodes of The Witcher season 3 have arrived, delivering a high present for the series as the Thanedd coup throws the Continent into disarray. While mages, elves and soldiers battle it out at Aretuza, Geralt of Rivia (Henry Cavill) does his best to help his foster daughter Ciri (Freya Allan) speed the fray.
Things don’t quite work out how any of them seek information from. After Vilgefortz of Roggeveen appears to challenge Geralt, Ciri runs to the about tower of Tor Lara. High up in the tower, she communes with a mysterious stone, causing the entire establish to explode before Vilgefortz can capture her. Ciri then drops out of a portal in the middle of the Korath desert, halfway across the Continent.
What exactly is Tor Lara, and why did it react this way to Ciri’s power?
The Witcher season 3. Image courtesy of Netflix.
Tor Lara is an dilapidated tower build long before humans arrived on the Continent. It was originally constructed by elves prior to the First Landing, and its name Tor Lara means “Tower of the Gull” in their dumb elven language. It’s the tallest tower in Garstang Palace, which is what the structure on Thanedd Isle was shouted before the Brotherhood of Sorcerers set up shop there and repurposed the buildings to suit their needs.
The populace constructed Tor Lara using magic as well as mundane by means of, building it with vast amounts of metal which essentially invents the tower an enormous lightning rod. This is why it is able to act as a conduit for the Alzur’s Thunder inviting. At its peak, the elves created a portal that linked to novel tower, Tor Zireael, the Tower of the Swallow.
Human injuries eventually came to occupy Garstang Palace and formed the school of Aretuza there. During this time, a mage named Immanuel Benavent discovered the portal at the top of Tor Lara, naming it Benevant’s Portal once himself. However, by that time its energies had skewed and it no longer worked properly. Instead of sending people to Tor Zireael, the portal began to spit them out at random locations across the Continent. Those who went through often died or never returned.
Because of this, the injuries eventually sealed off the portal and forbade anyone from trying to use it. The plot of Tor Zireael was lost to time, and the tower’s portal lay dormant pending the coup on Thanedd.
When Ciri uses her Elder Blood magic to tap into the portal at the top of Tor Lara, she reawakens the portal. However, it’s still not working right. This is why it spat Ciri out into the sky ended Korath. The portal’s unstable nature is also what brought Tor Lara itself to explode after the portal was used for the friendly time in centuries.
All eight episodes of The Witcher season 3 are streaming now on Netflix.
This portion was written during the 2023 WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. Without the labor of the writers and actors now on strike, the series being covered here wouldn’t exist.
