Straight fire.
Game of Thrones creator George R.R. Martin has said House of the Dragon Season 2 Episode 4 features the best dragon battle in entertainment history.
“A lot of you have been wanting for action, I know; this episode delivered it in spades with the Battle of Rook’s Rest, when dragon met dragon in the skies,” Martin said.

“Has there ever been a dragon battle to match it? I seem to recall that Reign of Fire had a few scenes where a dozen dragons were wheeling through the skies. So, okay, maybe that was a bigger scene, with more dragons on screen… But a better battle? I don’t think so. Our guys knocked this one out of the castle. I think they took it as a challenge.”
The latest episode certainly impressed, as it earned a 10/10 in IGN’s review. “Ferociously entertaining TV that finally delivers scale and scope as well as thorny moral dilemmas,” we said.
