Matt Smith as Daemon Targaryen inHouse of the Dragon.Season 2 premieres on Sunday, June 16.

Which is maybe why I devouredHouse of the DragonS2 like a starving man at a wedding buffet.

Perhaps Im burying the lede.

There are many, many scenes of dragons in these episodes.

But I found what you might crudely call the money shots pleasingly controlled and choreographed.

Weve been feeding on scraps out here in mid TV world.

Now comes a banquet.
