House of the Dragon episode 204 release time (by each time zone)

Somehow, someway, House of the Dragon season 2 is nearing its halfway point. The stunning HBO prequel series to Game of Thrones dominated TV screens throughout its first season in 2022, and it has very quickly picked up where it left off. The second season has seen the war for the Iron Throne kick off in bloody fashion and it looks like it's all set to continue in the weeks ahead.

The third episode of the season saw Rhaenyra Targaryen attempt to reach her former friend, Queen Alicent Hightower, in King's Landing and appeal to her better judgement. It very nearly worked, as a conversation between the two eventually led to the latter realizing that she might have misunderstood her husband Viserys' dying words. But in the end, Alicent is now powerless in the game of thrones as the decision has already been made.

Is Rhaenyra's unsuccessful attempt to fix things the last straw? Is war upon King's Landing, or can it still be stopped? If you'd like to know how to watch this week's installment and get some answers, here's what you need to know.

Anyone who has watched episodes of Game of Thrones will know that the ante is always upped as the season heads towards its conclusion, and with the halfway point of House of the Dragon's sophomore season being reached this week, we can probably expect the second half of the season to be as epic as they come.

We're not ready (and we also really are so ready for it!)
