House of the Dragon season 3 episode 2: More on Aegon’s journey
As we get prepared to see House of the Dragon season 3 episode 2 on HBO, is it fair to call Aegon one of the biggest x-factors? Well, we tend to think that if nothing else, this is certainly a fun thing to consider.
At this point, we recognize that the character is in a really bizarre place compared to almost everyone else. He and Larys have both fled King’s Landing, leading the two to be on what is effectively a road trip where a lot of people could capture or exploit them at any turn. Aegon is far from a perfect person, but is he fascinating to watch in this context? Sure. After all, this is a chance to see how much the events around him have shaped who he has become over time.

Speaking via Gizmodo, Tom Glynn-Carney himself indicated that this is an especially fun storyline for him to be a part of this go-around:
“There’s something that’s just inherently in there … this steely determination. A lot of that is born from a place of ego and entitlement and sort of self-sabotage and pride and all these things that sort of make him quite a complex, unpredictable bomb of a character … Almost especially because he’s been through what he’s recently been through in terms of his injuries and the way his life has changed, I feel like that could either go one or two ways. And we’ve been down the route where he’s [self-pitying] and the wallowing kind of overtakes him. We started to dip our toe into the waters of, kind of, back into the motivation and the determination. That’s not to say that that doesn’t disappear and we’re back into the self-pity, and then we’re out of it again, and there [are] lots of ups and downs. But yeah, he’s complex. He is full of rage. He’s an exciting character to play. I do have a lot of fun with him.”
Ultimately, if there is a chance for Aegon to evolve, this season is going to offer that. How it plays out, at least from our vantage point, is going to be a massive part of the fun. It could also set the table for what are some important events for other characters, as well.
