House of the Dragon season 3, episode 5 foreshadows an major book death
In the episode, Ser Criston Cole walks for miles with the green army and Alicent Hightower's brother, Gwayne Hightower. Towards the end of the episode, Gwayne realizes that Criston is in fact hoping to march to his death.
Criston gives a rousing speech, in which he declares, "I am the realm's greatest warrior, and I will die as such, clear-eyed, unbent, glorious in battle, and not in their service, finally, but in my own." He even hopes songs of his death reach Alicent.
However, George R.R. Martin's Fire and Blood reveals a different fate for the Kingsguard knight. He and his host are confronted by the black army, and Criston unsuccessfully tries to negotiate for the lives of his men if he surrenders.
Criston then tries to battle against his three challengers, declaring, "One of me against three of you. Will that be enough to make a fight of it?" But, he doesn't get the epic death he wants. One member of Team Black, Longleaf the Lionslayer, signals archers and three arrows swiftly strike Criston dead.
"I'll have no songs about how brave you died, Kingmaker," says Longleaf. "There's tens o' thousands dead on your account."
So, Criston's grand hopes in this episode all come to nothing, because an anticlimactic death is awaiting him... and no songs will reach Alicent.
House of the Dragon continues weekly on HBO in the US and HBO Max, Sky, and NOW in the UK. Keep up to date with our House of the Dragon season 3 release schedule.

Nintendo kunngjør en stor Donkey Kong-kosedukke som koster like mye som en Switch 2-konsoll
Nintendo blir ofte ansett som flinke til å ta en høy pris for produktene sine, og mange trekker paralleller til Apple. Uansett hva som er tilfelle, kan vi bare konkludere med at deres nyeste produkt definitivt ikke er for alle, inkludert alle som ikke tjener en topplederlønn.
De lanserer en ganske stor (H76,5 × B70 × D136 cm) Donkey Kong -kosedyr via Nintendo Store 12. november, og du kan forhåndsbestille den allerede nå... for 395,99 £ / 469,99 € – som er nøyaktig samme pris som den samme butikken tar for en Switch 2-konsoll. Nintendo sier at det er en begrensning på én per person, men vi tviler på at det er mange som er villige til å avlyse ferien, selge bilen, ta opp boliglån og legge en nyre ut for salg på eBay bare for å kjøpe to.
Hvis du absolutt må ha en, kan du forhåndsbestille kosedyret her; resten av oss kan foreløpig nøye oss med å beundre denne ubestridelig sjarmerende lille fyren på bildene.
Tomb Raider firar sitt 30-årsjubileum medelst elegant samarbete med Gunnar Optiks
Om vi tänker på alla ikoniska spelkaraktärer som bär solglasögon är det få som är lika minnesvärda som Lara Croft och hennes klassiska modell. De stilrena bågarna har varit en del av hennes utseende i generationer och syntes senast när Sophie Turner bar dem under en fotografering där hon visade upp sin tolkning av Lara Croft i Amazons kommande Tomb Raider-serie.
Nu har Gunnar Optiks presenterat ett par nya gaming-glasögon inspirerade av Lara Croft och hennes många gravplundringsäventyr. Tomb Raider Croft Glasses har tagits fram i samarbete med Tomb Raider-utvecklaren Crystal Dynamics och finns med fyra olika linsalternativ: Amber, Amber Max, Amber Sun Shift och Sun. Glasögonen har en rund silhuett, bronsfärgade detaljer, bågar i rostfritt stål och Gunnars teknik för att filtrera bort blått ljus.
Varje par Tomb Raider Croft Glasses levereras dessutom med samlarföremål i form av en exklusiv pin (i begränsad upplaga) föreställandes en Xian-dolk, samt ett särskilt glasögonfodral, en rengöringsduk och en förvaringspåse.
