Aerial Espionage
On May 1, 1960, a dramatic event unfolded in the skies over Sverdlovsk, Soviet Union. A Soviet S-75 Dvina surface-to-air missile struck an American U-2 spy plane, exposing a series of high-stakes deceptions and geopolitical blunders. In an attempt to save face, the US government concocted an elaborate cover story, claiming the downed aircraft was a NASA research plane that had suffered an in-flight emergency. This ruse included fabricated details about the pilot, Gary Powers, experiencing oxygen system problems. The deception was meticulously planned, with the entire U-2 fleet grounded for a supposed review of its oxygen systems.

Speed vs. Safety
The Technological Marvel Benjamin Franklin once famously said, “In this world, nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes.” If Franklin had lived to see the era of supersonic flight, he might have added “the relentless advance of technology” to his list. Our modern gadgets evolve rapidly: phones gain pixels, laptops get faster, and cars become more efficient. Yet, when we look back at aviation history, one aircraft stands out as a technological marvel with a controversial legacy. Enter Concorde—the supersonic jet that, despite its revolutionary technology, faced numerous challenges that ultimately led to its retirement.

Does 'House of the Dragon' Have a Pacing Issue?
In 2022, when the first season of House of the Dragon was premiering, a recurrent point of contention among fans was that the show was moving too fast. With multiple time jumps and recasts, season 1 hit the ground running, covering a lot of ground in the 10-episode span.

House of the Dragon Series Review (Season 2)
Spinning off from its wildly popular predecessor, House of the Dragon marked a return to medieval politics in 2022. It was successful in revitalising George R.R. Martin’s fiction on the small screen. Two years later and the highly anticipated second chapter has arrived. It’s generally well made, but falls short of the stellar debut.

Fire and Blood
Okay now that we are done with season 2 of House of the Dragon we can discuss all of the fun and unnecessary deviations from Fire and Blood and why they were good or bad decisions. Season one ends with the death of the sweet baby boy, Lucerys. The greens have usurped the throne and war is brewing. At the end of the first season it was anticipated that season 2 would open with a son for a son. The internet was right…kind of. I think the general consensus was that it was a little underwhelming but let’s talk about the book events that were kept, and the ones that were changed in House of the Dragon season 2.
