'House of the Dragon' season 3 will go experimental with a concept episode
Still, we're chomping at the bit until Rhaenyra Targaryen (Emma D'Arcy), Alicent Hightower (Olivia Cooke), Daemon Targaryen (Matt Smith) and the rest of our favorite "House of the Dragon" characters are back on screen. That's especially so now that showrunner Ryan Condal has teased a special high-concept episode to come in the new season.
While speaking to Josh Horowitz on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, the showrunner revealed that one episode of the third season will be a more "conceptual" and "character-driven" installment than "House of the Dragon" fans have seen from the HBO fantasy series so far.
'We got to have a little fun this season, and there's a conceptual episode that I'm really excited about that [Sara Hess] wrote, and that's all I'm gonna say about it," Condal shared during the podcast appearance.
"It isn't in the traditional vernacular of what we have laid out. It's very character-driven, I think it's really great and I'm really excited to see it rendered.'
Exactly which character's journey will be on the receiving end of this more experimental narrative style in the new episodes is so far unknown. Condal played coy when it came to naming names, as well as how that treatment will play out visually onscreen. But it will be interesting getting a more introspective and emotional look into a character's mindset, especially as the turmoil of a major war rages around them.
Outside of the more focused, interior look into the personalities of "House of the Dragon," the third season is set to go bigger and better with its storylines. In a previous interview with Gold Derby, Condal said: "Season 2 is huge. Season 3 is huger, in many ways.

"There are, by my quick count on stage, four major events from the book that we get to adapt and realize in three dimensions in this season. That's really exciting on a scope-and-scale perspective, and I think it's the thing the show does really well."
Tom's Guide will keep you posted on all things related to "House of the Dragon" season 3, including that aforementioned concept episode as well as new teaser trailers, plot points, character details, casting announcements and more.

The Hidden Meaning of ‘And Just Like That…'
Once upon a time, HBO aired a hit show that spun a brand-new kind of fairy tale, a glittering fantasy of single-lady life in New York City. The year was 1998. Bill Clinton was president. Donald Trump was a New York City tabloid fixture. Roe v. Wade was the law of the land. Into this brave new world strode 'Sex and the City,' the story of a quartet of glamorous New York City women who worked and dated, vacationed and shopped, went clubbing and dancing and enjoyed fulfilling casual sex — just like men! Over the next six seasons, the show offered a message both hopeful and progressive: A woman — or, at least a thin, white, financially privileged woman — could have a rich, fulfilling life, one that didn't necessarily involve a ring and a white picket fence, one where friendships, not romance or marriage, were the relationships that sustained you. You could, like Charlotte, divorce a man who looked perfect on paper, and then find yourself falling for your crass, hairy-backed, big-hearted divorce lawyer. You could, like Miranda, make partner at your law firm, become a single mother then marry your baby's father and live together in Brooklyn. You could, like Carrie, find your one true love, or you could, like Samantha, tell your handsome boyfriend that you love him but you love yourself more. You had options of the traditional and nontraditional variety, and they all included designer clothes, gorgeous shoes and great real estate. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

Ralph Lauren, ‘The Gilded Age' and Black Affluence
This summer, Ralph Lauren expanded the lens of its aspirational take on Americana with a collection inspired by the Black legacy of Oak Bluffs, a town on Martha's Vineyard. Featuring collegiate sweatshirts, patchwork jackets and coastal-inspired attire, the line, released in July, is of a piece with other portrayals of the Black elite that have recently permeated culture. The Metropolitan Museum of Art's 'Superfine: Tailoring Black Style' exhibition, the basis for this year's Met Gala, had a section on respectability and fashioning the elite. HBO's 'The Gilded Age,' in its third season, contrasted two fictional Black families: the Scotts, a newly wealthy family from Brooklyn, and the Kirklands, New Englanders who are even more entrenched in high society. These projects have highlighted the social and economic divisions among Black Americans that have existed since at least the early-to-mid-19th century, when westward expansion, industrialization and the rise of tourism in America opened new paths to education, riches and visibility. (At least for some.) And, like the Met's exhibition examining dandyism and Black men's fashion as a form of cultural power, the Polo Ralph Lauren for Oak Bluffs line and 'The Gilded Age' have started conversations about elitism and exclusion within the Black community. Online, some praised the Oak Bluffs collection ads, which feature breezy beach scenes and impeccably dressed families, for offering a vision of Black life not centered on hardship. Others saw the romanticized portrayal of Black vacationers in a rarefied enclave as out of touch. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

Hailee Steinfeld and Josh Allen Spotted on Sweet Date Night in New York, 2 Months After Tying the Knot
Hailee Steinfeld and Josh Allen are seemingly enjoying married life. On Monday, August 11, a fan account for the 28-year-old Sinners actress posted a photo of the newlyweds dining at a restaurant together on Instagram. In the candid snap, the Marvel actress could be seen holding a white napkin in her hands while wearing a black long-sleeve shirt with her hair pulled into a bun. Meanwhile, the Buffalo Bills quarterback, 29, donned a brown long-sleeve shirt. 'NEW!!!! Hailee & Josh Allen having a dinner in Buffalo, New York yesterday,' the caption read. As Star reported last week, Allen recently opened up about his wedding night in the first episode of the HBO sports docuseries Hard Knocks, which aired on Tuesday, August 5. 'Yeah, that was the best night of my life, honestly,' he gushed. 'And my wife's life, I think. That's what she says.' The Dickinson alum and the NFL star tied the knot on May 31 at San Ysidro Ranch in California, and Steinfeld reflected on the 'unforgettable' night in a June edition of her Beau Society email newsletter. 'The dance floor was popping, it was literally bowing,' she wrote per People. 'The flow of the reception was dance, speech, cry, dance, eat, dance, speech, cry, dance, etc.' Solve the daily Crossword
