So, here’s some background. After the third episode of House of the Dragon, I felt some sympathy for Otto Hightower, and as a joke I tweeted (as one does…)

New Draft: In Defense of Otto Hightower

People got so crazy about that, it was clear that I had just committed myself to writing an Otto Hightower defense.

The good folks at Watchers on the Wall did not deny me when I suggested this as a feature article, and the die was cast.

Look, I’m not going to give details on my iron-clad Otto Hightower defense, you’ll just have to check it out on the Watchers site if you’re interested.

Feel free to yell at me there in the Watchers‘ article comments, or do it here. I love getting feedback.

Images (with one edit) from HBO’s House of the Dragon (obviously.)
