“That’s not who we are,” Nori tells her friend Poppy Proudfellow (Megan Richards), when the latter suggests they abandon a naked star-man in the meteor crater he created.

Booking a vacation is highly personal. Are you seeking some R&R on a white sandy beach? Looking for a spiritual journey to connect with nature?

I was only five years old when Princess Diana died. My memory of her death—and life—is very limited.

I hope you’re in the mood for seafood, because House of the Dragon’s second episode opens with a hefty serving of crab.
