Speaker 2: We see the migration of the Tigerians to the west.

Speaker 2: We see Eggon's conquests of west of Us. We see

Speaker 2: his birding of Heron Hall. We see Torren, the King

Speaker 2: who knelt. We see Maygor, the cruel dying on the throne.

Speaker 2: We see the Great Council of one oh one, which

00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 2: began our series the first episode of season one of

55
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 2: House the Dragon, and then we see the Black versus

57
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 2: in the North Rosie, and what a wonderful place to

58
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:29,800
Speaker 2: return to.

59
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 3: I know, what a surprise. I mean, did you expect

60
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 3: to see them go to the wall this alley?

61
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 2: I was surprised by it. Yeah, and I loved it.

62
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 2: It was real emotional feeling to watch that raven flying

63
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 2: over the hills to Winterfell and then beyond to Castle

64
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 2: Black in the Wall.

65
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 1: It was amazing. How did you feel watching that?

66
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 3: Yeah? I thought it was a pretty brave swing to

67
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 3: just staw in it space that is so well known

68
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 3: for get to Game of Thrones fans. It's exciting I

69
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 3: also think it's the reason I think it's brave is

70
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 3: because realistically we're not gonna necessarily be spending more time there,

71
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 3: so I think to be like boom, here's the Wall

72
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,160
Speaker 3: and to introduce Crag and Stark, and I think it's

73
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 3: really cool. I was. I was very impacted by it,

74
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 3: especially post you know, that great new credit sequence where

75
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 3: you get the theme that we know so well, you know,

76
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 3: and then it kind of takes you back to those

77
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 3: heydays of Game of Thrones.

78
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:36,280
Speaker 2: So we're up here because Jusa's young Jase is you know,

79
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 2: out here making his pitch to the young Lord of

80
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 2: Winterfel Lord Craign's Stark, the Warden of the North. They're

81
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:47,839
Speaker 2: at Castle Black. Stark is talking about his family history

82
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:51,599
Speaker 2: and we learned that it's late summer. Winter is really

83
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 2: and truly coming, which is approaching. And that being the case,

84
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 2: one of the ways that the North prepares for winter

85
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 2: is they need to kind of like lay off any

86
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:08,719
Speaker 2: extraneous mouths. So they will send one out of ten

87
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 2: members of the Stark household will go to Castle Black

88
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 2: to kind of you know, lower costs, lower the bleed

89
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:22,559
Speaker 2: on resources older warriors. Third, second and perhaps even third

90
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:26,360
Speaker 2: and fourth sons, extra children. They will look for fights

91
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,600
Speaker 2: elsewhere in the kingdom. They will look to leave so

92
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 2: they won't be a burden on their families. And this

93
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 2: is part of the deal that Jase strikes.

94
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:37,280
Speaker 1: With Craig and Stark.

95
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 2: Craign Stark says, hey, I'll send you a couple thousand

96
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:44,479
Speaker 2: of my old graveyards warriors or seasoned warriors. They're not

97
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 2: going to want to be up here during the winter time,

98
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 2: so they will go south with you.

99
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 1: And they will they will really fight.

100
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:53,720
Speaker 2: Interesting note, I want to I want to ask you

101
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:57,039
Speaker 2: about this, Roseanne. I want to raise this for our

102
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 2: book reading audience. So in this really interesting conversation, they're

103
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:04,720
Speaker 2: talking about Torren Stark, who was king during Agon's invasion.

104
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:05,599
Speaker 1: Invasion.

105
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 2: He was He's known as the King who Knelt because

106
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:13,359
Speaker 2: rather than continue the fight, he surrendered to Eggon and

107
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:17,279
Speaker 2: effectively ended the invasion the war for west Ros and

108
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 2: Eggon was victorious. And they also talk about the visit

109
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:26,359
Speaker 2: of old King Jaharis and Queen Alison. Alison was particularly

110
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 2: beloved by Northerners because she increased the size of the

111
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 2: gift to the area of land, the strip of land

112
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:36,599
Speaker 2: south of the Wall that the Black Brothers used to

113
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 2: support themselves. So Jay says to Craig and he's as

114
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:43,919
Speaker 2: they're riding up in the ovators, like, oh, I like

115
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 2: to think about, you know, right here, our ancestors. They

116
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:50,159
Speaker 2: were just talking about Tornstar, And He's saying, you know,

117
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 2: I like to think about, you know, in this very

118
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 2: place like our ancestors had, you know, they met. And

119
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 2: then Craigan's like, well, I'm glad that you're not threatening

120
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:01,159
Speaker 2: me with your dragons this time. So I was confused

121
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:06,159
Speaker 2: because really, when j Harris and Alison came, according to

122
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:08,360
Speaker 2: the histories, well according to everything we know about, that

123
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 2: was not like a aggressive visit. It was like an embassy.

124
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 2: It was like a royal tour essentially, and no one

125
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 2: was threatening anybody with dragons.

126
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 1: And that was not that long. It was several decades back.

127
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 2: But the meeting between Eggon and Torren Stark when Torren

128
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 2: Nelt happened way way south of the Wall, did not

129
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 2: happen there. So I was like a little I bumped

130
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 2: a little bit on what they were talking about there.

131
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 2: And I'd love some input from our book reading listeners.

132
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 3: I would say, book readers definitely kind of jump in

133
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 3: there because there's been a lot of theorizing about like

134
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 3: why torren nelt, you know, like was it because he'd

135
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 3: heard of the Field of Fire? Was it because he

136
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 3: was scared of the dragons? Was it? You know? When

137
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 3: House Dragon came out, people were like, was it because

138
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 3: of the prophecy? But as me and you have talked about,

139
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 3: I don't think they just don't think.

140
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 1: I think they kept that very tight. Yeah, I came

141
00:07:59,040 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 1: out it was very tight.

142
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 3: This is definitely really interesting because this becomes one of

143
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 3: the issues with adapting something people know so well is

144
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 3: you can't really have a throwaway line yeah, because we're

145
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 3: always gonna dig into it. I'm interested to see if

146
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 3: they build on this specific note anymore. And I'm also

147
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 3: interested that they introduced the Jason Craigan relationship, Like, now.

148
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 1: Young hot lords, you.

149
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 3: Enjoying things. I mean, I think they already have it,

150
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 3: Like people are already shipping it.

151
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:37,559
Speaker 2: Listen, They're gonna get along famously.

152
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 1: Those two.

153
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 2: We go to Dragonstone, where Renice, the Queen who Never was,

154
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:46,160
Speaker 2: is taking a break after patrolling the Narrow Sea on

155
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 2: her own. She's doing that in order to hold the

156
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 2: blockade of King's Landing, which Corliss's navy is holding in place.

157
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 2: Damon meanwhile, is like, get back on your dragon. We're

158
00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 2: getting at it. We're going to King's Landing. We're gonna

159
00:08:59,240 --> 00:08:59,560
Speaker 2: me and you.

160
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 1: We're gonna take on Va right now. We're gonna do

161
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 1: it right now, dude.

162
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 3: And Rainie's is like, just shut the fuck up.

163
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 2: Like I need, I need, male needs lunch.

164
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 3: Also, she doesn't want to like go and kill a king,

165
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 3: you know, like it's just not a good idea to

166
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:21,720
Speaker 3: kill the other royal family. Rainie's already made a choice

167
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:24,080
Speaker 3: to not burn the Green to the ground. Do I

168
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 3: agree with that choice? Probably not, honestly. Now she I

169
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 3: might be on Damon's side there, it would have been

170
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 3: a good idea. And I appreciate her mindset, her more

171
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:37,959
Speaker 3: peaceful treaties focused mindset. She knows the war is gonna happen,

172
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 3: but she doesn't have to be a serial killer within

173
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 3: the war yet, which Damon he would just love to.

174
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 3: I also love how much here Renie is like so

175
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:49,679
Speaker 3: empowered by the fact there is a female queen even

176
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 3: though they're not on side, that she just doesn't give

177
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 3: a ship what Damon says like, this scene is so

178
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:57,080
Speaker 3: good because he really thinks he can kind of force

179
00:09:57,160 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 3: her into this thing, and she just doesn't pay him

180
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:00,959
Speaker 3: any mind.

181
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:05,839
Speaker 2: So Damon is uh, you know, grabbing the steering roll

182
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 2: right now because Reniera, who has just lost her son

183
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 2: Luke in the attack that we saw at the end

184
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 2: of season one in which aimoned one eye and Vagar

185
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 2: chop down on Luke and little Arax that happened mere

186
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:24,440
Speaker 2: days ago, and she is looking for Luke's body in

187
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 2: order to confirm that this actually happened. Yeah, unfortunately it's

188
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:30,559
Speaker 2: leaving a leadership vacuum over at Team Black.

189
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 3: Yes, not the best choice, Like RINERA, I love you.

190
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 3: This is very sad. You should be able to mourn.

191
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:40,439
Speaker 2: No, we need to be here. I think we need

192
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:44,320
Speaker 2: to be here right now anyway. So Damon is like, hey,

193
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 2: I'm ordering you to go with me to King's landing,

194
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 2: and Rainey's is like, well, you're not King, so so sorry.

195
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 2: On Drift, Mark Corlis is inspecting his flagship.

196
00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:58,679
Speaker 3: He looks like he's doing great, by the way, for

197
00:10:58,800 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 3: someone that we thought was dead.

198
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 2: He was really on death's door for much of season one.

199
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:08,080
Speaker 2: He speaks to Alan, a sailor who we learn as

200
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:11,320
Speaker 2: the man who dragged him from the water saved Corliss's life,

201
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 2: and it seems like there's a connection there that goes

202
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:17,479
Speaker 2: beyond just like a leader and one of his soldiers.

203
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 2: Alan gives Corlis a dagger that was delivered there for him,

204
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 2: and Corlis had intended it to give to his former

205
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:29,319
Speaker 2: heir Luke, who is now deceased. On kings Landing, Arak

206
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:33,960
Speaker 2: Era Rik Carlile, one of the arak Eric twins.

207
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:35,599
Speaker 1: And by the way, here's.

208
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:37,200
Speaker 2: How I do this if you want to if you're

209
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:40,439
Speaker 2: always mixing them up. Eric a for Allison Green.

210
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 1: Oh, so I do.

211
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 3: That's really good.

212
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:43,200
Speaker 1: I like that.

213
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:47,320
Speaker 2: So Eric Carlisle of the King's Guard is manning the

214
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:50,200
Speaker 2: air defense, and we see like the Red Keep and

215
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 2: kings Landing is on high alert.

216
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:53,440
Speaker 1: They're just big.

217
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:57,440
Speaker 2: They got big crossbow aimed skyward and they're waiting if

218
00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:00,319
Speaker 2: any dragon is sighted above, they're ready to go. King

219
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 2: Egon is looking for his son, Prince Jiharis. Wants to

220
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 2: bring him to a small council meeting so he can

221
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:10,079
Speaker 2: learn to be king. Queen Helena says, well, what if

222
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 2: he doesn't want to be king? And Eggon is like,

223
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 2: don't worry about it, He's gonna be Meanwhile, Queen Helena,

224
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:19,880
Speaker 2: in one of those interesting kind of throwaway comments that

225
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:23,319
Speaker 2: she is fond of making that always seem to hit

226
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 2: home somehow, tells Eggon and the assembled headmaidens there that

227
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:30,320
Speaker 2: she's worried about quote the rats.

228
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:35,599
Speaker 3: Yes, and everybody thinks she's saying just complete wild nonsense

229
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:38,080
Speaker 3: as usual. But I will also say I think these

230
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:40,199
Speaker 3: two things together where she says, well, if he does

231
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:43,320
Speaker 3: not want to be king and the rats, you're really

232
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:46,079
Speaker 3: looking at Helena as someone who has nailed it again,

233
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:51,200
Speaker 3: nailed it again, and has very specific views on how

234
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:54,200
Speaker 3: a kingdom should be run and the cost of a kingdom,

235
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:57,440
Speaker 3: how much it costs a king to be king, which

236
00:12:57,480 --> 00:12:59,440
Speaker 3: will come to fruition later.

237
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 2: Look back at season one, she predicted that Aimond would

238
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 2: claim Vagars said he would gain a dragon but lose

239
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 2: an eye. She predicted that Renie would burst out from

240
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 2: the floor of the dragon pit on top of Melee's

241
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 2: the beast beneath the boards.

242
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:18,680
Speaker 1: And more and more and more.

243
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:23,440
Speaker 2: Book readers will know that there's really no mention of

244
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 2: Helena's prophetic powers in the books. Which raises the possibility

245
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 2: that no one ever notices that she keeps on safe.

246
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:31,560
Speaker 1: Yeah.

247
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:35,360
Speaker 3: I like the idea that historically this woman who was

248
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:37,959
Speaker 3: like could have been an incredibly powerful piece of the

249
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 3: Kingdoms and the Greens like war game, is just so

250
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:46,320
Speaker 3: ignored that she never even ended up being noticed in

251
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:49,200
Speaker 3: history for it. You know, I think that's really smart.

252
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 2: Meanwhile, the hottest brunch spot in King's landing is the

253
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 2: Queen's legs.

254
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:57,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, we go to the King's chambers, do it for you?

255
00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:00,680
Speaker 3: Look, I never I know, I don't want to hand

256
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:03,640
Speaker 3: it to Kristen Cole, but in this case, at least

257
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:06,559
Speaker 3: Jamaican Allison happy.

258
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 1: Well he's not. Yeah, that's right.

259
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 2: The dowards of Queen als in High Tower is getting

260
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:13,720
Speaker 2: topped by none other than Lord Commander of the King's Guard,

261
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 2: Christian Cole, and they both decide.

262
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:18,920
Speaker 1: We can never ever do this again.

263
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 2: That's it, the last time we do this, and of

264
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 2: course we get it definitely.

265
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:24,160
Speaker 3: Yeah.

266
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 2: Eggon presides over a small council meeting with young Prince

267
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 2: of Jaharis in tow Otto is delivering some bad news.

268
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 2: The Valain in the north appear to have gone over

269
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 2: to the Blacks, not to worry though, because the storm

270
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 2: lands appear solidly green, because Aimond is soon to wed

271
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 2: Flora's Brathian Old Town's army will soon be on the march,

272
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 2: the river lands are firmly within the crown sites. All

273
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 2: those kind of still up for grabs, what with old

274
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 2: Lord Paramount Grover Tully kind of being a question mark

275
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:01,680
Speaker 2: at this particular time. Will that the Black Blockade is

276
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:04,960
Speaker 2: certainly taking a toll on the King's landing economy, and

277
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 2: that we need a master of ships right now because uh,

278
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 2: naval warfare is a thing that the Crown is going

279
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 2: to have to deal with. Aimon enters he's been invited

280
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:18,480
Speaker 2: by his brother Eggon, even though he wasn't invited, and

281
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 2: he immediately just starts pitching ideas like we go to

282
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 2: the river lands, we take Haron Hall, we secure the

283
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:28,160
Speaker 2: crown lands, and Eggon loves it. He Eggon is like

284
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:31,040
Speaker 2: me and my bro we rise the dragons out.

285
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 1: Let's just fucking gla shit.

286
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 2: Love it. It's awesome. Everybody's like, King, you can't go

287
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 2: to war. We're fighting for you. If you die, it's over.

288
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:44,520
Speaker 3: You are you fool? And it's very I think we

289
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 3: get a great insight here. You know, we've heard so

290
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 3: much about the dance and the dragons and Tiger Tagari

291
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:51,360
Speaker 3: and madness and stuff. But I think something that I

292
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:56,000
Speaker 3: really like about the way that they're bringing Eggon and

293
00:15:56,040 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 3: aim And into this. Obviously Aimon psycho like the child.

294
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 3: I do feel like it wasn't on purpose, but Eggon

295
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:05,800
Speaker 3: is like he is still a kid, Like he wants

296
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:09,120
Speaker 3: to have Prince Jaharah's there. He wants to humiliate people

297
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 3: with Prince Jaharah's. He wants to have Prince Harris ride

298
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 3: on people's backs. He's not taking this seriously. He doesn't

299
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 3: take the war seriously.

300
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:18,680
Speaker 2: Tayland Lanister is a fucking exactly.

301
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:22,400
Speaker 3: I'm saying, Yeah, I'm like, let the kids be riding

302
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:24,520
Speaker 3: him as a horse. But also you get a really

303
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 3: great insight here into you thought that you were going

304
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 3: to be able to control these kids, but it's just

305
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 3: not the case because you did make him king.

306
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 2: It's funny because Egguns a piece of shit. I don't

307
00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 2: like him, but I found his the the warmth with

308
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 2: which he deals with his kids. You know, I guess

309
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:46,280
Speaker 2: he kind of he basically ignores Princess Jahara, but like

310
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:47,600
Speaker 2: he's very warm with j.

311
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 3: Harrison's Prince Jah Harrison. I found that interesting.

312
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 2: I found that to be very very winning. Otto and Allison,

313
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 2: of course, agree that the brothers plan is way to

314
00:16:56,840 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 2: aggressive diplomacy is working. Auto says, I'm saying I've got

315
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 2: letters out and it's working. And yes, Aim and killing Luke,

316
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 2: who's a fucking mistake.

317
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:07,960
Speaker 1: We can admit that here the.

318
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:11,320
Speaker 3: Privacy and don't need him to do anything else.

319
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 2: He's yeah, but but like, let's not compound those mistakes

320
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 2: by sending Vigor out to war. Let's keep Vigor near

321
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:20,720
Speaker 2: the capitol to dissuade Raniera's dragons. Laris has a word

322
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:23,600
Speaker 2: with Allison, and it's clear from the way that he

323
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:25,640
Speaker 2: speaks to her and says he was trying to reach

324
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:27,639
Speaker 2: her previously but couldn't get a hold of her.

325
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:29,040
Speaker 1: That he knows about the queen.

326
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:31,159
Speaker 3: And call, and he's upset because he used to be

327
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:32,800
Speaker 3: the one who is getting to look at those feet.

328
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 3: That's done.

329
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 1: Those days are gone.

330
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:38,960
Speaker 3: Those days are ova because now Kristen calls in the room,

331
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:43,679
Speaker 3: he and he assures the Queen that foreign spies have

332
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 3: been cleansed.

333
00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 2: From the Red Keep and all of her royal staff

334
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:53,080
Speaker 2: has been replaced with people that he has personally vetted

335
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 2: aka their spies for Laris exactly.

336
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:58,160
Speaker 3: Also, I just want to say this, it was only

337
00:17:58,200 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 3: on like the second off that I'd watch where I

338
00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:03,399
Speaker 3: was like, oh, this is a bad time to have

339
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:07,240
Speaker 3: told Allison that you've replaced everyone on her stuff. I'm

340
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:11,119
Speaker 3: just saying you didn't think through. I know Laris is

341
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 3: gonna he's gonna make his play. He wants to be

342
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 3: that guy with the power, and he thinks this is

343
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:18,639
Speaker 3: how to do it. But it was bad timing, my friend,

344
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:19,639
Speaker 3: it was bad timing.

345
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:24,960
Speaker 2: Raniera finally locates Luke's cloak somewhere off the coast, wrapped

346
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:25,920
Speaker 2: in Araxi's wing.

347
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:27,280
Speaker 3: I thought this was very sweet.

348
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:31,359
Speaker 2: Actually yeah, it's very, very, very very tough to watch

349
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:34,919
Speaker 2: egg on. We get to watch him a ruling for

350
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:36,720
Speaker 2: the first time. He's hearing petitions from.

351
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:38,960
Speaker 3: The small folk, and he's trying to help him.

352
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:42,159
Speaker 2: I think he's he's gotta He clearly wants to be

353
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 2: liked by the small folk.

354
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 1: He's like canceling taxes and stuff.

355
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:48,920
Speaker 2: Otto is like, listen, we can't cancel taxes because we're

356
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:49,480
Speaker 2: at war.

357
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:50,919
Speaker 3: And we need to And he's like, look, we need to.

358
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 3: We need to steal this man's sheep so we can

359
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:57,520
Speaker 3: give it to somebody else, Like, you know.

360
00:18:57,520 --> 00:18:58,040
Speaker 1: We need it.

361
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:00,560
Speaker 2: Listen, the dragons don't run on gas, they on sheet,

362
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 2: so we need it. Pew the Hammer, who is a

363
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:07,120
Speaker 2: blacksmith in the realm, comes up and he's like, listen,

364
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:10,240
Speaker 2: iron prices are going up. Can the realm pay up

365
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 2: front rather than at the back end upon delivery, because

366
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:15,960
Speaker 2: like we got to buy, we were having to invest.

367
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:17,040
Speaker 1: More to get the iron now.

368
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 2: And I think, in one of Eggon's best moments ever,

369
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:24,000
Speaker 2: he basically agrees, Okay, we're going to pay up front now.

370
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 2: And when Auto goes to say, no, don't do that,

371
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:29,240
Speaker 2: he says, well, we need he He kind of talks

372
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:32,560
Speaker 2: over him and says, you know, the small folk are

373
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:36,400
Speaker 2: integral to our wartime victory. And Auto is like, oh, yeah,

374
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:37,680
Speaker 2: you're right, and he turns around.

375
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 3: Laris Egon, why' is he winning so many He's winning

376
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:43,159
Speaker 3: so many points from me right now? He's awful, but

377
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 3: he's just he's doing the right thing.

378
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:45,359
Speaker 1: He is.

379
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:50,080
Speaker 2: Laris then pulls the king aside and not really suddenly

380
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:52,600
Speaker 2: at all, attempts to drive a wedge between the king

381
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:56,240
Speaker 2: and Auto High Tower, who I'm sure Lari's views as

382
00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:58,360
Speaker 2: a rival years because.

383
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:01,240
Speaker 3: He's trying to be handed the king.

384
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:04,440
Speaker 2: Otto and Allison catch up. The Queen wants more support

385
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:06,200
Speaker 2: from Otto and try to reign in the King and

386
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:10,159
Speaker 2: Amon's worst instincts, a goal they both share along with

387
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 2: winning the war. And I think this is one of

388
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:16,040
Speaker 2: again Alison's best moments in the series, where Otto basically goes.

389
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 1: You know what, you're right, You're right, you're right. I'll

390
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:18,679
Speaker 1: stop doing that.

391
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:22,800
Speaker 3: Because she is lunch. People underestimate her because she's just

392
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 3: like laysing around the palace getting eaten out by Kristen

393
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:28,760
Speaker 3: Cole when her you know, her son just killed her

394
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:33,679
Speaker 3: ex bestes like child. But I will say Allison has

395
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:35,720
Speaker 3: learned to play the game, and we get to see

396
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:38,199
Speaker 3: that here in such a Again, the show's just killing it,

397
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:41,639
Speaker 3: expanding on Alison's character and building her up from this

398
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:46,440
Speaker 3: kind of bit two dimensional villain into an actually complex character.

399
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:49,680
Speaker 3: And I love that we're starting to see Otto maybe

400
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:52,120
Speaker 3: realize that he doesn't have.

401
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:55,440
Speaker 2: He needs her, I don't needs her, and I think

402
00:20:55,480 --> 00:21:00,240
Speaker 2: Otto realizes, like, yeah, I've lost control of this a

403
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:04,120
Speaker 2: little bit. We didn't want full out war to break out,

404
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:08,920
Speaker 2: and here is Luke, Rania's child getting murdered by us.

405
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:12,360
Speaker 1: That's terrible. How do we come back from this?

406
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:14,640
Speaker 2: I need all the allies I can get, That includes

407
00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:20,359
Speaker 2: my daughter Alison. During blockade activities, Eric Sir Eric and

408
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:24,720
Speaker 2: the Valerian Navy discover Missari, who's trying desperately to flee

409
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:28,359
Speaker 2: back east. They bring her to Damon on Dragonstone. She

410
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:31,639
Speaker 2: reveals she has no allegiance to the Greens, but you

411
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 2: know it was working for them because it was a

412
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:38,440
Speaker 2: business decision. And Damon throws her in the dungeons for treason,

413
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:41,240
Speaker 2: and Damon is just generally like, not in a great mood.

414
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:44,879
Speaker 2: Near returns, speaking of not a great Moodner returns to

415
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 2: Dragonstone with Luke's remains. Damon immediately is like, hey, did

416
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 2: you find what you need to find? She's like yes,

417
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:55,400
Speaker 2: and he's like, okay, let's hit the riverlands. I will

418
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:59,919
Speaker 2: go to Harron Hall establish our toll. Let's fucking go wartime, baby,

419
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:04,360
Speaker 2: like it's happening, we're here. Renie is like, the blockade

420
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:07,080
Speaker 2: is going great, what do you want to do? The

421
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:12,560
Speaker 2: Queen utters The only line of dialogue in the entire unbelievable,

422
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:16,119
Speaker 2: which is that she wants Aiman Targarian a prince for

423
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:16,480
Speaker 2: a prince.

424
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:19,000
Speaker 1: Now, let me just stop and say again, I believe

425
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:20,800
Speaker 1: he is in the right. I love her.

426
00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:25,720
Speaker 2: Similar to my critique that I know it's hard, but

427
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:28,040
Speaker 2: if you're the queen, you kind of can't disappear for

428
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:29,240
Speaker 2: multiple days.

429
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:33,960
Speaker 1: You gotta give a more detailed explanation. Yeah, exactly.

430
00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:38,879
Speaker 2: You can't just give an open ended name like with

431
00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:42,480
Speaker 2: no other directions and then walk away.

432
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:47,760
Speaker 3: Especially because her words have massive impact. You can't just

433
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:51,359
Speaker 3: say something like that without explaining it. It is going

434
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:54,280
Speaker 3: to end up becoming a problem. We have had this

435
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 3: happen before, where you make a statement and somebody can

436
00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:00,359
Speaker 3: take it the way they want. Guess how you didn't

437
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:02,440
Speaker 3: end up on the throne. It was because your dad

438
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:04,800
Speaker 3: said something that was taken out of context, because nobody

439
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 3: had the context around it. And that is why Aggon

440
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:11,399
Speaker 3: is now on the throne. You gotta I have to say,

441
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:15,000
Speaker 3: Emma Dossi is so freaking good.

442
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:18,480
Speaker 1: Like this, the heartbreak you feel, the emotion.

443
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:23,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, Emma Dossie is so good. That performance is incredible.

444
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 2: Damon takes that instruction and he runs with it without

445
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:29,919
Speaker 2: checking with a queen or anybody. He goes to Masaria

446
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:32,640
Speaker 2: and strikes a deal and it says, okay, let's here's

447
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:36,439
Speaker 2: what we're gonna do. I will not execute you. I

448
00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:39,040
Speaker 2: will allow you to go wherever you want to s

449
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:44,359
Speaker 2: us whatever. In return for intelligence, I need help getting

450
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:47,600
Speaker 2: into King's landing and finding someone who can get into

451
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:51,000
Speaker 2: the Red Keep and kill Amon Targariant. Jase returns with

452
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:54,760
Speaker 2: news from his embassies to the North and the Veil,

453
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 2: and both of those regions have come to their side.

454
00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:01,159
Speaker 2: The Veil will want to Dragon to patrol the area.

455
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:03,159
Speaker 2: We can work that out later. But of course both

456
00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 2: he and his mother are devastated, shattered. I love this

457
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:11,400
Speaker 2: scene at the news of Luke's death and they embrace

458
00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:13,560
Speaker 2: and it's it's very, very sad.

459
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:16,080
Speaker 3: You get to see them as a family and a

460
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:18,600
Speaker 3: mother and a son not involved in the Game of

461
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:21,880
Speaker 3: Thrones at all. They don't in that moment. They're just broken,

462
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:25,480
Speaker 3: And yeah, I thought that was really amazing. And my

463
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:29,280
Speaker 3: favorite scene in the Hole show is actually coming up

464
00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:31,680
Speaker 3: next because it adds to my Allison bias.

465
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:36,760
Speaker 2: So after this, the Luke's funeral takes place on Dragonstone

466
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:42,159
Speaker 2: with Jace holding Raina, they cremate Luke's remains. Meanwhile, in

467
00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:45,439
Speaker 2: King's landing, Allison is lighting candles for all of the fallen,

468
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:47,880
Speaker 2: and she lights a candle for Luke, which I think

469
00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:50,760
Speaker 2: is very well of Alison.

470
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:53,840
Speaker 3: I just look. I know it's never gonna happen. I know,

471
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:56,120
Speaker 3: even the smallest changes, as we are going to talk

472
00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:57,960
Speaker 3: about soon when we come to the end of this episode,

473
00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:02,480
Speaker 3: make people mad. They upset people, But I do they

474
00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:06,280
Speaker 3: have done such a good job adapting this book, which

475
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:09,960
Speaker 3: is so depressing and nothing good is gonna come of it,

476
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:13,640
Speaker 3: but I still end up when I watch scenes like that,

477
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:18,200
Speaker 3: there is still a potential that feels like there could

478
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:20,439
Speaker 3: be a hopeful ending, or that we would get Rinier

479
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:22,960
Speaker 3: and Allison coming together and getting rid of all these

480
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:25,520
Speaker 3: men who use them. It's not gonna happen, but that's

481
00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:27,640
Speaker 3: how good the writing is on this show, and how

482
00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:31,440
Speaker 3: good these subtle moments that Olivia Cook kind of presents

483
00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:35,120
Speaker 3: Alison as this more holistic human. Nobody's there to see

484
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:37,800
Speaker 3: that She's not doing that for show. That's something that

485
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:39,560
Speaker 3: matters to her, and I just thought that was such

486
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:40,439
Speaker 3: a powerful moment.

487
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 2: So Damon seeks a sure using Missari's info, and he

488
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:48,600
Speaker 2: locates a certain captain of the City Watch who hates

489
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 2: the high towers. Pays this guy a lot of money

490
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:58,200
Speaker 2: to locate a rat catcher, who are paired together the

491
00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:02,640
Speaker 2: city Watch captain and the rat catcher to go into

492
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:08,119
Speaker 2: the Red Keep through the famous Tunnels of Magor in

493
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:12,639
Speaker 2: order to find and locate and kill Aimon Targarian. What

494
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:18,920
Speaker 2: if we can't find him, they ask, and Damon has

495
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:21,399
Speaker 2: no answer on screen, but we would imagine that he

496
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:25,520
Speaker 2: says something like just to kill anybody you find, or

497
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:29,000
Speaker 2: especially if it's a prince Laya.

498
00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:31,679
Speaker 3: We learn that. I think his exact words that we

499
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:34,479
Speaker 3: don't hear are like, no gold without a head, so

500
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:36,919
Speaker 3: you'll get If there's a head, you get gold. If

501
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:38,280
Speaker 3: there's not a head, you don't get gold.

502
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:44,800
Speaker 2: Yeah. Aimond and Chris Cole are scheming. They're hanging out

503
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:49,080
Speaker 2: in Amon's room scheming. They have an aggressive planet of attack.

504
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 2: This plan exists only in their heads, but they like,

505
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:57,159
Speaker 2: we hit these little po dunk castles Rosby and Stokeworth

506
00:26:57,200 --> 00:26:59,080
Speaker 2: in the crown Lands, and we hit hair and Hall.

507
00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:01,720
Speaker 1: And we take the river Le. We win the war.

508
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:05,360
Speaker 2: And they realize with frustration that no one wants them

509
00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:08,960
Speaker 2: to get involved, and Aimond is also pretty annoyed that

510
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:12,440
Speaker 2: everybody's blaming him for starting it, which he did even

511
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:17,399
Speaker 2: don't fuck up, Yes, I'm sorry you start started the

512
00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:18,639
Speaker 2: war again.

513
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:23,440
Speaker 3: I'm really loving these moments of showing how young and

514
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:26,520
Speaker 3: childish these people are who are supposed to be in

515
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:29,000
Speaker 3: charge of the kingdom. It's literally like they're sitting in

516
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:32,080
Speaker 3: there doing like armchair sports commentary, like oh, you could

517
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:33,720
Speaker 3: do this and then you know, have him do a

518
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:35,800
Speaker 3: layup and and yeah, and it would be really great.

519
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:37,320
Speaker 3: It's like, you guys don't know what you're talking about.

520
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:39,920
Speaker 3: You literally have no idea. Kristen Cole, don't even get

521
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:42,120
Speaker 3: me started on you. You're still just out here chatting

522
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:44,119
Speaker 3: mad shit on Reniera. You're just still bitter.

523
00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:44,920
Speaker 1: By the way.

524
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:49,280
Speaker 2: Amond also thinks that Alison, his mother, is soft and reneera,

525
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:51,879
Speaker 2: which I think is an ominous thing for him to

526
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:57,400
Speaker 2: think and could be close real uh problems for Alison.

527
00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:01,920
Speaker 2: He says of his mother, her grace speaks with two tongues,

528
00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 2: and Kristen call is like, no, no, she's only talking

529
00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:11,680
Speaker 2: with one tongue, Like.

530
00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:14,480
Speaker 3: How are they gonna so do they do? They do that? Okay,

531
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:16,680
Speaker 3: so let me ask you this. Do the kids know?

532
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:21,560
Speaker 3: Do the boys know that he is fucking the mom? Definitely? No?

533
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:28,400
Speaker 1: What is the only people? Claris? That's it? Nobody else feel.

534
00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:30,120
Speaker 3: Like they would have. It's like funny because he's trying

535
00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:32,680
Speaker 3: to take on some like cool uncle roll like your

536
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:34,960
Speaker 3: stepdad role, because I'm sure in his head he's like,

537
00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:38,880
Speaker 3: oh he's stepped up. Yeah, you know. He's like, let's

538
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:40,479
Speaker 3: get this war over with them. We could just go

539
00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:43,560
Speaker 3: sell some oranges and Dawn you can be my orange

540
00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:44,640
Speaker 3: selling children. No.

541
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:48,600
Speaker 2: Otto comes to Amon's room, sees the boys hanging out

542
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:50,920
Speaker 2: and is like, Chris Cole, go back to work.

543
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:52,040
Speaker 1: You're fucking on the class.

544
00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:53,680
Speaker 3: He's like, what's wrong with you? Do you know what

545
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:56,960
Speaker 3: the gold cloak is for? Like, do some fucking protecting? Yeah?

546
00:28:57,320 --> 00:28:59,840
Speaker 1: Are you clocked out? No, go to fucking work. Yeah.

547
00:28:59,880 --> 00:29:01,920
Speaker 3: And guess how he reads that situation. He does not

548
00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:03,440
Speaker 3: think he's meant to be during kids.

549
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:05,040
Speaker 1: Well, he does go to work, but he.

550
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:13,200
Speaker 2: Uh, Auto tells aimand stop planning ship stop, that we

551
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:15,200
Speaker 2: need vgor at the capitol and that's it.

552
00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:17,080
Speaker 1: Okay.

553
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:22,680
Speaker 2: Uh. Meanwhile, the city watchman blood and the rat catcher,

554
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 2: who we will call Cheese, even though that name is

555
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:27,360
Speaker 2: never mentioned in the show, but that's the name in

556
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:30,440
Speaker 2: the books. Blood and Cheese sneak into the castle and

557
00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:33,360
Speaker 2: after a little convincing, Cheese gets them to the upper

558
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:36,920
Speaker 2: floors where the noble nobles live, where the royal family lives.

559
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:41,960
Speaker 2: They have a whole different like a rat catcher Cadre

560
00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:44,040
Speaker 2: up there, but he would of which he's he's more

561
00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:46,719
Speaker 2: of a general castle rat catcher.

562
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:49,640
Speaker 3: So they're out there can just like walk around if

563
00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:51,920
Speaker 3: you got a rat catching trap. I listen, I didn't

564
00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:52,600
Speaker 3: think that's through.

565
00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:55,640
Speaker 2: Well, listen, may Goor's tunnels are just a secure you

566
00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:59,440
Speaker 2: risk as we have seen. You know, look no further

567
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:04,520
Speaker 2: than Tirian killing Taiwan on the shitter spoiler for a

568
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:07,720
Speaker 2: Game of Thrones using the using the tunnels, It's like the.

569
00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:11,320
Speaker 3: Tone is like giving Suwa yes, it's really just Sue's.

570
00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:18,400
Speaker 2: So then Cheese manages to locate Queen Helena, who is

571
00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:22,040
Speaker 2: in her room with the sleeping prince and Princess Jaehara.

572
00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:27,880
Speaker 2: Jeharis and Jahara can't tell them part they're twins, but

573
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:32,520
Speaker 2: they eventually do, uh get Helena to tell them which

574
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:36,520
Speaker 2: one is Prince Jeharis and we don't see anything happen

575
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:39,800
Speaker 2: on screen, but the audio team really earns their grizzly

576
00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:44,880
Speaker 2: payday because the sound of this scene is horrible and

577
00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:53,000
Speaker 2: very detailed. Queen Helena flees with Jihara, flees into Alison's

578
00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:58,880
Speaker 2: room where she is in flagrante delicto with Christian Cole

579
00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:03,840
Speaker 2: riding that hobbyhole or she is riding them, and the

580
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:08,720
Speaker 2: news is breaking, she says, as Christen Cole is covering

581
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:12,000
Speaker 2: himself and Alison is like, Helena, doesn't she said she

582
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:14,800
Speaker 2: doesn't care. She says, they killed the boy and we end.

583
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:17,240
Speaker 2: What a shocking episode.

584
00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:20,320
Speaker 1: What a I didn't think they'd get to bloody.

585
00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:22,520
Speaker 3: I don't think they were blood and she's this early.

586
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 3: But it's a very interesting I think this is a

587
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:30,600
Speaker 3: very interesting version of Blood and Cheese. I personally really

588
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:34,440
Speaker 3: liked it. I've been dreading this sequence because it is

589
00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:38,560
Speaker 3: very gruesome. In the book, it's very much about torturing women.

590
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:42,080
Speaker 3: They hogtie Queen Allison, they kill a chambermaid, they threaten

591
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:46,680
Speaker 3: to rape baby Jahara. So for me, this is actually

592
00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:50,160
Speaker 3: a great example of how House the Dragon is learning

593
00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:52,280
Speaker 3: from the mistakes of Game of Thrones past, because there

594
00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:54,080
Speaker 3: is a different version of this where we would see

595
00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:57,400
Speaker 3: Alison hogtiede, we'd see a dead baby, we'd hear them

596
00:31:57,440 --> 00:31:59,760
Speaker 3: do those threats. Instead, I feel like they leaned into

597
00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:04,120
Speaker 3: the spense and they made it about Helena's choice, which

598
00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:06,080
Speaker 3: is obviously a key part of the books. Jason, let

599
00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:08,880
Speaker 3: me ask you a question. She doesn't she hasn't given

600
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:13,680
Speaker 3: birth the baby Meyler yet right in the show, No no,

601
00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:16,400
Speaker 3: So that's what I thought. So it may not even

602
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:19,120
Speaker 3: happen exactly. So in the book, there's three kids and

603
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:21,240
Speaker 3: something that I know a lot of our discord users

604
00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:23,680
Speaker 3: and some viewers were annoyed about or like felt didn't

605
00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:27,040
Speaker 3: hit as much is in the book. She chooses Maela

606
00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:29,440
Speaker 3: because he's the youngest and she thinks he won't remember.

607
00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:31,920
Speaker 3: And then they killed Jaharis anyway, and Mayla has to

608
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:35,840
Speaker 3: grow up knowing that the mum chose Mayla to die.

609
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:38,080
Speaker 3: But I think here they still do a great job

610
00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:41,200
Speaker 3: with Helena's choice because she has the option to lie

611
00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:45,160
Speaker 3: about which kid is which, and she chooses Jaharah and

612
00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:48,000
Speaker 3: I think she doesn't want Jaharahs to become king. She's

613
00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:50,600
Speaker 3: seen what it has done to her family, and I

614
00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:53,120
Speaker 3: think in that moment she makes a choice because people

615
00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:55,560
Speaker 3: will just leave her in Jaharah alone. They're women nobody.

616
00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:57,880
Speaker 2: You raise a good point, which I think is that

617
00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:02,080
Speaker 2: there are two of changes, right from Fire and Blood.

618
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:05,600
Speaker 2: There are changes that happen in between the pages. Right,

619
00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:09,200
Speaker 2: so Fire and Blood is written as a fictional history

620
00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:15,240
Speaker 2: from the perspective of several unreliable historians that we're living

621
00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:19,200
Speaker 2: in the world, some writing, most writing years after, but

622
00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:25,680
Speaker 2: a few with some contemporaneous accounts, And so there are

623
00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:30,160
Speaker 2: changes that happen that none of those unreliable historians quite

624
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:30,680
Speaker 2: get right.

625
00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:32,000
Speaker 1: And we can think.

626
00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:34,800
Speaker 2: Of this as quote unquote the truth like Alison and

627
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:38,960
Speaker 2: Christen Cole, that's really not in the books, so we

628
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:40,840
Speaker 2: could assume, I guess if you're a book later, Hey,

629
00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:42,720
Speaker 2: I guess they maybe they got away with this. But

630
00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:47,160
Speaker 2: that's like a fun thing that doesn't really change the books,

631
00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:49,920
Speaker 2: but can happen and work within the books. And then

632
00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:53,560
Speaker 2: there are things that are pure changes, like like what

633
00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:57,320
Speaker 2: we're talking about here, where it's not you know, the

634
00:33:57,400 --> 00:34:01,280
Speaker 2: actual makeup of the king's families is different than it

635
00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:04,240
Speaker 2: was previously. And I think that one of the things

636
00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:09,160
Speaker 2: you're noting and we're noticing here is that it's very

637
00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:11,800
Speaker 2: possible that Fire and Listen, this is a story about

638
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:16,000
Speaker 2: how this realm is biased against women, and the historians

639
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:19,040
Speaker 2: that chronicle this realm are part of that. And I

640
00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:21,480
Speaker 2: think when you read Fire and Blood and watch the show,

641
00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:23,480
Speaker 2: one of the things I come away with is the

642
00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:26,560
Speaker 2: feeling that like, women get a real bad rap and

643
00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:31,359
Speaker 2: don't either get noticed in the histories or you know,

644
00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:36,719
Speaker 2: particularly rania Is will be like depicted as this, like raging,

645
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:41,160
Speaker 2: like murderous shrew conniving, all this kind of stuff. And

646
00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:47,320
Speaker 2: so it's no surprise that the behavior of our queens,

647
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:50,960
Speaker 2: our princesses is significantly different in the show and much

648
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:54,120
Speaker 2: more flesh out, because they're the things they're doing are

649
00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:58,640
Speaker 2: either ignored by history or are framed in the worst

650
00:34:58,640 --> 00:34:59,880
Speaker 2: possible life exactly.

651
00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:03,200
Speaker 3: And I think for me, I actually wrote an article

652
00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:05,719
Speaker 3: about this on for IgM, which you can read. I

653
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:08,399
Speaker 3: felt like this was one of the changes that makes

654
00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:13,080
Speaker 3: the show differentiate itself from Game of Thrones. I don't

655
00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:15,439
Speaker 3: need to see a kid's head get calf, I don't

656
00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:18,880
Speaker 3: need to see Alison get humiliated again when this is

657
00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:22,200
Speaker 3: actually a much crueler fate for Allison than losing one

658
00:35:22,239 --> 00:35:24,000
Speaker 3: of her bed chamber maids, which, by the way, has

659
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:26,520
Speaker 3: got to be like the most dangerous job in kingslanding.

660
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:29,000
Speaker 3: Oh my god, to be a chambermaid, you're always getting killed.

661
00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:31,160
Speaker 3: So I didn't need to see that. I didn't need

662
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:34,200
Speaker 3: to see Alison being humiliated and having to watch this

663
00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:38,680
Speaker 3: because really, now Allison has to live with the fact

664
00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:42,280
Speaker 3: that if Kristin Cole had been doing his fucking job

665
00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:46,640
Speaker 3: and not doing a job fucking her, that her grandson

666
00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:48,799
Speaker 3: and the heir could have lived. So I think this

667
00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:52,799
Speaker 3: is actually a very cool, interesting take. Also been very

668
00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:55,720
Speaker 3: interested to see how people who haven't read the books

669
00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:59,600
Speaker 3: found it really shocking and horrific, and people who have

670
00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:01,719
Speaker 3: read it, I don't think it's bad enough, which I

671
00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:03,400
Speaker 3: think that's a really interesting that I caught me.

672
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:04,719
Speaker 1: I agree.

673
00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:09,239
Speaker 2: Can't wait to talk more about this show. We will

674
00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:11,600
Speaker 2: of course be covering House of Dragon on a week

675
00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:32,640
Speaker 2: to week basis, so stay tuned. Welcome to another edition

676
00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:35,840
Speaker 2: of the Omnibus, where lore, analysis and understanding come together

677
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:41,360
Speaker 2: today to talk about that wonderful new intro new animated

678
00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:46,319
Speaker 2: intro for season two of House of the dragon. The

679
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:53,120
Speaker 2: tapestry depicted there in the intro gives us a targarian

680
00:36:53,239 --> 00:37:00,000
Speaker 2: centric history of the family and its origins in Old Volley,

681
00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:04,200
Speaker 2: which was a region of Esauce the Eastern Continent that

682
00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:09,160
Speaker 2: was filled with volcanoes and was the home to the

683
00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:12,839
Speaker 2: dragon lords, the Valerian dragon lords that then went out

684
00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:18,680
Speaker 2: to dominate the Eastern Continent. So the tapestry starts with

685
00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:22,120
Speaker 2: a panel that appears to show I believe it to

686
00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:26,640
Speaker 2: be necromancers who are taming the dragons. Now exactly how

687
00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:32,399
Speaker 2: the Valerians tamed dragons and discover them is unclear. All

688
00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:35,720
Speaker 2: of that was going swimmingly until the Doom of Valaria

689
00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:42,080
Speaker 2: that is depicted in a panel showing lightning coming from

690
00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:45,759
Speaker 2: the volcanoes and coming down from clouds and dragons of

691
00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:48,439
Speaker 2: flame falling out of the sky. The earth cracked open

692
00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:55,080
Speaker 2: the Doom of Valeria. It is described as essentially a

693
00:37:55,360 --> 00:38:02,279
Speaker 2: chain of explosions emanating from the volcanoes that consumed the

694
00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:07,600
Speaker 2: entire region, all of the nation of Valeria. Why this happened,

695
00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:13,600
Speaker 2: perhaps the necromancers were dabbling with magic that they could

696
00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:18,400
Speaker 2: not control. Whatever the case may be, everybody and everything

697
00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:23,240
Speaker 2: in Valeria was wiped out and the region was cast

698
00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:28,040
Speaker 2: into a toxic darkness that continues to this day. We

699
00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:33,319
Speaker 2: saw in Game of Thrones Tyrian travel to the kind

700
00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:37,480
Speaker 2: of edges of old Valeria where Stonemen people with various

701
00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:42,120
Speaker 2: illnesses reside, and it's a cursed area. Nobody goes there anymore.

702
00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:46,520
Speaker 2: The Targarians, however, escaped, and we see in another panel

703
00:38:46,640 --> 00:38:51,600
Speaker 2: the migration of the Targarians. They migrated because, as we

704
00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:55,000
Speaker 2: have seen in this both seasons of House of the Dragon,

705
00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:59,000
Speaker 2: the Targerians are touched by the gift of prophecy. Helena

706
00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:03,760
Speaker 2: has uttered many prophetic statements, although no one has noticed

707
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:10,160
Speaker 2: as of yet. And it was a ancestor of this family,

708
00:39:10,719 --> 00:39:15,880
Speaker 2: Danis the Dreamer who had a dream that something terrible

709
00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:19,319
Speaker 2: would befall Valeria, would be destroyed and everyone there would die.

710
00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:22,279
Speaker 2: And so she convinced her family that they needed to

711
00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:24,759
Speaker 2: move west, and they packed up all their dragons, all

712
00:39:24,760 --> 00:39:27,359
Speaker 2: their servants, all their belongings. They moved west and they

713
00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:31,680
Speaker 2: settled on Dragonstone, which was at that time the westernmost

714
00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:36,680
Speaker 2: outpost of the Valarian Empire, and they alone, of.

715
00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:38,480
Speaker 1: The Dragon Lord, survived.

716
00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:44,960
Speaker 2: Then we see Egon's conquest a panel depicting Egon's conquests,

717
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:49,520
Speaker 2: of course, is a famous event. Eggon the conqueror set

718
00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:53,920
Speaker 2: out with his two sisters, and they conquered the entire

719
00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:58,799
Speaker 2: kingdom of Westros, the entire continent, excuse me of Westros,

720
00:39:59,719 --> 00:40:04,239
Speaker 2: because of the power mainly of their three dragons, one

721
00:40:04,239 --> 00:40:06,480
Speaker 2: of which is still alive today.

722
00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:07,960
Speaker 1: By the way Vagar.

723
00:40:08,840 --> 00:40:13,000
Speaker 2: Now we see a battle of famous event part of

724
00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:15,920
Speaker 2: this conquest, the burning of Heron Hall. Hair in the

725
00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:21,040
Speaker 2: Black was an iron born king raider who had you know,

726
00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:24,680
Speaker 2: the ironborn are continuously raiding into the riverlands and the

727
00:40:24,719 --> 00:40:29,359
Speaker 2: coast in general, and the riverlands is often a very

728
00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:34,040
Speaker 2: fractious area, and hair in the Black was able to

729
00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:38,640
Speaker 2: put down roots there. He carved out a kingdom of

730
00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:42,520
Speaker 2: his own right there in the riverlands, and he enslaved

731
00:40:42,520 --> 00:40:44,400
Speaker 2: a lot of people in the popular in the region

732
00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:48,960
Speaker 2: to build his castle called Herron Hall, which you know,

733
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:51,920
Speaker 2: we know of today as a ruin, but back then

734
00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:54,640
Speaker 2: it was you know, under construction for many decades, but

735
00:40:54,640 --> 00:40:59,800
Speaker 2: it was the biggest castle in the entire continent, and

736
00:40:59,840 --> 00:41:04,120
Speaker 2: all of Westros, like you know, dozens and dozens of

737
00:41:04,320 --> 00:41:08,399
Speaker 2: hearths and many many halls and YadA, YadA YadA, and

738
00:41:08,760 --> 00:41:13,760
Speaker 2: Hair in the Black sat in his fortress when Eggon

739
00:41:13,920 --> 00:41:15,960
Speaker 2: sent his messengers out saying, you know, ben the near

740
00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:19,560
Speaker 2: and become part of the United westros to dry and

741
00:41:19,600 --> 00:41:23,760
Speaker 2: he was like, my huge, humongous, brand new castle.

742
00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:24,080
Speaker 1: Will protect me.

743
00:41:24,120 --> 00:41:27,319
Speaker 2: And of course it didn't, because you know, Egon came

744
00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:30,400
Speaker 2: down on it with fire and melted the castle around

745
00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:33,080
Speaker 2: Hair and the Black and his sons, and that is

746
00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:35,560
Speaker 2: depicted there in one of the panels. Then we see

747
00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:40,080
Speaker 2: another famous event from Egon's conquest, which is the surrender

748
00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:43,360
Speaker 2: of Torren Stark, the king in the North. This is

749
00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:48,800
Speaker 2: the event that basically ended the war, basically ended Egon's

750
00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:52,319
Speaker 2: conquests and gave him control of the region. Then we

751
00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:56,600
Speaker 2: see this panel that shows a target Aia and we

752
00:41:56,600 --> 00:42:00,279
Speaker 2: can tell because of this the pale hair, the silvery hair,

753
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:03,920
Speaker 2: Targarian king dead and bloody.

754
00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:04,040
Speaker 1: On the throne.

755
00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:08,160
Speaker 2: This is the end of Magor, the Cruel. Magor the Cruel,

756
00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:15,360
Speaker 2: the third Targarian king after Eggon and then Anus second

757
00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:20,880
Speaker 2: Targeer and king anus Ae Nys Targarian then came Megor

758
00:42:20,960 --> 00:42:26,240
Speaker 2: magor usurped the throne. He was a despot. He ruled

759
00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:31,360
Speaker 2: by fear. He was very aggravated because he had issues

760
00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:38,960
Speaker 2: siring children and this really infuriated him. All his kids

761
00:42:38,960 --> 00:42:43,000
Speaker 2: were coming out deformed, and MegaR was like, I'm gonna

762
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:45,960
Speaker 2: take multiple wives because I need to make a successor.

763
00:42:46,640 --> 00:42:47,440
Speaker 1: None of that happened.

764
00:42:47,480 --> 00:42:51,600
Speaker 2: Everybody hated him, and at the end of this tyranny,

765
00:42:52,360 --> 00:42:56,799
Speaker 2: Magor was discovered one day on the throne with the

766
00:42:56,840 --> 00:43:00,160
Speaker 2: blades of the throne impaled through his body.

767
00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:03,279
Speaker 1: How did this happen? Why did this come to be?

768
00:43:03,440 --> 00:43:05,000
Speaker 1: It's very mysterious. We don't know.

769
00:43:05,120 --> 00:43:08,080
Speaker 2: Of course, you can't avoid the metaphor itself, which is

770
00:43:08,160 --> 00:43:12,000
Speaker 2: very strong that the realm as an entity, you know,

771
00:43:12,160 --> 00:43:17,759
Speaker 2: rejected Magor and his evil depravity. So that's a really

772
00:43:17,800 --> 00:43:21,840
Speaker 2: cool moment to picted here in this tapestry. Then we

773
00:43:21,880 --> 00:43:24,880
Speaker 2: see something that we've seen already, that we saw early

774
00:43:25,560 --> 00:43:27,640
Speaker 2: in season one, the first thing we saw in season

775
00:43:27,640 --> 00:43:30,320
Speaker 2: one of House of the Dragon. It's the Great Council

776
00:43:30,360 --> 00:43:34,279
Speaker 2: of one oh one, which occurred late in the old

777
00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:39,840
Speaker 2: King Jaharis the Conciliator's reign. He, like many a targarian

778
00:43:40,200 --> 00:43:43,400
Speaker 2: before and after him, had trouble, you know, finding a

779
00:43:43,480 --> 00:43:47,800
Speaker 2: viable successor, and so towards the end of his reign,

780
00:43:47,880 --> 00:43:51,680
Speaker 2: he gathered all the lords and ladies together at Heron Hall,

781
00:43:51,680 --> 00:43:54,480
Speaker 2: which is the only place big enough to hold everyone,

782
00:43:54,520 --> 00:43:56,760
Speaker 2: and they all voted on who would be the next

783
00:43:56,840 --> 00:44:01,600
Speaker 2: ruler of Wests, and of course it's Visas Targarian one.

784
00:44:02,560 --> 00:44:05,360
Speaker 1: Then we've got this wonderful.

785
00:44:04,960 --> 00:44:08,760
Speaker 2: Image of the split, the black green split, that brings

786
00:44:08,880 --> 00:44:12,160
Speaker 2: us into the show proper. You see all the Green

787
00:44:12,239 --> 00:44:14,520
Speaker 2: side of the family sitting on one side of a table,

788
00:44:14,640 --> 00:44:18,480
Speaker 2: and then there's another table across, like a kind of divide,

789
00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:21,520
Speaker 2: and that's all the Black side of the family, the

790
00:44:22,040 --> 00:44:25,840
Speaker 2: Vernia side versus the high Tower side, auto High Tower

791
00:44:25,840 --> 00:44:27,360
Speaker 2: and Allison and her children.

792
00:44:27,600 --> 00:44:28,839
Speaker 1: And that brings us up to date.

793
00:44:28,920 --> 00:44:35,520
Speaker 2: Now what's really cool is this tapestry is clearly inspired by.

794
00:44:35,280 --> 00:44:36,000
Speaker 1: A real.

795
00:44:37,239 --> 00:44:41,960
Speaker 2: Thing, an actual tapestry that exists. This is the Bayou Chapestry,

796
00:44:42,120 --> 00:44:45,520
Speaker 2: nearly seventy meters long two hundred and thirty feet long,

797
00:44:46,040 --> 00:44:51,520
Speaker 2: and this tapestry depicts the events surrounding the Battle of

798
00:44:51,560 --> 00:44:55,640
Speaker 2: Hastings in ten sixty six, which was the battle in

799
00:44:55,680 --> 00:44:59,320
Speaker 2: which William, Duke of Normandy, which is a region of France,

800
00:45:00,600 --> 00:45:04,360
Speaker 2: conquered England and became King of England. It is, you know,

801
00:45:04,400 --> 00:45:08,600
Speaker 2: a very very early work of political propaganda. We don't

802
00:45:08,800 --> 00:45:13,000
Speaker 2: quite know who commissioned it and why, although there are

803
00:45:13,080 --> 00:45:15,400
Speaker 2: some strong theories, one of them being that it was

804
00:45:15,400 --> 00:45:18,319
Speaker 2: commissioned by Bishop Odo of Bayu, the half brother of

805
00:45:18,320 --> 00:45:22,960
Speaker 2: William the Conqueror, in order to tell his story. And

806
00:45:23,080 --> 00:45:25,960
Speaker 2: it is really really cool. Check it out, because there's

807
00:45:27,400 --> 00:45:32,920
Speaker 2: the Bayou Museum has a has all the panels of

808
00:45:32,960 --> 00:45:35,480
Speaker 2: the tapestry digitized and you can go in and you

809
00:45:35,520 --> 00:45:39,000
Speaker 2: can look at the tapestry meter by meter and it

810
00:45:39,120 --> 00:45:42,720
Speaker 2: is super super cool. And that's it.

811
00:45:44,719 --> 00:45:45,759
Speaker 1: Let's go to the back matter.

812
00:45:46,080 --> 00:45:49,960
Speaker 2: We like to end the show with various kinds of

813
00:45:50,560 --> 00:45:55,560
Speaker 2: fast moving segments, and for this back matter, let's do

814
00:45:55,600 --> 00:45:58,360
Speaker 2: a scoreboard. Let's you know the so much of the

815
00:45:58,400 --> 00:46:01,239
Speaker 2: marketing around How's the Dragon has been about Team Black,

816
00:46:01,239 --> 00:46:05,800
Speaker 2: Team Green, who's winning, but he think's winning? After this episode, Rosie.

817
00:46:05,640 --> 00:46:11,240
Speaker 3: Okay, so quality of life wise, Alison is winning. Al winning.

818
00:46:11,560 --> 00:46:13,919
Speaker 3: She is not worried about the war. She's got time

819
00:46:13,960 --> 00:46:16,720
Speaker 3: to go and light a candle. She is not yet grieving.

820
00:46:17,000 --> 00:46:20,120
Speaker 3: She's getting pleasured by Kristen Cole, who I guess now

821
00:46:20,160 --> 00:46:23,240
Speaker 3: is happy to be a lover. Oh okay, after all that, okay,

822
00:46:23,560 --> 00:46:27,400
Speaker 3: so and and I think that she is definitely living

823
00:46:27,400 --> 00:46:30,600
Speaker 3: the best life. Her family is intact, she's winning over

824
00:46:30,719 --> 00:46:35,440
Speaker 3: Otto like. She definitely is coming up top of the

825
00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:39,600
Speaker 3: odds for this episode. Uh Rania, I think you're right.

826
00:46:39,640 --> 00:46:41,399
Speaker 3: They need to get some kind of coach in there

827
00:46:41,520 --> 00:46:44,279
Speaker 3: help her out. It's not Damon he is. Actually I

828
00:46:44,280 --> 00:46:46,919
Speaker 3: would say Team Black is on the outs right now

829
00:46:46,960 --> 00:46:49,560
Speaker 3: because of Damon's stupid choice, because the can you imagine

830
00:46:49,560 --> 00:46:52,000
Speaker 3: the fallout that there is going to be. Because also

831
00:46:52,040 --> 00:46:54,520
Speaker 3: you can argue, you can argue that Aimond was a

832
00:46:54,600 --> 00:46:56,440
Speaker 3: kid who made a mistake and he couldn't control Vaga.

833
00:46:56,680 --> 00:46:59,040
Speaker 3: You cannot argue that the assassins went in there by

834
00:46:59,120 --> 00:47:00,400
Speaker 3: mistake and killed Harris.

835
00:47:00,920 --> 00:47:04,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that. Listen again, I love my Blacks,

836
00:47:04,640 --> 00:47:07,480
Speaker 1: I love Raniera. You want more from the team that

837
00:47:07,560 --> 00:47:08,479
Speaker 1: you're rooting for.

838
00:47:08,680 --> 00:47:12,440
Speaker 2: I very, very sadly have to say that Team Green

839
00:47:13,480 --> 00:47:16,960
Speaker 2: they have the better infrastructure. They have people in place

840
00:47:17,080 --> 00:47:22,120
Speaker 2: like Auto, like Amon Sadly, like Kristen Cole Sadly, who

841
00:47:22,200 --> 00:47:26,200
Speaker 2: are like Laris, who are good at their roles and

842
00:47:26,320 --> 00:47:28,719
Speaker 2: are doing it. Eggon is trying to do this that

843
00:47:28,800 --> 00:47:31,720
Speaker 2: and the other bad thing. And there are multiple people

844
00:47:31,719 --> 00:47:33,560
Speaker 2: there who are like, no, don't do that, No, don't

845
00:47:33,560 --> 00:47:34,880
Speaker 2: do that. Here's a better way to do it.

846
00:47:34,920 --> 00:47:35,880
Speaker 1: Here's over.

847
00:47:36,160 --> 00:47:39,760
Speaker 2: You go to the Black Small Council and it's headless.

848
00:47:39,960 --> 00:47:43,280
Speaker 2: Raniera is gone. Damon is out there ordering people around.

849
00:47:43,440 --> 00:47:46,560
Speaker 2: Only Rayne, who's like, you're not king, you can't tell

850
00:47:46,560 --> 00:47:49,240
Speaker 2: me what to do, is able to like resist him.

851
00:47:49,719 --> 00:47:53,520
Speaker 2: And he's out here running plays for himself and.

852
00:47:53,680 --> 00:47:56,480
Speaker 3: Actually giving Renee they should be giving Renee more power.

853
00:47:57,600 --> 00:47:59,920
Speaker 3: Is working and what is the supply?

854
00:48:00,800 --> 00:48:04,840
Speaker 2: The fallout for this will remain to be seen. But

855
00:48:04,920 --> 00:48:07,919
Speaker 2: I think you're right. I think Damon has I think

856
00:48:07,960 --> 00:48:15,640
Speaker 2: Damon has hurt Rania. And at the end of the day,

857
00:48:16,120 --> 00:48:17,400
Speaker 2: the buck stops with Raniera.

858
00:48:18,600 --> 00:48:18,920
Speaker 3: Damon.

859
00:48:19,880 --> 00:48:21,759
Speaker 2: One thing we know about him is his key. He's

860
00:48:21,840 --> 00:48:29,040
Speaker 2: chaotic and unpredictable. Rania leaving town and and giving one word,

861
00:48:29,360 --> 00:48:33,400
Speaker 2: one name as a direction and then piecing out open

862
00:48:33,480 --> 00:48:36,200
Speaker 2: the door for Damon to affect this war in a

863
00:48:36,280 --> 00:48:40,040
Speaker 2: terrible way. And I just want Raniera and Team Black

864
00:48:40,120 --> 00:48:43,240
Speaker 2: to get it together. And sadly it's Team.

865
00:48:43,000 --> 00:48:44,239
Speaker 1: Green on the scoreboard right now.

866
00:48:44,400 --> 00:48:45,960
Speaker 3: They are on the scoreboard right now.

867
00:48:46,640 --> 00:48:49,000
Speaker 1: In Thursday's episode of Extra Envision will highlights.

00:48:54,320 --> 00:48:55,880
