Speaker 1: Morning.
Speaker 2: Today's episode contains spoilers for House of the Dragon season three,
Speaker 2: episode seven. Hello, my name is Jason Concepcio and I'm
Speaker 2: Rosey Night and welcome back to ext revision of the
Speaker 2: podcast where we dive deep into your favorite shows, movies, comics,
Speaker 2: and pop culture. Coming from iHeart, we're bringing you three
Speaker 2: episodes a weekless.
Speaker 1: News plast news.
Speaker 3: In today's episode, we are going to be talking about
Speaker 3: another crazy episode of House of the Dragon.
Speaker 4: Yes, hot D season three.
Speaker 3: It's going strong. There are so many oh wow moments
Speaker 3: in this episode. I just can't wait to dig into it.
Speaker 3: It is absolutely bonkers, Jason. So much is happening?
Speaker 2: Season three, episode seven. We open on kings Landing. Helena
Speaker 2: is warnering around the courtyard of King's Landing. It is
Speaker 2: obvious pretty quickly that she's in a dream. She sees
Speaker 2: a white horse in the courtyard, there's no one around,
Speaker 2: the gates are open, there's a beautiful sun shining in.
Speaker 4: She's so happy.
Speaker 2: She's so happy in that moment, and then Raniera wakes
Speaker 2: her up and Helena is like, where's my mom? We
Speaker 2: don't know what's going on with her. Recall that Allison
Speaker 2: was sent sent to heron hall by Raniera after Alison
Speaker 2: brought word that, uh that that's where Aimond is m hm.
Speaker 2: Raniera asks if Aimond ever asked her to ride into
Speaker 2: battle with him. She says, you know, when she was
Speaker 2: a little girl, she wanted to fly, but now when
Speaker 2: she's with dream Fire, her dragon, it's just the sensory input.
Speaker 3: I was gonna say, I I can't even imagine, like
Speaker 3: because she is a dreamer, she's already sensitive, like when
Speaker 3: she's connected to dream five. There is a lot this
Speaker 3: episode about just how powerful these connections are with the
Speaker 3: dragons and kind of this notion of like how having
Speaker 3: a dragon changes you. And yeah, Helena is the one
Speaker 3: who is most aware of it, I think.
Speaker 2: And so Rania is trying to build a connection with
Speaker 2: Helena so she can pump her for dream information. Then
Speaker 2: you know, she's talking about her dad and you know,
Speaker 2: talking about how Visara's also felt ambivalent to very negative
Speaker 2: about dragons and renounce them and aren't they you know,
Speaker 2: you two are kind of the same in that way.
Speaker 2: Helena is just kind of quietly knitting her tapestry, and
Speaker 2: Raniera then kind of like escalates in pumping Helena for information.
Speaker 3: She's like, again, she's not good at this.
Speaker 2: You know, you're a dreamer.
Speaker 1: Do you see things?
Speaker 2: What do you see? What's the thing you last saw?
Speaker 2: And Helena's like, I saw a horse, like a gray horse.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Rne is okay, that's that's interesting, specifically about Damon and
Speaker 2: the winter Wolves and Tumbleton and Lord Ormond and uh
Speaker 2: and uh vagar et cetera, like anything about that. She
Speaker 2: starts to get like kind of annoyed, believing that Helena
Speaker 2: is just like stonewalling her.
Speaker 3: But really it's not how it works.
Speaker 2: Visions don't work in the way that Raniera thinks they do.
Speaker 4: I was very frustrated with Raniera this episode.
Speaker 3: I love her and I understand like the heavy as
Speaker 3: the head that has the crown, but she's making a
Speaker 3: lot of very short sighted decisions and this is one
Speaker 3: of them. The way that she immediately just instead of
Speaker 3: making that connection with Helena, which at first I think
Speaker 3: she does well with the sister and talking about Vissera's
Speaker 3: but then she immediately just starts demanding where's the winter Wolves?
Speaker 3: Where a Tumbleton, where's woman? It's like, baby, you're not
Speaker 3: even listening to what she said, Like that that's just
Speaker 3: not and if you've read the histories you would know
Speaker 3: that's not really how it works. But she's this is
Speaker 3: to last no, like Ranera is on breaking point, like
Speaker 3: she's so close to just and she's.
Speaker 2: Like, you know, you know I can make you tell
Speaker 2: me about the dreams and tell me if I'm gonna
Speaker 2: win the war and all this stuff. Helene is not interested.
Speaker 2: We go to heron hall where Amond is practicing with sword.
Speaker 2: He's getting stronger after his stabbing. He but then he
Speaker 2: collapses on the ground as he's going through his moves
Speaker 2: and he looks up and his mom is there.
Speaker 3: Well she got that quick.
Speaker 2: He is absolutely shock she made it here. And she's like,
Speaker 2: oh my god, you know I managed to escape the
Speaker 2: capitol and get through the raiders and the countryside and
Speaker 2: oh my god.
Speaker 1: Amen.
Speaker 2: It's so you're such a clever boy. You've you've also
Speaker 2: avoided capturing, say Spce. She's like, you are my best
Speaker 2: and truest son all that I have left. You mean
Speaker 2: everything to me. What about egg On, he asks, and
Speaker 2: she's like he's probably dead and you know I did
Speaker 2: what I could with him, but I failed, and you're
Speaker 2: my only chance to really succeed, and then they start
Speaker 2: kissing and then they're about to fuck, like it's.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I think it's happening. I think it's in.
Speaker 3: I think I think that's I think I.
Speaker 2: Don't think they got there, but I think it was
Speaker 2: like about to happen.
Speaker 3: It was I was unhappy about it.
Speaker 2: Or maybe you're right that it was. He's just gone in.
Speaker 3: I think he just got in because.
Speaker 2: She's just gone in. And then she says, whispers into
Speaker 2: his ear in this moment, I will give you a son,
Speaker 2: and he realizes instantly, Oh, it's Alice using some sort
Speaker 2: of a man here. She goes again and he's the
Speaker 2: bed and.
Speaker 1: She's like, what'd you see, Aimen? What did you see?
Speaker 2: And he's like, you know what I saw, Lady, just
Speaker 2: come it starts wandering around, and then as he's wandering
Speaker 2: this massive castle, he looks across and he sees his
Speaker 2: mom again, Alison, but this is the real one and
Speaker 2: she's just drive.
Speaker 3: So I'm gonna this is a threat that I'm going
Speaker 3: to bring up kind of throughout this episode. But the
Speaker 3: Helena Aiman connection, I feel like they're really playing into here,
Speaker 3: like potentially the magic like because Alice seems kind of
Speaker 3: surprised or but like Aiman, it's almost to me like
Speaker 3: did Helena like try and tell him she was coming? Like,
Speaker 3: I don't know. I feel like there's I feel like
Speaker 3: there's something between the two of them that is gonna
Speaker 3: play into it. More there was I know Alice's magic
Speaker 3: is crazy, but it was like the timing just felt
Speaker 3: like that was a warning or something there for me.
Speaker 4: And I think there's more throughout the episode.
Speaker 2: That's very interesting. I read it as I read it
Speaker 2: as Alice doing it and she knew that Alison was
Speaker 2: coming and she thought, I don't have much time to
Speaker 2: lock him down.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, she's magic, so that makes sense, Like and
Speaker 3: it's a good way to confuse him. I mean when
Speaker 3: Alison shows up, that's another It's one of those oh
Speaker 3: wow moments, like you get the moment when they fucking
Speaker 3: you're like, please don't do this Alison, and then obviously
Speaker 3: it's it's Alice, but then immediately.
Speaker 4: The real Allison is there.
Speaker 3: I mean, this episode is so fun in such a
Speaker 3: gothic weird way.
Speaker 2: Yes, so I think that I think Alice is just looking.
Speaker 3: To she had the time limit coming.
Speaker 2: I feel like she's I think she needs to really
Speaker 2: lock down Amon's allegiance, and that she feels like she's
Speaker 2: been making good headway, and that she knew that the
Speaker 2: arrival of his mom, who he has very deep and
Speaker 2: inappropriate feelings about, could possibly rupture whatever connection they've been building.
Speaker 2: And I think she was just like, let me see
Speaker 2: if I can get a son off of him or
Speaker 2: right now and the prince, and then I will have
Speaker 2: him trapped meanwhile while this has happened the winter Wolves
Speaker 2: and ride of the Room and just like marching around
Speaker 2: with Cole's head on a spike, which you're still in
Speaker 2: it still, which I know that you really enjoy that.
Speaker 3: Fabian just such an incredible act. I felt like he
Speaker 3: had so much grace. I thought he was so wonderful
Speaker 3: on the episode, like I love the notion of kind
Speaker 3: of that the journey they decided to take with Cole.
Speaker 4: I know some people like didn't love it.
Speaker 3: Because it changed from the books, but I thought it
Speaker 3: was very powerful and I thought Fabian just did such
Speaker 3: a fantastic job bringing him to life in such like
Speaker 3: a awful but by the end, pretty empathetic way like
Speaker 3: you would you were you were moved when he sniffed
Speaker 3: the tip knap Kim the last.
Speaker 2: Time sniffed that one one last moment.
Speaker 4: Meanwhile, yeah, I love to see him.
Speaker 2: Gweyne arrives at Tumilton, where the preparations for the battle
Speaker 2: are continuing. He brings Lord Ormond news that the winter
Speaker 2: Wolves and the Rivermen are on the way. Their army
Speaker 2: is very huge. They just crossed the Blackwater Rush. They'll
Speaker 2: be here at that some point soon. Ormond tells GWayne that,
Speaker 2: by the way, your buddy Cole is confirmed dead. And
Speaker 2: I'm and meanwhile, and Ormond is like unworried. GWayne is like,
Speaker 2: you see, like he's kind of Gway is like kind
Speaker 2: of freaking out about this. But Ormond's like, don't worry,
Speaker 2: I've got a new piece on the board. He ses,
Speaker 2: and then that's it. The least wanted to know.
Speaker 3: We were like, what the fuck is the piece? We've
Speaker 3: been talking about the piece, And I have to say
Speaker 3: this episode gives us multiple different parts where you think
Speaker 3: you know what the piece is, but it is not
Speaker 3: revealed till the end, and it's such a fun reveal.
Speaker 4: Also, I really want to shout out that.
Speaker 3: The actu plays GWayne is like so good at Yeah,
Speaker 3: Freddy Fox so good at like.
Speaker 2: The kind of like. Uh. I was most familiar with
Speaker 2: him from the first couple of seasons of Slow Horses,
Speaker 2: a show that I watched despite not liking, and he's
Speaker 2: wonderful in it. He's played he plays a very different
Speaker 2: character in that, like a because he does have this
Speaker 2: very posh and handsome look of a bully, you know
Speaker 2: what I mean, a schoolyard bully. So he plays this very.
Speaker 3: Villainous yeah, the eaton club like that kind.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like smarmy, I'm richer than you, I'm smarter than you,
Speaker 2: have more connections than you. Character and Slow Horses and
Speaker 2: obviously and a much different he's so good.
Speaker 4: At being this kind of romantic. He's not a coward.
Speaker 4: He's brave, but he's a realist.
Speaker 3: And I do think.
Speaker 2: He's a rich He's the very nicest rich boy, you know, like.
Speaker 3: He actually cares about people too, like he lets himself care.
Speaker 3: He's also gay, obviously because amends very homophobic. Yeah.
Speaker 4: I just think Freddy Folx is smashing it.
Speaker 2: Actually, he definitely was in love with Cole. He was
Speaker 2: in love with deep connection with Cole.
Speaker 3: Now he was in love with him for sure. I
Speaker 3: mean the memes have been so great, like Kristen Cole
Speaker 3: generational fumble up because Allison fumbled fucking Gawayne He's a
Speaker 3: great call.
Speaker 2: Is a great looking guy, was a great looking guy.
Speaker 3: Two queens. Okay, r repiz him, But yeah, I think
Speaker 3: the ensemble kind of wide a cost in this gets
Speaker 3: such a chance to shine that it really stands out
Speaker 3: to me as one of the best episodes of the season.
Speaker 2: Damon arrives on craxies to the veil. He goes to
Speaker 2: see Lady Jane and is like, where's my daughter? Where
Speaker 2: wass na? And apparently Jane had sent word to Damon.
Speaker 2: This is right after Rena flew away previously mm hmm.
Speaker 2: And Jane's like, listen, I can't do anything. She's on
Speaker 2: a dragon. I can't control her. One's got to rain
Speaker 2: her in because she's causing a lot of troubles. Damon says, well,
Speaker 2: she swore to me that she would keep her head
Speaker 2: down and remain in hiding, and Jane Aaron's like, well
Speaker 2: she not and she's a huge pain in my ass.
Speaker 3: Everyone knows.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the small folks are talking about this that sheep
Speaker 2: says running around still with the rider on it right
Speaker 2: who you announced that you killed, And I have to
Speaker 2: I am in a spot where I've got to basically
Speaker 2: tell the Queen everything now because if I don't, it
Speaker 2: will seem like I'm hiding something when she eventually does
Speaker 2: find out, because she is going to find out. And
Speaker 2: Damon's like, give me one day to deal with this,
Speaker 2: and again recall the history that Damon is persona and
Speaker 2: nongrada in the Veil for murdering his ex wife, real
Speaker 2: roice of this, so he be important one of the
Speaker 2: very you know, like the Royce family, a very important
Speaker 2: family of the Veil.
Speaker 4: I'm glad that you brought out Jason, because we also
Speaker 4: get this great.
Speaker 3: Moment from Matt Smith where Jane looks at him with
Speaker 3: such disgust when he assa for a day, and so
Speaker 3: he says please. But you've like never heard Damon say please.
Speaker 3: It's such a performance. He barely he can barely spit
Speaker 3: it out. But yeah, just another just great moment.
Speaker 2: Elsewhere, nearby, Ish, Bayla and Adam are also looking for Vagar.
Speaker 2: They're two days behind him, Bayla thinks, and she's really
Speaker 2: stressed out because she thinks the Queen is putting her
Speaker 2: on these constant patrols to punish her for Jason's death, which,
Speaker 2: by the way, she doesn't really blame the Queen before
Speaker 2: because she also blames herself for Jason's death. Adam is like, listen,
Speaker 2: the Queen is on one right now. She won't legitimize Alan.
Speaker 2: She's just kind of like going through it right now
Speaker 2: and is having multiple feuds with multiple people. Bayla says, well,
Speaker 2: there's nothing I can really do about that.
Speaker 3: Why do you care?
Speaker 2: Yeah? And he wants to know, like can Daemon help.
Speaker 2: Baila is like I don't know, Like why are you
Speaker 2: why do you want to talk about this now? And
Speaker 2: it's very clear that Adam is just trying to create
Speaker 2: conversation because he is sweet on Bailey, is a crush
Speaker 2: on her. The way he looks at her, it's like
Speaker 2: very very obvious, he says. He says, you know, well,
Speaker 2: think about this, like what if what would you do
Speaker 2: if you wanted to have a family and Mary one day?
Speaker 2: Like what are you going to do? He's clearly talking
Speaker 2: about like what if himself, yeah, together had a family,
Speaker 2: And he's looking at her with these like doe eyes,
Speaker 2: you know, big hearts flying out of the eyes, Baila.
Speaker 2: He kind of infers. She basically like about she thinks
Speaker 2: that Adam's brother Alan talked to him, and that Alan
Speaker 2: is that Adam is concerned about legitimization because he's thinking, oh, Alan,
Speaker 2: and you will get married one day. And she's like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 2: he's talked to me about that, and Adam's like who,
Speaker 2: and he's like, oh, Alan, And Adam is clearly like heartbroken.
Speaker 2: In that moment she register it registered, yeah, you get your.
Speaker 3: Oh he meant him.
Speaker 2: But before she can or he can really react to that,
Speaker 2: their dragon starts screaming because sheep stealer is flying around.
Speaker 3: This fucking dragon causing problems.
Speaker 2: Yes, we go to her and all Alison has explained
Speaker 2: to Amon that oh, well, you know, Sir Adrian red
Speaker 2: Ford helped me escape, and he helped me get away
Speaker 2: and now I'm here and I'm so glad to be here.
Speaker 2: Amon grabs her by the shoulders and it's like trying
Speaker 2: to shakes her to make sure it's it's really her,
Speaker 2: and she says, very funnily enough, says the same thing
Speaker 2: that Alice said, like I have left, which must be
Speaker 2: so so weird for Amen.
Speaker 3: He is struggling. He can badly tell if she's real
Speaker 3: or all.
Speaker 2: So they got to the Godswood and Sir Adrian is
Speaker 2: indeed there. Sir Adrian Redford Amond is looking him up
Speaker 2: and down. They shake hands, like thanks for getting my
Speaker 2: mom out. He pulls his blade out. He cuts Sir
Speaker 2: Adrian's throat just right.
Speaker 3: Alison is like, oh my god, he was that guy's
Speaker 3: there to kill Amen, Like, so this is how.
Speaker 2: He's just I think he just doesn't want any witnesses
Speaker 2: to know where he is.
Speaker 3: Oh no, no, no, no no, That's what Amon's reasoning is.
Speaker 3: But I think Alison's freaking out because I think that
Speaker 3: I feel like the unspoken conversation between how and Renera,
Speaker 3: Oh well, if Aman's dead when you come back, then
Speaker 3: you and Helena can go oh you know, so I
Speaker 3: mean like, I mean, like to suddenly Allison's plan is fucked.
Speaker 3: But yeah, am just did it because.
Speaker 4: He wants to keep the magic and the dragon Egg's secret,
Speaker 4: like he didn't.
Speaker 2: She was sent there to kill him. Alice then comes
Speaker 2: up over the dead body of Sir Adrian and it's like,
Speaker 2: oh uh, hi, would you like to come to supper meanwhile,
Speaker 2: uh interladent Ormond is eating with Darren and his prisoner
Speaker 2: Lord Corlis, and you know, just like small talk. Corliss
Speaker 2: like what do you want?
Speaker 3: Man?
Speaker 2: Like, thank you for the food, but like I'd rather
Speaker 2: go back to my cell And Orman's like, wasn't IM
Speaker 2: gonna use you as a hostage to make sure that
Speaker 2: the Valerians do not enter the conflict, either in by
Speaker 2: reinforcing King's landing or coming directly against us at Tumbleton.
Speaker 2: Darren asks just a general question about how that helps
Speaker 2: when it's the winter Wolves and the river Men who
Speaker 2: are on the marsh, Ormand is like, shut up, kid.
Speaker 2: He goes back to Corlis and he's like, listen, what
Speaker 2: is the deal with you with the Valerians and the Targarians?
Speaker 2: Like why do you like that? Yeah, they're so weird
Speaker 2: and the whole dragons and their incests and all this stuff.
Speaker 2: Of course, like your wife, I didn't mean to insult
Speaker 2: your weight wife, Rayne, who was a Targarian, and of
Speaker 2: course the two families have intertwined bloodlines, going wait wait, wait,
Speaker 2: wait back, but like you know, like I didn't mean
Speaker 2: it that way, and Corlis is like whatever I've had enough.
Speaker 2: I'm going back to my cell and I want to
Speaker 2: hear this shit anymore.
Speaker 3: I just want to say I love this because this
Speaker 3: is our first red Herring, right, and it's.
Speaker 4: It's like, okay, well, how would is he gonna try
Speaker 4: and make him a hand to the king?
Speaker 3: Like what's gonna happen? Would call this?
Speaker 2: Do it? Like?
Speaker 4: No, it doesn't seem like it. And then we get
Speaker 4: this great.
Speaker 3: In moment when the next sequence it just completely has
Speaker 3: that conversation for us. It's so fun.
Speaker 2: Darren speaks with GWayne and they're both gossiping about what
Speaker 2: Ormond has up his sleeves. Why is he so confident?
Speaker 2: Why is he in such high spirits? What is this
Speaker 2: secret move that he has? Darren is worried that any
Speaker 2: day now the winter Wolves and the rivermen will be
Speaker 2: here and the dragons are here already and we're just
Speaker 2: gonna be slaughtered by superior forces and we're done.
Speaker 1: GWayne.
Speaker 2: Meanwhile, it is the sad, sad sat about Cole. Oh
Speaker 2: cool col Cole. He was just great. And Darren, it's like,
Speaker 2: what if I order What if I go to the
Speaker 2: army above Ormond's head and I tell them to surrender
Speaker 2: I'm like, I'm the King.
Speaker 3: I'm meant to be the king, right, Yeah?
Speaker 2: And GWayne is like that won't work, but like what
Speaker 2: if you fly away? And Darren's like, no, I can't
Speaker 2: do that because whatever happens, I kind of where would
Speaker 2: I go? Number One too, I've already been named king,
Speaker 2: Like I have to stay here.
Speaker 3: I feel like Darren, I gotta say, coming through as
Speaker 3: like a quite legit guy. Like he's like a young boy.
Speaker 3: He's been pushed into this situation through no means of
Speaker 3: his own, really, and he actually is like legitimately trying
Speaker 3: to work out how to save the most people's lives.
Speaker 3: And it's pretty impressive to me.
Speaker 2: Let's secret quick break and we read back, and we're
Speaker 2: back back in King's landing. Rania is meeting with her
Speaker 2: fractuous small council. Manderally, master of Coin, is complaining the
Speaker 2: small folk are so mad at him that they've vandalized
Speaker 2: his house and they're yelling at him in the streets
Speaker 2: and he he is just now starting to realize that
Speaker 2: he is the scapegoat for the entire economic collapse, and
Speaker 2: he points out, he's like, you know, you hired me
Speaker 2: to fix this and now everybody blames me for it,
Speaker 2: and Nina's like, okay, let's talk about something else. Where's
Speaker 2: Corla's any word from him? I sorry?
Speaker 3: I'm giving each other like a comedy Real housewives look
Speaker 3: across the table and take a sip of wine, like,
Speaker 3: oh he realized, Like, don't realize, mate, because you're gonna
Speaker 3: have your head's gonna be chopped off. What's your Novelga
Speaker 3: used as a scapegoat, so like stay dumb, you know.
Speaker 2: She we go around the table. You know, where's Damon?
Speaker 2: What's going on? Hair in Hall? Any word from hair
Speaker 2: in Hall? Damon? Any word from Damon or a while
Speaker 2: says okay, Damon went off to do something and no
Speaker 2: one knows what it is. Every time Nowner his wheels
Speaker 2: start her paranoid wheels start turning, She's that sets her
Speaker 2: off because anytime, you know, recall from the earliest days
Speaker 2: of their relationship, oh yeah, and even back to Damon's
Speaker 2: relationship with Serious, there's always been this feeling like does
Speaker 2: Damon want the throne? Is he planting something? Might he
Speaker 2: plot something against me? And now Ranira, you can tell
Speaker 2: that the fact that he's gone off somewhere to do
Speaker 2: something that no one knows is has has put that
Speaker 2: question back on the front burner in the mind the shipping.
Speaker 3: The shipping waits. That's spinning back to Massaria. They're dipping
Speaker 3: back because Damon is doing a good enough job. He's
Speaker 3: not doing a good enough job in the love triangle.
Speaker 2: Alan gives a war update that the Rivermen are finally
Speaker 2: approaching Tumbleton. The Valerian Army will be at kings Landing soon,
Speaker 2: so the security issues in the Capitol will will be
Speaker 2: taken care of hopefully, and Manderley continues to complain about
Speaker 2: like this, that and the other Sabbath Afray now brings
Speaker 2: up the issue that's been sticking in her crow for
Speaker 2: a long time now. Haron Hall, Haron Harnald, Heron Hall,
Speaker 2: Adam and Bayla bring word that sheep stealer is near
Speaker 2: fair Market on the Blue Fork with a rider. They
Speaker 2: chased sheep stealer but lost the riot. He lost the
Speaker 2: dragon and the rider. Misaria says, well, clearly the head
Speaker 2: that Damon brought you and this is you can tell.
Speaker 2: She can't wait to point this out. Clearly that head
Speaker 2: is fake because the rider is still there. He lied
Speaker 2: about killing the rider and now he's off somewhere, no
Speaker 2: one knows where. Can you trust him? What's he doing?
Speaker 2: And Rania is like, no, he wouldn't. He would he
Speaker 2: wouldn't betray me now like at this particular time. But
Speaker 2: you can tell she doesn't quite believe that she does. Laris, though,
Speaker 2: Larisagon and Thailand are riding towards this port and the
Speaker 2: ship that Laris can't wait for them to get on.
Speaker 2: They encounter a stream of refugees coming the other way.
Speaker 2: They're running from the Muton Host, the army of Lord
Speaker 2: Muton of Maiden Pool, who are sworn to the Queen.
Speaker 2: Thailand's like, fuck, we get okay, Let's go back to
Speaker 2: Rooks Rest and Lara's is like, no, they you know,
Speaker 2: they probably already know who we are over there. We
Speaker 2: got to go forward. We leave it undecided. We go
Speaker 2: back to Heron Hall where Alison Alison am are having
Speaker 2: the worst dinner ever.
Speaker 3: This is it looks like it's so awkward. The food
Speaker 3: looks nasty, Allison, So, I mean, Alice is a witch.
Speaker 2: I will say the food look good to me, but
Speaker 2: also I wouldn't eat it. I what I loved about
Speaker 2: this was it's you know this is high fantasy, but
Speaker 2: this season has put these relatable human moments into the
Speaker 2: fantasy where you know you can just and this is
Speaker 2: one of them. Like who among us has not had
Speaker 2: one of these dinners where you are introducing a boyfriend
Speaker 2: or girlfriend or partner someone also to a parental figure
Speaker 2: and the parent just like immediately doesn't like them. Yeah,
Speaker 2: vice versa.
Speaker 3: And they also play it so well because obviously the
Speaker 3: teenage version of that is like your parents catch you
Speaker 3: making out or whatever and they come in and then
Speaker 3: you have to have the awkward dinner. Here it's Alison
Speaker 3: catching aim and killing Adrian, right, and then they have
Speaker 3: to go to the dinner, so that she's completely out
Speaker 3: of her element here. She has lost all of her
Speaker 3: abilities to machinate or move and she is finally on
Speaker 3: the back foot. It's it's so funny, so good to watch,
Speaker 3: and yet I.
Speaker 2: Think she doesn't show it because her first question, which
Speaker 2: is a fair one, is like looks at Alice and
Speaker 2: was like, who the fuck.
Speaker 3: Are you have my fucking son?
Speaker 2: Yeah, where did you meet? And Aimond is like, oh,
Speaker 2: she saved my life. You know, It's just one of
Speaker 2: those things. Alice's like, Okay, I need more than that,
Speaker 2: Like really, who is she? Amy's like, okay, she's sort
Speaker 2: of like a master here, but like not really, and
Speaker 2: we want to stay here together and Harron Hall is
Speaker 2: gonna be my seat and we're not gonna leave, We're
Speaker 2: just gonna kind of stay here. Alison is like, you're crazy.
Speaker 2: The realm is at war, Eggon is dead. You were
Speaker 2: the deputy king and now you've left. Do you even
Speaker 2: know like what is going on out here? Raniera has
Speaker 2: more dragons, she isn't kings landing, she's in control. And
Speaker 2: Amon is like, well, uh you know, Raniera. Sure she
Speaker 2: has more dragons, but like she used commoners to do that,
Speaker 2: and she's really sullied the targarian name, Amon says me,
Speaker 2: and Alan, he's like, I don't care about this stuff.
Speaker 2: Alice and I are gonna stay here in the mud
Speaker 2: of the riverlands. We're gonna build a new seat, We're
Speaker 2: gonna create a new line of unsullied kings. Alison is
Speaker 2: like that idea is very, very weird, that you're just
Speaker 2: going to live here in Hairn Hall with this strange woman.
Speaker 2: And Alice is like, let's change the subject. How about
Speaker 2: when are you leaving Alison, that's what I'd like to
Speaker 2: talk about. Alice is like, bitch, how long are you
Speaker 2: to stay here? Like you don't like it so much,
Speaker 2: you don't like hearn Hall, then why don't you leave. Damon, though,
Speaker 2: wants her to stay, and Alice is clearly jealous because
Speaker 2: the thing that she was worried about Alison coming between
Speaker 2: her and Amon is kind of happening. Amond and Alice
Speaker 2: are bickering. Alice warns him that they kind of go
Speaker 2: off to the side, and Alice is like, I can
Speaker 2: smell it, like Alison is plotting against you. She means
Speaker 2: you ill, she means you harm, and her plans whatever
Speaker 2: she's planning, those plans don't include us. Alice says, you
Speaker 2: Targerian boys, all you want is the same thing, which
Speaker 2: is I interpreted that as to fuck your mom's and
Speaker 2: or sisters, and it's get your head on straight. Alison, meanwhile,
Speaker 2: is slightly panicked. She goes out to the gods Wood,
Speaker 2: goes through dead Sir Adrian's corpse, pulls out his knife,
Speaker 2: and then is just kind of looking around the God's Wood,
Speaker 2: and the camera focuses on some berries which are going
Speaker 2: to be very important to her plan going forward back
Speaker 2: to Laris Eggan and Thailand. Tom Tangleton comes up gives
Speaker 2: the latest news. There's a big army, the Mooton Army.
Speaker 2: They're coming. They're looking for Thailand. Lanister, and you guys
Speaker 2: are in trouble. Lara suggests, completely self servingly, Thailand, why
Speaker 2: don't you surrender directly to the Mouton army so that
Speaker 2: Eggon and I can escape. Thailand is like, well, actually,
Speaker 2: here's a different idea. What if Eggon and I escape
Speaker 2: and we go to Cashley Rock like I originally have
Speaker 2: been saying. Laris is like, that's really fucking stupid, because
Speaker 2: they're looking for you, so why would the king be
Speaker 2: safe with you? Like, get it together. Agon says like,
Speaker 2: no to both plans. I'm the king. I'm tired of running.
Speaker 2: I'm going to face death as a king with my
Speaker 2: sword in my hand, right here on this random hillside
Speaker 2: in the woods. And then Thailand. I think, listen, Thailand
Speaker 2: is a fop and kind of a n income poop,
Speaker 2: but I think he shows great bravery here and says, well,
Speaker 2: you know what, my king, I'm gonna stay here too,
Speaker 2: and I'm gonna stand with you and we're going to
Speaker 2: die together, I guess, and that is terrifying, but I'm
Speaker 2: gonna do it, and immediately Thailand's men abandon him, so
Speaker 2: they just like immediately quickly. Laris is like, well, listen,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna leave too, unless the king commands me to stay.
Speaker 2: If the king commands me to say I of course, like, listen,
Speaker 2: I'll stay, but I would prefer to leave. Egon's like, no,
Speaker 2: that's fine, You're useless going You're useless anyway, and then
Speaker 2: Lara says, well, listen, let me sweeten the pot. I
Speaker 2: know this is a bad solution. Let me let me
Speaker 2: tell you what I'm gonna do when I leave here,
Speaker 2: like a fucking coward with my tail talk but firmly
Speaker 2: between my legs. As soon as I get to safety,
Speaker 2: I'm going to spread the word far and right, across
Speaker 2: the wide, across the realm, in verse, in song, in letters,
Speaker 2: in blog posts. I'm going to tell everybody what a
Speaker 2: incredibly courageous king you were, how your last hours were
Speaker 2: spent as a paragon of a virtue and courage, And
Speaker 2: everybody is going to know that you did your duty
Speaker 2: to the last and died a heroic king. Goodbye, and
Speaker 2: he turns and he leaves.
Speaker 3: He's gonna regret that one, it's my opinion.
Speaker 2: Meanwhile, h ooh, Famoon is fine, only found sheep stealer
Speaker 2: and Cratzi's forces sheep Stealer to the ground. Damon runs
Speaker 2: up confronts his daughter Rana. They kind of meet in
Speaker 2: the middle of these dragons, like on this little met
Speaker 2: in this meadow, and of course sheep Stealer is going nuts,
Speaker 2: and Rayina's like, dad, dad, Dad, chill out. I can't
Speaker 2: control this dragon, so just calm know that. And Damon
Speaker 2: is like, listen, you promised me you'd stay in the cave.
Speaker 2: You wouldn't come out, you wouldn't fly the dragon around,
Speaker 2: you wouldn't do all this shit, And what the fuck
Speaker 2: are you doing? Sheep Stealer roars in Damon's face. He
Speaker 2: falls down. He has to tell Krasies to calm down.
Speaker 2: Raina is like, well, I know I said that, but
Speaker 2: instead what I'm gonna do is hunt Vagar and Damon
Speaker 2: is like, that's the stupidest shit I've ever heard. The
Speaker 2: dragon is huge, much bigger than you. You are a
Speaker 2: new dragon, rid who can't control your dragon. You're gonna
Speaker 2: die and she's like, well, I'm gonna die or I'm
Speaker 2: gonna kill Vagar and that will repay my debt to
Speaker 2: the Queen and I'll be able to come back and
Speaker 2: that will make everything right. Damon is like, okay, you
Speaker 2: know what, then let me help you, father and daughter.
Speaker 2: We team up. Here we go kill the dragon. And
Speaker 2: he says like, and I thought this was actually.
Speaker 1: Here.
Speaker 2: I weirdly think that these last few episodes have been
Speaker 2: Damon's kind of most selfless and best moments. Yes, he
Speaker 2: murdered a innocent, hard working sheep, hurt her and put
Speaker 2: his head in the in to the Queen's clutches and
Speaker 2: said that it was you know, she still was rider
Speaker 2: and he lied to it.
Speaker 3: It was just trying to be a good dad, Jason.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was the most selfless thing he's ever done. Really,
Speaker 2: And here he tries his hardest way too late, you know,
Speaker 2: but really tries to connect with with Raina and says,
Speaker 2: you know, like when I was a boy, I also
Speaker 2: didn't have a dragon and it was really hard and
Speaker 2: I should have been a better father, and I really
Speaker 2: really apologize for that. But like, let's let's tim up
Speaker 2: before they can really make a decision on that. Adam
Speaker 2: and uh Raniera and their dragons arrive. Sea Smoking Sea
Speaker 2: Rex appear on the scene. They land, Ranier wants to know,
Speaker 2: you know, addressing Damon like what are you plotting with
Speaker 2: Sheepstealer and the rider like what are you doing? Meanwhile,
Speaker 2: as that has happened, Adam as soon as he landed,
Speaker 2: went on like a forty yard clinfl combine fucking dash
Speaker 2: across the meadow and grassino.
Speaker 5: A question and then just drag hug.
Speaker 1: Yeah, lives her up.
Speaker 2: Drags are back and all is revealed, and Rania is
Speaker 2: fucking furious. She can't believe what she's seeing. Suddenly Sheep
Speaker 2: sarowly gets very very agro and Sea Smoking Crax are
Speaker 2: now fighting sheep Stealer, and we get this, Really, I
Speaker 2: was gonna say, right, a dragon fight, a ground bound
Speaker 2: dragon fight. We've never We've seen them fight in the
Speaker 2: sky a lot, we've never seen them fight on the
Speaker 2: ground like this.
Speaker 3: So and it's a long scene too, like they commit
Speaker 3: to the action. It's like a solid five minutes of
Speaker 3: dragon action.
Speaker 2: Cratzys comes in with Damon riding and manages to not
Speaker 2: sheep Stealer like free of the scrum she smoked with
Speaker 2: Adam and Kratzy's team up on sheep Stealer while Nia
Speaker 2: flies away with Raina on the back of Sea.
Speaker 3: Axe, who she does she protect and she does.
Speaker 2: Now sheep Stealer is quite beat up, but I don't
Speaker 2: think in any kind of way that's like permanently or
Speaker 2: severely injured. But it's clearly got the worst of the fight.
Speaker 3: Wings are looking a bit raggedy, like there's some hole, yeah,
Speaker 3: but like, I don't think it looks like he's gonna
Speaker 3: He's sneaking away to find Raina right like he looks
Speaker 3: to follow. How from what I.
Speaker 2: Saw, Damon is tells Cratzy's okay, kill sheep Stealer, But
Speaker 2: before that can happen, Damon is knocked to the ground
Speaker 2: and sheep Stealer escape, we presume. Meanwhile, back in the
Speaker 2: Red Keep, Missaria shows the brothel manager, Madame Sylvie, her
Speaker 2: only friend in the whole entire world, her only source
Speaker 2: of fucking information anywhere, for the Master of Whispers is
Speaker 2: showing her around the throne room, and Sylvie is like, yeah, yeah, listen,
Speaker 2: the streets are crazy right now.
Speaker 3: People got.
Speaker 2: Have just dead bodies eviscerated bodies times out of control,
Speaker 2: and Massari is like, yeah, I know, and now I'm
Speaker 2: working on it, Like I'm working on the queen. We're
Speaker 2: gonna figure that out. I have the Queen's ear, Okay,
Speaker 2: so I want you to know that I can really
Speaker 2: help with that. So tell me, like all the issues.
Speaker 2: I am the Queen's deputy to hear the consider me
Speaker 2: like the people's advocate in the presence.
Speaker 1: Of the Queen.
Speaker 2: And Sylvie's like, yeah, yeahah, but first of all, you've
Speaker 2: not done dog shit since day one. You've not done
Speaker 2: anything to help the people.
Speaker 3: That just the one the one day, the one day
Speaker 3: of food. That's all she achieved, right, that's it.
Speaker 2: So okay, let's well, let's give you that, but really, like,
Speaker 2: what have you been doing. You've been posted up here
Speaker 2: in the castle wearing dresses that cost more than my
Speaker 2: salary in a year as a as a pimp, and
Speaker 2: you've changed the proximity to power has changed. You open
Speaker 2: your eyes, like the people here, the queen, all the
Speaker 2: people in a small council will never look at you
Speaker 2: as anything other than a whore. Now, I would just
Speaker 2: push back and say that that's one it's probably true,
Speaker 2: but also they're definitely not gonna look at you as
Speaker 2: anything other than a whore. If you never do anything
Speaker 2: your current job, I would I'm exceeding your current job seriously, but.
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna lie. I actually kind of love this
Speaker 3: because one, I love Sylvie's kind of rejection of what
Speaker 3: she what Massaria thinks is gonna happen, which is like
Speaker 3: Sylvie's gonna.
Speaker 4: Come to her and be like, oh yeah, wow, you're
Speaker 4: so powerful now, like this's amazing.
Speaker 3: But I will also say I do think that when
Speaker 3: Sylvie says this to her, I actually think that that
Speaker 3: is advice that Massaria takes, and we see her put
Speaker 3: it into action later.
Speaker 2: I don't she needs to hear it.
Speaker 3: She needs to hear it, but I think she also
Speaker 3: listens to it, and because here's understands her role more.
Speaker 2: Because Massaria like, I'm sorry, babe, and I know I've
Speaker 2: been hard on you all you have a season. The
Speaker 2: only thing that you've done is hook up with the
Speaker 2: queen a couple of times. Like that's literally, let's be real.
Speaker 2: Instead of doing your job, you're trying to fuck the queen.
Speaker 3: Yes, exactly, exactly exactly.
Speaker 2: The Queen returns with Reina and is like, put her somewhere.
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't want to think about this
Speaker 2: bitch bag at heron hall, Amond is again practicing with
Speaker 2: the sword, where Allison comes to see him. She's like, listen,
Speaker 2: I want to talk about this crazy witch that you're dating.
Speaker 2: She wants me out, and I'll leave if that's what
Speaker 2: you want. But if that's not what you want, I'll
Speaker 2: also stick around. And completely unrelated and in a non
Speaker 2: suspicious way, why don't you drink this wine?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Remember this, Remember this very spiced wine that you used
Speaker 5: to not be able to sleep without. And now I'm
Speaker 5: bringing you some completely randomly, and it's definitely very spiced,
Speaker 5: so you wouldn't taste if I put anything in it.
Speaker 2: It's not all I want you to drink this right now.
Speaker 2: Amond is like, well, listen, Alice doesn't trust you. And
Speaker 2: I did try to kill my brother, by the way,
Speaker 2: let me just I admit that right now. Allison is like,
Speaker 2: I know about that. That was just a crazy mistake
Speaker 2: that you made. Drink this fucking wine right now.
Speaker 3: Drink this wine. You're a good boy. There's nothing word
Speaker 3: this wine. I love you. Drink this wine.
Speaker 2: Just drink the wine. Raniera is in her room having
Speaker 2: her hair braided when Damon comes in, and Raniera is like, handmaiden,
Speaker 2: I want you to stay and hear this ship.
Speaker 3: And clearly she the handmaiden is used toll leaving as
Speaker 3: soon as Damon comes in because she doesn't want to
Speaker 3: bec and none of that. It'sists tall Gary in business.
Speaker 3: But she said stay, stay.
Speaker 2: Which is smart. I think it's actually like, this is
Speaker 2: really the smarter things Raniera has done, because she understands
Speaker 2: that gossip will go throughout the castle and she wants
Speaker 2: it on the record, whether Damon is betraying here or not.
Speaker 2: So Damon is like listen, yeah, Damon is like listen,
Speaker 2: Rain is my daughter. I love her and I'm trying
Speaker 2: to be a good dad right now. I don't know
Speaker 2: what to say. Sorry. She made me promise not to
Speaker 2: tell you. She feels really pad that she caused Jason's death,
Speaker 2: and what am I going to do? I'm her dad
Speaker 2: and I want to protect her now, Rania. This is
Speaker 2: another wonderful acting of performance where Rania is both mad,
Speaker 2: but you can also sense that she's a little relieved
Speaker 2: that it's not betrayal.
Speaker 3: And she definitely doesn't see it as betrayal. She's like, well,
Speaker 3: this is the best case scenario. She's like, she's trying
Speaker 3: to feel a good dad and also in her mind,
Speaker 3: let's be real, because we're not. Rane's like this is
Speaker 3: another dragon writer potentially, yes, like that's what they're counting
Speaker 3: right now.
Speaker 4: So like, you know, she she's not stupid, and it's
Speaker 4: so much.
Speaker 3: Better than him, you know, randomly working with the guy
Speaker 3: who purposefully killed Jason the high towers, you know. So
Speaker 3: for her, it's a it's a good it's a good
Speaker 3: turn out.
Speaker 2: She points at the skull of the poor sheep herder
Speaker 2: like on her table, and it's like I had this
Speaker 2: thing cleaned and mounted, and I thought this was the
Speaker 2: guy that killed my son.
Speaker 3: I just looked at millions of times every night.
Speaker 2: Meanwhile, Raina apologizes to Bayla for killing Tiny.
Speaker 3: Scene both really good, really good moment where you just
Speaker 3: it doesn't fucking matter, man, Like there's so much else
Speaker 3: going on right now. Bayla is just fucking happy that
Speaker 3: rain has been.
Speaker 2: Baila's like, listen, I've moved on to Alan.
Speaker 3: I've got two brothers now dating.
Speaker 2: They're chasing me. Big time. Jase was really cute and
Speaker 2: face card and all that, but like this is all
Speaker 2: water under the bridge.
Speaker 4: Yeah that's right, Wills, and I love what she says.
Speaker 3: She says you will start anew, which I'm very excited
Speaker 3: to kind of see what that means for Rainer because
Speaker 3: they did. I really actually ended up loving this arc
Speaker 3: for her, even though I know obviously sad not to
Speaker 3: see Nettles.
Speaker 2: Meanwhile, Alan has received a box and inside of it
Speaker 2: is the sea Snake Corliss's finger in his signet.
Speaker 3: Yes, which we are. We are implied that it was
Speaker 3: Ormond himself who cut it off. So a good because
Speaker 3: he had the knife just before Carless leaves and he's
Speaker 3: like come back. So I kind of like, I like
Speaker 3: the hints of his kind of sociopathic violence that we're getting,
Speaker 3: but not like the full sequences yet.
Speaker 2: Aimond is staggering around Hairn Hall because he's been fucking poisoned.
Speaker 2: He staggers over to Alice. Alice is like, you fucking dummy,
Speaker 2: did I's.
Speaker 3: So good at delivery.
Speaker 6: She literally looks at him and is like idiot, And
Speaker 6: I'm like, yes, I love Alice. I support everything Alice
Speaker 6: wants her right her wrongs whatever, Yeah, you dumb shit.
Speaker 3: Happened.
Speaker 2: Alison is swiftly making her escape from the castle. Question mark,
Speaker 2: where do you like anywhere?
Speaker 3: Like, I'm I'm just so interested. That doesn't seem like
Speaker 3: it's gonna go well for her anywhere.
Speaker 2: But here in King's Landing, Helena is giving birth. The
Speaker 2: guards take the child away, but then she wakes up.
Speaker 3: It's a dream.
Speaker 2: No, she excuse me, She realizes it's a dream. It's
Speaker 2: we realize it's a dream. She then sees herself on
Speaker 2: her dragon dreamfire, burning the small folk as they like
Speaker 2: charge at her.
Speaker 3: And she's wearing like a really interesting dress too. It's
Speaker 3: like it must be very specific.
Speaker 2: The vision then changes again and she's like on this
Speaker 2: idyllic small farm with the gray mare that she saw
Speaker 2: eating chickens, her children, we presume her children around her,
Speaker 2: and just like a very idyllic, utopic kind of scene.
Speaker 2: But then incomes white winds of winter and darkness. We
Speaker 2: cut to her. She can't sleep. She takes the skull
Speaker 2: of the guy and throws it in the fire. She
Speaker 2: goes to see Massaria and is like, we gotta I
Speaker 2: gotta tell you.
Speaker 3: She's so this is Actually, I've realized Brenia's biggest issue. Yeah,
Speaker 3: she has the same issue with Alison Berg. She'd love
Speaker 3: to be gossiping too, like a Sapphok brunette, Like that's
Speaker 3: a favorite thing. She just needs to go tell someone.
Speaker 3: This is what she's Alison too.
Speaker 2: This is I watch Below Deck, a Bravo reality show
Speaker 2: about crews on yachts, and one of the biggest mistakes
Speaker 2: that bo'sun's or people in leadership positions on the yacht
Speaker 2: make is they complain about work or the people that
Speaker 2: they manage to other workers. This is what Rania, Raniera.
Speaker 2: Don't complain to your employee about about other people in
Speaker 2: small council and certainly your husband. That's what are you doing.
Speaker 3: Anyways, he's also a boyfriend by the way.
Speaker 2: Yeah, she's like, you know, Damon wasn't So here's this,
Speaker 2: here's what happened with Sheeps Dealer. It turned out Damon
Speaker 2: wasn't plotting against me. He was just protecting his daughter.
Speaker 2: So that's kind of like that's not good, but that's good, right,
Speaker 2: that's the best version of things. And by the way,
Speaker 2: I'm beginning to think now that you are trying to
Speaker 2: manipulate a wedge between me and Damon and messis like, what.
Speaker 3: Most obvious statement of all time? Like come on, this
Speaker 3: is your your work wife and your real wife arguing
Speaker 3: like come on.
Speaker 2: And so then Massaria, feeling threatened, just pours on this.
Speaker 3: She remembers what Yah Sylvie said in that moment, like
Speaker 3: you are a whore. You're paid to tell them what
Speaker 3: they want to hear. And I have to say, this
Speaker 3: did worry me when it comes to Raniera, because why
Speaker 3: would you believe anything? Massara says, not like I'm not
Speaker 3: even a massari A doubt her that much like you,
Speaker 3: but like she comes out essentially with prophetic words here,
Speaker 3: and it clearly like suits Raniera in a way that
Speaker 3: we haven't seen her be kind of reassured.
Speaker 2: I'll tell you why I think it works for a period,
Speaker 2: why she listens to her? Do you think Raniera has
Speaker 2: encountered any true eaters in her life other than.
Speaker 3: True true, true, That's what I'm saying. I know, I
Speaker 3: mean obviously, because she's only just like oh yeah, you know,
Speaker 3: She's like instantly just like, yes, tell me more. I mean,
Speaker 3: this is obviously what they do, right, Massaria says, You're
Speaker 3: gonna be Queen Rania, and I am so certain of it.
Speaker 3: And then she eats her out and then they make out,
Speaker 3: and you know, pretends she's Allison and so on.
Speaker 2: So Masaria pours it on. She's like, oh, you're gonna win'
Speaker 2: You're gonna win any day now. It's like just giant
Speaker 2: like victory, just yeah, huge victories. You're gonna come. And Rina'
Speaker 2: is like, do you think I'm worthy of it? And
Speaker 2: she's like, oh, of course, I've never been more certain
Speaker 2: that you are the true worthy queen of the realm.
Speaker 2: And they kiss and it's clear that Whiteworm is like this,
Speaker 2: she's in her element. Now to your pot.
Speaker 3: This is how she this is how she can win.
Speaker 3: This is what she has over Ranera that Damon doesn't.
Speaker 3: And it's kind of funny because I think Sylvie, she's good,
Speaker 3: was trying to insult her, but I think she kind
Speaker 3: of reminded her, like, hey, who the fuck are you?
Speaker 2: Great great point. Meanwhile, in the woods, Thailand and Eggon
Speaker 2: are awaiting their fate. The sounds of the mouton host
Speaker 2: drums are getting closer. Thailand pulls his sword out and
Speaker 2: then here they are. The army is a raid before them.
Speaker 2: They order Eggon and Thailand to throw down their arms.
Speaker 2: Eggon is kind of uncertain about what to do next
Speaker 2: for the moment, but then he picks up a sword
Speaker 2: and says, like, I'm not going to surrender to the
Speaker 2: forces of the false Queen. Thailand is recognized by Lord Muten,
Speaker 2: who comes up and it's like, where's the gold, Thailand
Speaker 2: gold broke? Where's the fucking gold. Eggon then says, as
Speaker 2: he faces this huge army, he says, listen and actually
Speaker 2: very courageous speech, courageous moment from he says.
Speaker 3: Just a moment from Thailand, because he says to him,
Speaker 3: Eggon's considering and he says, I gonna flee after all that.
Speaker 3: And then Eggon turns around and gives the speech which
Speaker 3: is fucking bang off.
Speaker 2: He says, behold me now, I am Eggon Targarian, Vissaru's
Speaker 2: true air, all his gives all his titles the army.
Speaker 2: As you know, he's giving this an a straw imperious voice,
Speaker 2: you know, in the army day and backing up and
Speaker 2: Eggon you can see his confidence rising and he's he
Speaker 2: thinks that it's the power of his speech that is
Speaker 2: causing you know the power of a true king's words
Speaker 2: that is causing this army to back up like this.
Speaker 2: And he's like, holy shit, they're scared of me because
Speaker 2: I'm the true king.
Speaker 1: But really it's because Sunfire.
Speaker 2: The mortally it seemed injured and dead dragon has come
Speaker 2: back to life. Man right behind him and looking, yeah,
Speaker 2: it looks like its eye is half cut out.
Speaker 3: And it's very egg uncoded. Because that rains.
Speaker 2: Fire on this army and destroys them.
Speaker 3: And Tyler looks like he is regretting standing next to
Speaker 3: a tagary and honestly, I think he would have robed died.
Speaker 2: Elsewhere. Ulf is having a bit of ale and a
Speaker 2: bit of steak with Lord Ormond.
Speaker 3: And.
Speaker 2: This is Ormond's plot. Ormond is like, listen, tell me
Speaker 2: if this is true. I heard that Damon Targerian beat
Speaker 2: your ass.
Speaker 3: I told you this. I told you that I was
Speaker 3: going to cut back and bite Damon.
Speaker 2: In the middle of the street in front of all
Speaker 2: your low class friends. Is that true?
Speaker 1: How terrible?
Speaker 2: How humiliating for someone your stature of everything you, despite
Speaker 2: everything you've done for Raniera and Damon and he beats
Speaker 2: your ass like that?
Speaker 1: Are you fucking kidding me.
Speaker 2: And he's like, listen, I know, I don't know what
Speaker 2: you've been promised. And All is like, oh, I've been
Speaker 2: promised the Honeyhold castle and he's a honeyhold.
Speaker 1: Who said honeyhole ship box?
Speaker 3: Honey wants that?
Speaker 1: You want that fucking piece of ship?
Speaker 2: What about drift mark the seat of you know, one
Speaker 2: of the most important people in the realm currently until
Speaker 2: I kill him, Lord Corlis, Lord, and how about I
Speaker 2: name you or technically King Darren, But like he'll do
Speaker 2: what I say, Yeah, I name you Lord of the tides.
Speaker 2: How does that sound? You've ever been on a boat.
Speaker 2: This guy's never been on.
Speaker 3: A boat, on a fucking boat.
Speaker 2: He's gonna be master of that is, master ships and
Speaker 2: Lord of the tides. But alf is like, alf is
Speaker 2: clearly taking them like that sounds great.
Speaker 3: Ormond has this great lost line where he says, they'll
Speaker 3: laugh at you no longer once they see you for
Speaker 3: who you are, and off goes, Yeah, they'll bun And
Speaker 3: I was like, oh, he's got that talg avery of madness.
Speaker 3: May he's still fucking got it.
Speaker 4: He's still got it.
Speaker 3: I cannot wait. I mean, let's yeah, let's go to
Speaker 3: a break, and I can ask you all my questions
Speaker 3: because obviously big change is there.
Speaker 2: And we are back. Lots of stuff going on, great
Speaker 2: episode and mane, the season is really building too. Several
Speaker 2: breaking points. Damon, Alison, Aim and Aim and Alice someone
Speaker 2: in there somewhere, some relationship is going to be altered forever. Now.
Speaker 2: Alison just tried to kill her son, so you would
Speaker 2: imagine that they are done forever. But Alice has been
Speaker 2: working so hard all season two finally find someone who
Speaker 2: will build this kingdom in Haron Hall with her, and
Speaker 2: the question is will it be aimined or not? So
Speaker 2: that's one fracture. Then we've got Ranier and Damon that
Speaker 2: seems to be tied up, or Ranier and Massaria it
Speaker 2: seems like they Missaria is on stronger footing after once
Speaker 2: more laying with the queen, but both of them can't
Speaker 2: win the Queen's favor. One of them has to lose,
Speaker 2: So someone's gonna lose there. Then you have the apparent
Speaker 2: betrayal of alf and Off and his you know where's
Speaker 2: he gonna stand after he apparently turns his cloak.
Speaker 3: Hugh will turn with him because his wife didn't. Because
Speaker 3: we had that huge moment lost episode where his wife
Speaker 3: you know, didn't want him anymore. She was like, you've
Speaker 3: done all of this for a fucking dragon, Like I
Speaker 3: don't want you. She's obviously been sexually assaulted. Like do
Speaker 3: you think we could see Alf manage to convince or
Speaker 3: trust you with that? Or is this going to be
Speaker 3: a singular OFLF betrayal?
Speaker 2: I wonder. I will say that I doubt alf'sability to
Speaker 2: convince you or anyone to do anything as drastic as that.
Speaker 2: And then if Hugh does turn his cloak, it will
Speaker 2: be for his own reasons. Okay, that makes sense, But
Speaker 2: so where do you think we why should we go
Speaker 2: with any of these? Alison Alison Amon of the ones
Speaker 2: is the one I'm most.
Speaker 4: That's the one I'm most interested in.
Speaker 3: Two. One because I think that they're playing with a
Speaker 3: really fun time that we don't know about. Two because
Speaker 3: I thought the sequence with Alison and Aimond and Alice
Speaker 3: was so good, like the moment when he holds Alice's
Speaker 3: hand and then immediately holds his mother's hand, and also
Speaker 3: the whole unsullied Prince's thing was definitely making it sound
Speaker 3: to me like he was trying to have some mum
Speaker 3: incest going on there, so yeah, I think that's going
Speaker 3: to be really interesting. I want to know where Alison goes,
Speaker 3: like I want to know where she goes. I also
Speaker 3: was kind of reminded of who she truly is, because
Speaker 3: everyone knows I'm an Alison apologist. But there was this
Speaker 3: great moment last episode where Helena asked her, you know,
Speaker 3: did anyone else ask to marry me? And she just
Speaker 3: lies to her face because Vaniera offered Jase right to
Speaker 3: marry her, and I kind of I'm thinking a lot
Speaker 3: about the Helena of it all. I want to see
Speaker 3: where her story goes at this point, and I do
Speaker 3: feel like the connection between her and Amend is going
Speaker 3: to be key because she is the reason that Allison
Speaker 3: is there right now because she knew Amend was at
Speaker 3: Haaren Hall. Like, they have that connection, and I think
Speaker 3: whatever happens, she will at least be a player part
Speaker 3: in it. But I'm really interested in how they're going
Speaker 3: to tie up that or leave us somewhere with that
Speaker 3: that doesn't intersect with what is inevitably coming, which is
Speaker 3: clearly going to be another battle, right Like is there
Speaker 3: is it gonna be this kind of face down in Tumbleton.
Speaker 2: It's gonna be gonna be It's got to be Tumbleton. Yes,
Speaker 2: it's gonna be a huge I think Scrum and Tumbleton
Speaker 2: as the winter Wolves and the Rivermen close, and then
Speaker 2: you know what happens with Alf. Does he indeed go
Speaker 2: over to Darren and Ormond's side. What kind of devastation
Speaker 2: would that reek? And what will I don't know, what
Speaker 2: does winning in Tumulton even look like? That's why I'm wondering.
Speaker 3: I do think Jason maybe part because you know, what
Speaker 3: I thought was interesting that Darren was asking, was like,
Speaker 3: why you routing so much problems in King's Landing.
Speaker 4: I wonder if Ormond is kind of hoping.
Speaker 3: That Ulf will lead some kind of like small folk
Speaker 3: uprising against Raniera, even though you know he's not doing
Speaker 3: it for a good reason. It's just like he knows
Speaker 3: Ulf has that ear Ulf was. He mentions that Ulf
Speaker 3: was insulted in front of them. Alf's gonna have this
Speaker 3: dragon he's risen up. I wonder if he's hoping that fermenting,
Speaker 3: that is, those issues in King's Landing will will make
Speaker 3: people happy if the Tumbletonians make it to King's landing,
Speaker 3: you know, to put Darren on the throne. But it
Speaker 3: feels like a lot in two more episodes eight and nine.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's good, it feels like a lot. I will
Speaker 2: say that Missaria's I feel that Missaria's downfall is coming.
Speaker 3: Oh definitely.
Speaker 2: I think this will be the best moment for her
Speaker 2: in terms of her influence. Mm hmm on the Queen
Speaker 2: this this episode, because I mean, she's just talking shit now.
Speaker 2: She's always gonna win. You're gonna win any second based
Speaker 2: on what again, Master whispers, like what tell me? Something
Speaker 2: tells you're just saying anything to keep your job right now.
Speaker 2: And I think Damon, weirdly, despite the fact that he
Speaker 2: lied to Raniera, has shown himself to be loyal to
Speaker 2: his family in a way that almost makes him more
Speaker 2: authentic and more trustable.
Speaker 7: I think to Rennera, I would also say he truly
Speaker 7: is a believer in her off to seeing the vision
Speaker 7: at Haaren Hole, so like, in that way, he believes
Speaker 7: she is the future of the Tagarians.
Speaker 3: So I think that makes him inherently loyal because he
Speaker 3: cares about the legacy and the idea of them as
Speaker 3: kind of gods. I also, Jason, Let's talk a little
Speaker 3: bit about sunfight. Is the resurrection the death and resurrection
Speaker 3: in the books? Is that?
Speaker 2: Yes and no? So Sunfire do just get grievously uh
Speaker 2: like injured. When Eggon, you know, unfortunately enters a fight,
Speaker 2: he was like unprepared for. The dragon was like had
Speaker 2: one wing torn off and then was down. But it
Speaker 2: never appears to be dead. It's just like crawling around
Speaker 2: like on the ground.
Speaker 3: But we obviously saw this kind of like version where
Speaker 3: people perceived it as that.
Speaker 2: Yes, And I will say, I mean Laris is not
Speaker 2: gonna have to dig very deep into his bag of
Speaker 2: tricks to make this story sound good. The king, the
Speaker 2: king and its end his dragon, who were both apparently
Speaker 2: dead many many thousands of people saw the dead dragon.
Speaker 2: Now they have both come back to life. I mean,
Speaker 2: it's like a messianic story.
Speaker 3: Sounds anointed by the gods. It's what he's going to
Speaker 3: be relying on.
Speaker 2: This is going to be a tremendous propaganda wind for
Speaker 2: Eggon and the Greens, And it's gonna be the kind
Speaker 2: of story that tells it's you don't even need to
Speaker 2: get out there and be telling people about this. People
Speaker 2: will be talking about this dragon was one hundred percent dead,
Speaker 2: dead dead. We were charging money for people to come
Speaker 2: up and like touch it, and the penny gale off
Speaker 2: and it was dead. And now it's alive and the
Speaker 2: king is alive. I mean, this shit is going to
Speaker 2: be tremendous, stabilizing. It's a huge feather in Eggon's cap.
Speaker 3: Does it make it back to kings Landing before? I
Speaker 3: don't know?
Speaker 2: Can it fly?
Speaker 3: Like That's why I'm trying to walk out, Like does
Speaker 3: the news make it back? Does some time make it back?
Speaker 2: Like the news will travel.
Speaker 3: The news will travel by the time it's going to
Speaker 3: get there by the next time.
Speaker 2: I say, this is going to be the most shocking.
Speaker 2: I think it far and away beyond anything else. This
Speaker 2: will shake Rania's.
Speaker 3: Because she wants to know, Oh my god, you're right.
Speaker 3: She might just fucking kill Missyria in the morning if
Speaker 3: she hears this shit, because Massari I just promised her
Speaker 3: she's on the verge of this great victory. And this
Speaker 3: motherfucker appears from the dead. And I want to say
Speaker 3: again about these connections with the dragons and how I
Speaker 3: love that they're showing it. When Eggon was in hiding
Speaker 3: and he was denying who he was, Sunfire was not
Speaker 3: there for him, and the moment he stood up and
Speaker 3: claimed his name and stood as Eggon Targarian, the dragon
Speaker 3: returned to life. You know, there is this like such
Speaker 3: a fucking cool, powerful magic connection there that obviously because
Speaker 3: we have only ever really seen a few dragons in
Speaker 3: the previous Game of Thrones, this, I feel like, is
Speaker 3: just really getting into that myth and kind of intrigue
Speaker 3: that is so freaking cool. And I have to say,
Speaker 3: a hero moment for Eggon, something he hasn't had in
Speaker 3: the whole show, right, but he gets to have it
Speaker 3: in that moment, like this huge for him, whether however
Speaker 3: you feel about him and the Greens and the Black
Speaker 3: Contingent or whatever. Like you, you are in a situation
Speaker 3: where in that moment you fucking buy that speech. And
Speaker 3: when they do the Sumfire reveal and both some fire
Speaker 3: and egg On a burn, it's so fucking righteous and
Speaker 3: cool and it feels like if IRA's Veniera, I would
Speaker 3: take that as a sign that the gods were against me.
Speaker 3: Like's only that.
Speaker 2: But Renio, remember has been drilled by her father and
Speaker 2: by Damon that she is the queen of Destiny. She
Speaker 2: has to take the throne. The gods favor her. She's
Speaker 2: the only one that can stop the White Walkers, although
Speaker 2: they're not termed as such in this moment, but the
Speaker 2: only one that can stop like this eternal darkness. And
Speaker 2: yet it acts does seem as if the gods have
Speaker 2: thrown nothing but like obstacles in her way. And here's
Speaker 2: gonna Eggon's gonna appear on the scene now with this
Speaker 2: crazy news that he's come back from the dead and
Speaker 2: the Dragon's come back from the dead, and it's going
Speaker 2: to look to the entire realm right that the gods
Speaker 2: actually favor him, not her, And I just think it's
Speaker 2: going to be it's going to drive her over the
Speaker 2: edge in a way that we actually don't know how
Speaker 2: she will react to this, because I think that this
Speaker 2: cuts directly to everything everyone has been telling her about
Speaker 2: fate and destiny and the reason that she is the
Speaker 2: person to rule like it. She has to hold on
Speaker 2: to that prophecy that it's her because it's her whole
Speaker 2: reason for having legitimacy and authority, and that is going
Speaker 2: to be directly challenged by the fact that the Eggon
Speaker 2: is and has come back to life with his dragon.
Speaker 3: Okay, wait a minute, what does this mean for Ormond though,
Speaker 3: Because if he's making this claim that Darren is the
Speaker 3: king and he's leaning into the idea of the faith
Speaker 3: and everything, does this now put him on the back
Speaker 3: foot or does he? I mean, obviously he's not going
Speaker 3: to back a targarian, but Egon is a green So
Speaker 3: where do you think that leaves them?
Speaker 2: Well, I think it will remains to be seen. My
Speaker 2: sense is that Ormond would not be terribly worried about
Speaker 2: it because Eggon doesn't have an army at the moment,
Speaker 2: although and yeah, and he's got bigger fish to fry,
Speaker 2: like he's got a huge army that's bearing down on
Speaker 2: him in multiple dragons, although he has turned one to
Speaker 2: his side theoretically, so I think he will see if
Speaker 2: the news reaches him and if he has time to
Speaker 2: concentrate on it.
Speaker 3: I kind of love this too, because you make such
Speaker 3: a good point, Like to him, it's just like bad
Speaker 3: news on a Tuesday, like, oh, that's annoying. But he
Speaker 3: wields the faith in a way to get people to
Speaker 3: believe in him. It's very interesting that Raniera, who is
Speaker 3: not accepted by the faith, this will shake her in
Speaker 3: her fucking boots. But to Ormond, it's just going to
Speaker 3: be like, oh, well, just some other fucking to Gary
Speaker 3: and I don't care about that says a lot about
Speaker 3: them and about where Renera's head is. Oh my goodness,
Speaker 3: I just sort of can't really believe where we're at
Speaker 3: with this, obviously again going into unseated territory because of
Speaker 3: the Nettles change.
Speaker 4: Do we get to see Rainer ride sheep.
Speaker 3: Stealer again this season? Like?
Speaker 4: Will she ride with her family? Do you think that's
Speaker 4: gonna happen?
Speaker 2: I think, I mean she will ride the dragon again,
Speaker 2: but I because they will like very likely need her to. Yeah,
Speaker 2: now that they're going to be theoretically down a dragon's
Speaker 2: switching sides. But I don't know if we see it
Speaker 2: this season.
Speaker 3: I know that was trying to work out, right, Yeah,
Speaker 3: it would be really tough.
Speaker 4: Maybe her and Damon fly it together at some point
Speaker 4: or something.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I would love to see. I think that's certainly in
Speaker 2: the offering, that they would ride together and he would
Speaker 2: help her control her dragon. I think we might see that.
Speaker 2: Crazy we were heading towards.
Speaker 3: Day this season is just edible crazy to me like
Speaker 3: the way that they have been able to basically take
Speaker 3: what was a very intimate chamber drama set within the
Speaker 3: walls of kings Landing and kind of shift it this
Speaker 3: season into every episode is, in my opinion, like a
Speaker 3: very high quality episode of Game of Thrones, with the action,
Speaker 3: with the bombast, with the crazy, like a five minute
Speaker 3: groundbound dragon fight where I really thought sheep Stealer was
Speaker 3: going to get killed, and then I thought that was
Speaker 3: going to cause a problem between Rayner and the family
Speaker 3: because obviously she does have that connection. Yeah, I just
Speaker 3: I don't know, man, I'm so stoked for these next
Speaker 3: two episodes, Like, I just feel like it's going to
Speaker 3: be great.
