Speaker 1: can you talk about that at all? I mean I
Speaker 1: up until until a point yeah, yeah, yeah. You know,
Speaker 1: we went to a brewery that was great. You know,
Speaker 1: that was a good time. Uh got to taste some
Speaker 1: different flavored beer. Coachella Valley Brewing Company. Really, they took
Speaker 1: good care of us. They you know, when I was
Speaker 1: getting ready to pay, I was gonna go to pay
Speaker 1: for my brother who is the bachelor, and he was like, oh,
Speaker 1: we already took care of the bachelor. And that was
Speaker 1: real sweet of them. So shout them out. Go down there, delicious, Bruce.
Speaker 1: I'm a big sweet brew They they had brewery tours
Speaker 1: at like six and we ended up the lift driver
Speaker 1: was wild out of this world and ended up getting
Speaker 1: us their six fifteen and I was like, I don't
Speaker 1: know if we can still squeeze one in there, like yeah,
Speaker 1: no problem, and they took us and we were like
Speaker 1: it was so funny, so full disclosure, like me and
Speaker 1: my brother, like I said, I'm from Compton. These are
Speaker 1: all our friends mostly from Compton. Rudy who's our cousin,
Speaker 1: also from Compton, and so like when I was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: we're gonna go to uh this this brewery, and they
Speaker 1: all looked at so we're just gonna drink beers and
Speaker 1: I was like, well there's more there. They like taste good,
Speaker 1: they're like craft beers. And I'm like and I could
Speaker 1: tell no one, no one was really really on the
Speaker 1: on on the train and then like everyone got their
Speaker 1: first round and like tasted on and then we went
Speaker 1: on the tour. Everyone was locked in and then by
Speaker 1: then we're getting a little toasty, so we're super in.
Speaker 1: I this weekend went to wonder Con and I don't
Speaker 1: know if you saw my pictures, but it was also
Speaker 1: wild who were getting wild? Did you see my Chippendales?
Speaker 1: It was Chippendale the rescue rangers dressed up like chippen nails.
Speaker 1: The strippers they were in like g strings, they had
Speaker 1: little dollar bills. They even had a radio that they
Speaker 1: took with them and it would like blast music that
Speaker 1: they would dance to. And Ben Simon, my friend who's
Speaker 1: also on Crazy Ex Girlfriend, he pointed out and he
Speaker 1: was like, Oh, that's the radio from a brave little toaster.
Speaker 1: So did the full callback and not only did I
Speaker 1: stop them, but later when I was on a panel,
Speaker 1: they were sitting in the audience of my panel and
Speaker 1: they're like, Hey, we we like that interaction we had earlier.
Speaker 1: We're gonna come and made them get up and uh
Speaker 1: and show themselves. Show yourself, show what the word that
Speaker 1: you've done. Yeah, it was a spicy con. There are
Speaker 1: a lot of spicies. Somebody else was there that had
Speaker 1: the panel right before mine, and it is our lovely
Speaker 1: guest today. She's a tech and gaming host, Tricia Hershberger.
Speaker 1: Thank you for having me. Yeah, you were literally coming
Speaker 1: off your panel as I was going onto onto the stage. Ye.
Speaker 1: What panel was that. I'm trying to think which one
Speaker 1: was right before yours. I believe it was the Building
Speaker 1: a Geek brand panel. So just kind of, you know,
Speaker 1: telling people how you can turn your passion into your
Speaker 1: living and giving advice to people who are maybe still
Speaker 1: in the start up phase. So a lot of Q
Speaker 1: and A in that panel to help everybody tackle their
Speaker 1: individual challenges. But it was really fun. Yeah. I think
Speaker 1: the panel that I had, weirdly right after yours was
Speaker 1: my LGBT and minority host how to break Through, so
Speaker 1: kind of the same thing. Yeah, lots of info nuggets,
Speaker 1: how to do what we what we do, But you're right,
Speaker 1: wonder Con was totally wild. I saw some out of
Speaker 1: this World cause plays. Um. I also saw the Chippendale
Speaker 1: Dancing Chippendale, which was hilarious. But yeah, some really really
Speaker 1: fun crossover stuff. I met a guy at Latino Underscore
Speaker 1: Joker on Instagram who did the best Joker makeup I
Speaker 1: think I may have ever seen in a cosplay. He
Speaker 1: was amazing. Um, And I saw a Janine with the Ghostbusters,
Speaker 1: but like a Janine all packed out and ready to
Speaker 1: go fight some ghosts, which as a kid that watched
Speaker 1: the eighties cartoon all the time in the nineties cartoon,
Speaker 1: that was a big deal for me to see Janine.
Speaker 1: So I got my picture with Janine. Some guy committed
Speaker 1: as Lego Batman and he was like three times my size,
Speaker 1: like he was actually in this boxing as a lego
Speaker 1: batman and I'm like, how is he walking? I mean
Speaker 1: the commitment. I yeah, I posted on like my instant stories. Yeah.
Speaker 1: One Comic Con I dressed up. My buddy had a
Speaker 1: web comment called Glamorrock Gorilla and I just so happened
Speaker 1: to have a gorilla outfit and he had this leather
Speaker 1: jacket made. That was what the gorilla ward in the
Speaker 1: web comics. So I walked around in a gorilla costume,
Speaker 1: wearing a leather jacket on top of the gorilla costume,
Speaker 1: and it was hot, it was it was not fun.
Speaker 1: So that's why whenever I see these like full suit costplays,
Speaker 1: I'm like, I respect you because I've been there and
Speaker 1: it's hot and good friend. Yeah, you know, I'd like
Speaker 1: to support people, and it's it's it's not a new thing.
Speaker 1: I've always supported the homies brands. That is also why
Speaker 1: when you see some of us that are in not
Speaker 1: very much clothing, that is why. Because Comic Con is
Speaker 1: in July in the summer and it's hot as hell
Speaker 1: out in San Diego. So, um, we all know what
Speaker 1: happened if he when I broke my um, I was
Speaker 1: wearing a one piece too. Right before my Nerdice panel,
Speaker 1: I was at Skybound doing a panel and I went
Speaker 1: to the bathroom with Rika Ishi, who's one of our friends,
Speaker 1: and um my zipper broke like just completely. So it
Speaker 1: was like down to my navel was just everything was out.
Speaker 1: Oh no. Yeah. So if he said no, just rocket,
Speaker 1: it's a look and I'm like, yeah, no, if I
Speaker 1: like turned to the side, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: I was like, if I turned to a side, I'm
Speaker 1: going to be in trouble. Look at some people on
Speaker 1: the stream, because not only was Nerdiced, um we did
Speaker 1: a live show, but there was also a stream two
Speaker 1: of our live show, and so I was like, some people, look,
Speaker 1: I don't care if you see you know, boobs might
Speaker 1: allowed to say that on here. I don't care if
Speaker 1: you see a boob, um, but I think some people
Speaker 1: in the stream might care. Some people in the stream
Speaker 1: might not care, but then some people will care. Anyways. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's those castplay repair carts that run around now. By
Speaker 1: the way, should you have that happen at a future con?
Speaker 1: There are cosplay of repair people that are actually a
Speaker 1: lot of times their crafters and costumers themselves that instead
Speaker 1: of cause playing at the con want to just like
Speaker 1: do a good deed and run around and we'll fix
Speaker 1: your cause plays for free. Oh my gosh, I would
Speaker 1: have paid them. Nobody had safety pins, nobody had tape.
Speaker 1: It was a nightmare. Yeah, I mean, speaking of boobs. Today,
Speaker 1: we're here to talk about the Game of Thrones from
Speaker 1: the books to the TV series. I mean, I feel
Speaker 1: like that's that's kind of like the same way kind
Speaker 1: of you get the you know, nerd world in intersecting
Speaker 1: with the mainstream. I feel like Game of Thrones was
Speaker 1: like one of the more recent nerd property, nerd properties
Speaker 1: that got like the mainstream interested. And I think, you know,
Speaker 1: being as like R rated as it is is what
Speaker 1: got people going because they're like, yeah, this isn't like
Speaker 1: Harry Potter Man, there's like boobs, and well, let me
Speaker 1: just tell you there's tons of boobs in the books too.
Speaker 1: And the books were around way before the show and
Speaker 1: they were not mainstream. Like if you were like, oh, man,
Speaker 1: I want to share this very large book with you
Speaker 1: by a man named George R. Martin, people were like,
Speaker 1: get out of here with that stuff. But now that
Speaker 1: it's a TV show, when it's on HBO. Everybody's loving it, Fatricia.
Speaker 1: I grew up with boobs and anime and Hentie, so
Speaker 1: I hear you before it was big. But you know, also,
Speaker 1: what's crazy about it is if you were like if
Speaker 1: you did reel someone in and they're like, yeah, yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: I'm in, and when can I expect the next book?
Speaker 1: And you have to be like, I don't know, maybe
Speaker 1: in a decade we see oh yeah the space between
Speaker 1: these books and make me glad that I got into
Speaker 1: it when I did, because I would have lost my
Speaker 1: mind because I was on the internet very early, so
Speaker 1: I would have been banned from the Internet way quicker
Speaker 1: because I would have been yelling at George armanin when's
Speaker 1: the next book coming out? Dude? So many people do that.
Speaker 1: He's like, so over it? Have you sure? Have you
Speaker 1: seen his interviews where like people are like him, what
Speaker 1: do you? What do you say to the people that think,
Speaker 1: due to your health, you're not going to make it
Speaker 1: to finish the next book? And he just flips off
Speaker 1: the camera. He's like, so over it. So that's a
Speaker 1: gross question to ask somebody, So die before you might
Speaker 1: die before this comes out? What do you how do
Speaker 1: you feel about under normal circumstances, I think it was
Speaker 1: it would be a gross scaracter. But this man has
Speaker 1: waited ten to fifteen years between books. And if you're
Speaker 1: how many books are in the series right now, like
Speaker 1: I think five or six, so you're six books and
Speaker 1: you're like, I might not see how this is. I
Speaker 1: think we've gotten excerpts from the six. Really listen, Brad
Speaker 1: Bird took fourteen years before Incredibles to that's also true.
Speaker 1: There are people who, I mean, let's not even get
Speaker 1: started on Kingdom Hearts three, Like, there are people who
Speaker 1: did not live to see I Love. It's been like
Speaker 1: hit or Mess. But it's ridiculous. It's a ridiculous game.
Speaker 1: There are plot holes everywhere. It's the most convoluted narrative
Speaker 1: that ever exists. But let me just tell you when
Speaker 1: the teacups come out from the ground and start slaughtering people,
Speaker 1: it is awesome. I guess we should have mentioned that
Speaker 1: this is a spoiler. This is going to be spoiler
Speaker 1: heavy for a Game of Thrones if you haven't seen it.
Speaker 1: It's kind of hard to tackle the series as we
Speaker 1: go into season by season without spoiling something. So if
Speaker 1: that does bother you and you're planning to, I don't know,
Speaker 1: catch it and binge it before it comes out this weekend.
Speaker 1: You might wanna take a not a nightcap, you might
Speaker 1: want a nightcap and all so rain check, that's the
Speaker 1: word I was looking for. Yeah, So just before we
Speaker 1: go into the meat of the books, just so people
Speaker 1: are just really understanding what I'm talking about. Game of
Speaker 1: Thrones was published in nine six sequel A Clash of Kings,
Speaker 1: not bad, right, Storm of Swords in the year two thousand, alright,
Speaker 1: not bad? Uh, And then in November two thousand and five,
Speaker 1: A Feast for Crows, the fourth novel comes out, and
Speaker 1: you're like, all right, that's a bit longer. And then
Speaker 1: the fifth book, A Dance with Dragons, is published in
Speaker 1: two thousand and eleven, six years later, and I think
Speaker 1: that's where we last left off, and it is now
Speaker 1: we've been getting teased with excerpts excerpts, and it is
Speaker 1: two thousand nineteen. So we went from two years to
Speaker 1: five years to six years to now we are eight
Speaker 1: years in counting to be fair, the man executive produced
Speaker 1: is lots of different titles and stuff. Now his career
Speaker 1: has blossomed also, Yeah, because he's definitely made that shift
Speaker 1: in the TV which you know, based on want to
Speaker 1: hear writing money is versus TV money. I can see
Speaker 1: why he's like, oh, this is going wait while I
Speaker 1: make this money money. Uh and he actually is eping
Speaker 1: a Nigerian offer neca for who I knew about before.
Speaker 1: You know, the brothers came on to talk about it
Speaker 1: and I was very interesting. So it was a very
Speaker 1: small world moment when they're like, oh, she's our mentor.
Speaker 1: Uh so so yeah, so nice little callback. Let's jump
Speaker 1: in two Game of Thrones. Yes, so, um, Tricia, what
Speaker 1: what so? You read the books? When did you first
Speaker 1: get your hands on them? Like, how old were you
Speaker 1: and what was Let's see, was it when they came
Speaker 1: out or was it years after I was in my
Speaker 1: late teens? Yeah, I was in my late teens, so
Speaker 1: it would have been after probably after the first three
Speaker 1: were already out. Um, and that's when I got the
Speaker 1: first one and I actually picked up and put it
Speaker 1: back down three times before I finished it. Yeah, let's
Speaker 1: talk about that because off air you were mentioning that
Speaker 1: you read a lot of fantasy novels. I'm more of
Speaker 1: a sci fi guy. Um, but you were saying how
Speaker 1: it was a hard read and how like with me
Speaker 1: there was no frame of reference. I think Game of
Speaker 1: Thrones was my first fantasy in since I was very little.
Speaker 1: I was like, way too young. I think I was
Speaker 1: in third or fourth grade, maybe seventh when I first
Speaker 1: tried to pick up the Hobbit and it just wasn't
Speaker 1: popping off the page. How I wanted to Yeah, not
Speaker 1: to seven year old Iffy, But this was seven year
Speaker 1: old Iffy who already found anime. So like, this needs
Speaker 1: to go which which is you know, also ironic since
Speaker 1: I watched DBZ, which takes a moment to get to
Speaker 1: the action. But with me, I was like, no, I
Speaker 1: wanted the goblin stabbing something page three. Uh. But so, like,
Speaker 1: what were the types of fantasy novels you were reading
Speaker 1: before you decided to pick up a Game of Throne,
Speaker 1: Lord of the Rings? Um A lot of the books
Speaker 1: in the Token Verse, the dragon Lance novels back in
Speaker 1: the day, So that's the kind of stuff I was into.
Speaker 1: So I was into kind of high fantasy, Like I
Speaker 1: like my magic, I like my dragons, and uh, the
Speaker 1: first Game of Thrones book doesn't have a lot of that.
Speaker 1: The first book is a lot of politics, which this
Speaker 1: series I feel like does a lot better than the
Speaker 1: book does. So you're going through the book and you know,
Speaker 1: there are parts that are incredibly slow and drawn out,
Speaker 1: and a lot of In most fantasy novels, a lot
Speaker 1: of the characters either have multiple names or have names
Speaker 1: that sound very similar, so you're constantly flipping to the
Speaker 1: back of the book to remember who's who, without having
Speaker 1: the benefit that we now have of the show where
Speaker 1: we can visualize the character to put with a name. Um.
Speaker 1: So I found the first book to be a very
Speaker 1: hard read until I got to the end, which, again
Speaker 1: we're spoiler alerting this if you've watched seasons one through seven,
Speaker 1: come on with us for this ride until the end
Speaker 1: of the first book, which ends much like the end
Speaker 1: of the first season with denari'skving birth to the Three Dragons.
Speaker 1: So at that point I was like, oh, where's the
Speaker 1: next book? I'm so is until then I was like,
Speaker 1: this is politics. Yeah, that's that's that's really what it was.
Speaker 1: And to me, I was as a sci fi guy
Speaker 1: that I was into that because sci fi is a
Speaker 1: lot of like hyper politics and and and you know space,
Speaker 1: you know, like very bureaucratic in their like space wars
Speaker 1: and exchanges of power. So I was like locked in
Speaker 1: and that I had to And funny enough, even with
Speaker 1: all that, I still had that same moment where I
Speaker 1: was like, oh, dragons are real, because like in throughout
Speaker 1: the first book, it's almost like it's fable. Those times
Speaker 1: are pasted, there are no and so you're like, I
Speaker 1: was like, Okay, so this is gonna be a fantasy
Speaker 1: that doesn't do much fantasy. And then they're like, nope,
Speaker 1: psych that's the wrong number. And actually, I take that
Speaker 1: back the very beginning snippet In the beginning of the book,
Speaker 1: there's magic and fantasy and then you forget about it
Speaker 1: for the whole rest of the book. But the first
Speaker 1: season does that exact same thing, where we get that
Speaker 1: scene with the White Walkers in the very beginning, and
Speaker 1: then it skips all the way well I shouldn't say
Speaker 1: it skips, but then politics, politics, politics, all the way
Speaker 1: to the magic at the end of the first season.
Speaker 1: But I think if you're going back to what you
Speaker 1: were saying about having that more mass appeal, I think
Speaker 1: the fact that it is so grounded in kind of
Speaker 1: reality and the politics of it all is what brings
Speaker 1: in your mainstream viewing public, because I think if they
Speaker 1: saw magic and dragons and all that right from the beginning,
Speaker 1: they wouldn't believe it, Whereas now they're already invested in
Speaker 1: the reality of that world, so they're more apt to believe,
Speaker 1: Oh crap, there's dragons. You know. That's that's a good
Speaker 1: point because there are like I have talked to friends
Speaker 1: who are trying to get their friends into the show
Speaker 1: now and it's kind of being that same argument. Was like, oh,
Speaker 1: you mean the Dragon show, And it was like to
Speaker 1: to call it the dragon show when we have waited
Speaker 1: and worked so hard to to to get to the dragons.
Speaker 1: It is true. Well, and you know, right before, so
Speaker 1: if we're talking about the show right before Game of Thrones,
Speaker 1: that slot was True Blood and I grew up like
Speaker 1: I was watching True Blood. Same thing. Yeah, vampires, a
Speaker 1: lot of sex. Yes, that's how they got people in.
Speaker 1: I mean, wow, wow, first episode. Wow, this is how
Speaker 1: much of a hyper nerd. I was just like, oh,
Speaker 1: you get to see rogues boobs. I mean, but I
Speaker 1: agree because so I remember like everyone, oh yeah, everyone
Speaker 1: in my family watched it. I remember, like my I
Speaker 1: would go over and watch it with my cousin and
Speaker 1: her husband, and it was like, so, I don't know,
Speaker 1: so raunchy, but like they weren't into sci fi fantasy
Speaker 1: and that type of stuff, like that type of lure,
Speaker 1: and I think because they kind of made it like,
Speaker 1: oh no, it's kind of like a soap opera slash
Speaker 1: drama slash just skinnamax essentially is what helps get it
Speaker 1: get it in. And True Blood actually calmed down a
Speaker 1: bit after that first season. That first season, but it
Speaker 1: got hella magical. The sex came down and then it
Speaker 1: was like fairies and all the you know, any of
Speaker 1: these Suckie Stackhouse books so very similar to the Game
Speaker 1: of Thrones. The books are like those books are like
Speaker 1: you know, you're, You're, They're very lots of sex scenes,
Speaker 1: very very into it. Like it wasn't quite shades of
Speaker 1: it wasn't quite there, but it definitely was like the
Speaker 1: book club was like, oh, we're gonna read about this
Speaker 1: type of stuff. And I only knew about it because
Speaker 1: I was funny enough. True Blood was deep into my
Speaker 1: headspace because the person I was dating at the time
Speaker 1: was a big fan of the Sukie Stackhouse books, big fan,
Speaker 1: and you know she was from Utah, so you know
Speaker 1: that was real spicy out there. They're like, hold up,
Speaker 1: hold up, we're getting getting a little taste there. So yeah,
Speaker 1: that's and I think, yeah, the same thing where you
Speaker 1: just grounded in enough reality and kind of almost in
Speaker 1: the same way the m C you kind of pulls
Speaker 1: in regular people where you just kind of find that
Speaker 1: other genres. So there is this its core if you
Speaker 1: eject all of the magic. Game of Thrones is a
Speaker 1: show about politics, and I think True Blood was about
Speaker 1: kind of like a soap opera that but like that,
Speaker 1: I don't. I hate using the term because we kind
Speaker 1: of I want to say like high soap soap opera,
Speaker 1: because there are like soap opera s shows that seem
Speaker 1: more mainstream than actual soap operas. But I think it's
Speaker 1: you just call it soap opera because you know the
Speaker 1: new thing. I was saying, like with movies like Hereditary
Speaker 1: and and Us, should there be a term called elevated horrors? Like, no,
Speaker 1: it's horror. It's the same horror. Just because you feel
Speaker 1: smarter doesn't mean you have to try and alienate people
Speaker 1: when you like it. So that's why I was against
Speaker 1: calling it like high soap opera, but like, yeah, that's
Speaker 1: soap opera. Yeah, but you're right, Danny, that that show
Speaker 1: ended and it left the people that watch True Blood
Speaker 1: with on Sunday night. I was one of those people.
Speaker 1: I mean, I watched True Blood at the end, even
Speaker 1: though I was like, this show is not good anymore,
Speaker 1: and I don't care. I'm still watching it and yeah,
Speaker 1: then what am I going to do with my Sunday nights? Boom?
Speaker 1: Game of Throne? So before we hop into season two
Speaker 1: in the second book, we are going to take a
Speaker 1: quick break and we're back. I forgot to tell you that. Okay,
Speaker 1: so I had I had never seen Game of Thrones,
Speaker 1: but I like, at least for the first couple of seasons.
Speaker 1: But it was so prevalent online that I did uh
Speaker 1: movie fights about it at screen junkies, and I won
Speaker 1: my round against people that actually watched it. But that's
Speaker 1: just because it's such in the zeit guy, So right,
Speaker 1: I knew all the memes, I knew all the characters
Speaker 1: people made fun of. I knew the stuff that had happened.
Speaker 1: Like that's just because I live online, So that isn't
Speaker 1: that funny? Like Yeah. Also, I don't think that they
Speaker 1: knew that I picked are yet, Like I think you
Speaker 1: had to pick like the strongest character, and I picked
Speaker 1: or like the best. You had to argue when I
Speaker 1: picked her, And it was just also because I knew
Speaker 1: so much about it just from being on Twitter constantly. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And I mean the characters that are the strongest in
Speaker 1: this series change for the season a season, which is
Speaker 1: I think what makes it such an interesting series. Um
Speaker 1: and Danny, you were mentioning before we started recording that
Speaker 1: you felt like there was a lot of stuff going
Speaker 1: on with the male female dynamic in the series that
Speaker 1: you weren't so thrilled with, And uh, that starts to shift,
Speaker 1: And I mean where we are now, it's definitely I
Speaker 1: would argue more prominent women that are main players than men. Um.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean it's it's got some really strong
Speaker 1: female characters. Are you being one of them? But depending
Speaker 1: which season, Like a lot of people thought Sanza was
Speaker 1: a big pushover for a long time now frustrating, but
Speaker 1: that's like she was written better in the books. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: Like because I only saw bits and pieces of Sanza
Speaker 1: because full disclosure, I've read the books, but I only
Speaker 1: watched my episode of Gay of Thrones episode which was
Speaker 1: the one where she where Aria. We're going to jump ahead,
Speaker 1: but just so Trish knows what where Aria meets the
Speaker 1: dude who's teaching her of the Yeah, and she like
Speaker 1: she dips. She's like, that's my first curse drop on
Speaker 1: the second one. I'm usually the clean one, and Danny's
Speaker 1: hard to talk about Game of Thrones without having a
Speaker 1: curse drop. Also, like I just came from stream and
Speaker 1: so you know, I get real loosely with the lips um.
Speaker 1: But yeah, basically, like it is cool seeing because the
Speaker 1: more I think about it, I feel like Aria is
Speaker 1: supposed to be the viewer because it's that kind of
Speaker 1: that that dated, like not dated, but definitely like the
Speaker 1: fantasy reader's mindset of like I gotta kill this person
Speaker 1: and this person, this person, and they constantly show us
Speaker 1: how she just doesn't have the power to do you
Speaker 1: that yet. Boy, you gotta watch that show. But I
Speaker 1: know she slowly starts to get it, and there's something
Speaker 1: about that vengeance in a world that's just been so
Speaker 1: cruel to these people. I mean, there are people who
Speaker 1: would argue that right now, Aria is a psychopath homicidal
Speaker 1: maniac like has lost It is so off the deep
Speaker 1: end because now she most definitely does have the power
Speaker 1: to do it, maybe even more so than anyone else
Speaker 1: in this series. Um So, are r is terrifying? Right?
Speaker 1: Moving into season eight, um I think at this point
Speaker 1: it's safe to say this is going to give you
Speaker 1: all the information you need to walk into the next
Speaker 1: season of Game and Thrones. Yeah, so that's what I
Speaker 1: tried to, like bullet point the main things against season
Speaker 1: that you would need to know if you were just like, Okay,
Speaker 1: I don't have time to rewatch them all, but I
Speaker 1: want a little refresher. Yeah, let's talk about season two then, okay,
Speaker 1: well for season one. The other big thing that we
Speaker 1: didn't talk about yet is ned starks execution, which is right,
Speaker 1: so you've seen the me how you've seen them leave.
Speaker 1: It's really just the show setting up that expectation of like,
Speaker 1: oh no, you being goody two shoes is not going
Speaker 1: to work in this world. Well, and you think he's
Speaker 1: the star of the show because he's the names Allan
Speaker 1: and he's the good guy, and you think, oh man,
Speaker 1: good guys always win. Nope. End of season one. Um
Speaker 1: So that and Dennis giving birth to the Dragons. I
Speaker 1: feel like you're the big refreshers for season one, and
Speaker 1: then season two we have I think the biggest up
Speaker 1: moments are the Shadow Baby, murder of Renlely um that
Speaker 1: was thanks to Melissandra, and the Battle of Blackwater Bay,
Speaker 1: which was this amazing naval battle and uh involving wildfire
Speaker 1: which is this green flame, very very cool. Um. And
Speaker 1: theon gray Joy, who we had previously seen as Award
Speaker 1: of the North fast forward through some time, took over
Speaker 1: Winterfell and pretends to murder Brandon Ricken, which makes the
Speaker 1: North hate him. Um. And those are the biggest things
Speaker 1: from season two, yeah, I would say, and you know,
Speaker 1: just to focus in on certain aspects. Melissandra was really
Speaker 1: cool in her introduction at least in the books for me, because,
Speaker 1: like you said, book one that kind of like very
Speaker 1: like very slowly trickled in magic. And then we have
Speaker 1: magic Woman who is now like straight up yeah, give
Speaker 1: birth to the shadow Baby. And Renley the the Rainbow King.
Speaker 1: Uh he was the one with the rainbow like he
Speaker 1: had the rainbow action. No, his boyfriend was the Night
Speaker 1: of Flowers and Sir Lauris are yeah, and she straight
Speaker 1: nasty smoked him by bringing this shadow baby that came
Speaker 1: out and did it, and that that was what was crazy,
Speaker 1: because up until that point you hear the talk about
Speaker 1: her doing magic, but you don't see it, like you
Speaker 1: you all, you're only kind of like getting hearsay, and
Speaker 1: one person doesn't believe it's real. It's the what's his face?
Speaker 1: The one who's like, who's so not the onion night y, Yeah,
Speaker 1: just not all about And then she does magic and
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, this is real weird magic time. Now, Well,
Speaker 1: they talk about priests of the Lord of Light, um,
Speaker 1: her god using wildfire to make swords appear like they
Speaker 1: are on fire. So all of this could be explained
Speaker 1: within the world without magic, until she straight up gives
Speaker 1: birth to a shadow demon that murders friendly. So then
Speaker 1: we're like, okay, so either her god is the real
Speaker 1: god or one of the real gods, or she definitely
Speaker 1: has some kind of power or something, which I mean,
Speaker 1: even in the series now remains to be seen how
Speaker 1: much power she actually holds because she's actually you know,
Speaker 1: fast forward a couple of seasons made some mistakes along
Speaker 1: the way, um, but yeah, that that was a super
Speaker 1: super cool moment. And in this book do we not
Speaker 1: also introduce the Iron Aisles as well? I don't remember
Speaker 1: if that happens in the book or not. The season
Speaker 1: one and book one are pretty close parallel. Starting in
Speaker 1: season two they start to veer off, and by the
Speaker 1: as the books go in, the season's go the show
Speaker 1: and the books gets in further part in the timeline
Speaker 1: get really mixed up because in the books, right around
Speaker 1: when the brand Ricken stuff is going down, it keeps
Speaker 1: cutting to these Iron Aisles, and I remember being annoyals
Speaker 1: like I don't care about these new dudes, but that happened.
Speaker 1: I feel like that happens so much as you get
Speaker 1: further in the books that which book I forget If
Speaker 1: it's book through your book four, I think it's book
Speaker 1: for You're like, I don't even care about any of
Speaker 1: these people that I'm reading about, where the people I
Speaker 1: care about, like Tyrian disappears for a whole book, like
Speaker 1: and you just don't know. But the book did that
Speaker 1: really well, where they would be left ambiguous if someone
Speaker 1: was murdered or not, and then you wouldn't hear from
Speaker 1: them for a book. So you'd be like, all right, well,
Speaker 1: I guess they're dead, and then when they'd show up later,
Speaker 1: you'd be like, oh ship. There were a lot the
Speaker 1: whole time, But the show, I guess couldn't really do
Speaker 1: that for actor contract reasons, Like they were going to
Speaker 1: leave out a favorite character for a whole season. You're
Speaker 1: not gonna leave out Peter Dinklide for all the season.
Speaker 1: So with because I didn't read the books, so how
Speaker 1: do how do fans of the books? How have they
Speaker 1: handled it over time with it being with it changing?
Speaker 1: I mean they pretty much. I mean the show is
Speaker 1: so well renowned, Like are they okay with it? I
Speaker 1: I haven't met any salty book people. I think most
Speaker 1: people respect that they're two different things. Well, they're also
Speaker 1: kind of very different in the sense that, like in
Speaker 1: the book, every chapter is through the perspective of a person,
Speaker 1: and I feel like that I'm not tripping right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: every every chapter is through someone's perspective. So I think
Speaker 1: when you lift that, you already know like, Okay, this
Speaker 1: is going to be different because it has to be
Speaker 1: because in the book you're getting characters inner monologues that
Speaker 1: you're not going to get without creating some kind of
Speaker 1: dialogue in the show or um is someone who's chapter
Speaker 1: it is will get a raven from somewhere else that
Speaker 1: something just happened, and in the series we actually see that.
Speaker 1: So I think that there's a lot of things that
Speaker 1: the series does really well that the books, uh maybe
Speaker 1: don't do as well, and vice versa. So I would
Speaker 1: argue there's a reason to both read the books and
Speaker 1: watch the show. Like a lot of people are like, oh,
Speaker 1: once the show's over, why would you go back and
Speaker 1: read the books? But I think that they're different enough. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I don't know how y'all feel about that, But I
Speaker 1: loved reading, so I typically do, and that's why I
Speaker 1: haven't watched the shows. I like to read the books
Speaker 1: first then watch the show because when I when I
Speaker 1: watch first, then the show paints my brains picture versus like,
Speaker 1: you know, it's fun seeing like, oh, that's not how
Speaker 1: I imagine Ned looking, That's not how I imagine. Like
Speaker 1: Ned was thicker in the in the show than he
Speaker 1: was in my head, him being this ice kind of
Speaker 1: older guy out. I almost had him in my head
Speaker 1: as like a frail guy and like almost like you know,
Speaker 1: in my head because he's from a forgotten time. The
Speaker 1: and it's proven as such by the end of book one.
Speaker 1: So to see, you know, the actor be a little
Speaker 1: more burly. I was like, Oh, that's interesting. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't mind reading book one having Jason Momoa in
Speaker 1: my head. It's very to say. I can't paint a
Speaker 1: better picture than God did. I really liked call Drogo
Speaker 1: and Danny's wedding night in the books much better I
Speaker 1: liked it in this series. That was one of the
Speaker 1: big discrepancy. Yeah, that's true. Um So moving on to
Speaker 1: season three, pretty brutal, pretty brutal. No, just the red wedding,
Speaker 1: No big deal. So yeah, Season three brings the Red Wedding,
Speaker 1: which I think was another moment for people, like Ned's execution,
Speaker 1: where you're like, oh man, they can totally slaughter all
Speaker 1: the guys and wherever I thought this story was going,
Speaker 1: yes it's not. Oh boy. That was one of the
Speaker 1: most there's nothing better than your book smugness. You know
Speaker 1: when when that because like everyone who read the book
Speaker 1: knew it was coming, and so like when people were
Speaker 1: freaking out over like Nettles, you ain't even ready, you
Speaker 1: ain't even right, because even in the book it's so
Speaker 1: it really I didn't. I'd never watch Red Redding. I
Speaker 1: only reading it. It really said, it's you up. You
Speaker 1: really think, oh, this is the moment they're coming together,
Speaker 1: We're about the Vultron and take over and everything just
Speaker 1: goes south. Had pass. Yeah, And I imagine the show
Speaker 1: set the same thing up, especially because once again though,
Speaker 1: the I think the popularity of Game of Thrones is
Speaker 1: it subverts our expectation of how heroes fight villains and
Speaker 1: how it's supposed to work, and the Red Wedding is
Speaker 1: one of the biggest brutal I think it's so cool though,
Speaker 1: that will ever be in pop culture history, right unless
Speaker 1: you red wedding, even if you're not a game of throat,
Speaker 1: like you know what it's from and you know what
Speaker 1: it stands for, like what it means. I just think
Speaker 1: that's so cool to have like forever altered film and
Speaker 1: media or like media history. Yeah, the Red Wedding is
Speaker 1: a big freaking deal, and I do think that it
Speaker 1: hit all the show hatchers by sermon. It was super
Speaker 1: fun to be how many people like I'm never watching,
Speaker 1: like you ever watching again? I was actually watching it
Speaker 1: with Meg Tourney, who I don't know if either of
Speaker 1: you know Meg, But she was one of my old
Speaker 1: co host on Source fed Nerd and she hadn't read
Speaker 1: the books and I had, and so we're watching it
Speaker 1: and she's like on her phone and I'm like, hey, hey,
Speaker 1: pay attention right now, pay attention. You're gonna want to
Speaker 1: see this. And I wish that I had figured reaction
Speaker 1: because she lost her mind. Um, but yeah, that's that's
Speaker 1: how everyaly was. And I giggled like a fool watching
Speaker 1: people's reactions online because well, because I went through it too.
Speaker 1: I went years earlier when I read it. In the books,
Speaker 1: there is always something too of like reading something shocking
Speaker 1: because you're like turn page, Oh my god, what turn
Speaker 1: the page. What is this? I remember reading it when
Speaker 1: I was on lunch break from a job and I
Speaker 1: was like almost at the end of my thirty minutes,
Speaker 1: and I was like, no, no, I must keep reading.
Speaker 1: Not done yet. And I really want to touch on
Speaker 1: what Danny said, because I think that is true. That
Speaker 1: is such a big moment, and it's something that when
Speaker 1: you can have one phrase or one word that will
Speaker 1: let everyone know, like people who probably don't even want
Speaker 1: Game of Thrones know what the Red Wedding was because
Speaker 1: it just blew up the internet, so everyone had to
Speaker 1: find out what this thing was. Uh, And moments like
Speaker 1: that are interesting because like I never watched the Star
Speaker 1: Wars trilogy growing up. I just you know, that just
Speaker 1: wasn't nothing. My dad showed me because he never cared
Speaker 1: about it, and I watched it maybe five or six
Speaker 1: years ago, and it was interesting watching the movie knowing
Speaker 1: everything that was gonna I knew that Darth Vader was
Speaker 1: Luke's father. I knew that, but to watch it play out,
Speaker 1: it was cool to even see things where I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: that's where that's from. Yeah, that is cool, that's super cool.
Speaker 1: What are two so wrapping up season three? I mean,
Speaker 1: obviously the Red Wedding was like the biggest thing. What
Speaker 1: are a couple of other things that people need to
Speaker 1: remember from that season? I would say the other big
Speaker 1: thing that happened that season was Denia's Targarian overthrowing the
Speaker 1: Masters of Slavers Bay, getting the Unsullied Army um and
Speaker 1: freeing slaves in all the different cities. So half not
Speaker 1: maybe not half of Danny's titles, but a lot of
Speaker 1: Denarius's titles came from the stuff she didn't you know,
Speaker 1: I love I'm upset like her wardrobe as it got,
Speaker 1: like you know, as she gained more and more power,
Speaker 1: and like as she grew as a woman, like all
Speaker 1: of that. I'm obsessed. Well, the wardrobe in Krth, where
Speaker 1: one of the places she was in season three, is
Speaker 1: supposed to be one booby out according to the books,
Speaker 1: but they didn't do it in the series, and I
Speaker 1: was bummed. Well not just because I wanted to see movie,
Speaker 1: but also because like the big thing they talked about
Speaker 1: in Karth was like how the fashion was so different
Speaker 1: and people really cared about it, Like it had this
Speaker 1: like very different feel to it, which I think they
Speaker 1: did a good job capturing the series. But I was like, dude,
Speaker 1: where's the one booby out, because there's a whole thing
Speaker 1: where Denarius feels uncomfortable with it, but it's trying to
Speaker 1: fit in and it's it's like a cool growing moment.
Speaker 1: But yeah, that's pretty much season three. Moving on the
Speaker 1: season four. Season four, the Purple Wedding. Now, so that
Speaker 1: is when Jeoffrey gets murder. Oh yeah, no, yeah, that's
Speaker 1: called the Purple Wedding. That one's that whatever the opposite
Speaker 1: feeling of the Red Wedding was was what I felt
Speaker 1: reading the Purple right, Like, yeah, I just was let
Speaker 1: me read into detail. This kid dying, I just yeah,
Speaker 1: it is horrible. Yeah, they really did get you to
Speaker 1: hate a kid like for sure. Oh yeah, and and
Speaker 1: but like it was oh man, yeah it was so great.
Speaker 1: Our friend if you our friend Nick Ross looks so
Speaker 1: much like that, everybody would always send him pictures of it. Um,
Speaker 1: that's unfortunate because so many people hate that character. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I know, but this show does such a good job,
Speaker 1: especially later. Joffrey is one of the few exceptions in
Speaker 1: the series. You know, he doesn't look like Jeffrey. Sorry,
Speaker 1: Who's who takes over? Who's a kid that takes over? Oh?
Speaker 1: I know what you're talking about? M yeah, little brother,
Speaker 1: Wait tommin hang on me. Comin had a few different actors,
Speaker 1: so it depends what seems when you're looking at Tom
Speaker 1: this last season. No, who's the other Like, he's like Jeoffrey.
Speaker 1: Why can't I think of it? Do some googling and
Speaker 1: let us know. Yeah, So the Purple Wedding happens, and
Speaker 1: then everybody blames Tyrian for Jeoffrey's murder and then Tyrian's
Speaker 1: trial by combat happens, where we see the big Mountain
Speaker 1: Oberon deal which man over and Martell gets his head
Speaker 1: Squeeze said. That's another meme that goes, uh, I will
Speaker 1: not die this day said by a man who died
Speaker 1: that day. Oh man, that was great too, because that
Speaker 1: was a he really I mean he kind of the
Speaker 1: mountain got got as well. But like, that was a
Speaker 1: very interesting fight to read. I kind of went and
Speaker 1: that's one of the ones I did go up to
Speaker 1: look because it was such a big moment in the books.
Speaker 1: For me, I was like, I kind of want to
Speaker 1: see how this plays out, and it was. It was
Speaker 1: done really well. I liked the choreography of that fight.
Speaker 1: They did do a great job. And then right after that,
Speaker 1: Tyrian escapes and murders Taiwan, and that's another moment for me.
Speaker 1: I have to say, I don't I'm not going to
Speaker 1: spoil how they do it in the series for you
Speaker 1: if he um I liked it, this is another moment
Speaker 1: that I liked it in the books better. So it's
Speaker 1: not what the crossbow uh that is, yes, but the
Speaker 1: in the entire escape, there's a very specific conversation that
Speaker 1: happens in the books that is left out of between
Speaker 1: him and his father, between him and his lady, between
Speaker 1: him and his brother. It happens differently in the series,
Speaker 1: and there are some things left out that I feel
Speaker 1: like are very crucial to Tyrian's motivation in the following.
Speaker 1: That's interesting. So, and I don't I'm always hesitant to
Speaker 1: say it and things because I'm like, what if, like
Speaker 1: in season eight they're going to drop that bomb of
Speaker 1: what that story was. I don't want to spoiled it forever.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, the story. Oh yes, they took the
Speaker 1: story out totally out that because that that moment for
Speaker 1: me was my huge turning point on Tyrian my whole like,
Speaker 1: because like I always liked Tirian, but I always liked
Speaker 1: in the sense that I was like, you're a bad guy,
Speaker 1: but I like you. But that you understood his anguish,
Speaker 1: why he is the way he is, why he doesn't
Speaker 1: trust him, and why he doesn't really like his family. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that that doesn't exist in the series, which is weird
Speaker 1: for me. But new knows. Maybe they will somehow drop
Speaker 1: that bomb in season But I can know why you don't. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I can see why you don't want to because yeah,
Speaker 1: if they do reveal, yeah, because I like you. When
Speaker 1: I read it, that was a huge moment for me.
Speaker 1: It really shifted my whole Like I went from like
Speaker 1: liking Terry and be like you're a little bad boy
Speaker 1: and you're gonna get yours yeah, but to this, like, oh,
Speaker 1: you are hurting at all times. It is Tomin. Our
Speaker 1: friend Nick Ross, who was on our other our if
Speaker 1: he and I's original podcast, Krill in it Um sometimes
Speaker 1: looks just like Tomin and everybody would send him memes
Speaker 1: all season please continue. Well, Toman gets a spicy lady.
Speaker 1: So yeah. The other big thing in season four is
Speaker 1: the Battle of Castle Black. So when John goes north
Speaker 1: and pairs up with the wild Lings and they they
Speaker 1: are no, I'm sorry, it's the wild Lings verse. Everybody
Speaker 1: at Castle Black. The wild Lings come down to the
Speaker 1: wall and have a big fight, and that's where we
Speaker 1: lose a GrITT from the series. Very sad for John. Um.
Speaker 1: But that's yeah, that's season four as well, and then
Speaker 1: season five we're moving along. Season five we have our
Speaker 1: hard Home Battle, which is what I was thinking of earlier,
Speaker 1: where it's John pairing up with the wild Wings to
Speaker 1: fight the Night King, which that is such an insanely
Speaker 1: well done battle scene, especially when you're like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: this is TV. Oh my god, this is on TV.
Speaker 1: There's there's one thing I want to mention that's going
Speaker 1: on with uh, with John and with a lot of
Speaker 1: the h a lot of the Starks that you know,
Speaker 1: I don't know if it tracked as as well as
Speaker 1: it did in the books. You find out that the
Speaker 1: dire Wolves and the Starks are linked and that they
Speaker 1: they can control their dire Wolves because John doesn't quite
Speaker 1: use it, right he more you hear about it more
Speaker 1: in the books than you do in this series. Really,
Speaker 1: that's one of the coolest things I know. So yeah,
Speaker 1: if you if you're watching the season, haven't read the books.
Speaker 1: They have a connection with their dire Wolves and they
Speaker 1: can That's that's kind of how one of the Starks
Speaker 1: stay alive, right because they're living as they in the series.
Speaker 1: There's a connection with them where like they're extra friendly. Um,
Speaker 1: but it's not like all the kids can work. Oh wow,
Speaker 1: So it's it's this isn't again. One of the reasons
Speaker 1: why I'm like, if you're someone who loves the series,
Speaker 1: there are reasons to go back and read. Yeah, like
Speaker 1: there's stuff was super cool, super cool. Um yeah, absolutely
Speaker 1: super cool. Um let's see season five also, the sons
Speaker 1: of the Harvey attempt to over Deneris, but she escapes
Speaker 1: on the back of a dragon. Yeah remember that, And
Speaker 1: that's like the I want to say, that's like maybe
Speaker 1: the first moment in the series where we get to
Speaker 1: see the grown up dragons like in their full glory,
Speaker 1: doing their full thing. And that was another huge like
Speaker 1: I can't believe they're doing this on a television budget.
Speaker 1: Now that being said, it's a gargantuan television for real,
Speaker 1: but they really did chat. I mean, they really have shown.
Speaker 1: I can't think of another show that looks as good
Speaker 1: that it's doing as much, which is why, like if
Speaker 1: he said, you can't be mad for having dragons in
Speaker 1: the series because it took us so long to get
Speaker 1: the s Yeah, they had to prove the show was
Speaker 1: good enough to get that expanded budget. Wait, I just
Speaker 1: need to show you all this. Here's Tomin. Okay, here's
Speaker 1: our friend Nick Ross. Oh he definitely looks like isn't
Speaker 1: that funny? He needs to cosplay Tomin. I mean that
Speaker 1: would be the thing to do would the thing to do?
Speaker 1: Let's see. Season five also has the high Sparrow, who's
Speaker 1: freaking terrifying in his own right, bringing the rule of
Speaker 1: the faith Eletant back to King's Landing, which totally back
Speaker 1: fires on cerci um Stanis. Oh god, this moment is
Speaker 1: season five to Stannis uh direction from Melissandra sacrifices Sharie.
Speaker 1: That was hard to watch. That was so hard to watch.
Speaker 1: It only prepared you for Infinity War. No, it didn't,
Speaker 1: didn't know, it didn't be at all. Those people, all
Speaker 1: those people are coming back like there's no way they're
Speaker 1: getting rid of freaking Tom Holland. Well, and it's not
Speaker 1: like they were like, in order to defeat Fantos, we
Speaker 1: just have to burn you alive. As we watch, they
Speaker 1: like quietly went away in the dust. It was not
Speaker 1: the same much less. This was brutal. I mean, she
Speaker 1: eventually went away in dust, but it was brutal. And
Speaker 1: about that was Stantis doesn't even win. After that, he
Speaker 1: dies and then something very tragic also happened at the
Speaker 1: end with our man John Snow. Oh yeah, yeah, John Snow.
Speaker 1: All of his brothers turn on him and they murder him,
Speaker 1: and then we start the next season just kidding. Season
Speaker 1: said that's Um, I mean, y'all all knew that. I
Speaker 1: guess that read the books, you know, I don't know
Speaker 1: because it wasn't gone that far. I was tripping out,
Speaker 1: which was why was the perfect Cliffhanker Because that doesn't
Speaker 1: happen and none of us know that. And also so
Speaker 1: some of the timelines ended earlier like this, the show
Speaker 1: surpassed to the books in certain characters timelines in earlier
Speaker 1: seasons than it did in later seasons. Um, again, because
Speaker 1: you're doing POV from different characters. The timeline is very
Speaker 1: kind of gray and confusing in the books as opposed
Speaker 1: to the series. I mean it's kind of confusing in
Speaker 1: this series too. But yeah, we did not know that
Speaker 1: was going to happen. Yeah fo show. Um. I mean
Speaker 1: people guessed because there were way too many fan theories
Speaker 1: about John being really important ending of the series to
Speaker 1: let John go so soon. But I think that's also
Speaker 1: why people were like, wait, what, like now all of
Speaker 1: my theories are out the window? Are you kidding? Yeah?
Speaker 1: But also in a fan base that is used to
Speaker 1: people being murdered and not coming back on like X
Speaker 1: Men or something, you come back, we know and DVZ
Speaker 1: and all the like Marvel things. You're murdered. I think
Speaker 1: coming back this one was like, oh, so people didn't know, Um,
Speaker 1: we have to take a quick break. Then we're gonna
Speaker 1: break down the last final seasons and then kind of
Speaker 1: possibly the future and the prequel that's coming out. We
Speaker 1: will be right back and we're back. Yeah. Season six,
Speaker 1: they were like, oh, just kidding, we wouldn't do that
Speaker 1: to y'all. I mean we would, but um, we know
Speaker 1: he's y'all's favorite. Well, I feel like, like, no, we
Speaker 1: would definitely do that to y'all, but we need to
Speaker 1: let you know how powerful Melessandra's Yeah, that too, Like
Speaker 1: that was that that. I feel like it was the
Speaker 1: big thing with that that she could bring him back,
Speaker 1: and that she was like, oh, he serves a greater
Speaker 1: purpose just so he could be murdered in the end. No,
Speaker 1: I'm just kidding, which I don't know what might happen.
Speaker 1: I mean maybe I don't know. Yeah, we'll get into
Speaker 1: you that later. Yeah, we had heard of the Lord
Speaker 1: of Light resurrecting people before. Sir Beric dun Darien says
Speaker 1: he died I think five times and was resurrected by
Speaker 1: a red priest there of mirror. Um. So we'd heard
Speaker 1: of that happening before, but this is the first we've
Speaker 1: actually seen it with main characters. So that's crazy. Um,
Speaker 1: let's see what else happens. Then Alari San and the
Speaker 1: sand Snakes take over Dorn, which is one of the
Speaker 1: sidelines that I feel like when you're reading the book,
Speaker 1: you're like, who cares? And it's fine, but it's integral
Speaker 1: of the overall stuff. Um. Denaris gets a death Rocky
Speaker 1: Army by burning down all the dudes. They're like, oh, no,
Speaker 1: you're in Excalisi. You have to live with the old ladies,
Speaker 1: and she's like, no, I do not excuse you. Um.
Speaker 1: That's a very good like woman power scene there. Um,
Speaker 1: we learn about hod Or why his name is hold
Speaker 1: or respects. Yeah, so sad, the hold or things the saddest.
Speaker 1: Um actually have a doorstop in my house that says
Speaker 1: hold Or on it because I'm an awful person. But
Speaker 1: it's so fun. Um. Yeah. So, and the hold Or
Speaker 1: Thing is a big deal, not only because it's devastatingly
Speaker 1: sad for hold Or, but also because it shows us
Speaker 1: that in the in the time loop, paradoxes that have
Speaker 1: now been introduced to the world of Game of Thrones
Speaker 1: that Brand cannot only travel back in time and see
Speaker 1: through people's eyes, he can also affect the past, which
Speaker 1: then affects the current timeline, which opens up a whole
Speaker 1: Pandora's box of theories moving forward for season eight, which
Speaker 1: will get to in a second. Um, let's see what else.
Speaker 1: Marjorie and Tom and joined the Faith militant you're on,
Speaker 1: Gray Joy becomes a king of Iron Born, which you're on.
Speaker 1: Great Joy is the big piratey guy are The Battle
Speaker 1: of Bastards happens between Ramsey and John, which is another
Speaker 1: insanely awesome battle scene. Uh. And I think that all
Speaker 1: of us, we're so so thrilled when was defeated, even
Speaker 1: the little Finger is the one who really comes in
Speaker 1: and saves it. It's not John, it's little Finger. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And just for you know, because I don't think we
Speaker 1: talked about little Finger yet that much. He's the most
Speaker 1: hard to read slippery character in these books because sometimes
Speaker 1: he's helping. Yeah, the Spider at least admits that he's
Speaker 1: in this gray area where he's like, you don't know
Speaker 1: who I'm helping. You. I'm sorry, I'm just I'm just
Speaker 1: making Yeah, don't brand no, no, don't no. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: do what I want. But little Finger like has this
Speaker 1: like faux emotion that he shares for whoever he's helping,
Speaker 1: and then he screws that person over and then he
Speaker 1: shows this emotion, so you never like it really wears.
Speaker 1: Spider is very like obviously Neutra when you can watch
Speaker 1: him be neutral. Little Finger is so hard to read,
Speaker 1: but I love I always loved the character a little
Speaker 1: Finger because I was like, oh man, he is the
Speaker 1: mastermind of the chess game. Like all this politics that
Speaker 1: we're seeing play out. Anything you think is happening by chance,
Speaker 1: it is not. It is happening because little Finger put
Speaker 1: an emotion to happen that way. Um. So he was
Speaker 1: always my like, oh man, who's playing the game the best,
Speaker 1: at least in the earlier seasons and in the books,
Speaker 1: which is why it blows your mind later when he
Speaker 1: comes to an untimely end um. But yes, we have
Speaker 1: the Battle of Asteroid saved by little Finger. Cercy murders
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of people by blowing up the stept
Speaker 1: with wildfire, which is nuts, and then Tom and kills
Speaker 1: himself by your friend. Sorry, yes, uh. John becomes King
Speaker 1: in the North. Brand is now the three Eyed Raven,
Speaker 1: and he discovers that the whole Tower of Joy theory
Speaker 1: is confirmed, which I have to say, I don't know
Speaker 1: if you felt this way if he but as a
Speaker 1: book reader, that is a theory I had been wanting
Speaker 1: to be confirmed for so long. So the Tower of
Speaker 1: Joy is the whole R plus L equals J theory.
Speaker 1: John's parentage, which is Raygar and are the actual parents
Speaker 1: of John. So like, when you're reading the books, you're like,
Speaker 1: it's probably isn't Ned's bastard, Like, let's just be honest.
Speaker 1: Everything we know about Ned probably not the case. And
Speaker 1: as you're going on, you're like, I bet he's a
Speaker 1: targe Arian. How could he be a tug area trying
Speaker 1: to figure it out? Um, And so Brand goes back
Speaker 1: in time and sees that happen, and then to know
Speaker 1: that Ned kept that secret all those years, even though
Speaker 1: Catlin like hated him for it, and like, it's just
Speaker 1: such a huge moment where I think everyone online was
Speaker 1: freaking out. Our plus cell equals J confirmed, because Yeah,
Speaker 1: that was a big, big, big old theory. That's what
Speaker 1: I was like, God, I've been waiting like fifteen years
Speaker 1: for this theory. That was a huge deal. Um. And
Speaker 1: then season seven our last season. What did you think
Speaker 1: of Season seven? What did I think of Season seven? Um?
Speaker 1: I mean it was spicy between John and Danny, so
Speaker 1: that had a little even weirder now that he's her nephews. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's interesting, but I guess not uncommon for that time,
Speaker 1: which is the time that doesn't exist, but even for
Speaker 1: that time. Yeah, even in the book they were talking
Speaker 1: about how like they were all just it's this specifically
Speaker 1: the Targarian family were just kept it in the family. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Targarians intermarried and that was pretty well known. But I
Speaker 1: think being raised a Stark, it's going to be real
Speaker 1: weird for John, and I think for Generes being raised elsewhere,
Speaker 1: it's probably gonna be super awkward for her too, even
Speaker 1: though they know that that's really how it goes. So
Speaker 1: season seven opens with a killer scene where Aria slaughters
Speaker 1: all of the phrase Yeah, revenge moved for the red one.
Speaker 1: It felt so good, right, it does feel so good. Aria,
Speaker 1: who now wears many faces, um, such a cool so
Speaker 1: she like, nope, oubt, but still has the ability to
Speaker 1: wear many faces, yes, which is still a big question
Speaker 1: mark and kind of how all that went down, because yeah,
Speaker 1: they might want to come back for her question mark.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I wasn't I'll be honest, I wasn't
Speaker 1: thrilled with how all that played out in the series,
Speaker 1: and we hadn't really seen all of that in the books,
Speaker 1: Like I was expecting to get more of a payoff
Speaker 1: or something that made a little bit more sense out
Speaker 1: of that whole adventure, but instead it just seems like
Speaker 1: she came away with it. Like, Okay, so I'm not
Speaker 1: a priest for you guys, but I still can be
Speaker 1: a many faced assassin, which I have a question. So
Speaker 1: where did the books end? Where did where has it
Speaker 1: left off? Was it back in season? It's different for
Speaker 1: each character. No, no, no, But okay, But because I
Speaker 1: was going to say, if if no one has any
Speaker 1: idea of what's going to happen in season eight, like
Speaker 1: because that no one hasn't, do you think he's going
Speaker 1: to come out with a book? He said he's going
Speaker 1: to finish it. He originally told the showrunners. Here's how
Speaker 1: it all ends, Here's how I'm intending it all to
Speaker 1: end end, and they said they're just going to take
Speaker 1: different paths to get there, Okay, and then and then
Speaker 1: if people want to read the book, they can, even
Speaker 1: though they already know kind of what will happen. It's
Speaker 1: kind of like Scott Pilgrim because the the movie Wrapped
Speaker 1: came out before the final Scott Pilgrim book came out,
Speaker 1: so and and it seems like they kind of had
Speaker 1: different endings but still kind of similar. Yeah, yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: and that's the idea and all. I will definitely read
Speaker 1: the books because I think that they're different enough. And
Speaker 1: a lot of the excerpts that George rr Martin has
Speaker 1: released at this point are intentionally excerpts, where like someone
Speaker 1: who was killed off pretty early in the TV show
Speaker 1: is in the book excert moving forward. So we's like,
Speaker 1: see it's different doing different things. Um, but let me
Speaker 1: bust through some of this because I knew we don't
Speaker 1: have a ton more time and I want to talk
Speaker 1: to future theories. Um, so already kills the phrase. Denaris
Speaker 1: returns to dragon Stone, Searcy aligns herself with Uron for
Speaker 1: a gift, which ends up being a Laurea sand and Yarra,
Speaker 1: who in the books is called Asha Um. John meets
Speaker 1: to Naris and they bound m brand Arian Sanza all
Speaker 1: very night in winter Fell, which is an amazing moment
Speaker 1: if your team. Stark. Denaris takes out the Lanister Army
Speaker 1: Um and also finishes off House Charlie, meaning Sam is
Speaker 1: now in charge of House Charlie and he leaves his
Speaker 1: master training with Gilly and the baby, so things are
Speaker 1: looking cool for Sam. He also has discovered the legitimacy
Speaker 1: of the marriage of John's parents, which is huge because
Speaker 1: that means that John is the actual heir to the
Speaker 1: Phone Boom, not Danny, which WHOA, That's gonna be a thing. Um.
Speaker 1: Cercy reveals that she's pregnant, which I still don't know
Speaker 1: if she was lying about or not. Uh. John assembles
Speaker 1: what they call the Magnificent Seven, which was Gendery torments
Speaker 1: Sir Jora Thoris of Sir Eric dun Darien and the
Speaker 1: Hound to go north and fight the batties up north.
Speaker 1: The Stark girls take out little Finger by little Finger
Speaker 1: bye bye. You were playing the game well until you
Speaker 1: crossed Arians. Don't do that. Then Cold Hands Benjin, who
Speaker 1: was in the book's way before and we thought was
Speaker 1: completely taken out of the series. Ben Uncle ben jin
Speaker 1: Stark also called cold Hands in the book Saves not
Speaker 1: a good name. Benjin Stark is his name. But yeah,
Speaker 1: after because he's killed by the White name, you're creepy, uncle, Sorry,
Speaker 1: go ahead. He's killed by the Whites and then brought
Speaker 1: back by the children of the Forest, so he's allowed
Speaker 1: to be creepy because he is essentially Uncle Zombie. Um.
Speaker 1: So yeah, then he arrives and we're all like what um,
Speaker 1: And then we get an ice dragon. Vissarian is killed
Speaker 1: in battle and then resurrected by the Night King, which
Speaker 1: is crazy, and then the Ice Dragon makes it so
Speaker 1: that the Night King can preach the law. The Army
Speaker 1: of the Dead passes through Um and Searcy at this
Speaker 1: time claims to make a false alliance will. She tries
Speaker 1: to make an alliance with U, Denaris and John, saying Okay,
Speaker 1: let's put our war on a truth so we can
Speaker 1: deal with the problems up north. And then she confides
Speaker 1: in Jamie that she actually has no intention of doing that.
Speaker 1: When they all go north, She's just gonna take the
Speaker 1: Seven Kingdom? Is this just me? Does anyone like Searcy
Speaker 1: like our people sec fans, Yes, because people because Searcy
Speaker 1: has been through so much, because she kind of has
Speaker 1: been shafted and underestimated just her whole life. She's had
Speaker 1: a whack husband and then like you know, no one
Speaker 1: trusted her to run the kingdom for her son, and
Speaker 1: always everyone has tried to use her. So I think
Speaker 1: the moment when the wildfire stuff happened, then it was like, oh, snap,
Speaker 1: she she's kind of great. And then I think when
Speaker 1: the shame dude came, you're you're right, You're It humbled
Speaker 1: her in a way that everyone was on her. So
Speaker 1: as a teenager, she was troubled by someone that could
Speaker 1: foresee the future that all of her children are going
Speaker 1: to die. Yeah, so she's holding onto that her whole
Speaker 1: journey to This series does a really good job of
Speaker 1: painting both positive and negative layers all of our characters,
Speaker 1: so you don't really there aren't any true villains in
Speaker 1: the series, with the exception of Ramsay and Joffrey. Are
Speaker 1: any of her children alive? What happened to uh Tommins
Speaker 1: twin sister, So Marcella was killed by Alaria sand with
Speaker 1: poison poison kiss oh yeah, to get back at Cercy
Speaker 1: or Oberon Skull crushy death, so her children have all
Speaker 1: all that. Tomin's the last to go was so then
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, man, Sarcy is really really off the
Speaker 1: deep end now, but you understand it, yeah, like she
Speaker 1: has been through it and and she does play the
Speaker 1: game really well. Also, what's interesting about the series and
Speaker 1: kind of, uh, what's happening now is this book, you know,
Speaker 1: talks in past tense of all these like you know,
Speaker 1: named figures that all have this weird thing like that,
Speaker 1: you know, the Fire King, the Mad King, and you
Speaker 1: when you read about it, you're like, how do you
Speaker 1: even get those names? And then you get to watch
Speaker 1: how these things happen. You know why Searcy is the
Speaker 1: mad Queen. She's just lost all her children. You'll know why,
Speaker 1: you know, Like it's it all kind of like makes sense,
Speaker 1: which is why, like I think that one of two
Speaker 1: things might happen. One I think John takes the throne.
Speaker 1: Everything resets because now Tarjarian is back at the throne
Speaker 1: and it basically resets to the old time. Dragons exist again.
Speaker 1: We're back in and or some apocalypse happened and we
Speaker 1: find out that this is just a cycle, like you
Speaker 1: have your summer, you have your fall, you have your winter,
Speaker 1: and then it rents repeats every season. That's what That's
Speaker 1: what we keep hearing from the Masters is that there
Speaker 1: have been winters before and they all came to an
Speaker 1: end and there was a summer and everybody stopped freaking out. Essentially, Um,
Speaker 1: but I mean, now we're going into the final season.
Speaker 1: We only have six episodes, but they have said some
Speaker 1: of them are going to be as long as eighty
Speaker 1: minute long episodes, So a fewer episodes, but they'll be
Speaker 1: longer starting April four. And uh yeah, I mean there's
Speaker 1: a lot of theories and what some people have as
Speaker 1: expectations for what this season could entail. Do either of
Speaker 1: you have any theories or guesses of what you think
Speaker 1: John's taking it all? And I think John's taking it
Speaker 1: all and it's gonna reset or we're gonna have one
Speaker 1: huge apocalyptic event. And my big hill, Mary, is that
Speaker 1: Brand's gonna go back in time and Ned starts going
Speaker 1: to say no, I don't want to go to King's
Speaker 1: Landing and nothing happen. What may they're going to be
Speaker 1: able to defend it because Ned because remember NED believed
Speaker 1: in protecting the wall, so they'll they'll defend it because
Speaker 1: Ned will send the required forces. It's just gonna reset
Speaker 1: everything where it's just gonna be like, you remember what
Speaker 1: was that one I forget? It was a horror movie
Speaker 1: where like every time you made a wish it would
Speaker 1: go bad and then like you were tortured in the
Speaker 1: end of the movie where she was like, I wish
Speaker 1: that one driver wasn't drunk on the job and nothing
Speaker 1: ever happened. I mean, we could have something like that.
Speaker 1: There's a big theory that Brand is actually the Night
Speaker 1: King because he tries to go back in time to
Speaker 1: be the guy that is the guy that's turned into
Speaker 1: the Night King UM and then get stuck in that
Speaker 1: body and turn in the Night King. So there's two
Speaker 1: brands coexisting simultaneously. But we have no reason to believe
Speaker 1: that two brands can coexist simultaneously, which is kind of
Speaker 1: the debunk for that theory, if you will. But there's
Speaker 1: a lot of people in the Brand is the Night
Speaker 1: King camp or that brand is going to become the
Speaker 1: Night King um because why is the Night King so
Speaker 1: intent on killing the Three Eyed Raven? We don't know.
Speaker 1: I just don't want anything to happen to Danny. I
Speaker 1: feel very connected to her as we share the same name,
Speaker 1: and I played her in a Game of Thrones roast
Speaker 1: at Meltdown, which I think might be up on YouTube somewhere.
Speaker 1: But I wanted to talk about the prequel that's coming out.
Speaker 1: We don't know very much about it. We know Naomi Watts,
Speaker 1: isn't it right, Yeah, that's it that. I mean, that's
Speaker 1: really all we know about it is that it's a prequel.
Speaker 1: There's going to be spinoff series. It's going to be
Speaker 1: a prequel, So it could we don't know when it's
Speaker 1: set place or no. I mean, it could be dealing
Speaker 1: with any of the stuff in the past. It could
Speaker 1: be dealing with the children of the Forest back in
Speaker 1: their heyday. Could be the turning of the Night King originally,
Speaker 1: it could be um the Targarian rise to the throne. Like,
Speaker 1: we have no idea, Uh, we just know there's a lot.
Speaker 1: I think George R. Martina said, there's many many stories
Speaker 1: in wester Ros, so we'll see which one gets told. Um.
Speaker 1: So yeah, that's what we know about the prequel. But
Speaker 1: at this point, I mean, everybody I I think the
Speaker 1: things that I'm expecting. These aren't my tinfoil hat theories.
Speaker 1: These are like things that I think will probably happen. Um.
Speaker 1: I think John's going to figure out his parentage. Sam
Speaker 1: will probably either Sam and Brands some combination. If that
Speaker 1: will happen, it will be super awkward for John and denari. Um.
Speaker 1: But then maybe John will ride a dragon knowing that
Speaker 1: he's a Targarian, which would be very cool. Um, a
Speaker 1: song of Ice and Fire, get it. That's a thing
Speaker 1: I didn't want to say because we always have somebody
Speaker 1: that writes us and it is like these are spoilers. No, like,
Speaker 1: literally none of us have seen it and nobody so
Speaker 1: these are just what what Tricia thinks could possibly happen,
Speaker 1: but also could not happen at all. I have zero inside. No,
Speaker 1: please don't write us. That happened too with Captain Marvel,
Speaker 1: And I'm like, we literally haven't seen it. We have
Speaker 1: no idea. We're just going off of our current what
Speaker 1: we think might happen. We're just having a little fun
Speaker 1: with some prediction. We're just playing around. I I also
Speaker 1: wonder if maybe Searcy will eat it this season. Oh,
Speaker 1: I am so ready. I am not a Searcy fan, okay,
Speaker 1: but that's who do you think is going to be
Speaker 1: the bearer? Because people are saying maybe it might be Jamie. Oh,
Speaker 1: I could totally see that a poetic I could totally
Speaker 1: see that happening, right, absolutely. I don't know why I
Speaker 1: did not connect to Searcy the way that other people did.
Speaker 1: I'm like, when is she When is her turn? Though
Speaker 1: I think people respect Sarcy's ambition, I don't know that
Speaker 1: anyone likes Searcy like, I don't know that anyone's like,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, I hope Cercy takes it all. And I
Speaker 1: mean what she did that would be such a middle finger,
Speaker 1: like if oh man, Okay, anyways, I'm very ready. I'm sorry, Searcy,
Speaker 1: You've you've done your time where I'm ready for you
Speaker 1: to tap out. I also think they keep hinting at
Speaker 1: Denera's being pregnant after our so that might be a
Speaker 1: thing they don't protection they're using. Um And I do
Speaker 1: think are you will at least murder one other person
Speaker 1: off her kill list? Oh? I think she's I think
Speaker 1: she's definitely. Yeah, that's that's what's going to complete that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so it could be. The people still on her kill
Speaker 1: list are the Hound, Searcy. Oh, and her kill list
Speaker 1: is different the series than in the books. Um, Searcy,
Speaker 1: the Hound, the Mountain, ill In Payne, Melissandra, and Barrack
Speaker 1: Dundarian are the people still in her kill list in
Speaker 1: the show. Um, there's extra characters that have been cut
Speaker 1: out of the series that are on her kill list
Speaker 1: in the books. Um. So yeah, those are the things
Speaker 1: that I'm like expecting to happen. But other than that,
Speaker 1: like the big question everyone's asking is who do you
Speaker 1: think is going to finish sitting on the Iron Throne?
Speaker 1: And I legit have no idea. What if it's not
Speaker 1: somebody that one of the main characters. I think they're
Speaker 1: going to burn the Iron Throne. They're going to destroy it. Well,
Speaker 1: the Iron Throne is already melded weapons. I think they're
Speaker 1: gonna Denis is going to have a dragon just flame
Speaker 1: it till it melts. That's what they say. That's how
Speaker 1: they say it was made in the first place. Was
Speaker 1: the swords of the enemies melted by dragonfire? How that
Speaker 1: which is pretty awesome. I keep trying to find ways
Speaker 1: to destroy and you keep making I don't know. I
Speaker 1: feel like John and Danny might get married and rolled together.
Speaker 1: That might be a night, but that would be a
Speaker 1: nice resolution is not known. Oh no, good bye, no idea. Um,
Speaker 1: but yeah, tinfoil hat theories that are out there. Brand
Speaker 1: is the night King is a big one, or the
Speaker 1: brand travel back in time and was the original brand
Speaker 1: the Builder or both? Um. I like the belief that
Speaker 1: Tyrian is actually a Targarian as well, but as we
Speaker 1: go on, there's less to prove that that more viable
Speaker 1: about a season or two ago. But his dad, Tywan
Speaker 1: does say lots of stuff like you are no son
Speaker 1: of mine right, like there are things dropped in there
Speaker 1: that it could be the case, um and the and
Speaker 1: he also the dragon did not go after him the
Speaker 1: first time he had a dragon, which is another big
Speaker 1: targe Arean thing. So that that's total tinfoil hot um.
Speaker 1: And then a lot of people online I was reading
Speaker 1: recently that think mirro Read and John Snow are twins
Speaker 1: and it maybe mirro Read is also a targe arean. Um.
Speaker 1: I am not super in that camp, but there are
Speaker 1: definitely people online that are. It's so funny. I'm reading
Speaker 1: an article from Rotten tomatoes. That's like breaking down the timeline,
Speaker 1: and people commented, why did you use BC. That's like
Speaker 1: a totally different that doesn't exist, that's not in this timeline. Um, yeah,
Speaker 1: the Three Wise Men show up, and um, that's what
Speaker 1: I think. My guess is that probably because I've seen
Speaker 1: people use a C when they're talking about Game of
Speaker 1: Thrones and I always wondered what that was? After what
Speaker 1: what that? The Dragon time is apparently the timeline we're
Speaker 1: working off of. Well, we did it. We broke it down.
Speaker 1: I tried. There's so much information, of course, Yeah, and
Speaker 1: we can't. I mean, there's entire podcast dedicated to this show.
Speaker 1: So we hope that was a good refresher going into
Speaker 1: season eight. Yeah, and I hope into all the people
Speaker 1: who just decided to pop this on before they start
Speaker 1: the next next episode in the new season. Enjoy the show, Tricia.
