1
00:00:04,599 --> 00:00:07,320
Speaker 1: Hello, ladies and gentlemen, Welcome back to another episode of

2
00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:09,919
Geek First Podcast. I am one of your hosts, the

3
00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:11,960
dancer Taylor Field, and I'm joined by.

4
00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:15,039
Speaker 2: I am the squire KIRKLM. Pat Ser.

5
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:18,960
Speaker 1: Yes, we're here because we were putting our toes back

6
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:22,519
into the magical continent of a Western Roast with a

7
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:24,839
Night of the Seven Kingdoms. And you know, at the

8
00:00:24,879 --> 00:00:26,800
end of the day, I'm just I'm baffled by how

9
00:00:26,879 --> 00:00:30,760
quickly this just kind of disappeared before us. I really wasn't.

10
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:34,920
Speaker 3: I knew it was like early this year, but I

11
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:38,759
feel like we just blinked and it was here. I mean, yeah, no,

12
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:41,200
I'm excited to jump back into West Roast, but yeah,

13
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:42,159
it definitely surprised me.

14
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:42,840
Speaker 2: Snap right out.

15
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:46,359
Speaker 1: I sure did. But yeah, we've we've got a lot

16
00:00:46,399 --> 00:00:49,359
of other Game of Thrones oriented stuff like House the

17
00:00:49,439 --> 00:00:51,840
Dragon reviews. I want to say we did a Game

18
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:54,240
of Thrones like final season review, but maybe we didn't.

19
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:55,479
Mayb I'm getting that confused.

20
00:00:56,679 --> 00:00:58,759
Speaker 3: I remember I wouldn't have been on it because I didn't.

21
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:00,679
I didn't watch it for the longest time.

22
00:01:01,119 --> 00:01:01,759
Speaker 1: Oh is that right?

23
00:01:02,479 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 2: Yeah?

24
00:01:03,159 --> 00:01:05,959
Speaker 1: So are you like a new like a new fan

25
00:01:06,879 --> 00:01:07,359
next gen.

26
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:09,480
Speaker 2: I wouldn't say so.

27
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:12,439
Speaker 3: I was watching it like as it was coming out,

28
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:15,879
like week to week, back in like season three that era,

29
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:17,680
and then I think I just fell off in like

30
00:01:17,719 --> 00:01:20,359
season six, and then it just I never watched it.

31
00:01:20,439 --> 00:01:23,680
I like took like the show ended, and I just

32
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:25,879
I never watched it. And then years later Shape wanted

33
00:01:25,879 --> 00:01:28,599
to watch it, so we rewatched it together, and uh,

34
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:30,719
well she watched it for the first time. I watched

35
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:33,760
it with her and yeah, that's when I finished it.

36
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:36,560
That's I don't know, that was many years ago now

37
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:38,280
though that was like over five.

38
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:41,400
Speaker 1: Okay, I want to say, okay, and have you and

39
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:44,200
Shape done The House of Dragon together or did you

40
00:01:44,239 --> 00:01:45,879
just do that solo for the cast?

41
00:01:46,239 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 2: Uh, she's seen it all.

42
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:50,879
Speaker 3: I feel like we mostly watched it all together, but

43
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,799
she might have had like a shift that she was working,

44
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:57,000
so she missed out on the Sunday release because I

45
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,040
ain't waiting, you know, we're doing reviews. I gotta watch

46
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,480
that and get it up there. But you know she's

47
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:02,519
she's fully caught up.

48
00:02:03,159 --> 00:02:07,079
Speaker 1: Nice cool, all right, Well yeah, my I mean Game

49
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:09,159
of Thrones. It's just it's I'm kind of like you

50
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,400
I fell off at around I think season five or

51
00:02:11,439 --> 00:02:14,240
six when it was like releasing, and then one season

52
00:02:14,319 --> 00:02:16,400
seven and eight were out, I was like, okay, I'm

53
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,840
back in here. So I think I took like a

54
00:02:18,879 --> 00:02:20,800
one or two season kind of break. But some of

55
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:22,520
those shows I remember, I wasn't there at the start.

56
00:02:22,599 --> 00:02:26,439
And when Game of Thrones came out, it was probably

57
00:02:26,479 --> 00:02:29,039
season three when it was airing, and I bought season

58
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,120
one from Target and I went home and I watched it.

59
00:02:31,159 --> 00:02:32,960
I was like, oh my god. I binged it on

60
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,919
a weekend Saturday Sunday session. It was so good. Went

61
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:39,840
and bought season two. Binge that as well, just says

62
00:02:39,879 --> 00:02:41,520
the show that has that kind of magic to it,

63
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,120
and how's the Dragon? Definitely go check out our reviews

64
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,400
because I feel like we're all pretty uh, we're pretty

65
00:02:47,039 --> 00:02:49,080
juiced on that, and you know, you get some great

66
00:02:49,599 --> 00:02:52,639
memes come out of there too, like where is the guy?

67
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:54,479
Where's the guy there? He is?

68
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:55,759
Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, he's still in there.

69
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:58,599
Speaker 1: I hope we get yeah my son's I hope we

70
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:01,080
get of a Sarah in this show. That would be

71
00:03:01,159 --> 00:03:07,039
kind of sweet, like an equivalent, an equivalent the same guy. No, No, definitely.

72
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:08,319
Speaker 2: Not just Patty.

73
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,080
Speaker 3: Uh, I can't remember his last name now, but that

74
00:03:11,199 --> 00:03:13,360
same actor just bring him back is a different role.

75
00:03:14,479 --> 00:03:17,319
Speaker 1: Well, there were a few people in this this episode

76
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:19,319
that I thought, Man, this actor looks familiar. Have we

77
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:21,520
seen this actor before? Like, oh, this actor looks like

78
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:27,800
another like characters? Yeah, yeah absolutely. But anyways, I'm I'm

79
00:03:27,879 --> 00:03:31,159
rambling on here. Where where do we want to start?

80
00:03:31,199 --> 00:03:33,759
Obviously not spoilers, and then we can kind of break

81
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:35,039
off into the spoiler portion.

82
00:03:36,599 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 3: Uh yeah, I guess I'll start off by asking you

83
00:03:39,879 --> 00:03:41,520
do you know anything about the story?

84
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:43,479
Speaker 2: Because it is a book, it.

85
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,639
Speaker 3: Is Yeah, I found that out through a friend who

86
00:03:46,719 --> 00:03:49,360
has read the book when I was talking about the

87
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:53,120
show coming out, and I know nothing. So I'm as

88
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:55,680
blind as a bat going into this one, which is

89
00:03:55,759 --> 00:03:58,240
kind of exciting. I didn't really know too much what

90
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:01,360
was going on in House the Dragon either, but I

91
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:06,520
feel like the events of that story, like we're talked

92
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:09,159
about in Game of Thrones, so you have like somewhat

93
00:04:09,159 --> 00:04:12,080
of an idea of maybe what's going to be happening.

94
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:13,680
But in this one, I feel like I'm just super

95
00:04:13,719 --> 00:04:16,879
blind and it doesn't feel like this character is like

96
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:20,600
a super talked about individual in like later Game of

97
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:24,680
Thrones shows and stuff. So yeah, I'm pretty excited to

98
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:26,959
get back in there. And I feel like just having

99
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,759
like the HBO quality of the shows there, it's just

100
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:32,480
it's just a fun Sunday ritual to tune into a

101
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:36,279
you know, for us it's crave, but just on Sunday

102
00:04:36,319 --> 00:04:39,720
evenings tuning in to watch some good television.

103
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:43,839
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, I I well, I did not know

104
00:04:43,959 --> 00:04:46,399
his book, but I should not have been surprised because

105
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:50,279
it just seems like it's like it's got a foundation

106
00:04:50,519 --> 00:04:53,079
from somewhere, right, I mean, unless you're talking Game of

107
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,839
Thrones episode air or season eight, that kind of just

108
00:04:55,879 --> 00:05:00,800
branches off on its own without that kind of what

109
00:05:00,879 --> 00:05:03,839
would you call it source material?

110
00:05:04,199 --> 00:05:06,759
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, they're free wheeling.

111
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:09,319
Speaker 1: And they're free wheelin. Yeah. So it's it's kind of

112
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:11,839
nice that we still get Game of through its content

113
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,040
that has that kind of source and that kind of

114
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:17,360
just I don't want to say safety net. That sounds

115
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,120
like kind of like a negative thing, but I feel

116
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:19,800
like what they.

117
00:05:19,639 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 3: All do in some way, shape or form, like at

118
00:05:22,879 --> 00:05:26,000
least all the ones that have been released so far, right,

119
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:30,040
like how's the Dragon? I don't know if that have

120
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:33,199
is like a dedicated book, but like, I'm not sure.

121
00:05:33,199 --> 00:05:35,240
At least there was like that story was talked about,

122
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:36,240
but I don't know.

123
00:05:36,399 --> 00:05:37,879
Speaker 1: But it's like a hit or miss. It's a hit

124
00:05:37,959 --> 00:05:39,319
or miss because like some if you look at the

125
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:41,759
Hobbit Oh they did, they took one book and branched

126
00:05:41,759 --> 00:05:44,920
it into three movies. It's like, ah, that's you know,

127
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:47,319
don't do that, and then you got the books. Well,

128
00:05:47,759 --> 00:05:50,600
even like the Jurassic Park films or Drastic World films,

129
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,839
they've got like four movies and they've been pulling five

130
00:05:53,959 --> 00:05:56,720
movies actually five movies that are pulling from two books.

131
00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:00,639
It's like, that's just I don't know how to say it,

132
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:04,439
too too much too little bread with too much butter.

133
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:09,759
Speaker 3: That No, that's like the opposite effect. That's like too

134
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:13,120
much too much juice. We got too much source material

135
00:06:13,639 --> 00:06:16,160
for what we got the show. I feel like it'd

136
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,199
be not enough butter or too much bread.

137
00:06:18,199 --> 00:06:22,480
Speaker 1: That's the one that's yeah, like you're metaphor of them.

138
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:26,439
But no, I like that Game of Thrones can just

139
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:30,160
kind of be reliant on having written content to kind

140
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:34,399
of run with, and in terms of the show, it

141
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:38,319
feels different, and I wonder if the book is written

142
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:41,639
in the same way. Well, I'm wondering if the book

143
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:43,279
is written in the same way of Game of Thrones

144
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:45,920
or is written differently. While the show so far in

145
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:48,720
this episode has the Game of Thrones iss to it,

146
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:51,439
there's the way that people are acting and certain things

147
00:06:51,439 --> 00:06:53,480
are happening, even like a little bit more of a

148
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:57,399
comedic beat to it, it just feels very different, and

149
00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:00,839
it feels like people are clumsy and not in a

150
00:07:00,959 --> 00:07:04,360
poor writing way. It kind of fits because I feel

151
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:06,560
like a lot of people at this time period are idiots, right,

152
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:07,920
And when you look at how this kind of fits

153
00:07:07,959 --> 00:07:10,519
into the narrative, everything is just kind of coming off

154
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:12,639
of a war, so people are probably just you know,

155
00:07:15,439 --> 00:07:19,720
I feel like, how do I say this without it

156
00:07:19,759 --> 00:07:21,959
being kind of like offensive. I feel like all like

157
00:07:22,079 --> 00:07:25,639
the braves and all of the the the the noblemen

158
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:29,000
have all died off faced their you know, the enemy

159
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:30,959
and war, and a lot of them have have you know,

160
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:32,519
they're gone. It's now you've got it just a bunch

161
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,079
of like spoiled people that have reaped the benefits of

162
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:37,319
following the fallout of war. Kind of a thing like

163
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:39,560
the victories and stuff like that, and so a lot

164
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:41,480
of these people are just kind of like clumsy whatnot.

165
00:07:41,519 --> 00:07:43,439
And there's not a lot of like noble, honorable people

166
00:07:43,519 --> 00:07:46,120
in this time because this is after the House of

167
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:50,560
the Dragon war, right and before Game of Thrones obviously.

168
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:54,199
So that's my head canon of how I'm kind of

169
00:07:54,519 --> 00:07:57,319
perceiving it. But again, I just had to fall back

170
00:07:57,360 --> 00:07:59,920
to what I said about the writing and this show.

171
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,199
Asthenic feels very different from Game of Thrones, which Game

172
00:08:02,199 --> 00:08:04,360
of Thrones as much darker House of the Dragon as much,

173
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:09,160
you know, very serious and and traumatic and whatnot. I

174
00:08:09,199 --> 00:08:11,720
was curious, did you kind of feel that difference too.

175
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:13,839
Speaker 2: Oh, definitely. It's definitely a more.

176
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:18,839
Speaker 3: As of right now, a more uplifting tone than what

177
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:23,040
those ones are, I feel like right away. In both

178
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:25,680
those shows, they just hit you with like the gut

179
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:28,120
punch of like, oh yeah, this is so fucked up

180
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:31,600
and just depressing the show could be. But this episode

181
00:08:31,639 --> 00:08:32,240
didn't really have.

182
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:35,399
Speaker 2: That at all. It was very lighthearted.

183
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:39,320
Speaker 3: It seems I feel like our two mains, Sir Dunk

184
00:08:39,399 --> 00:08:43,639
and Egg Squire Egg whatever you want to call him, like,

185
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:47,759
they both had moments to really showcase like their individual

186
00:08:47,879 --> 00:08:49,759
charm as well as like a quick little moments that

187
00:08:49,799 --> 00:08:52,200
they had together. So I feel like it was a

188
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:56,240
really good pilot episode for that of like showing, hey,

189
00:08:56,279 --> 00:08:58,039
these are our two adventures, this is who we're going

190
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:02,840
to be following. I feel like, I mean, I had

191
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:04,799
no idea what to expect, but just for this being

192
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:07,600
like the one pilot, it ended and I was like, oh, okay, yeah,

193
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:10,000
that was like a real quick little dip into the

194
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:13,440
pond of this new Westros show, which is totally fine.

195
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:15,759
I think part of me was like expecting like a

196
00:09:15,759 --> 00:09:18,320
two episode premiere with maybe just how I was feeling

197
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:19,720
at the end of it, because it just seemed like

198
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:23,960
it ended really really quickly. But I mean that's I

199
00:09:24,519 --> 00:09:26,480
guess that maybe just speaks to like the quality of

200
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:30,480
the pacing everything and how much I did enjoy this episode.

201
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:36,159
And yeah, but for sure, it's definitely very, very noticeably

202
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:39,679
different of a tone. I'm curious if it gets to

203
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:44,039
that level of like what Game of Thrones and how's

204
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:47,159
the Dragon gets of just like dark levels. I'm sure

205
00:09:47,519 --> 00:09:49,440
it's still it's still Westros. There's still gonna be fucked

206
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:52,679
up things that happens. I'm just curious, like how much

207
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:53,799
it does happen?

208
00:09:54,039 --> 00:09:58,279
Speaker 1: And yeah, but they tried to throw that dialogue at

209
00:09:58,279 --> 00:10:01,000
you too, right, we got certain characters like, oh, you

210
00:10:01,039 --> 00:10:06,200
know people that don't or they lie, we string them

211
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:08,399
up and we stab a spike up their ass and

212
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:10,200
you know, we fuck them up, and then all that,

213
00:10:10,279 --> 00:10:12,279
you know, they got the they got the dialogue in there.

214
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:14,399
But then it's like, oh, just kidding, just kidding, and

215
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,840
it's like okay, okay, well we're getting on that cusp

216
00:10:17,879 --> 00:10:19,639
of it, but we're not quite there, but I'm sure

217
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:22,480
something will happen. In terms of length, this episode was

218
00:10:22,759 --> 00:10:24,399
much shorter than I thought. I thought we were in

219
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:26,120
here for an hour and a half and I was thinking,

220
00:10:26,159 --> 00:10:27,960
I'll Kirkland, I'm gonna be joining the review at like

221
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:31,200
ten o'clock. Oh shit, Yeah, it's like, oh no, forty

222
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:33,480
minutes ish.

223
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:33,840
Speaker 2: Yeah.

224
00:10:33,879 --> 00:10:36,799
Speaker 3: I was definitely expecting something closer to a flat one hour,

225
00:10:37,279 --> 00:10:39,480
like at least like a fifty two minutes minimum.

226
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:44,559
Speaker 1: But yeah, yeah, do you have anything else non spoilers

227
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:46,200
you want to throw out there or do we just

228
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:47,240
want to get into it now?

229
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 2: Uh? I don't think so.

230
00:10:51,279 --> 00:10:53,879
Speaker 3: I think as like I already said, like it is

231
00:10:53,399 --> 00:10:57,279
a good enough pilot that has me interested one and more.

232
00:10:58,519 --> 00:11:00,840
But like, if people are me about the show, I

233
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:05,159
feel like you could wait a week to jump into it,

234
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:06,440
you know, you know what I mean. It's not like

235
00:11:06,639 --> 00:11:08,679
episode one happened. It's like, holy shit, you gotta watch

236
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:11,000
this right away before you get spoiled on anything. It

237
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,279
definitely seems like we're kind of just slowly easing our

238
00:11:13,279 --> 00:11:19,039
way into this adventure. So but yeah, I would recommend

239
00:11:19,039 --> 00:11:20,200
it so far for what I've seen.

240
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:23,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, i'd recommend it too. And I will say

241
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:26,200
this is something that I would have felt better if

242
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:29,039
we had like a two episode premiere, because I feel

243
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,720
like we could have got a little bit more story

244
00:11:32,759 --> 00:11:34,559
that would have helped. I feel like we didn't get

245
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:38,120
a lot with this episode. It was just I don't know,

246
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:42,200
it was just present, you know, just there. But I digress.

247
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:49,960
We'll get into spoilers after this first ad break and

248
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:51,840
we are back, so you know what, you know what

249
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:54,279

00:12:48,759 --> 00:12:51,840
popping off on the feeds. It's a good time. So yeah,

270
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,440
where do you want to start now? With the spoilers

271
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:58,200
under way?

272
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:01,399
Speaker 3: Where do I want to start. Uh, maybe we'll just

273
00:13:01,399 --> 00:13:04,159
start with our with with our lead. Uh, Sir Duncan

274
00:13:04,399 --> 00:13:07,799
the tall start at the beginning where he's he's doing

275
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:12,919
a little makeshift funeral for his father, like figure. I

276
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:14,879
don't know if he says specifically it was his father,

277
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:17,600
but that was definitely the role that he that he

278
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:21,000
had for him, and I don't know, it was just

279
00:13:21,039 --> 00:13:23,799
like a really interesting way to start the show. I

280
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:26,159
feel like I was expecting something fucked up to happen

281
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:27,919
in that sequence, like someone comes and.

282
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:30,440
Speaker 2: Just murders his horse, Like that's just where.

283
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:33,399
Speaker 3: I'm like trained to be on my expectations when it

284
00:13:33,399 --> 00:13:36,559
comes to Game of Thrones. It's just how wild some

285
00:13:36,639 --> 00:13:39,720
of the stuff happens. And in both House the Dragon

286
00:13:39,799 --> 00:13:42,799
and the original Game Throne show. But no, that didn't happen.

287
00:13:42,799 --> 00:13:47,559
It seemed pretty just down to earth and and like grounded.

288
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:52,240
And yeah, no, I I really like our our lead,

289
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:56,480
our main character. He has like a very generic face

290
00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:58,240
to him, but I feel like it fits the role

291
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:05,240
so well, So yeah, I do enjoy it. But yeah, no,

292
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:09,480
I I think like on reach, look at that.

293
00:14:09,639 --> 00:14:11,399
Speaker 1: One of those generic faces.

294
00:14:12,279 --> 00:14:14,320
Speaker 3: The more generic than that, I feel like I feel

295
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:17,159
like the master chief face is a little bit less.

296
00:14:16,919 --> 00:14:18,120
Speaker 2: Generic than the average man.

297
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 3: But yeah, I think I was I gonna say there, oh,

298
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:27,039
just just like who our character actually is or sor

299
00:14:27,159 --> 00:14:29,759
dunk on the tall. I feel like I was expecting again,

300
00:14:29,879 --> 00:14:33,279
like a big lineage that ties to something, but that

301
00:14:33,279 --> 00:14:36,440
that wasn't really the case. Here is just some average

302
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:39,360
show who was a squiring for this guy, and yeah,

303
00:14:39,399 --> 00:14:41,480
it just seems like an honorable man. But what do

304
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:43,799
you think about this opening and our hero.

305
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 1: Well, they they give you a kind of a curve ball,

306
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:51,720
because yeah, you you're expecting something bad to happen in

307
00:14:51,759 --> 00:14:54,960
Game of Thrones fashion, and nothing does happen. It just

308
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:59,240
seems very sincere. He says some heartfelt words too, you know,

309
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:04,039
his his sir Knight, and it's just he he gets

310
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:06,480
this kind of like stoic glance to himself where he's

311
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:09,679
gonna make something of his life and whatnot and carry

312
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:12,240
forth and become a knight, a proper night. And so

313
00:15:12,799 --> 00:15:14,720
you hear that Game of Thrones score kicking, and it

314
00:15:14,879 --> 00:15:17,000
just cuts it off and cuts to him taking a

315
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:19,919
mad shit right by the tree. It's like, oh, this

316
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:23,600
is different. This feels like they're just kind of like

317
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:27,200
throwing shade at there the previous era of Game of

318
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:29,440
Thrones in some way, and just kind of like taking

319
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:31,840
a step in a new direction. That's just how I

320
00:15:31,879 --> 00:15:34,120
took it. And maybe I was overthinking everything about that,

321
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:36,039
but it did make me laugh. It did make me chuckle.

322
00:15:37,879 --> 00:15:40,519
But I kind of I do kind of like this character.

323
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:42,679
You know, he's he's firm, and he's trying to be

324
00:15:44,399 --> 00:15:46,440
at least with Egg so far, well you're talking more

325
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:48,279
about Egg. He's trying to be that guy that's kind

326
00:15:48,279 --> 00:15:51,519
of more disciplined and like his mentor was his night

327
00:15:52,399 --> 00:15:55,080
was whereas you get that brief cut scene where he's like, oh,

328
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:57,799
you treated me well when I told you about how

329
00:15:57,879 --> 00:16:00,080
someone else that stole the bread. It cuts to the

330
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:03,799
the night just backhanding him when he was a little boy.

331
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:09,399
It's clearly got some resonating disciplinary issues for him that

332
00:16:09,679 --> 00:16:11,679
I don't think he's going to carry forth and enact

333
00:16:11,679 --> 00:16:13,879
with Egg. Obviously, you can tell that their relationship is

334
00:16:13,919 --> 00:16:15,840
going to be something that's quite special and kind of

335
00:16:15,919 --> 00:16:19,879
nice and sincere, and I worry about where that relationship

336
00:16:19,919 --> 00:16:22,080
is going to go in terms of one of them

337
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:23,519
is going to get killed or something like that. Again,

338
00:16:23,679 --> 00:16:25,639
I haven't read the books, so I don't know, but

339
00:16:25,759 --> 00:16:29,240
I do know when it comes to Egg, how how

340
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:32,039
he is related on the Great Scheme of Things? Do

341
00:16:32,159 --> 00:16:34,679
you know how he's related on the Great Scheme of Things?

342
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 2: I have a thought. I have a thought.

343
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 1: It's I don't want to say like it's a spoiler,

344
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:48,519
because if you've watched Game of Thrones you would know

345
00:16:48,639 --> 00:16:55,360
who he is, which is like he's a part. Yeah,

346
00:16:55,519 --> 00:16:57,759
there you go, Yeah you knew you know there.

347
00:16:58,159 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 2: I feel like, yeah, I feel like I don't know.

348
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:03,360
Speaker 3: Just the name Egg makes me think egg on or

349
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:09,119
or so again just in that Targerian realm, they they

350
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:10,079
got him just bald.

351
00:17:10,279 --> 00:17:12,480
Speaker 2: Here is that to hide? Like the silver hair?

352
00:17:13,519 --> 00:17:16,680
Speaker 1: Uh? That's how I take it. Yeah, that's exactly how

353
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:23,680
I take it. So do you remember Master Aimond at

354
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:27,519
the Wall and gave me thrones? Yes, So he's the

355
00:17:27,519 --> 00:17:32,799
brother of Egg. Oh yeah, fun little connection there because

356
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:34,839
in Game of Thrones he talks to like Johnston was like,

357
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:37,440
oh my brother Egg do and so.

358
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:45,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was a bloody cunt. I don't remember that diary.

359
00:17:45,599 --> 00:17:54,039
Speaker 1: He was a fine boy boys black Eye series so much.

360
00:17:57,960 --> 00:17:59,720
But yeah, I don't really have anything else to add

361
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:02,759
necessary add onto Sir Duncan is that he's He's right,

362
00:18:02,799 --> 00:18:05,000
it is innocent, he's noble, and I got a kick

363
00:18:05,039 --> 00:18:07,680
out of him just being in the situation here of

364
00:18:07,759 --> 00:18:12,119
the tenth of a Brathian, which I don't know where

365
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:17,319
this Brathian fits into the tree of things. I'm wondering

366
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:22,599
if maybe Robert and stanis Brathian or his sons and

367
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:25,519
Renley Renley I guess three brothers, right, so they might

368
00:18:25,559 --> 00:18:28,039
all be his kids because they lead the rebellion against

369
00:18:28,039 --> 00:18:29,920
the tart of the mad King, which I don't know.

370
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:32,880
Maybe that may be another generation away that I think

371
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:34,599
we're still like one hundred years off of that or

372
00:18:34,599 --> 00:18:38,400
something like that. But it's cool seeing the lineages and

373
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:41,599
the houses. Whenever you see symbols on like the knights

374
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:44,000
armor and whatnot, I'm just getting all giddy thinking like,

375
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:46,079
oh which house is that again? You know?

376
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:52,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, for sure, just like recognizable sigils or like

377
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:56,400
like with the Brathian having like the whatever the antlers

378
00:18:56,440 --> 00:19:02,240
that they wear and the ah what was his name?

379
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:06,480
I think I have IMDb open, Oh yeah, I do. Uh,

380
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:10,480
Sir Stefan foss Away too, like the knight that was

381
00:19:10,519 --> 00:19:14,559
dressed in all red. Is he looking like Lanister type colors?

382
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:21,319
Speaker 1: Was this the jerk who had the younger? Okay, kind

383
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:23,880
of what was this? Did he he had the sun

384
00:19:24,039 --> 00:19:25,680
on his shirt? Right? Isn't that right?

385
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:30,160
Speaker 3: I don't remember. It was just like blood red. Maybe

386
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:31,319
maybe it's Targerian.

387
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:31,799
Speaker 2: I don't know.

388
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:34,519
Speaker 1: Oh, I mean it could be target and I'd have

389
00:19:34,559 --> 00:19:37,599
to I'd have to revisit that and check. But yeah,

390
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:38,359
he was an asshole.

391
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, he just wanted to fight him. You just wanted

392
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:45,720
to guy.

393
00:19:47,839 --> 00:19:50,359
Speaker 1: Yeah. I I could see his cousin being kind of

394
00:19:51,319 --> 00:19:53,480
maybe more of like a main character something like that,

395
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:56,680
at least befriending the little guy. The little guy, Yeah,

396
00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:58,160
I just get like, shit kicked out him. You know,

397
00:19:58,200 --> 00:19:59,680
we all got those cousins. We kicked the ship out

398
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:02,200
of right, I don't do.

399
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:04,680
Speaker 2: That, kick the ship out because or because it kicks.

400
00:20:05,079 --> 00:20:12,119
Speaker 1: You anything else you have on Sir Duncan.

401
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:18,240
Speaker 3: Uh not really? Uh So he still has his three horses.

402
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:21,839
By the end of this m I was waiting for

403
00:20:21,839 --> 00:20:23,920
something bad to happen to these horses this whole episode.

404
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:26,480
I'm curious what's gonna happen with them? Because I feel

405
00:20:26,519 --> 00:20:29,480
like there's a lot of value in having three super

406
00:20:29,519 --> 00:20:33,039
healthy looking horses in this day and age. He even

407
00:20:33,039 --> 00:20:34,799
makes a point of emphasis that he could be eating

408
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:38,480
like a king for like months if he sold the horses.

409
00:20:38,519 --> 00:20:41,720
Speaker 2: But because why what does he need three? Also, you

410
00:20:41,799 --> 00:20:43,039
know what I mean, Well.

411
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:46,279
Speaker 1: He doesn't want to handle to handle. I mean at

412
00:20:46,279 --> 00:20:47,880
this point in time, if I was living in this

413
00:20:48,039 --> 00:20:51,960
time period, I just don't feel comfortable leaving three horses

414
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:53,880
to be tended to and a stable or something like that.

415
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:56,319
Like we've all played Elder scrolls. We know horse thieves

416
00:20:56,319 --> 00:20:59,319
are you know, that's a real thing, and you can't

417
00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:01,960
leave shit about. Oh right, And if he sells the

418
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:04,400
horses and he's carried like five fucking bags worth on

419
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:07,400
his hip of gold, like god damn, Like it's just's

420
00:21:07,559 --> 00:21:11,920
you gotta be careful with that kind of shit. So yeah,

421
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,839
but I don't I don't know how the betting, like

422
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:16,720
the payout kind of thing works. So if he loses,

423
00:21:16,839 --> 00:21:18,960
because obviously he's going into the tournament, he's trying to

424
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:21,519
get qualification and say, hey, like I'm actually a knight,

425
00:21:21,599 --> 00:21:23,039
this guy that this lord is gonna vouch for me

426
00:21:23,079 --> 00:21:24,920
so I can enter the competition because it's Night's only

427
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:27,279
and if I win, then the other Night has to

428
00:21:27,279 --> 00:21:29,599
give me all his ship. If I lose, then I

429
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:32,400
forego everything, and like he has to give all three horses,

430
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:33,799
is that right, like all of his stuff?

431
00:21:34,519 --> 00:21:36,759
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think just all of his loot. It's like

432
00:21:36,839 --> 00:21:38,799
rune escape rules when you go into the wildie.

433
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:42,720
Speaker 1: Oh no, yeah, I don't think he's gonna.

434
00:21:42,519 --> 00:21:46,319
Speaker 3: Lose, but uh maybe that's that's what they're sending them

435
00:21:46,599 --> 00:21:47,000
us up for.

436
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:51,039
Speaker 1: Well, he saw the star, right, so he's uh, he's good.

437
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:54,079
That's that's a solid ten out of ten for him.

438
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:59,359
Uh true, Yeah, No, I don't. I Game of Thrones

439
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:01,960
fashion would be that he loses and you know the

440
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:04,480
guy would cut his horse's head off or something.

441
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:08,000
Speaker 2: Like that, but right in front of him, so graphic.

442
00:22:09,519 --> 00:22:11,359
Speaker 1: I just feel like this show so far and what

443
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:13,680
we got in this episode, it has a level of

444
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:17,519
optimistic or optimism to it. And even like he's in

445
00:22:17,519 --> 00:22:21,079
this tent of the Brathian and the Brathian's just like, oh,

446
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:24,079
I you know, are you either here to give something

447
00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:27,279
to me or have my head? Like which which fucking

448
00:22:27,319 --> 00:22:29,480
one is? It's like I'm here for supper. And then

449
00:22:29,519 --> 00:22:31,200
he just starts laughing. It's like it's a good point.

450
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:32,960
And then they started dancing together. It's like, this just

451
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:37,079
doesn't feel like classic Game of Thrones aesthetics. So I

452
00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:39,000
just think he's gonna have a lot more success as

453
00:22:39,039 --> 00:22:41,960
a character and the show will kind of have a

454
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:50,079
happy vibe to it, which is I guess like subverting

455
00:22:50,079 --> 00:22:55,920
our expectations maybe in a weird way. But yeah, I

456
00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:57,599
have to wait and see. How do you feel about

457
00:22:57,599 --> 00:23:00,799
Egg though, Uh.

458
00:23:00,559 --> 00:23:04,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, I, like I said in the spoiler free section,

459
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:06,680
I feel like it was a good introduction of both characters,

460
00:23:07,599 --> 00:23:14,119
and this character in particular. Yeah, I'm just really intrigued

461
00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:16,880
on kind of like the significance of this character. If

462
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:20,440
it's just gonna be like a charming little squire that

463
00:23:20,799 --> 00:23:23,000
we have with Sir Duncan, like someone to just bounce

464
00:23:23,039 --> 00:23:25,759
off of, or if it's gonna have like very significant

465
00:23:25,759 --> 00:23:30,200
crucial impact in the overall story. It's tough to say

466
00:23:30,279 --> 00:23:33,480
right now, just because it was, like we already mentioned

467
00:23:33,599 --> 00:23:36,759
like a forty minute quick episodes and all of that

468
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:39,680
was not spent on like really talking about these characters,

469
00:23:39,799 --> 00:23:41,759
which which is totally fine. It was it was a

470
00:23:41,759 --> 00:23:46,079
good pilot, but yeah, really surface level kind of introduction

471
00:23:46,839 --> 00:23:51,000
details on these characters, but like what I got so far, Yeah,

472
00:23:51,039 --> 00:23:53,160
I think it's gonna be It's not like an annoying

473
00:23:53,279 --> 00:23:56,119
child actor that it's gonna be like oh Man getting

474
00:23:56,519 --> 00:24:00,480
flashbacks Skelton crew, you know, just complaining about fucking or

475
00:24:00,519 --> 00:24:02,839
Tim whatever the fuck his name was that one character.

476
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:04,640
Speaker 2: But yeah, no, it's good.

477
00:24:05,319 --> 00:24:09,839
Speaker 1: I'm very impressed with HBO and Craves casting for child

478
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:12,839
actors because I liked every all the kids like it.

479
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:15,240
Welcome to Dariy, all those kid actors, They're fantastic. They

480
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:17,039
were great, and so like going into here and so

481
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:19,720
far with Egg, yeah, I really enjoy it. I think

482
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:21,799
he's doing a great job. And again we haven't gotten

483
00:24:21,839 --> 00:24:23,440
a lot with him. There's a lot more it's going

484
00:24:23,519 --> 00:24:26,759
to have to be explored. But just that basic three

485
00:24:26,799 --> 00:24:28,599
to four minute scene at the end where they're just

486
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:30,680
falling asleep by the fire and he's talking, and just

487
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:34,559
their kind of dialogue and their chemistry together had a

488
00:24:34,599 --> 00:24:37,359
really good, like brother to brother kind of vibe to

489
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:39,440
it that I'm excited to see how it's going to

490
00:24:39,519 --> 00:24:42,839
kind of grow and expand as they face happy moments

491
00:24:42,839 --> 00:24:46,599
and tribulations and all that. But yeah, I'm trying to

492
00:24:46,599 --> 00:24:49,880
think of other main characters in here that really would

493
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:51,599
play a part of the show, and we'll kind of

494
00:24:51,599 --> 00:24:54,599
be continuing forth. But I'm starting to think, too, is

495
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:59,680
this whole season just going to be him with the tournament?

496
00:25:00,039 --> 00:25:02,880
I think large scale, Like I don't think we're gonna

497
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:07,480
be going often into like the the Martel's and anything.

498
00:25:07,599 --> 00:25:12,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, drag and Dragons of the Sky. Yeah, it definitely

499
00:25:12,039 --> 00:25:14,200
feels like it's gonna be a very grounded story, like

500
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:18,359
very not so grandiose. We're like Game of Thrones that

501
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:20,680
has parts where you're just kind of in one specific

502
00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:23,240
area of the kingdom, but like you're dealing with the

503
00:25:23,279 --> 00:25:26,079
whole the whole kingdom. But like this just feels like

504
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:29,200
what does he even say they're they're in like a

505
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:31,400
hamlet or like a like a small little route, like

506
00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:34,119
like it's not even like a big palace or kingdom,

507
00:25:34,279 --> 00:25:37,720
Like no kings landing here. It's just just really small

508
00:25:37,759 --> 00:25:41,079
town vibes. And I feel like the show has that vibe,

509
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:43,839
and uh, yeah, I think it'll stay that way throughout

510
00:25:43,839 --> 00:25:45,200
the whole the whole season.

511
00:25:45,799 --> 00:25:47,799
Speaker 1: Is that a pro for you or a con would

512
00:25:47,839 --> 00:25:49,680
you rather have a little bit more grandiose this?

513
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:56,640
Speaker 3: I think. I think it can be a positive and

514
00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:59,880
a negative. I think right now I'm very neutral on

515
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:02,960
because one hand, it's nice to have something that's different

516
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:05,519
than what we've gotten before. For the previous Game of

517
00:26:05,599 --> 00:26:09,680
Throne show. Some just very tonally and scale wise, very

518
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:13,640
different than what those other shows were. But like i'd

519
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:15,960
be lying if you if you you know, we're pitching

520
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:19,759
like a Battle of the Bastards level like scale quality

521
00:26:19,839 --> 00:26:21,920
battle Like fuck, yeah, I want.

522
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:22,480
Speaker 2: That every week.

523
00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:24,920
Speaker 3: It's just great eye candy. I love my action movies.

524
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:28,279
I love my action sequences. I think this show will

525
00:26:28,319 --> 00:26:32,079
still have some stuff like that, but nowhere near to

526
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:35,119
the scale. Like we even saw some shots of like

527
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:37,599
trailers leading up to the show of like just the

528
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:41,519
actual like jousting and like how good it looks. It's

529
00:26:41,519 --> 00:26:43,480
not like it's just cgi like it is that HBO

530
00:26:43,559 --> 00:26:48,480
quality where they have actual horses and practical elements.

531
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:48,880
Speaker 2: At play there.

532
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:53,880
Speaker 3: So yeah, I think it is nice to little change

533
00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:56,640
of I don't know the flavoring from the other shows,

534
00:26:56,640 --> 00:26:59,839
but I'm a sucker for visuals and I know HBO

535
00:26:59,839 --> 00:27:01,920
can do some really really killer visuals.

536
00:27:02,799 --> 00:27:05,240
Speaker 1: I think this was either mentioned either online the meme

537
00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:08,759
or in the discord, but when I finished watching the episode,

538
00:27:08,759 --> 00:27:10,759
I was like, man, I just want to put on

539
00:27:10,799 --> 00:27:13,839
a night's tale now, you know, we will rock you

540
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:18,720
some some jousting action in there, because I feel like, hey,

541
00:27:18,839 --> 00:27:21,079
maybe that's what this is going to be like in

542
00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:23,920
a in its own way, right, they just.

543
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:27,920
Speaker 3: Have like queen music in this in this history show,

544
00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:29,799
we rock you.

545
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:35,000
Speaker 1: Where else do you want to go? Or is there

546
00:27:35,039 --> 00:27:36,759
anything else to discuss?

547
00:27:36,839 --> 00:27:41,079
Speaker 3: Even uh yeah, Like there's really not that much to

548
00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:43,920
unpack in this initial episode. It's like he just wants

549
00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:47,319
to join the tournament. There's a couple of little tasks

550
00:27:47,319 --> 00:27:50,240
that he kind of has to do so so that

551
00:27:50,319 --> 00:27:53,480
he can do that, and that's everything that he's doing here.

552
00:27:54,839 --> 00:27:57,440
I I guess one part of the episode I'll shout

553
00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:00,119
out is the there's like a couple of women that

554
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:02,960
he's interacting with that are just like shit talking him.

555
00:28:04,079 --> 00:28:06,279
He's just like this guy just feels like such a

556
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:09,720
I don't know, just such a I don't want to say,

557
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:12,279
like a simpleton, but just such like an innocent guy

558
00:28:12,319 --> 00:28:14,319
that like they're like saying that and then he's like,

559
00:28:14,319 --> 00:28:15,799
why are you Why are you making fun of me?

560
00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:18,559
And then they like feel bad for him. It's like, oh,

561
00:28:18,599 --> 00:28:21,240
we're not mocking you. I'm sorry, man. Like, this guy

562
00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:24,839
is just so innocent compared to other Game of Thrones

563
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:29,200
characters that like we're used to seeing, so like right there,

564
00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:32,519
Like that's kind of a nice change of I don't know,

565
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:35,079
just change up with the formula of like there is.

566
00:28:35,599 --> 00:28:38,319
I mean, there's always been some good people in Game

567
00:28:38,319 --> 00:28:42,519
of Thrones, but like the vast majority are just I

568
00:28:42,519 --> 00:28:45,079
don't know, rotten in their own right. But this character

569
00:28:45,119 --> 00:28:48,519
seems very innocent from the get go. And I imagine

570
00:28:48,559 --> 00:28:51,480
Egg is quite a bit too. But yeah, just just

571
00:28:51,519 --> 00:28:54,000
the interaction that he had with these I don't even

572
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:54,799
know what their roles are.

573
00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:58,880
Speaker 1: They were definitely mistresses or whatever.

574
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:04,559
Speaker 3: Yeah, women the Night's yes, yeah, but I just like

575
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:05,960
their their interaction there.

576
00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:08,119
Speaker 1: Make a good point with that because I feel like

577
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:10,519
in both House of the Dragon and Game of Thrones,

578
00:29:10,559 --> 00:29:12,640
if they were throwing insults at a character, the character

579
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:15,279
probably go up and like slit their throats. But yeah,

580
00:29:15,519 --> 00:29:19,519
he's uh passive aggressive, where he's just like, hey, that's

581
00:29:19,519 --> 00:29:22,039
not very nice, and yeah, leaves where other people would

582
00:29:22,039 --> 00:29:25,400
just be like, come here, bitch like this, murk them

583
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:29,440
or something like that. So that's a good point, good point,

584
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:33,559
super bad mic in the chat, The novella and the

585
00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:36,200
show feel a lot like an RPG video game where

586
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:39,200
a character starts level one with crap equipment. It's very

587
00:29:39,279 --> 00:29:40,480
much true. I'd say he.

588
00:29:40,519 --> 00:29:43,920
Speaker 3: Has that generic level one attire to him, which is

589
00:29:44,039 --> 00:29:49,960
like bluish grayish tunic sword shield.

590
00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:51,599
Speaker 1: That's a yeah.

591
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:53,559
Speaker 2: I think some of his gear that he wears in

592
00:29:53,599 --> 00:29:56,279
the in the trailers, you definitely get some some rare

593
00:29:56,359 --> 00:29:57,000
drops going.

594
00:29:57,640 --> 00:29:59,279
Speaker 1: Well, that's what the guy said too, right, like he

595
00:29:59,319 --> 00:30:00,960
needs to get like a trainer and needs to get

596
00:30:01,039 --> 00:30:03,680
upgrades and all these different things. And so I mean,

597
00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:05,880
if you win one battle, then yeah, you're definitely getting

598
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:09,279
You're getting your Ladies of the Night and your upgrades,

599
00:30:09,279 --> 00:30:11,680
your armor and all that kind of stuff. So yeah,

600
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:14,759
a lot to see, we'll have to see. But if

601
00:30:14,759 --> 00:30:17,960
you've got nothing else to add, then we're just gonna

602
00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:19,680
We're just gonna take a week off and come back

603
00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:20,480
next Sunday night.

604
00:30:22,079 --> 00:30:23,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, we can do that.

605
00:30:23,359 --> 00:30:26,839
Speaker 3: I wish I had some more exciting theories to pull

606
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:31,880
off and just just I don't know reference the source material.

607
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:34,559
But yeah, like I was saying earlier, I'm very blind,

608
00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:36,720
and that's an exciting thing too, because I have no

609
00:30:36,759 --> 00:30:39,000
idea what's gonna come. I really have no idea what's

610
00:30:39,039 --> 00:30:42,519
going to be happening with this, with this story. And yeah,

611
00:30:42,559 --> 00:30:45,640
so far it was so far, so good. Nice, nice entryway.

612
00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:50,880
Speaker 1: Cool. Yeah, well, ladies, gentlemen, thank you for tuning into

613
00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:55,240

00:30:55,839 --> 00:30:58,880
review of A Night at the Seventh King Thoms. We'll

618
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:11,000
Speaker 2: M
