Speaker 1: Hello, ladies and gentlemen, And I feel like we should
have been doing that this whole time on all these reviews.
I I feel like we might have done that on
the House of the Dragon reviews. Maybe not doing the
little uh, the little famous Game of Thrones intro music
because famously this episode does or sorry, the show does
not have that in the intro, but you.
Speaker 2: Like singing it?
Speaker 1: Yeah, just do a little hum in to lead into
the episode. Oh am, I am absolutely, but the game,
but the Game of Thrones one and preferably the South
Park rendition of the the Wiener Ween or Wiener Ween.
And do you know what you what I'm talking about?
Speaker 2: Yes? I do, I do.
Speaker 1: Okay, thank god, Okay, I thought I definitely I was
drowning there, Lady and gentlemen, she can decide for anything
I've been talking about. We are Revene, a Knight of
the Seven Kingdom's episode five here today. I am the
doth rocky singer crick Compatser, whom I joined.
Speaker 2: By I'm the their taylor Field taylor Field.
Speaker 1: Yes, le, gentle we are back. I feel like it's
been a while since we did this because last week's
was pushed to the Friday because of the Super Bowl,
so it has been more than seven days. Then we
normally do this, but this is the penultimate episode of
this season of this series, and yeah, no, we're gonna
get right into it. At the end of the episode.
We're gonna probably do a little bit of a speculation
and predictions on what we're gonna surmise will happen in
the finale next week on episode six. Crazy how quickly
this the show has just gone right by, especially being
it like shorter episodes and only being six episode or sorry, yeah,
shorter episodes and only six it's just soared right by.
And I I'll just lead into my thoughts, and I
thought this episode was a banger. I really really enjoyed
the show from the get I think the first episode,
I was a little bit like unsure where I was feeling,
just because it was so different than kind of what
I was expecting what I've seen in the past on
these Game of Throne show. But I don't know, really
like the characters. I do like the vibe. It is
a fun show to just tune in every week, and yeah,
it's there's a lot of heart in there. And I
feel like, especially last week's episode going into this, it
spiced right up on just like the intensity scale. Maybe
the last two episodes actually, I feel like both of
them have ended like really intense with the poor actor
lady the stage hand that got her fingers snapped off,
Like like from that point, I feel like it's just
been like rerilliant, more intense than what the earlier episodes were,
where the earlier ones were just really like I don't
want to say no stakes. It's just like more family
friendly type, maybe not family friendly. We saw some dong
in the episode in the second episode by Sir Arlen
Penney Tree, but regardless, it just seems like the stakes
have kind of been ramped up here in the last
couple episodes. And yeah, last week I ended with a
big cliffhanger going into the Seven Champions that Sir Duncan
the Tall has to what did they even call this?
It's just the Battle of the Seven. It's like the
Trial by seven Trial by seven, Okay. Yeah, so it
ended on the cliffhanger and we get into the competition,
and yeah, I thought it was awesome. I thought it
was really tense. There was multiple moments where I was
just like gasped because I just was so not expecting
something to happen. I think more so with like the
flashbacks that were spliced in there. And I should preface
by saying we are going right into the spoilers. This
is no spoiler presection leadon Jones. So if you if
you haven't seen it, to bow out, or if you
want to stick around, stick around with us. But yeah,
we're gonna be talking spoilers. But yeah, there was a
lot of flashbacks with Sir Duncan and Rafe I believe
was her name, his female compatriot from back in the
day before he met Sir Arlen, and particularly when she
gets like just her throat slipped. I was just like gasped,
like I thought for sure she was gonna like, I
don't know, like turn around and stab the guy. Like
I thought that that was gonna be like a moment,
but yeah, he just grabs a dag or slice your
throat right for I'm like, holy fuck, this is my
red wedding type, you know, minor, minor scale, but like
just that type of moment when the character gets her
throat slit right in front of our protagonist. It was
it was intense, but yeah, I kind of bounced around there.
But what do you think overall the episode and that
particular moment.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean the overall the episode. I thought it
was great and it got me. It got me really
really pumped. And then for a second I was like,
oh shoot, because it cut to this this in the
past moment, I thought, okay, that's I kind of thought
that too, But they circle back, and I'm very very
thankful for that. I think all in all, you know,
it has a nice start, cushion mish middle, and then
like a nice ending too that has a nice little
like cliffhanger moment, like, oh fuck, what's gonna happen next week?
So I was all years for this episode. It was great,
And yeah that particular moment because Madison was watching and
it was right before that happened mass and it's just like,
you know, this, this person's bad news, Like yeah, they're
full of bad decisions. The stump guy, the guy with
the one hand, Rafe. Rafe was all okay, yeah that
is bad and bad news. And so sure enough, yeah,
like she takes the dagger and then she likes said
dunk and this just starts to smile and then you
see you see this guy Alistair I think was his name,
starts coming after her and like, okay, so she's gonna
turn around and like and stab him. No, he just
pulls it out and slits her throat, like what was
your plan?
Speaker 1: Just takes the dagger right in front of him, like
what are you gonna do? Stab me? A person that
gets stabbed, Like it was one of those moments. Yeah,
she didn't really uh think that all the way through,
especially that like he knows that she's done that in
the past, like right away he checks just yeah, she
she had what was coming to her, but still very
brutal imagery for our protagonists or Duncan. And then like
afterwards when he's just like underneath the house like cold
and alone, sad that it's like he has no money,
like no food. It's just like totally down and out.
He got stabbed in the calf too, by that spear,
Like he had like an open wound that in these
times like there's no way he's not getting like super
infection gang green in that wound, like he would be
losing that leg for sure, But regardless, Yeah, that was
really intense moment at the end, was really intense. We
can kind of save that for the end because that
that'll lead into maybe next week's discussion or the predictions
for next week's discussion that we'll have. But even like
the opening, like honestly, like when when they get going,
Duncan's kind of having his panic attack, like he's having
a hard time initially going.
Speaker 2: Everyone's going, they're all puking green boys.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I didn't see that guy. I feel like he
got fucking murked right away. I feel like I didn't.
I should have rewound to because there was somebody early
on that just gets like tossed off their horse, and
I thought it was that same guy who he had
like fallen earlier and like broke part of me, broke
his leg, I think. And that's while he like was
only on the mount if I'm remembering of the right guy.
But regardless, yeah, right at the start when he just
gets stabbed like right in the stomach and gay, I
think it was yeah last week when we were like,
oh yeah, I think I was talking like, yeah, I
think he is gonna pop off, you know, like usually
in his game Throne show, we expect him to pop off,
but then he he just gets murked. But I kind
of think he was gonna know right away. He just
gets stabbed, like right in the gun.
Speaker 2: Shield is obliterated.
Speaker 1: He just like tosses it in the muck. There's like
such a big moment when he got that from the blacksmith.
It's like looking at his sigil, and yeah, it was
just so funny how quickly he went to shit. And
then when fucking the one Targarian Chap comes in with
the like the flail and it just like smokes him
in the head. And then all of a sudden, like
his one eye is just like shut. He took such
a beating.
Speaker 2: He's down in the mud and like then the mud
starts filling in his helmet. From that po b it's
like Jesus Christ gets stabbed.
Speaker 1: Right through the hand. Oh, it is brutal. He was
definitely fucked up by the end of it. But yeah,
I don't even know where I was going with that.
It was just like intense moments that like really had
me on the edge of my scene because of this episode. Well,
all the episode has been so short. This one felt
like it was arctane speed. Like I just felt like
it flew right back because I was so locked in
it did lose me like I don't want to say
it lose me, but just like lost like the pacing
a little bit when it did go to the flashback
and then like I had the same reaction as he was, like, Okay,
this is what we're gonna do with the big clash
battle scene. We're gonna just have a bunch of flashbacks
to kind of fluff up the overall sequence of it.
But no, I thought there was a good amount of
the actual battle as well as the flashbacks, and it
didn't feel like it overstates welcome, like maybe like could
take on a little bit less of the flashback stuff.
There's a couple of moments that it felt like there was,
I don't know, some dragging on moments, but for the
most part, I thought it was a good blend of
the flashback and then the actual clash, And uh, maybe
I wish I saw like more of the other guys,
like how they were faring, because like there's a moment
between Gosh, I don't remember his name, Yeah it is
prints Arion targ Arian, like the guy that's like accused
him of the crime, when they're like clashing and just
staring each other down and like limping at each other.
For like the final showdown, I'm like, where is everyone else, Like,
like like what is going on with with with the
other kings Guard guys and Buddy who's filling in for
his cousin that just like switched to the other side right,
Like we didn't see them clash at all, So I
kind of wish that we got some of that, but
overall is pretty after it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I think the whole fight was just it
was it was juicy, it was really really good and
just yet Sir Dunk just took a massive beating because yeah,
after getting stabbed in the hand, flailed to the face,
lanced to the gut, and I'm pretty sure like Arion
took his sword and like jabbed the side of it
into his helmet and put it in his like I again,
and he kept just like he managed to throw his
fucking sword into his thigh. Wicked that wicked throw. And
then he just kept like shanking him in certain parts too,
and he brought his sword down on his neck and
I thought that was over, but he like again he's
got the metal plate on his neck right which protected him.
But his chain mail. I guess chain mail helps with
it helps with like flail of mace attacks right, like
it didn't do anything against the stabs. The stabs were
just like.
Speaker 1: No, like probably slashing, I would imagine like if a
sword came at him, but like poking right through, Like yeah,
he got I mean the the lance right, it peers
right through his his chain mill that he that he
was wearing. I don't know if it covers everything, but yeah,
and like even some pokes in the back, like there
were like he's like running away and he was chasing him.
It was from eggs perspective looking down on the fight,
and he was just like getting jabbed in the back,
and I'm like, yeah, those those pokes are getting through.
For sure he was. He was getting fucked up. And
then he just like blacks out his eyes like wide
open as if he's just dead.
Speaker 2: On the ground.
Speaker 1: And then he uh he hears his old star and
Penny Tree and gets.
Speaker 2: Back up, And I like, for a Knight, that really
just you only get little tiny like tidbit flashbacks. You
get little moments, you don't really get anything, but like,
I really like this you know Penny Tree character, like
we saw okay, like he was obviously abusive at one
point when it comes to training Sir Dunk and such,
but just he seems to like there's a little bit
more fleshed out with this character that I like how
they're telling his story and these uh in these flashbacks
and so this whole sequence too, Like he's drunk, he's
singing doth racky, He's just absolutely bonkers. But like's just
how he screams and the name of the mother and
just decapitates this guy in the alley way comes out just.
Speaker 1: Like more than half cut. He is like like so hammered.
It just comes out, decapitates the guy, fucks up the
other dude just battle to death. Not even wearing flip flops.
He's like barefoot. It was a intense moment.
Speaker 2: Yeah, goes back to drink some more. But that whole
scene with with Dunk just kind of tailor behind him
and following him, and yeah, just have that motivation just
to kind of spruce or Dunk up to get back
up and fight the Aria in there. Yeah, it was crazy,
and I was thinking, Okay, well, Arian's like I yield,
but I'm gonna maybe he's gonna do some kind of
shit shady ship, you know, And so I'm glad that
we got that scene where Dunk just like lifts him up.
It's like tell them, He's like, yeah, I renounced my accusation.
That was mush he's.
Speaker 1: Doing the US agent thing. I thought he was going
to executehim with the shield felt the Winter Soldier, but
right ill like he was lifted up. I'm like, they're
not actually gonna kill this guy off, Like there's no
way he kills him in this tournament. But there was
another target, Aarian that that got murdered in the tournament.
But I don't know.
Speaker 2: The one more thing I want to shout out here,
like obviously, so like team Targerian was definitely like, you know,
you got uh Knights King's Guard is what they're called
King's Guard there, and you got the other guys that
are with them too, like you know, pretty cool, they
got unique armor. But then you go into Sir dunk
side each night looks just badass and Brathian man that
was fucking sweet. Is the alers on his helmet.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it looks like it looks like a Halo Online
lobby when everybody got there, like Spartan just like pimped
out with their different cameras or whatever. They're different schemes
and they're like later level unlocked. Their helmets just look crazy.
But yeah, I completely agree the King's Guard look, okay,
I do I agree with you. I prefer like the
Game of Thrones. Is that what you said? You said
you prefer the old ones, like the old armor of
the Kings, or did you prefer the new King's Guard? Look,
I can't remember. They're both cool.
Speaker 2: I guess they're both. Uh m.
Speaker 1: Maybe you didn't pick a side. Maybe I'm creative.
Speaker 2: I don't know if I really picked a side. But
it's funny because we have House the Dre again with
the King's Guard has different armor. And I didn't like
the Game of Thrones version because it's just well, it
was kind of lanister ish, right, I didn't like how
Lanister Askeet was. I think I like the House of
the Dragon King's Guard the most.
Speaker 1: Yeah that's fair.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the House of the Dragon Kings guards pretty sweet.
Speaker 1: Yeah, regardless, they look they look pretty sweet, but they do,
right of Sir, dunk side definitely was preferred by me.
Speaker 2: Mm hmm hm.
Speaker 1: But actually yeah, let's finish off our thoughts on the
flashbacks and then I guess with with uh, sir not
sir Arian what's his name, Arlon L. Pine Tree. Yeah,
I I I love that. Like I said, that scene
was probably the one that had like the biggest gas
for me, just for Rafe getting her throat slit, uh,
Sir Arlyn coming out pop off, and then and then
what follows is is like, yeah, just the montage of
Dunk following him and just like staying from Afar at first,
I assume Sir Arln would have like known right away
that he was following it, but I don't know. He
was pretty fucking hammered for a lot of those sequences.
Maybe he didn't really notice nobody was on his tail,
and I thought like Sir Dunk was interacting with interacting
with him at least at like at night around the campfire.
But then there's that scene when he's just like in
the shadows, all cold and hearing like the animal noises
as Sir Arlen's just passed out around the fire. But No,
I really liked that sequence. I liked just getting that
question answered. I guess like how they actually did meet
and how that went about. And yeah, no, I I
love a good Sir Arlend flashback. I was maybe wanting
to see his famous sword again in this episode. And
see if they pulled that thing out, but they kept
that sheath sheathed, Yeah they did.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I was half expecting to see the
Ireland pennetree, uh, you know, would log come out in
this episode, but he kept that he got he did
keep it sheathed. Uh. But other than that, I mean,
Raife was just yeah, just a questionable character, as I
already said. And uh, I think what other stuff in
the flashback there was that could really highlight uh.
Speaker 1: Pretty much just like the Rafe sequences right like they
were they were gonna escape the city and then Buddy
was like everybody's trying to leave the city double the price.
I thought Sir Duncan was gonna say, like you just
go like give her.
Speaker 2: I thought that too, go together.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what ended up happening was a lot more like
West Roast expectant, you know, just her her throken slip
right in front of him for some crazy trauma for Yeah,
but what could have been.
Speaker 2: The other thing too? And this was what I was
trying to nitpick as well, was I feel like the
show keeps dropping these key uh timeline notes and so
in this episode, yeah, yeah, Damon's rebellion, and so I
was looking into it. I was like, okay, well this
is this is separate from Raniera and Agon Visaras this
whole thing. This is different. This is I think just
below that because it's still like one hundred years after
House of the Dragon and one hundred years Thrones, right,
So I was trying to look up like family trees
and see where that fits into the into things, because
who sits on the iron throwne right now? So we
got what's his name macar makeuh and yep, that's what's
his brother's name again, Baylor and may Car. Yeah. So
their father is Darian the second Targarian. He is the
son of Agon, the fourth Targarian, and Agon the fourth
of these fucking names man egg On the fourth Targarian. Uh.
Remember it's one of the worst targarian Diane the dynasty
and the Fourth's father. I just wanted to ofw far
down the pipeline. It was the son of King Visaris
Targarian besaras our boy, Visarius the secondary.
Speaker 1: So which one is this? Which one?
Speaker 2: So he's the first no, no conversitian father was Prince Dan.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, pulling up the House of the Serious.
Speaker 2: By the way, Sarahs the Second was born the son
of his father, Prince Simon Jesus Christ Georgia R. Martin.
What the fuck man?
Speaker 1: He liked like five names. He's like, these are so cool?
Speaker 2: He did. Yeah, because like I look at the fun
out of the viewers this tree and it's like, I
don't know, but I do know that Baylor and may
Car's mother is a Martel that I can I can specify, okay,
mm hmm for what it's worth. But yeah, you know,
good flashback, good flashback.
Speaker 1: Good flashback. Indeed, I'm trying to think what else? Uh
do we just go to Baylor?
Speaker 2: Then? Yeah, let's go to mister b.
Speaker 1: Mister b Uh. This was the final gas moment that
I had in this episode. It's fitting because it comes
at the end of the episode. Uh, you know, everybody,
it's pretty happy. It didn't seem like we have major
losses at least, I mean, we didn't really see anyone.
Maybe maybe his whole team just got murked. But but
Baylor comes in and removes his helmet and he's looking
like I don't even know what he's looking like. He's
he's looking like he's missing something in his skull. Uh.
Pretty wild imagery there. And then uh, yeah this is
a big deal because this is the hand of the king, right,
like this is the next in line for the iron throne.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: Pretty crazy that he would have sided with Sir Duncan
you know? He's pretty confident because like King's guard can't
touch me. It's like, like, are you okay with that?
That seems pretty cheese ball. He gets called out and
it's like, yeah, no, it's fine, but yeah, clearly somebody
got him. What do you think about this? Were you
expecting this to happen? We're surprised you.
Speaker 2: I was expecting the only Targarian to die was going
to be that Darien one who is drunk. You know,
he walks in there, just bumped me on the head
and I'll fall down.
Speaker 1: I thought about him too, So I didn't see him
at all. I guess they show him at the very
again when they when they go to do their initial joust.
Speaker 2: That's true, they do, they do.
Speaker 1: But anyways, yes, so.
Speaker 2: I was just blown away. To be honest, I did
not see it coming because he's standing there. He walks
in so casually he's like, you know, yeah, we need
more good nights like you and so Dunk's like I
pledged to serve you kind of thing. I'm like, this
is cool. Yeah, Dunk's gonna get his uh, he's gonna
get a gig working for the king. Why not? This
is awesome And like, oh, let's just yeah, remove. I
feel like there's a meme and I can't remember it, Like, oh,
let's just take this off. Like was it bad? He's
like no, no, it's fine, it's fine. That's bad.
Speaker 1: It's like that scene breaking bad when Gus he like
walks out of like the room, but he's like half
his body. It's like, okay, how did he walk out
of the room. Like, let's be honest, I think he
would have died instantly. He's missing half his body.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, oh my brothers flail you know he gets
me with that. Yeah, Jesus, his head just cong caved
in in the back there. The repercussions of that are huge,
Like so far, like the king has no idea what's
going on really, So the King's gonna be like, yeah, well, this,
this this night was just protected a girl. Oh yeah,
and your son died because of it, and the other
grandson got the shik his hand got sliced and his
fingers off, and what the fuck's going on down here?
Speaker 1: Competition for just like a weekend, a fucking fourth of
July week West Ros where they're doing some some tournament
and half the bloodlines just gone, uh yeah, No, it's
gonna be crazy, especially that like Prince Yeah he's Prince Baylor. Yeah,
Prince Baylor, Like he was like the only one that
was kind of on Duncan's side. So obviously there's Arian
or Arion who's already super pissed off at Duncan. You
just got to ask his face beaten in by him,
his dad who was like protected of him, right, like
he was trying to run and save him my boy,
my boy when Duncan was fucking him up. He's gonna
be pissed because his brother just died because of Sir Duncan, right,
because of this whole situation, it's gonna be it's gonna
be intense, and I don't know, I don't know what's
gonna happen for Sir Dunk. I guess we got egg.
You know, he's gonna be our voice of reason for
for the side. But uh, he's still just a little
egg and his dad is going to be pretty upset.
Speaker 2: So mm hmmm hm. The other thing too, with Darien
no Arian surviving him, I just was falling back on
just you know, the teachings, the history that I know.
He gets eliminated by dragonfire, so this is not how
he meets his end, and.
Speaker 1: I didn't think about that in the episode.
Speaker 2: Actually, even though Sir Dunk got his ass handed to him,
I was holding on to hope, like, Okay, no, he's
gonna survive because and this is something I learned recently,
was that Brand of Tarth is a descendant of Sir Duncan.
Speaker 1: So Brian of Tarth.
Speaker 2: Remember Brand of Tarth, the Wite Lip, the big lady
who fell in love with Jamie Lanister.
Speaker 1: Oh, yes, Captain Fastma.
Speaker 2: That's right. That would have been a better uh better pick.
Speaker 1: Yes, I knew, I knew what you were talking about.
Speaker 2: Though.
Speaker 1: She's fantastic.
Speaker 2: Mm hmm.
Speaker 1: And sorry, who's she descended from? Or who she a
descendant of?
Speaker 2: Sir Dunk?
Speaker 1: Oh? Okay, there you go, honorable night.
Speaker 2: That's cool.
Speaker 1: And her that means he shoots some loads before he dies.
Speaker 2: Yes, he does shoot some. He shoots some for sure.
Speaker 1: Until that happens. We know he's safe. He's got some
plot armor.
Speaker 2: That's right. Absolutely. There's something else I wanted to mention too,
but I can't recall it. I'm just drowned. It will
come to me. I'm just still drowning in this family tree.
That's what I'm trying to figure out.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you keep going, you keep going on that. But we'll, we'll, we'll,
we'll jump into our our little predictions I guess for
for episode six now and just what's gonna happen because
of all this? Right with the I've already mentioned this
is a big, big deal, Tyfield. Do you think we're
going to possibly see the king himself? Like, is he
gonna fly in pissed off his brother's dead that's gonna
be the finale? Or no, we're not going to see
the king.
Speaker 2: M No, I don't think you'll see the king. I
think things are I mean, you always see a king
and a queen and all the other Game of Thrones
spinoffs and show as well, just Game of Thrones and
House the Dragon. I think the nice thing about this
is that it's so close to the chest, it's so
simple and what they've established, right, Yes, you've got You've
got Targarians in there, you got Brathians, you got these
noble houses. But it's just it's a high octane jousting tournament, right,
so you're going to have these houses appearing and whatnot.
And no, I think it's uh and I think it's
fitting to keep the king out of this. I don't
think you need him to come in and have some
divine intervention of sorts with with our characters, because I
feel like that would just kind of strip away the
weight and the consequence of our characters and what's going on.
I don't need to see him come in and look
at him, you know, his son make make Or and
his grandson and be like, you guys are idiots. Get
out of here. And you know, sir Dunk, here's ten
thousand gold, be on your way. And I don't want
any of that. I want to see because Sir Dunk,
he he came here with honorable attentions. He got himself
buried into the situation, so I want to see him
be able to dig himself out of the situation too.
And he's got a he's got a good team behind him.
Speaker 1: Yep.
Speaker 2: But yeah, it's just what the fallout is going to
be at this point, Like I I don't know, I
don't know. I think, okay, the well, the attention was
definitely focused on him because everything that was going on.
He got his claim renounced or he got his accusation renound,
which is huge. But now obviously with Baylor dying, that's
gonna take a lot of focus. And yeah, yeah, I
just I don't know. I don't see it being the King,
but I see someone you can't even get mad at
the brother, right because if he did do it, like
it's it's allowed, Like Maykor is the one that Yeah,
I'm assuming because that's what he said, but we don't
know for sure.
Speaker 1: But my old brother was.
Speaker 2: It's like, it's the same.
Speaker 1: We need this with Prince Baylor just half his head
missing and he's like, oh, my brother up to his
old winning games again, that's the son of a bitch.
I'll get him in the next round. Oh, that's actually
so funny.
Speaker 2: Similarly, it's the exact same.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I completely agree with you. I don't
think the King's coming in. I think it's gonna be
a big Prince Maykor pop off episode. I think he's
gonna be striking down the hand of God on Yeah,
it's gonna be it's gonna be one of those or
it's gonna be good.
Speaker 2: Grab that.
Speaker 1: Travis snipped that that's nice, but uh yeah, I mean
it's it's so interesting having Duncan in this world of
the Seven Kingdoms because I feel like I'm just so
used to like betrayal and like corruption and just just
like no actual honorable and like things going on. So
it's it's hard for me to like have hope that
there's that like Duncan's gonna be completely fine out of
this because like really really he was doing everything legally right.
You know, he got his team against his team. It
was Sir or Prince Arion that like started this whole thing.
It should have just been in like a one v
one match, but he was a pussy so he called
in his his Battle of the Seven, and uh that's
what Baylor had to participate in. And then he got
his head fucking bopped off. But who knows, maybe it
is gonna be Macor like pulling off like a like
a Lanister type situation that he'd like he did do that.
Actually he did do that, Like I did get my
brother and he and he actually, honestly, that is more
most likely situation. I don't know why I didn't really
think of that at first. I feel like I really
was unsure on who got him. Maybe I missed the
line when he when he said that about his brother,
But that just completely makes sense because he would have
been the next in line, right if his brother did die.
It's all fall in a place. It all makes sense now.
I kind of just convinced myself of what's gonna happen there.
So I don't know, maybe it's not gonna be a
big big deal. I am interested in the dialogue between
Duncan and Maycor. I imagine it'll happen because I like
Maykor was also like kind of annoyed with his son
right when he when he wasn't just gonna one we
one him like come on, like, don't be don't be
a coward, just do it. So maybe he has some
respect for Duncan. I don't even know. I have no
idea how it's gonna go, but I am I am
looking forward to that.
Speaker 2: It would make sense if there was that margin of
respect for for Sir Duncan. But yeah, I don't know.
I don't know how that's gonna fall out, to be honest.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what else, what do you think is gonna happen
with Arion and uh Sir Dunk Oho, I guess Egg
will be in this interaction?
Speaker 2: Ah?
Speaker 1: Yeah, tree? How many Eggons during that tree.
Speaker 2: Is like ten billion? I mean with with egg On,
I mean he becomes king. So I don't know how,
like if Sir Dunk takes him on to be squiring
for him after the fact, like after this, because obviously
he's he's alive and he's going to get better. But
I don't think this is me loosely saying this because
I don't know how the tree properly goes. But maycor
and Arion fit into things, because technically they're in line
for the throne, right, mayk Or will be first and
then Arion would be next, and then it would come
down to I guess the siblings. But Egg is I
know for sure, Egg becomes king. I can't remember how
he's that was in one of the family trees because
he marries someone and then they're related to someone else
and so forth. But so yeah, it's so confusing. Yeah,
Egg is just a highlight on the show for me.
I really really enjoy him, just his his energy and
his enthusiastic approach, like way like I feel like that
was the bad thing he was fucking giving it.
Speaker 1: That moment kind of made me chuckle because it was
just like all the music died and all the moments
where like the music died and it was just like
completely quiet. Oh I love those. It's just a sucker. I
feel like there, it's like a staple and like medieval
combat type type movies that like moments like like that
will happen, but it happened at the very beginning. Then
I think in that in that sequence too, just just
intensifies the moment. But yeah, it goes to him and
it's just like a really long drawn out like it's
a little screech uh. But no, it was great, great,
great delivery. But yeah, he's He's definitely a highlight. I
I think I've said it every episode, but just specifically
his chemistry between him and Dunk. I'd like the moment
when Dunk goes off and he's like, He's like, you
better be here when I come back. If you know,
if you steal any of my shit, I'm gonna call
the dogs on you. But yeah, it's wholesome interactions.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, oh for sure it is. Trying to think
what else?
Speaker 1: Do you think it's gonna be a cliffhanger like set
up something really obvious for like a season two, or
is you think it's gonna be kind of closed loop?
Like the whole the whole setting of the show feels
like it like it could just be a closed loop
because we're just here at the tournament right, like we've
been here basically the whole season. It's a good just
location for this show is to have this whole tournament sequence.
I guess I could have asked to like, do you
think the tournament is just over after this? Because some
royals have just been marked at the tournament grounds? Are
they gonna keep going? But I asked a couple of
questions there.
Speaker 2: Do I think the tournament's gonna close? Yes? I mean yeah,
the hand of the King got fucking dropped dead right,
next coming up? Yeah, the Olympics. No, I think the
event is as good as done. And then sorry, what
was your other question after that?
Speaker 1: Uh? Yeah, do you think it's gonna be like a
cliffhand grinding like like setting up for like a season
two right?
Speaker 2: Because I guess. I've seen articles saying season two is confirmed,
and other people have said that it's confirmed, and there's
other instances where I've seen that it's just a one
and done. I'm going to hold on to hope that
it's a one and done. And I say that because
I don't think that this should be something that goes
off of no source material unless the source material was
If the source material is completely told in the format
of season one, that's at point A to B, that's
that's your story, then that's fine. I love that. I
think it's great, but don't do a season two if
you don't have anything else to base that foundation on
or like to be to run with dragons. Yeah, dragons
are back. I think that if they did have let's say,
the novelization they used to inspire this show, if they
only use fifty percent of it for season one and
they're still fifty percent left to do a season two, boom,
let's do it. Let's run with it. I think that's fine,
But I think what people need to understand, and these
content creators, well, these showrunners and these creators in this industry,
the suits that they can't just let the money, you know,
give them wheels and run with it. Okay, the show's
going to make a ton of money. It's doing great,
it's getting the hits. It's like last week's episode was
the most all time number one favorite episode of the
Game of Thrones, all the episodes, right, it was super
peak hype and exciting. So don't ruin that, you know,
do your one season, your one and done limited runs.
It's fantastic. It ends on a high note. Boom, there
you go, and then let's get something else, you know,
take the success the team and the money that you've
made off of that show and do something else, like
the swirling rumors I'm seeing about egg on the Conqueror
and just going back to where it all started, right
with the big dragons and such, where he's got his
his sister, his sister wives and everything like that. Like,
I think that's where we got to go, that's where
we should we should get. Let's let's dive into some
of that world. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't. I wouldn't put it past them. I believe
we could. We could be there. Cool. Uh, you got
anything else?
Speaker 2: I don't tweezed out. I'm pretty juiced out myself.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Larry good ladies down through in a couple of
little uh there you go, longest episodes of the season
so far, I think on the reviews. UH, we'll be
back next week to round off this season. I'll just
say the season, not the series, uh until until further announced,
but yes, thanks for anyone that joined, and uh, until
next time, we will be there.
Speaker 2: Bye bye bye
