Starting point is 00:00:30 This episode is brought to you by Mewewew, introducing Mutein, the new feminine fragrance by the iconic fashion house. Mutine captures the youthful, unconventional essence of the Mewew-Mew Girl, brought to life by a gourmand, intimate and enveloping scent of wild strawberry and brown sugar accords. Mutein is not a statement, but a knowing glance, a sweet rebellion, lighthearted and laced with wit, a gesture made for oneself. Discover the new fragrance, Mutein, now available in Canada. as there's a drive in a deep left field by castellanos it will be oh man it's eight o'clock and so that'll make it a but brook but moving on we get to corliss and all and this furthered my opinion that is seen with adam was in fact like a father-son moment because now he's acknowledging all of his
Starting point is 00:01:30 bastards. He walks up to Adam, or sorry, Alan, and says, look, man, we both know. All right. Like, you got old Valerian blood? I've got old Valerian blood. But I don't know what your mom was all about. That was just a one night thing. Can you, can you tell me? Did your mom have blonde hair, silver hair? Can you tell me anything about your mom? I don't remember her. I don't recall. And by the way, Adam definitely recalls, or Alan, sorry, he definitely knows. He knows more than he's letting on. But he's almost, and we've seen this throughout the whole season. He's not, he doesn't want to be part of it.
Starting point is 00:02:08 He doesn't want to be there. He says in this moment, look, my brother was restless. He always wanted that. He always wanted the acknowledgement, the recognition, the life that came with it. I'm of Salton C. Leave me the fuck alone, dad. I'm good. So he's obviously going to play some kind of role.
Starting point is 00:02:25 I don't know with Corliss as Hand of the King. will he appoint Alan to take over as a sailmaster? What do you call that? In charge of all of the boats, like the fleet? Master of boats. Yeah, it's master of boats. Master of boats. So is he going to become the master of boats in Colis's stead?
Starting point is 00:02:42 He's definitely going to play a larger role because it points back to talking about the crown. Those who got it don't want it. Alan doesn't want it, which to me means he's going to be in charge of something very important. Because every single. Yeah, I mean, at the end of the day, he's going to make him air to drift bark. He's going to make sure that everything comes in. They are really hammering this home. Like, we get it.
Starting point is 00:03:05 We understand. The Stalton C thing, it started with Bela. Bala's in there talking about, I am fire and blood, not Salton C. You need Salton C. Next episode, we got some Salton C with Allen, but he doesn't want it. What do we know from John Snow? When you don't want it, you get it. So he's going to keep going.
Starting point is 00:03:21 I don't want it. We see him in the scenes from next week. He's got some really cool gear on, some nice armor. He's going to keep leveling up his position. He doesn't want anything to do with it. But he even in this conversation ends it with, I'm Salton C. That's all that matters, Dad. I'm Salton C.
Starting point is 00:03:38 Okay, we get it. We know you're going to be aired in Driftmark. We got it. Let's just do it already. Yeah. And it's even furthered by the fact that every single subplot of the season, because it's one storyline, every single family is mirroring every single other family. All of the family drama going on here
Starting point is 00:03:58 and the Targaryens is going on with the Valerians is going on with the High Towers is going on like boop, boop, poop, everyone's got family drama of who's the next one up? And they talk about in the after show, this is a generational show. You're seeing each generation trying to go through the steps of what their future is,
Starting point is 00:04:15 what their role is in their family, how they're going to take over, are they going to take over? Who's going to take over? So once again, we get it. Salt and C. You know, we have yet to hear anybody that's like like earth and mud or dirt and grass well it says now are they at let's not
Starting point is 00:04:32 get too crazy okay my bad my bad I'm just curious that there's like people start coming in they're like really earthy it's like a bunch of hippies like hey man that's they come up to alison the godswood it's like hey we're really earthy maybe it could be one of us wait a minute wait a minute but it turns out that like earth magic is the most powerful magic man we just don't like to use it for bad man we just grow shrooms out here there is a there is like a sect of of barbarians, if you will,
Starting point is 00:04:59 but like roam somewhere in between the riverlands and Kings Landing and they're mountain men. So they are men of the mountains. So maybe that's what you're
Starting point is 00:05:07 looking for. Maybe that's the the mountains and grass. Yep. Murd. Murd. Murd. Murd.
Starting point is 00:05:13 Dirt and mud. Murd. That's where my head's at. Mird. Anywho, you get this, this is where you get the cut off of Rana
Starting point is 00:05:22 and there's no payoff at all. You just get like a 30 second clip of Raina like walking away from the the caravan and going off into the hills to look at the same spot that we saw last week this is these they might have cut and pasted the same fucking scene in it easily I don't need this yeah it what do we get what do we get from it we just get jane aaron just looks over and's like gives her like a little look it's like okay i know where you're going all right okay sick go find it she's do it now go exactly if we're if everyone's
Starting point is 00:05:55 getting a goddamn dragon this episode give her hers or let her get torched by it one of the two she's either dragon rider or she's not the payoff now next episode when i'm now looking forward to dragon fights i don't care that she gets sheepstealer she should already be on sheepstealer to join the fight and maybe that's what it'll be you won't even see or get the dragon she'll just come out of nowhere that would be fine i'd better better that than giving us a 10 minute clip of her wandering through the fucking valley and finding a cave with a dragon in it but Yep. And we can jump right.
Starting point is 00:06:27 We already did this one with Allison and Rickard camping. See you later. But let's get the Jason Renera. And Jace is fuming that all these lowborns and mongrels are now able to ride dragons. Here's the thing. Jace. We've got people on dragons. What Jace is now concerned about, Jace brings up Sir Harwin Strong,
Starting point is 00:06:49 acknowledging finally, and he said something last season where he was like, am I a bastard? But this was the first, like, I know. that Harwin Strong's my dad, but now that he's seeing other bastard children able to ride dragons or that we're going to get more bastards coming in, he is now less important in his own mind because now he's on the same level as these randos, Ulf, he got some dickhead named Ulf who's drunk in a tavern for the past 10 years and drinks for free because he tells stories about he's a Targaryan bastard.
Starting point is 00:07:18 You're now in the same class as these guys. So now he's questioning his stance, his stature. Am I a low-born mongrel? Like, mom, if you put all these other people on dragons, you're pretty much saying, I'm the same as them. And I can't have that because I've been questioning myself my entire life. Why do I have brown hair? I know I have brown hair, you slut. Did you even think about it when you were betting him?
Starting point is 00:07:39 Like, no, she didn't. She was betting him. She wasn't thinking about her sons having brown hair because typically the Targaryen takes over anyway. So no, she probably wasn't worried about that whatsoever. I just love it because Jace's idea last week was, let's get some randos who might have Targaryen blood and we'll throw them up there you had no problem with that because they were highborn now you're like these lowborn scum who also have targaryen blood and maybe way more than sir darklin rip poor guy
Starting point is 00:08:06 you've got these people just coming in yeah he was fine he wanted to serve as queen so i'm gonna give him an rip but you're now mad about that because of yourself and you're just struggling with the fact that you're a bastard so these other bastards coming in they also get the ride dragons and by the way these dragons are cooler than mine mine's a little thing mine's this little vermax thing that's just like floating around and it's not that menacing even the people with the twins were like yeah you got your dragon over there okay i can't see it it's too far away it's too small he's cute he's cute i guess does he even spitfire who cares so now he's doing all of this and he's getting upset about it like dude big picture big picture you want to die you want vagar to come over here and kill all of us or do you want to throw
Starting point is 00:08:49 these these um these bastards on some dragons maybe they die from vagar and you don't have to maybe they take vagar out and then you can be the hero of the day nobody's nobody's doubting who you are you're still reneer's son so like get out of it dude yeah but you know maybe that's a uh a point to his immaturity they's still a kid and they're trying to point out that he's still insecure about things and he needs to hear from mommy like i'm still the error right like i get thrown when you die right mom which we haven't oh he even threw in agon's he even threw in agon's uh agon's dagger the prophecy he's like yeah what the prophecy was about it's like no dickhead did you even hear me when i was talking about it has nothing to do with these people you're also
Starting point is 00:09:31 not the prince that was promised so grow up he's just a little he's a little insecure guy that's all just a little insecure guy so he's big baby i'm i'm curious though is he going to revolt at some point is he going to make uh not revolt but is he going to try to take matters into his own hands and tried to because we've gotten a lot of that a lot of people need to prove themselves on this show for whatever reason there's a lot of ego and i i could see him being like i am a true born targary and watch this and it not going very well now rinera has no air or she does i mean she got the little one so has yeah she has agon and vassaris over in the veil right now but i'm confusing his i know um no it's funny too because obviously he flew off to the twins to talk to the phrase
Starting point is 00:10:17 and he had a good sit down with them. He performed really well. It worked out well for everybody. So what? He's going to be a little high and mighty about himself. I got to go prove myself. Yeah, I think that's what's going to happen. I think there's going to be some like battle off in the distance somewhere.
Starting point is 00:10:31 They can't figure out what to do. Maybe they sent in like Bela on Moon Dancer and she comes back and she's injured. And he goes, you know what? That's my wife to be. I'm going to stand up for my family and go out there. And then he dies because he decides to go do that on his own. So I could see him dying that way where he does. just thinks that he can go control something and he ends up dying.
Starting point is 00:10:50 I can see that as well. I'm curious. I like Jason's storyline. I like that character. I like the actor. I think he's done a nice job with it. So I want to see how that one pans out. But you get this, the propaganda war once again.
Starting point is 00:11:04 And Masaria is setting things in motion. They play past the note and the note ends up in Kings Landing. And the red cloaked lady once again is bopping around the king's guards. She's bopping around to people in the taverns, the brothels. whatever, and she's letting people know, hey, they're recruiting bastards, and there's a lot of you bastards here, and they're, they're calling for you guys, and they, who wants to ride a dragon? Who wants to ride a dragon? Who's up? You guys want to go? I would have been on the boat regardless, because they all went out of King's Landing. That's what I thought was
Starting point is 00:11:37 funny, is that you're spreading this rumor. How do you know that these are actual Targaryian bastards other than the fact that the majority has like silver hair and, you know, looks slightly Targaryen-ish, but I would have been on that fucking boat. Get me out of here. I'll go ahead. I would have been on that boat. And if I didn't have silver hair, I would have just mixed in with the crowd. I don't need to go claim a dragon.
Starting point is 00:11:56 I just need to get the hell out of Kings Landing because your blockade is keeping me from getting food. If I could sneak out of King's Landing with your help, I don't need to go claim a dragon. I can go to Dragonstone and eat at least for a couple of weeks until somebody decides to torch the place. So yeah, I'm going to hang out over here and get some food while I still can. That makes the most sense to me. I don't know why anybody wouldn't get on those boats.
Starting point is 00:12:18 You can get protein at home, or a protein latte at Tim's. No powders, no blenders, no shakers. Starting at 17 grams per medium latte, Tim's new protein lattes, protein without all the work, at participating restaurants in Canada.

Starting point is 00:13:03 It got Willa. They got my daughter. I need to find her. Willa! From acclaimed director, Paul Thomas Anderson. You can save that girl. On September 26th, experience what is being called the best movie of the year.
Starting point is 00:13:16 This is at the end of the line. Not for you. Leonardo DiCaprio, Sean Pan, Benicio del Toro, Tiana Taylor, Chase Infinity. Let's go! Here I'm coming. One battle after another.
Starting point is 00:13:26 Only Peter September 26th. Experienced in IMAX. You came high. I'm defecting to Dragonstone. I'm fucking out of here. I love that they go to Ulf in the tavern and he does the what so many,
Starting point is 00:13:43 so many people that I've had conversations. with in my life do when baseball comes up and they're like yeah you know i could have played could have made it but i got hurt my coach you know i was i could have been a d1 player but i you know this bum leg yeah exactly he pulls the the torn ACL and goes nah you know i could have been somebody but this old knee of mine it can't hang anymore and i love that too because he's like i can't ride on a dragon i've got a bum knee oh you're not doing anything you're just sitting on the back of the dragon If anything, that's a good work. Dragon does everything.
Starting point is 00:14:17 So I wouldn't worry about it. Amon's got one eye and he's fine. What are you worried about your bum knee? Get out of here. That's a good point. Yeah, if he can do it with one eye, you can do it with a bad leg. It's not like you're not running for the dragon. You sit.
Starting point is 00:14:29 Yeah. You idiot. You idiot. But they all start chanting, Ulf, the dragon lord, whatever. They give him the, I guess, the courage to be like, all right, I'm going to go. I'm going to roll the dice here. I'm going to go play with dragons.
Starting point is 00:14:42 but Hugh Hammer and I love Hugh Hammer and I was fucking right I thought he was going to get on Vermethor I was correct he is Vermethor's rider spoiler alert for the next 10 minutes but I love the setup of the scenes with Hugh Hammer who is quote unquote
Starting point is 00:15:01 small folk and his wife because it's painting the picture of the issues that everyone's going through in the castle how do I fit in what's my place being your own person, ego, all of these things, it's just showing you that this is a constant throughout. It doesn't matter if you're royalty, highborn, small folk, if you're a blacksmith, everyone still has this innate nature of I need to prove who I am. And it is interesting that the ones that do also do have Targaryen blood or potentially our bastard children, all that. So I like
Starting point is 00:15:35 that they set that up every scene and his wife is always like, dude, we can go over here and live and eat and we're fine and we don't need to be we don't need to be anybody and he's like no do you know what my name is i'm hugh fucking hammer if i don't do something cool with my life that's just an embarrassing name hugh hammer the the hunter gatherer that doesn't make sense hugh hammer the dragon rider bronze fury that's me i need to be that guy so i just i always like these scenes yeah that it seems great now again we didn't even get to see that his daughter unfortunately passed away we just get a reference to the fact that he couldn't keep his daughter alive I didn't even pick up on it see I missed that I must be running something down yeah
Starting point is 00:16:19 there's too much glossing over in weird parts my problem is that we see him and obviously we know that eventually he's going to be important and as soon as they start talking about dragon seeds and bastards and people that might be able to ride a dragon it's like okay you've been showing us Ulf and Hugh Hammer for a long time they're probably going to be successful Again, if it was Game of Thrones, real Game of Thrones, one of them probably would have died and it would have been like, oh, that's kind of funny. If Ulf died, I would have been like, all this was fucked and we'll get to that in a minute. But he goes into his backstory a little bit and he is, he's a stand-up guy. He's just trying to keep everybody alive.
Starting point is 00:16:56 He wants to do what's right by his family, but he can't stand around and do it anymore. I did a little digging into who he is, actually. He's Jaharis's daughter who was cast out of Kings Landing. jeharis's daughter is his mom oh i was like he's a he's not he's a girl no no no no jarris's daughter who was like ninth in line or whatever for the throne most of his children died except for the ones that gave birth to damon and psalis and raines but yeah so she got cast aside she went over to esos or somewhere across the narrow sea and became a brothel lady and then owns her own brothel and i guess he made his way back to the landing so good for him coming
Starting point is 00:17:37 all the way back. So he is a he's a direct descendant. So yeah, there wasn't a Targary and dad in his life that I know about. But that's what we got. And it was Princess Sarah for those people. Nice little easy name to remember. Sarah. It's probably spelled S-A-R-R-A-Y.
Starting point is 00:17:54 S-A-R-Y-A-H. I know how it's spelled. So is that how you think it's spelled? Give me a real guess. Oh, no. Okay, okay, okay. S-A-R-A-H. No. S-A-E-R-A. oh i should have went with that targary and it's all a e a damn it yeah it's all a damn it yeah it's all a i should have put my thinking cap on i rushed it i jumped the gun motherfucker god damn it i quit we get to runero back at dragonstone and all of the dragonkeepers are
Starting point is 00:18:28 like we're not part of this this is an abomination all of these everyone's really really bummed out that you got all these like heathens these small folk disgusting people are going to go up to the gods this is the last of the old magic of old valeria we're not going to be a party to this we're out of here see you and rinera just goes down there and gives them like a pregame speech more or less talk yeah yeah she's the coach here and she's like look guys some of you might die yeah you probably didn't want to live anyway like you're starving you're poor Like, is it really worth it? Even if you die, it's probably a blessing.
Starting point is 00:19:08 Let's be real. Look at all of you. You're disgusting. I love it. It's like, be somebody. The common theme this season and last season, especially on Twitter, is that House of the Dragon is never going to beat the Shrek allegations because there's so many, there's so many things that happen.
Starting point is 00:19:24 And everybody kept posting the, uh, the Lord Farquod. Some of you may die. Some of you may live. Yeah. It's exactly the same speech. It's just so funny. I love it. But yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:33 little pump-up speech and end it with thanks for coming if you die you tried you tried to figure that's where that's the Lord Clark we just watched it with Poppy and he says some of you may die and that's a risk I'm willing to take yeah exactly that's and that's exactly what we're doing it is and they go immediately into the dragon keep and she calls revermathore love the reveal I always love the that has not missed at all this season is the cinematography no the dragons are great they do a great job in portraying those scenes the size of them the mystique of them showing rinera like you know it's just his head and her standing in the the silhouette like that's such a cool shot but she's like all right who's up first you
Starting point is 00:20:20 bastards like who's going to do it and uh this might be mean but i wrote rocky from the mask steps up first yeah poor deformed bastard he comes out and he was like i'll do it because what do i have to lose. You know, his life hasn't been easy up in that point. He's living in Kings Landing to form, so he walks up. And look, we talked about this with Darklin. Look at Hugh Hammer.
Starting point is 00:20:45 Look at Adam. Those guys look at the part. Like, there's got, Ulf is the, he's the outlier here because you need to have one wacky guy. But everyone else looks like they should be on the back of a dragon. All of those bastards standing around, I'm like, you guys are fucked. None of you're going to get on this
Starting point is 00:21:01 dragon. There's two people, obviously, Obviously, we know the two we're looking at because of the season thus far. But at the same time, don't judge a book by its cover, but I'm judging all of you by your covers right now. And you're all going to die. But he walks up there, Verma4, Verma Thor scans the group. He's kind of bobbing around, looking around. He's like, nah, and action kills all of them. It's fucking incredible.
Starting point is 00:21:24 I loved this massacre. We need stuff like this. And I know it's funny to say, I loved this massacre. But this is something that we need. We need all of these people who showed up in scores, if you will, Masaria, going through just getting roasted and absolute chaos breaks out. And I just love that Reneer goes upstairs and she's just watching from her purse, just sitting up there checking it out. Hey, I'm going to keep watching this. Hey, I know you're telling me to walk away so I don't have to see these things.
Starting point is 00:21:52 I need to watch this because I'm putting these people to their death. So I got to take some responsibility here, whatever. I thought one, of course, I thought Ulf was going to die. he gets knocked off the platform immediately. He hits a tree branch. He falls down. He's fucked up. Who the hell knows what's going on?
Starting point is 00:22:09 Everybody scatters. And I love that they scatter because they shut the damn doors behind them so they couldn't run back in the Dragonstone. Why are you shutting them out? If this happens and they want to get away and go home, let them get away and go home. Why are you locking them in here? I think that you can't. I think you can't let him go back because then they start talking and people start finding out
Starting point is 00:22:29 And then they hear that it didn't go well, you know, they tried and it failed miserably. They don't know that people got on dragons at the end of this thing. I also think, take it for what it is. But we just wiped out about anywhere between, you know, like 20 and 40 bastards of the Targaryen line. Like, we're doing a lot of people a favor. There's a lot of dude Targaryans right now walking around.
Starting point is 00:22:53 Like, thanks, Reneira. He got rid of a big problem for me. I was thinking Searcy would be proud because of what she did after Robert died. She went after all the bastards in Kings Landing. That's what I mean. So like it's, it's almost homage. It's pre homage to Searcy. And it's, I think that that was a big part of it was the sacrificing of the bastards to find like the rightful Targaryens to ride dragons.
Starting point is 00:23:21 Like these two are of the blood quality, if you will. Right. To be part of what we're doing rather than, you know, if you want to go from Jason's approach, all these mongrels, like they can, anybody can just ride a dragon. It's like, no, we know that Hugh Hammer is a direct descendant. I would imagine Ulf has a similar trajectory from what he has claimed. He's also a closer descendant of Vesaris, right?
Starting point is 00:23:44 He's Vesaris's son. No, he's, uh, Vesaris and Damon. Harris, or support, no, he's, uh, their dad's name was Baylor. But direct descendant. Yeah, or bail on. So the other ones, we don't really know. what their bloodline was so again it's it's somehow weirdly keeping or upholding the honor of actually being a targaryen where all these other bastards weren't quite enough now they get torched or eaten
Starting point is 00:24:10 these two had enough in them so you take care of the bastard problem you got two guys that are worthy to do this whole thing and you get a really great scene a really really tremendous scene of just dragon massacre and i agree with you we need this and you get the funny i'm glad they don't have the same repeating scene of how people are getting these fucking dragons. Yeah, they didn't just line up one by one by one. They just left them all out there like, hey, if this dragon likes, after what I just saw with Adam and C-Smoke, apparently the dragon can just choose you. So we're going to put you all out there on the platform.
Starting point is 00:24:46 Maybe Vermethor will be like, hey, I like this guy. I thought that's what was going to happen to. I thought Vermethor was going to do like a little intimidating, kind of scanning the crowd. And then as he's coming back to Hugh Hammer, he's going to go down and be like, I choose you, buddy. and nobody else dies and then they all run away but instead we get a great massacre it was great i think it's kind of funny that the i guess convincing factor at the end of this for uh hugh hammer was i'm going to try to save this girl and i'm going to yell at this guy in english i'm not going to
Starting point is 00:25:15 talk to him in valerian i'm going to say hey i'm over here come on over and then i'm just going to scream in his face and he likes me he respects me now because i saved a woman come on I don't know this works. No, but I agree with you. I do love that we get two very different scenes with the way that Hugh Hammer claims Vermethor is very much Hugh Hammer and the way that Ulf claims Silver Wing is very much, Alf.
Starting point is 00:25:42 Yeah, he's ready to die and he's like, oh, hey, I got a dragon now. He stepped on his entire deposit of eggs. Yeah, he stepped in Silver Wing's batch of eggs. He crushed a couple of unborn babies. Yeah, damn it, yourself, you get clumsy bastard. Yeah. He was killed.
Starting point is 00:25:58 You killed. That could have been DeNaris's drag. The Targaryans might not have lost their lineage or the right to the crown if you didn't kill those dragons. Nice job, Dickhead. Good job, buddy. I mean, it was also, you knew, if you look back, like you knew Hugh Hammer of all people was going to get Barber Thor, like bronze fury.
Starting point is 00:26:18 Like, look at him. He's bronze. He's got the bronze beard. He's a blacksmith. Yeah. He's a blacksmith. Hammer. And Hammer and he gets out there and screams at the dragon that is Bronze Fury with Fury.
Starting point is 00:26:29 It's like, yeah, they make sense. And maybe that's what Vermethor needed is a man with a strong hand. Like this guy, this guy can handle me in my business. Yeah, me too, because you get fucking Hugh Hammer on the second biggest dragon in the realm. If we're to believe Hugh Hammer, that would be his grandfather's dragon because that was to Harris is dragon. So it makes kind of, it kind of makes sense. Yeah, you're right.
Starting point is 00:26:52 He's also Ulf's, I guess he's great grandpa. So there you go. That's also interesting. Their age doesn't make a lot of sense. Then Ulf looks a lot older. Interesting. But it does raise the question. And this one was kind of stuck in my head. You've now got Hugh Hammer, who seems honorable. War changes people. Dragons, I believe, will change people.
Starting point is 00:27:18 on the second largest dragon and the fiercest dragon in all of the route like fiercer than vagar second in size that's a lot of power for a guy that's been down on his luck for a long time has now just pretty much walked into the golden ticket or the bronze ticket if you will so when this all shakes out you better be loyal to riner because he could fuck a lot of things up for a lot of people if he so chooses so i'm curious if when the dust settles if that's ever going to be an issue or if he's always going to pledge fealty i i really don't know i feel like he you never say never for things like that but i think the way that he views agon amens the way that king's landing was he probably blames them for his the death of his daughter so yeah i think he's
Starting point is 00:28:07 going to pledge to rinerer pretty quickly and i don't think that's going to change no i know i don't think that's going to change out of the gate i'm saying once everything's settled and he still has this gigantic dragon, assuming he's alive, does he take a different path? You've got the second biggest dragon and the fiercest dragon. You can probably do what you want to do. I'm just curious about the, what the story of Hugh Hammer is going to be, but he doesn't strike me as he would do that. Ulf, on the other hand, I feel like we'd get drunk with power and drunk.
Starting point is 00:28:35 I, yeah, I agree, but I think that with Silver Wing, I don't know, Silver Wing's a bad motherfucker too. And I think that it's really funny and very Ulf, when they show him flying, like, you get the scene or the council. and Amos talking and you get fucking dragon. I think so two things from that. One, during that council meeting, we finally hear that Darren's dragon is finally taken flight,
Starting point is 00:28:58 which we do see in the clip for next week. It looks like there's a purple dragon that would be Darren's dragon. So maybe we meet Darren next week. That would be fun. New guy coming into the fold. Love that. But do you think that Ulf was told by Renira, hey, take Silver Wing and go fly over Kings Landing and then come back and see what
Starting point is 00:29:16 happens or is he just drunk and got on the back of the dragon and silver way just took him out and then they just went for a little joy ride no i think that that was part of the plan that's what i gather i think that they shoot it the way they do to make you think like jesus christ he just flew at king's landing on a brand new dragon that they desperately need and vagar is waiting and he's going to die and lose one of the tougher dragons out there that we've been waiting for and it's going to be lost in an instant because he wants to go and play hero because he's drunk i don't even think he was playing hero but to show i thought he was going to fly over the tavern look i got here again i thought he was going to fly over the tavern to be like hey guys with amex platinum access to exclusive

Visit your local Volvo retailer or go to explore Volvo, like I did it I told you I was this guy like I am that guy that's what yeah that's a much better way to put it and but him flying back to dragonstone and you get amend in chase with vagar then I was like okay this was a move because riner is standing in wait already with cyrax and you've got vermithor right behind her I'm curious why sea smoke wasn't present
Starting point is 00:32:04 I thought that was weird if you've got that dragon too to just show that all right here's the four dragons because silver wing comes up with olf and lands on the top of the castle and they're all like standing there looking and it's the first time that amand has been i don't know if it's fearful or if he's recognizing oh shit like i think it's bad yeah well i think the funny thing to take away from this is apparently vagar does know the word no because he says no to vagar and he says hey let's go back let's flee he tried to do that before it didn't work out too well but vagar does know if you tell her to flee she'll go back apparently and must alert that she feel oh maybe it's it's a thing where it's like if she
Starting point is 00:32:45 realizes she can't win the fight whereas you know before she's like i can handle this one but now she sees three dragons she's like no you're okay let's go yeah maybe not maybe i don't get involved in this one but yeah it was a it was a tough tough scene at the end i like that i like vrera standing there stand pat dragons just yelling back at vagar i saw somebody tweet out you know those dragons were just screaming some horrific shit at vagar for killing all that friends yeah we're going to fuck you up man you old bitch you old bitch turn around yeah you better run oh we would have kicked her and then they're going to go back to their cave and be like we would have fucked her up right guys hell yeah she wouldn't even scratched us yeah drag five wing five
Starting point is 00:33:29 uh boy but uh let's get to some uh questions here we got a few in here you're the question master oh wow i get to be you got it forget when we're remote i get to question master it up all right return of the question master wow we got a bunch i love that these are picking up love the people oh yeah up first from oh don't you for president see smoke should have been that last scene too damn right you are damn right see smoke should have been there i don't i don't understand why but uh let's go to ryan stoneman guy that tried to escape the dragon's den and found a dragon think he's trouble i hold i've got i've got layers to this one so this is ryan long time listener friend of the show
Starting point is 00:34:22 doesn't like our tamara talk about o c but i love this seems to me like ryan might have jumped in recently which i appreciate and if i'm wrong tell me ryan but that's olf and he could be trouble just because he's an idiot he might do something dumb because that's It's probably the last guy out of those bastards that really needed a dragon. He doesn't really seem to know he's doing. So, yeah, Ryan, he might be trouble. That might come back to bite them at some point. No pun intended.
Starting point is 00:34:53 Ooh, I like this a lot from Emma Elizabeth 6. Which dragon do you want? Which dragon and why shoots? Uh, Karaxes. Why? because I I respect well now I want Karaxies because he is one of like
Starting point is 00:35:15 three dragons who's actually seen battle so he's good he's got that he's got that long ass neck I like a little goofy boy and he makes a funny little whistle yeah I like a little funny little whistle no he's like he's got a little deviated septum so yeah I like him okay I'm going with I mean I feel like cannibal dragon is like the cop out answer sir just because like who wouldn't want to be we haven't seen it rather um i like vermithor and i like vermithor before i knew vermithor was the biggest second biggest just because the name is sick like i'm a big name guy with these dragons like caraxi's great name so i agree
Starting point is 00:35:53 craxies is probably like my number two vermithor sound sick silver wing sounds like a super hero so i like silver wing as well um the other ones like what uh sunfire and and dream fire is Helena's, is that right? Yes, Dreamfire. But, yeah, I think I would go with either Vermethore or Cannibal Dragon. But if I had to pick Vermethore. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:21 Let's move on to Daria underscore PNG was Jace being a brat, or did he have a point? I mean, he has a point in the sense that anybody getting on the back of a dragon makes Targaryens not that great anymore. So again, I mean, we can point to last week where he even pointed out, is it Targaryen propaganda? So now you can't be upset that it may have been Targaryen propaganda. So I don't really understand where he's coming from. I'm going to say he's being a brat.
Starting point is 00:36:56 Good point. I agree. let's go to do two more I like this interesting from T raw are they worrying too much about visuals and not enough about the plot I think because it's such a short story in the books they're trying to draw it out and make as much content as possible they could probably have done this entire thing in two seasons
Starting point is 00:37:24 let's be honest do 10 episodes a season get through everything but yeah I think they are trying to draw it out a little bit too much for what I like I agree I think that they I don't know if they're worrying too much about visuals just because when the visuals hit they are so cool to see it all looks so real and I don't think they're doing too much with that but yeah I think that it's probably exactly what you just said we have to fill this stuff so let's get some boring plot lines we need to fill time so I don't think they're worried too much about the visuals because I can't get enough of cool dragon scenes, but yes, I think that they could have been a little bit more selective on the plot lines. How about that?
Starting point is 00:38:07 Yeah, I agree with that. And the last one from Meg Palmer 18. Am I the only one ready to see Sir Insalot, aka Cole, get roasted come last episode? I think we've all been ready for this one. Well, I mean, we're marked safe from a Kristen Cole episode for two weeks in a row now. We really haven't gotten anything out of the last two weeks. So I'm happy about that. I would get your hopes up. I don't think he's going to die next episode because if he was going to die, I think they would have given him screen time the last two episodes and then built it up for his final death.
Starting point is 00:38:39 I think he's going to be stuck around. I don't think he's getting roasted next week. I, again, I told you my whole everything in me just wants him to get the courage finally and ride out. And I, fuck the dragons. I don't care anymore. We're going into our annihilation anyway. That's what he says in like the scenes from next week. So who cares?
Starting point is 00:39:00 Throw caution to the wind. And before he even gets to the battlefield, just whew and just, and don't even make it a thing. He just gets torched with like 40 other dudes and you just move on. And he's just irrelevant entirely. Nah, they're not going to do it.
Starting point is 00:39:14 They're going to make it last. They're going to give us the satisfaction of him dying. Maybe he gets burnt up and Jace comes over and puts a dagger in him or Damon comes over and puts a dagger in him or Damon comes over and puts a dagger and I'm to finally finish them off they're going to give them some some last final words for sure you're seeing a fall in the the lake that alison is currently hanging out in and then they just move with the the earth and mud people the dirt and the mountain men the mountain and then they go and then he goes on a boat full of cinnamon and oranges to essos or whatever the
Starting point is 00:39:47 oh that would be nice circle no it wouldn't kill him kill him but uh yeah looking for it. Look, no matter how you felt about the last three episodes or this season as a whole, you know next week is going to be awesome. Thrilled to see some dragon fights, some war, some of the good shit. And you know, since it's been kind of ho-hum the last few weeks, they're going to end it with everything they got. So it's going to be good. Really looking forward to the finale. Overall, I've enjoyed the season. And, you know, I know people have said certain things, but I've loved it. I'm okay with slow. I just, I just want this show beyond. Yeah, I just want to be on. Yeah, I just wanted to be able to come back next year and not take too long to get back.
Starting point is 00:40:28 I'm curious when we're going to get some kind of announcement as to when we can expect anything. Yeah. When can we expect an announcement even? You know what I'm saying?
