Hey, My Mom's Basement listeners. You can find our episodes on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or YouTube, and Prime members can listen ad-free on Amazon Music. Thank you. Hello and welcome back to My Mom's Basement Presents Game of Stools Presents House of the Dragon Recaps. This is going to be our final House of the Dragon recap for Season 1. And it is a shame because this show has been so much fun to recap, dress up for, and all that jazz. But guys, how are we? That was fucked up, man. I could talk about five different parts of the episode.

There was a lot of fucked up shit. I could talk about a goddamn watching an unborn child be born. I don't know how that all works. I could talk about a child getting eaten by a dragon. Basically, everything in between. What was more fucked up, the beginning or the end? Which one hit you harder?

The beginning. The beginning, yeah. I had to stop watching. My wife was narrating it to me. She's like, alright, it's done now. I was like, oh, thanks, honey. I don't stop watching. My wife was narrating it to me. She's like, all right, it's done now. I was like, oh, thanks, honey. I don't like pulling the gizzard out on Thanksgiving. That was fucking a bit much.

That was – I dare say gratuitous. I don't know if we needed it. HBO usually – I don't know. When the fifth time they put the camera back on the dead baby, I was like, all right, okay, wow, they really showed it. Like, they showed her fucking yoinking that thing out like she was trying to, like, open the pickle jar, and that was good enough. And then they showed it again and again, and then she was putting the paper towels on it. It was like, Jesus Christ, forget it. Watching the head come out, hit the ground,

all of that. Oh my God. The, the, the shot of just the leg on moving like that. That was actually the most fucked up part. Cause I actually, for a second,

I was like, maybe, maybe, you know, we're going to all of a sudden cry and it's okay. And then you just saw like the little baby foot. It was like, Holy shit.

We're really, we're really doing dead babies. Huh? It's like the last thing to check off the box we've done incest we've done bestiality we've done this we've done that now just do a little dead baby hbo you cannot show that in a previously on either like you can't just throw the day baby back because like that's in their fucking repertoire now like oh remember the dead baby oh Oh, you don't. Boom. In your face. Don't need that anymore. Yeah, whenever they would show. You know, watching R.I.P. to my dog, Alex, just getting fucking thrashed apart was not exactly the most easy thing to watch either. So really just bookending it with some fucked up stuff.

Were you guys happy with the finale, though? Yes. Yeah, I was. bookending it with some fucked up stuff a new vagar was happy with the finale though yes yeah i was i i was expecting more of a battle scene at some point because people kept saying the battle of storms end i don't know if this was that or not but when everyone was saying that i was like all right we're gonna get some actual dragons fighting not the fucking tiny one versus the 40 40 times size one. That was, that was, you can get me riled up for anything. If you just tell me it's awesome enough, that is true to storms end because I had a thousand people that had read the book.

Tell me all week. Hey, storms end is awesome. Wait till we get the storms out. Oh my God. The finale is going to be storms. And I didn't know what the fuck they were talking about all the time. But as soon as they said storms end in this episode,

I was like, Oh my God, here we go here we go we're going to storms end the rain all of it i love it um we should get into it though there's a lot to get into we see a map of the realm to kick things off really cool map of the realm that gets even cooler later on when they light all the candles underneath it it was like medieval fucking led lights that thing was awesome yeah and luke is just like go ahead is that is that supposed to be the same table that later stannis has when he's at dragon stone and did he just not know

how to turn it on i think yeah he didn't flip the switch yeah he just he didn't know it was underneath there dude that thing is awesome and i know they're gonna make some sort of replicas that you can buy i hope they do and i'll fucking it. I want that to be like my desk and I'll just have, that's going to be in man caves everywhere. Yeah. Yeah. I have the Westeros map right there. My buddy,

Palladino, his sister has them all. I'm going to put the link up on Twitter for anyone who wants it. Awesome map of Westeros, but yeah, a full blown fucking table. We got to get the, for like the HQ,

the very least. Throw in the KFC radio studio. You guys have enough stuff in there. Season two of Game of Stools will all be around the table. We'll have a layout of Barstool HQ and you put a fucking fire in there

like, pardon my take, lights off and KFC Radio pops off and my mom's basement and everything will be all lit up. I love that. The big three. Pardon my take, KFC Radio, my mom's basement. When people think Barstool, I think that. Goddamn right. Luke doesn't want to give up.

Go ahead. No, no, no, no. I was just going to say, do we think that that's the same? It's the same map all those years later and they've updated it? Or do we think that they changed it out over the years? Because I feel like a lot of shit changes. But I mean, a lot of the shit on there is obviously the same hundreds of years later. What do we think?

I think it's the same. i i think it is because ever since they've been at dragonstone i've been waiting for them to show that map and they finally brought it in it's like because they reference it in game of thrones where that's what the targaryens would like work on and like plan shit out on so i'll tell you what i think i was waiting for your goddamn blonde bangs are just so fucking ridiculous that's what i think you just look you look you look like uh king hippo from fucking uh punch out i don't think it almost like simple jack if we're being honest jack and king hippo had a baby and that's damn it. I learned a hard lesson this week from my costume. I threw out my sea snake dreads.

I was like, ah, I'm not going to need these anymore. And then homeboy came back fucking strong. Came back with a vengeance. Like, we run that now. And I was like, fuck, I need my dreadlock fucking, I need my dreadlock wig. Where's it at? Never throw it. Reorder on Amazon.

Never. Yeah. We start with Luke. He doesn't want to be Lord of the Tides. He's like, oh my God, what if Corlys dies? Rhaenyra giving a good pep talk though. And then Rhaenys comes in and requests an audience with Rhaenyra and Daemon.

I love the way they say that. I request an audience with so-and-so and so-and-so. She informs them that Viserys is dead. Aegon has been made the king. And Daemon thinks that Viserys was slayed right away. He's skeptical of the death. Who saw the death? Who was there for it?

Rhaenys says, listen, I saw everything. It wasn't my war to start. I wasn't going to be in on that. I'm going to go off to my own fucking island when we're done with this and as soon as she tells rainier all this stressful information that's when the baby starts coming and immediately i said i was like it doesn't look like she's fully nine months pregnant so is this going to be a bad scene it was a bad scene it was the worst scene it was maybe the worst scene in in this season. Was it worse than the original birthing scene in the pilot? No, I think you could call this the worst scene of the series.

If you wanted to call this the worst scene in TV history, I think I'd be on board with you. I mean, this was like just gruesome shot after gruesome shot of a woman in agony pulling a dead baby out of her graphically. I mean – How about the cries before it too when they're when they're planning the meeting damon immediately goes to work with his brother yeah dude that was great to tie it to like last episode when i so the the the dragon scene

during the coronation last week i thought was you know pretty. Kind of left me confused as to why she didn't just light them up. Then later that week, I find out that that was not written by George R.R. Martin. That's not in the books, and that was just done by the HBO showrunners, which then really left a sour taste in my mouth because I was like,

well, now the confusion is just proven to be fan service. If George R.R. Martin does some shit that leaves me confused, I'm like – I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. You know, usually he knows what he's doing here. So I thought it was kind of strange that she wouldn't just jacarys those motherfuckers and be done with Game of Thrones. Then you find out that it's just a couple of jamoke you know tv writers who decided to do that and i was i started to get a little nervous because i was like this really didn't make much sense to me and now and now it feels even worse and this whole like this war is

not mine thing like it's gonna fucking be bitch so i just don't like you're either you're either not involved at all and you don't fucking throw a dragon head through the through the middle of the coronation and kill a bunch of civilians and and you know pretty much declare what side you're on if you're not involved in the war you know so that whole thing especially because later on corliss says like hey let's not get involved in this war let's go be grandparents she's like but we have to think about the children that's what i'm saying like you could have prevented it she's absolutely right as long as as long as her her kids are out there like agon and them are going to come to try to kill them so she's gonna do whatever she needs to do to protect her kids well that probably should

have just been poof and this thing before it starts So no matter how you cut it, that's going to be one of those HBO, Game of Thrones plot holes that I just don't think we can avoid. But, like, at least when she comes back, she kind of, you know, pleads the case of, like, if she came in and she was all gung-ho, let's go do it, then it really wouldn't make sense. But at least she did address it and say hey that's you know that i'm not gonna throw the first punch or whatever but it's like okay you're gonna have to fight the you're gonna throw the second punch so what the fuck but uh but that was it it at least addressed

it for me and i was able to like all right i'll just suspend disbelief and we'll keep it moving here i i feel like raina sees a lot of herself in renera that's why she likes her so much like those they like do like pause on those looks that she gives her right and i feel like Rhaenys sees a lot of herself in Rhaenyra. That's why she likes her so much. Like those, they like do like pause on those looks that she gives her. Right. And I feel like she's like, that's the way I would handle it. Or I liked the way you're doing that. And I do think Rhaenyra would have done this.

That's all Rhaenyra's been doing this whole time is she's just been pushing this to future Rhaenyra's problems. And then her fucking kid got eaten by the biggest dragon I've ever seen. And now we have a fucking war in our hands. So it is kind of like, I do think that they, that's two of their fatal flaws and the fucking Otto H tower is the only dude's like oh you guys don't want the throne i'm just gonna take it and give it to my fucking grandson and that's kind of how

you win these things it seems is the people who want it whether it's cersei or him or anyone else i i feel like uh queen renera and corliss were like kind of waiting to see how, what the princess was going to do, like, you know, should we back this chick? And like, let's see how she handles this. And it's all well and good, but not like on the verge of fucking war, you know what I mean? It was like, it was almost

like a test. It was like, we're going to wait and see how you handle this, like a parent to their son or kid, to be like, let's let them walk on their own and see how you handle this like a parent to their son or a kid to be like let's let let's let them walk on their own and see how they handle it and it's like well we're gonna have to make a decision here and like now's not the time for that bullshit so if you were gonna ride with them like let's fucking let's go man no more time for shit can i say this much about reina so i mean like you said she kind of just she should have just drew caris the fuck out of them she was wearing the

fucking it was like the alternates, like the road alternate jersey. Yeah, she was badass. She's fucking sexy, man. I'm sorry. Dude, she has like some real Martha Stewart vibes about her. Yeah. I tweeted that last week. You did, you did, and I was so happy you did it, because I've been saying that for

weeks, but I've never tweeted or anything, and I'm like, and you tweet, I go, yes, that's exactly who it is, and she kind of looks like her if you look at her from the right angle and when martha stewart had that thirst trap that was going around the twitter damn martha and you know martha's giving you a good meal in the morning too you know she's giving you a good meal in the morning oh i love her i love them i love them both keep your dragon with a bonk in the chat right now find out what bonk is in uh valerian yeah uh jason lucas sparring on the beach they are called up to go see their mother and she catches him up on what's going on

tells jace he is now the heir to whatever she has left and they she at this point doesn't send him out yet right doesn't send him out on the dragons yet but it's just like hey go tell everyone don't fucking do anything while i'm in bed and he does go down and tell damon that right away damon isn't really having it he's like okay you come out here outside with me let your uncle fucking damon show you how you deal with the king's guard you know and he brings the king's guard guys out there he's like you pledge to the queen or you die like those are your two options i'll give you a nice death. He's like, you pledge to the queen or you die. Like, those are your two options. I'll give you a nice death, a quick death, or you could pledge to the queen. It was a great scene.

I loved that scene. The crazy uncle is so true. Uncle Tom took me out back and gave me some moonshine and a cigar. I don't know what he's doing. You know what I mean? That was as crazy uncle as it gets. I don't think in the history of Game of Thrones, out of all the sniveling little fucks,

I guess Lord of Aaron or whatever, he used to suck on his mom's tits. He's kind of like the number one least intimidating guy in all Game of Thrones. He froze, but he was going to say Luke for sure, right? Those guys look like they belong on Modern Family They're like Kids on TV

And then I thought my guy was going to have a moment Towards the end there And then he got obliterated So no that didn't happen He just poked the bear The biggest bear that's ever existed that breathes fire I'm happy you said that Kev Because I wrote in the notes at some point

I was like I feel like Luke and jace kind of suck but they're like not like like if they invited you over the house for nintendo 64 you have a sleepover and they're fucking dragon so it'd be awesome but for war i'm like these guys are lucky they're big guy when he was talking to to his mom he was like dude i don't want any of this and i can't even get on a boat like i would be the same way i'd be like listen bloodlines and thrones like god bless but i like to fucking yeah play nintendo 64 i'm not i'm not cut cut out for this shit so self-awareness is key luke uh couch what's their are they targaryens luke couch targaryen is his name. Kevin Couch Clancy. That guy just wants to go inside. You sit on the Iron Throne. I will sit

on the microfiber couch. How about that? The birthing scene happens here. We've talked enough about it. They have a funeral for the baby and Eric or Eric, one of the two, I looked it up. Eric, thank you. Appreciate guys that's he is not evil which is interesting Eric comes down and presents her the crown of King Viserys her father awesome

gift I said immediately that's got to shoot him right up the rankings of Kingsguard members like oh you're the guy now you bring me the crown and just an amazing like chills worthy scene when Damon puts the crown on her head and everyone kneels to her in the crowd. Although Reynos did not, that was like interesting, right? Yeah.

Notice that. Yeah. I know that. I thought they were just slow playing it. They were going to cut back, but no, I, I,

I'm guessing that's the one she's undecided where she still wants to talk to Corliss first, but I don't know between that. And then like later when we tell Corliss, uh, Damon killed your brother. I have a feeling that's a little soft. That's good. They're going to get at each other's throats at some point. By the way, do you think, uh, I guess the crown is just like one size fits all, huh?

Imagine like, you know, you put it on her head and it falls down her neck, like her head's too tiny for it. It's just huge. You have some eight and three-eighths monster head of a king, and he's got to pass his crown on to a little boy. I wonder if this is the second one. This is the one that Viserys, when his head just got super small. Or maybe there's a mace who like

opens up your closet he's like small medium large like okay you got like a young girl queen here you go let's put this one on well they definitely have that because they gave agon like the dope one from agon the conqueror they're just like oh we just have this around if you guys want to wear this i was i'd rock that all day that thing's badass they they can't be in the same room bowling balls yeah like like when you go to a bowling ball yeah there you go the different sizes yeah they put tape on the inside of the crown just to make it you know yeah squeeze a little bit tighter on her head also she rides a dragon with it on later and i was like she's better you better be fucking careful like yeah

is that magic or is that just television like we're not supposed to care like they're they can just fucking hold on and that's okay yeah that's the thing whatever i i was i was doing the same thing i was like i was like he's uh who is it luke or whatever i'm like he's way too high wouldn't be able to breathe i'm like oh he's on a fucking dragon don't worry about if you can like breathe in the atmosphere because he's too high in the world. I'm with you, Kev, on that. Also, back in the, I think, last season, KFC and I, in our Mets podcast, Kevin gave up extra inning games, and I gave up watching West Coast games. I'm like, we're done with it.

He would cover for me. I'd cover for him. I am done with childbirth in this show. So, for now on, you guys will tell me what happens. I'm calling dibs on no more childbirth because I know they're going to fucking show some more shit and they've already crossed the line. Now I don't know what they might start eating the fucking things for all I know.

I don't know what George R.R. Martin has up his sleeve next. To all births, dragon childbirth, human childbirth, animal childbirth, I am out. Allison giving birth was the most successful birth of the season, and they just held her down and ripped it out of her, didn't they?

And then we had a woman who just fucking set herself on fire, and then we had a dead bait. So enough HBO. Done. Enough. Team Black looks to Queen Rhaenyra, and I do say Queen with a capital Q because she is my queen, for guidance, and they light up the table.

It's awesome. There's talk of Baratheons. There's talk of Starks, Lannisters, Tulli. They even mentioned Lord Grover, which made me giggle, picturing Grover from Sesame Street in medieval armor. And Lord Corvus. That's who it's named after, actually. There's an Elmo, too.

There's an Elmo. Yeah, there's an Elmo and a Grover. That was just George R.R. Martin being like, I'm just going to fuck around today. Yeah. This went around. There's an Elmo too There's an Elmo and a Grover That was just George RR Martin being like I'm just going to fuck around today This went around Twitter I'm pretty sure it's an Elmo George was watching his grandkids that day When he wrote those pages of the books

He's like I fucking love the Grover He hits a Dracarys and he goes that's St. Elmo's fire bitches Elmo told me There's a fucking Kermit too George is just fucking around now it's all the grover kermit uh so i would love a transition where like just once a season we get a muppet well it's elmo uh is grover's son is elmo and then i don't know when kermit comes out of here fucking not even trying to hide it no that's awesome uh they they talk about the

the sides though in this scene they talk about team black team green who has the most dragons who has the most uh you know firepower in terms of their firepower and i believe the count is 13 to 4 in dragons and there's like six unclaimed dragons they also mention the names i thought moon dancer is like the coolest dragon name of all time. I was confused by that, though, because it sounded like he was kind of counting like draft picks. He had like some unhatched eggs and some unclaimed dragons. So there's just dragons that are just chilling.

Like they just fly around and nobody rides them at all, and they just do dragon things all day? So Seasmoke was the brother who fake died. I already forget his name. That was his. Laris. Oh, right. Okay.

Laenor? Laenor. Laenor, yeah. So Laenor's dragon is up for grabs. No one's claimed it yet. There's also two others that they mentioned. Maybe three. But Seasmoke was the one that we've seen before. It's fought in a war.

People are going to be rushing to that one. Daemon's wife was a rider, right? So that's one dragon. The gay guy's another dragon. So I thought they were just from birth. They're just riding around doing dragon stuff with their friends just like hanging out with our friends yeah there needs to be that would be my dragon name

would be uh uh what's his name shit i'm blanking hoodwrencher with my friends yeah was that terrio no terrio yeah my dragon would be terrio yeah terrio the like fire flame terrio or some shit but so like if you have all these dragons but they're not like yours then you know can you really count them in your war because they did get a dragon stolen already i was gonna say well first of all well one dragon uh you know i i don't want to speak ill of the dead you kind of suck as a dragon dude first of all you were the size of like a bald eagle yeah like you're not even that big like i know that uh vagar is like the biggest but also, when you just think about how big he looked compared to Luke, he just wasn't that big of a dragon.

So, you know. Vermithor, Cannibal, Seasmoke, Moondancer. Those are all the unclaimed dragons. I'd probably roll with Cannibal. Letarian is Letarian Milton was the hood rat shit with my friends. Letarian is a fucking dragon.

I was thinking of Letarian Milton was the hood rat shit with my friends. Letarian is a fucking dragon game. I was picking up stereo. Yeah. Letarian actually sounds like Valerian. Yeah. Cannibal is a cannibalistic dragon. The high council just said, uh, the cannibal is a cannibalistic dragon. So named well. No duh.

Yeah. That sounds awesome. Yeah. We get an awesome scene in this moment too where otto goes and meets with damon on the same place that we saw a meeting early on in the season on that little wall and rainiera flies in on her dragon he's like i'm only giving this uh message to rainiera where is she she flies in like a badass with the crown on and otto offers some terms he's like we'll give you ownership of this and this,

and your sons will have this, and they get to have cups and shields, blah, blah, blah, if you acknowledge Aegon as the king. And I think Daemon goes, I would rather fucking feed my sons to their dragons than do anything for that cunt of a king. I was like, oh, he's called the king a cunt. That was pretty sick.

And then Rhaenyra grabs the hand of the kingpin and launches it just launches it it was awesome yeah big team black uh like bully vibes like you're not gonna fucking push us down we're getting right back up we're throwing your hand to the pin thing over auto then gives reynera a note from allison it was a page of that book they loved or whatever he's like don, don't forget. You used to love each other. Everyone draws their swords. Dragon starts to freak out. Rhaenyra says King's Landing will have an answer tomorrow. On the morrow, as she says.

Throwing an old Dr. Seuss page at someone? What the fuck was that? Get the fuck out. Green egg? Yeah, he eats green eggs. I don't give a fuck. We're talking war right now. We're talking kids.

We're talking succession. You took my throne. Fuck, it's like the 50 Cent don't give a fuck. We're talking war right now. We're talking kids. We're talking succession. You took my throne. Fuck, it's like the 50 Cent shit. Read a book, motherfucker. I was so angry at that. Did you guys catch that thing where they said green dragon? They're sailing in with green dragons. They already fucking changed the uniform up on us.

They fucking moved him out and they changed the goddamn colors. Fuck that. It's only been like two or three days. So they had that mate. They were like, all right, once he's dead, put up all the green shit. Yeah. That's like, I was going to make a very dated Simpsons reference here, but the Springfield isotopes, I'm just going to let that one stay.

Everyone who knows you guys know, but it would be like, if you just like went into a room. Right. And then it said like the New York Mets was like the Albuquerque Mets. Like, holy shit, they're moving the Mets to Albuquerque. That's exactly what they did. They planned this shit from the fucking jump. And I hate to do this, Bob.

I do this all the time with villains in my mom's basement. I got to give a little bit of the tip of the cap. Like, they were prepared for this shit. They had a plan in action. Oh, from Jump Street. Yeah. Meanwhile, yeah. Meanwhile, Rhaenyra and Damon are still like,

kind of like, don't know if they even want to fight the war. The other people are bringing the war to their fucking doorstep. I have to give them a little respect for like having a uniform fucking like plan and literally fucking banners ready to fly from day one. Bravo. You cocksucking cunts. Rhaenyra actually does consider the terms because in her mind, she's like, hey, if I'm the queen, I should do everything in my power to keep the realm together and not tear the realm apart and not start a war.

And Daemon immediately is like, what the fuck are you talking about? We're going to war. The war has started. Okay, we're going on. And she clears the room to fight with her husband. You know, as soon as she goes, can we have the room? He was just like, oh, I might have said the wrong thing. That's not great.

She brings up the dream. He chokes her. This is a bad. That was wild. That was tough. Chokes her. Yeah. I mean, it was like, this ain't the place.

He choked her. He choked her for like a minute straight. I thought she was going to die in his arms. Yeah, that one was tough for Team David. Just when you think their relationship was in a good place. Everything was good. They send the dude off to SOs. They're married.

They're having a kid. Everything's happy. Nope. Never mind. I'm a bloodthirsty freak, and I'm choking you out. Team Damon is like eating a bag of Sour Patch Kids. You get that one Sour Patch, you're like, whoa. He'll get you with those.

You never know when they're going to come. But he's sweet but sour. He's both of them for sure. God damn it. This is Ronnie and Sammy Sweetheart all over again. That's what it is. The Sea Snake and Re rainis reunite he wakes up he's home he's like oh my god i can't believe i can't believe him with you she catches him up on everything including his brother's beheading and his reaction to it was great where she's like you know he fucking questioned the legitimacy of

the the sons in front of the king and he was just like oh motherfucker he's like yeah you know he fucking questioned the legitimacy of the the sons in front of the king and he was just like oh motherfucker he's like yeah you know that's a valerian thing i guess that's the best of us and he wants to retire he's like let's go fucking be grandparents let's go to florida retire with the grandkids and she's like, the kids are in danger. We got to, we got to get in on this. So he arrives to speak with Ray Nira and it's like a pretty important scene where, you know, he comes down, he's got a cane. You could tell he's taken all of the strength to get there.

And he pledges his entire house and fleet to team black. And it was a fist bump moment for us. Team black guys. When he's like saying all that stuff, you almost expect a butt. Like, is there a butt coming? All right, you like us, but you're not giving. And he just says, no, we pledge all our shit to you. Also, just a great plan.

Like, you're fucked. If they own the Narrow C, you're done, dude. Yep. The Narrow C is completely in control, as is the Stepstones after the war. He's like, I almost gave my life, but we actually got control of the Stepstones final. Hand up. I'm a big war guy. I like learning about wars, World War I, World War II,

that kind of shit. I got a little hard when he started talking about blockades. So you talk blockades, you fucking have such a goddamn advantage on people with blockades. I mean, King's Landing is cooked. Dude, it's cooked. If you block a bullet like that, and his wife,

what's her name, Reyna, going like, I'll go patrol that shit myself. You ain't getting through the narrow sea, man. The best fucking, the guy who's so good at fucking sailing the seven seas, he's called the sea snake, and then a bitch on a dragon who doesn't give a fuck, who should have been the queen.

We are looking good, boys. We're looking good. They think that their son's dead, right? They're defending their grandkids. He's just cheated death. She is like living vicariously through the princess. That's a combo right there. Those two.

They should run shit. Yeah. Let both of them run. They're old, experienced. they know what they're doing they've seen it all let them run the realm and you want to talk about people that will like are loyal they pretty much know that they killed that you know they're responsible for their son's death which it was a quote-unquote death in the show but they really killed him in the books and the fact they're still like no we're cool with you guys. It's amazing to me. I love them. I love the Valerians. They're fucking awesome.

Also, before this happened. Let me just say real quick. Yeah. If you're talking about pledging, if you're trying to get people on your side, I mean, I guess she already has them. But couldn't she have been like, by the way, your son's not dead? Right. Right? Like, it was a fucking.

Could she have been a doer? Is that then like, she's ratting on herself, and then it's like – Yeah, but I mean, I would rather – If I had people being like, you killed my son, I'm not going to ride for you. I'd be like, joke's on you. He's just – He's in P-Town. We're all good. Yeah.

He's at Fire Island over in Esso. Yeah. That was breaking case of emergency, that one. They're holding that one in the back pocket in case they're like you know we're going to the green side there were scenes in this episode in particular where i got star wars vibes actually this was one of them where it felt like the rebels are working against like a big empire right now it feels like this is just a ragtag crew we're starting to get allies and it's it's great but we still need a lot like we got dragons cool still need a lot to fight against and then later on even the shot of uh vagar coming in

over luke's dragon it was like the fucking star destroyer chasing a blockade runner in the beginning yeah i was gonna say before uh corliss even joins on when they go through like how do we stand right now? They're like, we got 30 knights. We got 50 guys with bow and arrows. And we have 300. I'm like, we don't even have 1,000? That's not.

We're fucking smoked. I'm watching late episodes of Game of Thrones. And they're like, we got 2,000 wildlings. And they're like, everyone's going to die. That's where I like that guy speaking up, being like, we're wasting our time. Let's talk about dragons. It's like worrying about how many fucking bullets you got when it's like, let's launch the nukes, bro. Who cares?

Yeah. They can go ahead. I just got to ask. I don't know if you guys know or the high council knows in the chat. Like with the dragons here, first of all, are wild dragons and the unclaimed dragons so the unclaimed are the ones we know with the name sea smoke and cannibal guy and whatever the fuck their names are and then there's just wild dragons who don't even have names are just flying around and they're all kind of up for grabs is that right i don't know about wild ones i have

i thought yeah i don't know how many wild ones there are i think they're just in the pit like the ones that's why they kind of considered them like theirs because i think they're like we got these dragons in the pit still okay and then the only people who could probably fly them is targaryens right and or valerians or valerians so are you just going to keep fucking and hope you have more kids to drive like i mean like at this point you need to have more dragon riders to ride the dragons at this point, right? Unless dragons die. Earlier in the chat, the High Council was saying that you can have dragons that don't have riders that still participate in war. Because if you think about it, too, like Daenerys had three dragons.

And she rode one, but she commanded the other two. So that might become a thing with Daemon. Now that we're seeing he's trying to get Vera Max or the next, however long until the next season. That sounds like a vacuum. I don't know. Yeah. Something.

But we might be seeing some of that where like people are commanding a couple of dragons here, like at the same time. And where, where, where are we in terms of dragons? I guess after this episode, it was six,

three. Now it's five, three. Is that right? In terms of black, I think it's still six, three, because it seems like Damon got that one.

That's a bad. Oh, yeah. We lost the baby dragon. We got that. That's, that's, that's losing an eye,

getting a dragon. That's fucking take that trade. I don't know why i said 13 and four before that was like he i think he said that at some point he did he he had them all up and he did say 13 and four so yeah i think it's like you know they have it's like six to three of ones that they have control over okay uh they consider sending ravens to you know the baratheons and the starks and they we they need support they consider sending ravens to you know the baratheons and the starks and they we they need support they consider sending ravens which i was immediately like really we're gonna put our fucking whole war up to the the chances of a raven getting there and delivering a note uh but they're like all right no we're gonna send jace and luke instead they i think they are the ones that stand

up and say we should do it jace has to fly to winterfell for the starks and then loose or luke has to fly towards storm's end for the baratheons or is it the baratheons or the yeah yeah lord yeah boros boros yeah that's who i was thinking of rainier makes her son swear that they are messengers only they are not there to fight they're not traveling to fight they head out and damon then goes down sings with his little torch he's like here dragon dragon dragon imprints on it we see you know the eyes make the eye contact and it's like okay this is not subtle it's his dragon seduction achieved i wrote he went down to seduce a dragon seduction lucerys arrives at storm's end and there's already a dragon there, and it's a big dragon, so you could assume whose dragon it is.

You only see it in the shadows. It's lit up by lightning. Very, very cool aesthetically. Aemond is there when he walks in, and Boros pretty much laughs at him the second he walks in. He's like, I'm here to deliver a message from the queen, and he says, well, I already got a message from the king, and he's offering up my daughter's marriage and marriage packs and all this. What are you offering me? Can you marry one of my daughters? And he's like, sorry, I'm taken, sir. Which is funny to hear a 14 year old say, and marry my cousin, dude. Can't do it. Yeah. And he tells him, no, you could go back and tell your mother. I'm not interested. and then before he walks out

amand this motherfucker you know he's gonna say it the s word and he says the s word he's like a large strong and you're like oh it's a large strong again it's almost like in back to the future when he's like don't call me a chicken yeah strong you know yeah um and they start getting into it he takes his eye patch off and he's got a gross blue eye under there. You see that a little blue eye, a little magic marker. It's hard to see, but he takes the eye patch off.

His eye looks gross. It looks like he put a fucking blue rock inside his eyeball. And he says, I want one of your eyes as a, as a Christmas present for my mom. I think that would be what she wants. So why don't you peel your own eye out? Lord Boros is like,

get out of my living room. We're not doing this here this here go out escort this guy to his dragon get the fuck out i think he was regretting his decision he almost i think looked at uh lucerys and was like all right tell your mom i'll fucking do it because these guys are crazy he goes out to his dragon and then we get kind of the finale of the episode where immediately you could tell like oh man that the anxiety kicks in and as soon as you don't see vagar in in the background you're like oh this guy's coming after him he does come after him and you're like is he just intimidating him is he really trying to fight him and there was an interesting note where luce walked up to his dragon said you have to listen to me you have to listen to me. You have to listen very carefully. Like you have to obey every command I give you.

His dragon did not obey that command. It started getting intimidating, started getting freaked out. It blew some fire at Vhagar. And Vhagar bit through this guy like he was a fucking, a Cheeto puff. It was the easiest bite of all time. And Aegon kind of looked down like, obviously, he didn't command his dragon to do that.

And now he has to just live with that. I thought that was the best part of that whole scene was both of them being like, listen to me. You know, like even like he was antagonizing. But I think at the end of the day, didn't want that to happen because he knows that that's big trouble now. So both of them being like, you listen to me. so both of them being like you listen to me and both of them being like no no we're the dragons uh but that like that look from him he finally changed that stupid face of his that that little that little like smart thing he's been doing his mouth the whole time blue steel he's doing blue steel the entire time yes

rock i just fucking ate a dragon and a prince fuck yeah because like like also that's not you know you can't be like no no it was an accident like you know what i mean there's just two people out there and well one of them's fucking dead so your story is you know i don't know who's gonna believe that so uh but that that those shots of of with the lightning crashing and the shadow differences and stuff that was probably the coolest trying to think of the other like great dragon moments but that was certainly up there well that's i think that one of the reasons you have that awesome chase scene in the storm and then they go above the clouds i have a feeling that's because the last time we saw two dragons face off,

it was too dark. So they're like, you're going to see this shit. You're going to see it in sunlight. It's going to be fucking brutal. And you're going to fucking love it. It was so, how did they find out?

Do you think? Cause we see Damon, obviously he goes and tells Rainier or what happens to end the episode. And she turns around and she shoots the camera. This look like fucking, if you're a Hunger Games fan, it was like Katniss at the end of the second movie, where it's a, we're going to war look. Like, this is, cross the line, we're going to war. I don't give a shit about protecting the realm or anything. How did they find out? I feel like he doesn't come home after a day or so.

And then they probably just have someone with a dragon or they're probably some ships out some dragons and then they just see you know cloak or dragon chomped to bits and like there's only one thing in the world that could do this and it's probably one of the dickheads on the other side who did it to him so i'm guessing is that that was because we were wondering the same thing in my house i would imagine that's how it is i was crazy like one bite and it chopped the dragon up into three parts like the tail the head and the lower body it was like oh my god I I do think this will make the Baratheons flip sides because the whole thing about like accepting a guest into your home and giving that like that's a very big thing in the Game of Thrones world where, I mean, you see like,

that's how they say, Walter phrase cursed and shit like that. And they always talk about it. So I could see this being someone where he's like out of honor. Fuck you guys. Like he was here as a messenger and you slaughtered him. No matter whether or not Eamon wanted to do it or not. I think that might've just gotten us the Baratheons,

which again, kind of fucking worth it. And it's definitely going to make the older brother a bit more of a badass, right? Oh, yeah, I hope so. Again. Oh, Chase. Yeah, yeah. Chase, yeah.

That's who I'm talking about. I thought you were talking about Aegon. No, Aegon's already a motherfucker no we don't need that that guy we need we need jace like you know what they need i swear to god haircuts they don't have yeah they don't have badass hair they have like one direction hair they need they got to get rid of that floppy shit so floppy hair guys already obviously curtains so you got eaten by a dragon His brother needs to shave his head or put some fucking, you know, something that we,

we need a little something here. You guys need to switch up your style. I, uh, I was telling, um, I was telling my wife with, with Amon,

we thought he was gonna be a problem before all this shit went down. Right. With the sword skills and the fucking thing, having a fucking gem in your eye. Yeah, a sapphire. I'll be honest, that's the coolest. If I had one eye today in the regular world, I'd put a sapphire in my head too.

Yeah. I saw a guy on TikTok, he put a flashlight in his. I'm like, that's awesome. He just taps his head and then a flashlight turns on. He's got headlights. It was the coolest looking shit I've ever seen that's awesome. Like, he just, like, taps his head, and then a flashlight turns on, and he just walks. He's got headlights. It was the coolest-looking shit I've ever seen. Can you imagine if fucking Viserys took off that weird fucking gold mask and he had a fucking diamond, and it's like, I'm the king, bitches.

Like, listen to your grandfather. This is the kind of shit you could have if you just listened to me. You could be the king of this whole shit. It would have been awesome. But Aemon, this is probably going to be good for Aemon. Like, I imagine your first dragon kill is your hardest dragon kill he just killed his cousin and he got some revenge on him let's be honest he got revenge on him he tipped the cap for that too i'm kind of happy for him in a sick fucking twisted way i'm telling you amen is he's awesome man i freaking

love amen dude what he's a good villain kevin villains make the fucking world go around you like amen that much that's guy jerking off out of window? No, that's A-Gon. No, no, that's A-Gon. Sorry, that's A-Gon. I'm messing up all my A's. I'm telling you, A-Mind is going to be... When A-Gon needs chit-chats, he's sending A-Mind out to get chit-chats.

Clem, I'm on your side with this one. I like A-Mind a lot. This is going to bite us both in the ass. They move the G to the end. They're the same dude, right? Yeah, it's the exact same guy. I kind of have to ride for him a little bit. I'm dressed up as the fucking guy. I put magic marker all over my face to do this.

Put it this way. It's a shame. If you were to just scramble everybody up and Damon was like captain and we're drafting teams like you would draft him like first overall like like you ain't taking jake or luke at all you're taking him so he obviously is he's a fucking asshole but he's the one who like has the brains and and the uh ability kill count like if we're drafting kill count for season two i figure he's going to be one of the highest guys up there,

if not the highest when it's all triple digits. He'll be the highest, I bet. I bet he'll be number one. I bet they'll do season two to show him he's even more savage than Damon or anyone. The last thing in all this too with Damon and, or Eamon and Aegon, I guess he'd kind of give the girl a pass. She seems a little touched in the head and she sees the future.

Allison and Vceras kind of suck as parents because their kids all turned out pretty fucking shitty right and they were pampered their whole and like renera turned out awesome so it's kind of weird how visceras was able to um i think i've been saying his name visceris whatever the fuck the dead king he did a good job with his first daughter with the other wife but allison as a mom i guess that's the difference allison versus other wife who died in childbirth, it's a fucking blowout in terms of who's the better mom between those two.

The dead mom? Who's the MVP of the season? The dead mom's awesome. I like Emma. Emma with an A at the front. Do we have an MVP of the season? I was thinking about it. Boys, I gotta be honest. it might be the fucking king i thought he was a pussy for a long time but when we look back at this season

what a fucking performance that dude gave i mean he he he made it like seven episodes later than i thought he was gonna did you see what's his name patty something he um he said that george rr martin got him a text and was like you you did like my guy justice which is like gotta be the greatest fucking feeling in the world because i actually i i didn't i i think of him from other roles and he he was kind of, like, not the right fit for me in the beginning. And by the end, I, like, fully – the scene where he, like, rolls his ass out of bed and walks to his throne was it for me. So, yeah, he's high up there on the list. like the person who kind of like uh made the most waves and and all this shit it's probably that bitch allison yeah like without her being without her being a fucking bitch like none of this happens you know what i mean without her dad too auto was i was gonna say auto auto more

high towers in general like that tag team uh because i have a comp otto's otto's belichick and she's brady and it's like which one is the one for this success like they kind of did it together right i mean that's a good comparison and also like best you know number one overall pick mvp i think is damon but he's kind of like that's just because he's cool and a badass and we know he's gonna run shit eventually but for right now this season he's kind of like – that's just because he's cool and a badass and we know he's going to run shit eventually. But for right now this season, he's always kind of just like laying in the cut. I still think he has the – he probably does have the least lines in this show. I'm curious if some of the kids beat him out because so much of what he does is just nonverbal. And like him singing was the longest he spoke in succession.

Yeah. Like of any episode so far. But I do want to go with him just to keep, I don't know. The choking today was tough. That's hard to. You know, there isn't shit. It's fine. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. A guy had a bad last start of the season. He can still get Cy Young votes. Don't bail on our team right now nick we've made it too far too much oh killed a random dude for no good reason i'm i'm still on the team it's just whether or not i could give him the mvp vote this time around there was a thing uh i what was it two episodes ago when corliss's brother lost his head and when he started talking shit there's i don't know if you guys saw the video, where he looks at Rene and she kind of like nods.

He's like, can I do a crime? And she's like, yes. He just likes the guys that are clean off. We're getting a lot of people in the chat saying if we were voting for an LVP, you're most disappointing. Kristen Cole would get that vote. A lot of people high-pitched Kristen Cole.

He is up there with the Joffreys and the Aaron titty sucker guy. He sucks, dude. He might be the worst of all, to be honest. Joffrey is like, whatever, dude. You're an asshole because you were born into this decadence and power. You're a kid. You don't know what's going on.

Kristen Cole is just a pussy whipped incel, incel, like, bitch boy who, like, got his feelings hurt one time and spent the rest of his life, like, killing people and doing dumb shit. Like, get over it, bro. Get over it. You suck, dude. I'm going to – I don't think I'd give him MVP votes. I want to give him, like, comeback player of the year, most improved player, something like that. My guy, the club foot, he's kind of like Littlefoot. He made a lot of shit happen.

Without him, it doesn't happen he also had like the second fuck most fucked up thing we saw on screen behind the dead baby we saw for like 15 minutes straight today was when he was dripping off to the feet so i gotta get he has to get some sort of reward for this i don't need mdp most improved yeah most improved i'll give him that. I think Chris Pratt once said, yeah, he come back. Yeah. He got come on her back. Yeah. And guys, unfortunately I learned tonight. We're going to have to wait two years before season two,

2024. So put the wigs up and, you know, keep them there. Keep them warm. Yeah. Unless we, I saw succession trailer.

I was like, maybe we'll all put on a suits every Sunday. Yeah, man. It's crazy. Unless we – I saw a succession trailer. I was like, maybe we'll all put on suits every Sunday as a recap succession. We played war on the floor on – I mean, it's weird because we were so – it's like you finish a series, and then this is your first taste of it, and you're comparing to the last last whole entire series and and then like this ends and it's like okay yeah it's just one of probably like six or seven to go so you know buckle up season one was as good as i could have asked for in my personal opinion looking to

get back into a throne show looking to have a throne show that dominates the conversation every week, that people make hilarious memes about, great discussions on Twitter, great Reddit, deep dives and theories and Easter eggs and fun facts, whatever. This delivered on every level for me. I think the time jumps for too much. And I thought that once dean was questioned but other than on the whole i think it did exactly what we needed it to do which was like get people back into thrones but if i'm gonna nitpick like having like three episodes in a row where you just jump and change some actors change and some don't and we we skip this and we skip that part of that was like well what are we even doing here like what you know uh but overall like yeah i mean it's back i remember thinking it's going to be like

lord of the rings versus game of thrones and like forget about that battle uh i remember thinking like can this undo what game of thrones did it pretty much did like i didn't i wasn't sitting there thinking about how game of thrones bombed the whole time it just kind of wiped the slate clean and kept me entertained for sure yeah i remember when when the news was coming out and i was blogging or just tweeting about it and you could just tell there was such like a pushback and i get the pushback of like they fucked up that last season of thrones fuck this i'm so out on it we were all back in by the first episode first episode we were all the way back in nitpicking by the end like do i wish that there was more action like we saw at the end of this episode?

I guess. It feels like last episode and this episode were kind of mirrors of each other. This is how, you know, the greens are going to rise and get their shit in order. This is how the blacks are rising. But I feel like season two is just going to be a whole lot of war and a whole lot of shit. I think if they had started that, there wouldn't be a real way to just be like, and that's the end of the season.

I think this was as clean as they could break it off before season two. Yeah. So yeah, I'm happy with it, even though I wanted some more. I also got to ask, I don't know if you guys are the high council knows is Craig and Stark fucking awesome.

Cause I am so excited to get this back in my life. I can't wait to see fucking Winterfell, the fucking little castle there and shit like that. Give me that tree. Oh, I can't wait to see fucking Winterfell, the fucking little castle there and shit like that. Give me that tree. Oh, I can't wait to go back to Winterfell. We're going to the north, boys! We're going to the north! I love that. I can't wait. We're likely going to start next

season there, too, because they'll probably pick up. I'm hoping with Jace going there and pleading to them to join our cause. I'm hoping it's when the stars still still have dire wolves too, like, cause it died off for a few. If he's got a full grown one and he's like,

I'm going to bring this with me and it's going to take out a bunch of fucking people. That would be awesome. If I know anything about the Starks, they're going to make the right decision. Not the thing that helps them the most, but the right decision, which means joining the blacks.

Cause those fuckers are as loyal as they come. Even if're fucking morons cragon is a monster cragon is a month that's not i just saw that i don't like that right off the bat that feels like a problem um one thing it will be two years probably till the next one however i think in between there we're getting the john snow show oh really we're getting in between here, we're getting the Jon Snow show. Oh, really? We're getting it in between here and here? So I think it starts filming soon, which I feel like it just got announced. But I did see reports that in like December, they're going to start. I think that show is going to suck. I think Kit Harington went out and tried to be something else.

It didn't work. And he went back to HBO being like, you want to run it back? And I'll be Jon Snow. And they were probably just like, dollar signs. Let's go. I don't think that's going to be very good. Listen, that's not like what HBO did necessarily. They canceled the whole one spinoff when they were like, the pilot wasn't up to standards.

Like, they put millions into it. I feel like they at least should be smart enough to know like you better nail it if you're bringing john snow back from the dead again and but is it is it a book though like are we as long as we're on no george's no i don't think so george has written the book for the last he's developing it i'm pretty sure john snow's still dead in the books right oh in other books and shit if it's oh yeah if it's all new shit, I don't trust anybody with this world other than George. Because it doesn't make any sense. He's the only one

who can make sense of it all. Someone in the chat also mentioned something we didn't mention in this episode that was funny. The Baratheon guy didn't know how to read. 50 Cent had to challenge him to a reading competition because he had to call his meister over. He was like, read this to me. Yeah.

Tough luck. But we were talking about, listen, how loyal the people were pledging themselves to team black, team green. Got a shout out the high council, the loyal chat that's been here every week for us, the thousands of people. Hopefully they come back in two years. I hope in two years you remember these four ridiculous, stupid faces. We could all be dead in two years. We might be.

We're probably going to be dead in two years. Let's be honest. The way everything's going. Yeah. But we'll be back in two years. I'm predicting it. In two years, you come back, and we'll be right here recapping in these stupid wigs. We'll be doing stupid costumes every week.

Oh, absolutely. And we'll be recapping the gross incest, the jerking off the feet, the dragons, the swords, all of it here on house of the dragon game of stools. Anything else on this episode on this season before we sign off boys. Got to believe. Oh,

wait, I mixed it up. The Mets better win a world series in those two years. We'll have a world series banner. Thumbs up. Thank you to everyone. Thank you. Thank you for saying that because i just get to clip that and stitch it to whatever that's how the next one starts did you win a world series in those two years oh god i i am not hopeful i am more hopeful for rainier's chances of becoming queen in this show um thank you following along with my mom's basement

for all the marvel universe and nerd stuff and or we're recapping and or right now black panther's upcoming we just saw black adam this weekend we'll have a recap of that this week so make sure to check it out for all the nerd content stuff and thank you kevin clem nick it's been fun this season we'll see you next season on House of the Dragon.
