Starting point is 00:00:00 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 to Game of Stools, presented by Barstool Sports and My Mom's Basement. It is Robbie Fox, KFC, Clem, and Nick Hamilton back again to recap House of the Dragons Season 2, Episode 3. How we doing, boys? Doing good. Feeling good. Little setup episode, but I feel like we're on the right path right now. Clem got the candles going. He's a nun.
Starting point is 00:01:39 Got the avion. Unbelievable, as always. I loved this episode. I loved this episode. I thought this episode was badass. That is perfect, Clem. Absolutely perfect. It is. Even the color is matching. You knock it out of the park every week.
Starting point is 00:01:58 I thought this episode was fucking awesome. And the ending scene. Oh, my God. Phenomenal. The acting in it also the entire like production value of this episode the dragon cgi some of the big shots of king's landing the big like overhead shots this was like movie level i've heard all about the budget being you know slashed and that's why you're only getting eight episodes and all that and the other this one could not have been cheap because it was the most
Starting point is 00:02:26 visually stunning of the season so far. Or the series maybe. Yeah. That opening scene when they just do that quick cut to a full battlefield of just dead people. Did anybody win that war at all? Everyone was fucking dead.
Starting point is 00:02:42 Everyone. I thought we were about to get a flashback and then get to see that war at all everyone was fucking dead everyone everyone that's i i thought we were about to get a flashback and then like get to see that war but i kind of wanted to see that the fact that people were laid across the whole field i don't think i've ever seen that even in a lot of like war movies like yeah maybe the page is closest one i i gotta see some dragon cards sooner or later though i appreciate the charred remains and being like oh shit went down I need to see some fucking dragons breathing fire
Starting point is 00:03:10 and like real dragons not that little bitch baby dragon we saw today fly and swoop down I need to see some real fucking dragons it's house of the dragon are you calling moon dancer a bitch I had in my note moon dancer might be my favorite dragon cool name sweet name that's the biggest thing you're a little lost in the name Moon Dancer a bitch? I had my note. Moon Dancer might be my favorite dragon. Cool name. Sweet name.
Starting point is 00:03:26 That's the biggest thing. You're a little lost in the name, Bob. I was lost in the name at first as well. No, it's the green and white for me. The green and white color scheme is fire. Great color scheme as well. We're talking like this is like the Anaheim Mighty Ducks. Cool jerseys, cool colors, and the team was like a 64 overall in NHL 93.
Starting point is 00:03:44 I'm bigger than that dragon. I'm not a dragon. I'm a human being, and I'm bigger than a fucking weapon of mass destruction. I need to see some fucking dragons, man. It's fucking halfway through the season. What is the best dragon moment of the season so far? Dude, yeah, I mean, listen. We've edged enough.
Starting point is 00:04:04 Moon dancer. We've edged enough. we've built up enough uh rainice could have ended this whole fucking thing uh homegirl this episode could have ended the whole thing at the forest with one quick jacarys like i get that that rainiera is peaceful and and cautious but this war could have been over twice already for them. Two times it would have been done, or at least a serious blow wiping out Sir Christian and his gang. And, you know, it's all in the name of trying to stop a war that is a billion percent inevitable.
Starting point is 00:04:41 I mean, that scene with Rhaenys laid it out so well. It was pretty much going to be war when uh amand lost his eye it was definitely going to be war when lucerys got eaten by a fucking dragon it's definitely going to be war when a baby's head is chopped off now everything is fucking rolling like there it's too late so you probably should just start killing major players if you have the opportunity to do so. I'm so confused. I thought the war started. I thought the war started probably when the kid got eaten by a dragon.
Starting point is 00:05:14 Well, yeah, that's what I mean. It's like they're starting to mobilize, and they're asking whose side you're on, but it's like, let's get a battle. Let's get a dragon. Let's get – the war needs to actually begin now you guys let's get right into the episode it was shot the way it shot i this happened when um damon was in harrenhal i go my dumb brain forgets that that's not really harrenhal and he's not really like they do such a good fucking job that was the best thing about thrones when you watch thr every week, you were in Westeros and you're like, holy shit, this is real.
Starting point is 00:05:48 And it just blows my mind that this these are just real places that they just do up. And these fucking cinematographers and, you know, film people, they just fucking crush it. It was it was a beautiful episode. Like I said, the acting to that last scene is, I mean mean good luck topping that one the rest of the season let's get right into the episode we uh start with the bracken and blackwood they're arguing over land almost like a medieval yellowstone now they're like this is our land no it's your land and they go back and forth their families have been at war forever it's been lost to time why they're even arguing it's like yep they're just yankees and red sox forever destined to be uh enemies and you get that jump cut that we mentioned where you don't actually see the battle but it's like flash forward everyone's fucking dead um that guy davos though
Starting point is 00:06:35 badass he was from last season he was the kid that put down a kill i think his name was davos right um i think so it was something with a d because i was expecting everyone's been talking about ben ben bracken or something but it wasn't him he grew up a lot it was almost uh the stranger things in between seasons like last season he was a kid this season he's fucking an adult that's he has a beard and hit puberty basically but great great opening to the episode and you see like eric and eric getting buried and rainice kind of goes over to rainier at the very beginning of the episode she's like i think we got one more option left she's like i think allison she's got a little softness in her eyes to borrow a term from star wars there's a little light left in her i think there's a chance you could turn her because
Starting point is 00:07:19 she's a mother i don't think she wants the carnage and this scene it almost made me like it hammered at home for me. Rhaenys, I know she could have ended the war with the dragon, but she might be the most rational person on the entire show. 100%. Definitely. If Rhaenys never got passed over and she just became queen, it'd be the most peaceful reign ever.
Starting point is 00:07:38 Everybody would be living good. The kingdom would be great. She is very much the only like person i would trust and and rainier too i think there's a lot you know rainier listens to her and they're they're very similar but it's all like you know i'm not set off they tried she tried her fucking best yeah it's you know like the the wheel like like like allison says in the end not to jump forward it's too late but i agree with you she's the only one that's very uh level-headed about this whole thing just the way she looks makes me trust her like when she's just like looking and if she's like agreeing with rene
Starting point is 00:08:14 i'm like oh that's a good call rene because your aunt says it's a good call nothing it doesn't say it just like has the nodding head of approval she's fucking missed like mr miyagi has the same look i don't know how to describe it. It's just that fucking look. I went back and was rewatching the first season today and she's like that the whole time where she's clearly the better pick for ruler. Even over Viserys
Starting point is 00:08:36 like she just always knows where I call and they really fucked up Viserys. Game of Thrones. She handles it well. She's not bitter. No, she has probably
Starting point is 00:08:50 one of the most claims to be the most pissed off of all. She's always telling her husband forget about it, don't worry. It's the one running the bridge. Can't do anything about it. So yeah, she's the level-headed one. At the funeral um for the twins they said he is the basest of villains i think was the line i thought that was a compliment
Starting point is 00:09:12 and they're like no like if i saw that at all he's the basic like i thought basically that's based so i was like he's the best going on and then i think i was kind of spitting on his grave also i want to bring up this point but before i bring it up kevin did you watch the intro today are you just gonna fucking consult the intro the entire time i i don't think i'm even no i'm listen guys i'm not watching the intro i'm not fucking watching i get it it's a tapestry it's being sewn i don't care about it well i'll tell you what we got we got the dead baby on the tapestry this week oh it wasn't headless it was just oh they had the baby, and then they had the neck red,
Starting point is 00:09:46 and you're like, oh, baby's fucking neck. If they gave me, if there was a head that was tipped halfway off, kind of opened up like that, I'll watch it. Pez dispenser? The old Pez dispenser? Yes, yes, yeah. That's your head job, yeah. How has that not been a meme yet?
Starting point is 00:10:02 How did no one, I guess that's the level for the internet. They will not throw dead baby memes where someone made a pez dispenser of a little jay you know what some quigs somebody get on it do kids know what pez is anymore i mean i i do but like pez is kind of i think a thing of the past at this point so my kids do but it's because my mom has been getting me pez since i was like two years old, and now it's transferred to them, as well as I still get Peds. So we both get Peds now. Let's be honest, Peds is a bottom-of-the-barrel candy. It's just the dispenser that's cool.
Starting point is 00:10:32 Definitely. Yeah. Like, who actually eats, you don't eat the Peds, do you, Clem? Depends on the flavor. I will say that. I mean, I could put a stick of chalk in there for you. Grape is pretty good, right? Yeah, it's pretty good. A lemonade. A yellow one. Kev, listen, we're gonna go to the pez there's a the pez hall of fame factory whatever the fuck is in connecticut i've been there
Starting point is 00:10:50 lovely time it's an american staple so i i can't if i'm like speaking ill on pez i'm basically burning an american flag we can fourth of july no less we don't do that here i pledge i pledge fealty to the as Kristen Cole, this this fucking asshole. He's stressed. The first scene with him. It's like first day is the hand first day on the new job. He's late to the meeting. Everyone's like, oh, like, I'm sure you are attending to important
Starting point is 00:11:17 businesses. The new hand. This guy's stressed and the council criticizes his whole plan with Eric and Eric. He was like no i chose him to you know be the savior of our whole team and he just failed in his mission um then they start talking about sending a raven to lord toli because they want to get control of the army in the riverlands there's like 40 000 swords in the riverlands they want to grab them by harrenhal um but cole is just concerned about speed he's like let's just fucking go as quickly as we can get a couple of the boys we'll get them together um and also one
Starting point is 00:11:51 of my favorite lines of this episode came when they were talking about lord tully and they said he couldn't control his cock and a cunning great one great insane line but great yeah rolled off the tongue yeah i hope the fellas run around the Fourth of July weekend being like, I'm trying to get my cock in some Cunny. That is a crazy line. You get any Cunny? It's a new Saturday for the boys. I didn't see that in a barstool flag.
Starting point is 00:12:19 That'll be our merch that we make. We'll get that in the store. So Tully, okay. Tully, is that Caitlyn? Was Caitlyn Tully? Okay, because I'll tell you, boys. I had, after season one, I read like a family, or I saw a family tree, and I got everything in Thrones figured out for all eight seasons.
Starting point is 00:12:42 I'm swimming in names right now. I'm swimming in names. I'm swimming in families right now i'm swimming in families and i'm lost and i don't i honestly that was like what 10 years ago was thrones was when i was really cooking this brain is 10 years older and it's 10 years kev you know it is it's been through a pandemic too as two kids i'm cooked i'm gone so i started watching i can't help hold my today i'm so full back into thrones world i started re-watching season one of thrones today so as i'm watching i'm trying to be like wait so who is that a great great
Starting point is 00:13:09 grandson or great great uncle or whatever so i was just watching our girl catelyn so that and so yeah she was a tully so this is uh what her you know her great great great grandfather or some shit yeah and the one thing that like one thing i think we're going to take home from this if you watch this and then re-watch the original like, a lot of the stuff they talk about does come to pass. They're like, every time there's a war, the Riverlands just get butt-fucked. They just get murdered because they're right in the middle. They're important. And both sides just, you know, lay waste to them.
Starting point is 00:13:36 It happened, I believe, with Robert's Rebellion, and it's going to, I believe, happen here. It's already happened. We saw what the dragons did offscreen yet again. So it's like, I got it. We're going to see're gonna see let me ask you a question generally speaking though i think what ended up fucking game of thrones in the end i think was also its greatest asset for like the middle seasons was we didn't we didn't have an answer because the book hadn't been written you know so when you know we were making like vaguest odds on who could sit on the throne and you could be like maybe fucking lord bailish like pull some shit and sneaks in
Starting point is 00:14:10 we don't know because george never finished these books because this is so far in the past i'm assuming some of his books have already addressed everything that happens i don't know what happened in the books but i'm sure people out there already know how this ends is that yeah so you know yeah like that has kind of ruined it a little bit because when you brought up sir kristin like i as much as i hate him and the internet was fucking hating him man he was like number one trending people fucking loaded that guy and all of a sudden my my mindset on him flipped from one comment. Some dude DM me and he said, you got to admit though, he's climbing the ladder. And I was like, it just kind of like whacked me in the head. Cause I was thinking that's all that
Starting point is 00:14:56 really matters in game of Thrones is like, are you getting closer to the throne? And you know, you either do it by, you know, you're, you're you're you're you're powerful or you're uh beloved or you're like slimy and grimy like like a lord balish you know so i was like maybe kristen cole we should give a little more respect because at the end of the day he went from a nobody to the head of the king's guard now to the hand like he's getting closer but everything he does is kind of in the name of i'm pissed off from like a high school love like you know he's like a scorned lover so i don't want to give him any of that credit but but in the end i'm thinking i'm pretty sure i know he doesn't end up you know on the throne so it's it's a little bit different from the first time around where
Starting point is 00:15:38 even the slimiest of guys you kind of had to like maybe it's maybe it could happen but sir kristen is climbing he just doesn't know what the fuck he's doing because riding into war like that today like he's he's exactly what otto said he is like he doesn't know what he's doing that's going back and watching the first episodes like i forgot that he was just a knight he's not even a lord nothing he was just like the only knight in the tournament that actually fought in wars a little bit so he won he beat damon forgot about all of that uh don't back watch today and they're like and seeing he has climbed but it's always just because like he's trying to fuck for nira and then he's trying to fuck he's fucking allison and like honestly he's failing up that's the difference the other guys
Starting point is 00:16:22 were were conniving and like doing it on purpose he is failing upwards for sure but there is part of me that's like you know as long as you're moving closer to that to that crown you know it doesn't really matter but he keeps you know he keeps this up and and i i don't you know he's he's gonna get dracarys someday he's gonna get fucking flamed at this rate i thought there was a chance they were gonna do it today i was like when the dragon was closing i was like oh my god is this gonna happen and i love that still has that factor how about uh uh you know buzz the tower just like give me a little quick your cars you don't have to flame you know like burn the trees you could be next bitch yeah
Starting point is 00:16:59 allison's brother no no one thinks he's lasting more than like three days right like i thought he was they're like this is his her brother and now he's dead like i thought yeah not duane guayne all light change all time bad name oh my god guayne's world that guy sucks that's good i like that when he showed up i was was like, oh, okay. Like, he's putting that fuckhead Sir Christian who has – he just has that fuckass haircut now too. And he put him in his place a little bit, but then it turns out he's even more of a bitch than Sir Christian Cole.
Starting point is 00:17:36 He makes Sir Christian Cole look like a badass soldier the way he operates. I'm telling you, that's not a cool thing. I want him to be my guy too. Do you know what his name is? His real name? No. What? Freddie Fox.
Starting point is 00:17:49 Oh, no shit. As soon as I saw Freddie Fox pop up in the credits, like me and my girlfriend looked up, like, who does Freddie Fox play in this show? I haven't seen that name before. And then we saw like,
Starting point is 00:17:57 oh, it's a new character. I was like, this could be my guy. He showed up and I was like, oh fuck. It's like when you, like you draw a number in the Royal Rumble and then you got Bushwacker
Starting point is 00:18:06 Luke you gotta put that on Kristen Cole's resume too got roasted by a guy named Gwaine that was brutal again Kristen Cole the hand of the king the dick of the queen
Starting point is 00:18:22 and a brain of fucking rocks a box of rocks brain it's incredible that this guy and i have my theory now is that george rr martin knew someone in high school or you know grammar school i'm sure they called it grammar school when he was in school and there was some dickhead named kristin that was good looking but sucked at everything he did and he would always just you know fail upwards because he was so good because that's all kristen cole has is literally his good looks he has nothing else yet i'm telling man this shit is rooted in george i can this is shake what is it shakespeare and love where you learn about all the shit of like i'm telling you right now tomorrow george
Starting point is 00:18:57 rr martin's gonna come out with that shit because kristen cole has no business being the fucking hand of the king and the queen they did a bad job with with that like or maybe this is the point maybe we're not supposed to respect him at all in any way but like if he if he is some sort of you know they talk about like you know he's he's uh known for like his sword and not his brain it's like we should have at least seen something other than just a jousting tournament in season one show me like like a battle where he like, you know, did some shit like Damon beating the crab king. And then you're like, oh, okay, I respect this guy. Because right now, ain't nothing to respect about him.
Starting point is 00:19:34 Even his dick game, I don't even know it's that good. Like, Allison looks like someone that knows good dick for bad dick. She was fucking old ass Viserys or whatever his name is, forgot how long. And then she went right to him. That's true. There's no buffer. She's not like, oh, she didn't run wild with some stallions she went to fucking christmas cold he gives good head that's about it he gives good head yeah far away it could get you very far uh the white worm stuck around after she ratted out eric and rainiera meets with her
Starting point is 00:20:04 she basically offers herself as an informant she's like maybe that we could work out a little deal The white worm stuck around after she ratted out Eric and Rainier meets with her. She basically offers herself as an informant. She's like, maybe that we could work out a little deal here. I got stuff valuable to you. You got stuff valuable to me. Also, they mentioned Seasmoke has just been like anxious. He's been like wilding out in the fucking ocean. And that seems like it's going to pop off soon as well.
Starting point is 00:20:25 That seemed like it's a tease for something that's actually going to pay off this season, if not very soon, because the way they lingered on that was weird. And that's Lane or is yeah. Like vacant dragon, right? Yep. Now,
Starting point is 00:20:35 like how come a motherfucker is not claiming that dragon, right? Goddamn away. Like someone, you, you got your dragon stolen from you before by having a, a Dracon, a vacant dragon.
Starting point is 00:20:45 Why are you not sending another little kid to go get it? Is it just not letting anyone claim it? Is it flying away from people or something? I think if I remember from last year, people were saying as long as the rider is alive, they don't let anyone else claim it. And if he's upset now, it might mean Laenor died when he was, you know, fucking off in Pentos. Yeah. Or that he has some sort of, you know, he knows he's not dead.
Starting point is 00:21:09 So he's like, you know, you can't claim me. I'm just out here wild stallion sort of. I got like anxiety watching that dragon too. I'm like, yo, there's no manuals for dragons. Like who's to say that dragon doesn't just burn down the whole castle one night because he hasn't gotten laid in a while or, you know, hasn't gotten rid of it. Yeah. The dragons do feel a lot to me like the people
Starting point is 00:21:28 who own chimpanzees. They're like, no, no, no. We've trained them. They know who we are. It's like, yeah, but then one day they beat your face off. If all the dragons just decided to be like, we're going to turn on you people and go live a life
Starting point is 00:21:44 in the dragon lands, you're all fucked. He's wearing overalls and no sign language he's harmless he can't hurt you also uh rain nira tells reina that she's gonna send her youngest off with her she's kind of like hey we can't allow for babies to keep getting killed here why don't you take a sacrifice take one for the team and be the mother that i can't be to them right now and she's kind of like hey we can't allow for babies to keep getting killed here why don't you take a sacrifice take one for the team and be the mother that i can't be to them right now and she's pissed about it obviously because she's kind of being like exiled in a way but she knows what she has to do she's going through with it i hand up they were like oh you know they got to us this and that flat out forgot that the whole twins barging, like right in front of her or dueling in front of her. I completely, completely like passed my mind.
Starting point is 00:22:28 And then after the episode, I was like, oh shit, that was a real problem. Like now I'm going to say, the dragon and the egg are out. Again, bad brain. I don't watch, I should, I'm going to have to watch the previous Leon's for now on. This is, I've reached that stage of life. If it spoils something for me by mistake,
Starting point is 00:22:42 I'll have to live with it. Clem, you can check out, I do five bit of recaps every week for can check out. I do five-minute recaps every week for the normal people. I do Game of Thrones recaps for the normal people. If you don't want to spend 10 minutes on the opening intro and you don't want to do a 59-minute recap,
Starting point is 00:22:56 you want to just get to the point, I got you covered every week. The Sunday right before the episode comes out, I got you covered. Where can I find those, Kev? You can go on where videos are streamed and find me at 5MinuteMan. It's like 1MinuteMan, but for 5 minutes. And these episodes
Starting point is 00:23:12 will be on the My Mom's Basement accounts. It will not be on the Game of Stools. It's going to end up going vacant at some point, I believe, right? Is that the plan? So we'll throw them on My Mom's Basement for now? Is that what we're thinking? Yeah, everything's on My Mom's Basement so that all these subscribers are going to an active channel rather than game of stools which has you know been been dead for a while now so a few people were uh you know saying
Starting point is 00:23:33 where is the audio or where can i download it everything's on my mom's basement we should probably put this on the game of stools feed or just get rid of the game just so people know like yeah change the cover of the game of stools feed to say, go to my mom's basement. Yeah, perfect. Perfect. Good call. Good call. One of the most badass scenes, Clem mentioned it. It was the most badass looking scene is when Damon rides his dragon into Harrenhal, that half torn down castle.
Starting point is 00:23:57 The blue glow and the lightning and everything about the way they shot this was just like movie worthy, chills worthy. And I love he walks in he's like i'm claiming harrenhal and strong's just apparently so i fucking hope so too dude yeah i guess so yeah like i've been waiting for this you know like poison them and they're like you're welcome here like my lord he corrects himself a few times he's like my prince i my lord my i'm sorry? My lord? And they fucking hate Laris. The Strongs
Starting point is 00:24:29 hate him. They're like, we don't claim fucking clubfoot. He's a great player. Set them all on fire. When Damon arrived in the throne room of Harrenhal or whatever when they were eating dinner, that was like when Brandon got his livestream just flooded by stoolies. He's like, I love Dave Portnoy. Dave Portnoy's love dayport now i like you gotson you like bent the knee immediately it was like the only way out
Starting point is 00:24:51 and like they i feel like the arrows stopped flying as much once he did that that poor guy that got bashed in the face for no reason they're just like oh i fucking terry's down david just one punch that guy, man. Yeah. They would have let him in. Yeah. He was like, I was going to hold the door for you, bro. Yeah. That scene, the way the dragon lands on the top and you see somebody run away and the lightning cracks, it was like, oh, that's fucking a great shot.
Starting point is 00:25:20 If they didn't have this scene, I wouldn't think Moondancer's small. Because when I saw Damon on Craxies, I was like, oh, shit, that thing is huge. Yeah. Yeah, you have toxis, I was like, oh shit, that thing is huge. Yeah, you have to squint to be like, who's riding that thing right now? I just recognize it because it looks praying mantis-y. It's all long and creepy. I also got a shout out. The people doing the closed captions now, they're smart.
Starting point is 00:25:39 They're saying, they're putting all these little things like eerie music, and I'm like, oh shit, this is bad. This is very bad. I basically did it with A. Smith. And it's like it ends up not being bad. Everything turned out all right. Also, the guy who was like the head of Harrenhal, he's from something, isn't he? I feel like he's like a guy from something.
Starting point is 00:25:55 Does anyone know what I'm talking about? I don't know. There was one guy later on that was in the Team Black Council that I thought looked like the Irish dude from Bridesmaids, but different guy. Yes, there's definitely a guy for that as well. Yes, that character has been out of my mind since the last time I watched Bridesmaids. That guy feels like he could be someone for sure. This guy just felt weird. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:26:19 Also, like you said, I love that he's like Laris Strong. He's like, oh, Laris Clubfoot? Fuck that guy. We don't claim that. That was awesome. And the fact that he was like, yeah, don't you think it's weird that like his brother and dad died in a rainy,
Starting point is 00:26:33 damp place due to a fire. The first fire that's happened in fucking forever. It's like, yeah, probably the creepy cousin man too. Like he's always lingering in the shadows. Like everyone hates the club. There's nothing better than when you don't like someone but you you they're like you're talking to their family
Starting point is 00:26:49 or a friend or something and you realize they don't like him it's like yeah fuck that guy yeah fuck that guy i've been waiting to talk shit about him forever that was beautiful uh oh my god kristen cole's haircut i tweeted oh what the fuck happened there i mean like is he stressed, he just doesn't have the time to do the gel at this point. Allison introduces them to Gwaine, Freddie Fox. And obviously they,
Starting point is 00:27:12 they hate each other right off the bat. They butt heads right away. And there's that crazy shot as they head off of one of the rat catchers, getting his eye eaten out by a fucking Raven. Oh, you know, that city must spell smell right now i was thinking the same thing catchers by the way there's probably a bunch of fucking rats running around
Starting point is 00:27:30 now too because nobody's out there nobody's catching them and you got dead bodies rotting everywhere oh that that haircut though to to again throw it back to early brandon walker that that haircut brandon walker-esque like you know the infamous looks like you got your hair cut with the knife and fork that yes it is but you know you can't have your flowing locks when you go to battle you can't you know i get it but man you can't like damon does right he's got longer hair than christian cole yeah yeah no don't i mean there's plenty of guys who do i'm just assuming that's why he did it, right? I mean –
Starting point is 00:28:06 Maybe. He didn't want to cornrow it up like a UFC fight. Either way, that shit is – Everything Kristen Cole has been losses. He comes out with the dumbest haircut. And you know what he gets for looking like a fucking tool? He gets the Queen's titty handkerchief. That shit must have been – it's like the fucking –
Starting point is 00:28:24 the shit that the club foot would do with that thing. Oh my God. He would turn that into a stone block like that. No, we're absolutely getting the scene... We're talking... We're absolutely getting the scene of Chris and Cole just huffing that thing at some point.
Starting point is 00:28:44 Rub it in between his toes and shit uh rainier's council this was a great scene too and the council suggests they're like uh yeah our lord uh maybe you should find some safety somewhere maybe you should head off and let us handle this and she's like that would be treason and then rainies comes in and she's like let me just remind you whose crown she's wearing and brings up i think it's just serious he's like she's wearing a fucking crowded just serious she's got the traits she knows what she's doing and then she walks out of the room with like kind of like another mic drop moment for her i loved this scene i the only thing i don't like is uh her reyniera's uh council
Starting point is 00:29:27 is like the most nameless faceless like nobody's you know what i mean you're right and maybe they're just they're not gonna be a big part of of this show so they just kind of whip through it like you you you know we've seen amon's uh agon's team enough that like we know who they are those guys it's just like oh okay we get it you guys are like war hawks who just like want fucking war and they're pushing for it but when they're on the screen i'm like i don't give a fuck about you guys but that was definitely a quick like you better remember like i'm the fucking queen you guys are morons although i they might be right i think think they're right. Let's go, babe. They probably are. We should bring some dragons.
Starting point is 00:30:08 Bring one. Right. Or at least let's do something. Let's kill somebody. They have to be wearing... They're always wearing gray, too. You're like, oh shit, that's Lannister at the King's Council, right? Where, as with her council, they're NPCs.
Starting point is 00:30:23 Yeah, that's exactly what they are. Just skip their scenes. Just hold X and skip their bullshit right there's only i recognize the veil because i think they just put them in the same armor as when the veil showed up at the battle of the bastard so i'm like okay i know who this guy is i have no idea that goes over my head and when she says treason when the t word gets brought up i'm like oh shit someone's head might get chopped off like game of of Thrones has conditioned me when the T word is mentioned. Shit might go down. Big time. Rainey suggests that Corliss name Raina his heir because it's either her or Joffrey.
Starting point is 00:30:57 Joffrey's young, doesn't know what he's doing, but he's against it. He says she knows nothing of the Tides or the dragons. I think we said it last week but it feels like he's gonna die pretty soon right it feels like they're they're kind of like gearing him up for a death bob i have it in my notes i don't feel good it's like fucking danny glover and lethal weapon or the guy who you know i just got my retirement my wife going down to north carolina we're gonna retire together i don't feel good. And let me tell you, I ain't happy because I'll tell you, Corliss and Renis are so
Starting point is 00:31:28 fucking adorable together. The way she was hugging her hips and she's just giving them that look. It's fucking... I don't know if this is like a hot take, but Chip and Joanna Gaines, I love those two. The fucking Home Improvement people. They're like my favorite couple in the world. And that's... These people.
Starting point is 00:31:44 These are the dragon version of those people man they're just fucking adorable i love them and bad shit's about to happen it sucks yeah that's gonna be a sad day when the sea snake finally goes and rainice is sad and uh i mean he he's one of the only uh relatively honorable dudes too like he made his play for the throne but you know didn't you know it didn't cross any lines too badly him his wife and rainier are like the only good people in this whole fucking show that's yeah the way that she's talking like how she's being a badass just thrones has me conditioned to think we're losing her and then we're gonna oh no that would fucking oh that's what i what would reneara do that because that's like
Starting point is 00:32:29 where she has to be like fuck this whole council bring corliss in bring the people closest in let the sun maybe that would be great maybe that's why they're not giving us anything about the council because she's about to wipe them all out and just bring in bring in like like when your basketball team subs in a whole new five, cause you're sucking so bad coaches, like all you get out, you know, bring in, bring in a whole new team. I also think that if I remind, if I remember his conversations with her is about who, like which of my children would be ready, could be on the throne.
Starting point is 00:33:00 And then we know that there's those two bastards, Alan and Adam lurking. So I feel like that's all going to come together in a couple episodes. You're probably right. I didn't even put that together, yeah. Wait a second. That motherfucker cheated on Reynos. That's how you get bastards? Yeah, listen. Everybody's got bastards
Starting point is 00:33:18 in this world. Yeah, back then did they even know the term cheating? Or was it just like... Yeah, it's like the mafia. You're almost like if you don't have a Gumar, it just like yeah it's like the mafia like you're almost like if you don't have a Gumar it's like this guy's a cop he's not fucking I'll tell you though watching
Starting point is 00:33:32 re-watching Game Thrones episode one Lady Stark is just such a fucking dick to Jon Snow like give him a fucking break god damn awful to him. And Ned's just letting it happen knowing that's not even his bastard. He's just like.
Starting point is 00:33:50 Yeah, right, right. That's you, girl. Dude, yeah. Shout out to Ned Stark for, you know, not just snapping one of those days, just being like, it's not even my fucking dick. Shut up. God damn. Rhaenyra. being like it's not even my fucking game god damn uh rainier uh you bringing up ranis's death might be the most fucked up thing on this entire show that was worse than the childbirth stuff yeah i'm so nervous about everything in this show like i'm just looking for like what's going to
Starting point is 00:34:19 rip my heart out the most it's going to be that so i'm just getting ready for it now that and that's a good i actually you know what I take it back Because now you've prepared me for it mentally Even though I don't want to think about it When it happens you're like at least Like when the red wedding that was a bus just running me over I didn't see it anywhere At least I have it in the back of my brain
Starting point is 00:34:37 I don't like it I'm gonna say this If Corliss does die and Reynis is alive She's gonna fucking go to that council And put on a fucking show She's gonna have her best moment of the put on a fucking show she's gonna have her best moment of the season during that moment i'm calling it right now june 30th uh rainier sends storm cloud and tyraxis off with reina and the kids she also gives them a couple dragon eggs that are they they have them like a catering tray like they're steaming and everything
Starting point is 00:35:01 they take the tray off they put it back on i thought that was hysterical um and they kind of make these two dragons out to be pussies she's like i'll send you the two like they almost sound like they were like plant eaters or something yeah listen you sent me the fucking herbivores if i if i trade you like all my army in exchange for a dragon and you give me like a salamander and an egg like that's like uh that was not what we fucking agreed upon give me one of your real fucking dragons yeah no wait and also like are those dragons going to become you know i think what's that yeah danny's dragons yeah and it makes sense because they said aren't they sending reina to pentos was and that's like and how did those eggs get there in the first place this kind of connects that yep oh i didn't want to
Starting point is 00:35:51 match that either one of them it seems like would have to hatch though because yeah yeah well yeah in episode one they're like these eggs are so old they've hardened to stone yeah and that's then she like brings it back to life or whatever, Danny. So those are probably those eggs. Yeah, I think so. Because it's the red, green, blue. Yeah. You can also lie and be like, oh, these dragons will be up and going to no time.
Starting point is 00:36:15 No one's going to fucking call you on it. Yeah, also it's like, you know, it's like, you like knock on it. Like, yeah, no, this one's going to be about 100 feet long. Yeah, don't worry. I promise. In fact, if you're a Targaryen, all you do is just send painted rocks to people all the time. Yo, you got a dragon. They don't know the fuck.
Starting point is 00:36:33 When they said, what does the King look like? Have you ever seen him? I'm like, oh shit. They don't know what the King. If you've seen him, you probably see him once in every 10 years and you're fucking like 800 miles away as they're greeting the crowds. Like you can do whatever you want. Dude, that's a, that's like a Zach Morris saved by the bell.
Starting point is 00:36:48 Like just paint, just paint this fucking rock blue and give it to him. Isn't that what America did with moon rocks? Didn't we send fake moon rocks to like every country in the world? Then we were like, Oh, this is to commemorate like our trip to the moon. Here's a souvenir.
Starting point is 00:37:01 And then they tested him. It was like, go Bob. All right. 41 minutes is when we got demonetized. Here's a souvenir. And then they tested him. It was like, go Bob. All right. 41 minutes is when we got demonetized. That's a record. And while we're at it, if we're demonetized,
Starting point is 00:37:12 cunt, cunt, cunt, cunt, cunt, cock and a cunny. Helena feels really bad about being sad about her baby being beheaded. She walks into Alice and she's like,
Starting point is 00:37:24 I, I, it feels shitty, but you know, I'm a little bit sad about her baby being beheaded she walks into alice and she's like i it feels shitty but you know i'm a little bit sad about this it's bumming me out a little bit that my young sheldon out here just being like i feel bad that my baby was for heaven god man and alice's like it's it's okay if you grief like it's it was your baby and then she also helena's like i forgive you and it's kind of like what when she was first like you know the poor people have lost more babies than i have so like they you know they should they deserve to grieve more uh that was great that's a great line it's it's heart-wrenching yet you know they're treating her like you know she's got some sort of like emotional uh disconnection and and it's just like crushing but then that that uh i forgive you is like you know you brought it up last don't like we didn't talk about it but you said you know
Starting point is 00:38:16 remember what you saw that night i saw it i forgive you that's got to be even worse for her to be like oh shit she does know yeah they're making this weirdo into a pretty likable character, too, Helena. Yeah, totally. I was just going to say, I love this bitch. I love her. I feel terrible for her. And I honestly, she has me at the edge of my seat. I'm like, yo, what's happening in the show next?
Starting point is 00:38:36 Because she's going to, I hope the rat stuff isn't her last, like, spoiler in fucking Riddles. I want more Riddles. Helena Riddles keep me going in this show. show yeah i mean uh things ended with brand so shitty that you forget that like the other 20 times he was on camera it was always pretty cool when he was predicting things and seeing things and you know one-eyed raven type shit and and she has some of that but they have not touched into that in like five six episodes episodes. I had a tweet ready to go. I thought she was going to drop some shit. And I had from the election or the debate.
Starting point is 00:39:11 I don't know what he said. That's in the chamber. Like, just be ready. I'm going to send that off. Second, she said some weird shit. Kev, what happened with Bran at the end of this? I don't remember Thrones. Did he die at the end of it?
Starting point is 00:39:29 I don't know. I never watched it. I never of it uh no i don't know i never watched it i never watched it i thought he was gonna get the throne i said it like in like season six and i was laughed at mocked ridiculed all the above i don't ever saw it i don't care i don't know what you're talking about uh agon is preparing himself for war he's wearing the armor of agon the conqueror and they're all shooting him up i guess getting it more fitted for him and laris walks in realizes what's happening he's very against it and he plays agon like a fiddle he just walks in he's like you know they've been kind of calling you a pussy out there i don't know if you should be doing this like the way he went about it was like there's rumors that you kind of got forced into this and maybe that you're going to be killed and your mom is going to be the queen just just whispers you know you could totally go
Starting point is 00:40:09 if you want to and then they're like sir should we prepare your dragon he's like i think maybe another day no that's good stuff another good agon scene that pervert is fucking nice with it man he is he's like little finger-esque that when he first walked up and said, you know, I heard that you're going to war because you're so handsome and strong. I get it. I know that was, I mean,
Starting point is 00:40:35 he, he, he took care of that business quick, fast, but Lord, the top rated comment says that you shouldn't be. Have you seen what Twitter's saying? You know what?
Starting point is 00:40:48 That scene just hammers home. I'm like, oh, he wanted Allison's titty handkerchief. That dude has every piece of clothing. Allison has every game used to be the clothing. It looks like a fucking Hall of Fame in his house. He has every piece of clothing she's ever had. That dude is brilliant, man. He is conniving.
Starting point is 00:41:05 He is fucking playing 4D chess. And at this point, like, again, there's a lot about Team Green to hate. I think he is one of, like, the most interesting characters in the entire show. Laris or Aegon? Laris. Laris, yeah, yeah. Aegon is the people's king still, though. He's cool as fuck.
Starting point is 00:41:22 We'll talk about it some more. Yeah, I mean, the two guys, the two soldiers, like, right there with Laris in that scene being like, hey, we're going to go out and fuck some chicks tonight? That's some shit, like, where your friend – like, I remember when I was graduating Fordham and I was going to get my MBA and I was still living in the dorms with my, with my buddies. And I was like, guys, like I'm, I'm going to like graduate school now. So like, I don't, I don't think I'm gonna be drinking every night, partying every night. Like, come on, I'm going to go get my MBA. And they were like, yeah, okay, sure, buddy. You're so special now. Like the next night I'm fucking drunk and playing beer pong and shit. It felt a lot like when your friend thinks he's like something that he's not. And're like oh yeah yeah totally you got a new job buddy yeah whatever i've been in the whorehouse with you for the last 25 years man shut up the king's guard too man like
Starting point is 00:42:15 they are just straight bums the king's guard is just a fucking his his fucking son just got killed you figure if anybody in the whole realm would be have their fucking P's and Q's in check or whatever the fuck this thing is, it would be the Kingsguard would be like, yo, we can't let this happen again. These guys are sitting down. Cole's like, you fucking assholes. You know? At least shape up for like, you know, it's like when Dave comes to the office. Like, just pretend you're doing your part.
Starting point is 00:42:39 Go back. You can go back to fucking. I bet if you're speaking, say Dave were to buy the company and come to the office. Imagine if like no one was there working. Oh, that happened once in a year ago so yeah i can't imagine it is true but yeah that was funny like you guys took your vow of celibacy though right yeah yeah oh oh yeah okay they're like hey greg's never fucked you want to come watch basically the way they went about it and he's like and we see this guy olf walk into the bar like the next scene he walks to the bar super popular everyone's like oh oh if you're the
Starting point is 00:43:09 fucking man off and he is the bastard brother to damon uncle to reynira son of balon half brother of uh king viserys and he says his nephew is the right flair and he it was almost like a record scratch as he said it he said it way too loud and they were like oh there's your other nephew and agon walks in with his boys wasted already and he completely makes a mockery of his brother amand and this scene was crazy i mean we got a full-on blow job we got amand dick the fakest dick i've ever seen yeah that dick was like straight aro genero and had like the weird tip like i think i think that was like a like a gag gift like not even like a real dildo like a fake funny though that was such a fake dick that was crazy because you like you can't show like it would just be
Starting point is 00:43:58 porn yeah do you think that's why when it first popped on the screen i was like atrio is doing what now like yeah well also i mean you know maybe i'm one of these these i'm a generation of men who's grown up on porn and maybe my brain is my mind is is warped but that girl was giving some pretty terrible head i don't know why you know why make that thing so big if she's you know either get heather brooke in there or just make that thing a little smaller because she was pervert over here there's rules since it's still on hbo that they have to like follow to a t so they're like all right it could be like this it's got to look fake she can only
Starting point is 00:44:36 go this far yeah i mean she can't do a good job all right yeah imagine if we got a hawk tour in the middle of game of thrones if she was spitting on that thing i mean the needs would have gone to my lord if i were them in the past two weeks i would have done some like visual effects magic to do that just to have it go viral yeah yeah yeah let's get those let's get some Thrones. Hawk to a memes going. Everyone talks. Everyone talks about the stuff we lost during COVID. You know, it's like,
Starting point is 00:45:10 you can't go to like every Mickey D's 24, seven old stuff. And like, you know, everything's expensive now at the same point. It's pretty easy to gamble in sports. It's a lot easier to get an HBO show and blow jobs now. So it's not even just,
Starting point is 00:45:25 it's also, it's just dick on television. Dick everywhere. Euphoria, White Lotus, Eamon, you know, we had the big fake dick, and we had the small regular dick. Shout out to the regular guys out there. There's just been dick everywhere.
Starting point is 00:45:43 To a gratuitous amount, I'll say it. I'll say it. There's too much dick everywhere to, to a gratuitous, a gratuitous amount. I'll say it. I'll say it. What level does he hate a gone by the way, as he's walking away, you see, he's got that look in his eye where in his one eye where he's just like,
Starting point is 00:45:54 I fucking hate this guy, but does he hate him enough to like kill him and try to take the throne one day? I know I would. I don't know if he would do it himself. I think he's the one being like you should go right out like go out there right out there and then he's just hanging back that i felt like was what stopped agon when uh shra or laris said your mom and your brother
Starting point is 00:46:20 will be here and that's when he was like, oh shit. They're going to start recognizing him as the king. He definitely wants Aegon to die. And hey, Aegon, I know he has a lot of holds of being king. Pissing off the realm, bad idea. Definitely
Starting point is 00:46:39 a bad idea. I tell you, I think I have a thing for this fucking this whore because this i feel bad for her the real housewife man bro sometimes i don't think clem realized what comes out of his mouth i'll tell you i got a thing for this fucking whore i mean in a nice way i feel bad for her i like shea she was a nice person turned Turned out she wasn't. This woman, she's just sitting there cuddling
Starting point is 00:47:07 and then she's getting sold off to some dude who's never fucking banged. He's in a whorehouse. I just feel bad for my real housewife. I've never watched Real Housewives. I think I understand it now after watching it. I feel like it's a trauma. Now the Real Housewives are whores? I don't know. Where did that come from?
Starting point is 00:47:24 She looks like a real housewife. Tell me she looks like a real housewife. You said that last week. You said she looked like a real housewives are whores? I don't know. Where did that come from? She looks like a real housewife. Tell me she looks like a real housewife. You said that last week. You said she looked like a real... I forgot about that. Oh my God. The high council in the chat is going wild right now. Reckless. I'm not going to get my costume designer
Starting point is 00:47:39 who's going to fucking break up with me tomorrow. Don't clip it. Don't fucking clip it. Gwaine, we cut back to this is the moon dancer scene we get gwayne and uh cole there cole is like get nancy's like let's fucking go and gwayne is like nah let's find a hotel and chill for the night and you know we'll we'll get him tomorrow then bailout moon dancer spot him swoop down they do the whole thing i thought there was a chance, like I said. When he looks up at the sun and it goes shadow, that was awesome.
Starting point is 00:48:09 Yes. He's like, we've been spotted. Yeah, that's where Sir Christian is like, oh, okay, this guy knows the battlefield. And he gets to have the I told you so moment afterwards. They do the GTA. They lose the stars. They get into the forest. They can't be seen anymore. They change the color of the GTA. They lose the stars. They get into the forest. They can't be seen anymore.
Starting point is 00:48:25 They change the colors of the car. Yeah, and he's like, and by the way, we're going tonight. There's no fucking staying at an inn. No fucking inns. That's another Dave Portnoy, like on the Blackout Tour. You're sleeping in the bus. No fucking hotels. When she swooped with that dragon i swear to god i just yelled
Starting point is 00:48:47 murder because i wanted her to murder christmas kohl right on the battlefield yes oh i was yelling do it i was going do it do it and then when i saw the size of that dragon i said i don't know if that dragon isn't has developed its fucking flame ability yet it doesn't even breathe fire i don't i don't think it's fire this is a continued slander would you say the same thing about like a velociraptor like sure they're not a t-rex but they're gonna fuck you up anyway they're fast they're fucking stealthy i mean yeah but it's like they doesn't breathe they don't breathe fire either they're basically just flying a velocian raptor cool not a fucking dragon i was worried the whole time like that thing's so small uh one of the bolts from that machine would rip through both of them
Starting point is 00:49:32 oh yeah one of those arrows hit when they're going towards the woods i was like isn't that where all the army is like i imagine they brought a scorpion with if you travel with the whole army and possibly there's dragons you got to bring one of those i don't know because they said you know speed is my ally or yeah yeah he was trying to do a sneak attack i think they were calling their pants down there but it was like an infant dragon well like here's what i would do by the way back at like there ain't no internet there ain't no. I would have just Dracarys those guys and been like, they started a war. They fucking threw the first point.
Starting point is 00:50:10 They fired that thing at me. And I burnt it. It's gone. There's no evidence. But tell the world that. It's like Otto just telling everyone that Rhaenyra killed the baby. Just spin zone that shit. And, you know, you also wipe out the hand of the king and the brother of the of the queen and all all this shit it's like just just do it and lie that's i think she wanted to
Starting point is 00:50:31 right yeah she wants she said to rainier she's like i know you told me like i didn't i didn't exactly engage she's like i pretty much came as close as i could but at what point is is does she say i think allison says or maybe it's rainiera who says like do yeah rainiera says basically don't take my my kindness for weakness right to white worm like at what point is her kindness weakness because it's like it's not kindness it's more like her cautiousness but it's like yo you're gonna be gonna need yeah yeah it's crazy it's like, yo, you're going to be going to the eight ball. Yeah. Yeah. It's crazy. It's when you play by the rules in a rule-less game like war,
Starting point is 00:51:08 it's like, that's how you lose. You know? Yeah. Back in the day when it was like Barstool versus the world, we just do whatever
Starting point is 00:51:13 the fuck you want, say whatever the fuck we wanted. And ESPN and other people would have to be all buttoned up and couldn't respond. It's like, all right,
Starting point is 00:51:19 it's feeding time now. And that's what I feel like the greens are doing. It's the same thing as Survivor. The minute you start playing Survivor with your heart instead of your head will compton puts a knife in your back you're at war you know although i to go back to uh the dragon you continually slander clem
Starting point is 00:51:37 uh the the small council here made a good point that there was those the small dragons that flamed the unsullied guy back in Game of Thrones. That thing was like the size of a puppy, and he fucking flamed that dude to a crisp. Has that dragon breathed fire? All right, again, Moondancer. Cool-looking dragon, cool-named dragon. I like the dragon.
Starting point is 00:51:58 I'm rooting for the dragon. Can I just see that? That last part, that's no. That's not genuine. You don't like the dragon, and you're not rooting for it. That's as the kid said. I like the dragon. Tap. It's like a fucking nba draft just happened i i could see the highlights i put up fucking 18 and 7 in france against france one day it doesn't mean shit to me i need to see it on the fucking hardwood you know why we know you know why we know bob that that was cap because we heard it
Starting point is 00:52:21 in his voice when he said how much he loves that whore. We heard him say, we know what his voice sounds like when he was talking about that whore. So we know that it was not real with the dragon. I like the name Moondancer. All right, I will not, I don't like anything else about the dragon right now. I do like the name Moondancer. I will say that.
Starting point is 00:52:37 It's a great name. And great final two scenes to cap this episode off. We see Damon locked in the room in Harrenhal. He's got the sword in to lock it and it looks like someone's about to barge in it's like oh what the fuck and then he's immediately like walking into another room he leaves and you see someone with white hair and kind of looks like me from behind it's like what's going on here it is millie alcock making her return as young rainiera in a nightmare sequence a dream sequence you could
Starting point is 00:53:06 call it that but he kind of like he sees her fucking sewing the head back on of the baby and they really show it and that was like i was almost like wincing not even really wanting to look i was like oh my god the stitches just made me queasy and then he like comes to in front of this giant tree looks very like one-eyed raven-esque tree and there's a girl there and she's like hey you're gonna die here just so you know walks away all creepy like that crazy but i don't also like that girl's real right she might not be real but is he actually gonna die there one day is she right about that? She's in the, she's in the room when he first walks into that dinner scene and she's, she doesn't drop to her knee.
Starting point is 00:53:51 She's not really like nobody else acknowledges her. I feel like that's in Damon's head. Yeah. I feel like it's like, yeah, like some, like how is it in his head? Is someone in,
Starting point is 00:53:59 that's what I don't know. Is it like a witch type thing? Yeah. That's, that's, you know, they fucked around with witches in Thrones so I don't know if it's just like
Starting point is 00:54:08 his guilt and his whatever and all this manifesting in his mind or if it's like there's actually something there and it's just magical of nature so I don't know what but I mean Rhaenyra I think is a
Starting point is 00:54:23 dream sequence if you will but that and great way to bring her back too yeah but the black haired girl i feel like is like symbolic of something i yeah you're right i didn't even think that like she wasn't there i just assumed she was and was a witch but now the fact that like nobody nobody reacted when she didn't kneel right so like that is a dead giveaway yeah but yeah i did like seeing the gods would or the wherewood trees i think they're called like anytime you show those i'm like this is we're back in thrones but yeah i i don't know if she's trying to think if there are witches of the old gods that could like get inside her if he's just losing his mind.
Starting point is 00:55:05 The small council is saying it's a character. Alice Rivers is saying so it's apparently an important character. So it sounds like... Whether or not she's actually there or it's all just her doing some witch magic, I don't know. I think it's not just a metaphor.
Starting point is 00:55:21 We're doing a rewatch of Sopranos. That whole dream, I'm picking up the symbolism, like the leaky fucking roof. I feel like there's some symbolism in that, the way the swords are guarding the door. I feel like there's a lot of shit like that there. And I love seeing the weirwood trees. Right back to Thrones. I thought it was his wife at first, that woman. The one that he like.
Starting point is 00:55:40 Yeah, the girl that he bashed her head in. Cause she was too ugly. Yeah. I went back and watched that MJ in the chat. She, her horse just went up, broke, broke the bag. It was sympathy.
Starting point is 00:55:57 He was, he was just sending it quick. MJ in the chat does say where would trees cause crazy dreams and hallucinations. So was it just that he walked up to the tree and it was almost like a drug hit him? And that makes sense. LSD, a bad trip or something like that. And then the final scene, which we teased before, Clem is basically in the setting of it.
Starting point is 00:56:15 Now, Rainier tells the white worm she wants to meet with Allison face to face. And they're like, how are we going to do this? How are we going to sneak you in? And they're like, we're gonna have to sneak you in via a fishing boat and like a disguise like as long as you cover up the hair and don't dress like a queen people are not going to pay attention to you as they're setting this up i was like oh my god next week is going to be awesome we're going to see her sneak in we're going to see them meet face to face next week i did not think we were getting it here and when they started walking in it was the uh great sept is
Starting point is 00:56:45 that what it's called yeah that was that's what cersei eventually blows up one day right blows up and everything yeah as she starts walking in there i'm like oh shit we're getting it it's happening now the tension in that like the music and the way it was shot i was like on the edge of my seat thinking like she's gonna get caught they did that really really well like i i i was like on the edge of my seat thinking like she's gonna get caught they did that really really well like i i i was you know thinking like maybe maybe she's not gonna make it in like i know she was gonna make it in but i was like the way that they were that old guy was following her and then you know a couple like some people were coming out with the guards it was that was very well done she had the knife in the sleeve too that was a good shot
Starting point is 00:57:25 where you see it and you're like oh fuck like if shit goes down here she's ready i mean even the way she begins where she's like you know if i scream it's like i'm sure your guards will get me right after i kill you and then she's like and then what happens what the fuck that was a bad start i'm sorry can you go back to the beginning please yeah if you're team green how do you fucking look yourself in the mirror you got team black's queen going into king's landing fucking dressed up right into and the heart of the fucking lion's den goes right face to face with your queen your queen's like what am i gonna do you're surrounded by all your people fucking queen ranara man what a fucking dude she's a she's a fucking gangster i can't decide whether
Starting point is 00:58:05 as we were saying earlier you you could probably walk around these these cities and no one would know you so in that regard it it's uh it's believable in the other regard it seemed that a little like they just like threw a fucking hood on her like clem and she was able to just like get right up to the queen like you know a little bit like uh rushed and she was able to just like get right up to the queen, like a little bit like rushed and just, they, you know, happened immediately the same way Eric and Eric just happened immediately last week.
Starting point is 00:58:31 But, but that like Rainera is, she has done it all. She has exhausted every option. She fucking snuck into the heart of the kingdom to say face to face, let's not do this. So like whatever else comes now it's like all right now now you know this is just cause here um but boy what a fucking what a bad move by allison just
Starting point is 00:58:55 just shut your mouth don't give any extra details just say he changed his mind when she said that shit she's like oh i i, I almost wanted to be sure. Did anybody hear that? She's like, did you fucking say the prince that was promised? Is that the words he said? And then Allison, oh, my God. Olivia Cooke, is that her name? She was so good in this scene, telling the whole story with her eyes,
Starting point is 00:59:20 even as she's kind of denying it. No, he changed his mind. It's too late for that. Her eyes say oh fuck i fucked up yeah like she goes she goes agon the conqueror yes and they're both tearing up in the moment and like the way that they played that was so good it felt so massive it to borrow a term from mma it was a big fight feel you got that like oh shit these two are back in the ring together and who knows when they're going to be face to face
Starting point is 00:59:51 next but yeah ray uh allison hits her with the it's too late it's it's kind of the you're not wrong but we've made our bet at this point allison is like the football player that knows he didn't catch the ball. He's like, get the next snap off so they can't. Yeah. And the acting by both of their faces, like, just like there was like a couple seconds was like, holy shit, like it just clicks for both of them. It was awesome.
Starting point is 01:00:16 But like, so now there's a lot of there's a lot of things that you can justify that have unfolded along the way. But ultimately you started this war, bitch, you started this whole fucking war because if you just, you know,
Starting point is 01:00:32 you would have been, you know, you would have been mad about my bastard kids and you would have had a gripe about your son being, you know, the blood and maybe he should be on and you would, but you would have just lived out your life a little bit disgruntled and there wouldn't have been a full blown dragon civil war all because you made
Starting point is 01:00:50 up this fucking lie. So, you know, fuck off. I do. I think that this at the heart of the show for me is Alison and Rainera and they've kind of mirrored each other in good ways and bad ways. And this to me is like a clear,
Starting point is 01:01:06 like Rainier is good. You are an asshole. You fuck this whole thing up. The thing is though, the thing that fucks me up is every time I come back to him, like, but she technically heard it and just, you know,
Starting point is 01:01:17 perceived it obviously. No, she said. Like he did say something and I fucking hate the greens. You don't think so? I think that, I think that she knows like i think she's like he did say the name like i don't think she thinks in her i don't know though
Starting point is 01:01:31 she was surprised she seemed like almost surprised tonight when she put it together it almost seemed like a oh fuck yeah but i think that's like a costanza it's not a lie if you believe it i think she's been saying this and saying this and saying this. Like in the moment when he said it, I think it was very like, I'm going to jump on this opportunity here. Not, oh, I think he actually changed his mind. Her entire like basis for claiming the throne is the note from succession where, what does it say?
Starting point is 01:02:01 Like Tom with like a question mark or the underline or something. Is it underlined or crossed through? Her entire claim of the throne like a question mark or the underline or something? Is it underlined or crossed through? Her entire claim of the throne is a cross out or an underline. That's what her claim is. And there's a million other things that say no fucking chance he wants him to take over for him. But she's like, no, he said the name Aegon and Prince of those promise. It is fucking basically death now. So it is one of those things.
Starting point is 01:02:21 I think she believes it. But I think now if you put her to a polygraph I think the day before Put her to a polygraph She's like nope he wanted it Now she'd be like She wouldn't pass it I don't think Yes I agree
Starting point is 01:02:31 I agree with you guys Clem, Robbie Because she was so shocked That Otto already had plans For it to take over When she's like I just talked to him He actually he died
Starting point is 01:02:43 But he said it was Aegon And they're like yeah We gotta take care of And she's like The just talked to him he actually he died but he said it was agon and they're like yeah well you yeah we've got to take care of and yeah he's like the coronation's tomorrow by the way but here's a flyer yeah that's that's the best part like if otto heard this now he'd be like all right cool we're just gonna undo everything because my fucking grandsons are morons they can't run this shit like even otto has turned against his own fucking family he'd probably go in there take over just promise you won't murder us and you just have the fucking throne because shit's about to get bad so you guys you think you think allison honestly was like she really believed that he wanted agon to be the king i think so yeah i never got that vibe because i think it was like
Starting point is 01:03:22 so he never said it like right near his sense like she gave his life was it was all about me he reaffirmed it like a million times and then i think she just like saw this like sliver of a door open and worked her way in but i think the chat is right we got emily and kevin in the chat both saying kind of the same thing emily says she was looking for proof and took it kevin says she heard what she wanted to hear yes i mean like she did in the back of her mind like she wanted to hear that and then she heard it and she was almost like oh my god it happened but it wasn't like i don't think it was an honest like guys he told me and like i really mean it i think it was like uh he said the name he said the name he said the name yeah yeah two feet name. Yeah. Two feet inbounds, catches the ball, but does he have control with the feet inbounds?
Starting point is 01:04:06 That's the problem, Kev. Now she's realizing incomplete. Right. Is there any chance Team Black can lure her over to this side? There was. You know, I got little Darth Vader vibes of like, all right, we didn't pull him to the light side yet, but she knows what she did was wrong she
Starting point is 01:04:25 knows that she was wrong in the first place now maybe she thinks we went too far at some point i don't know because kids are dying and babies are getting beheaded but i don't know it would be sweet if she came over and teamed up allison going to nwo wolfpack i mean that would be crazy and at that point like who's there to run team green, I guess, like Cole and whatnot, but like, I don't know. At the end of this, when she walked away, I was like. Team green is fucked without Alex. Literally team green.
Starting point is 01:04:55 That's her fucking house. That'd be the best part. And without, if Otto was there, they could maybe survive, but without either high tower, you're fucked. Yeah. You've got a gone running shit. Laris trying to hold everything together. Don't worry, guys. The hand of the king will take care of this.
Starting point is 01:05:12 Sir Christopher with the dumbass haircut. And I mean, what would he do? He can't go down on Allison for 24 hours a day anymore. He's got the father. He's got the father. Oh, he's going to's got the father with her too oh he's gonna get in yeah that was uh house
Starting point is 01:05:29 of the dragon at season two episode three i saw some people in the beginning of the episode when we started recapping it in the chat saying like boring episode i really hated it this season's boring i feel completely opposite like i genuinely loved tonight's episode i think there are you know some some things that are not like perfectly executed right now with the last couple episodes but i think people have like forgotten how to watch tv i don't know if it's like the rise of streaming and on demand and reality and like everything is tiktok and all that but like you do need to set things up you do need to have uh you know storytelling and plot development and all that but like you do need to set things up you do need to have uh you know storytelling and plot development and all that sort of shit now you know game of thrones the
Starting point is 01:06:11 first time around did it like perfectly even just watching the first couple episodes it was like they did it all in such an engaging way where they're laying the foundation but it's all gripping this has been you know a couple things i thought like that that that weird you know there's a couple filler scenes with the jamming people in here and there but you know we're we're this is good television and next week i think it'll be a big payoff this is the dance of dragons this is what we're all waiting for now when i hope they don't do though i also don't want it to just be a battle episode as much as i'm saying give me dragons i don't want to just planks and clinking fucking swords and fire and like no no dialogue and no plot and all that so i'm hoping next week is a good balance of both and really delivers as like a halfway point let me clarify too when i said i want more like i want dragons like i'm fine this episode you don't need dragons every episode you
Starting point is 01:07:00 don't we haven't got a lot of dragons or at least causing carnage it's just don't keep showing me like oh dragons are here. They cause chaos. That's it. At some point, I need to see dragons. Sounds like next episode, though, we're getting our payoff for the first half of the season, which we're already halfway through after the next episode. So I'm feeling good about the season.
Starting point is 01:07:16 I'm feeling good about tonight's episode. People are going to hate it. I mean, people are like this with Good Thrones episodes, too, right, Kev? True. Yeah, I mean, I said there was three things I didn't like about last week's episode. like this with good thrones episodes too right gab like back in the day yeah i mean i i i said there was uh three things i didn't like about last week's episode and you know it was immediately met with the the fan boys and girls of the world who just like you know there are some people who just it can do no wrong in their eyes and you know that we we did that with game of stools the first time
Starting point is 01:07:41 around saying that season eight wasn't going very well and they all jumped down our throats and then a few weeks later everyone was like oh yeah those episodes sucked and I was like remember when you told me to burn you were going to kill my family because you didn't like my takes on this and now you all fucking agree with me you can also like a TV show and not love every single
Starting point is 01:08:00 thing about it at all times I wish I could have seen Trent's face when Rhaenyra was in the dream I'd be like what the fuck single thing about it at all times. I wish I could have seen Trent's face when Ranera was in the dream. It's like, we've gone past these time jumps. Our poor, sweet little Trent. Everyone was puking because there was a little baby's neck slit
Starting point is 01:08:16 and he just did the old Trent look. Also, real quick, MVP, LVP for the episode? I hate to say it, but my MVP goes to Laris. I was going to say it too. Fucking, what, maybe 120 seconds on screen total and did the most damage. LVP.
Starting point is 01:08:40 He also became part of the small council. He got Master Whispers. That's a big jump And just two minutes on screen Agon became king The day he shouted out The club fight That's king shit right there
Starting point is 01:08:56 You have to fucking get dirty His dad didn't like it He's like no fuck that You're my guy And that might save his reign as king My LVP is that girl giving bad heads to that fake dick. So is it the girl or the dick that's getting LVP, or both? The dick.
Starting point is 01:09:14 The dick. I would give my LVP to the two fucking old Muppets in Team Black. Dude, I was thinking they're like the two old guys, those two fucking guys. Go to war! MVP, I would give to Allison for like Clem laid it out at the end. Like, Team Black, I'm fucking riding with this queen. Or not Allison, Rainier.
Starting point is 01:09:40 I'm sorry. Riding with Team Rainier, of course. Clem's MVP is his beloved whore. Who is your LVP? Hey, man, she's probably the only thing keeping this realm afloat because if that dude wants to just turn everyone to ash, that's a good point. She's the most powerful. The day that Amon is, like, you know, fucking running wild,
Starting point is 01:09:55 everybody's fucked. So just let him, you know, lay on her boobs every night because otherwise it's trouble. I'll give LVP to Gwaine. Gwaine, got it. Because he gavene fucking kristen cole like a moment of like oh i'm good at this shit you know like by fucking up you made him think like he's like a good manager when he's an absolute making kristen cole be the cool guy in a scene is almost impossible remember i said you have to uh you have to introduce nazis in order to like well it was gwayne is the nazis of being cool that's how fucking lame he is
Starting point is 01:10:28 i was gonna say so laris is my mvp for that scene and then lvp it's got to be aiming because if your brother walks in on you just fetal position ass out on like you never live that down you have no power for the rest of you. You know what? Let me, let me counter that though. If you do get caught by your older brother laying like a baby with your butt out, just turning around full cock out,
Starting point is 01:10:55 being like, whatever guys, you can do whatever you want. I'm naked, man. Like, you know, totally undo it.
Starting point is 01:11:01 But it's just like, yeah, you don't have power over me anymore. I don't give a fuck. He should have done the Feidelberg. Feidelberg saw a guy in the bathroom once just go like, I've got the smallest dick in the room. Alright.
Starting point is 01:11:18 Again, we are going to be on the My Mom's Basement feed going forward.

If you are doing a rewatch of the original Game of Thrones, there are a couple scenes that give away a ton of this stuff. Big events at the end. Kev, I'll send you a screenshot of what scene it is.
