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 My Mom's Basement and Barstool Sports and the Game of Stools House of the Dragon, Season 2 finale show. Just wrapped up, and based on everything I've seen across social media and our chat, this is going to be a polarizing one to talk about, to say the least. We got a lot of teasing. We got a lot of buildup.

But we didn't get a lot of payoff in this episode. KFC. Are you going to tell me this is polarizing because you're on the other side of this. Did you like this episode? It's I, I thought it was a good episode, but not a good finale. First of all, congratulations.

Second of all, did you, by the end of it, I felt like I had blue balls. Clem tweeted. I have dragon blue balls. And that's not, it was a fine episode, but not a finale.

It had penultimate vibes. Last week didn't have penultimate vibes. This week did. It felt like, okay, now I'm ready for the finale. We have been hoodwinked, bamboozled, led astray, run amok, and flat out deceived. I was told at the end of season one, which had its moments, that season two

was when shit was going to pop off, dragons were going to be dancing, homes were going to be burning, and flat out chaos for the throne was going to take place. And I got a full-blown filler episode for an entire season that's never been done. HBO does it again.

I can't believe what i just witnessed and i swear to god i can't take like i trust the small council in the chat i trust the book readers they say this is awesome in the books i can't do this for like i i do it like i i there's a strong chance with this bad of a finale and then we have to wait two years for season three. I don't think people are coming back to the show. I think this show's over. I think it's, I think it's a console. No.

Nothing ended up happening. The whole season was just the same thing over and over again, building up to nothing. And just first of all, to start this episode in Essos with a fucking Admiral chick? What the fuck was that? If I go back to another Damon vision, which by the way, if he was going to have that vision, we could have wrapped that up five episodes ago. The best part of this episode was

flashing a White Walker and Danny. That was the only good part. The decision to waste time in Essos in a finale is fucking insanity. The rest of it, maybe we can argue about, like, you liked it, you didn't like it.

Do you like battles? Do you like build-up? Blah, blah, blah, blah. Essos is like, that is a decision from a director or a showrunner or whoever that cannot be defended. Welcome to the show, Ken Jack, by the way. Ken Jack is my guest from the finale. I feel bad because the last episode that came on for was the ending of Game of Thrones.

It was the last episode of Game of Thrones, and now I'm back, and it's the end of this episode. Two back-to-back just ringer episodes. This has been a tough one, dude. This whole season was idling. It was just a car in park. Always. It was just crazy. After the build-up of last season, you would have thought something like, you get episode of Rook's Arrest Battle, right? Which is crazy. After the buildup of last season, you would have thought something like, you get episode

of a Rick's Arrest battle, right? Which is insane. That's the highlight of this season, no question. But I think, and someone put this in the chat a second ago, and I completely agree with it. They aired these episodes out of order. Yes. The last episode should have been this episode.

It's fucking crazy to end on that. Right. Yeah. It's like, I've been envisioning a world where hbo was like oh fuck we aired the wrong episode last week i mean it's that baffling and as good as season one was everything making sense and being perfectly balanced and building like allison and rainier having that conversation like yo we already had the conversation that the ship has sailed, literally and figuratively. And now we're trying to do it again when Aemon is already off his rocker and Aegon's a fucking corpse.

And now you want to come and be like, let's not fight? What? And Ulf fucking, I'm done with the Ulf jokes. Like, the whole thing. Ugh. That guy. Started with Princess Rhaenys. And her.

And what was so good about Rhaenyra. And Alicent. Opposing each other. Ended completely. So far away from that. Oh my god. Terrible. We have never needed a surprise episode.

In the history of shows. They drop it. And we get oh, there's the battles. The ships are colliding. Everything's popping off now. We need that so goddamn bad. I'm going to put it out now. Sunday, August 4th, 2024. Season three will premiere, probably 2027.

If we're even still alive at that point, if we haven't nuked each other in the real world, that's a legacy episode for the entire Thrones universe. i got seven more spinoffs coming our way they gotta deliver some fucking blood and fire in episode one or i am out i'm out boys i am clem r martin because this is what i dress up as when it's nothing but story and hey i know there's great stories i know that this all built up to the life where they are. This isn't what Thrones is about, though. It's about Ned's head getting chopped off. It's about Dany laying waste to people with fire. Don't give me all the politics. We love the politics. The acting in that scene

with Alison Renner was incredible, but you gotta give us at least tits. If you're not gonna give us tits. This is not even one of those like, oh, you guys just need the battles like you're you're fucking brain dead no there needs to be like a a confrontation we just kept like edging towards a conversation that never happened it doesn't even need to be in the form of a battle i don't need to i mean i would like to see it but if it happened off camera but there was some sort of

conclusion or something that made sense fine that's fine but like there was just nothing and i don't i mean the the other bastard with corliss like not now not fucking now dude episode two conversation along with the bravo shit so shit so much of this stuff was episode two and three, not fucking finale material. That dumb bitch watching in the fucking island looking for her dragon. I'm like, if she doesn't get her dragon. Oh my god, that was crazy. Murder her right now.

I was borderline Kim Bauer fighting the cougar in the mountains in 24. I was like, what? Every time they cut to her, it was just like, okay, she's drinking water. Now she's dying. Okay, there's a dragon in the mountains in 24. I was like, what? Every time they cut to her, it was just like, okay, she's drinking water. Okay, now she's dying. Okay, there's a dragon in the air.

I thought when you said drinking water, I thought you were being sarcastic. That literally was an entire scene. It was her drinking water. It was like, it reminded me of Luke on Hoth. I thought they were going to like have to cut something open and slide her into a cow or something. Dude, so much circular stuff this season like everything like if even you could just start

with damon and harrenhal just doing the same for eight episodes straight i mean the sun the bastard in the sky the boat that never left the harbor that boat was getting fixed for 20 years it just left at the last episode you know what the name of that boat is? That boat is this season. The show that never was. The show that never was. Honestly. You give me the name House of the Dragon to start with and I'm like,

oh boy, what do we have cooking here? You give me two seasons worth of build up and then we're just still fucking jerking off and nothing's coming out. God damn. That is the most totaled boat in the history of boats. i can't believe how long that boat is being repaired for and they're setting up for like the big showdown is gonna be when this boat finally sets sail with this new bitch i don't give a fuck about that

well yeah they set up the new girl way too late like do this you know a couple episodes ago you should have done this in the penultimate at the very least. Let us know who this lady is. But yeah, let me ask you this. If they if they nailed the finale tonight, if they delivered an episode, let's say as good as the battle episode where Rainey's died. What would you like? How would you view this season overall? Would you be like that?

Because I feel like week to week week i've been really enjoying it but when you do look at the season as a whole now that it's all concluded like ken jack said a lot of it just went in circles not a lot he's wanted to tying something up can can undo a lot of that you know what i mean yeah sticking the landing can go a long way if because you know like if you're right at the edge and then it all comes together, but if it just ends up going further apart or just more of the same bullshit, it's like, well, you know, there was always a little bit in the back of my mind of like, we're building towards something. So, you know, that episode was good. There was some shit that was slow, the visions of Damon and, you know, like this and that,

the little, little things that I thought I was going to end up being like those were nitpicky because in the end we we got what we wanted well in the end those end up being it looks even worse in hindsight yeah so like it's only one episode but you're only talking about one out of eight first of all not that many episodes and it's the most important one and you know if you so to me that's worth you know almost 40 you know what i mean it's like it's like the final grade it's like and you totally bonded i mean that has to be the worst season finale i've ever seen so you know no it's not as bad as it's not as bad as the final thrones episode you're right you're right well but okay what what was so bad about the final thrones

episodes was undoing the greatness this as just in a vacuum of like what happened it did not happen like it really might be it was that bad if this was the penultimate i think i would be happy with it though yes if we flipped it yeah or if it was enough it happened throughout this season where it's like when danny has all the ships and we're like oh boy we're finally going to westeros and it felt like we were gonna get something else but there was just so much just chasing your own tail and to the people in the chat that are saying nobody hates game of thrones like game of thrones fans or up it's all takes exposed when this show gets good i need it to get good good now. I want it to be good. Don't give me that.

That's all just bulls**t. It's malarkey. It's malarkey. That happened in season eight too. I remember doing Game of Stools initially and being like, this kind of sucks. And everyone was like, nah, you're crazy. And then time, you know, time goes by and everyone comes around on it and they all realize it sucks.

Right now what's happening is there's a f**k ton of people who love this show, love this series, love this world, want this to be good, need this to be good, and will not admit that it was not good. You're going to come around on it over the course of the next two years, but you've got nothing to watch. The mini-series spinoff that's only an egg or something right yeah like like stuff that's really not going to satiate you you will admit that all of this was just they just it was like two episodes four times in a row it was like we just did two episodes four times you haven't advanced like really at all physically advanced maybe like a two weeks of real time since the ending maybe like we're in the same exact spot although i hate i don't want to play like devil's advocate too much there is

stuff and i feel like me it'll be good or good to talk about this too the stuff that was good about this season i think the rook's rest battle is fucking sick right great sequence i think the dragon pit scene from last episode was fucking awesome i think blood and cheese great sequence totally shitting all over damon great sequence eric versus eric i think the ending of last episode all that stuff is very good and it's but it's like a collection of things that are in that in the broader scale like there's just no momentum really heading into this next season which kind of bums me out because like you like you're saying like people people will tune it okay they're gonna they will but like you know you you it's like fool me once fool me twice eventually it's like you know i i

thought with season one i was like okay we're back in good hands we're on a book we have source material and then this this fell season. Yeah. I'm also curious for the book readers, how much this followed the books and how much they went off on their own here. Like, it seems like if they were following the books, weird spot to pick as the finale. So that's what I heard from book readers is that this book's actually not as long as all the other books.

And so they felt like they stretched it out. And then HBO is trying to hide this thing where they just don't have the budget for this. They're trying to say we needed to end it short because of storytelling. And it's like, I don't buy that. I don't buy that you're going to cut a whole season short and have a shitty finale to set up something that's going to happen in two years that's just not how the world of television works so i think they're following the books i just don't think their time like like the amount of time they're spending on each thing it does not seem to make sense they needed to recut the ending to like hell's bells by ac dc just to like fire everyone up a little bit

i started late i was texting the group i didn't even know if i was going to get to to like Hell's Bells by ACDC just to like fire everyone up a little bit. Just a visceral reaction. I started late. I was texting the group. I didn't even know if I was going to get to watch the episode. I came home. I didn't have any internet or couldn't stream anything. So I was probably like 10 minutes or 15 minutes behind you guys. So towards the end when they were just doing

the montage of like all of the armies coming together, I started to fast forward because I was like, I got to catch up with the guys. And then the premise came out. I was like, oh, no, no, no. I must have just fast forward too fast. I was like, no, that's the fucking ending. I mean, I was flabbergasted.

I couldn't believe it. That was already the end of it. They ended it on like a next season on House of the Dragon. Yeah, like one of those montages. Yeah. So bad. They ended it on like a next season on House of the Dragon. Yeah, like one of those montages. Yeah. I mean, just so bad.

Robbie, I said it myself. It's like when you're watching the Raw after WrestleMania and you expected all this shit to happen and nothing happens. You know at 10.58 all the way to 11.03 because there's three extra minutes which are always so fucking good. It's the best five minutes of basically the year on Raw. And I was like, they're going to have to do that here and they gave us nothing. They gave us a commercial for, hey,

two years from now, you guys get Raw and WrestleMania back. And then stupid iPhone game. A commercial for that fucking thing. Kit Harington's down bad, dude. He's got bills to pay. I was going to say I'm not going to download it. I'm going to download it, put one star, and say the House of the Dragon season two finale.

Suck it. And then I'm going to do it again. It's so funny you brought up the secret episode. I think me and you are like, we talk about secret episodes so much, and they're not a thing. Somebody just did one, didn't they? They did one for the Sandman on Netflix. Oh, okay. Because I was going to say,

it's not a real thing. I guess it is, but for the most part, it's just not logical and money. There's a million reasons why not to. But the day that somebody does it, for real, on a real show like this, the day that we're sitting, it's 9 o'clock on a Sunday, and I'm watching

fucking baseball, and all of a sudden, the internet starts to clamor. Are you watching HBO right now? Where is it? Bullshit. This isn't it. This isn't it. Like, it will be.

The person who has the balls to do it, it will be incredible. And, man, wouldn't this be a time to do it. If I had the balls to do it, I would make this episode suck. Yeah. I would make it bad so I draw all the losers like me in and then fuck me in the face, but it's just not going to happen. If they do that, egg on my face, I will smash a carton of 12 eggs in my face. Next week in life, 18 eggs in my face. Let's go. You want to go through the episode a little bit here?

Like we kind of discussed already, it begins with Tyle and Lannister bargaining with the Triarchy, the pirates. And again, wasting time with this in the finale. But the scene itself, if you just look at it in a vacuum, I thought was pretty funny. I loved the running joke of them calling him the wrong name the entire episode. Tymon, Tyrod. Like, they just kept calling him. Tyrod Taylor. Yeah.

Tyrod. Tyrod Taylor. Reminded me a little bit of the Asgardians with Rocket. Just being like that rabbit, that dog. Like, um, and I, it was funny seeing him get emasculated in front of everyone by,

by the chick that steps up. What was her name? It was like, uh, Shirok. Oh, Lohar. Lohar.

Shirok. Guys, we don't even know this bitch's name. That's how fucking stupid it was. Viking chick. But yeah. And they mud wrestled. That was another thing how much time

did we have to spend on mud wrestling in the finale yeah we know where this is gonna go he's gonna win her over in the face that you had issues with that Italy versus Algeria boxing match you have issues big time yeah that was crazy he decked her in the face and everyone had that reaction

of like how could he slap oh my god I'm looking back at my notes and i'm like it was such a happier time when i thought we were gonna get some shit i'm like i'm so happy you don't deal with these freaks and he's so anymore i thought that was the only scene that was gonna be out there and we were gonna have to think about this ever again and then it's like nope you're gonna go back have a mud wrestling match again robbie what time is the co-ed mud wrestling match on the Monday after? It's 920.

It's 920 p.m. It's not even on Raw. It's Sunday night heat. Yeah, it's Sunday night heat. Yes. We see Amon burnt up sharp point. That would have been nice to see. I assume they didn't have the CG budget for that scene.

Time out. Time out. These fucking guys didn't renew the NBA for billions of dollars, the one product everyone loved. They can't pay Dragons and they can't pay for the NBA. What is the point of Max existing in this world without the NBA and Dragons? It's crazy. And that was so bad that I was like, wait, what the fuck?

There's one thing when they did the battle of of the black wells and the Brackens. Like it was very clear what what happened off camera. And this I was like, wait, what's burning? Did he do that? Like to just have that be. That's that's up there with Danny going mad clean for me. I was just like, wait, what happened? He just flamed the city and we didn't even really fucking like know what's going on here.

That hits on me for not paying attention fully. But I was like, that feels like something that needs to be addressed more than just a club foot walks in and says, Hey, your brother's burning cities. Like, wait, show me something. Robbie.

Also, you know what? But Batgirl didn't die for that. We should, we should be able to see. We should be able to see Batgirl. They fucking shelved that movie. Michael Keaton,

Brendan Fraser directed by the Bad Boys guys. Also, Nick Hammy just sent in the group chat a great point. We never saw this fucking thing. What if there's a secret episode? Oh, no. You boys are starting to believe that. Let's go.

Where the fuck is that from? Yo, Tyler Hoffman just said it perfectly. The episode should have started with him burning the city. Yo, you set the tone for that finale. We're going to make the best finale just talking this through right now, boys. All right, we got the first scene. This is one of those things where I need some film student from NYU to recut this whole thing. And it would be awesome.

If it starts out with Amon having one of those scenes where he's like, like, like Allison said, you're embarrassed. You're you're you know, you're doing this out of all your pride. And we see that he's flaming people. Oh, we've come in so hot. Instead, I legitimately thought I was watching the wrong episode. I pushed the pause. Is this season two? Episode eight?

What? What is this? Yeah. By the way, they think the big point of saying like yeah amin ran away with this tail tuck between his like who the fuck knew that who the who could possibly have seen that he just ran back like that's a huge point to just to just have be told by a fucking piece of dialogue that is insane-Mond performance in this episode? Wait, hang on. Wait, fucking hang on.

They did not even show him seeing the fucking, you know, oh, fuck. There's too many of them. I got to go. How do you not show that moment? How do you show just like a flicker of fire that he got mad and claimed the whole city? What? That is insanity. I don't know how would you know that ken jack i have no idea how they would possibly know that no one else is fine next to

him with like a fucking camera crew or something like no no no knows what happened i don't know if this is a compliment or not because i think the guy who plays amon actually does a good job as amon but during this episode i thought to myself i think his name is ewan mitchell i was like if they made the star wars prequel trilogy now he would be a good anakin he's actually good at turning evil yeah yeah that was like my thought during this episode i was like he's coming off a little hayden christiansen yeah we bought um we bought an amon wig for this show after season episode three, and it just sat in his bag for five fucking episodes,

and I just never had a chance. How do you have a character that good, and not one time in the second half of the season, he has a moment where it's like, that's the dude from the episode. Crazy. Crazy. He did have a cool hop on his horse last episode. That's a cool thing he's gotten.

That's true. Ken Jack, as a green guy, I mean, you're with us lockstep on basically all this, right? Because obviously for the people who don't know, Ken Jack's team green. We're team black guys. But, I mean, at this point, it's just we're all House of the Dragon guys more than anything. Yeah. That is pointing out, too, there was a scene where he turned back. But I saw the scene.

They played it in the post-episode, too. It wasn't like you saw the dragons from so fucking far away they could have been burned. They could it in the post-episode too. It wasn't like... You saw the dragons from so fucking far away they could have been burned. They could have been seagulls. Right, right. It wasn't like... That could have been like a focal point

of the whole episode. There needed to be a moment where him and Vhagar think that they're about to run the fucking world and then these guys descend on them at Aemon's entire self-worth caves because he's had this fucking this thing in his head for so long from a bully boy up until now and now he realizes it's not it's not it might not come true they've got all the dragons in the fucking world that is that's

what i'm talking about when people are like oh not enough battles for you dummy no something like that where we watched a character who like we we fucking came to fear and and so complex cersei shame crumble in real time not cersei in the shame sequence that's not a big battle that's like a mentally broken character scene that's incredible yeah um then we get the larry scene comes in meets up with agon tells him about the sharp point temper tantrum and agon's like all right prop me up on the throne when he gets back i'll arrest him and he's like all right yeah and then what then dude like he has the biggest fucking dragon like you did you not think about that for even a second with your half-burned brain and agon cock i wish my dick would explode if you're watching that

episode again or blowing my dick up in a fire fight i would probably blow my dick up brutal he's just like my cock is destroyed he's like what he's like it's destroyed did they tell you it's gone like a sausage at the barbecue it's just it's like the fellow larry david did they tell you it's gone like a barbecue it's destroyed it's like the first scene and then uh dave the little dicky show when he's like trying to warn the doctor before he even takes his pants and he's like i just gotta warn you what this thing even looks like and laris tries to convince him he's like you gotta leave a legacy bro like you have an opportunity here you can't just wither away and die like be agon the fucking one that brings people together be agon the conqueror but you know not the conqueror

rebuilder yeah yeah let's say the perils of drunk driving is you just take one look at amand it's gonna explode at cock don't drive your dragon yeah it's a great point uh then we get the olf scene which it was a little too much when olf is just being a hardo at dinner and it was like funny at first but again it just we were all rooting for you we were yeah the whole time first of all i was thinking you can't do that much you can do he's a's a commoner, he doesn't know, like, the Jussara stuff was okay, or he's like, oh, fuck, you're the prince, like, oh, shit, my bad. That was fine. On

and on, like, once the queen says to you, like, hey, shut the fuck up, you don't keep going with that shtick. So that, I felt, was very like, just unrealistic in the first place. And then, the whole time, I'm thinking, Ulf's either gonna blow it for Team Black, or he's going to be the unsung hero, or maybe

he's going to flip or something crazy. Oh, nothing. Nothing. No. I'm like, cut these dicks. When you talk back to the Queen, cut their heads off. Dragon will find a new rider. Find another. There's a thousand bastards. Just get another one. He'll pick another one. That's what I'm at at this point.

Yeah, seriously. If there's that many bastards, this one sucks. So, you know know flame a whole bunch of other ones to find a new guy his dragon's got low standards real low that dragon is like a girl in college with low self-esteem who's been dumped and cheated on and she just wants a boyfriend she's like you're all brought home that dragon all his boys were like we got a grenade yeah no it's a reverse i think when the dragon brought back off all the other dragons yeah yeah chose the dumb one rainera meets with corliss he warns her about all the other dragons he's like trying to lay out and we got this guy and there's another unknown rider over here and they've got an unknown rider and dream fire helena's dragon what if they bring her into the

fold and he tells her he renamed the sea snake you know the the queen who never was nice if we saw the ship do anything like like if if he would have fucking went out in this scene i was kind of like oh i love corliss but i'm a little worried about him now because he's like everything i do is for her now i'm like all right he's gonna fucking go down in flames here i thought we were at least gonna get at least one big death this episode not one the finale we got one big death the whole season really and i mean we get the kid early on but rainice is the only like true character we got that died right yeah pretty much like you know we thought we thought we had one and we didn't so a whole thing is just a tease corliss is already that dude though when he speaks i'm like whatever he says listen to because if you

don't that's gonna be the reason you lose the war or the battle are you just spitting facts on her non-stop and naming the ship after your dead wife is badass as fuck she was badass i love that uh at the same point i like how raniera was like oh thank you he's like i'm not doing it for you i'm doing yeah shut the fuck up yeah i do like you like one of my sons and there's a lot of weird shit she's done to this family and that's another thing with her and you know how i ride for my girl raniera still being like oh i thought getting the dragons was going to be enough for them to call off the war. The war is not getting called off. And you say that to Allison in multiple seasons, multiple episodes this season. You know the war is going to happen.

It's too late. So stop thinking that crazy fucking Aemon is just going to go, oh, I got too many dragons. You win. Send the raven. We, you're the queen. It's not going to go, oh, I got too many dragons. You win. Send the raven. We, you're the queen. It's not going to happen. Yeah. She thinks she's going to get a snow day

and you're in third period. Yeah. You're at school. 10 to 12 inches and you got a flurry. You got to go to fucking school, bitch. Yes. Yeah. Then we get the Daemon preparing to march scene

and Alfred finally arrives at harrenhal like with two fucking minutes left damon's about to he's on his way out the door and alfred shows up thank god they go out by the tree they hear a voice go traitor traitor yeah and he tells damon like we need a king that's what we need like rainier is nice you know women can you know vote now and that's nice but like we need a king here. And Simon Strong goes and tells Rainier right away. So Rainier hops on her dragon. She's like, all right, let's fucking roll.

Bro code. Bro code, Simon. Come on, dude. Yeah, there was no bro code with Simon at all. You know what? Simon was in this season where we had a lot of circles. Simon was an unsung hero. I know we said we liked him, but I really did enjoy him this season where we had a lot of circles, Simon was an unsung hero. I know we said we liked him,

but I really did enjoy him this season. If there's ever a time to break bro code, it's probably when someone is, you know, going to go against the queen and like really fuck things up for the whole realm. So you get a pass on that one. Yeah.

Did you guys actually hear trader? Cause I read it and I was like, I didn't hear that. And I was like, I didn't hear it either. And'm like i'm gonna have your subtitles on they just forgot that that's gonna be like the starbucks i'm like oh yeah we forgot that we'll edit in like in post yeah that was like i want to go back and like put my volume on 100 and hear if there's a whisper of some sort because i definitely didn't hear it they're gonna go back and take my whisper

from this episode and just put it i get my full right that was a good one let't hear it. They're going to go back and take my whisper from this episode and just put it. I get my full rights. That was a good one. Let me hear it again, Bob. Traitor. Nah, that's good. Mystical. Speaking of mystical things, Helena, we get a little bit of Helena this episode. She tells Alison she was happier before she was the queen.

She's like, I don't want any of this shit, really. And then Eamon walks in, grabs her by the arm, and is like, let's fucking go. You're going to war. Starts yelling at her. And and then Allison grabs him and she's like not like this I don't want to win the war like this very wrestling vibes when someone grabs a steel chair when the referee's down and then like Vicky Guerrero's like we can't do this Eddie um but it was uh a good scene where I forgot that all of these people are, it's like a mother and her two kids. It's her mother and mother-in-law.

Yeah. It's weird. That's a big time. Like, you know, your sister gets scared. Like stop doing that. Yeah.

I have to admit Helena is like, it kind of like, I don't know how it happened again. The attitude, I'm in attitude era. I just watched a documentary on it. So I'm like obsessed with how great it was. There was a point when Mankind just became my favorite wrestler,

despite The Rock, Stone Cold, all these awesome people. Helena's kind of becoming one of my favorite characters. I fucking love her. Yeah, she's good. Because you know what? In a season where there was so much filler, every time she says something, it's super important. Yeah.

Either predicting or whatever, a little bit of war being going on three-eyed raven type shit every time she talks i'm like listen to that because that matters she's all these like peak brand like the best of brand but none of the worst of it so far yeah yes and all these people looking for revenge and you know my throne and this and that it's like uh her fucking son's head got chopped off in front of her and she's like i just want everyone to be cool and happy that's all i want to fly my own dragon. When Allison was like she's the

most deserved of like it was a good line of like she's the girl who deserves this the most and deserves all the bullshit the least and it was like that's a fact. Yeah. The guy who deserves the most bullshit the most is Kristen Cole.

We get Gwaine. He fucking goes up to him with the sword and threaten him in the fucking forest. And Kristen Cole is just emo as shit. He's like, we're all insignificant compared to the dragons. We're all just specks of dust. Very like the sun's going to explode one day. So who cares? Shout out Jack Robbis.

And he's like like we're marching towards our annihilation to die would be a relief this is another scene where it felt like they were almost like oh shit we didn't have a kristen cole scene in the finale we're just gonna end the season with no kristen cole let's throw in him being emo as shit one more time but it didn't have any effect on this episode and him being like you know... Niffing the hanky is gross, dude. Oh, yeah. Nasty work. I mean, like, I do everything

for her because she saved me. It's like, ugh. I know. She didn't like bacon. I had to eat so much pussy. Yeah. There was a moment where I was like, Sir Kristen Cole is the worst, but in a great way as a TV

viewer. And you can't deny it. He's climbing the ladder and he's becoming the hand and he's doing this. And then they just chopped his cock off too and made him this emo boy who's just afraid of dragons. All of a sudden he realized the dragons.

What the fuck did you think Dragon War was going to be, dude? So basically what happened to him is he avoided death by Dragon War. He should have been dead, right? And he's like Jules from Pulp Fiction when he has the epiphany when he missed all those bullets, missed them. And he's like, I'm just going to wander the

earth, leave this all behind. I'm like, if he's going to do the Jules thing and just like wander Westeros, that's a pretty cool arc. I could get behind that. And instead he's just a little bitch and he's shining his sword and we're just like, God damn. And then my wife's like, wait, I think he's gonna un-get him, un-alive himself. And we're like, let's go, Kristen!

That would have been cool too. I don't know. Yeah. Hey, Kristen Cole, you take that sword out, you shine that sumbitch up real nice, turn that dumbass up, and stick it straight up your candy ass um we get jason baylor talking about the new dragon riders and he's all pissed he's sulking

and she tells him suck it up she's like fucking chill out dude you're the fucking prince get on your dragon go make a name for yourself he's literally clayton bigsby the way he talks about bastards dude it's so fucking funny he's like these are the worst scum of the earth pieces of shit it's like every one of these dudes is also a targaryen by at least half so yeah exactly the fucking same you dork that was a fine conversation too but like again should have happened four episodes ago. Like when they were, they,

they, they, they, they've had, that scene has happened again, every two episodes that happens where she's doing something with the blow, the crossbow. And they always have these conversations.

Like we could have done that all in one shot and not fucking wasted time during the finale. It wasn't, it's a good, it's a good conversation. It's a good piece of his character. Just didn't need it there and could have had it before and comes off as whiny

and just filler instead of important. It's like all the pieces of this episode individually are good and work, but when you put them together the puzzle pieces don't fit. Yes. Yes. It's weird. Applied to season two. Chase is a middle manager. He's a. Apply to season two, you know.

Jace is a middle manager. He's a middle manager that is good at talking down to his subordinates like all who fucking suck. Don't get me wrong. But anytime he's at the fucking grown-ups table, he's an absolute zero. And my Jace take from like three episodes ago is aging like a fine fucking wine right now. My Jace take is aging like cheese. Oh, Jace, what do you think we should do in the next battle? Should we fly the dragon? It doesn't matter what you think!

I'm going full attitude. I'm just going full attitude. I feel like Clem is stuck, and he can't get out. He's like, he's in a he's spitting a token. It's 99, boys. It's a good time where I am in this bed right now. Feeling good.

I don't mean to bring you down, but Tylan just sings a song to the Pirates at one point in this episode. I mean, oh my God, that was lunacy. I felt like I was being pranked. I was like this can't be really... Am I watching a fake HBO channel?

This is nuts. A lot of people said last season and this this is nuts yeah a lot of people said uh last season and this season i got a lot of tweets that they think this guy looks like dave they think yeah i can see that um and shirako says she'd be pleased to sail with him after all toast to the sea snake ruining the day they meet again so they've got a little history there and she's like i want you to have my babies and he's like already and i'm thinking like they're about to fucking go to sea what do you mean you want to get pregnant she's like no i want you to fuck all my wives it's like how many wives do you have which again funny scene but like this was a episode five

during the season everything about this episode i don't mean to sound like a broken record just none of it felt like a finale i honestly don't think you should have an ounce of humor in a season finale of Game of Thrones. You don't need it. There's not the time to do that. That was funny. Like, how many you got? I don't know. Fuck them all.

Not now, dude. Not now. That whole crew is like a nightmare for a portion of this country. It's like a fucking, like, they're all dressed in rainbow gear intersex captain they're all blue hair literally blue hair red white like rainbow colored hair it is a nightmare for some people and yet another scene we didn't see that what would have helped the episode it's like oh and here are six wives and here's him fucking them all right now yeah and then the fucking imd rating slowly creeps up a little bit it could have worked it could have worked team black has a little pre-battle dinner again olf being a jack off uh when she lays out the plan they realize a bunch of innocent people

have to die and now i was like all right i'm team black guy but this doesn't sound great and they're like it is what it is and but again what did you think was gonna happen you're going to fucking war with it is war yeah with fire war with fire fire that sprays everywhere we're not you know yeah it kind of reminded me of the seven fishes episode of uh the bear they're all just sitting there all being a fucking asshole and like they're all just like arguing over like that's like well this is such a clear thing what's happening right here like this is war this is war and like i feel like that's an issue they've had with raniera this entire season is like her just like being flip-floppy on everything like oh like i'm fuck you allison at the end of it is always being like i this is it's

in motion it's going but five seconds earlier she's like we don't want to kill anyone that's bad yeah i yeah that that that to me like ran, and then also will send scores of people to their death trying to get Dragon Riders. Yeah. So which fucking isn't, you know? Watch them burn alive. A very big hypocritical flaw in her character arc. And I don't mean to go back to it, but the white worm kiss, after it wasn't paid off in the the slightest it comes off as like a cheap pop at the end of that episode absolutely hey cheap is good sometimes that was that was puppies that was

that was uh yeah it was very long they are you know it sucks uh they can't do the cool stuff in the ring but you see the tits and it's like, okay, well, you know, that worked. I swear to God, that was Emma Darcy's idea. She was pitching that all week. Hey, what if I made out with White Worm and all the writers were like, that doesn't make any fucking sense, but we can't really say no. And then we're like, okay, just put it in there. And we're like, you know, whatever. It kind of reminds me of a, and just like that did this with the Sex and the City, like Cynthia Nixon, who's a gay in real life in sex in the city she was straight but then in the follow-up series

she's like oh actually i'm gay now i'm leaving my husband and my kids to be gay and like in that i'm like oh this is lame but in this so in game of thrones i'm like yes more give me more i i wish there's a deleted scene where like jace comes in and was like mommy mommy i read in this book here that people died when agon conquered westeros a couple people got lit on fire it's like no fucking shit is it like there's sigil like of fire and blood and ass or something like that house's motto for god's sakes and like you know people are like starving with this blockade and it's like it's it's fucking ugly it's already all bad we're not like living in viscera's happy times and you're gonna blow it up it's already blown up that's the thing like

i remember coming into season episode one being like oh it's on that that that you know the kid got fucking killed by a dragon the war has begun and then it was like okay now the war's begun and then we got to episode eight and the war still didn't fucking begin nick also just sent us a good comment from the chat from kenny wally in the chat talk about jace actually being the one to suggest the dragon open casting and then getting mad when his mom did it right that was tough I think the guy like suggesting open marriage. Yeah, exactly. He's like, I'm going to throw up a letter and she blows up in your house. And you're like, wait a minute. I can't believe I just brought Lesnar to.

That's bad writing. That is bad. That is just a bad job. That does not make sense. Speaking of cheap pops, this next scene is just a cheap pop scene, but i loved it it was like great in the way that they used it i thought when alice rivers watches damon sleep

they go out to the courtyard the tree she's like it's time for you to see your fate puts the fucking hand on the tree and we get to see some throne shit we see white walker we see danny with the fucking baby dragons and yes it's just the cheap they want the rick dalton point at the screen i know what that is reaction but they fucking got it out of me and i loved it and i was like oh my god and it makes sense for damon we should have got this earlier in the season but it makes sense now that he realizes he's a small fry in the in the grand scheme of things and he has to fall in line to make sure that now that he has this crazy knowledge, everything, you know, goes the way it has to for the savior of the realm to be Danny. But the problem with that is we know where that ends fucking nowhere.

So that is a little tough. It was a cheap pop and Game of Thrones ended. Awesome. It would be like, fuck. Yeah, but it's like, Oh,

we're literally, I wish she was on the fucking throne at the end of the show I thought for a moment in his vision I thought we were going to maybe get Emilia Clarke was her name when they had a blonde on the throne but you couldn't see her face

and I was like are we going to get Game of Thrones cameo from Danny that would have been crazy that I thought would have been a real pop and for him to realize that's what's coming but you know it's like okay he's like I mean winter is coming in the old language and like knowing that it's just gonna be the brand wagon is like but this also like adds to the issue that they've had in that like the whole series right like they kind of like try to make you empathetic to both raniera and allison like you're supposed to like kind of

like both of them pretty much everyone's been like fuck allison i like raniera and then this whole vision just enforces that because you see in this vision like hey raniera needs to be on the throne in order for this vision to come true and save the entire planet so now we're almost all emphatically on the side of raniera with not a shit given about alice and during any of them and i think the reality from the book readers tell me too is you're really supposed to be like hey both these people suck and i'm supposed to not really rooting versus just kind of observing for both like they both got totally fucked over as young women yeah like the shittiest deck of cards and we're just trying to make good with it and now that's

but we're all just fuck alice and team or near basically you know what i mean like they they built that bias into us sounds like a guy on t3 that regrets his choice right now he should have gotten that green tattoo cut jack hey like that that's they basically did that already around the candles in the fucking church right where it was right and like how do you just do that twice how do you do that and helena was also involved in this some way because at the end of the vision she's talking and there's the fucking three-eyed raven and yeah i want to go back and like watch all those freeze frames of the vision because i'm sure that i saw the white walker and and danny and i think there was a couple other things in there though that are beat thrones whatever whatever videos are going to be cooking this week with that there's a couple

other things the the final scene when everyone's getting together so they're going to be cooking one little nitpick and bob i agree it felt like a cheap pop and like listen the danny stuff that that's important because she is targaryen gets the look on let's also just call a spade a spade the fucking agon that fucking does save the world, it's not Dany. It's fucking Jon Snow as Aegon this whole time. And I don't think I saw Jon Snow in there. She brought the dragons over, which helped Jon fucking

save the realm, but it's Jon fucking Snow, Aegon Targaryen that is like the fucking straw that stirs the trigger at the end of the day. So just a little hat tip to my fucking king right there. They didn't want to remind us that he hits her with the dagger at the end, though. They were like, we're going to remind you that Game of Thrones existed in season one. Oh, and then the dragon melted the throne.

That was really good. That was the fucking rat from Departed right there. Dragon was pissed. It's a metaphor. The throne's not good. Aemon once again tries to give H helena to join the battle she tells him she saw what he did to agon and that he's gonna be dead which again a great helena scene she's fucking great in every way they use her but she doesn't matter like it doesn't fucking matter great and then we get

rainier and adam pulling up on damon atrenhal. Another good scene where she shows up, and in Valerian, he drops the winter is coming. Another just like cheap pop, welcome to New York City. My best city on earth. The way that they went through Harrenhal, and Harrenhal's cooking. He went from this empty spot,

and he's got everything. He looks like a market or something. Yeah, that was good. I did like her little, if you ever leave me again, I'm going to fuck it. That's like your girl being like, if you ever do that again, I'll chop your dick off.

Let's go to bed. And he had the reaction of like, I know. Yeah, I'm sorry. I'm trying. Were you guys on pins and needles during all that, though? Because I was like, David could really go either way. He might take that sword out and chop her in half for all I know. But I was excited.

Like, his speech got me. Like, I was like, all right, thank you. Finally. He's bending the knee. Unfortunately, we're leaving Harrenhal. For good. Never to be returned. Ever.

I tweeted out completely that just when i thought you couldn't get any dumber you go and pull some of this and totally redeem yourself because the raising of the swords was maybe the high point of the episode for me right i'd say that the little flashback we just had and then like the montage that would have been cool as a penultimate teaser for the finale. And then we've got the core list scene where he yells at, at, or Alan yells at him rather.

And he's like, Hey, you need some help. You got to be more personable with your crew. You know, you're very silent. You're not talking to him. And he's like, I don't need your fucking help.

Yeah. He's like, I was, I was trying to get bread when I was a kid. My brother got a fucking dragon, Dad. Bullshit. Again, good scene, necessary,

understandable. Not the Tower of Bliss. No. And then the finale, the finale of the finale is the white worm tells Rhaenyra she must prevail, and Alicent visits her in the middle of the night we get that whole scene the sun for a sun lawn did hit that was like oh shit yeah she's

she's going there but that again is like so conflicting like ken jack said it's like is she that bad bitch who's like you have to give me your fucking son and i have to do it in front of everyone or is it like i'm trying to keep the peace they really lost the thread i thought with her because it was pretty like when other characters were you know good and bad it was gray areas like rainier really kept doing everything good and then that and then just all fell apart also like not a peep from allison that when she that son for the sun line when it's like like, hey bro, she killed your grandson. Got her beheaded. And you can blame her if that's all you want.

You already got your fucking payback. You got your payback, bitch. A guy walked out with your grandson's head in a sack, and you didn't have a peep to say about it. Misunderstanding. Classic mix-up. Shout out to our guy David Snyder in the chat here he says his

wife's pointed out how this got leaked this episode during the week and not one spoiler floated because there was nothing to spoil it was just more fucking politic and back and forth that should have been the first red flag ken jack you indulged didn't you i indulged i watched some i watched some clips of it and i was like all right i'm not gonna watch anymore i think i watched like a handful of scenes i think the ending montage I saw, and then a couple other ones. I forget what. It's a good point.

If something huge happened, we probably would have found out. Yeah. Yeah. By the way, we are less than 100 subscribers from 50K. Let's go. Let's get up there. Let's get up there.

Everybody tell your friends. The final montage then. Yeah. We get everyone gearing up for battle and i'm looking at my watch and i'm just like oh i know the runtime of this we're approaching it they're not going to give us any of the battle are they you get the wild dragon out in the veil you get auto locked up in prison which like i i could have got another shot of who put him in jail i guess they're building that up as suspense maybe laris though there was the ongoing thing of a we haven't heard back from otto like what's yeah i'm happy to hear that

though because otto was like the best character of this whole yes so we can maybe get more of him if we ever return to this show like arguably the best actor on the show i would say yeah definitely and so it pops and we see agon smuggled out like the Laris plan. They're actually going forward with it and trying to get him out of King's landing. So again, it sets up in my opinion, I think it sets up for a very interesting season three. And in the chat,

I saw so much of season three is going to be all battles now, which is exactly what we heard about season two. When we, I mean, for real HBO can talk all they want about their reasoning. They, if they're not doing battles because they don't have a budget. That's what, unless the budget increases, that's like not going to fucking happen. Yeah.

It's just the way it is. So also. Like this hype me up, but like it can only hype you up to a certain degree when we have two years to wait. Like I'm not going to be hyped in two years. I am when I see a trailer or something, but it's not the same, like, the kind of hype that you build into next week. Yeah, not two years from now, because it's also like,

it's like, honestly, it's like the Mets. It's like, I'm not going to do this again. I'm not going to waste a whole fucking, every night, Sunday night, I don't want to be here at 1130 at night talking about a shitty TV show. I'm not going to do this again. And also and also how much can how many battles can there be because we know like it's at its best when there's a balance so it's just like is it gonna be one big battle is gonna

be a long drawn out battle how much of this battle like i don't know just get ryan reynolds and he'll fix everything like you gotta fix the mcu honestly maybe yeah i had a lot of violence so just do that maybe it's actually not even just ryan reynolds himself maybe it's deadpool maybe just have him come and break the fourth wall with everyone just be like listen i know last season was what it was but we're just gonna get right into the battles this season and then we need jamie lee curtis to apologize too that's yeah can you imagine like when when the time comes to to to watch the new season and you're gonna watch like a recap and we're gonna see some of the so shit oh god yeah that's by the way i i do want to quickly get nick hammy's thoughts because he's sitting in the back producing

the show in full costume the entire time he always does i appreciate that it's full commitment but uh nick what do you think of the finale uh no i'm pretty let down it ended and i was sitting there like just my jaw was dropped yeah my girlfriend was sitting next to me like, it's okay. It's okay. I'm like, how do we do, like, there's that whole mount up, let's fucking ride. And when it cut to black, I really was shocked. I couldn't believe it. I genuinely, I thought I was the opposite, Bob. I saw like, there was like 14 more minutes.

I don't know, I guess it was all the filler or the credits and that extra thing. I was like, you could do, you could start a battle. You could show some shit in 10-15 minutes and then nope yeah because even like the battle of rooks rest is pretty fast like it happens in like 10 to 15 minutes so i thought we were still getting that like something like have a dragon take out a caravan of likes yes even just a teaser like you know it's on here's how it's going to look when we come back yeah but yeah overall everything you guys have been saying about it it just did not have the finale vibes it did have penultimate vibes but like yeah and i was trying to look back and see like because season two of game of thrones i didn't really remember that much like there were there were definitely moments in

it that stuck out but they at least ended with black water even though that was like one of the most incredible days ever you know it is yeah so like they did have some kind of payoff there yeah but if you if they would have cut it at episode eight it would have sucked like and this is this is why i've hated like again i like the idea of damon's dream sequences but we had so many and when they were just repeating scenes that we've already seen i'm like we could have had his dream sequence be two three episode like yeah like in that could have taken him and his mom out that like i hope that comes up at some point i hope like we're gonna need that payoff of like alice is like and i saw that dream by the way

i did i did go through i scrubbed through the dream sequence uh because it's on twitter it didn't seem like there was that much that you guys missed the person sitting in the thread raven chair does appear to be helena and she has like a red mark on her face yeah that was interesting yeah i thought that was uh the old timer that uh brend brendan stark meets when he goes up north the guy that's like sewn into the tree he's sitting on the tree you know it was there was a lady i thought it was helena oh that was a guy yeah it might just be implying like uh she's i know she's just connected it seems like um but yeah that's yeah i was pretty pretty bummed out by it yeah like it's it's apples to oranges because season one did have some really good moments and i think we got excited in the finale

but if this is how we felt after season one, I think House of the Dragon dies on the vine. Because everyone was so mad after Thrones, and we did feel like there was momentum heading into season two. Right now, like, I'm back for season three at the very least. But if, like, I'm kind of, like, with the Mets. Like, there's a console coming. Console is coming.

If I hope you can keep fucking around here. Dude, Aaron just rose to the next streak. We's a council coming. Council is coming. They keep fucking around here. We need a funny streak. Someone named Aaron M just roasted him in the comments. Oh my god. There's no coming back from this. House of the Drag-On. It's pretty good.

It's pretty good. Tell you what, we didn't get a great finale here. I know the season went in circles, but I had a lot of fun recap and every episode, every Sunday night with the chat, with all of you guys putting on a stupid wig, seeing Clem's amazing costumes, shout out to Mrs.

Clem for a lot of the work on that as well. It was fun. Maybe we'll, we'll do this for the, the Duncan egg show in 2025 people are saying that's a fun little game of thrones mini series it'll uh hold us over till you know what's good about that like it's all about expectations i'll come in i'll go into that like with fast and furious expectations let's just have a good time this is this is supposed to be more and

that's why it's disappointing that the other one that we can just have fun and get some TV, MA, nudity and sexual content and violence. Let's go. By the way, Dunkin' Donuts doesn't make some sort of sandwich ad deal with that show. I don't know. Put it in our lap. Do we want to do season MVP, LVP? I think that's

the way to go. I think that's the way to go. Season MVP when it's all said and done. I feel that's the way to go. I don't know. He's an MVP when it's all said and done. I feel like it's Helena for me. Wow. Who's left that I really still...

Rayneira feels like a chalk pick to me, but I think it might be Rhaenyra for me still I still think she had a lot of strong scenes she was great for most of it it's just more of like I feel like Aegon was really good the chat saying Aegon he was really

good we turned around on him this season Aegon was like as an actor by the way that guy is portraying a absolute desperate hopeless you know yeah kill me now the makeup's great too his eye was like his eye looked red around the fucking cornea it was crazy yeah crazy i kind of want to see the dick you know with the lack thereof that's how they'll get us back i I mean, we had it episode one of the series. We got, oh, Jesus. Oh, I loved it. As you see on the screen.

I forgot when I went back to rewatch this, we just get a dick and chopped off like episode one. Yeah, and chopped dicks and all sorts of cool thrown stuff. And we ended with season eight. This might sound gross, but when I picture the destroyed cock, I picture the face of a demogorgon from Stranger Things. Almost like a flower.

That's more of an asshole than a destroyed cock. I think of more of a... Former U.S. soccer goalkeeper? Spitty! That's a Spitty shout-out. I think of

you put a firecracker in a can and it popped open. Yeah. It was like crackle and pieces left. Microwave a hot dog too long? Yeah. That's basically the algorithm he used. He said a thing over

spit or whatever. LVP of the whole season. I hate to say it. Harrenhal. The town of Harrenhal You miss the reality Damon is like the biggest Waste of talent Waste of a character The most badass guy who's been to battle

And flown dragons And there is room For him to have these visions And have this tormented like I should be king but I need to be loyal that's all well and good but not the whole fucking time I'm gonna say the only reason

Damon sucked which he fucking sucked and that was the flashback to Tank from Boba Fett right it was Arya sweeping the floors with the faceless men it was like every time you saw it your your eyes rolled. He's back on the escalator again. That's why I'm giving my MVP to Alice Rivers.

She had the baddest man in Westeros dance for her in his sleep. It was fucking incredible. The barn owl, the baddest bitch in Westeros. With my second place vote going to the second baddest bitch in Westeros, that old dusty bitch Vhagar. Vhagar fucking killed a dragon, lit motherfuckers on fire, and actually delivered what we were looking for. So give it to the two oldest bitches in Westeros,

Alice Reru, who's like a thousand, and Vhagar who's probably like 500. I would give it to Rhaenys too, probably number three. She's like the only true monster. That's my real MVP, but as far as remaining characters, I feel like I want to see where Rhaenys goes, but Rhaenys was that bitch. she was a beast dude yeah she turned around um clem's horse

absolutely loves him lvp i think lvp got it we're forgetting this too kristen cole put on a lvp clinic had us aiding him across the board like there were times where I'm like maybe team green is the way to go and I'm like well if Christian calls on that I'm out of it too so he was like a he was like a L uh MVP LVB so good yeah he's like John yeah Janet's apprentice there that was yeah you suck dude I thought you were gonna go moon dancer with your lvp clip i'm getting tagged in so many moon dancer memes now like every time someone tweets a dragon chart someone will just tweet it at me and just go tough i'm riding with moon dancer though i don't care i'm still with moon dancer let me just say this thing.

I forgot to mention it. The little end montage, two things got to fucking let's go out of me. Darren and his blue dragon, who I believe is called the Blue Queen or something like that. Is that right, Nick? I think so. I know it's like Tesserae on the blue. Yeah. Blue Queen might be right.

And then the starts fucking banner got it moving boys yeah like the whole retirement bridge yeah um that was all good yeah that was good stuff and honestly uh very well directed episode there was probably like five times this episode where i was like oh my god that shot is awesome you know what I love the dragon I guess Damon's dragon was just kind of sleeping when Rainier's dragon showed up and he was like like just kind of popped his head up it's like what are the dragons doing they're just chilling they're just hanging out waiting for to happen they just eat hang out and then burn down cities. Yeah. Pretty cool life. And that shit with Olivia Cooke

and Emma Darcy, like the back and forth, there was a good moment. I was like, that's some fucking acting right there. Yeah. Their chemistry is perfect. Rainey's had me making videos and screaming passionately a few episodes ago. And to end on this...

It reminds me of the tweet where it's like, Chris Paul makes a crazy move to put the deficit for 43. That's what those things are to me. Like, hey, great acting. Awesome thing. Awesome move you just pulled off. But in the grand scheme of things, didn't do much.

For everybody who's in denial, watch it again. Give it a couple weeks. You'll be over here on this side. I've been monitoring the chats. I don't think anyone's in denial. I think. Yeah. In the chat.

This season did make me think last season. I liked Millie Alcock so much as Rainera that the adjustment process was weird for Emma Darcy this season. I'm like, Oh no, Emma Darcy. That's the one like she is Rainera and like so bad-ass in that role. So I,

I thought that was great. Um, all right. That was house of the dragon season. That, that was season two. Um, we'll be back for the next house of the dragon show.

I don't even know what the official name of it is. The next game of Thrones spinoff show. But when that comes out, come back to this channel, My Mom's Basement, and we'll be here for you. Who knows? By then you'll be like, Dad, you'll have a house. Who knows? Who knows?

We'll see you then. Subscribe.
