Starting point is 00:03:21 Hound? Yeah. Maybe he replaced this instead of jousting. Did you like that? It was well struck, your grace. I already said it was well struck. Did he. Yes, your grace.
Starting point is 00:03:34 Oh, God, he's the worst. I hate him so much. Oh, God. Dang. Tragic. Sir, gone to cost the red of House Holland. Here I am. Here I am.
Starting point is 00:03:49 Oh. Sorry, Grace. My deepest apologies. Mm. Are you drunk? They're two cups of wine. It's not much at all. have another cup to celebrate my name day have two have as much as you like oh god he's not very well

It would be bad luck to kill a man on your name day. The girl is right. A man serves on his name day. He reaps all year.
Starting point is 00:04:37 Oh, I like that the hound is on her side. Remember he handed her the hanker ship for what him said, you'll need this? I'll have him killed tomorrow the fool. Ugh. Thank goodness. Oh, gross. A fool, you're so clever to see it. Ew.
Starting point is 00:04:50 They make a much better fool than a knight. He doesn't deserve the mercy of a quick death. This is a good facade she's putting on. From this day, you'll be my new fool. Thank you, your grace. And you, my lady, thank you. You got to play the role right now. Yes!
Starting point is 00:05:07 All right, here he is. The hand! We looked for you on the battlefield. You were nowhere to be found. Exactly. Been here ruling the kingdoms. More beautiful than ever. And you, you're going to be bigger than the hound.
Starting point is 00:05:23 But much better looking. We heard you were dead. I'm glad you're not dead. Oh, me too, dear. So are we. Death is so boring. My lady, I'm sorry for your loss. Her loss.
Starting point is 00:05:37 Oh, she was a confessed traitor. But still her father. Surely having so recently lost your own beloved father, you can sympathize. Exactly. He's still trying to push him to the right half. See, yeah, I knew. That's why I turned to her. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:52 I am loyal to my beloved Geoffrey. Good job, Sonsa. Keep up the act. Enjoy your name day, your grace. I wish I could stay and celebrate But there is work to be done Oh, he doesn't even know he's the hand I'm not really not yet
Starting point is 00:06:07 I am gonna love his interactions with him Yeah The conclave has met Considered reports from maesters All over the seven kingdom And declare this great summer Done The winter has fallen upon us
Starting point is 00:06:22 The peasants say a long summer means an even longer winter A common superstition We'll have enough wheat for a five-year winter. If it lasts any longer, we'll have fewer peasants. And are you not a lord at my command? I owe my title and lands to your generosity, your grace. Then do your job. Shut the gates to the peasants.
Starting point is 00:06:41 They belong in the field, not our capital. Oh, wow. Jeez, very compassionate towards others. Yeah. Yeah. More ravishing than ever, big sister. What are you doing here? Yes, none of them know.
Starting point is 00:07:00 It's been a remarkable journey. Pissed off the edge of the wall. I slept in a sky cell. I fought with the hill tribes. So many adventures. Season one recap for me. What are you doing here? This is the small council.
Starting point is 00:07:16 Do you believe the hand of the king is welcome at all small council meetings? Ha ha ha. Father is hand of the king. Yes, but in his absence. Your father has named Lord Tyrion to serve his hand. Her reaction was great. Here we go. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:07:38 He tricked father into this. He did nothing. I'm capable of tricking father. I'd be emperor of the world by now. You've done nothing. Quite right. You did nothing. When your son called for Ned Stark's head.
Starting point is 00:07:49 Now the entire north has risen up against us. I tried to stop it. You failed. Do you understand what losing the war? What do you know about warfare? Nothing, but I know people. And I know that our enemies hate each other almost as much as they hate us. Geoffrey is king.
Starting point is 00:08:07 You are here to advise him. I'm only here to advise him. And if the king listens to what I say, the king might just get his uncle Jamie back. Uncle. Well, yeah, he doesn't know he's his dad. No, no, no, I was just saying it out loud for myself. I know he doesn't know. Starks love their children as well.
Starting point is 00:08:23 And we have two of them. One. Aria, little animal, she disappeared. disappeared what in a puff of smoke we had three stocks to trade we had now one chopped one's head off and let another escape father would be furious idiot and you let your son behead that's not good job of your end it's like i know that title all too well god dang tyrian is one of the best written characters ever the walls of my whole fashion will not stand the winter the Stones were last mortared in the time of King Ares. I'm afraid the masons today are not fit to carry their father's hammers. Oh, winter fell. Maintenance of a holdfast generally falls to the Lord of that holdfast.
Starting point is 00:09:11 But I've sent all the young men off to fight Rob Stark's war. King Rob, it is not his war. It's our war. It's not my lord. But he called in his banners and took the men. Geoffrey killed my father. Your leagued lord. Hmm.
Starting point is 00:09:24 Do you remember your vows, sir? Look at Brand. Go, buddy. Bear four masons for a week, my lord. Will that be sufficient to repair your walls? I believe it will. Hmm. We didn't want him here all day, did we?
Starting point is 00:09:40 Like the way he was talking about Rob. Nor did I. Listening to people you'd rather not listen to it is one of your responsibilities as Lord of Winterfair. Yep. Oh. It's just a... Hi, Wolfie.
Starting point is 00:09:59 It's not the one that escaped, remember, and the one... Oh, no mind. You mean the one that... The one they had to let go, and she had to throw the rock at? Might be. You've been having those dreams again. I don't dream. Everyone dreams.
Starting point is 00:10:17 Had some of the men talking about the comet, Sir's an omen. St. It means Rob will win a great victory in the South. That would be nice. that reflection shot's great I heard some other fools say it's Lannister red things The Lannisters are rule all seven kingdoms
Starting point is 00:10:31 If I've followed But a stable boy say It's the color of blood Mark the death of your father So the time lapse is not too far From season one to season two Maybe a couple of days, if anything Red Comet means one thing boy
Starting point is 00:10:47 Dragons That sounds more accurate Dragons are all dead Been dead for centuries They're back kid. It's so cute. I can't stand it.
Starting point is 00:11:01 What did your brother say about them, Colisi? He said they ate meat. He didn't tell you what kind of meat. Oh, they're refusing to eat. Do they eat human meat? I don't know. Well, we got to find some meat.
Starting point is 00:11:19 Oh, no. Good stunt, horsey. They need water. I mean, they're hungry and thirsty. Dehydrated. Go south to land of the Lazarine. The landman will kill us and take your dragons. We go west to the Dothraki.
Starting point is 00:11:35 See the first calisal we meet will kill us and take your dragons. No one will take my dragons. They're too weak to fight. Right. They're just babies. You must be their strength. I see your mind. Oh, I was about to say you've got to be hers.
Starting point is 00:11:54 I can still see that scar from his neck that he got cut from from Caldrogo's brother. I was your neck, Shafka, jacch. Oh, maybe it wasn't Caldrogo's brother? Because he said blood of my blood also. Might just be a saying that the death rack. Yeah, that's what made me think that too now. I was born in a place like this. Later, I fell on hard times.
Starting point is 00:12:18 Are those girls? I haven't seen a girl in six months. I keep on not seeing him if I were you Don't like people messing with his daughters I don't like people messing with his wife He marries his daughters Oh God They give him more daughters
Starting point is 00:12:36 And on it goes That's foul It's beyond foul All the other wildings For hundred leagues have disappeared I didn't even know how to respond to that Pastor's still here Must be doing something right

Starting point is 00:13:40 there's only one direction to go let them come wife tell the lord crawl how content we are this is our place our husband keeps us safe Ugh. Better to live free than die, slave. Uh, yeah. Don't it make you jealous, old man? See me with all these young wives and you with no one to warm your bed. Oh, God.
Starting point is 00:14:03 Any man lays a hand on one of my wives. He loses the hand, and I see this one, staring too long. I might just gouge his eyes out. Hmm. Your roof, your rules. Oof. Who am I? Your commander.
Starting point is 00:14:19 And who are you? John Snow. you of the white night watch maybe you steward oh you want to lead one day we'll learn how to follow take them and cast your light upon us for the night is dark and full of terrors that we were back on danaris we need to stop her oh no is this how you treat the gods of your fathers fear and piss and all bones uh Do you want to stop me? In the ancient books, it's written that a warrior will draw a burning sword from the fire.
Starting point is 00:14:59 And that sword shall be light bring him. Now you've met him. That's Robert's brother. Your sword awaits you. That's cool. I remember they kept talking about. I was like, did I miss it? Now we met him.
Starting point is 00:15:16 Yep. Cool. Oh. Ow. Ow, ow, ow. That actor looks so familiar. It's still probably kind of hot. This woman will lead him into a war.
Starting point is 00:15:40 He cannot win. Stanis is our king. We follow where he leads. Even if we don't like the pan. Loyal service means telling hard truth. True. He's surrounded by fools and fools. fanatics.
Starting point is 00:15:53 But he trusts you, Davos. Davos. If you tell him the truth, what's the truth? Look, it's hard for me not to say go liberate Robert and go beat Joffrey, but you got to do it strategically too.
Starting point is 00:16:08 And I declare upon the honor of my house that my beloved brother left. It wasn't my beloved brother? I didn't love him. You didn't love me. A harmless courtesy of grace. A lie. Take it out. Hmm.
Starting point is 00:16:18 That my brother Robert left no true born airs. The boy Joffrey. the boy Tomon and the girl Marcella being born of incest between Circe Lannister and her brother Jamie Lannister Oh By right of birth Jamie Lannister, the king slayer Call him what he is
Starting point is 00:16:30 Not afraid to be direct And her brother Jeremy Lannister The king slayer By right of birth Oh, what was that When Eddard Stark learned the truth He told only me I'll not make the same mistake
Starting point is 00:16:41 Oh right, that's how he knows Ned sent a Yeah, to Stanis Right, right right Stanis does not need to beg this lord or that lord for support The Lord of Light stands behind me. And how many ships has a Lord of Light got in his fleet?
Starting point is 00:16:55 If not Renly, Your Grace, join forces with Rob Stark. You'd steal the northern half of my kingdom. I've always served thieves according to their deserts, as you well know, Sir Davos. And he likes the Barathians more than the Lannisters. I'll see that. I owe you an apology, my king. My duty is to serve. You have chosen the new god over the old gods.
Starting point is 00:17:14 Mm-hmm. Shall we drink together? Don't. A cup of wine. to honor the one true god uh he puts something in that drink yeah i know oh he's wait what oh oh oh oh oh okay the night is He's dark and full of terror of men. She's a witch.
Starting point is 00:17:47 The fire burns them all away. Yeah. Oh, ha, ha, ha. Will you insult yourself, King Slater? Wolfie. You've been defeated by a boy. You held captive by a boy? Oh.
Starting point is 00:18:02 That's such a terrifying shot and I love it. Oh, hell yeah. Look at that dire wolf. Stannis Barathian sent ravens to all the high lords of Westeros. The king Geoffrey Baratheon is neither a true king, not a true Barathean. He's your son.
Starting point is 00:18:22 He's your bastard son. Yeah. If that's true, Stanis is the rightful king. How convenient for him. My father. Look at those eyes. Learned the truth. That's why you had him executed.
Starting point is 00:18:36 I was your prisoner when that Stark lost his head. And your son killed him so the world would learn who fathered him and you. You pushed my brother from a window because he saw you with the queen. Yep. This sounds pretty accurate. Oh, look that wolf.
Starting point is 00:18:51 Look at that one of your cousins down to King's Landing with my peace terms. I think my father's going to negotiate with you. You don't know him very well. He's starting to know me. Ah. Oh, dear Jesus. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:08 Oh. Oh. Y'all! That was freaking awesome. So dope. You need to be careful. No one can know you're here. No one will know.
Starting point is 00:19:21 You can't trust anyone in King's Landing. They're all liars. Good liars, bad liars. Eyes and ears everywhere. Ned Stark's youngest daughter, Arya. We can't seem to locate her. You could ask Varus where she is. She'll have an answer for you.
Starting point is 00:19:34 Whether you believe it, myself, I've always had a hard time trusting eunuchs. You created your own sigil, didn't you? Yes. I'm glad you like it. Some people are fortunate enough to be born into the right family. Others have to find their own way. Ooh. Shots fired.
Starting point is 00:19:55 I heard a song once about a boy of modest means. Found his way into the home of a very prominent family. Oh, here we go. He loved the eldest daughter. Sadly, she had eyes for another. That story sounds familiar. When boys and girls live in the same home, awkward situations can arise. Oh, oh, God.
Starting point is 00:20:13 Even brothers and sisters. This is so good. Yikes. And when those affections become common knowledge. Oh, God. It is an awkward situation, indeed. This is the most fascinating subtextual interaction I've ever seen. Roman and families often forget a simple truth.
Starting point is 00:20:31 I found. Which truth is that? Knowledge is power. Oh. Yes, that is. What? Oh, my God. Cut his throat.
Starting point is 00:20:41 Oh, God. Stop. Wait, I've changed my mind, let him go. Step back, three paces. Turn around. Well, she's proving her power now. Close your eyes. Close your, cut your own throats?
Starting point is 00:20:55 Power. It's power. Oh. Tuchay. Do see if you can take some time away from your coins and your... To locate the Stargirl for me. I would very much appreciate it. Yeah, she's like, dude, I've got the upper hand here no matter what you think or no.
Starting point is 00:21:11 That was, I'm not going to lie to this. is one of my favorite interactions so far in the two seasons. Joffrey and the Queen Regent must renounce all claim to dominion of the North. Ooh. From this time
Starting point is 00:21:23 to the end of time we are a free and independent kingdom. King in the North. King in the North. These are my terms. Hmm. If the Queen Regent and her son meet them, I'll give them peace.
Starting point is 00:21:36 If not. We kill them all. I will litter to the south of Klanis the dead. King Geoffrey is a Baratheon, your grace. Oh, is he? Eh. We can't take Kings Landing without ships. Our father has ships and men who know how to sail.
Starting point is 00:21:50 Men who fought my father. Men who fought King Robert to free themselves from the yoke of the South, just like you're doing now. I'm his only living son. You'll listen to me. I know we will. Do we trust the Greyjoys? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:22:06 I'm not a Stark. I know that. But your father raised me to be an honorable man. We can avenge him together. Okay. I understand you don't trust Lord Greyjoy. I don't trust Lord Greyjoy because he is not trustworthy. Ugh.
Starting point is 00:22:19 Your father had to go to war to end his rebellion. Right. And now I'm the one rebelling against the throne. Before me, it was father. You married one rebel and mothered another. I mothered more than just rebels. Fucked you seem to have forgotten. I'm so worried about Greyjoy now.
Starting point is 00:22:34 You want to leave Sansa in the Queen's hands. And Arya? I haven't heard a word about Arya. What are we fighting for, if not for them? It's more complicated than that. You know it is... Yeah. It's time for me to go home. Back to Brand.
Starting point is 00:22:46 I haven't seen Brano Rick on in months. Oh, Ricken, Ricken, too. You can't go to Winterville. beg your pardon. I'll send Roderick to watch over the boys. It's tomorrow. We'll ride south to the Stormlands. Hmm.
Starting point is 00:22:58 Why, in the name of all the gods, because I need you to negotiate with Renley Baratheon. Renly? We haven't seen Renley in a couple episodes. You know his family. Oh, wow. If Renly sides with us, we'll outnumber them two to one. Yeah, but if Renly sides with you,
Starting point is 00:23:11 it's so he can become king. When they feel the jaw's beginning to shut, they'll sue for peace. We'll get the girls back and we'll all for good. Which, again, I'm okay with over Joffrey. Yeah, we need their 100,000 men. That's a lot, for sure. I will ride at first light. Go, Lady Stark.
Starting point is 00:23:28 If Lord Renly, Marraguards. King Reni. King in every corner, no. Right? Yeah, there is. She's not wrong. We can't find Aria Stark. It's luck she's dead in a ditch somewhere.
Starting point is 00:23:38 Perhaps, but if not, we need her. They'll never give Jamie back to us for Santser alone. They're weak. They put too much value on their women. He is like the worst king ever. He's a terrible negotiator. He's a dumbass. I'm sure if you asked grandfather.
Starting point is 00:23:50 The king does not ask. He commands. My grandfather's stupidity in the field of battle is the reason Rob Stark is Uncle Jamie in the first place. No, that was your doing. His life is in danger. All our lives are in danger. I had a disgusting lie about Uncle Jamie. And you?
Starting point is 00:24:05 Oh. Father Jamie? Our enemies will say anything to weaken your claim to the throne. It's not a claim The throne is mine Of course it is Oh boy No one believes this foul gossip
Starting point is 00:24:19 Someone believes it Father had other children Besides me and Tom and and Marcella Had lots of children What are you asking I'm asking if he f*** other women When he grew tired of you Ooh
Starting point is 00:24:29 I love when he snivles like a weasel When he gets hit What you just did It's punishable by death Oh God He will never do it again I mean, look, when you raise a monster, you got to live with the consequences of a monster.
Starting point is 00:24:48 Oh, what's going on? What's happening? Are they being raided or something? I'm like, orders. His orders. Someone who doesn't care what little finger thinks. Oh, they're looking for bastards for Robert Barathean. Is that what's happening?
Starting point is 00:25:10 Yeah. Oh, he admitted to that being a... They're going to kill a baby? Oh, Jesus. It's a baby. Are you crazy? Oh, God. Oh, my God!
Starting point is 00:25:28 Somebody killed Joffery already. I can't take it. Dude, so glad they didn't show us up. No, I was like walking off. Terrible. Terrible. Terrible. Well
Starting point is 00:25:41 Jesus Oh my God Robert had a lot of bastards They're literally Holy crap Oh my God This is terrible This is sad
Starting point is 00:25:56 I guarantee you There's one bastard They're not going to know about The blacksmith Gendry Yes him Oh never mind I take that back

Starting point is 00:31:15 Did you see my brother When you were the Stark's guest? I did They have not broken his spirit Your Grace Tell him he has not been forgotten I will your race Safe travels, cousin
Starting point is 00:31:30 That's a lot of back and forth for this guy as a messenger But I guess that's the job of a messenger Lord Commander asks that we send more men to man the wall Perhaps he's forgotten we're fighting a wall We have no men to spare The cold winds are rising And the dead rise with them
Starting point is 00:31:47 Didn't Alistair come there Or when did what happened with that According to the commander One of these dead men attacked him in his chambers Wormont doesn't lie Exactly How do you kill a dead man Apparently you burn him
Starting point is 00:32:01 One trip to the wall and you come back Believing in grumpkins and snar Wow But here's a fact for you. Knight's Watch is the only thing that separates us from what lies beyond the wall. I have every confidence. The brave men of the Knight's Watch

Starting point is 00:32:34 Don't talk to her. I just don't want some. Sam to get in trouble. Did he frighten you? You shouldn't touch me. Oh, sorry. I just wanted to make sure you weren't hurt. Oh, it's so sweet of Sam.
Starting point is 00:32:47 You're very brave. First time he's ever been called that. Great reaction. This is Gilly. She's one of Krasta's daughters. Hello, Gilly. What are you doing? Sam said you could help.
Starting point is 00:32:59 I love that reaction. I'm not supposed to be pregnant. Oh. We have to take them with us when we leave. What? What we do? It sounds a bit mad. No, it doesn't sound a bit mad.
Starting point is 00:33:10 It's impossible. Right. I can still run if I have to. It's just not possible. I'm going to have a baby. If it's a boy, what? Yeah, tell us. Does he kill boys?
Starting point is 00:33:19 Obviously. You want us to risk our lives for you. And you won't even tell us why. Yeah, you should tell them. You just want a steal her. What do you think Kruster cuts off for that? I can't steal her. She's a person, not a go.
Starting point is 00:33:32 That's a good point. What will we do with her? Exactly. Exactly. I'm just going to have a baby. I could try. I could try. Go Sam.
Starting point is 00:33:41 I'm sorry, son. We can't help her. Something tells me, Sam's still going to do it. He's got too much compassion. Too much of a moral code. Oh, God. Is it the pole? The head of one of the guys who went out,
Starting point is 00:33:59 the guy who said blood of my blood? Yeah. Hey, boy. Who did this? Call Pono, perhaps. We called Jagom. They don't like the idea of a woman leading a calisar. They will like it far less when I am done with them.
Starting point is 00:34:17 Oof. I mean, we need water first. I know they're going to Greyjoy. They say his father. Yeah, he's going to the Iron Islands to ask for their support to get their ships and stuff to help us with, you know, in the fight with the Starks. Did he hurt you? Oh, my lord, it's Megan. Who?
Starting point is 00:34:39 Barathians, woman. She works for you. The gold clerks. They killed her baby. Ah, yes. Yes. That was poorly handled. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:34:52 Quite a statement. You know, you remind me of another girl. A lovely thing I once acquired from a leased-in pleasure house. Girls from the leased-seen pleasure houses are expensive. And this one wasn't making me any money. So what did you do to her? I hate bad investments God, these
Starting point is 00:35:09 making us a threat They haunt me Jeez man Have I No idea how to make her happy I have a little compassion But I feel you
Starting point is 00:35:20 No idea how to mitigate my losses A very wealthy patron You offered me a tremendous amount of money To let him transform This sad girl To use her in ways That would never occur to most men Oh God
Starting point is 00:35:33 Yikes And you know what occurs to most men Oh my God I would not say he succeeded in making her happy But my losses were definitely mitigated Yikes Quite the threat I get he's running a business
Starting point is 00:35:50 But a little compassion I had there was some trouble in Littlefingers brothel the other night Nasty business had to be done Yes of course the city watch must keep the peace With little It's being killed I hadn't realized peace depended on killing Right.
Starting point is 00:36:04 I heard the awful rumors about my brother and sister. I don't listen to filth. I suppose people who do believe that filth consider Robert's bastards to be better claimants to the throne than Circe's children. Mm-hmm. Joffrey is my king, the rest doesn't interest me. I appreciate your loyalty. When your men slaughtered Ned Stark's men in the throne room, did you give the order? I did.
Starting point is 00:36:25 Okay. The man was a traitor. He tried to buy my loyalty. Foo. He had no idea you were already bought. You think I'll stand here and take this from you, Dwarf. Dwarf, you should have stopped at imp. Yes, you will stand here and take it from me, unless you like to take it from my friend here.
Starting point is 00:36:45 Ha, ha, ha, ha. I intend to serve as hand of the king until my father returns from the wall. And seeing as you betrayed the last hand of the king, well, I just wouldn't feel safe with you lurking about. Oh, yeah. I command you to arrest this cut-roats. His name is Brom. and he is the new commander of the city watch yeah

Starting point is 00:37:52 My mother was a lady and my sister. You were a Lord's daughter, and you lived in a castle. Hmm. All that about, I should never have said. What are you carrying? Merish oranges, wine from the arbor, and the air to Pike and the Iron Islands. Oh, it is Pike. See, I was right. The only living son of Baylon Greyjoy.
Starting point is 00:38:11 Mm. There he goes. I need to get to Pike. I'm heading that way. I can take you there. I bet you can. Joe, I am. Do you think I offer free rides to every man in jewelry, Lord Greyjoy? Hey.

Starting point is 00:39:03 Lord Stark is God Oh is that the actor from the world is not enough And how do you feel about that Yeah, I think he is from the world is not enough Brought you a proposal from Rob Stark Who gave you those clothes? I think Did you Ned Stark's pleasure to make you his daughter?

Starting point is 00:39:40 my fears have come true the starks have made you theirs my blood is salt and iron yet the stark boy sends you to me like a trained raven oh this son of the man who put your true brothers to the sword or have you forgotten your own blood I forget nothing I remember my brothers And I remember when my father was a king Comes off so spiteful and vindictive He reminds me so much of the steward of Gondor
Starting point is 00:40:09 And return of the king I will lead the attack myself Oh you will I'm your son Your only living air Who else? Told you to wait outside How did you get past the guards
Starting point is 00:40:18 Anything with a guy is easy to fool My dear Is that his daughter Or who is this His wife? I don't know. So good to see you, brother. There it is.
Starting point is 00:40:32 There's a homecoming. I'll tell my grandchildren about. There it is. Your sister took over command of your eldest brother's ship after your new father killed him. That's dead men never die. The only night she spent off these islands have been spent on the sea. Oh. No man gives me a crown.
Starting point is 00:40:49 I pay the iron price. I will take my crown. Ah. You want to spend your last few years on the sea, stealing from. Toshi cheesemongers and Mennonese silk merchants, then go, they're out there waiting for you. That's easy. What I'm offering you is hard. Come with me and plunder the greater city in Westrose.
Starting point is 00:41:05 He said plunder, speaking his language. You'll be the richest man in Lees. I'm the most famous. They'll be singing songs about you as long as men are voices to sing. Saladro's son is a good name for song. This war isn't about you. We're not attacking King's Landing so that you... I'm not going to...
Starting point is 00:41:22 I'm going to... As if she would just let you? You don't know how persuasive I am. I'm a charmed. I'm a charming man. I promise you the glory. I cannot promise you the queen. You believe your king can win.
Starting point is 00:41:31 He is the one true king. The Lord of Light. I've seen men pray to every God there is. Pray for wind, play for rain, pray for home. None of it works. You always came home. I wasn't praying. Huh.
Starting point is 00:41:44 But I was. Mm. Every night that you were at sea, I let a candle and I prayed for you. Hmm. You want me to have a god. Fine. King Stavis is my god.
Starting point is 00:41:55 Mm. Stannister's my king, but he's only a man Don't tell him that You see, he's just a man Half the city will starve when winter comes The other half will plot to overthrow you And your gold-plated thugs just gave them Their rallying cry
Starting point is 00:42:09 The Queen's slaughters I mean, you are turning the people So against you You don't even have the decency to deny it No, she doesn't It wasn't you who gave the order, was it? Is it Joffrey? Yeah Joffrey didn't even tell you
Starting point is 00:42:24 He did what needed to be done You want to be handed the king This is what ruling is Lying on a bed of weeds Ripping them out by the root One by one Will you in your sleep I'm no king
Starting point is 00:42:36 But I think there's more to ruling than that I don't care what you think King is serving the people You've never taken it seriously You haven't Jamie hasn't Hmm God these people have such a twisted View on the world
Starting point is 00:42:49 Or she does and her son It's all fallen on me As has Jamie repeatedly according to Stanis Barathean. Shots fire, bruh. You're funny. He really is. He's hysterical.
Starting point is 00:43:04 None of your jokes will ever match the first one, will they? You remember, back when you ripped my mother open on your way out of her and she bled to death. Oh, wow. Wow, you're really going to say that to him? That's effed up. She was my mother, too. Mother gone for the sake of you. Piece of shit.
Starting point is 00:43:20 There's no bigger joke in the world than that. Wow. as one of the most disgusting, despicable things you could say to a sibling or to another human. That's Searcy. The Lord of Life shines through you, young warrior. Death by fire is beautiful.
Starting point is 00:43:36 Is that what you just said? That's what it sounded like, right? Death by fire is beautiful? I don't know, man. The hell's going on here. What did you say to him? I told him death by fire is the purest death. Oh, okay, it was somewhat close.
Starting point is 00:43:49 These armies are toys for the Lord of Light. Tell your lord to burn them then. I tell him nothing. I pray for his commands and I obey. My little brother has 100,000 men according to the scouts. Men whose allegiance rightly belongs to me. You must have faith. In a real war, aside with the greater number wins.
Starting point is 00:44:10 Nine times out of ten. Then we must be the ten. I cannot defeat my brother in the field. And I can't take Kings landing without the men he's stolen. I have seen the path to victory in the flames. flames and first you must give yourself to the lord of life not gonna lie terror she's wackadoo i burnt the idols uh i think she's getting unjust i have a wife i took a vow she's sickly shut away in a towel she disgusts you and she's given you nothing yeah there's no way you can say no to her
Starting point is 00:44:42 like you just can't there's no way i will give you a son like it looks like a son young Anthony Hopkins. Yeah, he does. They're about to juice it. Second, he heard son. He was like, all right, let's go. She knows what he wants, and she's going to give it to him.
Starting point is 00:45:02 That looks really comfortable on that table piece. Is he carrying a baby? Maybe it's the baby Sam delivered. I don't know. Or did Sam deliver it? Oh, is he going to try to kill the baby? Because it's a boy. Yeah, he's got no use for boys.
Starting point is 00:45:28 I think this guy is an evil monster. John, you got to take this guy out. I like that song. Did he bury it alive? I think he buried the baby alive. That's not what it sounded like. No? Baby's crying.
Starting point is 00:45:52 Or just left it to die, maybe? I don't know. Left it to be eaten? Yeah. What the hell? Oh, is that a White Walker? Holy shit. What?
Starting point is 00:46:17 Whoa. Oh, no. Oh, my. God. He feeds his sons to white walkers. That is freaking wild. Yeah, it is, man. Holy shit. If you're listening to us on App or Spotify, please give us
Starting point is 00:46:33 a five-star rating. Also, if you're on the YouTube. Like, comment, subscribe. When you do, ring the bell, ring the bell. And thank you to PrEP for helping out of down these highlights. We super appreciate you. um so why don't you read this first question then i'm going to look to make sure there isn't anymore all right from jaden roads thank you jaden for being a royal reject and for asking us a question we appreciate you uh how do you all feel about gen jendry i remember really liking
Starting point is 00:47:06 that character uh i like him so far too i know we don't know a ton about him other than you know he's barathian's bastard son uh but he seems very honorable and just a little bit we've gotten to interact with him. I do like his rapport with ARI, Aria, so far, and also the fact that he's not willing to compromise, you know, the fact that she's disguising herself right now and not willing to give away her secret. I think that says a lot about the testament to his character.
Starting point is 00:47:37 So, so far I really like him, and I'm invested in his character, and I want to know more about him, of course, and I'm hoping he gets to survive. So I would say we're off to a good start in terms of how I feel about him and I really am enjoying his interactions with Aria so far.
Starting point is 00:47:53 What about you, Tara? Yeah, I like Gendry a lot. I'm just making sure we have all the questions. Guys, one second. Okay. Yeah, I especially like Gendry because of the way that he interacted with Aria there where he was like, oh, I'm sorry, my lady.
Starting point is 00:48:17 my princess where he actually was like, dang, I've been pissing in front of you. I shouldn't been doing that. Like, which I really liked. And you got in that moment when she pushes him and he starts laughing, you got in that moment like a friendship and a shared secrecy, right? Or he doesn't know that he is King Barathean's like bastard son. But now he does know that it is Aria Stark. And my assumption is that he is going to protect her without saying anything. That is what I hope. Because he seems like a stand-up dude,
Starting point is 00:48:56 who I like. I like him. For sure. All right, Brandy Davis, who's your favorite character so far? And why is it Terry? Because he proves that size does not matter. Quick wit, charm.
Starting point is 00:49:07 And he just brings everything in the table. He's one of the funniest characters I've ever heard in a show. And he's just a totally three-dimensional character. I also love, too, the subtext in which he interacts with other characters. So when another character is threatening him, and again, in a very subtextual way, he knows how to immediately fire back. He does not care that he is literally less than half the size of the other people.
Starting point is 00:49:28 He has never feel threatened. And he is always still one to, like, get back at them in that type of way. And I love characters who are quick-witted. I love characters who are able to be resourceful. I love characters who are able to just find. a way to get back at other characters when it comes to a banter in that type of way when it comes to interaction he's just every second he's on screen he is just so he's just brimming with so much passion from peter dinklage and you can just like as an audience member i love every second
Starting point is 00:50:05 he's on the screen there's not a moment that is wasted with this character i mean there's not really a moment that's wasted on really any characters everyone is really gets to you know as i always say gets to shine in the limelight. But his character especially is just done so, it's such a special character. I really, really love what Peter Dinklage does. I love what the writers do, how much respect they give towards this character.
Starting point is 00:50:29 And, you know, again, that even if you look down upon him, just as a person, like, he is just, he's so, he's always the smartest one in the room. And he's so wise, too. I love him so freaking much. Yeah, I think he knows how to put people in, their place. So we specifically saw it with Lord Veris when he's like, threaten me again, meaning, and he's like, who's threatening you? And he's like, I'm not an idiot. I know that you
Starting point is 00:50:55 are threatening me in your like little bird speak. But what Game of Thrones really does, I mean, our Martin is the one who actually wrote the books. But I'm saying there's people who wrote the scripts. But I think what this does, the way that the characters are written, that they all clap back because even Varis is like, trust me, like I'll still be back even if you try to kill me. Yeah. And then
Starting point is 00:51:22 when he, he says the same thing to his sister and his sister claps back pretty hard about being like you killed mom. Super sad. But I think that the reason that they show us that his dad was willing
Starting point is 00:51:38 to let him die, didn't care. And then you know, Searcy hates him. He knows Jamie and Searcy's secret. He's not willing to like keep that a secret and he's not afraid to let it out either.
Starting point is 00:51:54 And the other side is that we do get to see that he has more of the heart of all the Lannisters than the rest, right? With the way that he treats his newfound girl, he's sort of like giving her a life in a way at King's
Starting point is 00:52:10 Landing. But also we see the way that he just treats everyone else, which is very unlike most Lannisters. Yeah. And also, too, so sorry, I was just going to say, too, I think that interaction he had with the head guard Janos so, however you say his name, that was
Starting point is 00:52:26 one of the coolest exchanges because I hated that character. Not only after what he did to Lord Stark and all, you know, how we slaughtered them, but also just killing babies, but that was such a fascinating interaction. You really get to see just again,
Starting point is 00:52:42 It's a testament to his character and how much of a moral complex and code he has. But also, too, my interpretation of this so far, just from that interaction he had with his sister, and the reason there's so much animosity towards Tyrion, from the entire family, from the father, from, I guess we've only had really one exchange between him and Jamie, but also from Circe, is they blame him for the loss of their mom, or I guess in the father's perspective from the loss of his wife. and they literally put it all on tyrian so i feel like that's where all the animosity towards him comes right so it's sad because he literally didn't do anything he was just being born so i just you feel bad for him in that sense but also too i i wouldn't i wouldn't hate myself if
Starting point is 00:53:28 these awful characters who related to me my blood didn't like me i think that means i'm doing something right yeah i get what you're saying because he's he's so wonderful and they're so awful yeah exactly all right jay rushin we meet a bunch of new characters who is the favorite for trivia sean beam lived in martian so he lived there where they were filming oh just what i assume jay is trying to say oh okay i remember he was in the movie the martian uh but a question we meet a bunch of new characters who's the new favorite character uh i like the new redheaded witch but for specific reasons that you know that last scene with her she looked really good in that scene but uh new honestly though who's the new favorite character um i don't know can who are some new characters
Starting point is 00:54:18 that we've met i mean because you met um lord king stanis you met um davos you met the red-headed who got sorry sorry i i think i liked what's his name the the one who's got his fingers chopped off i mean he seems like a stand-up guy i mean he's following you know his king and he seems like a again a very noble and wise person and i'm hoping hoping that nobility and that wiseness kind of shifts him into the right direction because it seems like maybe I'm misinterpreting, but it's two episodes in. It seems like this witch woman is steering Stannis towards a bad path. And I think that speaks a lot to us as human beings. It's very important to have good surrounding company because they can lead you down a pad or good path.
Starting point is 00:55:04 You know what I mean? So I think I don't know what the character's name is. He's the, again, the guy whose fingers are sewn off. But I do like him a lot so far, the one who hired the pirates. I like him a lot so far. And I'm hoping that cooler heads prevail and that he sees that this witch woman is psychotic and crazy. Like the guy who drank the poison or whatever, like he rightfully saw and that Stannis is probably going apeshit crazy as a result of this woman. So I hope he sees that in time because I don't want anything to happen to him. So I would say he's probably my new favorite character, maybe, I guess.
Starting point is 00:55:44 Okay, love that. Is there anyone specifically you like that's new? I would say that let's think through it. So we saw Davos King's Standing. Oh, you know what I think is really creepy. I don't love this character, but the fact that Theon Grayjoy has a freaking sister who he boned on a horse prior to. to arriving home to see his dad
Starting point is 00:56:11 Balon Grayjoy. So freaking awkward and that it's like she wanted the power over him to be like yeah you messed with your sister because she knew the entire time right which was why old
Starting point is 00:56:27 and then I think I would also say that we also saw what do we also see oh when we go to Castle Black
Starting point is 00:56:41 and we see Sam while tried to save the girl who I don't know the girl who's pregnant. I like her a lot. She's got a funny little personality and she only had like five lines in this but she seemed really charming and it was very sweet that he was trying to save her
Starting point is 00:56:59 but it was also awesome that she was like I'll run like I've run before meaning I'm not afraid to get the F out of here which I actually really appreciated from her. Okay, let's read the last question. Curtis Okerman, a mysterious red comet, stores above. Our heroes and villain, who's explanation for its
Starting point is 00:57:18 appearance you believe is more realistic? First of all, the character's name was Davos that I was talking about. You know, they all could have been, honestly, I think they all possibly collide into a possibility, but I think the dragon one sounds the most realistic to me. I don't know, just because it's been generations or however long it's been since there's how long do they say it's been since dragons were 300 years okay
Starting point is 00:57:43 it's been 300 years and I don't know how long it's been maybe I missed the line since there's been an actual comet so it could just be symbolizing like fire is upon us possibly so I don't know that that that seems like the most logical one to me I forgot specifically what they said some of the other ones were again but I think like you could take something from every little bits and pieces of every single one but Again, the dragon one seems the most logical one to me. Yeah, the one that makes the most sense is a dragon one because we're looking at fire. It's flying in the sky. That's what dragons do.
Starting point is 00:58:18 They fly and they shoot fire out of their mouth. So my assumption is it is that. And also, we start seeing it right after DeNaris gave birth. Right. It gave birth. I'm saying gay birth, but it feels like she gave birth to three dragons. So I'm giving it that link mostly because I'm like, well, that's the one that makes the most sense but I guess we'll see it didn't it didn't seem to pop up after um that first episode we
Starting point is 00:58:43 used it to cut back and forth a lot a lot of transitions yeah but we didn't look at it here in this latest episode which I didn't mind I wasn't reading into it too much um Curtis meaning like oh where's a meteor and what is it actually going to mean because you know the show is basically just going to show us like well who who wins right like who's going to actually take over here in a way um But yeah, I thought these episodes were really great. I mean, obviously we're starting out by seeing DeNaris with the dragons, but then it goes downhill real quick.
Starting point is 00:59:19 The dragons are not eating. They are starving and they're so thirsty. And she was like, I vowed to protect these people and she's not. It's making it look terrible. Like the dragons might die and she might too. And now Stannis is over there and he's like, cool, I'm going to go fight. But he realizes he can't because Renley has the 100,000 men that he actually needs to fight.
Starting point is 00:59:45 So they're kind of bull screwed. I don't think Renley has enough men to get her done. And then Kat and Rob are over there basically going like, well, we still need to get our sisters back, but we don't know where Aria is. So overall, it's just rough living throughout these episodes. everyone is in an in an unsteady like a plot point especially like with ari and and gendry finding out that she's a girl thank goodness he teases her and says my lady and he doesn't start yelling like this is aria stark hopefully he'll protect her we'll see um but those guys in gold did say we will be back with a ton more men and i'm not it's obviously the guys at the wall know how to fight that's what they're trained for but so are the king's landing people so we'll see you when the when the guys in gold come back if they actually can kill the the men around aria because then we'd be screwed we know
Starting point is 01:00:49 aria knows how to fight she's little enough to hide and maybe gendry just too because he's you know a blacksmith my assumption is he knows how to use sword so we'll see i don't know it's been it's been very interesting i've loved watching the show do you have any last thoughts yeah just the first two episodes are incredible and incredible launching pad from the encapsulating season one, which ended on such an incredible cliffhanger of, you know, what we saw with the Calisi, rather, DeNaris. And then to see, like, on such a downtrot right now with, again, as you pointed out, that they are literally starving and dying of thirst. And also, same thing with the dragons, it would be so damn, again, small little prediction. I would be so damn satisfying. The guys
Starting point is 01:01:32 who beheaded the blood of her blood if they were able to kill the men who did that and then the dragons ate those men literally the meat of them so that would be very cool and satisfying and then even too like getting into the family of Greyjoy
Starting point is 01:01:48 and seeing like how despicable and awful and why they are not to be trusted to and they crave power and they crave revenge over the Starks and it's going to be interesting to see the dramatic the dramatic conflict because Greyjoy the last nine years grew a, rather like, grew a fondness and a friendship and had that family core and dynamic
Starting point is 01:02:08 and rapport with the Starks and with Rob specifically. So like, and his father has always, it seems like, ostracized him and treated him so awful. So it's going to be very fascinating. Like when conflict arises, which it's apparently going to, which side does he choose? So I'm, I'm anxious to see that. It creates interesting dynamics and, and, dramatic effects for us as the audience that makes it very fascinating to watch. So I can't wait to see it. There's just so many different storylines that are just incredible to watch right now. And they've really set it up nicely in the first two episodes.
Starting point is 01:02:46 So so many different things that are going on. Amazing, amazing show. It's my favorite right now. Great show. Happy to be here. We love you guys. Make sure you do all the stuff. Like, like leave comments.
