Starting point is 00:02:17 Ring the bell. And thank you to PrEP for helping out of down these highlights. We super appreciate you. So why don't you read this first question, then I'm going to look to make sure there isn't any more. 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 dendry i remember really liking that character i like him so far too i know we don't know a ton about him other than you know he's barathian's

Starting point is 00:02:46 bastard son uh but he seems very honorable and uh just a little bit we've gotten to interact with him i do like his rapport with aria aria so far and also the fact that he's that he's that 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. 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.

Starting point is 00:03:24 And I really am enjoying his interactions with Aria so far. What about you, Tara? yeah i like um jendry a lot i'm just making sure we have all the questions guys one second okay um 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 my princess where he actually was like dang i've been pissed in front of you i shouldn't been doing that like um 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 and a shared secrecy right or he doesn't know that he is king barathians like a bastard son but now he does know that it is aria stark and

Starting point is 00:04:19 my assumption is that he is going to protect her without saying anything that is what i'm I hope, because he seems like a stand-up dude, 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.

Starting point is 00:04:40 Quick wit, charm. 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 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 uh passion

Starting point is 00:05:34 from peter dinklage and you can just like as an audience member i love every second he's on the screen uh 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 is 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. 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.

Starting point is 00:06:19 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 are threatening me in your like little bird speak. But what Game of Thrones really does, I mean, R.R. 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 Varus is like, trust me, like, I'll still, I'll still be back, even if you try to kill me.

Starting point is 00:06:55 And then 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 to let him die Didn't care And then you know Searcy hates him

Starting point is 00:07:18 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. 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 Landing. But also we see the way that he just treats everyone else,

Starting point is 00:07:48 which is very unlike most Lannisters. Yeah. And also, too, so sorry, I was just like, going to say, too, I think that interaction he had with the head guard Janos, so yeah, however you say his name, that was one of the coolest exchanges because I hated that character. Not only after what he did

Starting point is 00:08:04 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, it's a testament to his character and how much of a moral complex

Starting point is 00:08:20 and code he has, but also to 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

Starting point is 00:08:41 or I guess in the father's perspective from the loss of his wife and they literally put it all on Tyrion so I feel like that's where all the animosity towards him comes right so it's sad because he literally He didn't do anything. He was just being born. So I just, you feel bad for him in that sense. But also, too, I wouldn't, I wouldn't hate myself if these awful characters who related to me, my blood, didn't like me.

Starting point is 00:09:07 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. Reject Nation, you know those nights when you're starving, the fridge is empty, and you absolutely don't want to cook or leave the house. or heck, you might even be at an office and you've got a limited lunch hour. You don't want to spend any of that time driving on the road. This time is precious. It's situations like this when Uber Eats saves M-Wa.

All right, Jay Rushin.

Starting point is 00:10:38 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. Which is what I assume Jay is trying to say. Oh, okay. I remember he was in the movie The Martian. But a question, we meet a bunch of new characters

Starting point is 00:10:54 who's the new favorite character I like the new red-headed witch but for specific reasons that you know that last scene with her she looked really good in that scene but new honestly though who's the new favorite character I don't know who are some new characters

Starting point is 00:11:12 that we've met I mean because you met Lord King Stanis you met Davos you met the red-headed who got... Sorry sorry I I think I liked what's his name 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,

Starting point is 00:11:30 and he seems like, again, a very noble and wise person. And I'm 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.

Starting point is 00:11:53 it's very important to have good surrounding company because they can lead you down a pad or good path. You know what I mean? So I think I don't know what the character's name is. He's, 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

Starting point is 00:12:15 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,

Starting point is 00:12:37 maybe, I guess. 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 San Francisco. Oh, you know what I think is really creepy? I don't love this character, but the fact that Theon Greyjoy has a freaking sister

Starting point is 00:13:01 who he boned on a horse prior to arriving home to see his dad, Bailon 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? Oh, she did. Why old? Wacketed.

Starting point is 00:13:23 And then I think I would also say that we also saw, what do we also see? Oh, when we go to Castle Black and we see Samwell 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. I mean, it was very sweet, that he was trying to save her. 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.

Starting point is 00:14:06 Curtis Ockerman, a mysterious red comment stores above. Our heroes and villain, whose explanation for its appearance do 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

Starting point is 00:14:30 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 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

Starting point is 00:14:48 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. They fly and they shoot fire out of their mouth.

Starting point is 00:15:15 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,

Starting point is 00:15:31 that's the one that makes the most sense. But I guess we'll see. It didn't seem to pop up after that first episode. We 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.

Starting point is 00:15:46 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 wins, right? Like, who's going to actually take over here in a way? Um, but yeah, I thought these, these episodes, um, were really great. I mean, obviously we're starting out, um, by seeing DeNaris with the dragons, but then it goes downhill real quick. The dragons are not eating.

Starting point is 00:16:15 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. So they're kind of bull screwed.

Starting point is 00:16:42 I don't think Renley has enough men to get her done. and then Kat and Rob over there basically going like, well, we still need to get our sisters back, but we don't know where Ariah is. So overall, it's just rough living throughout these episodes. Everyone is in an unsteady, like, plot point, especially like with Ari and Gendry finding out that she's a girl. Thank goodness he teases her and says,

Starting point is 00:17:14 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 the men around aria because then we'd be screwed we know aria know how to fight and she's little enough to hide and maybe Gendry does too because he's you know a blacksmith my assumption is he knows

Starting point is 00:17:49 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 an incredible launching pad from the encapsulating season one which ended on such an

Starting point is 00:18:05 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 who beheaded the blood of her blood if she if they

Starting point is 00:18:30 were able to kill the the men who did that and then the dragons ate those men uh literally the the meat of them uh so that would be very cool and satisfying and then even too like getting into the family of Greyjoy 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 conflict

Starting point is 00:18:53 because Grayjoy the last nine years grew a rather like grew a fondness and a friendship and had that family core and dynamic and rapport with the Starks and with Rob specifically so like and his father has always it seems like

Starting point is 00:19:09 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 anxious to see that. It creates interesting dynamics 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. So so many different things that are going on amazing amazing show it's my 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 no

Starting point is 00:19:53 spoilers tell us we're cool we'll see you on the next one
