So just a reminder, if you guys join Patreon, you can send us questions for anything that we are watching. So first thing we'll do is just go straight to our questions. So keep that in mind.

Starting point is 00:01:58 All right. Let's get to it. Lauren G. Has your favorite storyline based on characters being followed changed it all from season one to two now that you're a little further into the season. Oh. Let me read that again. Sorry, I was taking my headache. Your favorite storyline has it changed from season one to season two? Hard to say.

Starting point is 00:02:18 Honestly, I'm, Lauren, I'm truly invested in all these storylines. There's not one storyline where I'm like, I'm sick of this one. I want to go to the other one. I know, like, the question is particularly, is there one specific storyline that is your favorite of all the great ones? Because they're all great. I would say Tyrion's my favorite one. I know that is the generic answer because he's the most awesome. So, no, it hasn't changed.

Starting point is 00:02:44 Not for you. It was Tyrion before. I'm so locked into every single one. Yeah, I get it. They're all my favorite storylines. That's how good they all are. It's just he has my favorite scenes is what I'll say. But I love where every storyline is going because you get to.

Starting point is 00:02:58 to see all these characters. Again, they're lining themselves up for power and a lot of them know how to play the game, but also you get to see a lot of them in vulnerable places too. So I think the interactions are just so damn fascinating. The drama is so good. The action is so good. The horrific violence is so good. It just, it really hits you. Everything is so well done. So I wouldn't say it's changed, but I just say, again, everything is so immersive where I'm locked into every single storyline. I would say that. What about you?

Starting point is 00:03:30 Yeah. I really like where we ended with like the lady, Lord of Light Lady. That was wild to me. And now I am very curious as to what in the actual thaw is going to happen there. So I'm going to throw that out as like,

Starting point is 00:03:51 I need to know. And what is this demon? Gotta know it. Mad love. Are you surprised? it all by Theon's betrayal of the Starz and what do you think should or will be Rob's punishment for his betrayal?

Starting point is 00:04:04 No, I'm not surprised because again he was, you could see and hear I think in season one if I remember correctly he had been talking a little bit here and there about his family and for someone who has been rejected and seeks to get acceptance

Starting point is 00:04:21 from them it's not hard to see why he is choosing this path but Again, at the end of the day, the Starks did bring him in, and they took him in as one of their own and never treated him as a dog, as he would say that, you know, his father traded him as. So at the end of the day, my belief, and again, this is not me reading spoilers, this is just my personal gut reaction, or my gut feeling, rather. I truly believe at the end of the day, he is not going to choose his sister and his father,

Starting point is 00:04:52 whatever he is doing right now. He's going to choose the Starks at the end of the day. But his decision right now is not that shocking, to be quite honest. What about you? I'm a little 50-50 on it. Like, you would somewhat expect it because of how much he wants to be accepted by his father. And he wanted to prove himself. But then he realizes that his sister is actually more of a badass than him.

Starting point is 00:05:23 And his father respects his sister way more than him. It's still as though he's still being. thrown out, even though he's actually there in their presence. I'm not sure if Rob would actually give him a punishment. It depends on, like, the actual level of violence that they would create at coming at the Starks. Like, I don't know how he's actually going to come at the Starks with the Greyjoys. If it's very severe, obviously Rob can totally just kill him.

Starting point is 00:05:59 If it's not and it's like a talk, then my assumption is he's not going to do much. But that's just my guess. Well, the gray joys are say or the dad is an absolute psychopath. He wants power and he wants revenge on the Starks. So it's not going to be a talk. He wants revenge. And if it goes that path and Theon does not choose the side of the. Starks, it's going to end in a beheading

Starting point is 00:06:26 from Rob to Theon. I don't see it going that way and I see Theon choosing the side of the Starks. We'll see what happens though. From Tara. Thank you so much for being a Royal Reject and for asking the question. We appreciate you so much. Hi, Terran, Andrew. Hi, Tara. What are your thoughts on the Stark Girl's journey

Starting point is 00:06:41 so far? Sansa is trapped in King's Landing, being tormented, forced to play in the game and then Aria trying to get home dressed as a boy and now in Tywin's hands. That's crazy. Luckily, Tywin doesn't know who she really is if you could advise them what would you tell each of them what advice would you give to both of them um i think that sansa is actually playing the game pretty well right she's uh

Starting point is 00:07:11 in that last scene she's like my duty is to the king he's my king yada yada um i think you have to keep your enemies really close and obviously ari is going to be close to our biggest enemy, which is Tywin Lannister, because we're trying to obviously take them down. I mean, if she's close enough, he did say cup bearer. I would say in order to survive, just do your job the right way because he knows that you're a girl, but he doesn't know who you are yet. But we are close to being like, well, can we damage them in any way, having Aria that close?

Starting point is 00:07:48 Same with Sonsa, although Sonsa had the opportunity to actually, you know, push Joffrey, but then again, like, she'd probably be beheaded in the moment, right, if she did that. So I would say just keep him close unless your life is in danger. I think Sonsa's doing the right thing. And I think Aria is smarter and a little more savage or a lot more savage than Sonsa. So I think Aria in that position, I think she's, going to cause some damage that he, Lord Tywin and anyone else may not be able to figure out.

Starting point is 00:08:31 That is what I hope. For sure. For sure. Those are some astute points. I agree with everything you're saying. I think also, too, when it comes to Aria, the element of surprise is a very formidable attack. So the fact that she is, as you say, keep your friends close and your enemies closer.

Starting point is 00:08:45 I think that is going to help her and whatever she ends up doing or to use that information to help her later on. So that is going to be some very, very fascinating. and interesting interactions between her and Taiwan, especially the fact that Taiwan doesn't even know who she is. Also, I know she can't, like, maybe hand one-on-one. I don't know if she could defeat him in battle, even though Sirono, I think his name was,

Starting point is 00:09:05 who trained her in the combat. I don't know if she could beat him one-on-one, but again, as I mentioned, the element of surprise is a very formidable attack, especially if your enemy thinks that you are weak, you know, make him think you're weak when you're strong. So that's going to be fascinating. When it comes to Sansa,

Starting point is 00:09:21 I love how she's keeping up the facade and playing the game, And she doesn't even realize she's got two allies backed in her corner, rather three. You know, when you got Tyrion, you got Shea, and I forgot Tyrion's amazing bodyguard. He is awesome. I love that guy so much. So she's got three people in her corner and she doesn't even realize it. So because she doesn't know who to trust at this point. Understandably, so she is doing the smart thing by trusting no one right now and just playing the game.

Starting point is 00:09:46 So I would advise Sonsa, keep doing what you're doing, let people's actions speak to you. And once you see who Tyrion really is, which I think she's starting to see, like, when he came to save her, really, from being beaten in the hall. That should speak a lot to the nobility and the type of human being and man that, and the difference in Lannister, that a piece of shit, an arrogant, little sniveling weasel that Joffrey is versus the courageous and honorable human being that Tyrion is so. And I think she also sees, too, Shea is not really a handwoman or maid woman or whatever it's called, and sees like, okay, these people. People actually are here for me. They care for me, and I can confide in them. I can trust them. And this is going to help me in whatever the long game I have to do.

Starting point is 00:10:28 So keep doing what you're doing, and you're going to build that rapport and that trust with Tyrion, with Che, and Tyrion's awesome bodyguard. Hopefully so. Alex Meza. Have you picked up on the opening credits changing every episode? The locations on the map are locations will see during the episode. And I think that's so freaking cool and creative. Yes, Alex. In this one, specifically for this episode, Carth was added.

Starting point is 00:10:50 which was very cool. That was the first time we saw that. And I do agree with you. Yes, it's pretty cool. I think I pointed it out every time like something new is... You do and thank God you do because I am conducting a symphony while the opening credits are going on.

Starting point is 00:11:05 So I'm not fully locked in. I need to do a better job. But you are also pointing it out for me. So I appreciate you on that. And thank you, Alex, for pointing that out as well. It's just, it's multitasking. You know, when you're conducting an epic score like that and trying to visually pay attention to.

Starting point is 00:11:20 So I will definitely. try to do better job with it. Difficult life for Andrew here. I'm saying, guys, I have to watch movies and TV shows for a living and teach baseball. My life sucks. I know. Tough times. Anyways, thank you for the question. Alex. Jay Rushden. What up, Jay? Question. She gave birth to the shadow monster is the weirdest part so far there. That's definitely one of the most wackadoo parts we've seen on the show so far. I would go. It's definitely up there. If it's not the most weirdest part, I would say feeding off little babies to wildlings and

Starting point is 00:11:52 white walkers, although I understand the purpose of doing that. It's to feed them and the sacrificial ways of keeping them offended off so that they don't attack us. So even though I still don't agree with it, but I understand the purpose of doing it. But I would definitely say

Starting point is 00:12:08 I don't think, I mean, I know Tara has seen the show and it's been a while and she doesn't remember a lot, but I was not expecting that. That was creepy and weird and I already thought that woman was off her frickin' rockers as hot as she is and the whole fanatic and whole religious side

Starting point is 00:12:24 of what she and her you know what beliefs are is just insane and you can see it's driving not Renly Rennis Stannis Dang it got to remember all these days it's driving Stannis to a place of madness and insanity

Starting point is 00:12:41 and it's going to take him down a dark path I mean he's already threatening to kill his brother at dawn you know this is a family member of his I'm curious I know they said like You know, you wanted no part of people or in general in the past, but I can't imagine their relationship was beyond that type of strain was like horrific and like they hated each other or something, but he's willing to kill his brother for power. So, you know, I think this woman

Starting point is 00:13:06 is clearly, besides the shadow monster before that, she's clearly leading this guy down the wrong path, Stan. So, you know, I feel bad for you and that's just a lesson for all of us in life. Gotta be very careful about the people we surround ourselves with. It's a good lesson for all of us. So what about you? Yeah. Um, I definitely think it had that sci-fi effect to it. It's definitely the weirdest thing that we have seen. We haven't gotten special effects in that way, like CGI where you're like, what in the actual F, dude? It's not even a real freaking baby, yet they still juiced it, right? She still needed him to like juice it to get it out there. And I'm like, that's freaking weird. Women can do a lot with,

Starting point is 00:13:50 sex like that is what this storyline is saying is that like we can make stannis our pawn because she is like a hot woman who like basically is just like I'll give you what you need so we're going to have to see because I mean we do realize that he has the wife she was saying you're disgusted by her she's hiding somewhere he like keeps her up in a castle he doesn't see her So none of that currently matters right now, but she is the one that is always with him by his side and is now just birthed some weird-ass creature, which I'm now thinking could be the big difference between Stannis fighting and possibly winning over Renley because Renley doesn't have, he doesn't have a secret weird monster that was birthed as some Lord of Light lately. lady's vagina you know what i mean like it's getting weird over here so definitely the weirdest and we're just going to have to see that is not a sentence i thought i was going to hear in this review we're going to have to see uh lady lights vagina uh anyways yeah that was uh again i'm so invested

Starting point is 00:15:08 in all these storylines as we said like davos now seeing that i'm curious to see how he reacts next episode and obviously with tyrian with the cousin that was one of my favorite interaction I know I say that about Tyrion every episode but it's like they just write this character so well he just again knows how the game he knows how the game works he knows how to size people up he knows how to read people

Starting point is 00:15:28 he is so damn smart he's the most perfect person to be in King's Landing in this position like as much as wise as Ned Stark was Tyrion knows how to play the game and that's why he's going to hopefully survive way longer and you know continue to do what he's doing

Starting point is 00:15:46 so uh yeah It's just really great stuff. I'm so obsessed with every portion of the storylines. And also, too, another great scene was Lord Baylish Little Finger and Kat. You can really see as much of an arrogant, toxic human being that he is, especially when he's talking down to the women that work for him, you can see how vulnerable because he's so in love with this woman. And then he was trying to, you know, come out with her with the deal. And also, he lied about half the deal. So curious to see where that storyline goes as well.

Starting point is 00:16:14 There's just so much that's happening. And then, of course, we got to the new city. Quarth, Carth. We'll never be able to pronounce anything ever. Sorry, guys. But, yeah, there is just so many different facets and layers. And, again, it's just a credit to the writers for you to be able to truly have an ensemble and be able to follow it cohesively and not be, like, disengaged, rather.

Starting point is 00:16:37 And, again, you can also have episodes where certain characters, like, we didn't have John Snow, I believe, in this episode or any of the, you know, that crew. And Sam Tarley, like. No, they go on and. off on and off throughout this yeah for you to be able to have episodes where you're missing key characters and still be fully engaged it's truly an ensemble and those are my honestly stranger things this those are my favorite type of shows when you can like have missing characters missing and still have an incredible immersive well executed show episode yeah yeah it's well written

Starting point is 00:17:06 well directed happy to be here we love you guys for joining us leave all the comments leave the likes tell us how cool we are we'll see you on the next one Thank you.
