1 00:00:48,140 --> 00:00:51,700 George R Martin was the first ever attendee. 2 00:00:51,700 --> 00:00:55,340 Well badge owner. He was badge number one at the 3 00:00:55,340 --> 00:00:58,420 first ever New York Comic Con in 1964. 4 00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:02,440 Here in 2025, me and a Shay attended our first New York 5 00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:04,680 Comic Con. I really don't know what badge 6 00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:08,880 numbers those would be. Adding all the badges up since 7 00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:11,680 1964. Well, it's a large number. 8 00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:15,040 There were over 250,000 people there this year alone. 9 00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:18,440 We were front row for the spotlight on George R Martin. 10 00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:22,000 And before that we attended the live premiere of the first 11 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:25,160 Dunkin Egg trailer and the follow up panel which included 12 00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:28,560 Peter Clappy who is Dunk, Dexter, Sol Ansel who is Egg, 13 00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:31,560 Ira Parker the showrunner, and George himself. 14 00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:35,080 We'll talk about all that. But after the main attraction 15 00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:40,720 here, our usual traditional shot by shot breakdown, deep dive 16 00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:42,560 into the trailer, the first ever trailer. 17 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:47,280 It's so exciting of Night of the Seven Kingdoms, and we will be 18 00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:51,240 doing our best to connect what we're seeing in the trailer to 19 00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:55,360 the parallel scenes in the book. There'll be a few spoilers, of 20 00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:58,880 course, but nothing you don't already know 99% of if you've 21 00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:01,560 read The Hedge Knight, so nothing to worry about there. 22 00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:03,880 A lot of the characters are visible, so we'll get to point 23 00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:05,200 them out. It's really fun to see all the 24 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:08,600 armor and heraldry especially, which is going to be a big focus 25 00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,560 of the visuals for the season, and that's fun. 26 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:13,600 Sir Dantos would be happy for that. 27 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:16,440 Some of the Targaryen armor in particular is amazing. 28 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:19,760 This is an era, ironically, when Targaryen armor probably peaked 29 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:21,800 because, well, none of them rode Dragons. 30 00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:25,840 So they had to do a little more to intimidate or to seem strong. 31 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,960 And that included going to smaller tournaments like this 32 00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:32,040 one. And they knew people would see 33 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:35,280 them up close more often. So all the more reason to go all 34 00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:38,840 out with your armor. So we've got all that and more 35 00:02:38,920 --> 00:02:41,880 on this episode of History of Westeros Podcast. 36 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:49,320 Hello and welcome everybody. We are live streaming at not a 37 00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:52,160 usual time, though it kind of is a usual time. 38 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,640 This is our normal time slot for my Twitch streams, which is 39 00:02:55,640 --> 00:02:58,160 Crusader Kings 3 for A Song of Ice and Fire. 40 00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:03,480 We play a dynastic style role-playing game where you take 41 00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:04,800 over as your heir every time you die. 42 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:09,040 And we're currently playing, very relevantly, the House from 43 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:10,520 the Sworn Sword. Osgrey. 44 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,960 Yeah, blanked out on the name Osgrey, where we've actually 45 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:15,920 become the kings of Chucky. So I was thinking, kept 46 00:03:15,920 --> 00:03:18,440 thinking, Chucky. Yeah, the Chucky lion has risen 47 00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:19,280 strong. So. 48 00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:21,640 But today we're doing the Dunkin Egg trailer and our New York 49 00:03:21,640 --> 00:03:25,640 Comic Con review, which is pretty fun and we've got a lot 50 00:03:25,640 --> 00:03:27,920 to talk about. This will be, of course, 51 00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:29,640 something will change during the season. 52 00:03:29,640 --> 00:03:31,440 We'll figure out what. Our usual time slot is probably 53 00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:35,360 Mondays for reviews of the show, but we'll let you know if you're 54 00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:37,760 watching us now, Thanks for being here live. 55 00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:41,440 But you can also catch us on other platforms, particularly 56 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:45,760 Spotify where you get an edited video or on Patreon where you 57 00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:48,840 get ad free.

Now our trivia question. 61 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:04,560 Dunk believes that Sir Humphrey Harding, the one with the 62 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:09,560 diamonds, sigil, or and heraldry red and white, was the most 63 00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:13,520 impressive of the first day. How many nights did he humble? 64 00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,560 Meaning defeat? How many nights did he humble 65 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,160 the the wording that Dunk himself uses when he thinks 66 00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:23,040 about it. Answer at the end and answer 67 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:25,040 during. If you're clever, you'll hear me 68 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:30,600 pointed out during conversation. Also, let me read you these cool 69 00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:32,640 section headers. This is what we're going to be 70 00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:35,200 talking about today. We've got our intro and our set 71 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:36,440 up. Then the first night of the 72 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:38,400 Seven Kingdoms. We're going to divide it into a 73 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,160 few sections. The trailer on the road, Ashford 74 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:45,760 at the camp and stables, the Targaryen scenes, the tourney, 75 00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:50,320 the joust that is. And we'll culminate that with 76 00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:52,360 the scenes from the Trial of seven. 77 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:55,320 And then we'll finish this episode up with all our New York 78 00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:58,320 Comic Con George R Martin panel content. 79 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:02,800 So let's also have a quick poll for you guys who are live here. 80 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:05,640 I'm curious which of these characters are you most excited 81 00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:08,280 to see on screen? Not necessarily your favorite 82 00:05:08,280 --> 00:05:12,800 character, not necessarily the one you have the most interest 83 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:16,640 in as far as the plot, but just what they look like and how 84 00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:20,800 they're presented and all that. And the four choices are not 85 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:25,600 dunker egg, Baylor breaks beer, Makar Targaryen and his brother 86 00:05:25,840 --> 00:05:29,080 Tenzel too tall, or the Laughing Storm. 87 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:34,520 There's something special about the first trailer for Season 1 88 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:39,240 of any show, and you could be getting into something that 89 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:42,400 lasts a really long time. This one's extra special because 90 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:46,560 it obviously has things that precede it, big shoes that 91 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:49,160 precede it, but it's not trying to fill those shoes, it's trying 92 00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:53,680 to do something different. And we as fans who have read The 93 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:56,480 Hedge and I are already sold on that idea. 94 00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:58,640 We've already read it, we already get it, we already like 95 00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:02,200 it or love it. And even when the first TV show 96 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:05,800 was crutching records was destroying all the previous 97 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:10,600 standards for success, the idea of The Hedge and I kind of 98 00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:15,520 seemed a bit far fetched as an adaptation, even though so many 99 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:17,920 of us like it, if not love it. As I said, it's just such a 100 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:21,480 different animal, right? It doesn't have a lot of the 101 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:23,760 elements. That might be why the original 102 00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:27,080 show is so popular. And it's so hard to say exactly 103 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:29,760 what made it so popular because so many things worked. 104 00:06:30,280 --> 00:06:32,640 Dragons though. No Dragons, no threat from the 105 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:36,840 north, no white Walker type thing, not even free folk, no 106 00:06:36,840 --> 00:06:41,720 grand plotting, no weddings of different colors, purple, red or 107 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,280 whatever. You not even a war, not even 108 00:06:44,280 --> 00:06:48,600 multiple PO VS So these are reasons why even though Game of 109 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:50,600 Thrones are successful, it's like, well, could they really 110 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:55,080 make the hedge night? On the other hand, the one POV 111 00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:59,360 Dunk most resembles is Brienne. And we love Brienne again, as 112 00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:04,440 show as book readers, what we're a minority, but hey, Brienne was 113 00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:08,560 really popular on the show too, so that really worked. 114 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:11,160 That's a great connection. They liked the what she brought 115 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:14,320 to the table as a character, her personality and the way she 116 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:15,720 stood out. And we'll see some of that from 117 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:16,360 Dunk. I think. 118 00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:19,880 As I talked about briefly in the intro, the the Targaryen armor. 119 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:25,240 There's as many Targaryen suits of armor in this trailer, just 120 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:28,440 this trailer as there is in Hot D in Game of Thrones combined. 121 00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:30,600 Pretty sure of that. I might, I could be wrong. 122 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:33,320 Danny wears bits and pieces but nothing close to a full suit. 123 00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:36,840 So I don't count any of Daenerys kit as being armor. 124 00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:39,560 Jon Snow, even if you count him as a Targaryen, which he 125 00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:42,320 shouldn't probably, he doesn't wear heavy armor anyway so it 126 00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:44,760 doesn't matter. In hot D. 127 00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:47,000 Damon wears armor. His armor is awesome. 128 00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:49,120 Aegon the Second wore Aegon the First armor. 129 00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:51,800 That was pretty awesome. And Rainey swore armor and her 130 00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:55,200 armor was really cool too. I think those are the only three 131 00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:56,800 though. Aamon didn't wear armor. 132 00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:59,360 And you know, the other people we see ride Dragons aren't 133 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:01,520 Targaryen, they're Valarian. Yeah. 134 00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:07,600 Or, you know, off the white. So armor is a really broad 135 00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:10,720 palette for creativity. Like, it fits pretty well in the 136 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:15,080 realm of, you know, fashion is a gigantic world and medieval 137 00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:17,200 style fashion, too. Armor is part of that. 138 00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:19,880 You could have a lot of options. There's a lot of parts and bits 139 00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:22,280 and pieces, different ways to color it and shape it. 140 00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:25,000 We'll see a lot of that creativity on display in the 141 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:28,200 show, and obviously not just from the Targaryens, from a lot 142 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:29,520 of these other houses. We're going to see a lot of 143 00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:31,200 jousts. There's going to be, remember 144 00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:33,760 one of the things the Laughing Storm does is he knocks crests 145 00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:35,799 off people's helmets and tosses in the crowd. 146 00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:37,760 We may not see that specifically. 147 00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:41,120 That may be a little too hard to pull off that precision, but 148 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:44,560 we'll we'll still probably see those crests, you know, whether 149 00:08:44,560 --> 00:08:45,840 they're getting knocked off or not. 150 00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:49,960 And I mentioned the three that we're going to see Aryan's armor 151 00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:53,080 in the trailer, Makar's armor brief kind of in the trailer and 152 00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:56,760 Valar's armor that Baylor wears. We also have Darren's armor, 153 00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:58,600 which we don't seem to see in the trailer. 154 00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:01,120 So there's going to be a fourth one by the time we see the show. 155 00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:04,480 And that's going to mean the most we've ever seen Targaryen 156 00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:07,280 armor in all prior Game of Thrones products. 157 00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:09,360 That's pretty wild. Let's look at on the road. 158 00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:12,520 This is basically where the first shot of the trailer starts 159 00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:15,880 and it's Dunk is in the rain with Sir Arlen's body. 160 00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:19,560 We've got it on screen. He's digging it up and laying 161 00:09:19,560 --> 00:09:21,600 the body down. He's you see him holding him at 162 00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:23,920 one point. That's pretty much straight from 163 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:25,840 the book. There's a little change there. 164 00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:27,720 Instead. It had recently rained. 165 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:29,560 He knew it was about to rain again. 166 00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:31,480 Big. You know, that's a very small 167 00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:33,800 change, right? And it's a reminder how strong 168 00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:35,640 he is. He's holding this man doesn't 169 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:37,080 seem to have any, any trouble with it. 170 00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:40,280 Dunk, from his POV in the book, thinks that Sir Arlen is like a 171 00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:42,760 bag of leaves. We get the shot of the three 172 00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:44,640 horses together. That's very exciting. 173 00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:46,880 We love the horses. We got Thunder, the big and 174 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:49,640 brown one. We got Chestnut, the chestnut 175 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:51,600 colored one. Sweetfoot is white. 176 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:55,760 Sweetfoot's color isn't really given in the wiki, so it looks 177 00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:56,880 like most people didn't catch it. 178 00:09:56,880 --> 00:10:00,640 Sweetfoot is copper colored. That's very under the radar. 179 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:03,200 I only figured that out while preparing for this episode 180 00:10:03,680 --> 00:10:07,480 because it's described as sorrel and a horse and a sorrel's type 181 00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:08,960 of plant. But when it's refers to a 182 00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:11,320 horse's coat, it's coppery. So they can be a lot of range 183 00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:13,080 within their reddish copper to goldish copper. 184 00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:16,680 But hey, I bet all the horse people got that and nobody else. 185 00:10:16,680 --> 00:10:18,200 Pretty much. Certainly if it's not in the 186 00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:21,160 wiki, that means it would it not didn't get caught by many 187 00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:23,480 people. So then he's finishing the grave 188 00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:26,800 and looks like he's doing a little prayer thinking about it, 189 00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:29,840 you know, saying some words. That's also from the book. 190 00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:32,600 And then we have this tagline, A tale 100 years before Game of 191 00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:33,960 Thrones. Yeah. 192 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:37,360 I mean, we would say we would quibble with that and say 90, 193 00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:42,520 but that's fine. And in the hedge night, it 194 00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:45,280 starts with the story offered here takes place about 100 years 195 00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:47,120 prior to the events described in the Game of Thrones. 196 00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,800 So it it also says about 100 years. 197 00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:51,400 It says 100 years. Whatever, That's nothing. 198 00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:53,680 We have this awesome shot of the sunrise. 199 00:10:53,680 --> 00:10:55,560 It's beautiful. This is probably the next. 200 00:10:55,560 --> 00:10:58,600 This is probably the Morning Dunk because Sir Arlen died in 201 00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:02,160 the night while it was he got caught a a chill from those 202 00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:06,920 rains and so you expect that Dunk buries him as the sun is 203 00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:09,280 rising. And then we get the full sunrise 204 00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:12,480 here and Dunk starts to check out the kit that he now has 205 00:11:12,560 --> 00:11:13,720 that's also straight from the book. 206 00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:16,680 He's like when we take an inventory, nothing fits him. 207 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:21,160 He except the sword is perfect. Also that and that's look looks 208 00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:23,120 like what we have here. Pretty much straight from the 209 00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:24,720 book. Then it jumps ahead to see some 210 00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:27,320 other we see some other scenes. We'll talk about this one in 211 00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:30,240 Ashford 'cause there's pretty much nothing else on the road 212 00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:33,360 for Dunk by himself in terms of shots from the trailer. 213 00:11:33,560 --> 00:11:36,240 We have this great shot is the Circo is being tossed over onto 214 00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:38,800 his head. That is a nice reference to how 215 00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:41,480 tall he is. This is probably Steely Pate 216 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:43,400 helping him get dressed at this point. 217 00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:47,040 Egg is going to be discovered and will be with his family. 218 00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:50,720 So someone else's suit, which is kind of ironic with the Squire 219 00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:52,560 and his most important moment of squiring. 220 00:11:52,560 --> 00:11:54,720 He's not there for it, but hey, you got to do what you got to 221 00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:58,080 do. And everything seems to be 222 00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:02,360 straight from the book, the rope belt, even that pommel in the in 223 00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:06,080 the in the hedge night. He has a Blackstone in the 224 00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:07,920 pommel. They just added a little bit of 225 00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:12,120 extra detail here by giving it A7 pointed star in the center. 226 00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:14,960 It's either like a coin or just a carving. 227 00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:17,480 Does it look like a coin to you? Kind of looks like there's a 228 00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:19,320 stuck a coin in there, but it could just be a carving. 229 00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:22,240 It's like a little copper or or bronze, something like that. 230 00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:25,240 Anyway, I thought that was a nice touch, you know, adding 231 00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:29,880 that in there and Dunk is looking pensive in the mix, in 232 00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:34,160 the midst of mix next here. So kind of pretty clear what's 233 00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:35,360 going on here. He's getting ready for the 234 00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:39,400 trial, putting on his big old helm, which is going to be not 235 00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:41,560 you, not a unique helm in general, but he's going to be 236 00:12:41,560 --> 00:12:43,560 the only one that has a helm like that that we see at least 237 00:12:43,560 --> 00:12:45,960 in the trailer. Straight out of Mike Miller's 238 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,480 comic adaptation. Some of this armor, this one in 239 00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:52,560 particular is, is just just exactly what Dunk's armor, what 240 00:12:52,560 --> 00:12:54,880 his helm looks like. Yeah, you're absolutely right. 241 00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:57,400 So it's something that's very familiar if you've seen the 242 00:12:57,400 --> 00:12:58,960 graphic novel, read it all the way through. 243 00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:02,920 What have you or seen art of it which is out there without you 244 00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:04,240 having to without even reading it. 245 00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:07,440 So this is going to be very iconic and memorable. 246 00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:11,200 One that George signed off on and it's just really cool. 247 00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:14,240 Then we get into a little of the we get a little bit of the Comic 248 00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:17,000 Relief here. We have a dunk and this stable 249 00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:20,600 guy or guy who works for Baylor, I guess, I don't know, he says, 250 00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:24,720 are you Baylor Targaryen and he's letting get out of the way, 251 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:26,960 etcetera, etcetera. So that's and that's a big part 252 00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:30,800 of the show, right, That the humor is a big aspect of this. 253 00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:32,720 It's always been an aspect of the other shows, but it's 254 00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:35,520 particularly important here. And it's a maybe a different 255 00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:37,960 kind of humor because of course we have a different kind of POV. 256 00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:42,400 We we don't have someone that's, you know, grew up around the 257 00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:45,840 dining room table telling, you know, certain jokes or polite or 258 00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:47,800 certain types of humor aren't appropriate. 259 00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:50,520 This is a different kind of guy. The orange bandage with the 260 00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:52,280 white Suns that we saw there, that's house Ashford. 261 00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:55,200 You'll see a lot of that just around because it's of course 262 00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:58,360 their castle, etcetera. We have this great shot of Dunk 263 00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:01,880 under the archway here. It looks, it's a very iconic 264 00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:06,720 kind of a similar framing shot that we get from a lot of shows, 265 00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:09,240 not just Game of Thrones. It's kind of a, a standard thing 266 00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:12,080 to do because it looks great, right? 267 00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:14,120 It's a, there's a reason it's done a lot. 268 00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:16,360 I love those nights on either side. 269 00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:21,480 This this statues that are in nightly posture getting ready 270 00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:25,400 for specifically a joust. It looks like that is very cool 271 00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:28,520 like that. Let's move forward to some shots 272 00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:32,840 from the stable and at camp. We've got our first shot of egg 273 00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:35,960 here at in the darkness. Of course, this is going to be 274 00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:37,840 familiar. This is their night, their first 275 00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:42,400 night together at at Ashford, but at by the campfire and they 276 00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:45,480 have their little other humorous conversation here where he asks 277 00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:48,360 if you have you, you know, are you have heard of Sir Duncan the 278 00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:49,920 Tall and he's like I've never heard of you. 279 00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:52,200 And he says what have you heard of all the Knights in the seven 280 00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:53,560 Kingdoms? The good ones? 281 00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:55,520 Yeah. So hey, that's introducing the 282 00:14:55,520 --> 00:15:01,360 character, showing that he's not afraid to say snarky things and 283 00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:02,480 all that. He's not afraid. 284 00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:04,760 Of junk too. And he he does know actually 285 00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:07,280 quite a lot of the night. Yeah, he's not. 286 00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:10,960 More than junk would realize. Yeah, he doesn't understand why 287 00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:12,920 he would know those things, but he's not lying. 288 00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:16,520 Yeah, He can't perceive the possibility there. 289 00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:19,120 So this is great. This is then we move on to 290 00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:21,000 seeing. This is probably the first scene 291 00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:25,080 where they meet right here, like literally the moment or briefly 292 00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:27,160 after the moment where they meet for the first time. 293 00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:29,880 And because he's taking his horses to the stable and that's 294 00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:32,680 where egg is and we get the line from the trailer. 295 00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:35,360 I could Squire for you, Sir. That's pretty much straight from 296 00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:37,040 the book as well. And it's great. 297 00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:38,800 We love it. We have this next day on the 298 00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:43,280 bridge. It says you don't have dogs. 299 00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:45,440 And we have that other joke and Dunk barking like a dog. 300 00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:47,360 That's pretty funny. That's not from the from the 301 00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:50,760 from the book, but it's a great add on, you know, a little bit 302 00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:53,760 like that. What do we have next year? 303 00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:56,840 Yeah, look at his reaction there. 304 00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:00,040 He's like, and then he jumps backwards. 305 00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:03,200 Got to love that. We have the great shot of the 306 00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:05,400 Targaryen procession coming across the bridge. 307 00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:09,880 It looks like Dunk is seeing them, and it's pretty 308 00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:12,280 intimidating from his perspective, from what we're 309 00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:14,760 used to. It's kind of small, right? 310 00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:18,720 It's still the biggest procession there, but from past 311 00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:22,120 shows, it just. It's not, it's a low, smaller 312 00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:24,480 scale, and that's the point. They aren't as powerful as they 313 00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:27,280 used to be, but they're still trying to flex a bit here and 314 00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:30,520 there to keep people from getting any ideas, which they 315 00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:33,560 did right. The Blackfyre Rebellion is only 316 00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:36,400 15 years in the past. It's an open question how much 317 00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:39,840 the Blackfyre Rebellion will be discussed in this show. 318 00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:41,480 It needs to be discussed at least a little bit. 319 00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:43,960 It wasn't mentioned in the Hedge night, but that is a obvious 320 00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:45,720 thing that needs to be corrected. 321 00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:48,400 It would be a bit weird not have it mentioned at all. 322 00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:52,080 Maybe it's only mentioned a little bit, but yeah, I think 323 00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:54,400 we'll see at least a little talk about it, maybe just a sentence 324 00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:57,040 or two. Now we have the puppet show 325 00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:59,280 here. We have the pretty much straight 326 00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:02,080 from the book again, it's great. The dragon breathing fire. 327 00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:07,839 The third show that comes up is Serwin of the Mirror Shield, and 328 00:17:07,839 --> 00:17:09,839 that's pretty cool. That's the one that's going to 329 00:17:09,839 --> 00:17:12,640 be the one that happens when egg bursts in. 330 00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:14,839 If that's how they if they keep it the same from the book. 331 00:17:14,839 --> 00:17:17,760 So that's pretty exciting. You have an actual person who's 332 00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:20,640 about to defeat the dragon. So that's kind of a little 333 00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:24,079 hidden symbolism there, that the play that's happening right 334 00:17:24,079 --> 00:17:28,040 before the conflict happens with Dunk and Aryan is. 335 00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:30,880 Yeah, well, it's the thing that gets Aryan upset is he sees the 336 00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:32,600 dragon lose, and that makes him mad. 337 00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:37,080 Of course, he's already mad because of what happened during 338 00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:40,400 the joust and him having to give his horse up and all that stuff. 339 00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:42,360 So that's part of why he's frustrated. 340 00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:45,200 And here's. Where I'll point out the sermon 341 00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:48,960 of the mirror shield is Tensell. You can see when I zoom in, it's 342 00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:51,680 it's pretty clearly Tanzan Crawford. 343 00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:57,360 And it just makes sense for her to play the main role in this 344 00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:01,600 show and for her to play the character that will piss Aryan 345 00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:03,600 off. So it just doubly makes sense. 346 00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:05,760 But you can see you can recognize her pretty clearly 347 00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:07,280 when you zoom in. Pretty cool. 348 00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:09,640 Yeah, 'cause he he's going to attack the people who are 349 00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:12,280 actually doing the puppetry. And you're right, it's the the 350 00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:14,680 actual Serwin is the offensive one, the one that beats the 351 00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:15,600 dragon. That's a great point. 352 00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:18,040 Yeah, I like that. And of course, we have this, the 353 00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:19,960 trailer shot of Dunk kind of noticing Tanzel. 354 00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:22,120 It's nice and sweet, them looking at each other, making 355 00:18:22,120 --> 00:18:24,760 eyes briefly, I suppose, although we don't know if she 356 00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:28,120 looks back, but she probably does. 357 00:18:28,360 --> 00:18:30,560 You never know what scene we're actually seeing, if it's two 358 00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:31,960 different scenes being spliced together. 359 00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:35,640 So we have this, the master of games here, Plummer. 360 00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:38,480 We have the line being said in the trailer. 361 00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:40,840 I was Squire to Arlene, a penny tree since I was a boy. 362 00:18:41,120 --> 00:18:43,960 This is almost certainly spoken to Plummer as it is in the book, 363 00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:46,560 because he's trying to prove that he's a knight. 364 00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:51,120 And we have the plumber kind of hawk and spit into his cup, and 365 00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:54,240 I can only imagine what the heck is going on there. 366 00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:56,880 But it's just more of the show's sense of humor, I suppose. 367 00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:02,720 We have what appears to be a very cool shot of the apple, the 368 00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:06,080 fossil ways fighting each other. We get Stefan and Raymond. 369 00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:09,960 They are well displayed here in the book. 370 00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:12,480 They have their helmets on, but you got to see these people's 371 00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:13,720 faces. That's a standard thing for 372 00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:18,280 people to do in TV shows is to have the armor taken off their 373 00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:20,680 face, at least for part of the time, so that people can keep 374 00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:23,520 track of them. We don't need that, but regular 375 00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:26,880 audiences do, right? We we can keep track, but it's 376 00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:27,880 nice to have that. It's fine. 377 00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:30,280 I don't mind that. Maybe I'll do, but it is what it 378 00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:32,480 is. So yeah, we got Stefan on the 379 00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:35,400 right and Raymond on the left. You don't get a great shot of 380 00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:39,080 Raymond because his back is to the Fen says he's getting 381 00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:40,680 knocked through it. And you get a great look at 382 00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:43,360 Stefan. Stefan, of course, being the the 383 00:19:43,360 --> 00:19:46,640 jerky one. We have this interesting moment 384 00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:48,640 here with we can just go to this next one here. 385 00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:52,400 You know, we can talk about in the in the tent there what 386 00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:55,280 appears to be some might be a change from the books where we 387 00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:58,200 have Dunk is talking to the laughing storm here. 388 00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:01,640 And the reason I think this is different is because the voice 389 00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:05,080 over says, you know, I don't have I don't, I don't think, 390 00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:06,920 think I have a chance. And he says 0. 391 00:20:07,120 --> 00:20:09,200 You don't have a chance. And he in this moment, he really 392 00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:11,240 does look like Peter Dinklage when he's leaning forward like 393 00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:14,640 that and he's saying something very Tyrion like he's like, oh, 394 00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:17,720 you don't have a chance. So this is not something from 395 00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:20,600 the book because he doesn't have this conversation with the 396 00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:22,520 Laughing Storm. He doesn't have any conversation 397 00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:24,640 with the laughing Storm in private at all. 398 00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:27,080 So. But what he does have is a lot 399 00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:29,480 of internal monologue about not being good enough, about not 400 00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:31,640 being able to. He gets to really, he's really 401 00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:33,640 confident when he arrives, when he starts to doubt himself. 402 00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:37,520 So what I think this is is replacing some of that internal 403 00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:39,280 monologue, which you can't just what are you going to just do 404 00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:43,000 narration with conversations, organic conversations with 405 00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:45,880 important characters or characters who are relevant. 406 00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:47,240 And this is probably what one of these is. 407 00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:50,040 He's even wearing the laughing storms like little crown lit 408 00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:52,520 thing, which is I don't know what to deal with that. 409 00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:56,520 His little joking thing. He's part of his Laughing storm, 410 00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:59,240 yeah. Having a lark, yes. 411 00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:02,640 You know, making himself more amused at the situation by 412 00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:04,600 putting Dunk in his crown, right? 413 00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:07,240 Yeah, it's it's it's cool. I mean, it looks like they went 414 00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:10,120 really big with this character. And he is really big. 415 00:21:10,120 --> 00:21:12,640 When you read about him in the book, he's just constantly 416 00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:15,320 laughing during joust. He's doing that thing with the 417 00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:17,640 knocking crests off. He's absolutely the most 418 00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:22,240 colorful character outside the main protagonist and antagonist, 419 00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:23,800 right. There's there's Pretty Little 420 00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:26,840 doubt there, even if he has fewer lines than say, Raymond 421 00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:29,080 Fossaway, who I think Raymond's the one in the book who talks to 422 00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:31,520 dunk the most. I'm not sure that'll be the same 423 00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:35,480 here. There's a different there's a 424 00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:38,920 response that the laughing storm has that might come later or 425 00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:42,800 might be related to this, but I think it's well, we'll find out. 426 00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:45,120 Let's let's hear the line. It's in every man. 427 00:21:45,120 --> 00:21:50,280 There are many men, so be brave, be just be tall. 428 00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:55,600 So it it's also kind of a teary and esque thing to say, right? 429 00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:59,480 Like be who you are. You know, you're tall, be a tall 430 00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:02,040 guy and that's that's an advantage. 431 00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:03,840 You know, you can use that advantage. 432 00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:07,240 You use your tallness to intimidate and in in battle and 433 00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:08,520 all that, you know, be what you are. 434 00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:10,760 So that's pretty cool. I like that. 435 00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:13,120 This is if that's what they've done with this character, it's 436 00:22:13,120 --> 00:22:14,840 pretty exciting. Curious. 437 00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:17,480 I'm sure he's going to be big part of the the humor that we 438 00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:20,080 have already alluded to and I've seen a little bit of here. 439 00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:21,920 Here's a great shot of the shield. 440 00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:24,600 Dunk is legitimately taken aback. 441 00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:27,800 He's moved by it. He looks, he's looking at it 442 00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:29,200 that it's exactly what he wanted. 443 00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:31,360 Although even in this moment in the book, he starts to doubt 444 00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:33,960 whether he's made the right choice because he's like, oh, 445 00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:37,560 it's kind of gloomy and how can I just possibly bring me luck? 446 00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:39,520 It looks kind of like it's a falling star, right? 447 00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:42,280 Is it like that's, that's kind of a bad luck, isn't it? 448 00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:44,160 And they're like, no, it's a tree. 449 00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:46,520 It's growing, it's new. This is like he's like, they 450 00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:48,520 talk him into the goodness of it all. 451 00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:52,720 Which kind of shows you the malleability of symbolism in the 452 00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:55,680 1st place. It's really just what you choose 453 00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:59,480 to believe, and having a a good attitude about it is important, 454 00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:01,360 which is kind of what the Laughing Storm seems to have 455 00:23:01,360 --> 00:23:04,440 been saying in part with that voice over or whatever. 456 00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:08,040 We'll see that full conversation when we see it, and I'm sure 457 00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:10,720 there'll be more to it. What do we have next? 458 00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:13,600 Here we have our first appearance of Aryan. 459 00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:18,000 This is great. He is pretty much exactly what 460 00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:22,120 you want from Aryan. He is absolutely imperious and 461 00:23:22,360 --> 00:23:26,600 arrogant and insulting in the book. 462 00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:29,840 Curls of silver, gold hair framed of face, sculpted and 463 00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:33,280 imperious, highbrow and sharp cheekbones, straight nose, pale 464 00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:36,720 smooth skin without blemish. Obviously they changed the hair, 465 00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:40,520 but everything else is like 100% on right from without 466 00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:42,360 description. And I'm cool with changing the 467 00:23:42,360 --> 00:23:45,120 hair because, well, it's a Targaryen hairstyle we haven't 468 00:23:45,120 --> 00:23:46,120 seen yet. And that's fine. 469 00:23:46,120 --> 00:23:47,200 That's, that's kind of what they're doing. 470 00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:48,520 They just want to have some variety. 471 00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:53,200 He just looks like like the the recolored skin of Jace to me. 472 00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:57,880 You know, like you get like outfit too in your game and like 473 00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:01,160 here's the very the what silver hair Jace anyways. 474 00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:03,240 That's hilarious. That's short hair. 475 00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:05,960 And the way he delivers the line, not clever enough. 476 00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:09,280 It's very like Roose Bolton ish where you he's almost 477 00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:11,200 whispering. Look at that look there. 478 00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:13,720 He looks. So that is the look. 479 00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:17,680 He is so cocky, arrogant, like, oh, I don't have time for you. 480 00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:20,680 Yeah, I not clever enough. He says it so well. 481 00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:21,240 I love it. Yeah. 482 00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:23,440 This is great. We have. 483 00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:26,240 What do we have next here? Do we have another shot of Aryan 484 00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:29,160 in the in the mist here? Yeah. 485 00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:32,560 He here's while Shay is finding the picture, I will read the 486 00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:36,120 book description. Aryan bore A3 headed dragon on 487 00:24:36,120 --> 00:24:39,280 his shield, but it was rendered in colors much more vivid than 488 00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:42,200 Valar's. One head was orange, 1 yellow, 489 00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:44,840 one red. And the flames they breathed had 490 00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:48,400 the Sheen of gold leaf. His sercoat was a swirl of smoke 491 00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:50,240 and the fire and fire woven together. 492 00:24:50,360 --> 00:24:53,280 And his blackened helm was surmounted by a Crest of red 493 00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:56,160 enamel flames. The trailer doesn't really 494 00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:57,800 reveal the shield or the sercoat. 495 00:24:57,800 --> 00:24:59,120 They might have changed that sercoat. 496 00:24:59,120 --> 00:25:00,280 I'm I'm guessing there's a chance of that. 497 00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:03,200 The the shield is fairly standard for a Targaryen shield, 498 00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:06,160 and a slight change to that wouldn't be much of a big deal. 499 00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:09,520 But the helm is absolutely 100% match of the description. 500 00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:12,960 Blackened helm surmounted by a Crest of red enamel flames. 501 00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:16,000 I like it says blackened because it is not doesn't have a Sheen 502 00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:17,040 to it. There's no shine to it. 503 00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:19,360 It is it, It is like a deadness to it. 504 00:25:19,360 --> 00:25:22,400 It does not shine, which I've is very intentional and it makes it 505 00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:25,200 seem more sinister and intimidating. 506 00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:27,760 And he his armor itself is kind of like that. 507 00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:32,120 It's very, I don't know. It reminds me of something out 508 00:25:32,120 --> 00:25:36,080 of Lord of the rings, like the like something that Nazgul would 509 00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:39,120 wear very old and ancient and definitely evil. 510 00:25:39,120 --> 00:25:42,320 I think the spikes on the shoulder pads are a little 511 00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:44,240 unusual. We don't see a lot of those 512 00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:46,000 around. And of course, he's also wields 513 00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:50,360 A spiked morning star, so it kind of fits that vibe, the 514 00:25:50,360 --> 00:25:53,280 spiky stuff going on. Here's another shot while we're 515 00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:59,840 on the on this topic of armor, here's two people we're 516 00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:02,120 interested in sitting there is Valar. 517 00:26:02,120 --> 00:26:03,720 Look at that. That's Valar Targaryen. 518 00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:08,840 No chance you caught him in the trailer unless you have the eyes 519 00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:11,920 of like a Hummingbird or something because he flashed by 520 00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:14,480 in a split second. So this is what you have us for, 521 00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:17,240 zooming in to find young valor and people. 522 00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:20,080 And of course, don't forget y'all, this is the armor 523 00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:22,760 Baylor's going to wear when the trial happens. 524 00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:26,320 So this armor that Valor's wearing right here is the one 525 00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:28,080 that we'll see later has very cool look. 526 00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:29,080 You know what it looks like to me? 527 00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:32,840 It looks like it looks a lot like the armor that Gary Oldman 528 00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:37,200 wore as Dracula in the 1990s, Dracula with Winona Ryder and 529 00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:41,240 Keanu Reeves, except that armor was like red, almost like 530 00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:44,000 pinkish bit, but still have these, these, these grooves all 531 00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:45,840 throughout it. That looked really cool. 532 00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:48,240 And he was the Vlad the Dragon. So that's makes sense. 533 00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:49,880 They would have some draconic qualities to it. 534 00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:52,600 There's Harold Harding getting ready to charge. 535 00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:55,320 He's this is a one of the jousts that we're getting ready to see. 536 00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:56,080 I'm sorry. Humphrey Harding. 537 00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:56,880 Harold. Yeah, my bad. 538 00:26:57,480 --> 00:27:00,480 Humphrey Harding, we of the two, one of the two Humphreys and I 539 00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:02,720 think the other Humphrey is there in the background to the 540 00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:05,120 left there, because that's his colors, gold, black and gold. 541 00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:10,080 And also in the background you can see a stag and the Baratheon 542 00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:12,760 tent. So you can see a lot of the main 543 00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:16,440 characters that are going to be associated with Dunk are kind of 544 00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:19,360 close together, which makes sense given who they are anyway. 545 00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:22,520 And obviously this tent here and you see this dragon sticking out 546 00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:25,200 of that, It looks pretty cool. The little dragon head poking 547 00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:28,680 out and some dudes who I guess are just part of the retinue. 548 00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:30,160 One of them is kind of interesting. 549 00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:33,720 This guard on the right seems to have some sort of cane or I 550 00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:35,480 don't know what that is, a walking stick. 551 00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:39,160 An older guy, not clear what that is it. 552 00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:41,680 We don't have the Kingsguard yet, but we will see them a 553 00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:43,360 little later. They are there, but they're just 554 00:27:43,360 --> 00:27:45,840 not in the scene. So as this scene plays out, you 555 00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:48,320 can see her Humphrey start to almost called him Harold again. 556 00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:53,280 Humphrey starts to charge. And we're going to also see them 557 00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:55,840 get into look, maybe they're getting into look this 558 00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:57,840 particular joust. It's not clear. 559 00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:01,280 Certainly Humphrey stands out in this day. 560 00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:07,760 He wins 14 matches. And that is who Dunk thinks is 561 00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:10,200 like, wow, that's the guy that really deserves to be 562 00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:12,240 recognized. So that's pretty cool. 563 00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:15,760 We get a lot of just what we expect to see looking like what 564 00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:17,800 we expect it to look like. Or in the case of the Targaryen 565 00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:19,280 armor, we don't know what it's going to look like. 566 00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:21,400 We just expect it to look cool. And it does. 567 00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:24,280 So yeah, I like this shot of Duncan Egg leaning on the post, 568 00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:26,000 watching together. That's probably going to be fun, 569 00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:28,960 like having them root on or root against. 570 00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:32,360 And this is probably when we see him root against Aryan and 571 00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:35,400 little clues here and there as to what's going on. 572 00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:38,640 But we also are going to get the royal box seats. 573 00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:41,160 This is at night. We'll talk about why some of 574 00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:44,720 this is at night later. But for now, look, getting a 575 00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:46,440 zoom in. Zoom and enhance. 576 00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:47,920 Well, we can't really enhance so we can zoom. 577 00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:52,440 We have Arian again on the left. So we've seen him already. 578 00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:54,520 Nothing too special there. The next one over. 579 00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:57,280 And the thing in the front is Lord Ashford. 580 00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:00,960 Then Baylor breaks fear. That is Baylor breaks fear right 581 00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:03,120 there. Kind of hard to see, but that's 582 00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:06,080 him, you know, he doesn't have the light color Targaryen hair. 583 00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:07,360 He's already, he's graying a little bit. 584 00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:10,600 They may have aged him up slightly because Baylor is 585 00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:11,760 supposed to be more brown haired. 586 00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:13,560 This guy's a little more Gray haired, whatever. 587 00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:18,120 And then next to him is Makar. That's Makar right there. 588 00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:21,600 And Makar looks a little, I don't know what the right word 589 00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:23,160 is like. The hair is very straight. 590 00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:26,240 He's supposed to have POC scars. You can't really tell from here, 591 00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:29,040 but that might be why his face looks a little like has a little 592 00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:33,800 texture to it. Yeah, the texture made. 593 00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:37,320 Them look kind of old to me. Yeah, yeah, I think that's it. 594 00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:39,000 Just looks like weather. Yeah, you're right, pox. 595 00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:41,280 Bars the pox scars might be the accounting for that. 596 00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:44,320 Yeah, we. I got a similar view of this 597 00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:48,000 scene from the side. Nothing new from it, but the 598 00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:49,680 same characters. It kind of confirms who we're 599 00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:51,800 really looking at here. I don't know who the women 600 00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:54,800 behind are. Presumably one of them is Lady 601 00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:57,360 Ashford. That's a safe bet, but I really 602 00:29:57,360 --> 00:30:01,040 have no idea who the rest are except for it's actually I 603 00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:02,440 shouldn't say that they're I should. 604 00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:04,920 They're very likely they're his daughters, the ones who were the 605 00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:06,960 Queens of love and beauty for the tournament. 606 00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:08,680 But we don't get a great look at them. 607 00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:11,560 So we can't be sure that they're not like if they're older women, 608 00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:13,920 then they're probably not that, but they're probably his 609 00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:17,840 daughters. We have what is a awesome, 610 00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:20,000 awesome shot of the laughing storm here. 611 00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:22,440 Just whoo. That is cool, man. 612 00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:25,800 That is All in all his glory. Full antler helm. 613 00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:28,440 This is these aren't a show antlers like he's playing around 614 00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:30,960 with in his tent. These are looking like they're 615 00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:34,120 made out of steel or something 'cause they're different 616 00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:36,400 texture. They look the color of steel and 617 00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:37,920 they match this. They're the same color as the 618 00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:42,880 helm and the big prancing stag is there and the horse is 619 00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:47,640 looking huge and black. He's he's looking how you would 620 00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:49,640 think he should look there. That's that looks this good. 621 00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:52,320 He's not as tall as as the laughing storm is who's who's 622 00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:53,560 supposed to be about as tall as Dunk. 623 00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:56,760 That's a small change here, or maybe you could say a large 624 00:30:56,760 --> 00:30:57,720 change. Haha. 625 00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:01,520 A change from large to medium. Large, he's still a big guy, but 626 00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:04,720 he's not enormous. But that is standard TV. 627 00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:07,600 You can't preserve the enormous heights that we have in the 628 00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:09,280 books. That's been happening since 629 00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:13,520 season 1 of the first show. We have the awesome scene of 630 00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:16,440 them looking up from their campfire at the comet going over 631 00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:20,960 and they have their discussion about the comet is luck and 632 00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:26,480 because they don't have a pavilion and all the other Lords 633 00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:30,600 don't see this comet because they're inside a tent, so they 634 00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:34,160 get all the luck. You know what, it kind of kind 635 00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:37,120 of true. Doug does get pretty lucky in 636 00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:39,800 the end there, doesn't he? It all works out pretty good for 637 00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:42,160 him. So yeah, the comet works out the 638 00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:43,840 true. That's the lesson here, y'all. 639 00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:48,800 Comet luck is real. We've got some other shots here 640 00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:52,040 of them at at camp. There's eggs seemingly waking 641 00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:54,720 up. We've got some shots of other 642 00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:56,520 festivities. You know, people did they're 643 00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:58,400 playing with fire. You know, your mother told you 644 00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:01,680 not to do that, but they didn't do that back then. 645 00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:03,520 They they were very unsafe with fire. 646 00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:05,160 We know at the Targaryens they're. 647 00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:08,360 Yeah. So here's what it looks like the 648 00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:11,320 morning of the tournament, or rather of the trial. 649 00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:14,040 The the morning mist is a key indicator there. 650 00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:15,280 That's that's kind of a giveaway. 651 00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:19,160 And here's where we'll take a quick break with this sitting, 652 00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:22,080 imposing, standing at us. Perhaps the best shot of the 653 00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:24,520 trailer. We'll come back and identify 654 00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:28,880 each of those nights in order and fanboy and fangirl out over 655 00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:34,920 them all in just a moment. Hit points not required Do you 656 00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:37,960 like Critical Role and other TTRPG channels? 657 00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:42,800 Well, Hit points Not required is a channel dedicated to that all 658 00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:47,360 things TTRPG. They have a mixture of play 659 00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:51,360 streams, which is the main event, but they also have chat 660 00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:53,840 centered around adding more role play into your RPGs. 661 00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:58,200 In other words, conversations how TOS to make your 662 00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:02,040 role-playing sessions better, to make them more authentic, to 663 00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:04,200 make them, you know, putting a little effort ahead of time to 664 00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:07,800 make the game itself better. And these are really valuable 665 00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:12,040 things to include in your sessions because, well, it'll 666 00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:15,200 really pay off in the long term. They have charity streams as 667 00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:18,960 well every Monday at 9:00 Eastern, and they're starting 668 00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:22,400 Part 1 of what's called the Lingering Mysterious Tee Time of 669 00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:25,040 Immortality. And I said that louder because 670 00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:27,320 it's in all caps. It's important that you know 671 00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:30,400 it's in all caps because it's emphatically the Lingering 672 00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:32,600 Mysterious Tee Time of Immortality. 673 00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:37,040 And that's this coming Monday. I guess that would be the 20th. 674 00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:39,240 So a lot of you will be hearing this after it's already come 675 00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:41,800 out, so check it out. They most recently supported 676 00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:44,200 Point of Pride and the Atlanta Mission. 677 00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:48,680 You can also find them at twitch.tv/hit Points not 678 00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:54,040 Required or the replays at YouTube slash hit points not 679 00:33:54,040 --> 00:34:00,280 Required If you are thinking about re listening to the Hedge 680 00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:03,600 night or purchasing a copy if you gave your copy away. 681 00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:05,320 I know that happens a lot in this community. 682 00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:08,320 People lend their book to somebody and they don't get it 683 00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:11,960 back because they loved it so much. 684 00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:15,679 I mean, go figure, right?

I use Audible quite a bit. 689 00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:33,520 I listened to A Crossroads of Ravens, the new Witcher novel 690 00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:37,159 that takes place right after Garrell quote UN quote graduates 691 00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:40,440 from Caremorin. It was just published recently 692 00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:43,560 and it was written in in Polish about eight or nine months ago. 693 00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:46,360 Same reader, Peter Kenney, really enjoyed it. 694 00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:48,600 I've already listened to it twice, Had a lot of time driving 695 00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:50,800 to New York so that was fun to listen to. 696 00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:52,880 Definitely check that out if you're a fan of the Witcher. 697 00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:55,920 If not, get the Hedge Night on audio. 698 00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:57,680 You can. It's fun to read, but listening 699 00:34:57,680 --> 00:35:00,200 to it is a different experience. You pick up different things and 700 00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:07,000 it's time to get in that mode. Y'all, an article slash 701 00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:10,080 interview on the Mary Sue was pretty informative, I thought, 702 00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:13,920 because it succinctly described something I was talking about 703 00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:18,240 earlier in this review we have here, which is that Peter 704 00:35:18,240 --> 00:35:20,640 Claffey called it comedy from terrible situations. 705 00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:24,080 That is the essence of humor in Westeros. 706 00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:29,520 E content because you're never that far removed from a terrible 707 00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:31,600 situation. You might be having a nice 708 00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:35,600 moment, but it's punctuating awful things or serious things. 709 00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:37,040 Not necessarily awful, but serious. 710 00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:39,920 Definitely not light hearted. You rarely have light hearted 711 00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:43,160 followed by more light hearted. There's no time for that. 712 00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:44,880 Things get serious again too quickly. 713 00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:48,880 So the the jokes are quick. They're one liners, they're 714 00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:52,600 sarcastic, they may be gallows humor and and that makes them 715 00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:54,160 authentic because that's realistic. 716 00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:59,560 People do make jokes to lighten the tension, to make an awful 717 00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:02,640 situation feel less bad or just so you know, like I said, to 718 00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:04,680 lighten the mood. That is a normal thing to do. 719 00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:06,920 So I really like, I really enjoy that. 720 00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:10,320 It's so check out the Mary Sue interview with Peter Claffey, A 721 00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:12,600 Night of Seven Kingdoms NYC interview. 722 00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:16,240 That interview was interesting to me because it mentioned that 723 00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:20,560 we only see scenes from Dunks POV, which I thought was pretty 724 00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:23,360 extreme. A little bit like they said, it 725 00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:25,200 was a little bit more extreme than I thought it was going to 726 00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:27,000 be. Yeah, it's something we talked 727 00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:29,320 about before that we weren't sure if they do that. 728 00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:32,360 And we definitely theorized that they would do things like maybe 729 00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:37,000 go as far as show a minute at King's Landing just to show 730 00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:39,240 introduce a couple characters that they want to have for next 731 00:36:39,240 --> 00:36:41,240 season or to show Blood Raven for fun. 732 00:36:41,240 --> 00:36:43,720 But no, but no, we're not getting that. 733 00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:46,560 We're not getting that at all. We will get some brief 734 00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:48,760 flashbacks, apparently. You know, he's going to have 735 00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:51,600 some some thinking back to Arlen and maybe some other things. 736 00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:54,800 But that's it, and that's the closest thing we get to 737 00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:56,440 something that isn't happening right in front of him. 738 00:36:56,920 --> 00:36:59,440 So it's either his memory or he what he's seeing. 739 00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:01,720 If he's not in the scene, we don't see it. 740 00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:05,720 So that's pretty cool, actually. It's surprising, like a Shaya 741 00:37:05,720 --> 00:37:06,880 said. But that's not a bad thing. 742 00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:10,560 In fact, it's a good thing because it does mean it's really 743 00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:13,320 sticking to the tone of the book, right? 744 00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:16,000 That's the novellas entirely from Dunk's point of view also. 745 00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:17,760 So they're trying to preserve that. 746 00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:20,440 All right, let's talk about who these seven are. 747 00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:23,200 We've got a lot of shots actually from the trial. 748 00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:26,080 They're blurry as heck. This one's not so blurry. 749 00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:28,240 It's misty, but it's not so blurry. 750 00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:29,840 So we've got more scenes besides this one. 751 00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:32,960 But this one is really the the crown jewel, I think, of the 752 00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:37,320 trailer, because this is like profile picture material, like 753 00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:42,000 background wallpaper material. I think on the far left we have 754 00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:44,160 our new Fossaway, the green apple. 755 00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:46,800 There's a little bit of green there on the shield, I think, 756 00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:51,920 and his helm looks the cheapest, which makes sense because he's 757 00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:55,360 newly knighted. That would make this next one, I 758 00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:58,440 think, Robin Risling, who is the eldest one there. 759 00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:02,680 He's notable during the joust, and he joins up because he 760 00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:04,800 doesn't like airing and he sees what he does and he's like, 761 00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:06,520 yeah, I'm going to stand with the people who are standing 762 00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:10,320 against that jerk. Obviously the Laughing Storm is 763 00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:12,320 the guy with antlers. That's the the most 764 00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:15,120 straightforward one of all here in the middle. 765 00:38:15,120 --> 00:38:17,840 If you're not looking closely, you might miss it, but this is a 766 00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:20,320 night in all black. That's Baylor wearing Valor's 767 00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:22,120 armor that we saw in that earlier shot. 768 00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:24,840 The detail is very obscured because of the mist, but that is 769 00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:29,720 absolutely Baylor dead center. So Baylor dead center with the 770 00:38:29,720 --> 00:38:32,960 laughing storm on our left, his right and dunk is right there 771 00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:35,000 next. And he's easy to spot as well, 772 00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:38,280 partly because of his size, partly because of the lack of 773 00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:40,520 heraldry, but also because of that helmet we pointed out 774 00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:43,040 earlier is very distinct. It's it's actually ironically 775 00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:44,600 the shiniest of them of the helmets. 776 00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:49,280 Next over we have Harold Harding, Humphrey Harding, 777 00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:55,120 Harold Humphrey Harding. He's he's Triple H sitting right 778 00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:56,760 there. You can't really tell if his leg 779 00:38:56,760 --> 00:38:58,360 is broken or not. I want you wonder if they're 780 00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:00,120 going to still do it, do it that way. 781 00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:01,440 Probably. I would guess they will. 782 00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:04,440 And that makes this last one Beesbury, which is a lot more 783 00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:07,400 clear once he charges, because you can see, oh, no, I have it 784 00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:09,480 backwards there. That's it's it's Beesbury. 785 00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:11,440 And then Harding, I think, or maybe wrong, I don't know. 786 00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:15,480 Either way, you can see the the the checkered is the checkers 787 00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:17,600 are Harding and the black and yellow is Beesbury. 788 00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:19,400 Yeah, it looks like a checker there, isn't it? 789 00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:25,760 Anyway, so we see the next shot where they dunk is looking on, 790 00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:27,440 and we have Arian lowering his helmet again. 791 00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:30,120 Here's the laughing storm track. Great shot of a laughing storm. 792 00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:35,120 This would be the morning of the trial, most likely. 793 00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:37,120 And notice he's got earrings. How about that? 794 00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:38,760 Or an earring? Yeah. 795 00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:40,760 I'm guessing one pierced ear, but I don't know. 796 00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:45,000 So that's interesting because I don't think we've seen, and 797 00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:47,480 here's an opportunity for y'all to correct this because this is 798 00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:50,200 something we're not exactly going to be on top of. 799 00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:54,000 Who else has who who? Which men have earrings in the 800 00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:55,640 show? In the books There's a few, 801 00:39:55,840 --> 00:39:57,720 although the only one I can think of is Ramsay. 802 00:39:58,120 --> 00:40:00,120 And I think. Besides, I'm talking about 803 00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:01,840 Westeros only. In Essos, there's plenty. 804 00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:04,640 I think in Game of Thrones and House the Dragon none of the men 805 00:40:04,640 --> 00:40:07,520 had earrings and I think this is the first one, but I'd love to 806 00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:09,160 be corrected if y'all think of 1. 807 00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:11,600 Yeah. So, yeah, definitely let us 808 00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:12,560 know. We couldn't think of one. 809 00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:15,280 We absolutely cannot think of one other than, you know, plenty 810 00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:18,920 of women and people in Essos. What do we have next? 811 00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:24,080 Here we have the nice horn blowing, which presumably is 812 00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:26,240 given the mist. This is probably the horn blow 813 00:40:26,240 --> 00:40:29,720 to start the trial of seven, although it could be to start 814 00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:32,120 the day's jousting on the first day. 815 00:40:32,440 --> 00:40:37,120 That's also possible. Now we have this is a shot of 816 00:40:37,120 --> 00:40:41,880 the charge of Aryan 7. You got a Kingsguard on the 817 00:40:41,880 --> 00:40:48,080 right, and what would be Aryan and Makar, most likely, or 818 00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:50,040 perhaps Deron. So we don't know which 819 00:40:50,040 --> 00:40:53,520 Kingsguard that is, but it's clearly a Kingsguard. 820 00:40:54,680 --> 00:40:56,840 I hear this next shot. This one connects to the one we 821 00:40:56,840 --> 00:41:01,080 saw earlier with Harold Harding. Harold. 822 00:41:01,080 --> 00:41:02,520 No, it's Harold, not Humphrey. I'm. 823 00:41:02,520 --> 00:41:03,120 I'm. He's Harold. 824 00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:05,160 From now I have renamed him. Yeah. 825 00:41:05,160 --> 00:41:09,640 Humphrey Harding and his death and his diamonds, his checkers 826 00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:12,560 beating what is probably a night of house peak. 827 00:41:12,920 --> 00:41:15,400 Now, what's interesting about this is a night of House Peak. 828 00:41:15,720 --> 00:41:18,280 There is no night of House Peak mentioned in the hedge night. 829 00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:23,040 They need to make up opponents for Humphrey because he beat 14 830 00:41:23,040 --> 00:41:24,960 people. Not all of them were named. 831 00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:27,480 Hardly any of them were named. In fact, I think only like one 832 00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:30,800 or two were named. So this is an opportunity maybe 833 00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:34,760 to introduce Lord Gorman Peak a little early just to name drop 834 00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:37,200 him for when he appears in the mystery night, which is only 835 00:41:37,200 --> 00:41:39,680 three years later. So that's you're not doing 836 00:41:39,680 --> 00:41:42,040 anything funky with the timeline by including him here. 837 00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:45,320 Now, up in the viewing stands, we can see what's most likely 838 00:41:45,320 --> 00:41:47,600 what we talked about earlier. Lord Ashford. 839 00:41:48,040 --> 00:41:51,640 And to the left, probably his wife, maybe his daughter. 840 00:41:51,640 --> 00:41:52,720 It's hard to tell. Yeah. 841 00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:54,560 It looks younger, so probably a daughter. 842 00:41:54,840 --> 00:41:57,560 And then this gentleman to the right is probably a maester. 843 00:41:58,320 --> 00:41:59,160 Oh, where's that? Baylor. 844 00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:01,440 Oh, very. Yeah, you're right. 845 00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:04,000 That's Baylor. He looked like Maester Rooms for 846 00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:05,000 a second. That's just the blur. 847 00:42:05,080 --> 00:42:06,320 Yeah, that's Baylor again. That's. 848 00:42:06,320 --> 00:42:08,400 So funny because when I saw Makar was like is that a 849 00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:09,920 maester? And like, no, that's Makar. 850 00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:12,360 Yeah, you thought Makar. You thought Makar was a maester, 851 00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:13,680 and I thought Baylor was a maester. 852 00:42:13,680 --> 00:42:14,880 Because they're holding their hands. 853 00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:16,400 Like, yeah, they're very call form. 854 00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:19,800 They're very unadorned here. Yeah, that is how Baylor 855 00:42:19,800 --> 00:42:21,160 described, though he is unadorned. 856 00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:27,240 OK, so this is an amazing shot. This is a black knight Spearing 857 00:42:27,240 --> 00:42:29,480 another black horsed black knight. 858 00:42:29,760 --> 00:42:33,200 And from process of elimination, well, there's only one black 859 00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:35,440 knight on Dunk's side. So this has to be Baylor. 860 00:42:35,880 --> 00:42:39,960 And this a horsed knight who is the Kingsguard on his side. 861 00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:42,040 That's how we know he's not done Dunk's side either. 862 00:42:42,280 --> 00:42:44,920 Has to be Makar, unless it's Deron. 863 00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:47,360 But it's very unlikely to be Deron because Deron, you know, 864 00:42:47,360 --> 00:42:50,040 collapses after the first charge and lays there and sensate. 865 00:42:50,200 --> 00:42:56,080 This fellow is looks like he's ready to fight and Darren 866 00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:58,160 probably isn't in the middle. Here's a follow up shot where he 867 00:42:58,160 --> 00:43:01,720 is getting taken out of the saddle, which sets up Baylor 868 00:43:01,720 --> 00:43:04,280 fighting Makar, which we know how that goes. 869 00:43:04,920 --> 00:43:07,400 Now. You can see his weapon flying on 870 00:43:07,400 --> 00:43:09,000 the loose there. It looks like it's a morning 871 00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:12,120 star, which at first might make you think it's Aryan, but that 872 00:43:12,120 --> 00:43:14,640 is definitely not Aryan. We saw Aryan's armor earlier. 873 00:43:14,640 --> 00:43:16,800 There's no Crest of flames there. 874 00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:20,280 And of course Aryan doesn't get knocked off his horse. 875 00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:23,200 Aryan knocks Dunk off his horse and then dismounts. 876 00:43:23,320 --> 00:43:25,960 So that is another clue that this isn't what that this is 877 00:43:25,960 --> 00:43:28,440 Makar. So that's pretty cool. 878 00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:31,800 Here we have Egg running with Dunk's sword interspersed with 879 00:43:31,800 --> 00:43:34,360 these scenes from the trailer. Here's what I expect we'll get 880 00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:39,080 several really fun scenes of which is a visor's slash, helm's 881 00:43:39,080 --> 00:43:41,320 eye view. Something that personally I 882 00:43:41,320 --> 00:43:45,320 first saw in the show Nightfall, which showed those Crusader 883 00:43:45,320 --> 00:43:46,360 Knights. They actually had some scenes 884 00:43:46,360 --> 00:43:49,400 where you you had like a GoPro view of seeing inside the 885 00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:51,000 Knight's helm. It's a pretty cool thing to do 886 00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:52,560 and it looks like that's what we're going to get with Dunk. 887 00:43:52,720 --> 00:43:55,920 In fact, this makes it very clear what's what we're going to 888 00:43:56,080 --> 00:43:57,520 get. And wow, what a shot here, 889 00:43:58,480 --> 00:44:01,320 Aryan, Clearly Aryan this time with the Crest of Flames. 890 00:44:01,320 --> 00:44:06,240 And that is a swinging ball that is about to pop our man right in 891 00:44:06,240 --> 00:44:10,280 the head. Here is a very hard scene to 892 00:44:10,400 --> 00:44:15,400 unpack but if you look closely dunks leg and his side you can 893 00:44:15,400 --> 00:44:19,960 see the blood and that must mean he's been lanced because that's 894 00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:22,160 what happens. And he then pulls the Lance head 895 00:44:22,160 --> 00:44:26,360 out and the blood gushes and then he gets smacked again and 896 00:44:26,360 --> 00:44:28,680 he falls down. And this appears to be him 897 00:44:28,680 --> 00:44:30,480 falling down face first into the mud. 898 00:44:30,880 --> 00:44:33,880 It looks like it has the dirt going into his helm, which is 899 00:44:33,880 --> 00:44:35,880 such a cool shot to me. See here you can see it getting 900 00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:37,880 pushed into his helm. Yeah. 901 00:44:38,520 --> 00:44:40,720 That's amazing. Yeah, just the just the how 902 00:44:40,720 --> 00:44:42,920 disorienting that would be and how like helpless you would feel 903 00:44:42,920 --> 00:44:45,320 like wow, I can't see and it. Doesn't don't have his dream 904 00:44:45,320 --> 00:44:48,840 about being buried. He does eventually have that 905 00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:49,600 dream. It just makes. 906 00:44:49,600 --> 00:44:51,960 Me think of like he felt buried here, you know? 907 00:44:51,960 --> 00:44:54,920 Yeah, this was kind of similar. You're right under the dirt, 908 00:44:54,920 --> 00:44:57,160 except it's it's muddier, but still, that's dirt. 909 00:44:57,640 --> 00:45:03,040 Here's a a quote that we pulled because I wanted to set up what 910 00:45:03,040 --> 00:45:06,560 Makar might look like in the armor here. 911 00:45:07,200 --> 00:45:09,640 It was their father who made the most fearsome appearance. 912 00:45:09,840 --> 00:45:13,360 However, black curved dragon teeth ran across his shoulders, 913 00:45:13,360 --> 00:45:15,680 along the Crest of his helm and down his back. 914 00:45:15,800 --> 00:45:18,240 And the huge spiked Mace strapped to his saddle was as 915 00:45:18,240 --> 00:45:21,120 deadly looking a weapon as any dunk had ever seen. 916 00:45:21,600 --> 00:45:24,400 So this is I I pulled a few of these quotes from the hedge net 917 00:45:24,400 --> 00:45:26,240 because I just wanted to remind you all of the vivid 918 00:45:26,240 --> 00:45:28,880 descriptions that we get for some of the characters in their 919 00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:30,280 armor. Some of them we don't we 920 00:45:30,280 --> 00:45:33,040 actually don't get a vivid description of valor slash 921 00:45:33,040 --> 00:45:35,120 Baylor's armor. So that's they were left to 922 00:45:35,120 --> 00:45:37,840 their own devices here. This shot that she had up with 923 00:45:37,840 --> 00:45:42,000 with Dunk pulling his sword out. This comes if it's following the 924 00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:46,120 book, which we expect it to comes right after he pulls the 925 00:45:46,120 --> 00:45:50,600 Lance head out of his side and Thunder is able to get back to 926 00:45:50,600 --> 00:45:54,280 his feet despite the mud. And he's just like, where am I? 927 00:45:54,640 --> 00:45:56,760 He pulls his sword and that's when he gets whacked in the head 928 00:45:56,760 --> 00:45:58,600 with the Mace. So he doesn't actually get to do 929 00:45:58,600 --> 00:46:00,200 anything with his sword, as you recall. 930 00:46:01,560 --> 00:46:02,840 Here's another shot of the charge. 931 00:46:02,880 --> 00:46:05,920 You get a better look at Baylor wearing his son's armor. 932 00:46:05,920 --> 00:46:08,680 You get the cool shield, a better shot of Dunk, much more 933 00:46:08,680 --> 00:46:11,800 clarity there. And a really cool shot of 934 00:46:12,440 --> 00:46:16,160 Humphrey. Look at the red on his face 935 00:46:16,160 --> 00:46:18,200 plate there. It's added red painted on his 936 00:46:18,200 --> 00:46:20,360 helmet. That is a really cool detail. 937 00:46:20,360 --> 00:46:23,120 Extra red splotch on there makes him look more fearsome. 938 00:46:23,240 --> 00:46:27,320 And he is fearsome. What else do we have? 939 00:46:27,680 --> 00:46:33,360 Here's the quote that comes up as he's drawing his sword. 940 00:46:33,440 --> 00:46:36,000 I like this quote in particular, so I wanted to read it to you 941 00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:38,040 all. Now The world swam, and he 942 00:46:38,040 --> 00:46:41,000 almost fell dimly through the pain, he could hear voices 943 00:46:41,000 --> 00:46:43,720 calling his name. His beautiful shield was useless 944 00:46:43,720 --> 00:46:46,080 now. He tossed it aside, Elm tree 945 00:46:46,080 --> 00:46:49,120 shooting Star broken Lance and all, and drew his sword. 946 00:46:49,520 --> 00:46:51,760 But he heard so much, he did not think he could swing it. 947 00:46:52,560 --> 00:46:54,840 I love that. So that we see that pretty well 948 00:46:54,840 --> 00:46:57,440 there, I think a minute ago. Now, here's a shot from behind 949 00:46:57,440 --> 00:47:00,280 of the charge. And if you may notice the detail 950 00:47:00,280 --> 00:47:05,160 here, Dunk falls behind. That is exactly from the book 951 00:47:05,160 --> 00:47:07,320 because Dunk freezes up when it starts. 952 00:47:07,320 --> 00:47:10,040 He doesn't know what to do. And then his horse remembers. 953 00:47:10,040 --> 00:47:12,320 He's like, Thunder saved him. Thunder remembers what to do. 954 00:47:12,320 --> 00:47:14,400 And you can see Aryan right there. 955 00:47:14,720 --> 00:47:18,280 He's right getting ready to clock him because of course 956 00:47:18,280 --> 00:47:21,080 Arian is aligned against a dunk, you would think, and it appears 957 00:47:21,080 --> 00:47:22,000 to be that it appears to be true. 958 00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:24,400 You can see the Laughing Storm aligned against one of the 959 00:47:24,400 --> 00:47:29,400 Kingsguard over there, which is what he wanted, which would put 960 00:47:29,600 --> 00:47:32,520 Baylor maybe against one of the other Kingsguard. 961 00:47:32,520 --> 00:47:35,960 I'm not sure It's like, or maybe against against Makar is what we 962 00:47:35,960 --> 00:47:38,040 thought we saw. Of course we saw that shot was 963 00:47:38,040 --> 00:47:40,120 after Baylor was already on horse, so that may come a little 964 00:47:40,120 --> 00:47:42,200 later. Glad the show is happening. 965 00:47:42,200 --> 00:47:43,680 January 18th. That's exciting. 966 00:47:43,680 --> 00:47:48,040 We guessed the 25th, so we were happy to be wrong by a week in 967 00:47:48,040 --> 00:47:52,680 the sooner direction. Another great joke here. 968 00:47:52,680 --> 00:47:54,880 They're careful to show us a lot of jokes. 969 00:47:55,480 --> 00:47:58,680 I could be quite happy in a place like this. 970 00:47:58,880 --> 00:48:01,480 You are in a place like this. Love that. 971 00:48:01,720 --> 00:48:04,520 That's good stuff. All right, what are did we miss 972 00:48:04,520 --> 00:48:09,200 any shots here or are we up to our characters we didn't see? 973 00:48:09,280 --> 00:48:10,560 I think we might have gotten it all. 974 00:48:11,680 --> 00:48:13,880 So there's a lot of characters that we didn't see. 975 00:48:13,880 --> 00:48:15,680 Of course, you're not going to see every character in the 976 00:48:16,240 --> 00:48:19,160 trailer, but we do see a higher percentage of the characters 977 00:48:19,160 --> 00:48:21,880 because there's a smaller percentage, small total of 978 00:48:21,880 --> 00:48:24,160 characters in this in this trailer and this show in 979 00:48:24,160 --> 00:48:26,840 general, of course. But just as a reminder, some of 980 00:48:26,840 --> 00:48:31,840 the characters that we will see probably are Manfred Dondarian, 981 00:48:32,080 --> 00:48:35,000 Leo Longthorne, Deron the Drunken. 982 00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:37,560 Of course we'll see him. We probably didn't see him in 983 00:48:37,560 --> 00:48:39,400 the trailer, but we definitely will see him. 984 00:48:39,640 --> 00:48:41,760 The brute of Bracken, that's Otho Bracken. 985 00:48:42,360 --> 00:48:45,520 Abelar Hightower, probably Lord Damon Lannister. 986 00:48:45,520 --> 00:48:47,840 That's the Gray Lion. Sir Tybalt Lannister. 987 00:48:47,840 --> 00:48:49,960 Unknown relation to Damon, maybe his son. 988 00:48:50,400 --> 00:48:52,640 Now Lord Tully, don't know his first name, but he's there. 989 00:48:53,440 --> 00:48:55,880 Sir Andrew and Sir Robert Ashford. 990 00:48:55,880 --> 00:48:59,160 Those are the sons of Lord Ashford and they do pretty well. 991 00:48:59,160 --> 00:49:02,400 They don't do amazingly, but it's said that they didn't shame 992 00:49:02,400 --> 00:49:05,800 themselves and and fared well against some of the strongest 993 00:49:05,800 --> 00:49:09,920 Knights, Sir Pierce Karen, Sir Joseph Mallester, Sergey Wen 994 00:49:09,920 --> 00:49:15,000 Swan and Sir John Penrose. Now we might have seen all the 995 00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:16,400 Kingsguard, whatever, there's three of them. 996 00:49:16,440 --> 00:49:17,880 That's hard to tell from those scenes. 997 00:49:17,880 --> 00:49:20,200 They they don't look distinct from each other, especially with 998 00:49:20,200 --> 00:49:24,000 the mist and the distance there no sign of anyone unexpected 999 00:49:24,000 --> 00:49:27,400 like a blood Raven or like a Shierra or something like that. 1000 00:49:27,680 --> 00:49:30,960 We don't expect that, but it's possible and it would be cool if 1001 00:49:30,960 --> 00:49:33,640 we did get it, but you really definitely don't expect to see 1002 00:49:33,640 --> 00:49:36,520 it in a trailer to be a bit of a downer a lot quite a few of 1003 00:49:36,520 --> 00:49:38,960 those characters I just named are going to die between season 1004 00:49:38,960 --> 00:49:42,280 1 and season 2 off page slash off screen because of the great 1005 00:49:42,280 --> 00:49:48,280 spring sickness. All right, so let's talk about 1006 00:49:48,280 --> 00:49:50,080 what we learned at New York Comic Con. 1007 00:49:50,080 --> 00:49:52,200 There's not a ton, but it's pretty cool and it's worth 1008 00:49:52,200 --> 00:49:54,240 hearing and we've got some great pictures too. 1009 00:49:54,240 --> 00:49:56,720 This was this was really fun. George was in great spirits. 1010 00:49:56,720 --> 00:50:01,360 He by all reports, and our reports come from a a great 1011 00:50:01,360 --> 00:50:04,920 source as as pristine as possible that he absolutely 1012 00:50:04,920 --> 00:50:07,360 loves all six episodes. He's very, very happy with it, 1013 00:50:07,840 --> 00:50:11,600 and that's a great sign. From left to right, that's Ira 1014 00:50:11,600 --> 00:50:13,680 on the left, the showrunner. And then of course, you go 1015 00:50:13,680 --> 00:50:16,040 Duncan, Egg and George. So really, I probably didn't 1016 00:50:16,040 --> 00:50:19,360 need to point those out. George is also really excited 1017 00:50:19,360 --> 00:50:21,720 about the set too. That's that's going to be fun 1018 00:50:21,720 --> 00:50:24,440 almost no matter what. Say that's still in Belfast as 1019 00:50:24,440 --> 00:50:25,840 we understand. And it should be there 1020 00:50:25,920 --> 00:50:29,320 potentially for viewing. Not entirely clear on that, but 1021 00:50:29,320 --> 00:50:33,360 I would expect they'd want to allow tourism and all that. 1022 00:50:33,920 --> 00:50:35,560 So that was cool. This panel, look at that. 1023 00:50:35,560 --> 00:50:37,880 Ashaya got a question answer there. 1024 00:50:37,880 --> 00:50:41,960 She sent it in ahead of time and it was posted and the question 1025 00:50:41,960 --> 00:50:43,920 was what was the most fun part of filming? 1026 00:50:43,920 --> 00:50:46,840 And you, Shay, what did he say? It was so funny. 1027 00:50:46,960 --> 00:50:50,840 He talked about the the tug of war scene that they and they 1028 00:50:50,840 --> 00:50:54,080 filmed and how fun that was for him to film. 1029 00:50:54,400 --> 00:51:00,800 And then I can say that we did see some some photos later and 1030 00:51:00,800 --> 00:51:04,240 we saw a shot of of Egg doing the tug of war scene. 1031 00:51:04,240 --> 00:51:06,440 It looked real cute. It looks really cute. 1032 00:51:06,600 --> 00:51:09,640 So yeah, that's what he talked about and what we will see 1033 00:51:09,640 --> 00:51:12,800 shortly. So the let's see. 1034 00:51:14,360 --> 00:51:16,720 Yeah, we're moving on to the next one. 1035 00:51:16,720 --> 00:51:17,720 Cool. Yeah. 1036 00:51:17,720 --> 00:51:19,840 So we have the in between, you know, we did a lot of con 1037 00:51:19,840 --> 00:51:22,760 things. There was mostly stuff that we 1038 00:51:23,320 --> 00:51:25,440 that isn't terribly relevant to A Song of Ice and Fire, but we 1039 00:51:25,440 --> 00:51:27,840 saw some cool costumes, like for example, this one on screen. 1040 00:51:27,840 --> 00:51:29,720 This is a really, really good Damon. 1041 00:51:29,920 --> 00:51:33,000 I love that armor. Here's just an idea of what how 1042 00:51:33,000 --> 00:51:34,840 big Comic Con is. Look at the size of that. 1043 00:51:34,840 --> 00:51:38,160 Look at the size of that thing. Here we are getting our freshly 1044 00:51:38,160 --> 00:51:40,880 getting our badges. We're in line there and here's a 1045 00:51:40,880 --> 00:51:45,400 big line to get in the trailer panel that we'd got a nice up 1046 00:51:45,400 --> 00:51:48,600 front spot up front ish because we are, we got some press passes 1047 00:51:48,880 --> 00:51:50,880 and here we are again. We got some cool posters. 1048 00:51:50,880 --> 00:51:53,760 We got one of these posters for ourselves, so we get a nice 1049 00:51:53,760 --> 00:51:56,120 souvenir from that. We got some cool people walking 1050 00:51:56,120 --> 00:51:58,840 around in their cosplays with their inflatable Dragons. 1051 00:51:59,120 --> 00:52:01,800 People definitely were feeling the mood. 1052 00:52:01,800 --> 00:52:05,160 The the vibe in that room was very, very positive. 1053 00:52:05,320 --> 00:52:06,920 Lot of happiness, a lot of excitement. 1054 00:52:07,240 --> 00:52:08,840 George's excitement was infectious. 1055 00:52:08,840 --> 00:52:12,800 The Dexter and Peters as well. IRA's a little more laid back. 1056 00:52:12,800 --> 00:52:15,080 That's just his thing. But he clearly is happy with 1057 00:52:15,080 --> 00:52:16,560 what So what he's what he's put together. 1058 00:52:16,960 --> 00:52:19,040 So these other cosplays on screen here, we got a great 1059 00:52:19,040 --> 00:52:23,440 young Rainiera. We saw another Damon there and 1060 00:52:23,840 --> 00:52:26,560 definitely some solid representation amongst the 1061 00:52:26,920 --> 00:52:29,040 cosplayers there. Shea Soto another. 1062 00:52:29,040 --> 00:52:32,040 This is the line we had for the Saturday panel. 1063 00:52:32,280 --> 00:52:34,440 There's, you can see me with the golden pants there. 1064 00:52:34,440 --> 00:52:37,400 That's me standing there. I was just talking to Quinn, the 1065 00:52:37,400 --> 00:52:39,880 GM, who you might be able to see in the background there. 1066 00:52:40,200 --> 00:52:40,880 Oh, yeah. There he is. 1067 00:52:40,880 --> 00:52:42,160 Now you can see the top of his head. 1068 00:52:43,960 --> 00:52:46,280 And that was right before we went inside. 1069 00:52:46,280 --> 00:52:49,160 We got pulled out of line by George's assistant and stuck 1070 00:52:49,160 --> 00:52:51,880 right in the front row. That was very cool moment for 1071 00:52:51,880 --> 00:52:53,120 us. We're sitting right next to 1072 00:52:53,120 --> 00:52:55,680 George's family. We got some more Rainier, 1073 00:52:55,680 --> 00:52:57,880 another Rainier and Allison. Very cool. 1074 00:52:58,440 --> 00:53:00,480 Yeah, Good representation for cosplay there. 1075 00:53:00,480 --> 00:53:03,320 I mean, there's a lot of cosplay at New York Comic Con and it's 1076 00:53:03,320 --> 00:53:04,880 every fandom basically represented. 1077 00:53:04,880 --> 00:53:08,520 So you don't expect to see an overwhelming amount of anyone 1078 00:53:08,520 --> 00:53:11,040 fandom. So it was good to see a a solid 1079 00:53:11,040 --> 00:53:14,360 amount of costumes from Westeros. 1080 00:53:14,800 --> 00:53:17,120 I thought it was funny. You could see my little redhead 1081 00:53:17,120 --> 00:53:18,880 on the screen during the George pantom. 1082 00:53:19,360 --> 00:53:21,560 Yeah, it's. Really bright red in the corner 1083 00:53:21,560 --> 00:53:22,920 there. Y'all see that little or splat 1084 00:53:22,920 --> 00:53:29,200 orange that is a Shay's hair? So yeah, George was an even 1085 00:53:29,200 --> 00:53:31,360 better Spirits probably for this panel. 1086 00:53:31,360 --> 00:53:34,720 He was telling stories. Obviously having his family in 1087 00:53:34,720 --> 00:53:36,280 the front row probably helped a bit. 1088 00:53:36,280 --> 00:53:40,400 They're from New Jersey nearby, so that was an easy just hop, 1089 00:53:40,400 --> 00:53:44,280 skip and a jump for them. I assume he told his Steve Ditko 1090 00:53:44,280 --> 00:53:46,440 story. Actually he might have told that 1091 00:53:46,440 --> 00:53:48,040 at the other panel. Either way, he told a Steve 1092 00:53:48,040 --> 00:53:50,680 Ditko story, which was the first Comic Con. 1093 00:53:50,840 --> 00:53:54,000 Famous comic artist Steve Ditko showed up to the very first No 1094 00:53:54,000 --> 00:53:57,840 Yacht Comic Con and then never went to any con ever again in 1095 00:53:57,840 --> 00:54:01,400 any city. So I guess he wasn't super into 1096 00:54:01,440 --> 00:54:03,960 it, but George certainly was. George kept going to cons and 1097 00:54:03,960 --> 00:54:08,080 many, many more cons. And yeah, so this was obviously 1098 00:54:08,080 --> 00:54:11,000 more straightforward George interview because it was just 1099 00:54:11,000 --> 00:54:15,360 George and one moderator rather than a moderator and four 1100 00:54:15,360 --> 00:54:17,360 people. Moderator Joe Hill and the 1101 00:54:17,360 --> 00:54:20,320 moderator for the Nut of Seven Kingdoms panel was Brandon 1102 00:54:20,320 --> 00:54:21,720 Davis. Oh yeah, we forgot to shout out 1103 00:54:21,720 --> 00:54:23,280 Brandon Davis. Yeah, he did a good job too. 1104 00:54:23,280 --> 00:54:25,080 And they both did a very good job. 1105 00:54:25,320 --> 00:54:26,480 No awkward. Question. 1106 00:54:26,480 --> 00:54:29,520 We had a Lannister, A Westerling, A Westerman. 1107 00:54:29,520 --> 00:54:32,920 Bastard, I mean. That's right, they got a Western 1108 00:54:32,920 --> 00:54:34,360 bastard to interview George. That's right. 1109 00:54:34,360 --> 00:54:36,760 Perfect. Right on, right. 1110 00:54:36,760 --> 00:54:40,400 Dead center target there. So yeah, there's another Allison 1111 00:54:40,400 --> 00:54:42,480 on page. Here's a Daenerys. 1112 00:54:42,720 --> 00:54:47,200 This was Toodaloo cosplay, Yeah, who organized a little Game of 1113 00:54:47,200 --> 00:54:50,520 Thrones House of the Dragon meet last minute? 1114 00:54:50,800 --> 00:54:52,800 Shout out to her did a good job doing that. 1115 00:54:52,800 --> 00:54:56,200 We appreciate the community building there a good Jon Snow 1116 00:54:56,200 --> 00:54:59,480 here represent another Daenerys from what's season Daenerys Is 1117 00:54:59,480 --> 00:55:02,720 that season 2 Daenerys? There's so many Daenerys it's 1118 00:55:02,720 --> 00:55:04,080 hard to keep up with. That is a very good 1119 00:55:04,080 --> 00:55:06,560 representation of one of the Daenerys's. 1120 00:55:07,680 --> 00:55:10,760 Is it season 1? OK, yeah, I I am not good with 1121 00:55:10,760 --> 00:55:11,960 this.

Yeah. 1124 00:55:17,880 --> 00:55:21,000 There's another Rainiera. This is the same lady that did a 1125 00:55:21,080 --> 00:55:23,880 young Rainier. So she did double Rainiera, one 1126 00:55:23,880 --> 00:55:25,720 after crowning and one as young Rainier. 1127 00:55:25,720 --> 00:55:27,760 Which it's. Incredible beadwork on both. 1128 00:55:27,760 --> 00:55:30,920 Like you can see they're very super custom designed. 1129 00:55:30,920 --> 00:55:35,160 Not just a a bot, but hand embroidered and beaded. 1130 00:55:35,640 --> 00:55:39,320 And another really good Rainier. This is someone who just, like, 1131 00:55:39,400 --> 00:55:41,840 looked quite a bit, like, in the face. 1132 00:55:41,840 --> 00:55:44,040 Like Emma Darcy. Yeah. 1133 00:55:44,080 --> 00:55:45,680 I can't remember dance today. Yeah. 1134 00:55:45,840 --> 00:55:48,280 Here's a great Aria.

Was a very good day it's. 1141 00:56:07,360 --> 00:56:09,840 Probably because we were blessed by Ned and Aria. 1142 00:56:10,280 --> 00:56:12,440 That helped us. Here's us hanging out with Sid, 1143 00:56:12,440 --> 00:56:15,440 George's assistant, Ashea and George, Ashea and George, Ashea 1144 00:56:15,440 --> 00:56:19,480 and Sid with the matching City of Dragons jackets looking 1145 00:56:19,480 --> 00:56:21,200 really good, I.

Karaxi's jackets. 1150 00:56:29,920 --> 00:56:32,480 It's so hard to say Karaxi's jacket, but it sounds cool. 1151 00:56:32,800 --> 00:56:34,160 So that looks good. Yeah, looking good. 1152 00:56:34,160 --> 00:56:36,120 Those jackets have scales on them and everything. 1153 00:56:36,120 --> 00:56:38,640 They're really nice. But you love a good 1154 00:56:38,640 --> 00:56:43,320 constellation. Hey, there's Chapel Hightower. 1155 00:56:43,560 --> 00:56:47,200 There's Naomi Makes Art as mashup of Allison Hightower and 1156 00:56:47,200 --> 00:56:49,960 Chapel Ron. The Chapel Ron mashups are are 1157 00:56:49,960 --> 00:56:51,880 are thing these days. There's a couple of them out 1158 00:56:51,880 --> 00:56:55,880 there is some good quality. We also saw a print of the 1159 00:56:56,160 --> 00:57:00,480 Chapel Joan of Arc. I will tell you again, that was 1160 00:57:00,480 --> 00:57:03,880 just Chapel Ron's costume for the VMAs. 1161 00:57:04,200 --> 00:57:05,760 So it's just. Oh yeah, you told me that, 1162 00:57:05,760 --> 00:57:07,040 didn't you? It's so. 1163 00:57:07,040 --> 00:57:10,320 But people didn't. That's why that's why our our 1164 00:57:10,320 --> 00:57:14,200 friend Kathy Looking Glass cosplay did she actually did She 1165 00:57:14,200 --> 00:57:17,320 actually did that, but she also did a mash up where she did she 1166 00:57:17,320 --> 00:57:20,160 did a a Chapel Targaryen. Cosplay. 1167 00:57:20,160 --> 00:57:22,000 With that specific thing. So that's where Z's got 1168 00:57:22,000 --> 00:57:23,120 confused. Our. 1169 00:57:23,160 --> 00:57:27,200 Friend Meg has done chit pull Rowan which is chit from the do 1170 00:57:27,200 --> 00:57:31,520 it lady mean mashed up with Chapel ROMs S Rowan so there's 1171 00:57:31,520 --> 00:57:34,800 all kinds of mash ups. Heck, yeah. 1172 00:57:35,560 --> 00:57:40,320 We thought about staying in New York a little longer because T 1173 00:57:40,320 --> 00:57:43,640 Mikel, who is a story consultant for House of the Dragon and a 1174 00:57:43,640 --> 00:57:48,320 producer for A Knight of Seven Kingdoms and former story 1175 00:57:48,320 --> 00:57:52,640 assistant to George, has her debut novel coming out or did 1176 00:57:52,640 --> 00:57:55,800 just come out. And the release event was 1177 00:57:56,040 --> 00:57:58,560 Tuesday. But we needed to get back here 1178 00:57:58,560 --> 00:58:01,640 to Atlanta to, well, work on this and work on this Sunday's 1179 00:58:01,640 --> 00:58:03,800 episode and get back in the swing of things. 1180 00:58:04,080 --> 00:58:06,720 I, I pulled a nice 16 hour drive on the way back. 1181 00:58:06,720 --> 00:58:08,760 That was fun. This is a beast 'cause he drives 1182 00:58:08,760 --> 00:58:12,080 all the way there and all the way back and he just just 1183 00:58:12,080 --> 00:58:18,120 caffeines up audio book music. Yeah, he especially like the way 1184 00:58:18,120 --> 00:58:20,120 there is impressive enough. But on the way back we were 1185 00:58:20,120 --> 00:58:22,880 zonked. We had like 12 hour plus days at 1186 00:58:22,880 --> 00:58:26,080 the con 'cause we were getting up and getting there by 10:00 1187 00:58:26,080 --> 00:58:27,800 AM. Anyways, I was very impressed. 1188 00:58:27,800 --> 00:58:29,480 Maybe that's why I can't remember names. 1189 00:58:29,480 --> 00:58:31,480 Yeah, exactly. But I'm like you, you mixing up 1190 00:58:31,480 --> 00:58:32,880 names. I'm like, I'm not surprised. 1191 00:58:32,880 --> 00:58:37,640 I would be zonked for a week. Anyway, yeah, it was worth it. 1192 00:58:37,640 --> 00:58:40,640 I was excited part partly I had extra energy because I was 1193 00:58:40,640 --> 00:58:44,000 excited to talk about this. The the trip went well and the 1194 00:58:44,000 --> 00:58:47,600 vibes about from production and from George's people are just so 1195 00:58:47,600 --> 00:58:51,920 good about the show. And yeah, I mean, let's live in 1196 00:58:51,920 --> 00:58:53,600 the moment with it. It's going to it's it's good 1197 00:58:53,600 --> 00:58:55,480 now. You know, we've been through 1198 00:58:55,480 --> 00:58:58,320 this before and it has been good and then isn't good later. 1199 00:58:58,800 --> 00:59:01,040 But let's not worry about that. You know, we'll see what 1200 00:59:01,040 --> 00:59:03,320 happens. For now, we're we're doing 1201 00:59:03,320 --> 00:59:05,440 great. Let's keep that vibe going. 1202 00:59:05,440 --> 00:59:07,680 And, you know, in, in like a few months, we're going to be 1203 00:59:07,680 --> 00:59:09,280 watching the show. OK. 1204 00:59:09,280 --> 00:59:11,280 Oh, I forgot to say something when we were looking at the 1205 00:59:11,280 --> 00:59:14,160 different pavilions. Yeah, but we got to see a little 1206 00:59:14,160 --> 00:59:18,240 bit of the sets set photos. Not a lot, kind of similar 1207 00:59:18,240 --> 00:59:19,600 photos to what George is supposed to do. 1208 00:59:19,600 --> 00:59:22,360 Is not a blog and but more of it. 1209 00:59:22,680 --> 00:59:26,080 And one of the shots we saw was of Lionel Baratheon's pavilion 1210 00:59:26,320 --> 00:59:28,800 and it looks really cool. Like the exterior of it. 1211 00:59:28,800 --> 00:59:31,040 I don't know that I want to exactly give you say what what's 1212 00:59:31,040 --> 00:59:33,960 on it, but I think it looks really cool. 1213 00:59:33,960 --> 00:59:38,280 I'm excited for a lot of of of just more sets to see in that 1214 00:59:38,280 --> 00:59:41,080 vein, more pavilions and heraldry and just all the little 1215 00:59:41,080 --> 00:59:43,120 touches like that. It got me really excited. 1216 00:59:43,880 --> 00:59:49,360 Yeah, it, it's just, it's hard to express the everything coming 1217 00:59:49,360 --> 00:59:51,760 together like this. As I sort of talked about the 1218 00:59:51,760 --> 00:59:55,800 intro this the fact that this is being made at all just makes me 1219 00:59:56,280 --> 01:00:00,080 think about where we were years ago and how unlikely that was. 1220 01:00:00,080 --> 01:00:03,240 And it that's a that makes me feel super grateful and almost 1221 01:00:03,240 --> 01:00:04,920 overcome. It's like we are just so lucky 1222 01:00:04,920 --> 01:00:09,080 that this got made and that it appears to be a quality 1223 01:00:09,080 --> 01:00:12,720 production, you know, even. Yeah, I we're, we're very lucky, 1224 01:00:12,720 --> 01:00:14,680 y'all. And I'm excited to go through 1225 01:00:14,680 --> 01:00:16,400 this experience with you all in just a few months. 1226 01:00:16,400 --> 01:00:19,000 In fact, it's almost three months to the day of this 1227 01:00:19,000 --> 01:00:23,600 recording that we'll be watching the show and reviewing it and 1228 01:00:23,600 --> 01:00:27,000 having fun with that and discussing its relevance to its 1229 01:00:27,000 --> 01:00:28,640 connections to the books and all that. 1230 01:00:28,840 --> 01:00:31,600 And inspiring other discussions about the books as well, and 1231 01:00:31,600 --> 01:00:35,040 rereads and all that good stuff that always comes with ATV 1232 01:00:35,040 --> 01:00:38,280 season. So on behalf of Ashea, we will 1233 01:00:38,280 --> 01:00:40,920 see you all very soon for more content. 1234 01:00:41,480 --> 01:00:44,320 This is not one of our regular Sunday episodes, does not 1235 01:00:44,320 --> 01:00:46,840 replace a Sunday episode. So we will be doing live stream 1236 01:00:46,840 --> 01:00:50,280 again in a couple days. That's on at our usual time. 1237 01:00:50,680 --> 01:00:52,600 We'll see you all then. You know what to do in the 1238 01:00:52,600 --> 01:00:54,480 meantime. Oh, yeah. 1239 01:00:54,800 --> 01:00:55,720 Oh, gosh. And the pole. 1240 01:00:55,720 --> 01:00:58,040 My goodness. So that's not everything. 1241 01:00:58,040 --> 01:01:00,440 Yeah. OK, so here's the trivia answer. 1242 01:01:00,680 --> 01:01:02,840 The question again was dunk believe Sir Humphrey Harding was 1243 01:01:02,840 --> 01:01:04,960 the most impressive night on the first day. 1244 01:01:05,080 --> 01:01:09,280 How many nights did he humble? The answer is 14. 1245 01:01:10,120 --> 01:01:11,960 What about our poll results? The question was, which 1246 01:01:11,960 --> 01:01:14,600 character out of these four are you most excited to see on 1247 01:01:14,600 --> 01:01:18,720 screen? Baylor, Makar, Tenzel or Aryan 1248 01:01:19,400 --> 01:01:20,720 or, sorry, Laughing Storm, rather. 1249 01:01:21,240 --> 01:01:27,840 And the answer is, it looks like the answer is Baylor. 1250 01:01:28,360 --> 01:01:32,000 Baylor won almost half the vote. Very interesting. 1251 01:01:32,000 --> 01:01:36,600 All right, that's cool. Well, we won't see more of 1252 01:01:36,600 --> 01:01:42,000 Baylor until the next trailer or the show, but we do have a pair 1253 01:01:42,000 --> 01:01:44,680 of Baylor Breaks beer episodes. Y'all can check that out. 1254 01:01:44,680 --> 01:01:47,840 That's a that was a lot of fun to make, a lot of content with 1255 01:01:47,840 --> 01:01:49,080 Baylor. Lots to say about him. 1256 01:01:49,080 --> 01:01:52,280 What a big impact he had on Westeros in his time. 1257 01:01:52,760 --> 01:01:56,240 OK, let me say two things. One, George really talked up 1258 01:01:56,240 --> 01:01:58,880 Lionel Baratheon in the laughing storm, as did the people. 1259 01:01:59,000 --> 01:02:02,960 Anyone we talked to who's seen episodes, you know, also said 1260 01:02:02,960 --> 01:02:06,080 Lionel that Daniel Ings just was a stand out. 1261 01:02:06,320 --> 01:02:09,200 So Lionel Baratheon at 24% pretty good. 1262 01:02:09,400 --> 01:02:13,480 Make our Targaryen at 18% ten so too tall at 9%. 1263 01:02:13,600 --> 01:02:16,440 Y'all are weak because she's going to be a fan favorite too. 1264 01:02:16,680 --> 01:02:19,480 I think people are going to love her mummery. 1265 01:02:19,560 --> 01:02:22,680 She's going to be Sir one of the mirror shield himself. 1266 01:02:23,400 --> 01:02:26,960 I think she's going to be great. So I I think she deserves more 1267 01:02:26,960 --> 01:02:28,800 than 9%. But I can't really fault y'all 1268 01:02:28,800 --> 01:02:32,640 because I'm really excited for Lionel and Makar and Baylor too. 1269 01:02:32,640 --> 01:02:34,040 Yeah, it's a self choice. Great. 1270 01:02:34,080 --> 01:02:37,800 Great set of characters there, but I think Chancel is going to 1271 01:02:37,800 --> 01:02:40,440 have even more here because I think seeing her do memory 1272 01:02:40,440 --> 01:02:43,640 rather than the puppetry is going to be a little bit more 1273 01:02:44,000 --> 01:02:45,920 engaging to viewers. Sure, yeah. 1274 01:02:45,920 --> 01:02:47,480 Puppetry. Wouldn't puppetry on screen? 1275 01:02:47,480 --> 01:02:49,680 Maybe not so exciting. Yeah, I love it. 1276 01:02:49,680 --> 01:02:51,680 I think the Dark Crystal specifically. 1277 01:02:51,680 --> 01:02:53,400 I mean it is a puppetry. That kind of puppetry. 1278 01:02:53,400 --> 01:02:55,800 Yeah, this is what I'm saying is The Dark Crystal had a scene in 1279 01:02:55,800 --> 01:03:01,720 the Age of Resistance where they do a puppetry show, so it was so 1280 01:03:01,720 --> 01:03:04,680 cool and stunning. So I believe that they could do 1281 01:03:04,680 --> 01:03:07,840 a lot with that. However, I still think a a a 1282 01:03:07,840 --> 01:03:10,720 mummer you know is is maybe a little bit more exciting. 1283 01:03:11,000 --> 01:03:13,200 Right on. We also have an episode on Sir 1284 01:03:13,200 --> 01:03:15,400 One of the Mirror Shield, so there's another one for you to 1285 01:03:15,400 --> 01:03:17,560 check out if you want to stay immersed in these topics. 1286 01:03:17,560 --> 01:03:21,040 And of course, we have our full reviews of The Hedge Knight, The 1287 01:03:21,040 --> 01:03:25,200 Sworn Sword, which I wrote in my notes as The Sword, Sword and 1288 01:03:25,520 --> 01:03:30,840 Mystery Knight Sword, Sword and Mystery Night. 1289 01:03:30,840 --> 01:03:33,200 That is confirmed. It's sword Sword. 1290 01:03:34,040 --> 01:03:36,480 And of course, we had an episode as well called The Dreams of 1291 01:03:36,480 --> 01:03:38,760 Duncan Egg, which was envisioning what this show would 1292 01:03:38,760 --> 01:03:41,680 be like and how they would manage it and what comes later, 1293 01:03:41,680 --> 01:03:44,840 what comes after the three novellas that have been 1294 01:03:44,840 --> 01:03:46,960 published. So there's a lot of cool meta 1295 01:03:46,960 --> 01:03:50,480 and exploration of what's next and stuff like that. 1296 01:03:50,480 --> 01:03:53,360 So that's a cool episode. Very different, but very deep in 1297 01:03:53,360 --> 01:03:56,520 the Duncan Egg world here. So we hope you enjoy some of 1298 01:03:56,520 --> 01:04:00,840 that and we hope you stick with us for our regular content right 1299 01:04:00,840 --> 01:04:02,880 up until the time where we get to talk about this show. 1300 01:04:04,240 --> 01:04:08,480 Sorry for the false start slash end start to the end, false 1301 01:04:08,480 --> 01:04:11,200 start to the ending. Here's the real ending. 1302 01:04:11,760 --> 01:04:13,920 On behalf of Ashea, thanks to all of you. 1303 01:04:13,960 --> 01:04:16,720 Thanks to who did our intro. Is it Michael Klarfeld intro? 1304 01:04:16,720 --> 01:04:19,760 This one Michael Klarfeld's intro and Joey Townsend for the 1305 01:04:19,760 --> 01:04:21,840 music. The exciting thing here is that 1306 01:04:21,840 --> 01:04:26,960 Bran the Builder is creating an intro for our Night of the Seven 1307 01:04:26,960 --> 01:04:30,120 Kingdoms coverage and I can tell you it is going to be a puppet 1308 01:04:30,120 --> 01:04:31,520 show. It is going to be puppets. 1309 01:04:31,760 --> 01:04:36,000 So there might not be an intro credits for the actual Night of 1310 01:04:36,000 --> 01:04:39,200 the Seven Kingdoms show, but we are going to have one and I 1311 01:04:39,200 --> 01:04:40,600 think y'all are going to love it. 1312 01:04:40,760 --> 01:04:43,120 But for now, we just did Michael's intro, which is also 1313 01:04:43,120 --> 01:04:45,040 phenomenal. Bran the Builder is the one who 1314 01:04:45,040 --> 01:04:47,320 did our first two seasons of House of Dragon intro. 1315 01:04:47,320 --> 01:04:49,600 House of the Dragon intro. So you you are familiar with his 1316 01:04:49,600 --> 01:04:51,280 work if you've seen any of those, and it is great. 1317 01:04:51,280 --> 01:04:52,760 So yeah, something to look forward to. 1318 01:04:53,360 --> 01:04:56,960 Until next time, Valar Ririus.
