1
00:01:37,510 --> 00:01:43,830
From fire comes darkness. 
That's the tagline, the motto of

2
00:01:43,830 --> 00:01:45,630
Season 3. 
It's a fitting name. 

3
00:01:45,630 --> 00:01:47,470
Nothing good comes from all this
burning. 

4
00:01:47,630 --> 00:01:51,670
Fire consumes it, gives light as
long as it has something to 

5
00:01:51,670 --> 00:01:53,960
consume. 
But when that's gone, yeah, 

6
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:55,680
you're left with darkness. 
Nothing. 

7
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:59,800
A recurring theme of the earlier
seasons was mitigation. 

8
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:05,360
Constraint or restraint or not 
constraint. 

9
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:09,120
Containment, we should say. 
Viserys did a bad job of it, but

10
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:11,360
he tried to stop his family from
fighting. 

11
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:13,320
He had the right idea, just not 
very good. 

12
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:17,520
The skills. 
There was some restraint, slash 

13
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:19,240
compartmentalizing of the 
violence. 

14
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:22,520
Even after the death of Luke, 
and even after Blood and Cheese 

15
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:24,880
and then Eric and Arc, it was 
still mostly just the two 

16
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:28,560
families going at it. 
They hadn't really dragged a lot

17
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:33,880
of other people into it, but by 
the end of season 2, several 

18
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:35,720
families have been dragged into 
it. 

19
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:39,080
Some have been murdered or had 
their Lords killed or their 

20
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:43,480
places burned. 
And nearly everyone else is on 

21
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:47,240
the March or on the sail, right?
There's Northerners coming down,

22
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:52,240
southerners coming up, Sosians 
sailing over. 

23
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:56,480
You got the Valerians at sea. 
I mean, it is really quite set 

24
00:02:56,480 --> 00:03:00,640
up to be like the Storm of 
Swords of the Dance of the 

25
00:03:00,640 --> 00:03:03,080
Dragons, right? 
This is the most deadly, the 

26
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:06,920
most decisive when, when all 
that restraint and 

27
00:03:06,920 --> 00:03:11,160
compartmentalizing is replaced 
by the Game of Thrones itself. 

28
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:15,680
This really is a when or die 
time to be in. 

29
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:19,440
So it's pretty exciting and we 
got our first taste of how this 

30
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:21,400
is going to hit the screens, 
which is June. 

31
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,720
We're going to have it in June. 
We don't have the precise date 

32
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,520
yet, but we'll breakdown what we
have so far. 

33
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:30,200
All that and more on this 
episode of History of Westeros 

34
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:35,560
podcast. 
Hello, welcome to our first 

35
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,080
trailer review of House of the 
Dragon Season 3. 

36
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:39,280
I imagine we'll do a couple of 
these. 

37
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:42,560
They'll be more trailers. 
The episode don't begin until 

38
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:44,840
June, so they'll probably be 
some more shortly. 

39
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:46,480
This was just a teaser, not a 
full trailer. 

40
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:48,720
So at the very least we'll have 
another full trailer. 

41
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,960
I can't remember a time where we
only got 1 trailer though, so 

42
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:54,840
we'll have more to talk about. 
But this is a good start, you 

43
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:56,400
know? 
So this is not some regular time

44
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:59,240
that we're referring to. 
We are just doing these whenever

45
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:00,640
they happen. 
That's how we've kind of always 

46
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:02,360
done it. 
But we are still in Night of the

47
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:03,560
Seven Kingdoms coverage right 
now. 

48
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,560
It's kind of amazing that we're 
already talking about the next 

49
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:09,040
show because it's already on 
already getting information 

50
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:10,040
about it. 
So that's pretty cool.

on any of our socials. 

54
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,959
We're pretty much on every site.
The the trailer is definitely 

55
00:04:21,959 --> 00:04:24,000
highly focused on the main 
characters. 

56
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:27,040
There's Ray, Neera and Allison 
and Damon and Amon quite a bit, 

57
00:04:27,280 --> 00:04:30,560
a good bit of Aegon, some 
Kristen Cole and some Corliss, a

58
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:35,320
little bit of Jace of of a 
glimpse of Alan and Gwain and 

59
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:40,000
Mazaria and Oscar Tully. 
Lots of soldiers, lots of 

60
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,400
Dragons. 
There's Lord Ormond in all his 

61
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:43,680
glory. 
That's one of the new characters

62
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:45,440
that we get a very clear shot 
of. 

63
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:47,920
We don't actually see any of the
dragon seeds. 

64
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:52,240
We still haven't seen Darren, 
but we do see Tassarian, so we 

65
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:55,520
know he's right there. 
And we don't see Otto or Alice 

66
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:58,040
or any of the other strongs. 
But you know, there's a lot of 

67
00:04:58,040 --> 00:04:59,200
characters. 
They can't show them all in one 

68
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:00,960
trailer. 
Makes sense that they'd focus on

69
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:04,280
the biggest ones. 
Here is a poll question for you 

70
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:06,280
all. 
That way we'll reveal the 

71
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:08,360
percentages and what you all 
picked at the end here. 

72
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:13,480
Will we see the Cannibal or Grey
Ghost this season? 

73
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:17,920
Your possible choices are both 
Cannibal only, Grey Ghost only, 

74
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:21,040
or neither. 
Yeah, and one of the reasons I 

75
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,640
want to give you extra context 
before you give your answer. 

76
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:27,440
Originally, Ryan Condall said 
we'd see all the Dragons. 

77
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:29,920
Now, did he mean all, including 
the wild? 

78
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,680
Someone asked him to include the
wild and he seemed to indicate 

79
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:35,320
yes, however, things have 
changed. 

80
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:37,720
He's also indicated we'd see 
Mailor at one point. 

81
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:41,640
So things change, right? 
Which, yeah, there's no Mailer. 

82
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:45,800
So. 
And, and one other hint here is 

83
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,800
that one of the shots we have, 
we'll look at later. 

84
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:52,400
There appears to be Aegon 
appears to be looking up and up 

85
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:53,920
as if he's seeing a dragon go 
above. 

86
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:57,640
And well, that could be. 
So we'll see. 

87
00:05:57,640 --> 00:05:58,840
We'll talk about that when we 
get to it. 

88
00:05:58,840 --> 00:06:01,920
Let's talk about things in the 
rough order of the trailer 

89
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:03,640
trying to piece together what's 
there. 

90
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:05,680
It's a lot of battle scenes, so 
some of these aren't 

91
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:08,880
particularly telling, but it's 
pretty cool that it seems to be 

92
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:12,440
picking up almost exactly where 
it left off in in a sense that's

93
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:16,640
a little funny because that was 
like 2 years ago, but still you 

94
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:18,600
I wouldn't see why they would 
want to skip anything here. 

95
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:20,400
It makes sense to to pick up 
right where they left off. 

96
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:23,920
In fact, we have amond the first
shot Allison coming in. 

97
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:29,920
This is 100% a call back to the 
very first scene after the after

98
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:33,680
Rainier flies her dragon and 
the, you know, great council 

99
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:35,400
scene where she comes into the 
throne room. 

100
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:37,160
There's nobody there except 
Damon on the throne. 

101
00:06:37,280 --> 00:06:39,920
And we have, you know, Damon 
Junior Amond. 

102
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:44,240
And it's Rainier in that first 
scene asking Damon where he's 

103
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:46,560
been. 
And he she's not suspicious, but

104
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:48,840
she still asks the question 
because he's been gone for a 

105
00:06:48,840 --> 00:06:49,920
while. 
They discuss where he is. 

106
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:52,520
And here Amon is suspicious. 
He's like, where have you been? 

107
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:56,480
And of course, we know that she 
was at the Dragonstone arranging

108
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:57,880
for a surrender. 
He's not going to be too happy 

109
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:02,520
about that, however, both from 
the book and from a later shot 

110
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:05,520
in the trailer or slash the 
behind the scenes photos that 

111
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:09,280
have been released so far. 
There's a a shot of them 

112
00:07:09,280 --> 00:07:11,960
pressing foreheads together as 
if something terrible has 

113
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:13,640
happened. 
They're bonding. 

114
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:15,720
Yeah, here it is. 
She looks pretty sad. 

115
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:17,560
He looks just more regular, 
somber. 

116
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:18,760
She looks like she's about to 
cry. 

117
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:22,720
So something probably very bad 
has happened, and that may 

118
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:28,120
alleviate some of the split that
maybe Eamon is feeling, but it's

119
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:30,880
also very, very fitting with 
Eamon's growing paranoia. 

120
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:34,680
He's going to be paranoid. 
And in this case, he's right. 

121
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:38,120
I mean, let's be honest, he's 
right to be paranoid about what 

122
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:39,680
Allison was doing. 
You can. 

123
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:42,280
Also see that it's during the 
scene we see in the trailer 

124
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:44,040
'cause they have the same 
background of like the 

125
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:47,880
fireplace. 
And that yes, and in that shot, 

126
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,360
she's saying that it's only a 
matter of time before Rainier 

127
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:54,360
ascends her Dragons. 
And she from Allison's position,

128
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,280
the reason she was going to 
surrender is not just to save 

129
00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:59,040
her children because she thinks 
they're losing. 

130
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,240
And she's not necessarily wrong.
I mean, she's like, OK, well, 

131
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:04,400
they have all these new Dragons.
They just got 3 new dragon 

132
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:06,080
riders. 
And yeah, we have Vergar, the 

133
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:08,280
biggest one. 
And yeah, we got my son down in 

134
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:10,680
Old Town, but that's they way 
outnumber us. 

135
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:13,640
And she's right, Right. 
So looking for a way to end the 

136
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:17,200
war makes a lot of sense just 
from a pragmatic sense, not just

137
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:20,600
from saving her children, but 
there's that is obviously hugely

138
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:23,480
important to her as well. 
And then, like in the trailer, 

139
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:27,160
this kind of is mirrored by 
Rainier telling her counsel that

140
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:28,720
Allison will surrender the city 
to her. 

141
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:32,960
And we don't really see the 
reactions of everybody except 

142
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,919
for Jace, who says you cannot 
trust her. 

143
00:08:36,039 --> 00:08:37,960
I we don't actually know who 
he's talking about, but it's 

144
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:43,159
probably Allison. 
And yeah, like, they're right. 

145
00:08:43,159 --> 00:08:45,080
They're right. 
They didn't see what They don't 

146
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,320
know her or their relationship. 
They don't know that Allison is 

147
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:48,400
actually probably telling the 
truth. 

148
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:51,440
But what they and they also 
Rainier doesn't know. 

149
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:54,400
Is that, how can Allison 
actually pull that off? 

150
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:57,280
How can she get all of her 
people to go along with that? 

151
00:08:57,720 --> 00:08:59,400
She doesn't necessarily have 
that authority. 

152
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:01,840
So it isn't just that you can't 
trust her in terms of maybe 

153
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:05,240
she's dishonest, it's can she 
actually pull that off? 

154
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:09,760
So, and as we know from the 
book, this doesn't happen. 

155
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:14,480
So this is just some extra setup
intention, and ultimately 

156
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:16,720
Rainier is going to take King's 
Landing by 4, so there isn't 

157
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:19,320
going to be a surrender. 
Although Allison herself will 

158
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:21,600
probably surrender the Red Keep,
just like in the book, and that 

159
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:26,440
will kind of be well set up by 
these previous negotiations, 

160
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:28,880
that will not succeed. 
See Mazaria here too. 

161
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:32,040
Yeah, there she is walking in. 
I wonder if she'll what her role

162
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:33,320
will be. 
She's probably going to have a 

163
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:36,720
similar ish role, but she's not 
as you know, villainous. 

164
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:39,080
She's awfully, you know, a lot 
of a lot of the villainy is 

165
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:40,880
removed from a lot of the 
characters in from the in the 

166
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:43,920
show, But there is still time 
and people can get dark. 

167
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:45,120
We talked about that a lot last 
season. 

168
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:48,480
There's a lot of evidence of 
Rainier getting darker and 

169
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:51,280
Mazaria, my pusher in that 
direction as well. 

170
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:54,120
Or maybe a little we might push 
each other, who knows? 

171
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:56,840
But certainly they started to 
have a bit of a relationship or 

172
00:09:56,840 --> 00:10:00,000
at least flirted almost 
literally with the idea. 

173
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:01,320
And I, I expect that to 
continue. 

174
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:03,840
I doubt that was just a one off.
I know that some people weren't 

175
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:05,600
big on that, but we liked it. 
We thought it was great. 

176
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:09,360
Like, it's a, it's a very, you 
know, standard way for one 

177
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:11,840
person to manipulate another. 
You get intimate with somebody 

178
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:14,760
and you can really push them to 
do what you want them to do. 

179
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:18,760
It's a, it was a really human 
way to have power over somebody.

180
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:21,920
And it's an unusual aspect of 
people who have a lot of power. 

181
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:24,680
Well, who has power over the 
people who have power? 

182
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:28,960
Mazari herself has way less 
power on her own than she has if

183
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,200
she's able to get Rainier to do 
things. 

184
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:34,880
Jenny of Cold Stone Creamery, 
one of my favorite commenter 

185
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:39,000
names, says maybe the trailer is
faking us out and Jace is 

186
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,920
warning about Mazaria, which is 
possible. 

187
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:44,520
I think it makes sense for him 
to warn about Allison, but I do 

188
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:47,000
think Rainier I shouldn't trust 
Mazaria. 

189
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:50,880
The reason I tend to like this 
theory and I considered it 

190
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:54,520
myself as Jace says it to her as
if it's almost a secret, like 

191
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:56,800
you cannot trust her. 
It's like, I feel like everyone 

192
00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:59,080
in the room is going to be 
feeling that He's like, why is 

193
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:01,560
he saying this quietly? 
You know, he's like, I imagine 

194
00:11:01,560 --> 00:11:04,880
like everyone on her council is 
saying that, you know, like, why

195
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:08,160
is he saying, yeah, so I can see
that that it's, you know, a 

196
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:11,720
Mazaria is is he's he's arguing 
about somebody else or warning 

197
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:13,720
about somebody else. 
We have the shot of Allison 

198
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:16,160
approaching the Red Keep. 
This is probably just her 

199
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:17,680
returning. 
I mean, she's got a Kingsguard 

200
00:11:17,680 --> 00:11:19,000
with her. 
This is probably just her 

201
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:21,440
returning from being a 
Dragonstone and walking right to

202
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:24,960
the throne room. 
But let's follow Allison inside 

203
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:27,560
and discuss the rest of the Red 
Keep scenes, at least the ones 

204
00:11:27,560 --> 00:11:30,440
we think are in the Red Keep. 
There's a voice over of Amond 

205
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:32,720
saying the king has abdicated 
the throne. 

206
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:36,520
This line is given to us as we 
actually see Larius and Aegon 

207
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:39,320
traipsing through a forest, both
as which is probably really 

208
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:41,280
rough going for them because 
they both have canes. 

209
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:44,080
More on that in a minute. 
Then he says a new dawn is 

210
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:47,240
coming, a new line of Unsullied 
kings. 

211
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:52,400
Now, of course, he just means 
not bastards, you know, I guess 

212
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:55,120
that's what the strong's are in 
the book. 

213
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:57,960
He never goes as far as to call 
himself king, but he does rule 

214
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:00,640
effectively as one. 
And you know, even in the book 

215
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:03,200
he may have been aiming for it, 
but just being a little sly 

216
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:05,320
about it, which might be what 
they're doing here as well. 

217
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:08,240
We would see the overt nature of
it more because we're getting 

218
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:10,040
more up and close and personal 
with these characters than we 

219
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:12,040
are in the novel. 
We don't see these intimate 

220
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:14,400
moments between the characters 
in their bedrooms and in the 

221
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:15,560
throne room when there's just 
two of them. 

222
00:12:15,560 --> 00:12:16,600
Those don't. 
Those aren't in the history 

223
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:18,280
books, which, you know, why 
would they be? 

224
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:21,960
On the other hand, restraint not
exactly Amon's Forte. 

225
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,880
He's not entirely alien to it, 
either. 

226
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:28,760
He can use restraint as a 
strategy and, you know, he's not

227
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:32,680
someone whoever fell victim to, 
you know, being a big drinker or

228
00:12:32,680 --> 00:12:36,000
other things like that. 
So he, he maybe restraint, he 

229
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,240
has in some ways patience, 
perhaps not. 

230
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:41,560
We have a shot of several 
Targaryen guardsmen drawing 

231
00:12:41,560 --> 00:12:43,480
their swords with their backs to
the throne. 

232
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,480
That's interesting just 'cause 
they're not Kingsguard. 

233
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:49,600
Our best thought is this is 
coming during the taking of 

234
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:55,680
King's Landing, that these are 
Greens, yeah, who are resisting.

235
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:57,400
They're red shirts, but they're 
green. 

236
00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:01,800
They're green, red shirts, Yes. 
They're quite clearly on team 

237
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:04,080
Green cause of the color of that
dragon there. 

238
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:06,400
That is the yeah, quite, quite 
clear. 

239
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:11,080
So the only reason I can imagine
all these so many guardsmen 

240
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:13,880
pulling their swords in the 
throne room is for that reason 

241
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:16,680
if unless this is something that
isn't in the book. 

242
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:21,720
So that makes a lot of sense. 
Now we have Damon here, looks 

243
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:24,400
like it might be the throne 
room, and he's in full armor, 

244
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:26,920
and he's going out with some guy
that looks like it might be one 

245
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:28,960
of those guys. 
The armor's similar to the green

246
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:30,960
cloak. 
Those guys did have green 

247
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:32,720
cloaks, didn't they? 
Were they green cloaks? 

248
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:33,480
Yeah. 
OK. 

249
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:34,640
So yeah, I think this is 
fitting. 

250
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:38,440
So this is probably Damon and 
company cutting down the last 

251
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:42,120
group of guards and then paving 
the way for Rainier to waltz 

252
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:44,680
right in and sit on that throne 
where she may or may not cut 

253
00:13:44,680 --> 00:13:47,840
herself, like in the books. 
We have this next shot, I 

254
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:51,360
believe, which is of Allison 
horrified. 

255
00:13:51,560 --> 00:13:55,520
She's outside, I think, but not 
in the wilderness outside. 

256
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:58,120
She's just putting her glove 
hand over her mouth. 

257
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:03,200
And yeah, it looks like maybe 
like a courtyard or city street 

258
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:05,600
or something like that. 
This is pretty horrified. 

259
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:07,200
Like her face is very horrified 
and. 

260
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:10,880
She's looking up, then down. 
Yeah, up then down, which might 

261
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:14,880
mean people have been hanged. 
In the book, her father and the 

262
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:17,920
other small council members are 
beheaded, I believe, but 

263
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:19,240
whatever. 
Like they're changing that to 

264
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:21,760
some hangings. 
That's they could also just hang

265
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:23,000
the bodies up after beheading 
them. 

266
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:24,200
That's that's a normal thing to 
do. 

267
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:27,760
Another possibility is that 
Kristen's body is brought back 

268
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:29,440
or her brother's body is brought
back. 

269
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:31,640
In the book, her brother dies in
the city. 

270
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:33,600
He's not out. 
He's not off with Kristen. 

271
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:34,960
So that's just different. 
Anyway. 

272
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:40,720
Now, if this is, you know, Otto 
or the small council, you would 

273
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:43,960
expect Allison maybe to be in 
chains or to be in captivity. 

274
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:46,000
Well, maybe that's just about to
happen. 

275
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:47,800
Maybe. 
Or maybe if Rainier just doesn't

276
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:50,320
bother putting her in chains 
because, I mean, she's no 

277
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:54,400
threat, you know? 
So in any case, this is almost 

278
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:57,040
certainly someone dying or 
something real bad like that 

279
00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:59,800
along those lines. 
So your guess is as good as 

280
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:01,120
ours. 
Let us know who you think it is.

281
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:05,040
One fringe possibility is they 
somehow recover Jason's body. 

282
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:08,720
And then Allison is even more 
afraid of what Rainier is going 

283
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:09,920
to do. 
She's already afraid that 

284
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:11,320
Rainier is going to come with 
her new Dragons. 

285
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:14,400
And if Jace dies, then well. 
Yeah. 

286
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:16,840
And yeah, a lot of people are 
thinking it could be Helena. 

287
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:19,000
I hope not. 
I hope it's not this soon. 

288
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:20,880
Yeah, it shouldn't be this soon,
but it's possible. 

289
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:22,360
Yeah, I got to acknowledge. 
We got to acknowledge the 

290
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:24,120
possibility they could change 
the timeline on that. 

291
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:27,920
Let us talk about Aegon and 
Laris now. 

292
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:28,960
Earlier I brought up their 
canes. 

293
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:30,960
I wasn't making fun of them for 
that, of course. 

294
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:36,120
It's it's just really difficult 
and it's very not inconspicuous.

295
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:38,760
It's very conspicuous walk, 2 
dudes walking around with canes.

296
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:41,280
Like, if you just have two guys 
in hooded cloaks, it's pretty 

297
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:46,280
easy to not notice that or to 
not have much to say later. 

298
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:47,800
Like, well, there were two guys 
in cloaks, What other 

299
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:50,400
description can I give? 
But two guys with canes is, 

300
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:53,280
yeah, that really stands out. 
So that's probably why they're 

301
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:57,400
in a forest, because otherwise 
they would be noticed just for 

302
00:15:57,400 --> 00:15:59,600
that reason. 
If not, just some people might 

303
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:02,320
actually recognize Aegon. 
Even though he's, you know, a 

304
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:05,880
bit burned, he's not burned so 
badly that he's unrecognizable. 

305
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:08,520
So, you know, the Cape here, the
cloak, all makes sense. 

306
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:10,040
Even though Lars isn't bothering
with that. 

307
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:12,400
He's not as well known, I 
suppose. 

308
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:16,240
There's another shot that I 
believe is related to their 

309
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:20,640
flight to their escape. 
It's a shot of Aegon stabbing a 

310
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:23,000
man after some desperate 
struggle. 

311
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:25,120
The man, Aegon's on the guy's 
back while the dude is reaching 

312
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:27,480
for his sword and Aegon stabs 
him in the side. 

313
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:30,240
There's a few other bodies 
around as well. 

314
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:32,920
So there's been a struggle. 
I think Laris is off to the left

315
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:34,280
there. 
You can maybe see his leg. 

316
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:38,960
So something comes up here. 
This is bit of a a brouhaha. 

317
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:40,640
I'm guessing this is on 
Dragonstone. 

318
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:43,240
It's like it might be a beach. 
Maybe this is when they get to 

319
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:45,400
Dragonstone and they're 
recognized by some fishermen. 

320
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:47,480
They have to kill some people to
stay inconspicuous. 

321
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:51,800
So that's my best guess is this 
is after they get to 

322
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:54,200
Dragonstone, or maybe this is 
them stealing a boat from 

323
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:58,040
somebody to go to Dragonstone, 
something like that. 

324
00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:00,440
We also have a shot of Aegon in 
what appears to be a street. 

325
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:03,360
This guard to the left is 
definitely looking at him. 

326
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:06,359
I don't know that he, you know, 
was going to do anything about 

327
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:08,960
it, but it's notable that 
someone is noticing him. 

328
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:11,800
This is not King's Landing. 
Don't forget that they have 

329
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:14,040
already left King's Landing. 
We saw the last scene of them 

330
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:18,920
was in a Raven cart going who 
knows where exactly, presumably 

331
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:21,920
somewhere that can then take 
them to Dragonstone because we 

332
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:23,599
assume that's still where 
they're going, given the book 

333
00:17:23,599 --> 00:17:26,960
plot. 
So it looks like we're actually 

334
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:30,200
going to get to follow them a 
lot more, which is a difference 

335
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:31,400
from the book. 
And I think that's kind of cool.

336
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:33,080
In the book, you just, we don't 
know where they are. 

337
00:17:33,360 --> 00:17:35,720
And eventually they just appear 
on Dragon like, oh, they're on 

338
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:38,400
Dragonstone. 
OK, it looks like we're going to

339
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:41,480
be following them step by step, 
which has some some potential 

340
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:42,920
for some interesting stuff to 
happen. 

341
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:47,320
The perhaps most interesting 
part here though, this scene of 

342
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:50,480
Aegon it, it might be right 
after he kills that guy 'cause 

343
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:53,520
he's on his knees, but he's 
looking up and he keeps looking 

344
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:57,160
up and he keeps looking up. 
That's a dragon, right? 

345
00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:59,200
I just cannot imagine what else 
it would be. 

346
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:02,560
So This is why I was asking that
question in our poll at the 

347
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:04,240
beginning. 
Are we getting Sunfire and or 

348
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:05,880
cannibal or great? 
And it could be Sunfire. 

349
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:07,880
We could have been misled about 
Sunfire. 

350
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:10,160
We, I know Shay and I both had a
little bit of hope that that was

351
00:18:10,360 --> 00:18:13,320
a misdirection or no? 
I've always thought that there's

352
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:15,400
no way Sunfire is dead in the 
show. 

353
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:17,960
That's what I'm saying, yeah. 
OK, yeah, I know, Mr. I. 

354
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:19,920
Right, the show is getting 
misdirection. 

355
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:23,520
Yeah, I've always been fully 
confident that Sunfire is alive.

356
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:26,200
Yeah, I guess is my point. 
Yeah, so this could be Sunfire, 

357
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:28,760
but maybe more likely it's grey,
goes for the cannibal, and then 

358
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:31,600
Sunfire appears. 
Couldn't he see Moondancer and 

359
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:33,840
Bella? 
That shouldn't be anytime around

360
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:35,520
here. 
Doesn't he see? 

361
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:37,120
Wouldn't he see them around 
there? 

362
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:39,520
Around where? 
Around Dragonstone? 

363
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:41,520
No. 
I mean no. 

364
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:43,640
More than he he's got no more 
reason to see them than any of 

365
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:46,040
the other Dragons that are 
there, like like Vermithor or 

366
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:47,640
you know, any of the other 
dragon. 

367
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:48,680
Why? 
Why would Moondancer be more 

368
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:51,080
likely? 
Because that's the fight that 

369
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:53,480
happens. 
But that's like way later. 

370
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:55,560
I just mean that's why she he 
would see her. 

371
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:58,320
But OK, anyway, I don't I, I, I 
doubt it's Moon Dancer, but 

372
00:18:58,320 --> 00:18:59,320
you're right, it's certainly 
possible. 

373
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:01,200
So I think that's all the shots 
we have of egg on. 

374
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:02,880
So let's actually talk about 
Dragons somewhere right next 

375
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:05,080
door. 
There's always a lot of shots of

376
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:06,760
Rainier, just like they're 
always the shots of Allison. 

377
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:09,480
That's just a a go to for these 
trailers is to show their facial

378
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:11,600
expressions. 
A lot of times there's with 

379
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:14,320
Rainier in Rainier's case is 
like fire lair a lot of times 

380
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:16,800
behind her. 
And sometimes it's very telling,

381
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:18,000
even though it's just a facial 
expression. 

382
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:20,440
For example, there's a shot of 
her later where she's crying and

383
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:21,880
we can all kind of guess what 
that means. 

384
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:24,240
This one, though, I'm not so 
sure, You know, slow cut back 

385
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:26,080
looking up, she kind of looks 
hopeful or happy. 

386
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:31,440
Yeah, that's maybe right after 
she returns from Allison talking

387
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:34,240
to her and is is upbeat about 
the possibilities that won't 

388
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:39,360
last for not much is going to go
swimming lean for her this 

389
00:19:39,360 --> 00:19:41,240
season. 
We have an interesting shot of 

390
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:44,640
her like beating on a door like 
she's been locked in or locked 

391
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:47,320
out of something, which I wonder
what that's about. 

392
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:51,480
The one theory I've heard that I
really like here is that her own

393
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:54,120
guards or Jace maybe makes more 
sense because Jace is the one 

394
00:19:54,120 --> 00:19:57,000
person that could get away with 
this authority wise since 

395
00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:01,200
Damon's not there is they go off
to the battle of the Gullet and 

396
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:03,840
she wants to go too. 
And they're like no, you can't 

397
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:05,080
go. 
You got to stay here because 

398
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:07,200
she's already wanted to go into 
battle before and they were 

399
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:09,840
like, no, don't do that. 
And so it makes sense that they 

400
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:12,320
would try to stop her again. 
And we know it's a room on 

401
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:15,760
Dragonstone and probably 
specifically her chambers 

402
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:17,640
because it's in previous 
seasons. 

403
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:22,600
As you can see here, we've seen 
the runes on the the walls the 

404
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:25,680
Valyrian ruins. 
Yeah, that's good. 

405
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:27,520
We it's, it's nice that we have 
these nice contexts. 

406
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:28,800
Glyphs. 
Yeah, glyphs I've misspelled. 

407
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:33,600
But regardless, yeah. 
So we and then we have the shot 

408
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:36,720
of Rainier crying, which, yeah, 
that's got to be post Gullet. 

409
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:40,320
That's got to be the loss of of 
Jace and Damon's voice over is 

410
00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:42,520
saying this is the moment you 
become queen where it's almost 

411
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:46,200
like, yeah, they're kind of 
selling it a little bit as the 

412
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:48,880
tragedy is what's going to make 
her become queen. 

413
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:51,400
But I'm pretty sure this voice 
over is right before they take 

414
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:53,080
King's Landing. 
They're just splicing the two 

415
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:55,360
together. 
This is that sounds like a pre. 

416
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:58,280
I mean, she's about to literally
become queen when she takes the 

417
00:20:58,280 --> 00:20:59,960
Iron Throne. 
That sounds a little more likely

418
00:20:59,960 --> 00:21:02,960
for this moment, but it's a it's
a good voice over to put I'll 

419
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:05,480
cross a montage. 
So that's probably what's going 

420
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:07,520
on there too. 
Now we have another shot of her 

421
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:09,400
with Damon. 
So they're actually together. 

422
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:11,280
So he does apparently, you know,
he comes back. 

423
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:13,560
That could that's obviously 
going to be part of the setup 

424
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:16,560
for them taking King's Landing 
but their hair very elaborate 

425
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:18,200
look at his hair. 
He's got an elaborate braid. 

426
00:21:18,360 --> 00:21:21,240
She does too. 
Ours is particularly elaborate 

427
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:26,120
this this is the vibe of 
mourning He's very serious. 

428
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:28,960
This is not like romance passion
vibe. 

429
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:35,640
It could be, but I, you know, 
the hair to me implies something

430
00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:36,320
bad. 
Maybe. 

431
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:38,560
But of course they could be 
getting dressed up to take the 

432
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:39,560
city. 
They're like, yeah, we want to 

433
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:41,080
look good to take King's land. 
I figured. 

434
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:43,840
He'd want his hair a little bit 
manageable for for flying 

435
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:44,640
around, right? 
Sure. 

436
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:45,600
Yeah. 
I mean, he usually has his 

437
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:46,840
helmet on. 
But you're right, it was, you 

438
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:49,760
know, it could be related. 
Absolutely could be related to 

439
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:51,360
that. 
So this could be yeah, this this

440
00:21:51,360 --> 00:21:55,000
absolutely could be her flying 
braid because this would keep 

441
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:57,520
the hair out of her face too. 
So that makes a lot of sense as 

442
00:21:57,520 --> 00:21:59,880
well. 
Anyway, both those things are 

443
00:21:59,880 --> 00:22:04,880
likely to happen, meaning the 
they get together before taking 

444
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:07,080
King's Landing, and we know 
King's Landing can happen. 

445
00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:09,880
What we don't know for sure is 
that they will be together 

446
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:12,960
shortly after Jace's death. 
In fact, I kind of doubt that 

447
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:15,600
because he's still busy in the 
Riverlands and there's a ton of 

448
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:20,920
shots of him in battle and in 
other battles and stuff like 

449
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:23,280
that. 
So yeah, I don't know how much 

450
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:25,960
they, they can't push the going 
back and forth thing too much. 

451
00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:30,120
We are looking forward to going 
through the season with you all 

452
00:22:30,120 --> 00:22:32,120

We're not sure what the start 

453
00:22:32,120 --> 00:22:35,360
date is, but you can certainly

00:22:57,680 --> 00:22:59,040
other ways to support history of
Westeros. 

463
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:01,720
You can find the link, for 
example, to buy a Shaya's Knight

464
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:04,720
of the Seven Kingdoms tour shirt
or her Dance of the Dragon shirt

465
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:07,520
and a little more relevant for 
this show and a lot of other 

466
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:09,640
ways to help us like shopping 
through our Amazon links, 

467
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:12,440
etcetera. 
Just a quick note on the 

468
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:14,280
difference between the shows, 
you know, like we're, we're 

469
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:17,880
really seeing this, the 
difference between House of the 

470
00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:21,880
Dragon and Knight of the Seven 
Kingdoms under different light 

471
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:24,320
because what we've always done 
their different stories, the 

472
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:27,720
style is very different than 
even the type of setting, like 

473
00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:30,720
the of the book itself, a 
history book versus a novella. 

474
00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:35,800
And here it's really drawing 
those comparisons out and giving

475
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:37,080
us the opportunity to think 
about them. 

476
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:40,880
It's really easy to love Dunk 
and AG and Raymond and Lionel 

477
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:43,600
and Baylor. 
They're just less grey. 

478
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:45,720
It is a little more traditional 
in terms of heroes and villains.

479
00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:48,320
It's still got that George R 
Martin, you know, even the bad 

480
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:50,280
guys have some good. 
Even the good guys have some 

481
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:53,240
bad, etcetera. 
Nobody's perfect, but it is a 

482
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:54,520
little more traditional in that 
sense. 

483
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:57,040
This show is just a bigger 
challenge in that regard. 

484
00:23:57,120 --> 00:23:59,760
The material's less complete. 
They have less prose, it's less 

485
00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:02,440
episodic. 
It's way larger in terms of 

486
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:06,520
production and scope and casting
and and there are fewer 

487
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:08,800
characters that you just really,
really like. 

488
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:10,760
You may love the way they're 
acting. 

489
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:13,680
You may love the portrayal. 
You may love this guy, but it's,

490
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:16,000
you know, you get what I mean. 
Like the type of love we have 

491
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:18,840
for Duncan characters like that 
is not the same that we 

492
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:20,680
generally have for Rainier and 
Allison. 

493
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:22,800
It's a different type of 
interest. 

494
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:25,400
I think I may not be using the 
same words you would use, but I 

495
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:27,320
think you get where I'm going 
with this. 

496
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:33,120
That said, Season 3 does present
maybe the best opportunity for 

497
00:24:33,120 --> 00:24:35,480
characters for us to genuinely 
root for characters that we 

498
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:38,720
actually think are good people 
and, and rather than just people

499
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:41,640
who are interesting or movers 
and shakers, you know? 

500
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:43,920
And not all these are new 
characters, but ones who come 

501
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:46,600
more to the front. 
Like Bayla Ashaya mentioned 

502
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:48,680
Bayla Moondanz before. 
Whether or not that's her in the

503
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:50,360
scene, we'll get more of her 
this season. 

504
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:52,920
And she's pretty likable all the
way through the novel. 

505
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:54,840
I, I, I mean, all through the 
history books. 

506
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:56,320
And I presume that's going to 
stay the same here. 

507
00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:58,960
It has been so far. 
So that's someone to root for. 

508
00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:01,240
Adam Valarian is another one. 
This is Alan right here. 

509
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:03,240
We don't have a shot of Adam, so
we got to go with Alan. 

510
00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:06,760
Alan's pretty cool too, though. 
You know, we, we can respect the

511
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:08,720
difficulty he's had in his 
upbringing. 

512
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:10,360
Corliss hasn't been a good 
father to him. 

513
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:14,600
He's he's a pretty, he's easier 
to root for than most, I'd say, 

514
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:16,440
even though he's kind of gruff 
and humorless. 

515
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:19,440
He's got a good reason to be. 
We're going to have Black Alley 

516
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:20,920
Blackwood. 
We don't have a shot of her yet,

517
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:24,360
but that's a character that's 
been a fan favorite for a long 

518
00:25:24,360 --> 00:25:25,640
time. 
I don't think we're getting 

519
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:26,880
bloody Ben, unfortunately. 
I I. 

520
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:31,040
Black Alley is cast as the 
actress Annie Shapiro, and just 

521
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:34,360
a fun fact, she's friends with 
the actress who plays Tansel. 

522
00:25:34,360 --> 00:25:36,320
Too tall. 
That's cool. 

523
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:39,400
Constantly commenting on each 
other's posts. 

524
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:41,440
That's very cool. 
Small world, love it. 

525
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:44,600
Here is bail on moon dancer. 
I saw some people guessing, 

526
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:46,160
maybe I was just. 
Are we sure this is bail on moon

527
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:48,120
dancer? 
Couldn't that be Reyna and sheep

528
00:25:48,120 --> 00:25:50,000
stealer? 
Like no that is definitely not a

529
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:50,920
sheep stealer. 
Ain't no chance. 

530
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:54,840
That's David Bowie, moon dancer 
A. 100% Sheep Stealer we saw at 

531
00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:56,560
sheep show at the end of the 
season and sheep Steeler was 

532
00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:59,520
very, very distinct and not that
at all. 

533
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:04,040
So while it's possible sheep 
Stealer will be in this battle, 

534
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:06,400
I mean, we don't see the dragon,
the other dragon seeds and they 

535
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:07,400
are almost certainly in the 
battle. 

536
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:09,600
So there's just a lot that we 
haven't seen here yet. 

537
00:26:10,360 --> 00:26:12,440
So yeah, looking forward to 
Black Alley, looking forward to 

538
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:16,640
Adam, looking forward to Bayla. 
And yes, I also do enjoy the 

539
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:19,000
villains and characters that I 
don't root as much for, Let's be

540
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:21,000
clear. 
It's just I wanted to draw that 

541
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:23,160
distinction. 
I'm looking forward to Oscar 

542
00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:27,080
Tully, who I cosplay and who I 
made into the thumbnail for this

543
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:30,840
very episode, but also because 
seeing Oscar implies seeing all 

544
00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:33,720
of my other Riverlanders, 
including Black Alley. 

545
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:36,080
That's a good call. 
I forgot to mention Oscar is 

546
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:37,760
someone to root for. 
That's a genuinely good kid. 

547
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:40,440
Like he handled himself so well.
He was a he was a highlight of 

548
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:42,000
season 2 for sure. 
Here he is. 

549
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:43,080
Yeah. 
This is the one shot we get of 

550
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:45,920
him from the trailer. 
Extremely bloody Riverlands 

551
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:47,880
army. 
You can see a Blackwood shield. 

552
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:52,520
You can see a dairy banner. 
Damon is just, you know, 

553
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:55,560
disheveled but looking badass in
his armor. 

554
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:57,840
And you have a whole bunch of 
other dudes. 

555
00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:01,120
Oscar is very bloody, too. 
Both of those swords are just 

556
00:27:01,120 --> 00:27:04,280
like halfway blood up to the 
down the blade there. 

557
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:05,840
Yeah. 
It's just they've been through 

558
00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:07,960
some stuff here. 
And of course, we know the 

559
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:09,200
Riverlands campaign is like 
that. 

560
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:11,520
It's really nasty, really 
bloody. 

561
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:14,280
There's. 
We can be very sure that they 

562
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:16,840
are going to compact some of it.
There's just too many battles in

563
00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:18,040
the novel for them to do them 
all. 

564
00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:20,080
There's no way they can do all 
that. 

565
00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:21,480
I got to give them some leeway 
there. 

566
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:24,280
So in that sense, we don't know 
exactly how it's going to go 

567
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:27,680
other than it's devastating to 
both sides. 

568
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:31,600
Lots of people die. 
There's a shot of a really cool 

569
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:35,920
shot of some Valerian men 
looking in anxiety here. 

570
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:37,720
The world's move on to the the 
battle of the gullet. 

571
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:41,680
Actually, we saw the bail and 
moon dancer shot and and to to 

572
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:43,480
remind ourselves Moon Dancer 
isn't in that bat. 

573
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:45,680
That's why people were like, 
hey, maybe that chief stealer 

574
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:47,560
just trying to. 
We see a lot of that in the 

575
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:48,920
fandom. 
Don't fall victim to that. 

576
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:52,440
Don't make yourself think it has
to work like the book. 

577
00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:55,080
We've already seen too much 
evidence that it's not that it's

578
00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:57,200
going to be different from time 
to time with Light of the Seven 

579
00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:59,080
Kingdoms. 
That's a much safer assumption. 

580
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:01,280
But no matter what, we just have
to be open to the fact that 

581
00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:04,240
there's going to be changes. 
Yeah, so sheep Steelers might 

582
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:06,680
still be in the battle Moon 
answer definitely has been added

583
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:10,120
to the battle. 
So this shot of Corlise that 

584
00:28:10,120 --> 00:28:12,720
Ishaya has on here, this just 
got to be Jace's death. 

585
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:15,160
I just, you know, it just feels 
like it. 

586
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:18,240
He's just like, whoa, he's just 
he's just lost for words. 

587
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:20,600
Doesn't know how to. 
He knows it's terrible. 

588
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:22,360
Nothing he can do about it. 
Looks kind of helpless. 

589
00:28:22,360 --> 00:28:24,400
You know, he's not a man that's 
just going to start crying in 

590
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:27,960
the middle of the battle. 
But oof, that's bad. 

591
00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:31,680
That's his blood. 
You know, sort of yes, it is. 

592
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:35,640
And well, there's a shot that I 
mentioned a second ago. 

593
00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:37,520
We have well, this one. 
We'll look at this one. 

594
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:41,760
Jay sat, Jay's flying around. 
And this is a very telling 

595
00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:45,760
moment because in the full 
version of this, when there's 

596
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:49,320
actual movement, you can see 
Vermax get real close to the 

597
00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:51,560
water, his tails dragging in the
water. 

598
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:54,440
And as we know, or if you 
recall, or if you don't, I'll 

599
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:58,600
remind you, in the novel, we're 
told he flies a little too close

600
00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:00,760
to the to the sea. 
He gets a little too close. 

601
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:02,600
And that's when they're able to 
get him. 

602
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:06,200
And it's flying too close to the
other ships, flashed to the 

603
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:09,400
ocean, all that stuff. 
So, yeah, so this is this is 

604
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:10,560
ominous. 
We all know it's going to 

605
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:16,480
happen, but adding extra build 
up is just, well, that's what 

606
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:18,080
makes it entertaining. 
That's what makes it good. 

607
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:19,280
That's what makes you feel 
something. 

608
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:21,000
When you know something's coming
and you still feel it. 

609
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:22,400
Well, that means they did a good
job with it. 

610
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:24,360
Yeah. 
So here's this thing I started 

611
00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:26,760
to mention earlier that I got to
say a little confused on here by

612
00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:28,080
throwing different things out at
once. 

613
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:31,680
The shot of the Valerian men 
getting close to the rocks while

614
00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:33,480
their ship is just full of 
arrows. 

615
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:35,920
Just full of arrows. 
So clearly they've been in 

616
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:40,280
battle for a minute here, and 
you can see blood on the deck, I

617
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:43,360
think to the left and in full 
motion. 

618
00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:46,800
When this shot is in video. 
It's a there's a big lurch, 

619
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:50,520
which presumably is them 
suddenly steering away from the 

620
00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:54,080
rocks because, yeah, I, I you 
don't have to know much about 

621
00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:58,400
ship to know that they don't 
like to be near that at all. 

622
00:29:58,400 --> 00:29:59,600
But look at all those arrows, 
man. 

623
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:01,440
This is, is what a fight this is
going to be. 

624
00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:03,200
This is really going to be 
something. 

625
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:07,600
We do get Jayce yelling Drakaris
in the in the trailer as well. 

626
00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:11,360
We also have an interesting shot
that it's hard to figure how 

627
00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:16,760
it's related because we got 
Corliss looking sad or dejected 

628
00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:20,160
or whatever you interpret from 
his facial expression. 

629
00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:21,920
A minute ago. 
He had his helmet on, but we 

630
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:24,560
have this one where he suddenly 
whips his head around, doesn't 

631
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:28,160
have his helmet on anymore, and 
he looks very startled and look,

632
00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:30,640
he's looking straight up 
basically like is that doesn't 

633
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:33,120
it kind of have to be a dragon? 
But why would he be startled by 

634
00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:34,680
a dragon? 
Like what dragon is going to be 

635
00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:37,840
attacking him? 
He might be confused if Bayla's 

636
00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:39,560
not supposed to. 
I'm not attacking him. 

637
00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:41,360
He might just be. 
I mean, it might be a misdirect.

638
00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:44,480
Like he's like a sucking dragon 
and he doesn't realize Bayla and

639
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:46,120
Moon Dancer. 
Yeah, he may not know who it is.

640
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:47,880
Yeah, he might think it's an 
enemy until he realizes 

641
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:49,320
otherwise, but in that case, 
what? 

642
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:52,600
Yeah, maybe they come later. 
Like something like a projectile

643
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:54,520
coming at him. 
It doesn't have to be a dragon 

644
00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:56,440
like he's looking up and 
something can still be attacking

645
00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:58,920
him from a different angle. 
My other theory is, look at the 

646
00:30:58,920 --> 00:30:59,960
guy in the back right behind 
him. 

647
00:30:59,960 --> 00:31:01,200
That looks like a man of the 
Trierarchy. 

648
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:02,840
That does not look like one of 
his sailors, doesn't it? 

649
00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:04,920
Right. 
So this might be boarding 

650
00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:06,760
action. 
He might be on someone else's 

651
00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:09,040
ship or they might be on his. 
And if he's on someone else's 

652
00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:10,520
ship attacking it, then they'd 
be like. 

653
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:13,480
Oh, maybe that could be a guy 
jumping down from a higher level

654
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:15,320
at him, right? 
Maybe. 

655
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:20,920
I think that would be a really 
stupid thing to do because it's 

656
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:22,600
just a wooden deck. 
You know, you would hurt 

657
00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:24,520
yourself really badly. 
I don't think he would react so 

658
00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:27,440
horrifyingly like that either. 
But maybe maybe I'm like, we're 

659
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:29,120
just throwing ideas out here. 
We'll see what happens. 

660
00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:32,200
We also see good men falling off
the ship and going under the 

661
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:33,880
water. 
Yeah, we see a ramming action 

662
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:35,760
here, and that's definitely a 
Valerian sailor falling in. 

663
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:38,720
So this is a Triarchy ship 
ramming A Valerian ship and some

664
00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:41,440
hapless well they'd say he was 
ironborn. 

665
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:43,440
He went into the water where In 
full armor. 

666
00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:46,200
But then we also see this shot 
of them on the beach. 

667
00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:48,720
On the beach it looks like 
Triarchy men are being chased 

668
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:51,640
inland, which is they might be 
trying to escape and they get 

669
00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:54,000
caught between two armies here 
or something. 

670
00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:59,680
This might relate to the burning
of hull and high tide that we 

671
00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:02,080
know happens in the novel that 
happens during this battle, that

672
00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:04,560
some of the Gullet, some of the 
Triarchy ships land there and do

673
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:07,520
serious devastation to the drift
mark Lance. 

674
00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:09,960
So yeah, I guess I think this is
probably drift mark because I 

675
00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:11,960
don't know where else they land 
during this battle. 

676
00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:14,160
I don't know where else there 
would be sailors putting down. 

677
00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:17,280
But it's a bit confusing. 
There's like, you know, battle 

678
00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:18,880
going back and forth. 
It's hard to tell what people 

679
00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:21,640
are even doing there. 
So other possibilities exist. 

680
00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:25,480
Let's go back to the Riverlands.
We had that one shot of Oscar 

681
00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:27,880
and Damon all bloodied up, but 
there's a few more shots here. 

682
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:30,520
We have an interesting shot of 
Damon. 

683
00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:35,360
He's turning to look back as 
armored men kind of surge 

684
00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:37,480
forward, not necessarily 
running, but they're moving 

685
00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:38,840
forward. 
Is it maybe they're getting 

686
00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:42,080
ready to go on the March or I'm 
not sure, but they definitely 

687
00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:45,200
seem to be in the field. 
Damon is not in full battle gear

688
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:47,120
though, but these other men 
around him are armored. 

689
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:50,680
So I'm not really sure what's 
happening in that moment. 

690
00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:52,120
Anyway, let's move on to the 
map. 

691
00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:53,640
Let's move on to the map with 
the tokens on it. 

692
00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:57,800
This one I'm very curious about 
because I saw some people 

693
00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:01,240
claiming that this was aimed, 
but I really don't see how it 

694
00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:05,720
could be aimed because the 
gauntlet that slams a dragon 

695
00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:08,880
down, well, it's a gauntlet that
slams a dragon down. 

696
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:11,600
And Eamon doesn't wear armor. 
Hey, we haven't seen him wear 

697
00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:15,800
armor a single time. 
So when this dragon is dropped 

698
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:18,680
here, yeah, it's almost 
certainly Damon. 

699
00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:21,600
So he's describing some sort of 
Riverland strategy, what we 

700
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:25,880
think we have here. 
See that little triangular thing

701
00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:28,280
to the left there? 
I think that's some sort of to 

702
00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:34,080
represent like boats that are to
ship men across the Red Fork or 

703
00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:36,640
perhaps a different river, but 
probably the Red Fork because 

704
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:37,680
there is a battle of the Red 
Fork. 

705
00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:39,720
This is, you know, the border 
between the West and the 

706
00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:42,880
Riverlands. 
So this could be Damon's 

707
00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:44,960
strategy for holding the 
Westerlands in check. 

708
00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:46,720
It could be related to something
else. 

709
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:49,680
But those little sort of 
Hershey's kisses with little 

710
00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:51,720
spikes on them, What I don't 
those are those supposed to be 

711
00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:54,080
like Light Infantry or those 
helmets with Spears. 

712
00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:57,920
I don't know what that is, but 
you can tell by all the things 

713
00:33:57,920 --> 00:34:01,000
massed to the left that there is
a a lot of army over there and 

714
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:02,640
it looks like there's lion heads
in the back. 

715
00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:04,920
So I do believe that's the army 
of the Westerlands that's being 

716
00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:08,719
represented here. 
Really spectacular shot of a 

717
00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:10,719
Vergar burning people in 
Harrenhal. 

718
00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:13,159
Speaking of things that will 
happen in the Riverlands, very 

719
00:34:13,159 --> 00:34:17,360
much looking forward to seeing 
some Vergar, but also just 

720
00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:19,320
really looking forward to aiming
to Alice Rivers. 

721
00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:22,199
There's no shots of Alice Rivers
in this trailer, at least none 

722
00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:25,000
that we caught, but obviously 
she's a big part of the season 

723
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:27,159
and her portrayal's been really 
fun so far. 

724
00:34:27,159 --> 00:34:29,560
I hope that continues. 
We have another shot. 

725
00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:32,000
We have that shot of Damon's 
face and helm. 

726
00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:37,360
It's probably part of the same 
voice over speech that he's 

727
00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:38,920
giving to her. 
He says you are the Queen of 

728
00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:40,480
Dragons. 
You have an absolute power 

729
00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:42,880
within your grasp. 
This all feels like getting 

730
00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:46,080
ready to take King's Landing. 
Just like, you know, talking her

731
00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:49,560
up, getting her, getting her 
ready for that, you know, battle

732
00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:51,679
speech type thing. 
Not sure, but that's what I feel

733
00:34:51,679 --> 00:34:55,120
like it is. 
We've got a variety of Damon in 

734
00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:56,480
battle shots. 
I don't know that we need to go 

735
00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:59,120
through all of them. 
There's just various shots of 

736
00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:00,400
him. 
That ache has been showing. 

737
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:03,440
Castle in the background, a shot
of him finishing somebody off, 

738
00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:05,880
stabbing downward. 
It looks like they may have 

739
00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:08,680
attacked a camp or something 
like that because there's a 

740
00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:12,920
bunch of fires around. 
There's no sign of Karaxis, but 

741
00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:16,040
there is Karaxis in other shots.
So he's using Karaxis in some 

742
00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:19,760
battles and not in others. 
This shot of Karaxis, wow, those

743
00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:22,240
jaws are wide. 
I mean, Dang, we knew we had a 

744
00:35:22,240 --> 00:35:25,680
long neck, but woo, long boy is 
also a wide mouth. 

745
00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:29,000
Dang, very, very cool shot. 
I like that Damon does not 

746
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:31,280
appear to be on his back in this
shot, but that doesn't really 

747
00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:32,400
mean much. 
Oh, he is. 

748
00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:33,600
Oh, he's just behind the horn, 
isn't he? 

749
00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:35,760
Just the, the angle is funny, 
isn't it? 

750
00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:38,960
Cool. 
So anyway, that'll be fun to see

751
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:41,120
Damon and Craxy's in the in the 
Riverlands. 

752
00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:43,080
Oh yeah, there he is. 
Very clearly there is Damon. 

753
00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:46,840
Yes, so let's see, let's move on
to the other part of the 

754
00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:48,000
Riverlands. 
Kristen Cole. 

755
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:50,640
We have less shots of this, but 
one that's really cool. 

756
00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:53,560
We have him him out of armor 
with a dirty, concerned face, 

757
00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:57,560
kneeling down, and then when it 
cuts back, it reveals this huge 

758
00:35:57,560 --> 00:36:02,480
Vegar footprint. 
That's interesting because we 

759
00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:08,160
know in the book that Cole and 
Amon don't work together even 

760
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:12,480
though they should. 
And so this is kind of like Cole

761
00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:17,440
realizing that Big R has been 
here or yeah, I'm not really 

762
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:19,520
sure, but it's a really cool 
shot. 

763
00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:23,360
I mean, Dang, that foot is big. 
It's a, it's a Jurassic Park 

764
00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:26,600
vibes, isn't it? 
And then he's looking up, you 

765
00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:28,520
know, he's like, well, I guess 
this dragon was here recently. 

766
00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:30,560
He doesn't look like he's seeing
a dragon, but you know, he's 

767
00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:32,400
kind of like scanning the sky, 
maybe looking for one. 

768
00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:34,200
I don't know. 
There's also a shot of him 

769
00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:36,360
fighting and he looks like he's 
wearing the same clothing. 

770
00:36:36,680 --> 00:36:40,400
Kind of looks like they're 
misadventures throughout the 

771
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:41,680
Riverlands that won't go very 
well. 

772
00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:43,520
Yeah, here it is. 
He's this is his I just killed 

773
00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:47,160
someone face like the guys on 
his slitting his neck or 

774
00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:49,720
something like that. 
So it looks like he's really 

775
00:36:49,720 --> 00:36:53,960
grimy and beat up, which is 
fitting because it's supposed to

776
00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:56,920
just get worse and worse for his
army until the end. 

777
00:36:56,920 --> 00:37:00,800
So that seems to be fitting. 
Asia mentioned the Northmen. 

778
00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:03,040
Let's talk about that briefly. 
We've got a host of charging 

779
00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:04,440
Northmen. 
It's pretty cool. 

780
00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:09,040
It's only like a 2 second shot 
or even less, but it looks 

781
00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:13,200
really cool. 
You got some Stark banners, you 

782
00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:16,160
got some maybe other banners, 
but we weren't able to make out 

783
00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:19,880
in the other ones. 
It's just possible there's 

784
00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:22,800
Manderly in there. 
But the Winter Wolves, you would

785
00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:25,040
maybe not expect to have any 
Manderlys amongst the Winter 

786
00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:28,320
Wolves, certainly amongst the 
the people that come to support 

787
00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:30,560
Rainier because we definitely 
have Torin Manderly. 

788
00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:32,480
I don't think we're getting 
Medric Manderly, but we are 

789
00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:36,000
getting Torin, and so that means
they'll be showing up to to help

790
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:39,440
Rainier in King's Landing in 
that Northman shot, there seem 

791
00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:41,960
to be storming. 
They seem to have a ladder, like

792
00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:45,720
a scaling ladder, which to me 
that means they're storming a 

793
00:37:45,720 --> 00:37:50,920
castle, but I don't know of any 
castles that the winter wolves 

794
00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:54,200
storm. 
It could just be a hold fast or 

795
00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:55,840
I could be misinterpreting what 
I'm seeing there. 

796
00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:57,560
So over to the right leg, see 
there in the middle there. 

797
00:37:57,560 --> 00:37:59,000
It really does look like a 
ladder, doesn't it? 

798
00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:02,240
But it might not be. 
It might not be. 

799
00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:05,680
Anyway, either way, we know 
there's going to be battles with

800
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:07,840
the Winter Wolves, and that's 
going to be exciting because of 

801
00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:12,040
just how savage they are. 
And we haven't necessarily seen 

802
00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:15,960
any things like that, like a 
really heavily armored bunch of 

803
00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:19,120
old guys that are actually 
trying to die. 

804
00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:21,880
So that should be that should be
pretty fun. 

805
00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:25,240
One of my probably my most maybe
my most favorite, but the shot 

806
00:38:25,240 --> 00:38:28,240
that I think is the most 
artistic of the entire trailer 

807
00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:33,680
is this shot of an armored man 
who kind of has the same armor 

808
00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:37,120
silhouette as the guards in the 
throne room, but without the 

809
00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:39,640
Cape. 
So he's might he he isn't 

810
00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:41,480
necessarily the same. 
He's somebody. 

811
00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:44,600
And it's just so cool. 
He is his fire and blood in 

812
00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:46,480
action. 
This guy's swinging his sword 

813
00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:48,960
down, probably killing somebody.
He's probably the killing blow. 

814
00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:53,520
And there's just all this fire 
behind him that really almost 

815
00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:56,640
has to be dragon fire. 
This also really looks like 

816
00:38:56,640 --> 00:38:58,200
King's Landing. 
Ashay and I have been to 

817
00:38:58,200 --> 00:39:00,280
Casseras. 
That's where the majority of the

818
00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:02,120
King's Landing scenes are 
filled, at least in the streets.

819
00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:04,800
And it really looks like that. 
In House with the Dragon. 

820
00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:07,280
In House the Dragon, not in not 
in the original show, that's 

821
00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:07,760
true. 
So. 

822
00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:11,000
It was in Game of Thrones. 
For other other scenes, visit 

823
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:12,680
Casseras. 
It's beautiful and you really 

824
00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:15,320
will feel transported. 
Yeah, it it's Split. 

825
00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:18,800
It's split time with like, what 
was that place in Croatia? 

826
00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:20,080
Dubrovnik, Yeah. 
Yeah. 

827
00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:22,200
Dubrovnik, but for House of the 
Dragon it's pretty much all 

828
00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:25,840
Casseras, so they might just 
kick up the violence a little 

829
00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:27,520
bit here. 
I say that because there's no 

830
00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:31,120
actual burning of King's Landing
during Rainier and Damon's 

831
00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:33,120
taking of it, but they could 
easily just kick up the balance 

832
00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:36,080
a little bit. 
There is rioting, so you know 

833
00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:37,680
this might be related to the 
rioting. 

834
00:39:38,440 --> 00:39:41,560
Gwain Hightower dies during the 
taking of King's Landing in the 

835
00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:45,440
book when the Gold Cloaks turn 
on the greens. 

836
00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:49,880
But Gwain Hightower is off with 
Christian Cole, which doesn't 

837
00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:52,960
actually suggest he's going to 
survive, because Kristen Cole's 

838
00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:55,200
probably going to die out there 
after the Butcher's Ball, and 

839
00:39:55,600 --> 00:39:57,560
quite possibly Gwaine Hightower 
will die with him. 

840
00:39:57,760 --> 00:40:00,840
We can always hope that Gwaine 
is taken hostage instead. 

841
00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:04,280
He's very valuable as a hostage.
Potentially, but I don't know if

842
00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:06,480
they would just make that 
changes for the heck of it. 

843
00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:08,320
Sorry Gwaine, you're probably 
dying too. 

844
00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:10,360
Let's talk about the Reach. 
It's pretty much the last 

845
00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:12,400
location we have. 
We got most of the action in the

846
00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:15,760
Reach, at least early on. 
It stands to be in the far 

847
00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:18,400
South. 
As they March towards the 

848
00:40:18,400 --> 00:40:20,320
action, we get a really cool 
shot. 

849
00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:23,240
Tassarian, We got a Hightower 
man. 

850
00:40:23,360 --> 00:40:24,960
We got tents. 
The tents kind of matched 

851
00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:26,120
Tassarian. 
That's kind of cool. 

852
00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:27,760
I guess those are more greenish,
but they look kind of blue. 

853
00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:30,800
And there's a dragon keeper, 
which is a great detail. 

854
00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:32,720
I love that. 
Like, yeah, Darren couldn't 

855
00:40:32,720 --> 00:40:34,480
handle his dragon all by 
himself, especially as a 

856
00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:35,920
teenager. 
Yeah, He needs a little help. 

857
00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:38,240
Right. 
Sarian's in kind of like an open

858
00:40:38,240 --> 00:40:38,920
cage. 
Yeah, this. 

859
00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:43,000
Is a little closure. 
I think as well because I mean 

860
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:46,840
Tasarian sleeps next to Deron's 
tent, so maybe Deron's tent is 

861
00:40:46,840 --> 00:40:49,000
just next to this cage. 
They can't, they can't have her 

862
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:53,360
like accidentally squashing the 
tent with a, with a, you know, 

863
00:40:53,360 --> 00:40:56,320
an errant wing or something like
that. 

864
00:40:57,120 --> 00:40:57,960
But she looks great. 
Yeah. 

865
00:40:57,960 --> 00:41:01,080
She looks like the kind of the 
same model of like the original 

866
00:41:01,080 --> 00:41:03,560
Dragons from Game of Thrones. 
She looks like Danny's Dragons. 

867
00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:05,840
She looks like, I guess kind of 
like kind of like Drogon. 

868
00:41:05,840 --> 00:41:08,560
I think probably the similar 
model as we know, not all the 

869
00:41:08,560 --> 00:41:11,000
Dragons look like that. 
So maybe I'm wrong, I'm not the 

870
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:13,280
best with these dragon designs, 
but that's what it reminds me 

871
00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:15,200
of. 
So this is probably pretty far 

872
00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:16,440
in the South. 
Still, they're getting ready to 

873
00:41:16,440 --> 00:41:17,280
March. 
An interesting thing that 

874
00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:21,080
happens here is a a rider runs 
off really quickly, which could 

875
00:41:21,080 --> 00:41:24,840
mean that they're sending a 
message or getting ready to go 

876
00:41:24,840 --> 00:41:26,280
into action. 
Not exactly sure. 

877
00:41:26,520 --> 00:41:29,600
Now here's a great shot. 
This is Lord Ormond Hightower. 

878
00:41:29,600 --> 00:41:32,480
Very cool Hightower armor with 
the like. 

879
00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:36,120
It looks kind of like one of 
those old school like religious 

880
00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:39,720
reliefs where you got people 
standing in their on their 

881
00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:42,440
altars or their in their 
different panels at the 

882
00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:44,240
Hightower in the center. 
And I don't know who those 

883
00:41:44,240 --> 00:41:47,280
figures are on either side, but 
there might be like some of the 

884
00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:49,680
seven or something like that. 
Maybe they Rep or maybe they 

885
00:41:49,680 --> 00:41:51,960
represent the Citadel and Old 
Town or I don't know. 

886
00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:54,960
It's very cool though. 
It's very, very high tower. 

887
00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:58,240
It needs to be, needs to look 
really rich and fancy and it 

888
00:41:58,240 --> 00:42:00,680
does, but it's also artistic. 
So that's that's even better. 

889
00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:03,040
So that's a big ol army he has, 
isn't it? 

890
00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:07,160
You can't see Tasarean in this 
shot, but Hightower host is huge

891
00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:10,760
heading towards Tumbleton. 
That might be I assume we get 

892
00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:13,440
Tumbleton this season, but maybe
not. 

893
00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:15,640
It's hard to say. 
Probably first Tumbleton this 

894
00:42:15,640 --> 00:42:18,200
season, maybe second Tumbleton 
next season, maybe only one 

895
00:42:18,200 --> 00:42:20,080
Tumbleton, maybe they compact 
that into that. 

896
00:42:20,080 --> 00:42:22,040
But the 2 battles are so 
different, the participants are 

897
00:42:22,040 --> 00:42:23,560
so different. 
So I hope, hopefully we still 

898
00:42:23,560 --> 00:42:26,080
get both. 
Yeah, like I said at the 

899
00:42:26,080 --> 00:42:28,400
beginning, the trailer was 
mostly battle shots. 

900
00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:31,600
You got armies, you got Dragons,
you got the main participants. 

901
00:42:31,600 --> 00:42:34,600
So it's, it's harder than usual 
I think to glean things from 

902
00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:36,280
this than a lot of other 
trailers we get. 

903
00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:38,520
But this is not a trailer, it's 
a teaser. 

904
00:42:38,520 --> 00:42:42,000
That's kind of the point. 
We'll get more detailed shots 

905
00:42:42,200 --> 00:42:45,600
when we get a Fuller drop, an 
actual trailer instead of a 

906
00:42:45,600 --> 00:42:47,440
teaser. 
So that will probably be, you 

907
00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:49,760
know, in a few months or 
something like that, and we will

908
00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:51,400
be all over it when it happens. 
Y'all? 

909
00:42:52,080 --> 00:42:53,640
Any last takes, Ashaya? 
Anything you want to say about 

910
00:42:53,640 --> 00:42:56,240
this poster here? 
Yeah, not about the poster, 

911
00:42:56,240 --> 00:42:57,840
although I think the poster's 
pretty cool. 

912
00:42:57,840 --> 00:43:00,720
Has kind of an A lot of their 
promo art has this kind of 

913
00:43:00,720 --> 00:43:02,760
uncanny quality to it. 
She's just surrounded. 

914
00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:04,480
It looks like very she's in 
danger. 

915
00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:06,800
But yeah, they're clearly 
showing that she will take the 

916
00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:08,000
Iron Throne. 
Yeah, that's the throne. 

917
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:09,880
Yeah, you know, clearly in the 
poster. 

918
00:43:10,080 --> 00:43:12,960
But the thing I wanted to point 
out was that they did a little 

919
00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:15,960
short on the Game of Thrones, 
Thrones TikTok, YouTube, 

920
00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:19,280
Instagram, wherever you engage 
with the social media where they

921
00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:23,680
had Dexter Solancell and Peter 
Claffey watch the teaser for 

922
00:43:23,680 --> 00:43:25,600
House of the Dragon. 
And they gave the disclaimer 

923
00:43:25,600 --> 00:43:28,080
Dexter has not watched Game of 
Thrones or House of the Dragon 

924
00:43:28,520 --> 00:43:30,520
because he's 11. 
Yeah, but they watch it. 

925
00:43:30,520 --> 00:43:33,360
It's cute. 
Dexter calls Raniera his his 

926
00:43:33,360 --> 00:43:35,920
granddaughter and quickly 
corrects himself to grandmother.

927
00:43:35,920 --> 00:43:38,240
Yeah, grandmother, but yeah. 
Yeah, just a cute little thing, 

928
00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:39,720
so check. 
That out you want to see. 

929
00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:42,760
Fusion of the two shows. 
That's hilarious. 

930
00:43:42,760 --> 00:43:44,360
Yeah. 
I love, I love the the idea that

931
00:43:44,360 --> 00:43:46,600
they can interact like that, 
that the ACT, the cast, that 

932
00:43:46,600 --> 00:43:49,520
gives them a great opportunity 
for fun things like that on 

933
00:43:49,520 --> 00:43:51,360
social media. 
Having two shows and maybe even 

934
00:43:51,360 --> 00:43:54,600
more shows later that they can 
do fun crossover social media, 

935
00:43:54,600 --> 00:43:55,480
things like that. 
Great. 

936
00:43:55,480 --> 00:43:58,360
That's really fun. 
I'm so excited for this show. 

937
00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:00,160
I think this will be a great 
season. 

938
00:44:00,160 --> 00:44:02,360
I think the source material is a
lot stronger than season 2. 

939
00:44:02,360 --> 00:44:05,760
I didn't dislike season 2, but I
still have the opinion that I 

940
00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:09,200
think season 3 is set to be 
stronger for that reason. 

941
00:44:09,200 --> 00:44:10,880
Makes for better TV. 
Yes. 

942
00:44:10,880 --> 00:44:13,480
Makes for better TV. 
Yeah, both for a lot of reasons.

943
00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:15,440
Not just that, But yeah, as I 
Shaya said, that's the good way.

944
00:44:15,440 --> 00:44:18,160
Good, succinct way to put it. 
And I just feel really lucky 

945
00:44:18,160 --> 00:44:20,760
that we have two Game of Thrones
TV shows on in the same year. 

946
00:44:20,760 --> 00:44:25,080
I mean, yeah, like, wow. 
Not just two Game of Thrones TV 

947
00:44:25,080 --> 00:44:29,480
shows on in the same year, also 
on A Song of Ice and Fire play 

948
00:44:29,640 --> 00:44:34,000
premiering over in the UK at 
Stratford upon Avon this summer.

949
00:44:34,160 --> 00:44:37,440
So potentially at the same time 
as House of the Dragon, we are 

950
00:44:37,440 --> 00:44:41,480
also going to get the Game of 
Thrones, the Mad King play. 

951
00:44:41,520 --> 00:44:44,320
It was renamed by those of you 
who knew as the Iron Throne. 

952
00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:46,120
They renamed it there. 
Was never going to be the Iron 

953
00:44:46,120 --> 00:44:48,360
Throne then. 
Yeah, yeah, we're emphasizing 

954
00:44:48,360 --> 00:44:51,440
the Shakespearean tragedy. 
So The Mad King is kind of a 

955
00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:54,080
perfect title for that, I 
suppose. 

956
00:44:54,080 --> 00:44:56,280
Can you believe one of the 
screenwriter or one of the 

957
00:44:56,280 --> 00:45:00,320
playwrights is Duncan McMillan? 
Like how on the nose can you be 

958
00:45:00,320 --> 00:45:02,920
as a Shakespeare playwright to 
be named Duncan McMillan? 

959
00:45:02,920 --> 00:45:04,440
Like you may as well be Duncan 
Macbeth. 

960
00:45:05,960 --> 00:45:07,480
Yeah. 
So I, I feel really lucky. 

961
00:45:07,480 --> 00:45:09,840
I hope you all have that 
positive feeling about this. 

962
00:45:09,840 --> 00:45:12,120
I'll just like, take a moment to
think about how lucky we are to 

963
00:45:12,120 --> 00:45:15,960
have so much from our favorite 
or if it's not your favorite, 

964
00:45:15,960 --> 00:45:17,840
one of your favorites. 
Certainly our favorite. 

965
00:45:18,120 --> 00:45:21,520
And yeah, just take a moment to 
reflect on that and how how 

966
00:45:21,520 --> 00:45:24,240
special it is and get hyped 
because, you know, we've got a 

967
00:45:24,240 --> 00:45:25,840
few months still, but it's going
to be great. 

968
00:45:25,840 --> 00:45:28,440
And the future is bright. 
And it's not just because of 

969
00:45:28,440 --> 00:45:30,640
dragon fire, but partly because 
of dragon fire. 

970
00:45:31,320 --> 00:45:35,120
We'll see you all for our final 
review of Night of the Seven 

971
00:45:35,120 --> 00:45:37,280
Kingdoms and our postseason 
coverage, then a bunch of book 

972
00:45:37,280 --> 00:45:40,080
coverage, and then we'll dive 
into House the Dragon season 

973
00:45:40,080 --> 00:45:41,560
when it arrives. 
Can't wait for that. 

974
00:45:42,040 --> 00:45:44,800
And we'll be doing it all 
alongside you, all behalf of a 

975
00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:45,880
share. 
You know what to do. 

976
00:45:45,880 --> 00:45:50,720
Until then, get yourself ready. 
Reread it, Valar. 

977
00:45:50,800 --> 00:45:53,000
Reread it. 
Byron Blood, that is.
