1
00:01:36,860 --> 00:01:42,620
The light at the end of the 
tunnel may be an oncoming dragon

2
00:01:43,060 --> 00:01:45,980
or a house full of them. 
Even though this trailer is 

3
00:01:45,980 --> 00:01:50,100
dominated by Vergar and human 
Dragons, of course, I mean 

4
00:01:50,100 --> 00:01:53,660
Targaryens, and they're, you 
know, offshoots. 

5
00:01:53,780 --> 00:01:55,380
Do we know there's lots more 
than that? 

6
00:01:55,620 --> 00:01:57,500
This is the second teaser so far
we have. 

7
00:01:57,500 --> 00:01:59,020
You have to have a full trailer 
yet. 

8
00:01:59,220 --> 00:02:02,880
And yes, I know the distinction 
between the two is not distinct 

9
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:04,520
necessarily. 
We just go by what they're 

10
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:07,600
calling it and they're calling 
it a teaser, so we will too. 

11
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,560
There was a particularly major 
surprise in this teaser and 

12
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:14,280
another one that's maybe less of
a surprise, but still pretty 

13
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,320
surprising. 
The kind that show only folks 

14
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:19,600
wouldn't notice even if they did
a frame by frame breakdown. 

15
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,920
They wouldn't realize that this 
was a change from the books or 

16
00:02:22,920 --> 00:02:26,080
something that we thought was 
changed now maybe is unchanged. 

17
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:28,160
Anyway, it's pretty cool. 
We'll talk about that. 

18
00:02:28,640 --> 00:02:32,440
We've also got Valyrian Steel, 
Winter's Wolves, Kristen Cole 

19
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:35,960
remaining Shakespearean, and the
reason we called this one an 

20
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:39,320
angry teaser. 
Well, because lots of people are

21
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:41,680
yelling. 
All that and more on this 

22
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,720
episode of History of Westeros 
Podcast. 

23
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,160
Hello and welcome back 
everybody. 

24
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:52,440
It's our second teaser review 
for House of the Dragon Season 

25
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:55,000
3. 
As I said, the season that we 

26
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:59,040
now know will begin on June 21st
and we will be doing our usual, 

27
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:04,680
which is live streams at 6:00 on
Mondays and preview streams. 

28
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:08,000
We'll have a preview stream the 
week before, so our first 

29
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:11,240
episode will be June 15th, 
besides trailer coverage, which 

30
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:12,880
we'll have whenever that comes 
out. 

31
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:15,600
But our first official known 
scheduled episode is June 15th 

32
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:18,280
for a preview episode. 
Then we'll have our episode 1 

33
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:22,640
coverage on Monday, June 22nd, 
and we'll be having preview 

34
00:03:22,640 --> 00:03:25,000
streams of each episode on 
Fridays. 

35
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:26,760
In the past, we've done this on 
Saturdays, but we're going to do

36
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:30,960
them on Fridays this year. 
So that'll be fun and let's get 

37
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:33,040
to it. 
If you have questions for us or 

38
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:36,320
things that you thought we 
missed in this trailer, teaser, 

39
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:39,920
etcetera, whatever you want to 
call it, hit us up here in the 

40
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:43,440
chat or at 
westeroshistory@gmail.com on 

41
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:45,680
Patreon. 
Wherever you interact with us. 

42
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:47,960
We would love to hear your 
takes. 

43
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:52,560
Now the big surprise, we'll talk
about it more in full later, but

44
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:57,000
it seems to be that Helena is 
having a baby this season, which

45
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:00,840
is probably means they didn't 
cut Maillor and the Maillor plot

46
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:02,880
line after all. 
They just kind of delayed the 

47
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:06,120
start of it. 
But the twist here, not 

48
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,640
something that really comes up 
in the book, maybe something 

49
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:11,920
only vaguely inferred by fans 
reading between the lines, but 

50
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,080
it probably isn't meant to be a 
book thing. 

51
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:17,640
Definitely seems to be here. 
Who is the father of this baby? 

52
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:19,720
And we have a poll there. 
You can choose whether you think

53
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:23,480
the father is Aegon or Amon. 
Obviously, if it was Aegon, it 

54
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:27,160
happened before he fled, but 
that's certainly believable and 

55
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:29,760
aim and after the fact, well, 
that's believable too. 

56
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:33,680
So of course that also implies a
time jump, but we'll be 

57
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:35,360
discussing that during the 
episode as well. 

58
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:37,160
Now, of course, there are 
spoilers in this one and I've 

59
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:40,160
just given one there, but you 
know, you should know that by 

60
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:41,800
now. 
History Westeros podcast, we 

61
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,920
deal with the deep dives, so 
it's hard for us to stay away 

62
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:46,240
from spoilers. 
We're not even going to try. 

63
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:48,280
Let's get to it. 
We're going frame by frame 

64
00:04:48,280 --> 00:04:51,120
through this trailer teaser. 
I can't I can't even keep the 

65
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:53,560
name straight myself. 
We start off with Dragonstone. 

66
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:59,240
We have Cyrax Rainier aboard, 
flying away. 

67
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:02,600
Dark music playing dark music 
throughout this whole trailer. 

68
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,840
Sinister whispers, haunting 
horns. 

69
00:05:05,840 --> 00:05:09,360
Kind of. 
Yeah, just it's dark, y'all. 

70
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:12,760
I believe this is probably her 
leaving to take King's Landing. 

71
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:16,880
It could be something else, but 
that would fit really well. 

72
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:20,440
The shot pans back to see like 
The Cave she emerges from, which

73
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:22,080
is pretty cool. 
Like her launching spot. 

74
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:24,640
I can't think of anything from 
the book that would have her 

75
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:27,240
leaving other than that. 
But of course, sticking to the 

76
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:31,320
book explicitly is not the way 
to predict everything that's 

77
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:34,280
going to happen in the show. 
This is happening with a voice 

78
00:05:34,280 --> 00:05:38,720
over from Damon who is saying 
you now have a power no man has 

79
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:41,160
ever wielded. 
You will have an empire 

80
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:44,160
unassailable Rainera and our 
children will rule it forever 

81
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:46,080
and a day. 
So the wording there is 

82
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:47,800
interesting. 
We got to play semantical 

83
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:50,880
wizardry here and and figure out
some things. 

84
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,800
I think it's very likely that 
there's lines missing and it's 

85
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:57,200
possible there's lines spliced 
together because they do that. 

86
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:01,680
We've been doing this too long 
to not be aware of that 

87
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:03,840
possibility with the way trailer
lines are used. 

88
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:07,200
So I think this is after the 
taking of King's Landing because

89
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:11,680
he says you now have the power 
no man has ever wielded, right? 

90
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:13,800
Although on the other hand, he 
might just be referring to the 

91
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:18,680
amount of dragon she has at her 
command, which maybe wasn't true

92
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:21,880
under Jeharis cause the a lot of
their kids just didn't have 

93
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:25,520
Dragons or didn't ever get to 
that stage, died young or what 

94
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:27,560
have you. 
So all at once, yeah, I'm not 

95
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:28,760
sure. 
Maybe that might be what he's 

96
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:31,200
saying and maybe he's 
exaggerating a little bit. 

97
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:34,320
Our point isn't whether he's 
telling the truth so much as 

98
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:36,080
we're trying to figure out when 
the statement happens. 

99
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:39,520
He says you will have an empire 
unassailable, so that fits too. 

100
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,520
They've taken King's Landing, 
but the war isn't over yet. 

101
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:45,320
They still have to clean up and 
win and etcetera. 

102
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:47,360
And our children will rule it 
forever. 

103
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:48,720
Today. 
I wouldn't read too much into 

104
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:50,960
that. 
I wouldn't read because I know 

105
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:52,920
if you're looking ahead, you 
would think, oh, our children. 

106
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:56,480
Does that mean Jace and Joffrey 
are both dead already? 

107
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:58,840
Because for our children to 
rule, it would have to be 

108
00:06:58,840 --> 00:07:00,960
already. 
Aegon would have to be in the 

109
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,520
line of succession. 
But I think that's just a turn 

110
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:04,680
of phrase. 
I think he's just saying our 

111
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:06,480
children. 
It's it's he's helping raise 

112
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:08,600
those kids for sure. 
Jace is going to die. 

113
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:11,240
And in fact, Jace is very likely
already dead by this moment. 

114
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:13,800
In fact, that might be part of 
part of why this conversation is

115
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:15,560
happening. 
He's convincing her he's kind of

116
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:18,560
pumping her back up, getting her
back on her feet, getting her to

117
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:20,880
pay back attention to the war 
rather than being grief. 

118
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:23,600
But that's not clear either. 
I. 

119
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:27,040
Kind of think that if it's after
Jace's death and Joffrey's the 

120
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:31,000
only one left, Damon, you know 
the the implication there to me 

121
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:36,240
is that he's seeing that it's 
gonna be his progeny, his child,

122
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:38,960
but by blood on the throne. 
Not Joffrey. 

123
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:41,520
Not Joffrey. 
I think in his head he he roots 

124
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:43,920
for that. 
I think Damon has such pride 

125
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:46,600
that he wants it to be his kid. 
I don't think that's what 

126
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:48,760
Rainier's meant to hear from it 
or anything. 

127
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:50,800
I think it's just kind of the 
implication to me. 

128
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:53,320
The implication, yes, that is 
OK. 

129
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:56,120
Yeah, I don't I don't think 
you're necessarily wrong there. 

130
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:57,280
I hadn't thought about it that 
way. 

131
00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:59,120
You might be right. 
Just he just uses that language,

132
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:01,960
loose language, and but it kind 
of masks what he's really 

133
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:04,840
expecting or hoping for. 
But there's no chance. 

134
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:06,880
Even with the way they changed 
the show around, there's almost 

135
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:09,440
no chance Joffrey is going to 
have been dead by this point. 

136
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:11,040
Certainly, certainly very 
unlikely. 

137
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,680
Either way, you can see what 
Haishay has on the screen right 

138
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:14,960
now. 
This is when the conversation is

139
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:17,240
taking place. 
It is a voice over at parts, but

140
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:19,120
this is the moment where we're 
actually seeing it. 

141
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:21,680
It looks, Does that look like 
King's Landing or Dragonstone to

142
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:22,640
you? 
It really is hard to tell. 

143
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:26,760
I think that is Dragonstone. 
I kind of think so too, but. 

144
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:29,520
I don't think it's interior. 
I mean, it's outside. 

145
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:31,920
Yeah, definitely it's. 
Two things spliced together, 

146
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:35,200
edited together. 
You know, to make you think of 

147
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:36,200
Jayce. 
Right. 

148
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:38,240
Oh, yes, that's for sure. 
Yeah. 

149
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:39,760
I wasn't referring to the Jayce 
part yet. 

150
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:41,320
You're absolutely right. 
Because he says our children 

151
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:43,080
rule afterwards and then she 
looks at him and we know he's 

152
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:44,560
going to die. 
So yeah, that was that's a 

153
00:08:44,560 --> 00:08:47,520
pretty ironic cutting thing to 
put in the trailer there. 

154
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:49,760
But yeah, that's that's what 
thrown me off because that 

155
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:50,840
previous scene, I thought it 
would. 

156
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:52,400
It looks like Kink Dragonstone 
to me. 

157
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:55,440
But he says you now have a power
which that means. 

158
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:58,120
They could be on the ramparts 
outside of the red key. 

159
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:00,680
Yeah, it could be, yeah. 
We've seen a couple scenes there

160
00:09:00,680 --> 00:09:01,840
and this doesn't look like that,
though. 

161
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:06,560
That's not a red wall. 
Right now, so that is telling, 

162
00:09:06,560 --> 00:09:07,920
but like they'll. 
That's a good point. 

163
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,200
Yeah. 
You know, OK, so we'll I'll have

164
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:11,240
to find that out later. 
No much. 

165
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:14,840
Let's let's move on. 
But yeah, we now have the the 

166
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:16,680
next shot of Jace with his hand 
on his sword. 

167
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:19,080
There's not a lot of shots they 
can show us of Jace. 

168
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:22,440
I suppose it's kind of too bad, 
but you know how it is. 

169
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:24,720
We know how it is. 
So I I'm, I'm guessing this 

170
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:28,200
moment is when we're hearing 
news of of the battle, like Jace

171
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:29,800
is going to rush off and join 
the battle. 

172
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:31,400
And then we see that we see them
here. 

173
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:35,120
Like this isn't him joining the 
battle, but this they're in the 

174
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:37,160
battle at this point. 
This is them cheering. 

175
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:38,520
There's already arrows of 
already shot. 

176
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:40,920
There's already shot ships 
flaming in the distance. 

177
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:44,840
So we know that this this is 
flashing forward a little bit 

178
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:47,960
past that moment where Rainier 
is looking at Chase one of the 

179
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:49,400
last times she'll look at it, 
most likely. 

180
00:09:49,680 --> 00:09:53,280
Yeah, and this is this is a Moon
Dancer and Vermax together. 

181
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:55,760
Yeah, Then we have where's that 
shot of the veil? 

182
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:57,600
Did we pass that? 
Let's go back to the veil. 

183
00:09:57,680 --> 00:09:58,960
So this is cool to us. 
We. 

184
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,200
I was mistaken at first. 
I think that she has got it 

185
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:02,800
right. 
I first thought this was 

186
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:05,000
Dragonstone. 
We're just starting off talking 

187
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:06,760
about Dragonstone. 
This was spliced into the same 

188
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:09,440
moment with Rainier flying away.
So I thought it was just meant 

189
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:11,960
to show us the same thing. 
But a Shia is like, no, I think 

190
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:13,720
this is the veil. 
I'm looking at him like, you 

191
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:15,280
know what, you're right, that's 
definitely the veil. 

192
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:17,800
It certainly isn't Rainier that 
I wasn't fooled by the dragon. 

193
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:19,880
That's definitely not Cyrax. 
But I did think it was Moon 

194
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:21,440
Dancer. 
So I think I'm wrong about that 

195
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:23,360
because that's probably sheep 
stealer. 

196
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:26,960
Y'all pretty cool the way the 
little bits curl in the back 

197
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:30,280
there and it it is a little bit 
greenish shoe from the distance 

198
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:32,000
there, but that could be 
brownish green. 

199
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:33,240
I mean yeah that that 
absolutely. 

200
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:34,520
I think Ishaya is right. 
I think, I think when the 

201
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:37,920
Dragons fly the membrane of the 
wing also, you know. 

202
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:39,360
There's some sunlight going 
through it, yeah. 

203
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:43,160
But yeah, yeah, it looks like 
the same spines at the end of 

204
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:45,360
the wings that Sheep Stealer 
has. 

205
00:10:45,680 --> 00:10:49,360
Yeah. 
So going back to Corley's 

206
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:53,040
talking to Damon, this is when 
we get our next line. 

207
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:56,680
We're going all that he says, 
all that remains is for you to 

208
00:10:56,680 --> 00:10:59,000
decide what you want from this 
war. 

209
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:02,760
And that almost certainly is 
after the taking of King's Land 

210
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:04,200
2. 
Given where they're at the the 

211
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:08,400
scene is taking place outside, 
it looks like they're just kind 

212
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:10,840
of standing out there in front, 
like maybe at the docks or 

213
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:13,000
something. 
I think Damon is in his armor. 

214
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,560
He's got his battle braid. 
Yeah, he's got his battle braid 

215
00:11:15,560 --> 00:11:17,640
and I think it looks like the 
armor. 

216
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:22,360
And so my apologies to Steve for
the terrible screenshot of his 

217
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:24,320
eyes I took there. 
He looks, yeah, he looks a 

218
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:26,080
little drunk. 
But this, if this is actually 

219
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:29,240
the Battle of Gul, which it has 
to be, I think, right? 

220
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:30,840
Like there's almost no way 
because Battle of Gul, it's 

221
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:34,080
going to happen like right away.
So he's just seen some, some 

222
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:37,120
stuff, stuff that even he hadn't
seen before in his career. 

223
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:39,560
He's seen some stuff before. 
Because we, we remember from the

224
00:11:39,560 --> 00:11:42,240
book, he's, he has like a 
conversation behind closed doors

225
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:45,720
with, with his sons about what 
they saw, about how hard the 

226
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:47,760
battle was. 
And it's, it's kind of like left

227
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:49,680
for us to imagine what the 
conversation was. 

228
00:11:49,680 --> 00:11:51,720
But it's, it's the, it was 
bloody. 

229
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:53,640
I think that's the point is they
had to talk each other down 

230
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:56,120
after seeing all that. 
So, yeah, I think, yeah. 

231
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:57,440
What what do you want from this 
war? 

232
00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:58,960
He's saying, you know, you guys 
have won. 

233
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:01,760
He's he's they're kind of making
a mistake of thinking they won. 

234
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:03,960
You know, it kind of, that's 
kind of the gist of what I think

235
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:07,360
I'm seeing here and getting 
thinking that that it's nearly 

236
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:12,640
over, which of course it is not.
This next shot we have Rainier 

237
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:16,040
and Damon descending. 
It looks like this is all part 

238
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:18,400
of the same. 
They're this is we've seen these

239
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:20,280
stairs before. 
These are, I'm pretty sure the 

240
00:12:20,680 --> 00:12:23,840
same stairs or near the same 
stairs where the scene of 

241
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:26,480
Joffrey being born was played 
out with and maybe some other 

242
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:28,360
shots and the Red Keep. 
You still think this is Dragon 

243
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:29,760
stone? 
OK, so they're heading to battle

244
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:31,920
because he's in his armor. 
Yeah, they're about to fly out. 

245
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,360
That's a battle. 
I think that because. 

246
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:36,720
You're right that those other 
stairs were straight down, not 

247
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:38,360
they didn't turn. 
If you look at the walls there 

248
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:40,800
they look like the dragonstone 
kind of fuse like like. 

249
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:44,320
Fuse the fuse stone OK. 
To me to me, but it's dark. 

250
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:46,880
I I you could argue either way, 
but I'm leaning. 

251
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:48,560
Dragon, I think you're right, 
actually, because we have other 

252
00:12:48,560 --> 00:12:51,240
shots of her, like passing 
through that passageway, the 

253
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:53,480
tunnel that looks like she's 
entering the throne room, maybe.

254
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:55,360
And this would not be that in 
that case. 

255
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:55,880
OK. 
Yeah. 

256
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:58,560
And why would she be going down 
necessarily in her armor? 

257
00:12:58,560 --> 00:12:59,960
Yeah, she would have. 
She'd be going. 

258
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:02,360
She doesn't enter at the top 
floor when she takes the Red 

259
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:04,440
Keep. 
She enters. 

260
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:06,800
Yeah. 
I guess with a dragon you could.

261
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:08,440
She could, Yeah, she could. 
Yeah. 

262
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:10,280
Well, can they land up there? 
They probably can, I guess. 

263
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:12,360
And given they take off, I. 
Think they look very She at 

264
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:15,480
least looks very put together, 
not like she's flown about and 

265
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:17,680
she looks like she's about to 
head out and they're in. 

266
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:20,360
She's in her protective wear. 
Cool. 

267
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:23,000
OK. 
Either way, that is either right

268
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,560
before or right after the taking
as let's move on to Allison. 

269
00:13:25,560 --> 00:13:26,880
Here we got something 
interesting here. 

270
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:29,920
We got a hooded scene. 
We got maybe a street at night 

271
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:33,600
or out in the out on the road at
night, maybe outside of King's 

272
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:35,040
Landing. 
Allison's got some people with 

273
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:37,040
her. 
I think this is her escaping 

274
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:39,600
King's Landing. 
Now there's a scene later that 

275
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:41,640
changed my mind on when this is 
happening. 

276
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:44,760
Now in the book, she's captured 
it when when Rainier and Damon 

277
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:47,080
take King's Landing. 
So you'd think maybe this is her

278
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:50,480
escaping advance of that. 
But there's a scene later that 

279
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:53,920
makes me think this is her 
leaving well before that, that 

280
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:56,160
she's leaving because of her 
son. 

281
00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:58,840
She's leaving because of Amond. 
We'll get we'll come back to 

282
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:01,720
that in a minute. 
But in this scene, we're getting

283
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:06,280
a voice over of her clearly 
speaking to Amond because we 

284
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:09,280
actually see part of the 
dialogue as she's saying it. 

285
00:14:09,680 --> 00:14:12,920
It's not all voice over. 
The line is you will do things 

286
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:15,560
that your heart would have 
recoiled from before you came to

287
00:14:15,560 --> 00:14:17,480
the throne. 
Now this is being said over 

288
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:19,480
bloody footprints. 
At first I thought this was 

289
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:21,840
Harrenhal because it would be 
Amon, but then we looked closer.

290
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:24,200
Amon's skirt thing doesn't go 
down that far. 

291
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:27,480
His feet are would be bigger and
and have like armored boots 

292
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:30,200
because he's in full armor when 
he's walking around Harrenhal. 

293
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:32,520
So we're pretty sure this is 
Rainiera because Damon also 

294
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:35,080
doesn't have a long a skirt that
goes down that far. 

295
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:37,200
Like they wear armored skirts, 
but this one isn't even armored.

296
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:39,960
So pretty sure this is Rainiera 
entering the throne room or 

297
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:43,920
entering The Walking down the 
parapets after people have been 

298
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:45,960
killed. 
You know, defenders have been 

299
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:47,000
killed. 
So she's walking through the 

300
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:50,200
dead, the bodies of the dead 
defenders or perhaps into the 

301
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:54,600
throne room itself, where in the
first teaser we got shots of 

302
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:57,400
Damon killing the last few 
guards standing in front of the 

303
00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:01,120
throne, where we also have that 
in this trailer, this teaser. 

304
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:03,640
So I think that's what we're 
we're either seeing something 

305
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:05,680
along those lines. 
Yeah, it's great editing, too, 

306
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:07,760
to have what is. 
Yeah, you're right, probably 

307
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:11,880
Allison speaking to Eamon. 
But it's over shots of Rainier 

308
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:14,760
dealing with all of those things
in reality. 

309
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:17,600
Like, you even see it and it 
looks like she's speaking and 

310
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:20,400
saying that to Rainier here. 
But I do think it's a misdirect,

311
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:23,760
but it applies to Rainier. 1000%
well done. 

312
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:27,000
She will do things that her 
heart would have recoiled from 

313
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:29,080
before she came to the throne. 
Yeah, you're totally right. 

314
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:31,880
That is, that is very true. 
It's more true for Rainier than 

315
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:32,960
Amy was. 
Like, I don't know if I would 

316
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:36,520
have recoiled from that. 
You know, I might not have liked

317
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:38,200
it, but recoil, that's a strong 
word. 

318
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:45,040
So moving forward, we have this 
interesting shot of Rainier by a

319
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:48,840
fire, which is a motif of sorts.
We get a lot of shots of Rainier

320
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:51,320
in front of fires. 
However, I can't recall one with

321
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:53,720
a human skull in it before that 
she was looking into. 

322
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:55,280
I don't know what that's all 
about. 

323
00:15:55,440 --> 00:16:00,560
She has an interesting look on 
her face like she's kind of flat

324
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:04,400
emotionally like like something 
heavy has happened and she's not

325
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:07,600
responsive, you know, Which 
could be of course Jace. 

326
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:11,480
Now, whose skull it is though, 
that whether or not she's 

327
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,320
feeling this way because of 
Jace, who is that? 

328
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:15,760
You know, whose skull would that
be? 

329
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:17,320
I really don't have a good 
guess. 

330
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:19,840
So if y'all have a guess in the 
in the chat let us know. 

331
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:23,880
Some stodgy old man. 
I think it's either Iron Rod, 

332
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:27,160
Otto Hightower, if he comes 
back, maybe what's going to be 

333
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:29,480
Jason Lannister even I don't 
know, like. 

334
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:32,640
Jason would be Thailand, but he 
doesn't die for a long time in 

335
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:34,840
the book and Jason dies in in 
the field. 

336
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:36,720
Yeah, I'm saying like if they 
change it so that Jason is 

337
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:39,560
killed here, I'm just like, what
other council members, people of

338
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:41,920
note are in King's Landing for 
Rainier? 

339
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:45,360
Yeah, Iron Rod's the one for 
sure. 

340
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:49,720
That is like the most likely did
not have a different plot 

341
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:51,520
because we know Otto's already 
not in King's land. 

342
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:52,720
It's already a change from the 
book. 

343
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:54,320
So he's probably not. 
It's probably not going to 

344
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:55,400
change. 
He's probably not going to have 

345
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:58,560
disappeared just to end end up 
at King's Landing anyway and 

346
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:00,720
still get captured. 
But this may not have anything 

347
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:01,760
to do with the capture King's 
Landing. 

348
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:06,640
This could be some other scene, 
but given the shots were given 

349
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:09,800
in this scene in this trailer 
are overwhelmingly King's 

350
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:12,480
Landing and King of King's 
Landing related. 

351
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:14,200
I suspect it might be, but you 
never know. 

352
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:15,119
You never know. 
We can't be certain. 

353
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:17,160
Like, for example, that shadow 
sheep stealer has nothing to do 

354
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:18,720
with any of that. 
And there's a few others that 

355
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:21,160
are, you know, related to other 
subplots. 

356
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:24,400
So yeah, I'm very curious who 
that skull is. 

357
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:27,640
Maybe we'll find we'll we'll 
maybe some guesses that we 

358
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:32,160
haven't considered yet will 
cause us to jump on and be like,

359
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:34,480
Oh yeah, that's a good guess. 
Right now I do not have one. 

360
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:37,040
That's how she's giving the 
Targaryen rights to. 

361
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:40,160
To Jace, I would lie. 
I thought of her, but like his 

362
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:41,360
body. 
Like, I don't think they're 

363
00:17:41,360 --> 00:17:43,040
going to have his body. 
You know it doesn't find his 

364
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:43,880
body. 
Yeah. 

365
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:45,800
So that doesn't, Yeah, it's 
like, I don't know about that 

366
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:46,320
one either. 
Yeah. 

367
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:49,200
So next we have a Hightower 
host. 

368
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:53,640
This trailer has a lot of Lord 
Ormond in it, which is implying 

369
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:55,720
that he's going to have a lot of
screen time, which kind of 

370
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:57,760
implies he's going to have more 
screen time on the show than in 

371
00:17:57,760 --> 00:17:59,760
Fire and Blood. 
I'm not mad about that. 

372
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:00,920
That's cool. 
I mean this. 

373
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:03,680
Sure loves the high towers. 
They're like, let's get, give it

374
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:06,640
all to Gwain, give it all the to
Ormond. 

375
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:09,840
Yeah, Anyways, yeah. 
Not mad about that. 

376
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:14,280
Yeah, that seems all right. 
So I'm curious how this guy's 

377
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:16,040
going to be like. 
It seems like they gave him. 

378
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:17,520
There's another scene we're 
going to see later where he's 

379
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:19,960
getting very emotional. 
He obviously he has this, this 

380
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:24,240
very I'm a proper lordly Lord 
face on here and now behind him,

381
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:26,640
go back real quickly. 
Behind him over on the right 

382
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:29,840
shoulder, there's this there's a
helmetless man that is bold Jon 

383
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:33,720
Roxton that is played by Joplin 
Subtain who is Brasso in the 

384
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:35,600
Andor show, a Star Wars Andor 
show. 

385
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:39,280
So much different character for 
him here quite instead of a 

386
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:42,920
humble, you know, bricklayer who
stands up for his community. 

387
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:46,160
This is bold John Roxton who is 
kind of a real piece of work. 

388
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:51,200
Anyway, there's a a voice over 
here where someone is whispering

389
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:54,320
or saying in a low voice the 
Targaryens are a savage race. 

390
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:57,240
The trailer claims this is Lord 
Orman saying that. 

391
00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:00,480
I'm not so sure about that. 
It wouldn't be the first time 

392
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:04,840
that the trailer voice over 
subtitles had the wrong name. 

393
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:06,920
It's not like it happens a lot, 
but it's happened before. 

394
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:10,880
And he could say that. 
I mean, he's a pious Hightower 

395
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:12,920
guy. 
They aren't big on Dragons. 

396
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:14,320
They're not big on Targaryens 
necessarily. 

397
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:19,040
But his Squire is Prince Daron, 
his niece or his cousin rather, 

398
00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:22,560
is Allison, right? 
His his uncle is Otto, who's, 

399
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:24,760
you know, all mixed up with the 
Targaryen. 

400
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:27,640
So I don't know. 
I'm not sure about him being the

401
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:29,440
one to say that. 
I could see it, but I have my 

402
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:31,200
doubts based on the sound of the
voice. 

403
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:35,240
Like, the idea of it just 
because of the implication to me

404
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:38,840
of what kind of culture Daron's 
been raised in. 

405
00:19:39,360 --> 00:19:43,680
You know, like if it is Ormond, 
it tells you a lot about, you 

406
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:45,600
know, the kind of. 
Trying to win him over. 

407
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:48,200
Maybe be like, look, be, you 
know, be more like us. 

408
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:50,520
Be a. 
Hightower don't be a Targaryen 

409
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:53,760
and that makes me think Daron 
would have this self hatred even

410
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:56,760
or this conflicted feeling about
his heritage. 

411
00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:58,800
I don't know. 
It's intriguing to me if it is 

412
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:00,640
Ormond I. 
I agree, we don't. 

413
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:03,160
Feel like it's a quite yeah, it 
might be a coin flip. 

414
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:05,200
Yeah, like I could definitely 
see him saying it, but like, 

415
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:07,720
yeah, it's just really about 
what kind of man this guy is and

416
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:09,480
we don't know a lot about him. 
So like he could, yeah, he could

417
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:11,680
be like, yeah, I don't really 
like my in laws or they or he 

418
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:14,120
could be all about it. 
So yeah. 

419
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:17,520
I was really thinking about a 
Night of the Seven Kingdoms when

420
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:20,840
we were debating whether it was 
Ormond Hightower because I'm 

421
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:23,440
like well Reach hating A 
Targaryen even when they're 

422
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:26,760
married into them make me think 
of of Raymond and Stephen 

423
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:28,880
Fossaway there and all these 
other Reachmans. 

424
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:33,440
Like the idea of this anti 
Targaryen sentiment among houses

425
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:35,760
including the Reach rings for 
me. 

426
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:39,440
He can't go quite as far as as 
you know, Yeah, as like Raymond 

427
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:41,400
Fossaway did. 
He can't be like telling him to 

428
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:44,000
his face is your family are 
incestuous aliens. 

429
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:47,600
But hey, you're not one of the 
incestuous ones. 

430
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:50,840
You're, you know, you marry your
your mother's a Hightower. 

431
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:52,360
You know, you have that good 
Hightower blood. 

432
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:55,520
Yeah, I can see that. 
I mean, obviously Hightower 

433
00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:58,960
pride is, is going to be, Yeah, 
it's going to be up there. 

434
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:02,960
All right, so Next up, we have 
what I'm calling the meeting of 

435
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:05,920
Ice and Fire. 
Here we have a shot of Damon's 

436
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:08,880
bloody host with Riverlanders, 
especially the Tully's very 

437
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:10,640
prominent in the front. 
You can see Damon over on the 

438
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:12,040
left. 
He's very easy to spot because 

439
00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:14,560
of his hair. 
And obviously even easier to 

440
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:18,280
spot is cracksies. 
They there's a bunch of dead 

441
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:20,520
people in between. 
It looks like. 

442
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:22,360
Hey, what? 
Just what's up, y'all? 

443
00:21:22,360 --> 00:21:25,040
These guys just showed up and 
like, who are you? 

444
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:28,600
And then you cut to Damon, you 
know, smiling and as he's 

445
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:31,720
realizing, I assume who these 
people are and they show up to 

446
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:33,960
be like, we came to die for the 
queen. 

447
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:36,560
I bet we get that line. 
That's the line in the book. 

448
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:39,560
We came to die for the queen. 
Please give us that line. 

449
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:40,840
It is. 
It says it all. 

450
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:44,040
Like, yeah, winter's coming. 
We'd rather die in battle than 

451
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:46,840
freeze to death and go quote, 
quote, UN quote, go hunting. 

452
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:51,040
So I like to the smile is like, 
oh, cool, because there I I bet 

453
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:54,120
at first they're wondering who 
the hell these guys are we about

454
00:21:54,120 --> 00:21:55,280
to have to fight, have another 
fight. 

455
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:57,920
I like how you can also see a 
little Oscar's head poking up 

456
00:21:57,920 --> 00:21:59,760
over Damon's right shoulder. 
That's totally Oscar. 

457
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:01,720
How is it so clearly Oscar 
Tully? 

458
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:02,640
We can. 
Barely. 

459
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:04,280
See him you're. 
So right. 

460
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:08,080
And more clearly, it's as clear 
as Caraxi is over his left 

461
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:11,480
shoulder. 
Not quite, but yeah, we see him 

462
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:13,480
next. 
To him in the stills we got, but

463
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:16,560
we covered in the first trailer 
coverage, the first teaser, 

464
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:20,440
sorry coverage. 
Later in this teaser, there's a 

465
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:23,960
shot of Damon looking almost 
exact same, except his face is 

466
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:26,440
of concern. 
And I wonder if he's related 

467
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:28,600
where the first we have the 
concern. 

468
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:32,680
And then it turns to this, like,
slowly building smile as he 

469
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:35,240
realizes, oh, these dudes are on
our side. 

470
00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:39,120
Northman Shaggy, ready to die. 
Northman. 

471
00:22:39,120 --> 00:22:40,280
Hell yeah. 
He's. 

472
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:42,000
That's that's going to make 
Damon smile. 

473
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:44,240
And Damon doesn't smile very 
often. 

474
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:47,640
You know, he smiles more like 
sarcastically or when he's 

475
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:49,520
trying to, like, make someone 
mad. 

476
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:51,560
Then he's like, genuine, sincere
smile. 

477
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:55,560
This is like, sincere. 
Like, yeah, anyway, we are, by 

478
00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:58,880
the way, doing an episode on the
Winter Wolves Sunday, May 10th, 

479
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:01,000
FYI. 
So make sure you're around for 

480
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:04,880
that or catch it afterwards. 
Next up, we have a voice over 

481
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:09,000
that is definitely Lord Orman, 
because we see him speaking, we 

482
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,120
see the words coming out of his 
mouth. 

483
00:23:11,120 --> 00:23:13,240
It's a lot easier when that's 
the case, right? 

484
00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:18,720
And he says we act with holy 
purpose to restore a rightful 

485
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:22,080
king. 
OK, yeah, to restore your savage

486
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:25,560
race, rightful king. 
Now, to restore implies that 

487
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:29,680
throne has been lost by this 
point, which means that it's the

488
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:31,400
timeline might be a little 
different from the book. 

489
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:33,480
Well, it's definitely different 
from the book, but how much is 

490
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:36,760
the question. 
He's saying that to restore. 

491
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:39,840
That means they've lost it. 
That means Rainier and Damon 

492
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:42,280
have taken the throne, so 
they're going to go up there and

493
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:44,320
take it back. 
That's his idea. 

494
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:46,840
Otherwise he's calling Amon the 
false king, which I doubt 

495
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:49,640
because Amon would be next in 
line behind Aegon anyway given 

496
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:52,880
the Hightower preference for 
male inheritors, which that's 

497
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:54,040
kind of been their whole thing 
here. 

498
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:55,840
So I don't think they're going 
to suddenly change and be like, 

499
00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:59,920
no, it should be Jahara. 
That would also not match the 

500
00:23:59,920 --> 00:24:02,400
books at all. 
So yeah, he's standing to a 

501
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:03,760
crowd. 
Doesn't look like it's a big 

502
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:05,280
crowd. 
It looks like it's nobility. 

503
00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:09,320
Like that is a noble girl 
hairstyle to the right there 

504
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:10,960
that we can barely see. 
That is not some peasant. 

505
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:13,880
I guess they might be in front 
of the Sept or in front of the 

506
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:17,160
Hightower itself maybe. 
I'm guessing this is Old Town 

507
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:18,360
still, but maybe. 
Oh you think so? 

508
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:20,560
It might not be. 
I was thinking he was out in the

509
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:22,160
field. 
It may have gone farther, yes. 

510
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:23,880
You know already. 
This might be when their guest 

511
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:25,400
jetting started though, you know
what I mean? 

512
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:27,120
It could be, yeah. 
Like when they just get to a 

513
00:24:27,120 --> 00:24:30,360
nest cuz Well no I guess. 
At the end of last season we saw

514
00:24:30,360 --> 00:24:32,600
Tasari and already flying and 
the high towers were already 

515
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:33,360
marked. 
Yeah, you're right. 

516
00:24:33,360 --> 00:24:34,520
OK, So it's not. 
It's not. 

517
00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:36,640
So this must be somewhere on 
their route. 

518
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:38,840
One of the other castles they've
stopped off at. 

519
00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:41,240
Yeah, maybe even, well, not Jon 
Roxton's. 

520
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:43,600
That's not in the that's not in 
in the way at all, man. 

521
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:44,840
He would be the one speaking 
anyway. 

522
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:46,480
Whatever. 
So yeah, this is probably not 

523
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:48,320
high. 
Good, good thinking through live

524
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:50,360
here, y'all. 
So probably not in Old Town. 

525
00:24:50,360 --> 00:24:52,560
They're probably past it. 
I can't think of where else they

526
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:53,560
stop. 
I know they eventually get to 

527
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:55,520
Brito Bridge, obviously, but 
there's places before that 

528
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:58,400
anyway. 
Bold Rock, Jon Roxton again, 

529
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:00,840
visible there to the left. 
This shot has some very clearly 

530
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:03,080
visible 2 Valyrian steel swords.
Look at that. 

531
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:06,000
Two Valyrian steel blades that 
we hadn't seen much of or any 

532
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:08,000
of, but definitely not John 
Roxton's. 

533
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:11,000
But we'd only seen Vigilance 
maybe in the trailer before 

534
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:13,120
anyway. 
Orphan Maker over his left 

535
00:25:13,120 --> 00:25:16,560
shoulder there and Laura Norman 
has Vigilance on his left hip. 

536
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:18,720
It's pretty cool. 
Love seeing those Valyrian steel

537
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:20,280
blades. 
Is at least 4 Valyrian steel 

538
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:23,560
blades in this trailer. 
We also get black fire and 

539
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:26,000
actually maybe we don't actually
see dark sister. 

540
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:27,640
I just assume we see Dark Sister
but. 

541
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:30,040
Yeah, you might not actually 
ever see. 

542
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:33,120
Do we see Damon's waist? 
Like like his hips? 

543
00:25:33,360 --> 00:25:33,800
I don't know. 
We do. 

544
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:36,200
We only see him like his face, 
his bloody face, and from really

545
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:38,600
far away when he's, I don't 
know, maybe not. 

546
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:41,240
So maybe only the three. 
But we do see the cat's paw, not

547
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:43,640
the cat's paw dagger, the the 
ice and fire dagger as well. 

548
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:45,400
So that's a Valyrian steel 
blade, not a sword. 

549
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:50,000
But anyway, so as Lord Orman 
says to restore a rightful king,

550
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:51,840
the teaser cuts over to Aegon 
and Larry. 

551
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:54,800
So it it implies that's who 
we're talking about now. 

552
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:57,040
Aegon is hooded and he looks 
concerned like something's about

553
00:25:57,040 --> 00:25:59,280
to go down. 
This almost certainly relates to

554
00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:01,560
what we saw in the first teaser 
where he's on top of somebody 

555
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:04,040
stabbing him because he's 
dressed the exact same and it 

556
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:06,160
looks like the same setting 
where they're out on the road. 

557
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:11,240
So it seems like they're getting
they get someone recognizes him,

558
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:14,480
or maybe Ayman has sent people 
after him, right? 

559
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:18,720
And they've managed to get the 
jump on these guys who tried to 

560
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:20,640
get the jump on them. 
Pardon. 

561
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:24,600
And they're. 
I'm curious whether those are 

562
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:26,920
some sort of hunters or people 
centre. 

563
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:27,960
They just recognize them. 
Yeah. 

564
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:29,080
Here. 
Here's what what I was talking 

565
00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:31,880
about as Shea's got pulled up 
from the last trailer and yeah, 

566
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:33,920
they're out on the road anyway. 
But. 

567
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:35,440
But they might be by the water 
either way. 

568
00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:36,440
That could still be by the 
water. 

569
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:37,680
But. 
But that is a different scene. 

570
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:39,160
Yeah. 
The one with the swords, guys 

571
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:40,720
with all the swords. 
I think that's like an invasion 

572
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:42,560
of Spice Town or something like 
that. 

573
00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:47,440
Anyway, he says, we see Aegon 
looking at Larry's very 

574
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:50,720
seriously, saying I'm going to 
kill my brother or die in the 

575
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:53,640
attempt. 
Well, unless the writing is very

576
00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:54,920
different, you're not going to 
do either. 

577
00:26:57,520 --> 00:26:59,800
Damon's going to do that. 
It'll be both, in fact, he will 

578
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:01,720
kill your brother and die in the
attempt. 

579
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:05,800
But still, I'm glad that we're 
getting to see this. 

580
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:08,240
This is, there's some potential 
here, of course. 

581
00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:10,600
Who knows, they could. 
It might not be interesting at 

582
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:13,000
all, but these aren't scenes we 
get in the book. 

583
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:16,200
We just Aegon just disappears 
for a while with Lorries and I 

584
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:18,720
always wondered what they were 
doing, like how they got from 

585
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:20,400
place to place. 
So this has the potential to be 

586
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:23,360
interesting, something new that 
fits in the story. 

587
00:27:23,360 --> 00:27:25,360
It's there. 
We know that Aegon and Lorries 

588
00:27:25,360 --> 00:27:27,080
did things. 
They stayed hidden. 

589
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:30,880
It probably wasn't just simple. 
So I'm glad that's getting 

590
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:33,640
filled in at least a little bit,
because I don't really want to 

591
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:35,320
lose sight of these characters 
either. 

592
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:38,360
So I'm cool with that. 
And then as he's saying that 

593
00:27:38,360 --> 00:27:41,640
voice over, it transitions again
to Amon sitting on the throne, 

594
00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:43,600
which we also got in the first 
teaser. 

595
00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:47,280
This is very much that same 
throwback to Damon sitting on 

596
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:50,240
the throne in the very first 
episode of the entire show. 

597
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:53,600
An interesting thing to note 
here is that Amon is holding 

598
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:56,960
black fire and has his eye 
patch, but we're going to see 

599
00:27:56,960 --> 00:28:00,400
him later in armor without his 
eye patch, and that is just 

600
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:01,440
cool. 
Different look. 

601
00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:04,600
And I thought that's neat. 
So we'll keep moving here. 

602
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:08,120
Next we have Hightower Butcher's
Ball, right? 

603
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:10,520
That's cool. 
So what's going on here? 

604
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:12,840
It's why I call it Hightower's 
Butcher's Ball because there's 

605
00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:14,960
two scenes spliced together that
make it look like they're 

606
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:16,440
connected. 
They're definitely not. 

607
00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:19,360
This is Lord Ormond Hightower 
drawing vigilance, probably 

608
00:28:19,360 --> 00:28:23,040
like, hey, let's go, we're going
to fight, let's do something. 

609
00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:25,760
But what the heck is this weird 
ball thing at his? 

610
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:27,680
It's not a weapon. 
It's too small to be a weapon. 

611
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:30,720
Is it like a, is that one of 
those like holy censor things 

612
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:32,800
where you get like holy smoke 
coming out of it and you're 

613
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:34,120
like? 
It's a health potion. 

614
00:28:34,120 --> 00:28:36,680
It's a health potion. 
This restores his mana. 

615
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:40,560
Yeah. 
So it's it's like, hey, I'm 

616
00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:43,480
getting ready to draw my sword, 
and I'm giving the big battle 

617
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:44,720
speech. 
And then it cuts to this next 

618
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:47,880
scene where there's the next 
shot rather, where there's a 

619
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:51,040
bunch of Hightower men cheering.
So it's like, hey, Lord Armand, 

620
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:52,280
just wait. 
That's not this is the 

621
00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:53,720
Riverland. 
That's Kristen Cole and Gwain 

622
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:56,080
Hightower on the right. 
And they're looking at these men

623
00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:58,320
like, why are you cheering? 
Or we're not cheering with you, 

624
00:28:58,320 --> 00:28:59,920
whatever is. 
And some of the men are looking 

625
00:28:59,920 --> 00:29:01,720
off to the other direction. 
Look at the far left. 

626
00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:03,440
They're like that guy's looking 
far to the right. 

627
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:07,040
And this guy on the left is 
holding some sort of like chest.

628
00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:09,320
The guy with a leather helmet on
the far left, he's holding some 

629
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:10,800
sort of, I don't know what's 
going on here. 

630
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:14,000
I don't think Gwain and Kristen 
Cole are happy about it, though.

631
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:16,040
I don't think they're happy 
about what the men are happy 

632
00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:18,600
about because they're not 
cheering and they just kind of 

633
00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:21,560
are standing there looking. 
But I do wonder what got them 

634
00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:23,200
excited. 
Like maybe they got news that 

635
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:27,400
something good happened back in 
King's Landing because, yeah, I 

636
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:29,920
mean, something got them 
cheering all of a sudden. 

637
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:32,000
And it's not the leaders of 
their army. 

638
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:34,720
So that is that's what's odd to 
me. 

639
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:36,520
Yeah. 
So I'm definitely wondering 

640
00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:38,880
what's going on there. 
So definitely a little a little 

641
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:40,000
reversal there. 
It makes it. 

642
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:42,680
It's one Hightower leader 
getting his men to cheer. 

643
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:45,480
But then a different set of 
Hightower men are answering that

644
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:48,160
call. 
We have a shot of a man 

645
00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:49,840
sharpening his axe with a 
whetstone. 

646
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:53,880
Very nice trailery way to show 
that battle is coming. 

647
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:54,680
War is coming. 
Yeah. 

648
00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:56,120
You're sharpening your weapons, 
right? 

649
00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:58,200
That's pretty straightforward. 
I don't know that there's any 

650
00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:01,280
other significance here. 
I don't know which is seen this 

651
00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:02,840
as a part of. 
You can't really tell who this 

652
00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:03,960
is. 
I guess it's a northerner. 

653
00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:06,120
Yeah, the northerners are a 
little more likely to fight with

654
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:07,360
axes, aren't they? 
So that the. 

655
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:09,000
Clothes look kind of just 
northern. 

656
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:10,600
They don't, certainly. 
I would. 

657
00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:13,080
I'm with you there. 
If I had to bet, I would bet on 

658
00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:14,800
a Northerner. 
Yeah, I think you're right. 

659
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:17,440
Now we have Battle Eamon. 
Here's what I was saying. 

660
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:21,040
This is, this is Eamon looking 
kind of like a White Walker with

661
00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:24,320
his silvery eye, blue sapphire 
eye. 

662
00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:25,880
I say silvery. 
It's a sapphire, but it's 

663
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:27,840
silvery too, because it's got 
such shine on it in that little 

664
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:30,400
corner, upper left corner where 
it's got that reflection. 

665
00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:35,160
Looks really cool his hair is 
particularly long and white even

666
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:37,960
longer he's supposed to look 
like Damon a bit but even more 

667
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:40,560
severe cause of the scar and the
eye and the hair is longer. 

668
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:43,120
You can say you can see the the 
the dagger of ice and fire 

669
00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:45,760
poking out over his his hip 
there in the bottom left or 

670
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:49,520
bottom center there. 
And he's wearing his own armor. 

671
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:53,360
This is not Aegon's armor. 
I don't think which he might 

672
00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:54,880
have done that. 
He might have taken Aegon and 

673
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:57,240
Conqueror's armor to just deck 
himself out with all the stuff 

674
00:30:57,400 --> 00:30:58,680
he's got the dagger and black 
fire. 

675
00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:00,200
Why not? 
But no, this is his own. 

676
00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:01,440
This is his own. 
Yeah, it's darker. 

677
00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:04,040
Armor design that we have seen, 
it's interesting. 

678
00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:06,560
It's kind of it's slimmer. 
I think the other armor was 

679
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:08,440
probably pretty messed up. 
I mean, not destroyed because 

680
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:10,600
it's valuing steel, but it was 
probably like all the fastenings

681
00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:11,480
and everything. 
Yeah, it was. 

682
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:15,200
It's probably pretty screwed. 
It needs a little work and he's 

683
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:19,080
saying draw your sword, which 
but very sadly that's almost 

684
00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:22,240
certainly spoken to Sir Simon, 
who he's going to then butcher 

685
00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:24,240
and then he'll probably kill the
rest of the strong shortly 

686
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:26,600
after. 
And then interesting plot line 

687
00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:29,760
with Alice sure to follow. 
But we don't actually spy Alice 

688
00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:32,760
in this teaser or the first one.
I do spy some Weywoods in the 

689
00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:33,960
upper left. 
There some hard trees in the 

690
00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:35,560
upper left corner. 
Cool detail there. 

691
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:38,160
One of the reasons that not that
we weren't sure this is Herron 

692
00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:41,600
Hall anyway, but that really 
adds to the certainty. 

693
00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:45,840
This next part I've called a 
clean coal killing. 

694
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:48,880
Here we have Christian Cole 
killing somebody, finishing them

695
00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:53,360
off perhaps, And the 
significance here is that he's 

696
00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:55,600
pretty cleaned up. 
He's wearing his Kings card 

697
00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:59,160
armor, and he has his Hand of 
the King chain of office around 

698
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:01,560
his neck. 
All the other shots we get of 

699
00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:05,960
him in this teaser, he is 
bedraggled, not armored and not 

700
00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:08,240
wearing his chain of office. 
So I think we're going to see 

701
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:12,160
the decline of Kristen Cole, his
Shakespearean lines of how 

702
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:16,480
everything is doomed, we're all 
dying, blah, blah, blah, and how

703
00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:18,560
he's just waiting to die, 
basically. 

704
00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:20,400
Yeah. 
So this is maybe a little before

705
00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:22,920
that, but I think he was already
getting fatalistic at the end of

706
00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:25,920
last season. 
And reminds me to point out that

707
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:28,600
this is very similar to the shot
we get of Damon finishing off 

708
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:31,600
some foe at the end of the 
Battle of the Riverlands of some

709
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:33,520
kind. 
Yeah, it's nice, Nice little 

710
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:36,440
paralleling the dude, two 
different hosts within the 

711
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:37,920
Riverlands. 
In fact, these two shots may 

712
00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:40,400
come near each other in the 
episode that they come in, 

713
00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:43,320
assuming they're in the same 
episode, which they may not be 

714
00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:46,840
anywhere near each other, but I 
would be very cool way to do it 

715
00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:49,920
if they did. 
A green fire is the next shot 

716
00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:51,640
here. 
It's not actually a literal 

717
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:53,280
green. 
There's no wildfire. 

718
00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:57,160
It is a bonfire made-up of stuff
that belonged to the Greens, 

719
00:32:57,160 --> 00:33:01,800
however, including a large very 
apparent Green Targaryen, 

720
00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:03,840
Hightower Green Targaryen banner
there. 

721
00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:06,760
So this is after this is almost 
certainly like the taking of 

722
00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:09,600
King's Landing moment when it 
happens to burning all the stuff

723
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:12,280
that belonged to the Hightowers 
that they didn't want to keep, 

724
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:14,720
like banners and some wooden 
carving. 

725
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:16,960
Looks like some wooden carvings 
there, maybe some statue. 

726
00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:20,160
I don't know what those are, but
some sort of stuff that's 

727
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:22,440
Hightowery that they don't want 
anymore. 

728
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:25,880
The only thing I'm sure about is
the banners, like I really the 

729
00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:27,400
rest is like, what? 
What are those burning there? 

730
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:28,560
What are they burning there, you
know? 

731
00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:31,680
Yeah, and you're right to point 
out that Rainier, I really does 

732
00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:34,560
have this motif of interacting 
with fire. 

733
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:38,360
This shot here actually also 
reminded me of the scene with 

734
00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:40,480
Viserys and Allison and the 
prophecy. 

735
00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:43,680
You know. 
Just like in terms of Rainier is

736
00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:45,680
probably thinking on that right 
there. 

737
00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:48,200
Yeah, Prophecy. 
Maybe. 

738
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:51,240
Maybe, yeah. 
So I hope you guys are excited 

739
00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:53,280
as we are for this season. 
I wanted to take a moment to say

740
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:57,040
that it's really fun to have two
TV seasons not only in the same 

741
00:33:57,080 --> 00:34:01,760
year, but like four months apart
at most, you know, not even 

742
00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:04,040
quite four months apart. 
And so that's pretty fun and 

743
00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:06,040
we're excited for that. 
We feel pretty privileged for 

744
00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:07,480
that, and we're going to make 
the most of it. 

745
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:10,600
We're glad that you guys are 
with us today and will be with 

746
00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:13,760
us during the season. 
If you want to sign up to be a 

747
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:17,520
bigger part of the history of 
Westeros experience through 

748
00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:22,440
House of the Dragon Season 3 and
prior and and afterwards, then 

749
00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:25,400
join us on Patreon. 
We have a lot of extra episodes 

750
00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:30,280
there, voting for bonus episodes
and polls, things like that. 

751
00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:31,920
Lots of other ways to interact 
with us there. 

752
00:34:32,679 --> 00:34:34,880
Another way to support us is 
simply by shopping through the 

753
00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:38,280
links on our website. 
The probably most prominent 1 is

754
00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:41,840
Amazon. 
You can get a an Amazon Prime 

755
00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:44,800
subscription through US or an 
Audible subscription through US.

756
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:46,920
I love audible. 
We just drove all the way up to 

757
00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:50,800
Michigan and back and listened 
to the new book by James SA 

758
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:54,320
Corey, The Expanse authors in 
the the series Captives War. 

759
00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:59,720
So yeah, anything you go and buy
through our links on our website

760
00:34:59,720 --> 00:35:01,960
supports the show without 
costing you anything extra. 

761
00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:04,560
So check that out. 
And some of those things we just

762
00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:05,640
put it up because we think 
they're cool. 

763
00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:07,600
Not everything we put up on the 
website is something that makes 

764
00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:10,760
us money. 
We have a mixture of affiliate 

765
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:13,840
links and just things we think 
are cool that we want to make 

766
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:15,080
sure are brought to your 
attention. 

767
00:35:15,240 --> 00:35:18,760
Yeah, there's no reason just to 
stop ourselves from sharing like

768
00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:20,680
legitimately awesome 
merchandise. 

769
00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:26,440
I mean, I really like merch 
related to the fandoms. 

770
00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:31,240
I like, like I, I love getting 
like unique item, a cool item, 

771
00:35:31,240 --> 00:35:34,280
you know, stuff like that. 
So I'm always kind of paying 

772
00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:38,720
attention to the the newest up 
updates on the Warner Brothers 

773
00:35:38,720 --> 00:35:41,520
shop site and official stuff and
new Etsy stuff. 

774
00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:42,080
I don't know. 
Yeah. 

775
00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:44,240
Anyways, I love it. 
And this fandom is really good 

776
00:35:44,240 --> 00:35:46,120
about that too. 
Just there's so many people that

777
00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:48,360
are making things that have 
nothing to do with some company,

778
00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:51,280
you know, and some of the stuff 
made by companies is awesome, 

779
00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:53,640
too, or so I Yeah, it's great. 
There's just so many options. 

780
00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:55,760
Let's move on. 
We've got some more scenes to 

781
00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:58,000
cover here. 
Here's one I'm calling. 

782
00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:00,680
It's the new. 
It's that new Westerosi 

783
00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:03,640
sensation, the hottest new band 
from the Riverlands, Dirt Face 

784
00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:06,240
Coal and the Emergers. 
Yeah, they are. 

785
00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:09,640
They are leaving a forest here. 
They're looking very bedraggled.

786
00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:12,280
You got to look, there's a 
little sheep in the corner 

787
00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:15,880
there, a little lamb, little 
Stokeworth, Stokeworth lamb. 

788
00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:19,920
It pops up so often. 
That's weird. 

789
00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:25,520
So this is almost certainly 
Butcher's Ball territory. 

790
00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:28,160
Like they're close to it. 
In fact, it might be right 

791
00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:29,960
before the Butcher's Ball 
because there's a bit of a 

792
00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:32,600
valley here and we know that 
they kind of emerge from a 

793
00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:37,720
wooded plateau or wooded place 
and find themselves surrounded 

794
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:39,920
by what's probably going to be 
the winners Wolves. 

795
00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:42,520
I'm not sure they're going to 
have all this mixture of 

796
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:44,320
different armies. 
I think they're going to 

797
00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:47,520
simplify it. 
And the way they cut back and 

798
00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:50,520
forth between Cole's army and 
the winners Wolves throughout 

799
00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:54,520
this teaser is kind of telling 
me, or at least verifying that 

800
00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:56,560
in my head cannon, that that's 
going to be how they're going to

801
00:36:56,560 --> 00:36:57,680
do it, which makes sense. 
That's. 

802
00:36:57,680 --> 00:36:59,360
Well, wouldn't we get one battle
first? 

803
00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:01,520
Oh. 
Yeah, we'll get a battle first. 

804
00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:03,680
Yeah, Yeah, we'll get a battle 
1st and then and then some other

805
00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:05,040
stuff between. 
This is probably what I think 

806
00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:06,640
we're seeing is a prelude to the
2. 

807
00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:09,720
Battles because the battle which
is completely unrelated to, I 

808
00:37:09,720 --> 00:37:12,160
mean 1 river. 
Relevant battle One relevant 

809
00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:13,160
battle. 
But just to be. 

810
00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:15,120
Clear we may just like not see 
the battle. 

811
00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:17,960
We may just see the like Damon 
stick someone in the in the back

812
00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:19,640
with a sword and they're like, I
we're just seeing the end of it,

813
00:37:19,640 --> 00:37:21,880
you know, because that they got 
a big, they got a lot of 

814
00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:23,840
battles. 
You know, the budget is big, but

815
00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:24,960
it's, it can't cover all of 
them. 

816
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:27,080
So, you know, like how they were
very clever. 

817
00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:29,520
I thought we we all agreed on 
the show that the, the way they 

818
00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:33,480
showed the battle of the Bracken
Burning Mill battle was really 

819
00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:34,960
well done. 
They didn't show the battle. 

820
00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:36,600
They just showed the aftermath. 
And it was like, well, there's a

821
00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:38,560
bunch of characters that aren't 
really main characters. 

822
00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:40,400
So why? 
Yeah, that was really good. 

823
00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:41,680
But they may have to do. 
More of that, yeah. 

824
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:45,240
Only so much of that you can do 
in that particular style, 

825
00:37:45,240 --> 00:37:46,240
though. 
You got to get creative in a 

826
00:37:46,240 --> 00:37:48,960
number of ways or it'd be it 
isn't is effective if you just 

827
00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:50,680
do that again, Agree, agree, 
agree. 

828
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:53,040
It's very effective and very 
well done. 

829
00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:57,320
Very meaningful and and dark. 
So what we're not seeing here is

830
00:37:57,320 --> 00:38:00,200
the Butcher's Bally, parts of 
the lead up to it, like the 

831
00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:03,760
whole corpses being arranged in 
certain ways, which I sure will 

832
00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:05,040
be disappointed if they don't do
that. 

833
00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:06,720
And I will be, well, I'll be 
surprised too because that's 

834
00:38:06,720 --> 00:38:07,960
just cool. 
It's so weird. 

835
00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:10,000
And like they would have fun 
with that, you know, like 

836
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:11,560
setting that up. 
And it doesn't seem like that 

837
00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:15,000
would be very budget heavy. 
Just have some skeletons in 

838
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:17,880
armor in trees, you know, 
tables. 

839
00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:20,080
I'm going to be. 
Devastated if they don't do 

840
00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:22,200
that. 
I think it's one of the like 

841
00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:25,760
most haunting, cool, scary like 
I had. 

842
00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:29,960
I have such a clear visual image
when I read that in the book 

843
00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:33,680
that it I would just be. 
I would be so shocked if they 

844
00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:35,800
chose to not do it. 
And I can hear, you can just 

845
00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:38,560
hear the winter's wolves, like, 
laughing to themselves as they 

846
00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:41,880
do it, like these Southerners 
and their big feasts or whatever

847
00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:43,880
it is, like, I eat this or 
whatever. 

848
00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:47,120
Yeah, like they're cackling to 
themselves as they it says it is

849
00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:50,280
a very clever way to destroy the
morale of your opponents. 

850
00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:52,400
You know, just do stuff like 
this. 

851
00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:54,960
And Wayne's morale looks 
destroyed here. 

852
00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:56,680
He does, yeah. 
Look at the rain like that's 

853
00:38:56,680 --> 00:38:58,520
just they're going to we're 
going to see a series of things 

854
00:38:58,520 --> 00:39:01,360
that make them bedraggled like 
that last shot we just saw where

855
00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:02,840
Colvin is 10. 
He's clean. 

856
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:05,800
This is this is earlier. 
He's already like downcast, 

857
00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:08,160
though. 
He says look to the sky, doom 

858
00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:10,560
and ruin surround us. 
But this is look, his his 

859
00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:12,440
garments are clean. 
His face isn't all dirty. 

860
00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:15,600
This is earlier in the he's a 
freaking book behind him, a 

861
00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:17,760
journal or something. 
Like he's not going to have that

862
00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:20,440
by the time they emerge from 
that forest. 

863
00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:22,600
Like he's not carrying stuff 
anymore. 

864
00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:24,320
Like he just has like the 
clothes on his back. 

865
00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:25,560
He doesn't have his armor 
anymore. 

866
00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:29,200
So, yeah, So he's he's seen 
better days in this spot. 

867
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:32,520
But by the time we get to this 
look, it's coming in comparison.

868
00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:36,360
It's the same shirt, right? 
But what is covered in something

869
00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:39,360
he's not doing great. 
Who's doing just fine, though, 

870
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:43,200
is Veigar. 
Veigar is is is is thriving, at 

871
00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:47,160
least for the moment, because 
whoa, that is a cool shot of 

872
00:39:47,160 --> 00:39:48,840
Vergar coming down into 
Harrenhal. 

873
00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:50,720
You can see Aymond on her back 
there. 

874
00:39:50,720 --> 00:39:53,240
Look how tiny he is. 
It's very cool. 

875
00:39:53,240 --> 00:39:56,640
I love, I love seeing Vergar. 
You know, obviously I care way 

876
00:39:56,640 --> 00:40:00,040
more about story and plot and 
characters, but. 

877
00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:03,800
Vegar is awesome. 
I mean Vegar is just really cool

878
00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:08,200
to see that Vegar costs a lot of
money and they did that money 

879
00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:10,400
well, like they spent it well. 
Vegar looks awesome. 

880
00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:12,280
I believe that's a dragon, You 
know, it's like. 

881
00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:14,440
That's among the best Vegar for 
you. 

882
00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:18,800
That it yeah, Meema Vegar doing 
her thing remind showing us how 

883
00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:21,800
real she is. 
And, and this is where the the 

884
00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:27,920
cuts get quicker and the voice 
overs are related in interesting

885
00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:30,040
and subtle ways and some 
straightforward ways. 

886
00:40:30,040 --> 00:40:32,480
Cole, again, we have a voice 
over him saying we will all 

887
00:40:32,480 --> 00:40:37,200
become beasts before our end. 
And that's as Vegar is like 

888
00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:39,440
descending. 
So the beast in this case that's

889
00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:42,320
being used as the example is, is
Vegar. 

890
00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:45,400
And you know, that's kind of 
cool given we have people who 

891
00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:50,000
are Dragons and Vegar is going 
to, not because of herself, 

892
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:53,080
because of her rider, is going 
to become very beastial before 

893
00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:55,280
his end. 
In fact, Eamonn arguably becomes

894
00:40:55,280 --> 00:40:58,440
the most beastial of anybody 
before his end, given the level 

895
00:40:58,440 --> 00:41:03,680
of just straight up devastation 
he unleashes on just random 

896
00:41:03,680 --> 00:41:07,120
folks who did nothing to him. 
So we have a quick flash here. 

897
00:41:07,120 --> 00:41:09,160
Several quick flashes. 
It cuts to the Winters Wolves 

898
00:41:09,160 --> 00:41:12,080
beating their war drums. 
This could be before their first

899
00:41:12,080 --> 00:41:14,760
battle. 
They look pretty clean here, so 

900
00:41:14,760 --> 00:41:17,280
maybe this is our introduction 
to them before their first 

901
00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:18,920
fight. 
But it could also be the lead up

902
00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:22,080
to the last battle of this 
Riverlands campaign of them 

903
00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:23,720
fighting against Christian Cole.
Because of course they're not 

904
00:41:23,720 --> 00:41:24,760
going to be done after that 
either. 

905
00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:26,160
Then they're going to be at 
Tumbleton. 

906
00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:28,640
Presumably we have Gwain 
Hightower struggling through the

907
00:41:28,640 --> 00:41:30,480
rain, so we just talked about 
that. 

908
00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:34,080
Then back to the Winter's Wolves
with a close up of this cool 

909
00:41:34,080 --> 00:41:37,040
looking Stark shield, a metal 
shield, which usually you have a

910
00:41:37,040 --> 00:41:38,320
lot of wooden Shields. 
So this is cool. 

911
00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:40,400
This is notable. 
You can definitely see that very

912
00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:44,040
distinct Stark cloak on the 
right there. 

913
00:41:44,040 --> 00:41:46,040
Like that's the cloak I have. 
It looks like a Night's Watch 

914
00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:48,840
cloak. 
Just that bear or fox fur around

915
00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:50,760
the neck with the blonde black 
behind it. 

916
00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:54,040
Yeah, that is a Northman cloak. 
The sigil, someone asked about 

917
00:41:54,040 --> 00:41:56,480
the green and the sigil. 
That's what Game of Thrones did 

918
00:41:56,480 --> 00:41:58,600
for the Starks. 
For some of the Stark sigils and

919
00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:00,920
stuff, it has that green in it. 
So it's just. 

920
00:42:01,160 --> 00:42:03,480
Makes the silver pop more. 
Yeah, I think it's like a, you 

921
00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:05,000
know, like a field of green. 
I don't know. 

922
00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:07,520
Rather than the white it looks, 
the white maybe just looks weird

923
00:42:07,520 --> 00:42:08,560
or. 
Something I don't know, Yeah, I 

924
00:42:08,560 --> 00:42:10,840
don't know why they did it, but 
they're just holding to what 

925
00:42:10,840 --> 00:42:13,600
Game of Thrones did. 
I have a bunch of merch Speaking

926
00:42:13,600 --> 00:42:19,520
of that has that green element 
in the Stark sigil so. 

927
00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:22,880
In book cannon, it's Roddy the 
Ruin who sounds the charge of 

928
00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:24,920
the Winter's wolves and the rest
against Cole's army. 

929
00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:26,440
So maybe that. 
So it does. 

930
00:42:26,440 --> 00:42:28,360
Like I said before, it seems 
fitting to cut back and forth 

931
00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:30,640
between those two because 
they're going to be very much 

932
00:42:30,680 --> 00:42:33,040
against each other for a chunk 
of the season. 

933
00:42:33,360 --> 00:42:36,280
Shot of called hallway Queen. 
We've Rainier walking through 

934
00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:39,280
passageway here. 
She's got Sir Adrian, Red Fort, 

935
00:42:39,560 --> 00:42:43,400
and someone else behind her. 
An older guy, maybe a counselor,

936
00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:44,960
maybe a different King's card. 
I'm not sure. 

937
00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:46,720
It's hard to tell that other guy
in the back there, I really 

938
00:42:46,720 --> 00:42:48,160
can't tell it's. 
Funny, I thought he looked like 

939
00:42:48,200 --> 00:42:49,160
a younger guy. 
When? 

940
00:42:49,440 --> 00:42:51,040
He gets closer, he can see a 
white beard. 

941
00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:53,000
I believe you see the beard 
there? 

942
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:54,360
Is that a beard? 
Does that look like a beard? 

943
00:42:54,400 --> 00:42:55,720
I. 
Think it doesn't look like a 

944
00:42:55,720 --> 00:42:58,000
white beard to me but. 
Yeah, it looks kind of grayish 

945
00:42:58,000 --> 00:42:59,840
anyway. 
Anyways, but the other guy is 

946
00:42:59,840 --> 00:43:03,200
definitely Adrian Redford, 
member of her Kingsguard. 

947
00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:05,280
Because one, it's a Kingsguard 
2. 

948
00:43:05,280 --> 00:43:09,040
We looked up which Kingsguard 
were cast and cross referenced 

949
00:43:09,040 --> 00:43:12,160
it to photos of the cast and 
yeah, that that's definitely 

950
00:43:12,160 --> 00:43:13,800
him. 
This still looks like dragon 

951
00:43:13,800 --> 00:43:14,920
stone to me. 
Those windows. 

952
00:43:14,920 --> 00:43:18,840
Those long, thin, tall windows. 
We're just opposites on this 

953
00:43:18,840 --> 00:43:20,040
you. 
Think this one's King's Landing?

954
00:43:20,040 --> 00:43:22,280
This is King's Landing. 
I can see it like I'm not. 

955
00:43:22,280 --> 00:43:23,440
I do not have confidence in 
that. 

956
00:43:23,440 --> 00:43:25,640
This could be her walking to the
throne room to claim it. 

957
00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:30,000
But why is but we already. 
Yeah, but where's Damon? 

958
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:33,880
You know, like where's like this
isn't the way you I don't know. 

959
00:43:33,880 --> 00:43:36,160
I don't remember this passageway
at the Red Keep. 

960
00:43:36,480 --> 00:43:38,360
Those long tall windows really 
make me think Dragonstone. 

961
00:43:38,360 --> 00:43:40,240
I don't know where those windows
would be in in the Red Keep, but

962
00:43:40,240 --> 00:43:42,000
maybe they? 
Are I believe that's the same 

963
00:43:42,080 --> 00:43:45,600
hallway that she walks in the 
same passage in her first scenes

964
00:43:45,600 --> 00:43:47,800
with Allison in season 1 episode
1? 

965
00:43:48,120 --> 00:43:51,280
Per Woke the Dragon on Twitter. 
Anyway. 

966
00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:52,960
But yeah, I'm I'm pretty 
positive. 

967
00:43:52,960 --> 00:43:56,560
We're getting a lot of clearly 
scenes just before and after the

968
00:43:56,560 --> 00:43:58,720
taking of King's Landing. 
Some of them are Dragonstone 

969
00:43:58,720 --> 00:44:00,680
right before, some of them are 
King's Landing right after. 

970
00:44:00,680 --> 00:44:04,240
So, yeah, I may not be on top of
of which is which, but I think 

971
00:44:04,240 --> 00:44:06,760
we've got the plot nailed as far
as what's happening. 

972
00:44:07,320 --> 00:44:08,280
No. 
Does the Shay have more 

973
00:44:08,280 --> 00:44:09,840
evidence? 
Oh, that there? 

974
00:44:09,880 --> 00:44:11,640
Yeah, I could. 
There it is. 

975
00:44:11,640 --> 00:44:12,640
Yeah. 
That's kind of. 

976
00:44:13,400 --> 00:44:16,560
That could be the same spot. 
Yeah, that could be it. 

977
00:44:16,560 --> 00:44:18,160
Yeah. 
But you can't see those windows,

978
00:44:18,160 --> 00:44:19,880
though. 
That's the problem. 

979
00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:23,400
Those little sunlit windows. 
Well, I know that's what I'm 

980
00:44:23,400 --> 00:44:25,560
saying. 
They might be there, but if not,

981
00:44:25,560 --> 00:44:27,680
then that would be anyway. 
Anyway, let's move past this. 

982
00:44:27,680 --> 00:44:30,240
It's either way we know what 
this is related to. 

983
00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:33,560
Maybe not the precise moment, 
but certainly the general plot 

984
00:44:33,560 --> 00:44:35,080
line. 
Now we have this something I 

985
00:44:35,080 --> 00:44:37,040
think is very interesting. 
We have Allison and Helena 

986
00:44:37,040 --> 00:44:39,520
facing the throne. 
Two things very interesting 

987
00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:42,200
about this look. 
She's looking down as if she's 

988
00:44:42,200 --> 00:44:45,880
seeing like a body or something,
and then her eyes slowly move up

989
00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:49,600
towards what must be her son. 
There's no chance this is 

990
00:44:49,600 --> 00:44:52,560
Allison and Helena facing 
Rainier on the throne. 

991
00:44:52,560 --> 00:44:55,400
They would be captive, held 
separately. 

992
00:44:55,400 --> 00:44:57,320
They're not going to be in a 
crowd of people with their hoods

993
00:44:57,320 --> 00:45:00,040
off, blatantly recognizable. 
This is doesn't make sense. 

994
00:45:00,200 --> 00:45:03,880
They would be the prize. 
Allison also says in this line, 

995
00:45:03,880 --> 00:45:06,520
in this moment, it is no longer 
safe here. 

996
00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:09,360
Well, that's not what you say 
after your city was just 

997
00:45:09,360 --> 00:45:11,160
conquered. 
That's a bit late to say. 

998
00:45:11,160 --> 00:45:13,240
It's no one like, you know, I 
think we know. 

999
00:45:14,320 --> 00:45:16,600
So I think she's concerned about
Amond. 

1000
00:45:16,600 --> 00:45:20,600
I think she's concerned about 
his decision making and that's 

1001
00:45:20,600 --> 00:45:23,360
why we see her fleeing the city.
That's what that scene in her in

1002
00:45:23,360 --> 00:45:26,560
darkness with the hood is that 
she takes off and that is fine. 

1003
00:45:26,560 --> 00:45:29,200
Like it doesn't it's not that 
big of a change. 

1004
00:45:29,400 --> 00:45:34,440
It's kind of ironic because the 
show did a lot to make Allison 

1005
00:45:34,440 --> 00:45:36,760
and Rainier in the same room and
so they could have 

1006
00:45:36,760 --> 00:45:39,880
conversations, but they're not 
going to do it here. 

1007
00:45:39,880 --> 00:45:43,240
They're going to have her flee. 
Now, in the book, Allison is 

1008
00:45:43,240 --> 00:45:45,920
very much a part of the 
restoration of Aegon the Second.

1009
00:45:45,920 --> 00:45:48,640
So that's absolutely fits. 
This is not a this won't have a 

1010
00:45:49,400 --> 00:45:51,720
giant butterfly effect as far as
I can tell, because it does come

1011
00:45:51,720 --> 00:45:54,520
back around. 
She does end up back at the Red 

1012
00:45:54,520 --> 00:45:57,960
Keep with her son. 
So rather than her just being at

1013
00:45:57,960 --> 00:46:01,480
court and being left behind, she
gets to escape and just come 

1014
00:46:01,480 --> 00:46:04,640
back at an opportune time. 
In fact, maybe she'll find Otto.

1015
00:46:04,640 --> 00:46:07,720
Maybe Otto will find her. 
Well, Otto won't be finding 

1016
00:46:07,720 --> 00:46:09,040
anybody while he's in jail, but 
still. 

1017
00:46:09,040 --> 00:46:10,720
Why are you positive she's 
escaping? 

1018
00:46:11,480 --> 00:46:14,200
OK, is there a reason? 
Well, I just gave a whole bunch 

1019
00:46:14,200 --> 00:46:16,000
of reasons. 
There's a it's a stack of 

1020
00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:17,480
reasons. 
It's connected to the fact that 

1021
00:46:17,480 --> 00:46:20,280
she's outside and that other 
scene in a hood seemingly 

1022
00:46:20,280 --> 00:46:22,640
sneaking away. 
She's talking right here. 

1023
00:46:22,640 --> 00:46:25,240
She says it's no longer safe 
here. 

1024
00:46:25,480 --> 00:46:27,920
Why would she say that after the
city's been conquered? 

1025
00:46:27,920 --> 00:46:30,200
That doesn't, that's like the 
most obvious thing to say. 

1026
00:46:30,800 --> 00:46:32,960
And so I think she's saying, I 
think she fled. 

1027
00:46:33,440 --> 00:46:35,880
I was kind of assuming she 
wouldn't succeed in her fleeing.

1028
00:46:35,880 --> 00:46:38,760
I guess that she wouldn't 
actually leave, that she would 

1029
00:46:38,880 --> 00:46:41,440
be trying to but not succeed. 
Well, that's possible. 

1030
00:46:41,440 --> 00:46:43,680
I, I have no thoughts on whether
she actually succeeds. 

1031
00:46:43,720 --> 00:46:45,440
I I assume she does. 
I don't know what the point 

1032
00:46:45,440 --> 00:46:47,400
would be of, of her trying to 
get away and then not. 

1033
00:46:47,520 --> 00:46:50,720
That seems like a waste of time,
but maybe not. 

1034
00:46:50,720 --> 00:46:53,320
Yeah. 
Anyway, right after this we have

1035
00:46:53,560 --> 00:46:56,960
Eamonn prowling around 
Herrenhall with a bloody black 

1036
00:46:56,960 --> 00:46:58,760
fire. 
Unfortunately, that is probably 

1037
00:46:58,760 --> 00:47:01,400
the blood of Simon Strong and 
you can see in his left hand 

1038
00:47:01,400 --> 00:47:04,360
he's clutching because he's 
wearing a a steel gauntlet. 

1039
00:47:04,360 --> 00:47:06,720
He's got the the cat's paw. 
I keep calling it the cat's paw 

1040
00:47:06,720 --> 00:47:09,120
dagger. 
The ice and fire dagger in his 

1041
00:47:09,120 --> 00:47:12,640
left hand is also bloody. 
So he is dual wielding Valyrian 

1042
00:47:12,640 --> 00:47:17,000
steel and that's pretty badass. 
But yeah, not so badass that he 

1043
00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:19,280
has blooded his sword with 
strongs. 

1044
00:47:19,280 --> 00:47:21,080
That's there's nothing badass 
about that at all. 

1045
00:47:21,080 --> 00:47:24,920
They are not hard to kill. 
So the trailer starts to wind 

1046
00:47:24,920 --> 00:47:28,240
down after this point. 
It goes a lot of quick shots, a 

1047
00:47:28,240 --> 00:47:31,600
lot of which we've already kind 
of seen or referenced in other 

1048
00:47:32,200 --> 00:47:34,120
basically, I think these are 
reinforcing scenes. 

1049
00:47:34,320 --> 00:47:37,200
We got a shot of Hightower 
Bowman, which is almost 

1050
00:47:37,200 --> 00:47:38,680
certainly defending King's 
Landing. 

1051
00:47:38,680 --> 00:47:41,880
That is there's a see some like 
regular folk on the wall there. 

1052
00:47:41,880 --> 00:47:44,320
You can maybe that's the Red 
Keep in the right there. 

1053
00:47:44,960 --> 00:47:49,320
Either way, the the high tower 
Bowman are only going to be on 

1054
00:47:49,320 --> 00:47:51,400
the attack and anywhere else. 
The armies are only going to be 

1055
00:47:51,400 --> 00:47:53,840
on the attack elsewhere except 
for Kristen Cole's man who are 

1056
00:47:53,840 --> 00:47:55,680
running away and they aren't 
geared up like that. 

1057
00:47:55,680 --> 00:47:59,160
So I'm pretty sure this is more 
yet more taking of King's 

1058
00:47:59,160 --> 00:48:01,640
Landing scene here. 
Then we go back to Vergar 

1059
00:48:01,640 --> 00:48:04,760
burning Heron Hall, which is 
pretty sweet, but nothing 

1060
00:48:04,760 --> 00:48:07,520
mysterious about it. 
Then we have bloody Damon, 

1061
00:48:07,640 --> 00:48:10,200
bloody faced Damon. 
I think this is what I said 

1062
00:48:10,200 --> 00:48:12,480
before. 
He is concerned because he's 

1063
00:48:12,480 --> 00:48:15,960
like, oh, more people. 
And then he realizes, oh, it's 

1064
00:48:15,960 --> 00:48:17,760
the winners wolves, we're good. 
But this could be, it could be 

1065
00:48:17,760 --> 00:48:19,760
entirely unrelated. 
This could be entirely separate 

1066
00:48:19,760 --> 00:48:21,720
battle. 
But the blood on his face looks 

1067
00:48:21,720 --> 00:48:24,360
very similar and he's still and 
he's outdoors, so it would be 

1068
00:48:24,360 --> 00:48:26,360
fitting. 
The thing with this sword on the

1069
00:48:26,360 --> 00:48:28,440
ground that gets picked, It's. 
I don't know what they're doing 

1070
00:48:28,440 --> 00:48:29,640
with that. 
That's like, there's really 

1071
00:48:29,640 --> 00:48:32,600
nothing I can make of of that. 
Yeah. 

1072
00:48:32,600 --> 00:48:34,440
It's like a sword on the ground 
and someone's picking it up or 

1073
00:48:34,440 --> 00:48:36,080
kicking with their foot. 
I yeah, I'm. 

1074
00:48:36,160 --> 00:48:40,040
It's not a sort of note. 
It's not Black Fire or Yeah. 

1075
00:48:40,040 --> 00:48:42,160
It's not Dark Sister, it's not 
Black Fire. 

1076
00:48:42,160 --> 00:48:44,680
I, I think I remember checking. 
I don't, I, I didn't. 

1077
00:48:44,680 --> 00:48:48,000
It wasn't Vigilance, but no, I, 
I don't remember if it was. 

1078
00:48:48,400 --> 00:48:50,480
Probably not orphan maker 
either. 

1079
00:48:50,480 --> 00:48:52,320
It seems unlikely they don't. 
Doesn't look right. 

1080
00:48:52,360 --> 00:48:54,560
It looks like a regular. 
Sword just picking up his sword.

1081
00:48:54,600 --> 00:48:57,680
Wayne Picking. 
It's just a shot of battle. 

1082
00:48:57,760 --> 00:48:58,800
Yeah. 
It's just action. 

1083
00:48:58,800 --> 00:49:00,360
Yeah. 
I think it's probably what it is

1084
00:49:00,360 --> 00:49:01,640
then, because. 
And then immediately after, we 

1085
00:49:01,640 --> 00:49:05,080
have Damon fighting and killing 
some green loyalists, just like 

1086
00:49:05,080 --> 00:49:06,600
we saw in the first Trent 
teaser. 

1087
00:49:07,120 --> 00:49:10,520
And then it immediately cuts to 
Rainier in extreme grief, which 

1088
00:49:10,840 --> 00:49:13,080
I really don't know what that 
could be other than the death of

1089
00:49:13,080 --> 00:49:14,760
Jay. 
So that seems extremely likely. 

1090
00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:19,920
And then we have Alan in action 
on a ship during the Battle of 

1091
00:49:19,920 --> 00:49:21,640
the Gullet. 
Most likely he's slashing at 

1092
00:49:21,640 --> 00:49:24,120
someone and he looks like he 
cuts their throat. 

1093
00:49:24,120 --> 00:49:27,080
There's a bunch of blood there. 
And then there's another shot of

1094
00:49:27,080 --> 00:49:30,640
Kristen Cole in battle, looking 
bedraggled, fighting someone. 

1095
00:49:30,800 --> 00:49:32,720
Maybe this is the actual 
Butcher's Ball. 

1096
00:49:32,720 --> 00:49:36,560
The, the geography is right for 
it, the landscape, they are like

1097
00:49:36,560 --> 00:49:39,720
in a little bit of a lowered 
plane, which is the description 

1098
00:49:39,720 --> 00:49:42,840
of the how it starts. 
Of course, in the novel, 

1099
00:49:42,840 --> 00:49:45,720
Christian Cole is dead before 
the battle even starts, but I 

1100
00:49:45,720 --> 00:49:47,840
doubt they're going to do that. 
I, I, I imagine Christian Cole 

1101
00:49:47,840 --> 00:49:50,360
gets killed during the battle 
rather than get shot full of 

1102
00:49:50,360 --> 00:49:51,440
arrows. 
But why? 

1103
00:49:51,440 --> 00:49:53,400
I mean, they could just do that,
you know, it's not a, it's not a

1104
00:49:53,400 --> 00:49:54,920
big difference, not a huge 
difference either way. 

1105
00:49:55,680 --> 00:49:58,720
Now we get to something very 
interesting that we referred to 

1106
00:49:58,720 --> 00:50:02,440
at the beginning, which is the 
now this is born to die, I'm 

1107
00:50:02,440 --> 00:50:07,240
calling it because Malor is if 
this is Malor being born, and I 

1108
00:50:07,240 --> 00:50:09,960
really don't know what else it 
could be like this is definitely

1109
00:50:09,960 --> 00:50:11,600
Helena. 
And what could this be other 

1110
00:50:11,600 --> 00:50:14,920
than two things? 
Give me some ideas. 1A A 

1111
00:50:14,920 --> 00:50:19,120
flashback somehow to her, a 
previous birth. 2 Some sort of 

1112
00:50:19,120 --> 00:50:21,800
dragon dream vision type trippy 
thing. 

1113
00:50:21,800 --> 00:50:25,120
Some type of trippy experience 
that Helena is having. 

1114
00:50:25,280 --> 00:50:26,960
OK. 
Yeah, those are two. 

1115
00:50:26,960 --> 00:50:31,160
Other possibilities I think 
otherwise she's having a baby 

1116
00:50:31,200 --> 00:50:33,400
right. 
And I, this is a good time as 

1117
00:50:33,400 --> 00:50:36,080
any for me to address the poll. 
We'll at the very end we'll say 

1118
00:50:36,080 --> 00:50:37,960
what it actually lands out. 
I won't end it yet. 

1119
00:50:38,040 --> 00:50:44,800
Currently the answer of the poll
55% say Aegon, 45% say Amen. 

1120
00:50:44,960 --> 00:50:46,960
And there was moments. 
There was just 5050. 

1121
00:50:46,960 --> 00:50:49,600
It was just Even. 
So, you know, I go back and 

1122
00:50:49,600 --> 00:50:50,720
forth. 
Yeah. 

1123
00:50:50,720 --> 00:50:54,280
I think it it makes more sense 
for it to be Aegon to me. 

1124
00:50:54,280 --> 00:50:57,920
I don't think Elena would have 
slept with Amon personally, but 

1125
00:50:57,920 --> 00:51:01,880
a boy do I want it to be Amon 
like I want it to be true. 

1126
00:51:01,880 --> 00:51:05,360
But I don't think Elena, as 
we've seen her more deeply 

1127
00:51:05,360 --> 00:51:08,120
recently, I don't think she 
would have just slept with Amon.

1128
00:51:08,920 --> 00:51:11,240
I don't think she would have 
done wanted to, but you know, 

1129
00:51:11,240 --> 00:51:14,920
Eamon wants to, you know, start 
his own branch of the family. 

1130
00:51:14,920 --> 00:51:16,360
If he wants to rule, he needs an
heir. 

1131
00:51:16,640 --> 00:51:20,640
So here's my theory on that. 
It's it's means Maylord has been

1132
00:51:20,640 --> 00:51:23,800
uncut from the show. 
We already knew Rickard Thorne 

1133
00:51:23,800 --> 00:51:27,080
had been cast and Rickard 
Thorne's the one that sneaks off

1134
00:51:27,080 --> 00:51:29,480
on the mission to save Maylord A
sneaky mad at Kings Lanigan and 

1135
00:51:29,480 --> 00:51:33,960
gets a cut to pieces. 
So the way this would fit really

1136
00:51:33,960 --> 00:51:37,320
well is if Eamon knows that's 
his kid, and he would assuming 

1137
00:51:37,320 --> 00:51:39,480
he knows he has a kid because 
maybe he leaves King's Landing 

1138
00:51:39,480 --> 00:51:42,160
not knowing Helena's pregnant. 
That could be a thing. 

1139
00:51:42,520 --> 00:51:45,440
I think it's more satisfying, or
at least it fits connects a lot 

1140
00:51:45,440 --> 00:51:47,720
of dots better. 
If he knows and then knows Mae 

1141
00:51:47,720 --> 00:51:51,760
Lore has been killed, that could
help explain why he goes just so

1142
00:51:51,760 --> 00:51:55,560
batshit insane in the Riverlands
and just burns everything along 

1143
00:51:55,560 --> 00:51:57,840
with Alice's influence. 
You don't need this. 

1144
00:51:57,840 --> 00:52:02,760
Like, I don't think his insanity
in the book is unearned, but it 

1145
00:52:02,760 --> 00:52:07,120
would provide a more like 
baseline human reason, something

1146
00:52:07,120 --> 00:52:10,760
that's happening to everyone, 
every all the major players here

1147
00:52:10,760 --> 00:52:12,920
are losing children. 
So it would put him in in that 

1148
00:52:12,920 --> 00:52:15,360
wheelhouse, too. 
Gagon's lost a kid. 

1149
00:52:15,800 --> 00:52:18,440
Helene has already lost. 
And this would be too Rainier, 

1150
00:52:18,440 --> 00:52:19,600
obviously. 
Damon. 

1151
00:52:19,600 --> 00:52:21,920
I mean, yeah, they're it's going
to be bad. 

1152
00:52:21,920 --> 00:52:23,040
Yeah. 
Well, actually, Damon hasn't 

1153
00:52:23,040 --> 00:52:25,760
lost a kid, but. 
But. 

1154
00:52:27,280 --> 00:52:28,920
He's lost a wife. 
He's lost a wife. 

1155
00:52:28,920 --> 00:52:31,800
Yeah, he lost. 
Lost who was young enough? 

1156
00:52:31,800 --> 00:52:34,560
Yeah. 
He killed his wife, Yeah. 

1157
00:52:35,920 --> 00:52:39,200
And Oh yeah, I was. 
Thinking of I was thinking of 

1158
00:52:39,200 --> 00:52:40,840
Lena. 
Not right Royce. 

1159
00:52:40,840 --> 00:52:41,480
That's funny. 
Yeah. 

1160
00:52:41,480 --> 00:52:43,200
He's lost 2 lives. 
He has lost bad. 

1161
00:52:43,480 --> 00:52:45,360
No, he did lost a kid. 
He did lose a kid because she 

1162
00:52:45,360 --> 00:52:46,720
was pregnant when she died too, 
so you could. 

1163
00:52:46,720 --> 00:52:49,480
Oh, you're right, You're right. 
You're Yeah, yeah, that that 

1164
00:52:49,560 --> 00:52:52,600
absolutely counts. 
Yeah, so and then we've talked 

1165
00:52:52,600 --> 00:52:56,720
as far as the mailor being a 
baby instead of two years old. 

1166
00:52:56,880 --> 00:53:00,240
We have talked at length how 
that is a very common thing for 

1167
00:53:00,240 --> 00:53:02,200
TV shows to do. 
They just blur the line between 

1168
00:53:02,200 --> 00:53:05,960
2 year old and baby because 
there's logistics around having 

1169
00:53:05,960 --> 00:53:08,680
children on TV. 
And I don't think any of us are 

1170
00:53:08,680 --> 00:53:12,040
going to sit here arguing for 
children to spend more time on 

1171
00:53:12,040 --> 00:53:15,800
television and movie sets. 
So I'm cool with them fudging 

1172
00:53:15,800 --> 00:53:17,000
that line. 
And especially because it 

1173
00:53:17,000 --> 00:53:18,440
wouldn't seem to affect the plot
much at all. 

1174
00:53:18,440 --> 00:53:20,440
Like mail order doesn't like it 
does anything. 

1175
00:53:20,520 --> 00:53:23,040
It takes a little bit of the 
evil away from blood and Cheese.

1176
00:53:23,040 --> 00:53:27,360
Like because they couldn't do 
the choice thing, but they still

1177
00:53:27,360 --> 00:53:29,680
sort of did a choice thing with 
the boy girl thing. 

1178
00:53:29,680 --> 00:53:32,240
I don't know that it what 
definitely was cooler the way 

1179
00:53:32,240 --> 00:53:35,480
George wrote it more evil. 
But this, that's the only thing 

1180
00:53:35,480 --> 00:53:36,800
you lose If you bring Mailor 
back. 

1181
00:53:36,800 --> 00:53:39,080
Now you get all that other 
stuff, which is important. 

1182
00:53:39,200 --> 00:53:42,200
So that really would mitigate 
the butterfly effect of Mailor 

1183
00:53:42,200 --> 00:53:45,400
not being in there at all. 
It would give Helena another 

1184
00:53:45,400 --> 00:53:48,720
reason to commit suicide if 
that's what happens later, 

1185
00:53:48,720 --> 00:53:52,360
because right now she's not all 
super, doesn't seem to be broken

1186
00:53:52,360 --> 00:53:53,280
out. 
Maybe she's just handling it 

1187
00:53:53,280 --> 00:53:57,440
really well, but she didn't seem
crushed by the death of her son 

1188
00:53:58,040 --> 00:54:00,240
in a way that I mean, she's her 
personality is not that she 

1189
00:54:00,240 --> 00:54:03,880
might express herself that way, 
but still, she's not like 

1190
00:54:04,640 --> 00:54:06,480
looking. 
She's not suicidal from what we 

1191
00:54:06,480 --> 00:54:08,280
can tell, but this maybe that 
pushes her towards that. 

1192
00:54:08,920 --> 00:54:11,360
So then immediately we get back 
to another super close up of 

1193
00:54:11,360 --> 00:54:15,040
Vega right back to that we have 
Vergar yelling. 

1194
00:54:15,040 --> 00:54:16,720
I'm sorry, I'm not my bad. 
I skipped one. 

1195
00:54:16,720 --> 00:54:18,960
The very important one. 
This fades into Lord Ormond 

1196
00:54:18,960 --> 00:54:21,960
indoors yelling like this. 
This is a guy that like look at 

1197
00:54:21,960 --> 00:54:24,080
that. 
He is yelling and something is 

1198
00:54:24,080 --> 00:54:26,400
extreme here. 
He's not fighting. 

1199
00:54:27,000 --> 00:54:30,400
This isn't battle and the angle 
of the shot is very telling. 

1200
00:54:31,240 --> 00:54:34,160
I think this is related. 
I think this is he just got the 

1201
00:54:34,160 --> 00:54:37,520
news of the death of Mae lore. 
That's his what nephew? 

1202
00:54:37,520 --> 00:54:38,720
What would that his cousin? 
I don't know. 

1203
00:54:38,720 --> 00:54:39,880
It's his. 
It's certainly his kin. 

1204
00:54:40,440 --> 00:54:44,360
And that would be horrifying to 
him, you know, And he's going to

1205
00:54:44,640 --> 00:54:48,400
unleash his anger on Bitter 
Bridge where it happens along 

1206
00:54:48,400 --> 00:54:50,600
with Prince Daron. 
They're going to hang Lady 

1207
00:54:50,600 --> 00:54:52,560
Caswell and kill all these 
people. 

1208
00:54:52,800 --> 00:54:56,240
So, and it's supposed to be 
revenge for Malor. 

1209
00:54:56,240 --> 00:54:58,440
So at least that's how it's 
spelled out in the book. 

1210
00:54:58,440 --> 00:55:00,480
So I can really see that being 
this moment here. 

1211
00:55:00,520 --> 00:55:03,720
And we have this very composed 
Lord Hightower, proud, pious, 

1212
00:55:03,720 --> 00:55:06,800
and we get the seat of him just 
like in extreme rage, slash 

1213
00:55:06,840 --> 00:55:10,760
grief, like helpless. 
Like that's the thing that I see

1214
00:55:10,760 --> 00:55:13,040
here. 
You see a very powerful man who 

1215
00:55:13,040 --> 00:55:16,600
is yelling in helpless rage. 
That's that's how I perceive it.

1216
00:55:16,600 --> 00:55:18,760
It's part of that's head cannon.
Part of that's me inserting what

1217
00:55:18,760 --> 00:55:20,760
I think he's reacting to in 
there. 

1218
00:55:21,240 --> 00:55:23,920
But it's also kind of hard to 
imagine what else it is, you 

1219
00:55:23,920 --> 00:55:27,160
know, like is he mad that Otto 
gets killed? 

1220
00:55:27,200 --> 00:55:28,840
Is he, you know, that could be 
it. 

1221
00:55:28,840 --> 00:55:30,360
Maybe Otto gets killed. 
That's his uncle. 

1222
00:55:30,480 --> 00:55:34,160
But I'm not so sure that would 
have the reaction of a of a dead

1223
00:55:34,280 --> 00:55:36,880
baby on his family. 
You know, that seems worse, 

1224
00:55:37,440 --> 00:55:41,720
especially the circumstances 
like that Mailor dies when he's 

1225
00:55:41,720 --> 00:55:45,400
not that far from getting to the
high tower army like he was all 

1226
00:55:45,400 --> 00:55:48,760
he was maybe a few days or maybe
a week away from from making it,

1227
00:55:48,920 --> 00:55:51,440
you know, But Nope, didn't 
happen. 

1228
00:55:52,160 --> 00:55:55,680
So back to a super close up of 
Vergar burn and aiding. 

1229
00:55:55,680 --> 00:55:58,560
So it's kind of like these three
shots in a row, right? 

1230
00:55:58,560 --> 00:56:03,800
We have Helena yelling in pain, 
then we have Lord Orman yelling 

1231
00:56:03,800 --> 00:56:06,440
maybe in rage and grief, and 
then we have Vergar yelling and 

1232
00:56:06,440 --> 00:56:11,080
fire, and then it ends with, I 
believe, Rainier. 

1233
00:56:11,400 --> 00:56:14,560
And it starts with Kristen 
yelling and fighting. 

1234
00:56:14,560 --> 00:56:15,560
Oh, yeah, you're right. 
You're right. 

1235
00:56:15,560 --> 00:56:17,760
He's the Yeah, you're right. 
There's a a different one. 

1236
00:56:17,760 --> 00:56:19,920
Yeah. 
We have Kristen call the first 

1237
00:56:19,920 --> 00:56:20,960
one. 
Yeah. 

1238
00:56:20,960 --> 00:56:24,200
It's Rainier in grief than Alan 
fighting and and then Kristen 

1239
00:56:24,200 --> 00:56:26,320
Cole fighting and yelling. 
They're both kind of yelling as 

1240
00:56:26,320 --> 00:56:26,800
they fight. 
Yes. 

1241
00:56:26,800 --> 00:56:29,720
It's like at least five in a 
row, someone yelling as they're.

1242
00:56:29,920 --> 00:56:33,480
Women's fight is childbirth is. 
The battle. 

1243
00:56:34,240 --> 00:56:36,480
That is what they're showing 
right here is she's in her own 

1244
00:56:36,480 --> 00:56:38,000
battle. 
She was battling, Yeah, that 

1245
00:56:38,000 --> 00:56:39,800
looks like. 
Yeah, that is like that. 

1246
00:56:39,800 --> 00:56:44,480
Is that acting is is good there.
I mean, she's all got the sweat 

1247
00:56:44,480 --> 00:56:48,120
like you always see in a 
birthing scene, which I I guess 

1248
00:56:48,120 --> 00:56:50,920
is realistic. 
Technically Aymond will have 

1249
00:56:50,920 --> 00:56:53,000
visions too, not just Helena's 
visions. 

1250
00:56:53,000 --> 00:56:55,440
I said dragon dreams for her, 
but technically he could see 

1251
00:56:55,440 --> 00:56:56,640
just. 
Oh yeah? 

1252
00:56:56,640 --> 00:56:58,200
What does Alice put in her in 
his head? 

1253
00:56:58,280 --> 00:56:59,640
You. 
Know like that's we got to know 

1254
00:56:59,640 --> 00:57:00,320
that there's. 
There's. 

1255
00:57:00,840 --> 00:57:02,800
Room for that type. 
There's room for dreams, you're 

1256
00:57:02,800 --> 00:57:03,800
totally right. 
We can't forget. 

1257
00:57:03,800 --> 00:57:06,840
But we and there will be dreams.
There 1000% will be dreams, we 

1258
00:57:06,840 --> 00:57:07,920
just don't know if this is one 
of them. 

1259
00:57:08,720 --> 00:57:10,520
Why that would be something? 
I'm going to say I don't think 

1260
00:57:10,520 --> 00:57:14,240
we've seen a dream in this 
teaser, but I'll be curious if 

1261
00:57:14,240 --> 00:57:16,080
one of them is. 
I don't think any of them are. 

1262
00:57:16,880 --> 00:57:18,600
So Rainier then looked at her 
crown. 

1263
00:57:19,040 --> 00:57:21,920
And we've seen this shot. 
It was another teaser. 

1264
00:57:22,360 --> 00:57:24,600
And there's a line from her 
voice over. 

1265
00:57:24,600 --> 00:57:27,040
There will be no doubt who the 
gods have chosen to rule. 

1266
00:57:27,040 --> 00:57:29,480
And I don't know what that's in 
reference to, but it's almost 

1267
00:57:29,480 --> 00:57:31,800
certainly related to the taking 
of King's Landing. 

1268
00:57:32,120 --> 00:57:34,240
Sounds a bit dark. 
Sounds a bit heavy. 

1269
00:57:35,000 --> 00:57:38,120
Jace is definitely dead by that 
point, I think so she. 

1270
00:57:38,120 --> 00:57:41,640
And that's going to change her 
losing another of her sons is 

1271
00:57:41,880 --> 00:57:43,520
transformative in not a good 
way. 

1272
00:57:43,520 --> 00:57:47,240
Makes her end up like what 
Kristen Cole says, more like a 

1273
00:57:47,240 --> 00:57:51,080
beast, you know, And that's true
for a lot of these characters. 

1274
00:57:51,080 --> 00:57:53,080
Yeah. 
The more this war goes on, the 

1275
00:57:53,080 --> 00:57:58,120
more loss and suffering and lack
of end insight, the more people 

1276
00:57:58,120 --> 00:58:02,080
are going to have that sort of 
darkness creep into their soul 

1277
00:58:02,120 --> 00:58:07,880
and the level of evil and lack 
of compassion and sympathy will 

1278
00:58:07,920 --> 00:58:11,880
will all likewise fall off. 
Yep. 

1279
00:58:12,000 --> 00:58:14,080
It's going to be dark, it's 
going to be deadly. 

1280
00:58:14,080 --> 00:58:15,800
It's going to be pretty fun 
though. 

1281
00:58:17,160 --> 00:58:19,000
The music, the acting, it's 
going to be cool. 

1282
00:58:19,240 --> 00:58:22,120
Last season the teasers and 
trailers were very front loaded,

1283
00:58:22,120 --> 00:58:24,840
meaning mostly we saw things 
from the 1st 4 episodes. 

1284
00:58:25,520 --> 00:58:28,400
That might be true here as well.
I would certainly lean that way.

1285
00:58:28,400 --> 00:58:31,280
I mean, one of the reasons that 
happened last year was they were

1286
00:58:31,280 --> 00:58:35,280
still editing, and that is going
to be potentially true here as 

1287
00:58:35,280 --> 00:58:36,520
well. 
They're still going to be 

1288
00:58:36,520 --> 00:58:40,040
tweaking some of the Dragons, 
you know, rendering some of the 

1289
00:58:40,440 --> 00:58:43,000
movements and things like that. 
There's a lot to do. 

1290
00:58:43,000 --> 00:58:44,280
They can always make it a little
bit better. 

1291
00:58:44,840 --> 00:58:47,160
The Helena thing was the biggest
surprise. 

1292
00:58:47,160 --> 00:58:49,720
But, oh, here's another little 
shot we have that Ashea wants me

1293
00:58:49,720 --> 00:58:52,280
to remind her of. 
Oh, so here's a shot of Elena 

1294
00:58:52,280 --> 00:58:54,120
and Allison. 
Allison's got a Lantern and 

1295
00:58:54,120 --> 00:58:56,040
they're cloaks. 
When they're trying to escape. 

1296
00:58:56,040 --> 00:58:58,560
Trying to escape, yeah. 
So that that's. 

1297
00:58:58,600 --> 00:59:00,480
They at least get outside. 
We don't know if they get any 

1298
00:59:00,480 --> 00:59:02,840
farther than that, but yeah, 
unless those things are 

1299
00:59:02,840 --> 00:59:04,880
unconnected. 
In the other shot of them there 

1300
00:59:04,880 --> 00:59:07,680
is a gold cloak with them, as if
they were taken, you know, 

1301
00:59:07,720 --> 00:59:08,960
collecting. 
Oh, maybe that's being leading 

1302
00:59:08,960 --> 00:59:10,000
them back. 
Yeah, yeah. 

1303
00:59:10,000 --> 00:59:11,720
So maybe they don't succeed in 
their attempt. 

1304
00:59:11,720 --> 00:59:13,680
Or yeah, I don't. 
Know well the one with the wait,

1305
00:59:13,680 --> 00:59:15,400
where's the the gold cloak? 
What do you mean? 

1306
00:59:15,440 --> 00:59:17,120
When they're in the outside in 
the dark, does the gold cloak 

1307
00:59:17,120 --> 00:59:18,920
with them? 
Oh, you mean in the throne room?

1308
00:59:19,120 --> 00:59:20,520
But that's this is what I'm 
saying. 

1309
00:59:20,520 --> 00:59:23,280
They decide to leave. 
This is my my point was there. 

1310
00:59:23,440 --> 00:59:25,240
This is when she realizes they 
have to flee. 

1311
00:59:25,680 --> 00:59:27,400
Yeah, after Raniera has taken 
the throne. 

1312
00:59:27,400 --> 00:59:30,560
No, no, after Aymond has done 
something here, this is when she

1313
00:59:30,560 --> 00:59:32,880
says we're no, it's no longer 
safe here. 

1314
00:59:33,280 --> 00:59:35,680
She wouldn't say that about 
Raniera arriving because that's 

1315
00:59:35,680 --> 00:59:37,920
just blatantly obvious. 
I'm saying she would say that 

1316
00:59:37,920 --> 00:59:40,120
about something Aymond did. 
Like I think she's looking at a 

1317
00:59:40,120 --> 00:59:42,160
corpse right now. 
I think she's looking at a 

1318
00:59:42,160 --> 00:59:44,320
corpse, but it's one from 
Raniera taking the. 

1319
00:59:44,560 --> 00:59:46,160
Well, why would she say it's no 
longer safe here? 

1320
00:59:46,160 --> 00:59:47,520
That's and why would she be in 
like? 

1321
00:59:47,560 --> 00:59:50,640
Because she is about to take the
capital and then they she tries 

1322
00:59:50,640 --> 00:59:53,480
to escape and they capture her 
and bring her back after Rainier

1323
00:59:53,480 --> 00:59:56,400
has taken the throne, right. 
Like she says it because they're

1324
00:59:56,400 --> 00:59:58,800
about to come take the capital. 
It's not safe there. 

1325
00:59:58,960 --> 01:00:00,760
Let's get out. 
But they don't make it. 

1326
01:00:00,880 --> 01:00:02,840
So they they say it's no longer 
safe here because they know that

1327
01:00:02,840 --> 01:00:04,680
the the. 
They're about to take King's 

1328
01:00:04,680 --> 01:00:06,680
Landing. 
OK, but why would the Gold Coast

1329
01:00:06,680 --> 01:00:09,080
go retrieve them? 
Because Damon has the goal 

1330
01:00:09,080 --> 01:00:09,800
cloaks. 
I don't know. 

1331
01:00:09,800 --> 01:00:12,880
I don't know that goal Goal 
Cloak's the one who found her. 

1332
01:00:13,080 --> 01:00:15,640
It's a very incompetent escape 
attempt if they only leave that 

1333
01:00:15,640 --> 01:00:17,520
soon. 
I don't know, I, I, I agree 

1334
01:00:17,520 --> 01:00:19,200
that's possible, but I'm going 
to lean the other way. 

1335
01:00:19,200 --> 01:00:20,920
I'm going to stick with my 
theory anyway. 

1336
01:00:20,920 --> 01:00:24,280
So the two big surprises. 
Maybe the second surprise isn't 

1337
01:00:24,280 --> 01:00:26,600
a surprise because I'm guessing 
that Allison is not captured by 

1338
01:00:26,600 --> 01:00:28,680
Rainier. 
But if Ache is right, then that 

1339
01:00:28,680 --> 01:00:30,360
is not a surprise that she's 
just captured a little 

1340
01:00:30,360 --> 01:00:32,600
differently. 
The biggest surprise, of course,

1341
01:00:32,600 --> 01:00:34,920
is the Maylore thing. 
That is. 

1342
01:00:34,920 --> 01:00:37,640
Wow, that and a good surprise. 
Very happy to see that. 

1343
01:00:38,320 --> 01:00:41,920
So yeah, also my, my theory 
around Allison involves the fact

1344
01:00:41,920 --> 01:00:44,240
that having her escape doesn't 
really change much in terms of 

1345
01:00:44,480 --> 01:00:46,440
how she would proceed from 
there. 

1346
01:00:46,440 --> 01:00:48,560
Not that being captured would 
change anything because that's 

1347
01:00:48,560 --> 01:00:50,840
how it goes in the book. 
Now, what then of Aegon's rule? 

1348
01:00:50,840 --> 01:00:54,720
So I'm wondering about this. 
If she is there when she helps 

1349
01:00:54,720 --> 01:00:57,800
Aegon reclaim the throne, if 
we're thinking far ahead, which 

1350
01:00:57,800 --> 01:01:00,560
she is in the book, where is 
Otto going to be at that point? 

1351
01:01:00,560 --> 01:01:06,840
And is she going to be part of 
or against or an unwilling 

1352
01:01:06,840 --> 01:01:09,280
participant in removing Aegon 
from the throne later? 

1353
01:01:09,600 --> 01:01:12,680
And that could be Aamon's 
misrule could set up her 

1354
01:01:12,680 --> 01:01:14,800
willingness to accept that 
outcome. 

1355
01:01:14,840 --> 01:01:17,040
But I'm not sure because she's, 
I mean, she's already shown the 

1356
01:01:17,040 --> 01:01:18,400
only reason I'm even 
entertaining this thought is 

1357
01:01:18,400 --> 01:01:21,240
she's already shown her 
willingness to, you know, open 

1358
01:01:21,240 --> 01:01:23,680
the gates for Rainier, as she 
said at the end of last season, 

1359
01:01:23,680 --> 01:01:25,280
which that's not going to work, 
it looks like. 

1360
01:01:26,040 --> 01:01:28,200
But the that's not the issue. 
The issue is whether she's 

1361
01:01:28,200 --> 01:01:29,560
willing to turn on her family or
not. 

1362
01:01:29,560 --> 01:01:30,920
And it seems like the answer is 
yes. 

1363
01:01:31,320 --> 01:01:33,560
How far though? 
How far will she go? 

1364
01:01:33,560 --> 01:01:35,040
That I don't know. 
I don't think she's going to. 

1365
01:01:35,040 --> 01:01:36,480
I don't think she wants any of 
them to be killed. 

1366
01:01:36,600 --> 01:01:38,960
So anyway, we have a lot of new 
information. 

1367
01:01:39,200 --> 01:01:40,720
I'm very curious what you all 
think. 

1368
01:01:40,720 --> 01:01:43,000
Ashia had some nice friendly 
debates here as to our 

1369
01:01:43,000 --> 01:01:44,600
expectations. 
It's cool that we don't agree on

1370
01:01:44,600 --> 01:01:46,680
some of these things because 
that means they're doing a good 

1371
01:01:46,680 --> 01:01:49,480
job of presenting it in ways 
that keep it uncertain. 

1372
01:01:49,880 --> 01:01:51,200
Keeps us guessing. 
And I like that. 

1373
01:01:51,200 --> 01:01:53,440
Keeps us discussing things. 
I want to know what you all 

1374
01:01:53,440 --> 01:01:55,160
think. 
Let us know your theories, your 

1375
01:01:55,160 --> 01:01:56,440
takes. 
If we miss anything. 

1376
01:01:56,560 --> 01:01:58,080
How about that poll? 
Ashia came out? 

1377
01:01:58,360 --> 01:02:02,360
Looks like Aegon 1. 
Not by a ton, but yeah. 57 to 43

1378
01:02:02,800 --> 01:02:04,360
and I, I, it's about where I 
lean. 

1379
01:02:04,360 --> 01:02:06,920
Like I said, I, I think 1's more
likely. 

1380
01:02:06,920 --> 01:02:10,920
I want the other. 
I don't want it as much with 

1381
01:02:10,920 --> 01:02:13,440
your, your idea that it's 
through through rape. 

1382
01:02:13,440 --> 01:02:17,560
But I, I don't see a way that 
Helena willingly slept with 

1383
01:02:17,560 --> 01:02:19,720
Amon. 
Things would have to have really

1384
01:02:19,760 --> 01:02:21,360
like a lot of time would have 
had to pass. 

1385
01:02:21,360 --> 01:02:23,760
And, you know, I, I just can't 
see it Like I was hoping for it 

1386
01:02:23,760 --> 01:02:26,920
until that, that last scene 
between them and Season 2, you 

1387
01:02:26,920 --> 01:02:30,280
know, and that just clinched it 
that she did not think of him 

1388
01:02:30,280 --> 01:02:32,760
that way. 
Yeah, yeah, I agree. 

1389
01:02:32,760 --> 01:02:34,120
Yeah, she's not. 
Yeah, she does not. 

1390
01:02:34,120 --> 01:02:36,200
You're right, she's not. 
Think of him that way. 

1391
01:02:36,720 --> 01:02:40,080
Anyway, we have book coverage of
the Dance of the Dragons that 

1392
01:02:40,080 --> 01:02:42,000
you all could check out. 
In the meantime, if you haven't 

1393
01:02:42,000 --> 01:02:44,480
or would like to check it out 
again, we did a full series on 

1394
01:02:44,480 --> 01:02:46,840
The Dance of the Dragons with 
our good friends over at Radio 

1395
01:02:46,840 --> 01:02:49,000
Westeros. 
And we also have some Patreon 

1396
01:02:49,000 --> 01:02:53,640
bonus episodes on the Red 
Kraken, who probably isn't part 

1397
01:02:53,640 --> 01:02:57,840
of the show at all, but is a 
pretty big part of the story in 

1398
01:02:57,840 --> 01:03:00,080
the book candidate. 
In fact, there's two episodes, 

1399
01:03:00,080 --> 01:03:02,680
one that focuses on him and the 
one that focuses on his 

1400
01:03:02,680 --> 01:03:05,640
aftermath, because there's a 
whole lot to do with that side 

1401
01:03:05,640 --> 01:03:09,680
of Westeros that is kind of a 
second story. 

1402
01:03:09,680 --> 01:03:12,320
It's kind of like detached from 
the main war. 

1403
01:03:12,560 --> 01:03:16,280
So it's a great side narrative 
that has some connective tissue 

1404
01:03:16,280 --> 01:03:19,840
to everything else, but is 
really kind of a stand alone in 

1405
01:03:19,840 --> 01:03:23,680
a lot of ways. 
So check that out and we will be

1406
01:03:23,680 --> 01:03:27,360
keeping you updated with our 
episodes coming out before the 

1407
01:03:27,360 --> 01:03:31,080
season. 
We can't wait for the deep dives

1408
01:03:31,080 --> 01:03:33,400
that are incoming. 
Thanks everybody. 

1409
01:03:33,640 --> 01:03:36,880
Thanks to Joey and Jesse and 
Bran the Builder, especially 

1410
01:03:36,880 --> 01:03:41,080
Bran for our cool fire and blood
inspired House of the Dragon 

1411
01:03:41,160 --> 01:03:43,640
intro. 
I'm really excited to see what 

1412
01:03:43,640 --> 01:03:47,000
he comes up with for season 3. 
He if if you haven't noticed I 

1413
01:03:47,000 --> 01:03:50,160
don't remember, he did one for 
season 1, iterated on it and 

1414
01:03:50,160 --> 01:03:53,120
made a new version for season 2 
and he's going to make a new 

1415
01:03:53,120 --> 01:03:55,080
one, a different one for season 
3 here. 

1416
01:03:55,080 --> 01:03:57,520
So, and of course, he made an 
awesome one for Knight of the 

1417
01:03:57,520 --> 01:04:00,080
Seven Kingdoms as well. 
And so, yeah, so he's just, he's

1418
01:04:00,080 --> 01:04:02,520
just killing it. 
So yeah, we we're we're excited 

1419
01:04:02,520 --> 01:04:05,240
for good reason, because he 
always delivers on behalf of 

1420
01:04:05,240 --> 01:04:07,080
Ishaya. 
We'll see you all next time. 

1421
01:04:07,160 --> 01:04:10,160
You know what to do. 
Until then, Valar Rewritis.
