I literally was thinking the same thing
The Otto Criston thing is the godfather. “You’re not a wartime consigliere, Tom.”
the rhaenyra-daemon scene was incredible. love that we’re having these incredible dialogue scenes. also, I fully broke into gasping tears with how the duel went down. devastating
Sonny Corleone: I need a wartime consigliere... Aegon: Cole, you're up.
Can’t give enough praise to the casting directors. Last season with the incredible work in the age jumps. This season the castings paying off big time with some incredible performances
The Ser Arryk and Ser Erryk battle broke me. 😢

Same. It sucks so bad how all these actual lives are wasted as bullshit pawns in the chess game between a bunch of bleach blonde dipshits.

I literally look forward to this show as much as the episode itself. You guys are the best!
One of the best episodes of the show for me thus far

Agreed, it's one of the first times it actually felt like one cohesive story told mainly about characters we've come to know and care about.
Totally with Mallory on that final fight. Totally worked for me. I have no clue who was who and thought one part of him taking his life was to know that he would never be able to completely convince anyone of his true self. I found it truly compelling.
shoutout to CR's "Father, son, 'holey' dragon" comment about Daemon, Aemond, and Vhagar at the end there that flew right past everyone.
The GIFs of Mallory doing the breastfeeding face will live on the internet forever.
I stan all things Mallory Rubin
by far my favorite episode of the show so far - the pacing of this season is so much more deliberate and immersive and it’s leaving me more invested in every character as a result
The amount of producers you have on this pod is impressive. It shows too. Great stuff.
"That was a bummer for those guys" fucking took me OUT
Cant believe b&c happend and the next episode making me more Anti-Team Green, Alicent and criston cole are the best PR Team black could ever need.

Rhaenyra is like the only character on this show that isn’t totally evil lol. And even with that it’s hard to root for her cuz she’s kind of a dumb ass
I am THRILLED you are on KZread now thank youuuu !
Now we’re cooking. Felt like 2-4 of GOT.

44:20 the subtitles call her "Madam Sylvi"
The Twin fight definitely delivered for me.
So happy I found this channel…love your discussions! I hope Cristin Cole and the Hightower’s get their - go team black 😉

Don’t worry, everyone suffers terribly.
The twin battle actually moved me idk, him telling his brother “you separated us!” Ugh and then the guilt eating him after oof
Er Christopher, the guy called "cheese" has to be the rat catcher!
I strongly dislike the change they did to the B&C incident, HOWEVER they(the showrunners) did a great job with the twins. IMO the reason I consider the dance of dragons to be the best storyline in the history of ASOIAF is due to incidents like B&C or the twins fight. It was such a tragedy for the brothers to fight that a song was made for them called farewell my brother. So far B&C poor change might be the only outlier this season if all the great moments that are yet to come are treated like the battle of twins. And they are doing pretty good job of foreshadowing the seeds thus far as well.
let Jo speak 😢
Amazing set
I think you guys were wrong. I was devastated by the Cargil twins scene was amazing. One of the best episodes of television this year.
20:40 I think Viserys was talking about Jon Snow not about Aegon the Conquerer

Your breakdown and review is awesome
they actually made me root for Otto Hightower, that's impressive, and we got more Rhaenyra, Mysaria, and Erryk, ❤ also liked Baela and Jace but hope it's not romantic 😅 fuck Criston Cole, wait no don't fuck him i meant... 😂

Boring team Black simp
"Built up a tolerance, like Wags with the Body Sushi on Billions" underrated MR aside
Cole does believe in merit. He said to Aemond, I understand what it is to toil for what others are freely given. He has a kinship with Aegon because he feels he hasn't gotten what he deserves.
Does CR's shirt have Monarch logos??
Did we just see the hunting hounds - the ancestors of Ramsay Bolton's hounds, Bastard's girls.
DO NOT play a drinking game of how often Chris Ryan interrupts, and talks over ACTUAL BOOK READERS! You will be in the hospital. Rubin and Robinson asked so many questions (that I was waiting to hear the answer to), and Ryan just hijacked the topic and started talking about an entirely different subject. On top of interrupting them so many times I lost count.

Nah I think Cole is better written, Ramsey was a 2 dimensional straight up evil person, just the worst, and Joffrey was insufferable. I like that Cole is a common born fighter climbing to whatever station he can get to, and sees himself as the good guy, very toxic and more interesting to me.

Lmao no he is not
Wouldn’t Mallory’s evil twin be named Mowllory? It’s got to sound exactly the same pronounced out loud, so as to show absolutely no concern for a viewing or listening audience.
They actually mentioned Daeron?! I am going to be soooo annoyed if we don't see him, it's just a reference and nothing else. Last week we got the mention of Ormund moving his armies down from Oldtown, Daeron mention this week. Could we get Honeywine?
56:00 Why are you complaining about the twins not getting development, yet complaining in season 1 episode 9, why they have such a prominent role?
can't believe andy's takes on this show smh he don't deserve CR
Awesome
Cole is such a POS. Wasn’t locked in on this opinion til for sure this episode

This show is whack a mole for the “book reader” complaints. I have read f&b, but understand this is different. People want the show to stay faithful and also complain when they don’t expand enough. The twins are not major characters but they have this standout moment. Hard to find air time to make the audience care. I think Daeron should have been mentioned last season, seems like it should have been simple enough. It can be tricky to avoid the tell me exposition dialogue
