Episode 52: 'Game of Thrones' RECAP

we went to a brewery that was great. You know, that was a good time. Uh got to taste some different flavored beer. Coachella Valley Brewing Company. Really, they took good care of us. They you know, when I was getting ready to pay, I was gonna go to pay for my brother who is the bachelor, and he was like, oh, we already took care of the bachelor. And that was real sweet of them. So shout them out. Go down there, delicious, Bruce.

I'm a big sweet brew They they had brewery tours at like six and we ended up the lift driver was wild out of this world and ended up getting us their six fifteen and I was like, I don't know if we can still squeeze one in there, like yeah, no problem, and they took us and we were like it was so funny, so full disclosure, like me and my brother, like I said, I'm from Compton. These are

all our friends mostly from Compton. Rudy who's our cousin, also from Compton, and so like when I was like, yeah, we're gonna go to uh this this brewery, and they all looked at so we're just gonna drink beers and I was like, well there's more there. They like taste good, they're like craft beers. And I'm like and I could tell no one, no one was really really on the on on the train and then like everyone got their first round and like tasted on and then we went

on the tour. Everyone was locked in and then by then we're getting a little toasty, so we're super in. I this weekend went to wonder Con and I don't know if you saw my pictures, but it was also wild who were getting wild? Did you see my Chippendales? It was Chippendale the rescue rangers dressed up like chippen nails. The strippers they were in like g strings, they had little dollar bills. They even had a radio that they took with them and it would like blast music that

they would dance to. And Ben Simon, my friend who's also on Crazy Ex Girlfriend, he pointed out and he was like, Oh, that's the radio from a brave little toaster. So did the full callback and not only did I stop them, but later when I was on a panel, they were sitting in the audience of my panel and they're like, Hey, we we like that interaction we had earlier. We're gonna come and made them get up and uh and show themselves. Show yourself, show what the word that

you've done. Yeah, it was a spicy con. There are a lot of spicies. Somebody else was there that had the panel right before mine, and it is our lovely guest today. She's a tech and gaming host, Tricia Hershberger. Thank you for having me. Yeah, you were literally coming off your panel as I was going onto onto the stage. Ye. What panel was that. I'm trying to think which one was right before yours. I believe it was the Building

a Geek brand panel. So just kind of, you know, telling people how you can turn your passion into your living and giving advice to people who are maybe still in the start up phase. So a lot of Q and A in that panel to help everybody tackle their individual challenges. But it was really fun. Yeah. I think the panel that I had, weirdly right after yours was my LGBT and minority host how to break Through, so

kind of the same thing. Yeah, lots of info nuggets, how to do what we what we do, But you're right, wonder Con was totally wild. I saw some out of this World cause plays. Um. I also saw the Chippendale Dancing Chippendale, which was hilarious. But yeah, some really really fun crossover stuff. I met a guy at Latino Underscore Joker on Instagram who did the best Joker makeup I think I may have ever seen in a cosplay. He

was amazing. Um, And I saw a Janine with the Ghostbusters, but like a Janine all packed out and ready to go fight some ghosts, which as a kid that watched the eighties cartoon all the time in the nineties cartoon, that was a big deal for me to see Janine. So I got my picture with Janine. Some guy committed as Lego Batman and he was like three times my size, like he was actually in this boxing as a lego batman and I'm like, how is he walking? I mean

the commitment. I yeah, I posted on like my instant stories. Yeah. One Comic Con I dressed up. My buddy had a web comment called Glamorrock Gorilla and I just so happened to have a gorilla outfit and he had this leather jacket made. That was what the gorilla ward in the web comics. So I walked around in a gorilla costume, wearing a leather jacket on top of the gorilla costume, and it was hot, it was it was not fun.

So that's why whenever I see these like full suit costplays, I'm like, I respect you because I've been there and it's hot and good friend. Yeah, you know, I'd like to support people, and it's it's it's not a new thing. I've always supported the homies brands. That is also why when you see some of us that are in not very much clothing, that is why. Because Comic Con is in July in the summer and it's hot as hell out in San Diego. So, um, we all know what happened if he when I broke my um, I was

wearing a one piece too. Right before my Nerdice panel, I was at Skybound doing a panel and I went to the bathroom with Rika Ishi, who's one of our friends, and um my zipper broke like just completely. So it was like down to my navel was just everything was out. Oh no. Yeah. So if he said no, just rocket, it's a look and I'm like, yeah, no, if I like turned to the side, you know what I mean. I was like, if I turned to a side, I'm

going to be in trouble. Look at some people on the stream, because not only was Nerdiced, um we did a live show, but there was also a stream two of our live show, and so I was like, some people, look, I don't care if you see you know, boobs might allowed to say that on here. I don't care if you see a boob, um, but I think some people in the stream might care. Some people in the stream might not care, but then some people will care. Anyways. Yeah,

there's those castplay repair carts that run around now. By the way, should you have that happen at a future con? There are cosplay of repair people that are actually a lot of times their crafters and costumers themselves that instead of cause playing at the con want to just like do a good deed and run around and we'll fix your cause plays for free. Oh my gosh, I would have paid them. Nobody had safety pins, nobody had tape.

It was a nightmare. Yeah, I mean, speaking of boobs. Today, we're here to talk about the Game of Thrones from the books to the TV series. I mean, I feel like that's that's kind of like the same way kind of you get the you know, nerd world in intersecting with the mainstream. I feel like Game of Thrones was like one of the more recent nerd property, nerd properties

that got like the mainstream interested. And I think, you know, being as like R rated as it is is what got people going because they're like, yeah, this isn't like Harry Potter Man, there's like boobs, and well, let me just tell you there's tons of boobs in the books too. And the books were around way before the show and they were not mainstream. Like if you were like, oh, man, I want to share this very large book with you by a man named George R. Martin, people were like,

get out of here with that stuff. But now that it's a TV show, when it's on HBO. Everybody's loving it, Fatricia. I grew up with boobs and anime and Hentie, so I hear you before it was big. But you know, also, what's crazy about it is if you were like if you did reel someone in and they're like, yeah, yeah, okay, I'm in, and when can I expect the next book?

And you have to be like, I don't know, maybe in a decade we see oh yeah the space between these books and make me glad that I got into it when I did, because I would have lost my mind because I was on the internet very early, so I would have been banned from the Internet way quicker because I would have been yelling at George armanin when's the next book coming out? Dude? So many people do that.

He's like, so over it? Have you sure? Have you seen his interviews where like people are like him, what do you? What do you say to the people that think, due to your health, you're not going to make it to finish the next book? And he just flips off the camera. He's like, so over it. So that's a gross question to ask somebody, So die before you might die before this comes out? What do you how do you feel about under normal circumstances, I think it was

it would be a gross scaracter. But this man has waited ten to fifteen years between books. And if you're how many books are in the series right now, like I think five or six, so you're six books and you're like, I might not see how this is. I think we've gotten excerpts from the six. Really listen, Brad Bird took fourteen years before Incredibles to that's also true. There are people who, I mean, let's not even get started on Kingdom Hearts three, Like, there are people who

did not live to see I Love. It's been like hit or Mess. But it's ridiculous. It's a ridiculous game. There are plot holes everywhere. It's the most convoluted narrative that ever exists. But let me just tell you when the teacups come out from the ground and start slaughtering people, it is awesome. I guess we should have mentioned that this is a spoiler. This is going to be spoiler heavy for a Game of Thrones if you haven't seen it. It's kind of hard to tackle the series as we

go into season by season without spoiling something. So if that does bother you and you're planning to, I don't know, catch it and binge it before it comes out this weekend. You might wanna take a not a nightcap, you might want a nightcap and all so rain check, that's the word I was looking for. Yeah, So just before we go into the meat of the books, just so people

are just really understanding what I'm talking about. Game of Thrones was published in nine six sequel A Clash of Kings, not bad, right, Storm of Swords in the year two thousand, alright, not bad? Uh, And then in November two thousand and five, A Feast for Crows, the fourth novel comes out, and

you're like, all right, that's a bit longer. And then the fifth book, A Dance with Dragons, is published in two thousand and eleven, six years later, and I think that's where we last left off, and it is now we've been getting teased with excerpts excerpts, and it is two thousand nineteen. So we went from two years to five years to six years to now we are eight years in counting to be fair, the man executive produced

is lots of different titles and stuff. Now his career has blossomed also, Yeah, because he's definitely made that shift in the TV which you know, based on want to hear writing money is versus TV money. I can see why he's like, oh, this is going wait while I make this money money. Uh and he actually is eping a Nigerian offer neca for who I knew about before. You know, the brothers came on to talk about it

and I was very interesting. So it was a very small world moment when they're like, oh, she's our mentor. Uh so so yeah, so nice little callback. Let's jump in two Game of Thrones. Yes, so, um, Tricia, what what so? You read the books? When did you first get your hands on them? Like, how old were you and what was Let's see, was it when they came out or was it years after I was in my late teens? Yeah, I was in my late teens, so it would have been after probably after the first three

were already out. Um, and that's when I got the first one and I actually picked up and put it back down three times before I finished it. Yeah, let's talk about that because off air you were mentioning that you read a lot of fantasy novels. I'm more of a sci fi guy. Um, but you were saying how it was a hard read and how like with me there was no frame of reference. I think Game of Thrones was my first fantasy in since I was very little.

I was like, way too young. I think I was in third or fourth grade, maybe seventh when I first tried to pick up the Hobbit and it just wasn't popping off the page. How I wanted to Yeah, not to seven year old Iffy, But this was seven year old Iffy who already found anime. So like, this needs to go which which is you know, also ironic since I watched DBZ, which takes a moment to get to the action. But with me, I was like, no, I

wanted the goblin stabbing something page three. Uh. But so, like, what were the types of fantasy novels you were reading before you decided to pick up a Game of Throne, Lord of the Rings? Um A lot of the books in the Token Verse, the dragon Lance novels back in the day, So that's the kind of stuff I was into. So I was into kind of high fantasy, Like I like my magic, I like my dragons, and uh, the first Game of Thrones book doesn't have a lot of that.

The first book is a lot of politics, which this series I feel like does a lot better than the book does. So you're going through the book and you know, there are parts that are incredibly slow and drawn out, and a lot of In most fantasy novels, a lot of the characters either have multiple names or have names that sound very similar, so you're constantly flipping to the back of the book to remember who's who, without having the benefit that we now have of the show where

we can visualize the character to put with a name. Um. So I found the first book to be a very hard read until I got to the end, which, again we're spoiler alerting this if you've watched seasons one through seven, come on with us for this ride until the end of the first book, which ends much like the end of the first season with denari'skving birth to the Three Dragons. So at that point I was like, oh, where's the next book? I'm so is until then I was like,

this is politics. Yeah, that's that's that's really what it was. And to me, I was as a sci fi guy that I was into that because sci fi is a lot of like hyper politics and and and you know space, you know, like very bureaucratic in their like space wars and exchanges of power. So I was like locked in and that I had to And funny enough, even with all that, I still had that same moment where I was like, oh, dragons are real, because like in throughout

the first book, it's almost like it's fable. Those times are pasted, there are no and so you're like, I was like, Okay, so this is gonna be a fantasy that doesn't do much fantasy. And then they're like, nope, psych that's the wrong number. And actually, I take that back the very beginning snippet In the beginning of the book, there's magic and fantasy and then you forget about it

for the whole rest of the book. But the first season does that exact same thing, where we get that scene with the White Walkers in the very beginning, and then it skips all the way well I shouldn't say it skips, but then politics, politics, politics, all the way to the magic at the end of the first season.

But I think if you're going back to what you were saying about having that more mass appeal, I think the fact that it is so grounded in kind of reality and the politics of it all is what brings in your mainstream viewing public, because I think if they saw magic and dragons and all that right from the beginning, they wouldn't believe it, Whereas now they're already invested in the reality of that world, so they're more apt to believe,

Oh crap, there's dragons. You know. That's that's a good point because there are like I have talked to friends who are trying to get their friends into the show now and it's kind of being that same argument. Was like, oh, you mean the Dragon show, And it was like to to call it the dragon show when we have waited and worked so hard to to to get to the dragons.

It is true. Well, and you know, right before, so if we're talking about the show right before Game of Thrones, that slot was True Blood and I grew up like I was watching True Blood. Same thing. Yeah, vampires, a lot of sex. Yes, that's how they got people in. I mean, wow, wow, first episode. Wow, this is how much of a hyper nerd. I was just like, oh, you get to see rogues boobs. I mean, but I agree because so I remember like everyone, oh yeah, everyone

in my family watched it. I remember, like my I would go over and watch it with my cousin and her husband, and it was like, so, I don't know, so raunchy, but like they weren't into sci fi fantasy and that type of stuff, like that type of lure, and I think because they kind of made it like, oh no, it's kind of like a soap opera slash drama slash just skinnamax essentially is what helps get it get it in. And True Blood actually calmed down a bit after that first season. That first season, but it

got hella magical. The sex came down and then it was like fairies and all the you know, any of these Suckie Stackhouse books so very similar to the Game of Thrones. The books are like those books are like you know, you're, You're, They're very lots of sex scenes, very very into it. Like it wasn't quite shades of it wasn't quite there, but it definitely was like the book club was like, oh, we're gonna read about this type of stuff. And I only knew about it because

I was funny enough. True Blood was deep into my headspace because the person I was dating at the time was a big fan of the Sukie Stackhouse books, big fan, and you know she was from Utah, so you know that was real spicy out there. They're like, hold up,

hold up, we're getting getting a little taste there. So yeah, that's and I think, yeah, the same thing where you just grounded in enough reality and kind of almost in the same way the m C you kind of pulls in regular people where you just kind of find that other genres. So there is this its core if you eject all of the magic. Game of Thrones is a show about politics, and I think True Blood was about kind of like a soap opera that but like that,

I don't. I hate using the term because we kind of I want to say like high soap soap opera, because there are like soap opera s shows that seem more mainstream than actual soap operas. But I think it's you just call it soap opera because you know the new thing. I was saying, like with movies like Hereditary and and Us, should there be a term called elevated horrors? Like, no, it's horror. It's the same horror. Just because you feel smarter doesn't mean you have to try and alienate people

when you like it. So that's why I was against calling it like high soap opera, but like, yeah, that's soap opera. Yeah, but you're right, Danny, that that show ended and it left the people that watch True Blood with on Sunday night. I was one of those people. I mean, I watched True Blood at the end, even though I was like, this show is not good anymore, and I don't care. I'm still watching it and yeah, then what am I going to do with my Sunday nights? Boom?

Game of Throne? So before we hop into season two in the second book, we are going to take a quick break and we're back. I forgot to tell you that. Okay, so I had I had never seen Game of Thrones, but I like, at least for the first couple of seasons. But it was so prevalent online that I did uh movie fights about it at screen junkies, and I won

my round against people that actually watched it. But that's just because it's such in the zeit guy, So right, I knew all the memes, I knew all the characters people made fun of. I knew the stuff that had happened. Like that's just because I live online, So that isn't that funny? Like Yeah. Also, I don't think that they knew that I picked are yet, Like I think you had to pick like the strongest character, and I picked

or like the best. You had to argue when I picked her, And it was just also because I knew so much about it just from being on Twitter constantly. Yeah, And I mean the characters that are the strongest in this series change for the season a season, which is

I think what makes it such an interesting series. Um and Danny, you were mentioning before we started recording that you felt like there was a lot of stuff going on with the male female dynamic in the series that you weren't so thrilled with, And uh, that starts to shift, And I mean where we are now, it's definitely I would argue more prominent women that are main players than men. Um. But yeah, I mean it's it's got some really strong

female characters. Are you being one of them? But depending which season, Like a lot of people thought Sanza was a big pushover for a long time now frustrating, but that's like she was written better in the books. Oh yeah, Like because I only saw bits and pieces of Sanza because full disclosure, I've read the books, but I only watched my episode of Gay of Thrones episode which was

the one where she where Aria. We're going to jump ahead, but just so Trish knows what where Aria meets the dude who's teaching her of the Yeah, and she like she dips. She's like, that's my first curse drop on the second one. I'm usually the clean one, and Danny's hard to talk about Game of Thrones without having a curse drop. Also, like I just came from stream and so you know, I get real loosely with the lips um.

But yeah, basically, like it is cool seeing because the more I think about it, I feel like Aria is supposed to be the viewer because it's that kind of that that dated, like not dated, but definitely like the fantasy reader's mindset of like I gotta kill this person and this person, this person, and they constantly show us how she just doesn't have the power to do you

that yet. Boy, you gotta watch that show. But I know she slowly starts to get it, and there's something about that vengeance in a world that's just been so cruel to these people. I mean, there are people who would argue that right now, Aria is a psychopath homicidal maniac like has lost It is so off the deep end because now she most definitely does have the power to do it, maybe even more so than anyone else in this series. Um So, are r is terrifying? Right?

Moving into season eight, um I think at this point it's safe to say this is going to give you all the information you need to walk into the next season of Game and Thrones. Yeah, so that's what I tried to, like bullet point the main things against season that you would need to know if you were just like, Okay, I don't have time to rewatch them all, but I want a little refresher. Yeah, let's talk about season two then, okay,

well for season one. The other big thing that we didn't talk about yet is ned starks execution, which is right, so you've seen the me how you've seen them leave. It's really just the show setting up that expectation of like, oh no, you being goody two shoes is not going to work in this world. Well, and you think he's the star of the show because he's the names Allan and he's the good guy, and you think, oh man, good guys always win. Nope. End of season one. Um

So that and Dennis giving birth to the Dragons. I feel like you're the big refreshers for season one, and then season two we have I think the biggest up moments are the Shadow Baby, murder of Renlely um that was thanks to Melissandra, and the Battle of Blackwater Bay, which was this amazing naval battle and uh involving wildfire

which is this green flame, very very cool. Um. And theon gray Joy, who we had previously seen as Award of the North fast forward through some time, took over Winterfell and pretends to murder Brandon Ricken, which makes the North hate him. Um. And those are the biggest things from season two, yeah, I would say, and you know, just to focus in on certain aspects. Melissandra was really cool in her introduction at least in the books for me, because, like you said, book one that kind of like very

like very slowly trickled in magic. And then we have magic Woman who is now like straight up yeah, give birth to the shadow Baby. And Renley the the Rainbow King. Uh he was the one with the rainbow like he

had the rainbow action. No, his boyfriend was the Night of Flowers and Sir Lauris are yeah, and she straight nasty smoked him by bringing this shadow baby that came out and did it, and that that was what was crazy, because up until that point you hear the talk about her doing magic, but you don't see it, like you you all, you're only kind of like getting hearsay, and one person doesn't believe it's real. It's the what's his face?

The one who's like, who's so not the onion night y, Yeah, just not all about And then she does magic and you're like, oh, this is real weird magic time. Now, Well, they talk about priests of the Lord of Light, um, her god using wildfire to make swords appear like they are on fire. So all of this could be explained within the world without magic, until she straight up gives

birth to a shadow demon that murders friendly. So then we're like, okay, so either her god is the real god or one of the real gods, or she definitely has some kind of power or something, which I mean, even in the series now remains to be seen how much power she actually holds because she's actually you know, fast forward a couple of seasons made some mistakes along the way, um, but yeah, that that was a super super cool moment. And in this book do we not

also introduce the Iron Aisles as well? I don't remember if that happens in the book or not. The season

one and book one are pretty close parallel. Starting in season two they start to veer off, and by the as the books go in, the season's go the show and the books gets in further part in the timeline get really mixed up because in the books, right around when the brand Ricken stuff is going down, it keeps cutting to these Iron Aisles, and I remember being annoyals like I don't care about these new dudes, but that happened.

I feel like that happens so much as you get further in the books that which book I forget If it's book through your book four, I think it's book for You're like, I don't even care about any of these people that I'm reading about, where the people I care about, like Tyrian disappears for a whole book, like and you just don't know. But the book did that really well, where they would be left ambiguous if someone was murdered or not, and then you wouldn't hear from

them for a book. So you'd be like, all right, well, I guess they're dead, and then when they'd show up later, you'd be like, oh ship. There were a lot the whole time, But the show, I guess couldn't really do that for actor contract reasons, Like they were going to leave out a favorite character for a whole season. You're not gonna leave out Peter Dinklide for all the season. So with because I didn't read the books, so how

do how do fans of the books? How have they handled it over time with it being with it changing? I mean they pretty much. I mean the show is so well renowned, Like are they okay with it? I I haven't met any salty book people. I think most people respect that they're two different things. Well, they're also kind of very different in the sense that, like in the book, every chapter is through the perspective of a person, and I feel like that I'm not tripping right, Yeah,

every every chapter is through someone's perspective. So I think when you lift that, you already know like, Okay, this is going to be different because it has to be because in the book you're getting characters inner monologues that you're not going to get without creating some kind of dialogue in the show or um is someone who's chapter it is will get a raven from somewhere else that something just happened, and in the series we actually see that.

So I think that there's a lot of things that the series does really well that the books, uh maybe don't do as well, and vice versa. So I would argue there's a reason to both read the books and watch the show. Like a lot of people are like, oh, once the show's over, why would you go back and read the books? But I think that they're different enough. Yeah. I don't know how y'all feel about that, But I loved reading, so I typically do, and that's why I

haven't watched the shows. I like to read the books first then watch the show because when I when I watch first, then the show paints my brains picture versus like, you know, it's fun seeing like, oh, that's not how I imagine Ned looking, That's not how I imagine. Like Ned was thicker in the in the show than he was in my head, him being this ice kind of older guy out. I almost had him in my head as like a frail guy and like almost like you know,

in my head because he's from a forgotten time. The and it's proven as such by the end of book one. So to see, you know, the actor be a little more burly. I was like, Oh, that's interesting. I don't know. I wouldn't mind reading book one having Jason Momoa in my head. It's very to say. I can't paint a better picture than God did. I really liked call Drogo and Danny's wedding night in the books much better I liked it in this series. That was one of the

big discrepancy. Yeah, that's true. Um So moving on to season three, pretty brutal, pretty brutal. No, just the red wedding, No big deal. So yeah, Season three brings the Red Wedding, which I think was another moment for people, like Ned's execution, where you're like, oh man, they can totally slaughter all the guys and wherever I thought this story was going, yes it's not. Oh boy. That was one of the

most there's nothing better than your book smugness. You know when when that because like everyone who read the book knew it was coming, and so like when people were freaking out over like Nettles, you ain't even ready, you ain't even right, because even in the book it's so it really I didn't. I'd never watch Red Redding. I only reading it. It really said, it's you up. You really think, oh, this is the moment they're coming together, We're about the Vultron and take over and everything just

goes south. Had pass. Yeah, And I imagine the show set the same thing up, especially because once again though, the I think the popularity of Game of Thrones is it subverts our expectation of how heroes fight villains and how it's supposed to work, and the Red Wedding is one of the biggest brutal I think it's so cool though, that will ever be in pop culture history, right unless you red wedding, even if you're not a game of throat, like you know what it's from and you know what

it stands for, like what it means. I just think that's so cool to have like forever altered film and media or like media history. Yeah, the Red Wedding is a big freaking deal, and I do think that it hit all the show hatchers by sermon. It was super fun to be how many people like I'm never watching,

like you ever watching again? I was actually watching it with Meg Tourney, who I don't know if either of you know Meg, But she was one of my old co host on Source fed Nerd and she hadn't read the books and I had, and so we're watching it and she's like on her phone and I'm like, hey, hey, pay attention right now, pay attention. You're gonna want to see this. And I wish that I had figured reaction because she lost her mind. Um, but yeah, that's that's

how everyaly was. And I giggled like a fool watching people's reactions online because well, because I went through it too. I went years earlier when I read it. In the books, there is always something too of like reading something shocking because you're like turn page, Oh my god, what turn the page. What is this? I remember reading it when I was on lunch break from a job and I was like almost at the end of my thirty minutes, and I was like, no, no, I must keep reading.

Not done yet. And I really want to touch on what Danny said, because I think that is true. That is such a big moment, and it's something that when you can have one phrase or one word that will let everyone know, like people who probably don't even want Game of Thrones know what the Red Wedding was because it just blew up the internet, so everyone had to find out what this thing was. Uh, And moments like that are interesting because like I never watched the Star

Wars trilogy growing up. I just you know, that just wasn't nothing. My dad showed me because he never cared about it, and I watched it maybe five or six years ago, and it was interesting watching the movie knowing everything that was gonna I knew that Darth Vader was Luke's father. I knew that, but to watch it play out, it was cool to even see things where I was like, oh, that's where that's from. Yeah, that is cool, that's super cool. What are two so wrapping up season three? I mean,

obviously the Red Wedding was like the biggest thing. What are a couple of other things that people need to remember from that season? I would say the other big thing that happened that season was Denia's Targarian overthrowing the Masters of Slavers Bay, getting the Unsullied Army um and

freeing slaves in all the different cities. So half not maybe not half of Danny's titles, but a lot of Denarius's titles came from the stuff she didn't you know, I love I'm upset like her wardrobe as it got, like you know, as she gained more and more power, and like as she grew as a woman, like all of that. I'm obsessed. Well, the wardrobe in Krth, where one of the places she was in season three, is supposed to be one booby out according to the books, but they didn't do it in the series, and I

was bummed. Well not just because I wanted to see movie, but also because like the big thing they talked about in Karth was like how the fashion was so different and people really cared about it, Like it had this like very different feel to it, which I think they did a good job capturing the series. But I was like, dude, where's the one booby out, because there's a whole thing where Denarius feels uncomfortable with it, but it's trying to fit in and it's it's like a cool growing moment.

But yeah, that's pretty much season three. Moving on the season four. Season four, the Purple Wedding. Now, so that is when Jeoffrey gets murder. Oh yeah, no, yeah, that's called the Purple Wedding. That one's that whatever the opposite feeling of the Red Wedding was was what I felt reading the Purple right, Like, yeah, I just was let me read into detail. This kid dying, I just yeah, it is horrible. Yeah, they really did get you to

hate a kid like for sure. Oh yeah, and and but like it was oh man, yeah it was so great. Our friend if you our friend Nick Ross looks so much like that, everybody would always send him pictures of it. Um, that's unfortunate because so many people hate that character. Yeah, I know, but this show does such a good job, especially later. Joffrey is one of the few exceptions in the series. You know, he doesn't look like Jeffrey. Sorry, Who's who takes over? Who's a kid that takes over? Oh?

I know what you're talking about? M yeah, little brother, Wait tommin hang on me. Comin had a few different actors, so it depends what seems when you're looking at Tom this last season. No, who's the other Like, he's like Jeoffrey. Why can't I think of it? Do some googling and

let us know. Yeah, So the Purple Wedding happens, and then everybody blames Tyrian for Jeoffrey's murder and then Tyrian's trial by combat happens, where we see the big Mountain Oberon deal which man over and Martell gets his head Squeeze said. That's another meme that goes, uh, I will not die this day said by a man who died that day. Oh man, that was great too, because that was a he really I mean he kind of the mountain got got as well. But like, that was a

very interesting fight to read. I kind of went and that's one of the ones I did go up to look because it was such a big moment in the books. For me, I was like, I kind of want to see how this plays out, and it was. It was done really well. I liked the choreography of that fight. They did do a great job. And then right after that, Tyrian escapes and murders Taiwan, and that's another moment for me.

I have to say, I don't I'm not going to spoil how they do it in the series for you if he um I liked it, this is another moment that I liked it in the books better. So it's not what the crossbow uh that is, yes, but the in the entire escape, there's a very specific conversation that happens in the books that is left out of between him and his father, between him and his lady, between

him and his brother. It happens differently in the series, and there are some things left out that I feel like are very crucial to Tyrian's motivation in the following. That's interesting. So, and I don't I'm always hesitant to say it and things because I'm like, what if, like in season eight they're going to drop that bomb of what that story was. I don't want to spoiled it forever.

Oh my god, the story. Oh yes, they took the story out totally out that because that that moment for me was my huge turning point on Tyrian my whole like, because like I always liked Tirian, but I always liked in the sense that I was like, you're a bad guy, but I like you. But that you understood his anguish, why he is the way he is, why he doesn't trust him, and why he doesn't really like his family. Yeah, that that doesn't exist in the series, which is weird

for me. But new knows. Maybe they will somehow drop that bomb in season But I can know why you don't. Yeah, I can see why you don't want to because yeah, if they do reveal, yeah, because I like you. When I read it, that was a huge moment for me. It really shifted my whole Like I went from like liking Terry and be like you're a little bad boy and you're gonna get yours yeah, but to this, like, oh,

you are hurting at all times. It is Tomin. Our friend Nick Ross, who was on our other our if he and I's original podcast, Krill in it Um sometimes looks just like Tomin and everybody would send him memes all season please continue. Well, Toman gets a spicy lady. So yeah. The other big thing in season four is the Battle of Castle Black. So when John goes north and pairs up with the wild Lings and they they are no, I'm sorry, it's the wild Lings verse. Everybody

at Castle Black. The wild Lings come down to the wall and have a big fight, and that's where we lose a GrITT from the series. Very sad for John. Um. But that's yeah, that's season four as well, and then season five we're moving along. Season five we have our hard Home Battle, which is what I was thinking of earlier, where it's John pairing up with the wild Wings to fight the Night King, which that is such an insanely well done battle scene, especially when you're like, oh my god,

this is TV. Oh my god, this is on TV. There's there's one thing I want to mention that's going on with uh, with John and with a lot of the h a lot of the Starks that you know, I don't know if it tracked as as well as it did in the books. You find out that the dire Wolves and the Starks are linked and that they they can control their dire Wolves because John doesn't quite use it, right he more you hear about it more in the books than you do in this series. Really,

that's one of the coolest things I know. So yeah, if you if you're watching the season, haven't read the books. They have a connection with their dire Wolves and they can That's that's kind of how one of the Starks stay alive, right because they're living as they in the series. There's a connection with them where like they're extra friendly. Um, but it's not like all the kids can work. Oh wow,

So it's it's this isn't again. One of the reasons why I'm like, if you're someone who loves the series, there are reasons to go back and read. Yeah, like there's stuff was super cool, super cool. Um yeah, absolutely super cool. Um let's see season five also, the sons of the Harvey attempt to over Deneris, but she escapes

on the back of a dragon. Yeah remember that, And that's like the I want to say, that's like maybe the first moment in the series where we get to see the grown up dragons like in their full glory, doing their full thing. And that was another huge like I can't believe they're doing this on a television budget. Now that being said, it's a gargantuan television for real, but they really did chat. I mean, they really have shown.

I can't think of another show that looks as good that it's doing as much, which is why, like if he said, you can't be mad for having dragons in the series because it took us so long to get the s Yeah, they had to prove the show was good enough to get that expanded budget. Wait, I just need to show you all this. Here's Tomin. Okay, here's our friend Nick Ross. Oh he definitely looks like isn't that funny? He needs to cosplay Tomin. I mean that would be the thing to do would the thing to do?

Let's see. Season five also has the high Sparrow, who's freaking terrifying in his own right, bringing the rule of the faith Eletant back to King's Landing, which totally back fires on cerci um Stanis. Oh god, this moment is season five to Stannis uh direction from Melissandra sacrifices Sharie. That was hard to watch. That was so hard to watch. It only prepared you for Infinity War. No, it didn't,

didn't know, it didn't be at all. Those people, all those people are coming back like there's no way they're getting rid of freaking Tom Holland. Well, and it's not like they were like, in order to defeat Fantos, we just have to burn you alive. As we watch, they like quietly went away in the dust. It was not the same much less. This was brutal. I mean, she eventually went away in dust, but it was brutal. And

about that was Stantis doesn't even win. After that, he dies and then something very tragic also happened at the end with our man John Snow. Oh yeah, yeah, John Snow. All of his brothers turn on him and they murder him, and then we start the next season just kidding. Season said that's Um, I mean, y'all all knew that. I guess that read the books, you know, I don't know because it wasn't gone that far. I was tripping out, which was why was the perfect Cliffhanker Because that doesn't

happen and none of us know that. And also so some of the timelines ended earlier like this, the show surpassed to the books in certain characters timelines in earlier seasons than it did in later seasons. Um, again, because you're doing POV from different characters. The timeline is very kind of gray and confusing in the books as opposed to the series. I mean it's kind of confusing in this series too. But yeah, we did not know that

was going to happen. Yeah fo show. Um. I mean people guessed because there were way too many fan theories about John being really important ending of the series to let John go so soon. But I think that's also why people were like, wait, what, like now all of my theories are out the window? Are you kidding? Yeah? But also in a fan base that is used to people being murdered and not coming back on like X Men or something, you come back, we know and DVZ

and all the like Marvel things. You're murdered. I think coming back this one was like, oh, so people didn't know, Um, we have to take a quick break. Then we're gonna break down the last final seasons and then kind of possibly the future and the prequel that's coming out. We will be right back and we're back. Yeah. Season six, they were like, oh, just kidding, we wouldn't do that to y'all. I mean we would, but um, we know

he's y'all's favorite. Well, I feel like, like, no, we would definitely do that to y'all, but we need to let you know how powerful Melessandra's Yeah, that too, Like that was that that. I feel like it was the big thing with that that she could bring him back, and that she was like, oh, he serves a greater purpose just so he could be murdered in the end. No, I'm just kidding, which I don't know what might happen. I mean maybe I don't know. Yeah, we'll get into

you that later. Yeah, we had heard of the Lord of Light resurrecting people before. Sir Beric dun Darien says he died I think five times and was resurrected by a red priest there of mirror. Um. So we'd heard of that happening before, but this is the first we've actually seen it with main characters. So that's crazy. Um, let's see what else happens. Then Alari San and the sand Snakes take over Dorn, which is one of the sidelines that I feel like when you're reading the book,

you're like, who cares? And it's fine, but it's integral of the overall stuff. Um. Denaris gets a death Rocky Army by burning down all the dudes. They're like, oh, no, you're in Excalisi. You have to live with the old ladies, and she's like, no, I do not excuse you. Um. That's a very good like woman power scene there. Um, we learn about hod Or why his name is hold or respects. Yeah, so sad, the hold or things the saddest. Um actually have a doorstop in my house that says

hold Or on it because I'm an awful person. But

it's so fun. Um. Yeah. So, and the hold Or Thing is a big deal, not only because it's devastatingly sad for hold Or, but also because it shows us that in the in the time loop, paradoxes that have now been introduced to the world of Game of Thrones that Brand cannot only travel back in time and see through people's eyes, he can also affect the past, which then affects the current timeline, which opens up a whole Pandora's box of theories moving forward for season eight, which

will get to in a second. Um, let's see what else. Marjorie and Tom and joined the Faith militant you're on, Gray Joy becomes a king of Iron Born, which you're on. Great Joy is the big piratey guy are The Battle of Bastards happens between Ramsey and John, which is another insanely awesome battle scene. Uh. And I think that all of us, we're so so thrilled when was defeated, even the little Finger is the one who really comes in and saves it. It's not John, it's little Finger. Yeah.

And just for you know, because I don't think we talked about little Finger yet that much. He's the most hard to read slippery character in these books because sometimes he's helping. Yeah, the Spider at least admits that he's in this gray area where he's like, you don't know who I'm helping. You. I'm sorry, I'm just I'm just making Yeah, don't brand no, no, don't no. I'm gonna

do what I want. But little Finger like has this like faux emotion that he shares for whoever he's helping, and then he screws that person over and then he shows this emotion, so you never like it really wears. Spider is very like obviously Neutra when you can watch him be neutral. Little Finger is so hard to read, but I love I always loved the character a little Finger because I was like, oh man, he is the mastermind of the chess game. Like all this politics that

we're seeing play out. Anything you think is happening by chance, it is not. It is happening because little Finger put an emotion to happen that way. Um. So he was always my like, oh man, who's playing the game the best, at least in the earlier seasons and in the books, which is why it blows your mind later when he comes to an untimely end um. But yes, we have

the Battle of Asteroid saved by little Finger. Cercy murders a whole bunch of people by blowing up the stept with wildfire, which is nuts, and then Tom and kills himself by your friend. Sorry, yes, uh. John becomes King in the North. Brand is now the three Eyed Raven, and he discovers that the whole Tower of Joy theory is confirmed, which I have to say, I don't know if you felt this way if he but as a book reader, that is a theory I had been wanting

to be confirmed for so long. So the Tower of Joy is the whole R plus L equals J theory. John's parentage, which is Raygar and are the actual parents of John. So like, when you're reading the books, you're like, it's probably isn't Ned's bastard, Like, let's just be honest. Everything we know about Ned probably not the case. And as you're going on, you're like, I bet he's a targe Arian. How could he be a tug area trying

to figure it out? Um, And so Brand goes back in time and sees that happen, and then to know that Ned kept that secret all those years, even though Catlin like hated him for it, and like, it's just such a huge moment where I think everyone online was freaking out. Our plus cell equals J confirmed, because Yeah, that was a big, big, big old theory. That's what I was like, God, I've been waiting like fifteen years for this theory. That was a huge deal. Um. And

then season seven our last season. What did you think of Season seven? What did I think of Season seven? Um? I mean it was spicy between John and Danny, so that had a little even weirder now that he's her nephews. Yeah, yeah, that's interesting, but I guess not uncommon for that time, which is the time that doesn't exist, but even for that time. Yeah, even in the book they were talking about how like they were all just it's this specifically

the Targarian family were just kept it in the family. Yeah, Targarians intermarried and that was pretty well known. But I think being raised a Stark, it's going to be real weird for John, and I think for Generes being raised elsewhere, it's probably gonna be super awkward for her too, even though they know that that's really how it goes. So season seven opens with a killer scene where Aria slaughters all of the phrase Yeah, revenge moved for the red one.

It felt so good, right, it does feel so good. Aria, who now wears many faces, um, such a cool so she like, nope, oubt, but still has the ability to wear many faces, yes, which is still a big question mark and kind of how all that went down, because yeah, they might want to come back for her question mark.

I don't know. I wasn't I'll be honest, I wasn't thrilled with how all that played out in the series, and we hadn't really seen all of that in the books, Like I was expecting to get more of a payoff or something that made a little bit more sense out of that whole adventure, but instead it just seems like she came away with it. Like, Okay, so I'm not a priest for you guys, but I still can be a many faced assassin, which I have a question. So where did the books end? Where did where has it

left off? Was it back in season? It's different for each character. No, no, no, But okay, But because I was going to say, if if no one has any idea of what's going to happen in season eight, like because that no one hasn't, do you think he's going to come out with a book? He said he's going

to finish it. He originally told the showrunners. Here's how it all ends, Here's how I'm intending it all to end end, and they said they're just going to take different paths to get there, Okay, and then and then if people want to read the book, they can, even though they already know kind of what will happen. It's kind of like Scott Pilgrim because the the movie Wrapped came out before the final Scott Pilgrim book came out, so and and it seems like they kind of had

different endings but still kind of similar. Yeah, yeah, I mean, and that's the idea and all. I will definitely read the books because I think that they're different enough. And a lot of the excerpts that George rr Martin has released at this point are intentionally excerpts, where like someone who was killed off pretty early in the TV show is in the book excert moving forward. So we's like,

see it's different doing different things. Um, but let me bust through some of this because I knew we don't have a ton more time and I want to talk to future theories. Um, so already kills the phrase. Denaris returns to dragon Stone, Searcy aligns herself with Uron for a gift, which ends up being a Laurea sand and Yarra, who in the books is called Asha Um. John meets to Naris and they bound m brand Arian Sanza all very night in winter Fell, which is an amazing moment

if your team. Stark. Denaris takes out the Lanister Army Um and also finishes off House Charlie, meaning Sam is now in charge of House Charlie and he leaves his master training with Gilly and the baby, so things are looking cool for Sam. He also has discovered the legitimacy of the marriage of John's parents, which is huge because that means that John is the actual heir to the

Phone Boom, not Danny, which WHOA, That's gonna be a thing. Um. Cercy reveals that she's pregnant, which I still don't know if she was lying about or not. Uh. John assembles what they call the Magnificent Seven, which was Gendery torments Sir Jora Thoris of Sir Eric dun Darien and the Hound to go north and fight the batties up north. The Stark girls take out little Finger by little Finger bye bye. You were playing the game well until you

crossed Arians. Don't do that. Then Cold Hands Benjin, who was in the book's way before and we thought was completely taken out of the series. Ben Uncle ben jin Stark also called cold Hands in the book Saves not a good name. Benjin Stark is his name. But yeah, after because he's killed by the White name, you're creepy, uncle, Sorry, go ahead. He's killed by the Whites and then brought back by the children of the Forest, so he's allowed

to be creepy because he is essentially Uncle Zombie. Um. So yeah, then he arrives and we're all like what um, And then we get an ice dragon. Vissarian is killed in battle and then resurrected by the Night King, which is crazy, and then the Ice Dragon makes it so that the Night King can preach the law. The Army of the Dead passes through Um and Searcy at this

time claims to make a false alliance will. She tries to make an alliance with U, Denaris and John, saying Okay, let's put our war on a truth so we can deal with the problems up north. And then she confides in Jamie that she actually has no intention of doing that. When they all go north, She's just gonna take the Seven Kingdom? Is this just me? Does anyone like Searcy like our people sec fans, Yes, because people because Searcy has been through so much, because she kind of has

been shafted and underestimated just her whole life. She's had a whack husband and then like you know, no one trusted her to run the kingdom for her son, and always everyone has tried to use her. So I think the moment when the wildfire stuff happened, then it was like, oh, snap, she she's kind of great. And then I think when the shame dude came, you're you're right, You're It humbled

her in a way that everyone was on her. So as a teenager, she was troubled by someone that could foresee the future that all of her children are going to die. Yeah, so she's holding onto that her whole journey to This series does a really good job of painting both positive and negative layers all of our characters, so you don't really there aren't any true villains in the series, with the exception of Ramsay and Joffrey. Are

any of her children alive? What happened to uh Tommins twin sister, So Marcella was killed by Alaria sand with poison poison kiss oh yeah, to get back at Cercy or Oberon Skull crushy death, so her children have all all that. Tomin's the last to go was so then you're like, oh, man, Sarcy is really really off the deep end now, but you understand it, yeah, like she has been through it and and she does play the

game really well. Also, what's interesting about the series and kind of, uh, what's happening now is this book, you know, talks in past tense of all these like you know, named figures that all have this weird thing like that, you know, the Fire King, the Mad King, and you when you read about it, you're like, how do you even get those names? And then you get to watch how these things happen. You know why Searcy is the

mad Queen. She's just lost all her children. You'll know why, you know, Like it's it all kind of like makes sense, which is why, like I think that one of two things might happen. One I think John takes the throne. Everything resets because now Tarjarian is back at the throne and it basically resets to the old time. Dragons exist again. We're back in and or some apocalypse happened and we find out that this is just a cycle, like you have your summer, you have your fall, you have your winter,

and then it rents repeats every season. That's what That's what we keep hearing from the Masters is that there have been winters before and they all came to an end and there was a summer and everybody stopped freaking out. Essentially, Um, but I mean, now we're going into the final season. We only have six episodes, but they have said some of them are going to be as long as eighty minute long episodes, So a fewer episodes, but they'll be

longer starting April four. And uh yeah, I mean there's a lot of theories and what some people have as expectations for what this season could entail. Do either of you have any theories or guesses of what you think John's taking it all? And I think John's taking it all and it's gonna reset or we're gonna have one huge apocalyptic event. And my big hill, Mary, is that Brand's gonna go back in time and Ned starts going to say no, I don't want to go to King's

Landing and nothing happen. What may they're going to be able to defend it because Ned because remember NED believed in protecting the wall, so they'll they'll defend it because Ned will send the required forces. It's just gonna reset everything where it's just gonna be like, you remember what

was that one I forget? It was a horror movie where like every time you made a wish it would go bad and then like you were tortured in the end of the movie where she was like, I wish that one driver wasn't drunk on the job and nothing ever happened. I mean, we could have something like that. There's a big theory that Brand is actually the Night King because he tries to go back in time to be the guy that is the guy that's turned into the Night King UM and then get stuck in that

body and turn in the Night King. So there's two brands coexisting simultaneously. But we have no reason to believe that two brands can coexist simultaneously, which is kind of the debunk for that theory, if you will. But there's a lot of people in the Brand is the Night King camp or that brand is going to become the Night King um because why is the Night King so intent on killing the Three Eyed Raven? We don't know.

I just don't want anything to happen to Danny. I feel very connected to her as we share the same name, and I played her in a Game of Thrones roast at Meltdown, which I think might be up on YouTube somewhere. But I wanted to talk about the prequel that's coming out. We don't know very much about it. We know Naomi Watts, isn't it right, Yeah, that's it that. I mean, that's really all we know about it is that it's a prequel.

There's going to be spinoff series. It's going to be a prequel, So it could we don't know when it's set place or no. I mean, it could be dealing with any of the stuff in the past. It could be dealing with the children of the Forest back in their heyday. Could be the turning of the Night King originally, it could be um the Targarian rise to the throne. Like, we have no idea, Uh, we just know there's a lot. I think George R. Martina said, there's many many stories

in wester Ros, so we'll see which one gets told. Um. So yeah, that's what we know about the prequel. But at this point, I mean, everybody I I think the things that I'm expecting. These aren't my tinfoil hat theories. These are like things that I think will probably happen. Um. I think John's going to figure out his parentage. Sam will probably either Sam and Brands some combination. If that

will happen, it will be super awkward for John and denari. Um. But then maybe John will ride a dragon knowing that he's a Targarian, which would be very cool. Um, a song of Ice and Fire, get it. That's a thing I didn't want to say because we always have somebody that writes us and it is like these are spoilers. No, like, literally none of us have seen it and nobody so these are just what what Tricia thinks could possibly happen, but also could not happen at all. I have zero inside. No,

please don't write us. That happened too with Captain Marvel, And I'm like, we literally haven't seen it. We have no idea. We're just going off of our current what we think might happen. We're just having a little fun with some prediction. We're just playing around. I I also wonder if maybe Searcy will eat it this season. Oh, I am so ready. I am not a Searcy fan, okay, but that's who do you think is going to be

the bearer? Because people are saying maybe it might be Jamie. Oh, I could totally see that a poetic I could totally see that happening, right, absolutely. I don't know why I did not connect to Searcy the way that other people did. I'm like, when is she When is her turn? Though I think people respect Sarcy's ambition, I don't know that anyone likes Searcy like, I don't know that anyone's like, oh yeah, I hope Cercy takes it all. And I mean what she did that would be such a middle finger,

like if oh man, Okay, anyways, I'm very ready. I'm sorry, Searcy, You've you've done your time where I'm ready for you to tap out. I also think they keep hinting at Denera's being pregnant after our so that might be a thing they don't protection they're using. Um And I do think are you will at least murder one other person off her kill list? Oh? I think she's I think she's definitely. Yeah, that's that's what's going to complete that. Yeah, so it could be. The people still on her kill

list are the Hound, Searcy. Oh, and her kill list is different the series than in the books. Um, Searcy, the Hound, the Mountain, ill In Payne, Melissandra, and Barrack Dundarian are the people still in her kill list in the show. Um, there's extra characters that have been cut out of the series that are on her kill list in the books. Um. So yeah, those are the things

that I'm like expecting to happen. But other than that, like the big question everyone's asking is who do you think is going to finish sitting on the Iron Throne? And I legit have no idea. What if it's not somebody that one of the main characters. I think they're going to burn the Iron Throne. They're going to destroy it. Well, the Iron Throne is already melded weapons. I think they're gonna Denis is going to have a dragon just flame it till it melts. That's what they say. That's how

they say it was made in the first place. Was the swords of the enemies melted by dragonfire? How that which is pretty awesome. I keep trying to find ways to destroy and you keep making I don't know. I feel like John and Danny might get married and rolled together. That might be a night, but that would be a nice resolution is not known. Oh no, good bye, no idea. Um,

but yeah, tinfoil hat theories that are out there. Brand is the night King is a big one, or the brand travel back in time and was the original brand the Builder or both? Um. I like the belief that Tyrian is actually a Targarian as well, but as we go on, there's less to prove that that more viable

about a season or two ago. But his dad, Tywan does say lots of stuff like you are no son of mine right, like there are things dropped in there that it could be the case, um and the and he also the dragon did not go after him the first time he had a dragon, which is another big targe Arean thing. So that that's total tinfoil hot um. And then a lot of people online I was reading recently that think mirro Read and John Snow are twins

and it maybe mirro Read is also a targe arean. Um. I am not super in that camp, but there are definitely people online that are. It's so funny. I'm reading an article from Rotten tomatoes. That's like breaking down the timeline, and people commented, why did you use BC. That's like a totally different that doesn't exist, that's not in this timeline. Um, yeah, the Three Wise Men show up, and um, that's what

I think. My guess is that probably because I've seen people use a C when they're talking about Game of Thrones and I always wondered what that was? After what what that? The Dragon time is apparently the timeline we're working off of. Well, we did it. We broke it down. I tried. There's so much information, of course, Yeah, and we can't. I mean, there's entire podcast dedicated to this show. So we hope that was a good refresher going into

because a few people have tweeted me asking me. The way you do this for your free sub is if you already have Amazon Prime and you have a Twitch account or not, you can make a Twitch account. You then can connect your Amazon Prime account with your Twitch account and you get one free sub to give to me every month. You have to come back and do it every month, and it doesn't auto renew. Only if you paid cash then you can like pay a rent repeat and then when you don't have five dollars to spare,

feel free to cancel that. Uh. But also, most importantly more than anything, we have the discord uh so Discord dot g G slash Salt Squad. We have a ton of different nerdificent rooms in there. Lots of people get their Flackery goes ahead and drops the footnotes in there for you to click.
