It would be nice if there would be a permanent weekly show with Gary and Ryan, this is really entertaining and i like their chemistry together.

[@basementbrotherscollectibles]

Ryan doesn’t watch and like enough things

[@walkir2662]

I'm shocked to find myself care about spoilers again. Not watching this.

[@Surethien]

Same here, can't watch this... at least, not yet. Savin' it for after, though.

[@d_randy]

Blood was actually already been casted back in Season 1. He’s the ginger gold cloak guy who’s really enthusiastic about maiming criminals with Daemon

[@seda6968]

Source? The guy from season 1 was a captain of the goldcloaks named Randyll Barret.

[@Viktorreznov1942]

He's the same guy who yells "SIIILEEEEEEENCE!" in the brothel right? He looks like the same actor.

[@Matthew.Wade27]

I just watched HotD over the weekend for the first time. I loved GoT. Then the last two seasons (especially the last five episodes) killed all interest I had in the property. But I’m glad I finally gave this a chance. It’s been really good so far. It’s nice to hear you guys talk about something you like for once. This is what the fandom and nerdom shit used to be about before they waged war on us.

[@michaelnewman4649]

I’ve heard that they completely removed Alicent from the equation, and also took away the part where Haelaena chose between her children..apparently Alicent is in bed with Criston Cole when it happens..not sure how I feel about it

[@thereader6667]

Fun fact: Cregan Stark Hour of the Wolf is based on Richard Duke of York, when the King of England was in a coma and all the court were taking the piss and they lost a huge part of France, (Richard was a big France campaigner) he came back from a campaign in Ireland and went to court. When he entered court he basically pulled out his sword and all the bishops and lords shat themselves and submitted. He then started hunting down and executing all the traitors to the crown. Edit : I should mention the king was in a coma because of his losses in France. 😂

[@jayson1geek479]

[@Fardawg]

54:01 I love Gary's explanation: "The guy gets his arm chopped off then with the other arm he pulls the guy into him and (using his other arm...?) stabs him in the gut." How many arms does the dude have!?

[@sherlockinsomniac]

Two. One that chopped with a sword, another to pull him in. The arm that then stabs in the gut is the same one that had the sword.

[@Fardawg]

@@sherlockinsomniac I don't think you get it. The way Gary said it, the guy who just had his arm chopped off used the one he still has to pull the other guy towards him, then he says that same guy stabs the dude he just pulled into him, and Gary uses the "missing arm" to make a stabbing motion. I assume the guy without the arm is not the one doing this in the book or that something else happens, but that's how Gary described it. To quote him exactly: "one guy gets his arm completely chopped off up to the shoulder, but with his other arm grabs the other twin and guts him (Gary uses the "missing arm" to make a stabbing motion while still holding the other arm out in the grabbing position)." That's one too many arms by my count.

[@thesundownersclub3983]

There are different versions of how they both died so we will see which one the show goes with

That stupid thumbnail is great. Makes me smile. The stream was good to. Thanks

[@ViolentMessiah666]

I know the Muppet Tully's are dumb but I get a laugh out of them for some reason. Not the first time he's done something like that either there's several nods/homages to other pop culture stuff in ASOIAF but he's usually way more subtle about it: In A Game of Thrones When Tyrion is travelling to the Wall with Jon & Benjen he thinks of the group as "a curious Fellowship" & there are 9 of them if you include Ghost. After Catlyn takes him hostage & they're travelling to the Vale 3 of the guys that go with them are Lharys, Kurleket & Mohor which is a nod to the 3 Stooges Larry, Curly & Mo. Someone asked him about it at a con way back in the early days (1999-2000ish) & he just laughed & said "ya got me", House Tor is a nod to Robert Jordan's publusher & Wun-Wun the giant being a nod to former New York Giant's #11 Phil Simms are just a few examples but there's a bunch more including nods to Blue Beetle, Green Arrow & Black Hood

[@championjdg]

Judgment of the Wolf The euphoria quickly wore off with the arrival of Lord Cregan Stark. Lord Cregan brought his army into the city and took control of it. He intended to continue hostilities by carrying out reprisals against the main supporters of Aegon II (Lannisters, Hightowers and Baratheons) in the name of the new king, the son of Rhaenyra, Prince Aegon. However, Lord Corlys had already sent envoys to Casterly Rock, Oldtown and Storm's End in order to negotiate peace. Cregan expected the terms to be rejected so the war could continue, because if the terms were accepted, attacking the former supporters of Aegon II would be considered as perjury and a breach of the King's Peace. Lord Cregan awaited six days, during which the Lord of Winterfell held the court in check thanks to his army. The Three Widows accepted the peace, preventing Lord Cregan from continuing hostilities.[3] Lord Cregan, however, still intended to do justice by condemning those who guilty of the regicide of Aegon II even by inaction. Lord Cregan arrested twenty-two men, including Lord Corlys Velaryon, Lord Larys Strong, Ser Perkin the Flea and Ser Gyles Belgrave of the Kingsguard. Intimidating the young Prince Aegon, he was named Hand of the King and presided over the trials.[3] Aegon was convinced by his half-sisters, Baela and Rhaena Targaryen, to restore Corlys to his office. To ensure the edict would stand, Alysanne Blackwood agreed to marry Cregan and Lord Velaryon thus avoided trial. Nineteen of the remaining accused agreed to take the black, while only Lord Larys and Ser Gyles accepted execution. Following the traditions of House Stark, Lord Cregan beheaded them both himself with Ice, the Valyrian steel greatsword of the family.[3]

[@UncleBernhard]

The other thing I love about this video is that Gary, when it comes to the serious stuff, you know, the nerd's nerd stuff, he invites Ryan! No messing around! Like in Pulp Fiction, when the going gets tough, they call The Wolf! That's Ryan! Getting the job done! Good!

[@jeffreym8503]

I'm pretty sure daemon doesn't just sit at harrenhal until the end in the books!..he is there for the taking of king's landing and is there for a little while before leaving with nettles to hunt for aemond

[@loveoffilm4327]

Um 🤓 actually it was Daenys the Dreamer not Rhaenys who foresaw the doom of Valyria. Also they are moving the capture of Kingslanding up in the timeline and Gullet next season Also Henry Cavill should play King Maekar he became King at 45!

[@leiana_yt]

My issue (& video rant) with Alicent is that Olivia Cooke was wasted as the actress bc we could've had a way more dynamic character IF they had stuck closer to the book. I liken Alicent in the books to Olenna...& could you IMAGINE that character fully realized in the show??! Especially since they are choosing to utilize Alicent/Rhaenyra more in the storyline. Instead we get this wishy-washy watered down version of Alicent. The writers want her to be a victim of Westerosi Patriarchy AND they also want her to be a "girl boss", but whenever they flip-flop between the two narratives, they have to severely dumb down Alicent 🙄 (episode 9 is a perfect example & the DUMBEST episode of the whole first season).

[@amandakushner8665]

because both of the writers cannot write women and they don’t want women to be villains, they just want them to be victim and the men to be the villains. I blame Sarah Hess for this and that dude Ryan.

[@jasonck9635]

I agree ! I noticed that they try to portray the main female leads as innocent and all their bad choices were forced upon them by men ! I instantly was upset with this ! But in the books the clearly are not the victims of circumstance ! But I knew there would be some propaganda in the show , since every piece of entertainment has some woke crap in it ! But however I was happy overall with the show ! I really wanted this show to be made so badly and at least it came out mostly good for me ! But I have to point out the things that clearly I didn’t like ! Hopefully they stick to fire and blood more consistently ! But one can only wish right !

[@leiana_yt]

@jasonck9635 I have my massive criticisms of HOTD show, but I also enjoyed the first season (more than I thought I would). There's things they get right, there's things they expand upon & it enhances the character (mainly King Viserys). I'm upset bc we could've gotten a SPECTACULAR show. Instead, we just get an "OK" show or "Enjoyable...bc hey, at least it's better than other crap that's been produced" show. I think it's ironic that they want to have this meta commentary about The Patriarchy/Misogyny/Sexism...& they dumb down all the females in the show 🙃 As for Season 2...I've read interviews by the cast & writers, also watched some interviews that have me very worried.

[@jasonck9635]

@@leiana_yt I agree that they did a great job with king Veserys ! That was actually done better then the book ! 🙌

[@vanessalore9942]

It’s so interesting peoples perspective on this. Innocence isn’t always good. It can make women look bad instead of the men. The way they write it is the most important thing. I think Rhaenyra will eventually come into her own, but I have no idea how they’re going to deal with Alicent. All I know is Ryan says they have arcs and they develop as characters. Be prepared for the women boss words from Rhaenys, but Daemon’s going to dress her down.

[@Lars.442]

Lets hope season 2 doesn't turn into HOT DEI

[@marlonestrella5054]

What was wrong with Valerio s being black? They closely resemble the African Contenant. So there isn't a big deal that they got curly muddy hair. JAMAICANS Have tbr same look. People from Pentos are Spanish looking like in the books, amd in the show thrh look straight up white americans from Verginia lol. WHEN YOU SAY DEI, changing something drastic to fit a political narrative fits the definition. Not because they have a few colored people that are from continents that have a similar cultural backgrounds. I have no problem with Coralys being black. I wouls have problems with ned stark suddenly turning brown....

[@discobroccoli198]

@Opener73 And Valyria is right next to there.

[@Viktorreznov1942]

​@discobroccoli198 Ever heard of Sicilians lol? Who cares anyway. You're coping too.

[@discobroccoli198]

@Opener73 My point is that they would be a big trade partner and since the Velaryons are sea voyagers, they would frequently be at Summer Isle ports mingling with the people there and even breeding with them.

[@Firenutz]

[@Fierce-s8h]

Nestle n’est pas intéressante 😅 on peut très bien la remplacer par baela et créer un arc avec Daemon et voir un autre visage de lui. Mais juste rajouter une pute à la série, juste pour dire Daemon a trouver une autre femme et abandonner ses enfants sa famille juste pour une femme ???? C’est ridicule pour moi ce sont des rumeurs ridicules. il y a déjà Mysaria 😅 le rôle de pute est déjà pris à ce niveau là 😂

[@vanessalore9942]

Emma and Olivia were kidding about too many men. Emma absolutely adores Matt and is grateful to him for taking her under his wing, so to speak. Not one of these women, even Eve Best, hate men. Man, I love great acting. It warms me up inside I

[@JTrys]

I think that they should have dealt with Cersi first and Danerys loses her sh*t in the process, but they win. Then as she's tunred mad, Jon snow has to deal with the night king and Danerys and he ends up killing her and drawing Lightbringer which he uses to kill the night king. it wouldve been bad a*s.

[@jaxzor]

i've red the book this week... basically until the dance starts (Season 2) the book is about the history of Aegon's conquest the struggles of his sons and the reign of Jaehaerys... once tha dance starts the story is told differently...you legit have 200 pages of wars, backstabs, people changing sides, lots of fire, and lots of blood... over all... very happy with the ending of the dance :D i think every season will have 1 major battle and 1 plot twist... 9:12 not really... he took Harrenhal, then he waited Mysaria to tell him when Aemond left with kings army from Kings lading... then he went and took kings landing with Rhaenyra, while Cole and Aemond marched to Harrenhal to find it empty xD they could also make Harrenhal bigger than it was... i think the show will end with Battle Above God's Eye, Dragon Stone event, Cregan delivering justice, and Aegon III coronation + wedding all of them in the last 3 episodes of the last season.

[@loveoffilm4327]

God's eye will be end of Season 3 I think. It happens shockingly early in the overall story

[@jaxzor]

@@loveoffilm4327 no it doesn't, it legit happens the chapter before Rhaenyra loses the King's Landing and the dragons to the mobs and flees to Dragonstone where Aegon waits her with Sunfire...basically (close to the end of the dance)... and since it's a show they can make it happen right before, in the same time or even after the death of Rhaenyra...nevertheless it will happen in the last season.

[@gig7932]

​@@loveoffilm4327i have a feeling season 3 will end with the treason at Tumbleton since there are battles which probably won't happen in season 2 like the battle of the gullet, battle at the honneywine, battle at the redfork and battle of the fishfeed.

[@jaxzor]

@@gig7932I think battle of the Gullet happens at the end of S2, Tumbleton at the end of S3 (since they are the 2 major battles of the dance)

[@gig7932]

@@jaxzor the reason I said this is because a lot of leakers have said nothing about the battle of the gullet. Also this season is 8 episodes.

1:04 Bran planting weirwood trees could have crazy implications. If he can use then to see anything happening at any time he can plant a seed and then see what the future weirwood is seeing..

[@mackmitchell94]

I think House Of The Dragon is gonna keep going and go into the reign of Aegon III, and the blackfyre rebellions. They’ll time jump between seasons. It’ll be the series that documents the history of the Targaryens

[@extraplain2412]

They could even do Roberts Rebellion eventually. With the Hedge Knight coming out as well the series will be different parts of history to puzzle together.

[@Dsrgreyy]

I’m not to worried. The first season did great I’ve watched it 3 times. I don’t mind a show start as long as the caliber of writing still holds up

[@lesserson2182]

I much prefer Mauler. Ryan is very one-note to me.

[@leiana_yt]

1:59:30 I think Daemon dies...eventually. There's supernatural elements tied to Daemon towards the end of his life, IMO. & the show has introduced some of it in Season 1: • His obsession with anything Valyrian, Targaryen & regarding Dragons... ^^which is interesting bc he criticized Viserys for his similar obsession, but maybe it's in WHAT they were choosing to focus on 🤷‍♀️ • He clearly came across 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 significant bc we see him utilize it in Episode 10 when he sings to Vermithor & something happens...what exactly, we don't know yet. I don't think Harrenhall being so pivotal in alot of the ASOIAF series is a coincidence. I don't think its proximity to the God's Eye/Isle of Faces is a coincidence either. & if you think about "sacrifices" of "kingly/royal blood" & MAGIC...what's more powerful than TWO dragons, one of which was the original dragons that conquered Westeros & TWO "male dragons" in Aemond/Daemon. Aemond was found still saddled to Vhagar. Caraxes crawled up on shore...perhaps Daemon did too but on the shore of the Isle/Faces, taken by the Green Men. Maybe the "Weirwood Net" comes into play bc of the ancient weirwoods there..? Anyways, it will depend on how the show wants to handle the supernatural elements of ASOIAF. They DO seem to be leaning into it more than GoT considering Haelaena & her Dragon Dreams, Daemon + his "true dragon/Targaryen-ness" & whatever went down w/ Vermithor. The Dragons 🐉 are clearly tied to the Prophecy & key to the defeat of the WWs. Again, I don't think it's a mistake that a Targaryen dragon-dreamer foresaw it & had dragons...& that when Dany "birthed" her dragons during the time of the Comet ☄️ (Prince who was promised Prophecy) all that WW activity gained momentum AND that one of those dragons is always likened to "Balerion, born again"... We'll see what the show does tho.

[@walkerlamebrain]

There's a rumor that cannibal was already in dragonstone before the targaryens even arrived & possibly older + bigger than vhagar. ~ I think it was a scorpion that took down verrax & jacerys. ~ I have to disagree. The war happens bcoz of the power hungry men & alicent who colluded with them. I don't care about Rhaenyra's 3 older sons being Harwin's. Bottom line: Viserys, Laenor & Coryls ~ the 3 men who mattered most when those kids were born, they all accepted jace, luce & joffrey = so even if they're biologically HALF strong, their legally acknowledged (legitimate) as Targaryens/Velaryons = so Laenor pretty much "adopted" them = his acceptance & allowing them to legally use his family name ~ that's all that matters at the end of the day... even irl adopted kids have equal rights as biological kids under existing laws. ~ true, the small folks don't matter, even in our present day, governments worldwide screwing over their own people 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♀️ ~ supposedly, according to others who've seen screeners, daemon's instructions are to "go get aemond" then B & C asks, "what if we don't find him?" That's when Daemon gives them a sly look, then the scene cuts to black... ~ agreed, i would've rather seen Arya kill cersei, so that jon still gets his night king kill.

Is it really a spoiler to hear someone was killed in this universe 😅

[@joematthews4952]

I think, if it was my call, I would end season two with the Balcks taking King's Landing. We then create that 180 switch. At the end of season 1, the Blacks look finished. They have lost the Luc, they have no allies of any importance, no financial backing, and no support. The Greens have the capital, a king crowned before the people with the lineage and signs of heritage, eg, Aegons criwn and Blackfyre, the government treasury, more troops, more allies, etc. Every advantage is with the Greens. By the end of season 2, we have flipped. The Blacks now have the capital, the treasury, and powerful allies. The Greens have lost popular support, the royal army has been destroyed, and Criston Cole has been killed. Now, the Blacks look unstoppable. I think it's a really good dichotomy and an interesting place to leave things.

But then I don't know near as much about the Hundred Years War, the Crusades, the War of Scottish Independence, the Thirty Years War, the American Revolution, the Civil War, World War 1, World War 2, or the War of the Roses (the York/Lancaster conflict which was the basis for the Stark/Lannister rivalry). Maybe I need to binge watch some old History Channel documentaries . . . starting with The Real History Behind Game of Thrones.

N+A=J is impossible. The timeline can't work. John would have to be significantly older than Rob if it happened at the tourney. Generally It's noticeable when a baby is older than another. R+L=J is certain, and Young Griff is most likely Ashara and the Mad Kings. Ashara was "dishonored" by someone who could get away with it when she is best friends with the princess, and her brother is best friend with the prince. Oh, and that brother is the best swordsman in the kingdom. No one, but the king gets away with that. Then she and the baby both die of screen right around when Ned is around. Ned just stormed away from kings landing because they killed Targaryan babies. So Ned shows up at Starfall with a baby just after his sister dies at the Tower she was held captive. He sees that she has a Targaryan baby. Well, he might mention that they are going to kill her baby and she should run away. Kind of explains why the Daines name their heir Ned and love the guy that killed their golden boy.

So she probably grew up on the Prequels like Star Wars Theory did. When I first saw AOTC initially during a midnight showing and the theater was packed, I did enjoy it. When we first saw Yoda fight, I believe it drew the loudest cheers I ever heard for a Star Wars movie. Attack of the Clones got worse to me when I saw it more at home. I’m not a fan of that conveyer belt scene with C-3PO. Then all the ugly visuals when we get to the last act with Jedis fighting these giant insects in some Roman colosseum. The love story between Anakin and Padmé also felt forced, awkward, and cheesy. AOTC is not the worst movie I’ve ever seen. I might actually hate Indiana Jones and the Dial of the Destiny more than it. Even the worst SW to me is better than say She-Hulk, Secret Invasion, and Quantumania. Other than that cool opening 15 minutes and some fun lines from Obi-Wan, it fell flat by the 2nd act. There’s only 7 live action SW projects worth seeing in my eyes and watch them in the time they’re based in….

There was the rumour going around (I believe started by KZbinr The Dragon Demands) that Nettles wasn't going to be in HotD. Preston Jacobs also talked about it in a video and I agree with him that it would be a big mistake to not have her in the show. Her story is very interesting and although George wrote some melanine diversity in the story by including her and that purpose is already served with the Velaryons, she does play a role in the story. We'll find out. I would actually like it if she'd been kept a secret from the scoopers.

Only concern is how s1 handled Aegon. In the book he is debauched, but also brave, with Stannis level determination in his claim. In the show he is Joffrey 2.0 who doesn’t want to be king. Might leave the ending coming out of nowhere without those traits.

[@havok6280]

Did you read the same book I did? Aegon didn't want the crown in the book. Cole had to convince him by telling him Rhaenrya would murder his siblings and his children.

[@amoryblaine5099]

@@havok6280 That’s the septons account. To me Aegon being bullied into the crown by Cole and Alicent seemed contrary to his later actions. He stays alive from spite and willpower after being burned and crippled. Could have easily given up when the war turned against him, but doesn’t. Being a sincere believer in his claim, but also lazy and needing the push from Cole for action is the other interpretation. As a history we don’t really get the detailed character motivations, but that is how I read it.

[@loveoffilm4327]

If I was never into GoT, is this a good series to get into? Just want to watch some fantasy show with dragons tbh, but I always stayed away because GoT went to shit before I even gave it a try

[@Seacai150]

GOT is still 100% worth watching. The last 2 seasons were disjointed and rushed but up to that point, just WOW. Some of the best story and battles I’ve ever seen in a fantasy show. House of the dragon s1 was incredible but it’s 200 years before GOT.

[@hi-q2261]

The dragons will have pink hair and their wings will be the color of the Rainbow. 🤨

Spoil me baby

[@GoonerDan14]

Why do they think rooks rest will be mid season? With 8 episodes and the trailers etc I don’t see us going past that battle in my opinion, I don’t think you can do the cough cough Jace bit until season 3 without rushing it.

[@ryankinel-rkoutpost1]

The Title of Episode 4 is Dance of the Dragons. So it's just hard to imagine that not being Rooks Rest, as long as they keep the basic timeline🤷‍♂

[@GoonerDan14]

@@ryankinel-rkoutpost1 Ah that’s fair episode 4 though to get to rooks rest seems so quick I just hope it doesn’t seem rushed although tbh the source material isn’t huge so maybe it’s just my imagination thinking it’s too much also with a bit of hope that they don’t kill Jace so soon after the him and Cregan bromance 😂

Actually am afraid of the opposite I hope they don’t stretch the show They are planning for 4 seasons with 3 season show while I don’t blame them because they want to show the battles however in order for them to do that they would have to stretch some story element

[@zelig1799]

I've not heard anything about the new season. I'm going to guess they heavily lean into the feminism that is the driving force of this show but only in the second half of the season; after the reviews come in.
