Condal just gets it. I have enormous faith in him to deliver. Might not please everyone but have total faith that he will land the plane and continue making something great.

[@tobydorman3998]

Still think this?

[@Divine_Chareka]

Super excited for the second season, Ryan Condal has done an amazing job with the show so far.

[@jimmybones4299]

How cool is it that Ryan came on a die hard fan show to begin with, then gave actual answers of substance? Well done. Can't wait for the season to start

[@JeremyIceAndFire33]

"Flight hours in the cockpit" lol we really lucked out getting Ryan Condal for Showrunner! I love how he's paying extra attention to the little things like Dragonbonding, Dragonkeepers & Valyrian Steel. Great interview!!

[@M0rganKane]

This podcast does such a huge service to the community! Thank you and congratulations on interviewing Condall, it's not often he's interviewed by people who knows the material this well.

[@ohhhmindy4380]

I love that he watches / listens to your content. You guys are the real OG’s of the fandom and that’s so under-appreciated amidst all the noise.

[@annkelly0072]

What a huge W for you guys! Super exciting to have such a huge part of HoTD on your show. Great interview! There's another YT channel that would review The Last Kingdom & had a number of interviews with the cast. You guys should absolutely try to interview cast members! Congrats on the interview!

[@JLchevz]

Fantastic. Always a pleasure to hear Ryan Condal speak about Westeros and his show.

[@jimsty7550]

I love Me. Condal's love and passion for these stories. You can tell how much more committed he is to the source material than D&D ever were!!

[@oswinhull4203]

HoTD has been so good. Props to Condal.

I'm feeling its going to be fabulous seeing Georges imagination finally coming to fruition ❤ thank you Ryan Condall. Thank you George.

Yeah, thank you George for doing everything under the sun EXCEPT writing Winds of Winter…..😢😓🙄

Excellent interview! Ryan is definitely on it. Great work guys!

[@robertpotwin]

That’s a great interview! I love the enthusiasm for the world, the material, etc. I can’t wait for season 2…Ryan C. always makes me feel like we’re in good hands.

[@JDNization]

Ryan saying that like Rhaenyra, Syrax has to take on the role of being an emblem of the crown. Basically become Queen Dragon herself. Ryan's the right guy for the job.

[@jackelinevalladares7118]

Syrax's design is very regal even though she's petite

[@josephbulkin9222]

@@jackelinevalladares7118 petite? I thought she was LARGE.

[@wonderer78]

@@josephbulkin9222compared to some and of course the human characters but in comparison to a lot of other dragons she’s smaller

[@JBleauOst]

I had the same thought. You can feel the passion and deep understanding he has for the source material and the world. I’m so glad he’s piloting this ship

[@korinnastricke558]

Love the new graphics. The music continues to get me pumped for the both the show and your content. You interview so well and love that unlike so many others you let the interviewee speak without constant interruption. You guys are the best. X

Glad to be back!❤

[@beeztrapp1612]

Yasssss!!!! So happy you got this interview!!!

[@A1B2C3D4E5F-c]

Awesome interview

[@Goldenaerrows]

I definitely want to see Daemon’s relationship with his children more on screen. I’ve seen some of the reviews so far and seems like it’s still not being portrayed. His kids survive the war, so seems like it should be a good idea to create some form of relationship between them since the house is falling yet they are the future of the house. Baela was the closest to him but she was raised by Rhaenys and Rhaenys doesn’t seem to like Daemon. Rhaena is ignored by him, so I’d like to see if that’s changed and I would love a set up for her future as the last dragon rider during this era. Aegon is future king and ends up hating dragons. Very interesting! I also want Nettles introduced very badly.

[@vanessalore9942]

It doesn’t look good for the Baela Rhaena connection. I just don’t get it

[@angryyoungman66]

Good luck with that when you have director like Ryan condol , you'll see Daemon ignoring his dautghers and having sex with his own mom

[@A1B2C3D4E5F-c]

One of the best interviews

[@BloodyScottBlackwood]

Such a great interview! I'm so excited for you two. Loved the question about the sapphic relationships Ashaya!

Well that completely eye drama action ... was pretty cool. Given I've not touched base with your channel in at least 5 yrs. Super excited for s2 of hotd. Even more glad finally see u guys again 🙂😀😁

Ok....that intro was really dope! I'm super hyped now. Season 2 LETS GO!

Wooohooooo Ryan! 👏👏👏👏

Wtf...is this the best intro ever??????? I reserve the e-right to mayhaps comment again after I watch the rest...but WoW on this intro!!!

[@dragonstonefirechief]

Thank you. Amazing

[@KarlKarsnark]

Another EPIC! interview. I can't wait for the expanded Hellena bits and it sounds like the dragons are going to be worth the wait, especially with the added economic/feeding aspects. "An army marches on its stomach." -Napoleon

[@Chu9947]

Just started the video but the intro is a banger.

[@ianalexander7305]

That 50 minutes just made me so happy 😊

[@ml.9417]

Amazing intro wow! It’s so captivating

[@blackeyedlily]

What a great new opening! Really gets one psyched to listen. I’m curious why you chose to use Aegon I on the coin instead of Aegon II, or Rhaenyra? 🔥⚔️🐉

[@MrProjectmayhem]

Great interview. I would have had to ask about Daeron though 😂

[@HistoryofWesteros]

we saw that he had answered questions about Daeron in a different interview (he said, rest assured he is not cut or something to that effect) so we didn't want to rehash given the limited time :) otherwise we definitely would have!

[@MrProjectmayhem]

@@HistoryofWesteros ah ok nice. I didn’t see that other interview. Here’s hoping he gets good screen time and doesn’t just show up later without any mention of him.

Thats awesome with blacksmith. They're in my family.

I had to look too far to find this comment lol that was my first thought too

[@micheleadennis2339]

Dameon is my favorite character and I loved his loyalty to his family Otto was scared of Dameon being King 👑 and he wanted his grandson on the throne but in the name of honor who would like the Greens 🥬 for betraying the King 👑?????? 😮backstabbing disrespect 🥵🐉👑🐉

[@aprilmae274]

Ok though but our Queen RheaRhea is wearing a necklace with 3 tiny coins. There's 3 coins on the wall over the fireplace in the same room Rhea and Laenor share in show. Toss a coin...green or black, it won't matter because the coin being flipped no real value. And it's hard to choose a side when all colors bleed.

[@KingEdwardMMVIII]

Did they ask why the ambiguity with Maelor and especially Daeron existing? Would have been the first question I asked!

[@mds2519]

no

The Sheppard confirmed for season 3 episode 22:30?! #sarcasm But it is interesting he mentioned episode 20 for a new character.

[@Chu9947]

Will you be interviewing George too ?

[@HistoryofWesteros]

We should have another chance to interview GRRM whenever Winds is announced, he's focused on the book!

[@manvirshergill1739]

​@HistoryofWesteros is he actually "focused" on the book though 😂😂😂

[@darrellhenry9152]

I like that he gave Visenya a shoutout. Ever since I read Fire and Blood I’ve been fascinated with Visenya and Rhaenys. They weren’t sovereign in the sense that Aegon could overrule them but he basically let them rule most of the time and they held more power than any other Queen(other than our hero Alysanne of course)

[@thewatcher2538]

should have asked about the lemon murial and larrys talking about plants that shouldn't grow in kings landing. missed opportunity.

[@vipersb1]

Blood and Cheese was totally botched. Not a good sign.

[@rageintothelight]

I don't understand why so many people are saying that?? It was brutal enough so not sure what else you want.

[@altxogershavelayers5166]

​@@rageintothelightPointless negativity beat into ppl by D&D's handling of the second half of the show & everyone jumping in with the same "enlightened" take, "show bad cuz show don't follow book". B&C, both in book and show has the same result with different details benefiting the changes made for the characters in the question (for the better)
