Lets revisit Arryk Cargyll's mission, recontextualize Aegon's hissy fit and Otto's scheming, and maybe splash in a little bit of Daemon that is shuffled around in the show as we cover the sections of Fire & Blood that are relevant to "Rhaenyra the Cruel."

The question at 1:35ish is ridiculous. This person needs to chill out. Why can't people accept that just because they don't like something, doesn't mean it's bad. The scene in question was fantastic, made complete sense thematically and added tonnes to the story.

So glad this feed came back. Please continue to do the books. My only negative feedback would be to try and match the show/books more. I am listening primarily for the books. It got me off my butt to re-read before Martin finally puts out the next one. I dont' like watching ahead in the show to keep up with your discussion on that while I'm further back in the book. either drop the show part or sync them up, maybe do a few chapters at a time for the book or only do the tv show every few weeks.

Hello Baldmove. You were wondering if there ever were other dragon-on-dragon battles. If memory serves, I can think of three movies, though The Long Night certainly has the longest scenes of dragons battling. The first Dungeons&Dragons movie has some scenes of red and gold dragons fighting and crashing into each other, poor movie though. The second Dragonheart movie has also baby gold and big red dueling. Last is Eragon, when the warlock summons a sort of ghost dragon and rides that into battle.

the fact that even these guys are in shock of the farce that was this ending really shows how bad the show ended up.

The dragon knew the throne cost Dany her life. Was not a great ending but the dragon melting the throne was pretty clear and obvious.

Dany went crazy just like her dad. Jaime killed Dany's dad because he went berzerk roasting everyone, and it's obviously a mental illness that runs in the family.
