HOTD: A House of the Dragon Podcast - 510 – Mother’s Mercy – Instant Take

A.Ron and Jim have a lot to say about the season finale of Game of Thrones, episode 510, “Mother’s Mercy”. An episode that brought the boys around on a few plots, and featured cliffhangers stacked upon cliffhangers. We’ll have much more to say on the full featured cast, coming out on Tuesday, and we’ll also have a final SpoiLORE cast Friday. See you then!

HOTD: A House of the Dragon Podcast - 509 – The Dance of Dragons

A few days of reflection and a few more rewatches have not been any kinder to our memories of episode 509, entitled “The Dance of Dragons”… Arya’s subplot was uncharacteristically flat and obvious, Stannis is no longer the Mannis, things in Meereen were thrilling and epic but suffered from a bit of execution (too soon?) problems, and Dorne… well, it’s Dorne, which is an old Valyrian word for “crap”. Hopefully next week we’ll get a ray of sunshine as we finish of the series. Perhaps somebody will order a Code Red on Ramsay and his A Few Good Men? Or maybe Dany and Drogon will ride back in town, free the other two dragons, and Tyrion and a suddenly awesome Daario can take the skies together in a magical hour of fun and friendship! Either that, or characters we know and love will be brutalized before our eyes as we take emotional kick after emotional kick straight to the emotional crotch. Please sirs, can we have another?! Check back Friday for our SpoiLORE cast, were A.Ron will be moderating a debate consisting of “Stannis; the Monster that Betrayed Us All” versus “Stannis; We Probably Should Have Seen This Coming All Along”.

HOTD: A House of the Dragon Podcast - 509 – The Dance of Dragons – Instant Take

Find out what Jim and A.Ron thought about tonight’s penultimate episode of Game of Thrones season five, as they sit down to give their off the cuff thoughts and feelings. We’re both still reeling from Shireengate, so that might color aspects of our review. Will a few days (and a few rewatches) give us a change of heart? You won’t have to wait long to find out. We’ll be back Tuesday for our full coverage podcast with lots of your feedback! Talk to you then!

HOTD: A House of the Dragon Podcast - 508 – Hardhome

Jim and A.Ron are blown away by the latest Game of Thrones episode, number 508 entitled “Hardhome”… We discuss Arya’s mission, Cersei’s submission (or lack thereof), Ramsay’s 20 man commando team o’ doom, the surprise hit that is Dany and Tyrion non-traveling non-roadshow, what we can glean of White Walker culture from what very little we know, spend time meditating on the badassitude that is an angry giant, and A.Ron gets to engage in some rare future speculation since he has no idea what is going on anymore. All this, and your feedback, coming right at you. We’ll be back Friday with the SpoiLORE edition for this podcast, see you then!
