- 1:38of our podcast, specifically for Castle Black episodes that, first of all,
- 1:42thank y'all, Thank y'all so much, and I appreciate that everyone was sounding
- 1:47alarms when these trailers dropped. When every time there's some type of Game of
- 1:49Thrones news, everybody's like, where's Castle Black? Do y'all? Are y'all
- 1:53seeing this? Are y'all hearing this? We see, we here, We
- 1:57are alive. Wake up, wake up, We are back, okay,
- 2:00and we want today, we want to absolutely make sure that we talk through
- 2:05this Game of Thrones, specifically the House of Dragons or House of the Dragons
- 2:10or whatever, you know, whatever thing we're gonna call it this year because
- 2:15black people don't care it's coming back soon. Do you know the dates of
- 2:19one is actually supposed to be coming back or is it just like summer?
- 2:22I think I said June fourteenth, June, and I could be mixing that
- 2:24up. This's been so many trailer drops that I'm like, bruh, right,
- 2:29and we'll double check. You'll double check that. But what hit us
- 2:31the most June sixteenth, June sixteenth, one six Okay, uh, is
- 2:37that like a day after June fifteenth at the Juneteenth? No, Juneteenth is
- 2:39nineteen, right, nineteenth? Okay, Well, I'm just gonna say that
- 2:43this is a celebration of Juneteenth just because but we are. I'm just saying.
- 2:49Listen, the trailer came out for the upcoming season, and they did
- 2:54us as solid and not only gave us like a phenomenal trailer to like get
- 2:59us excited it, they split it into two. So they split it into
- 3:02what's considered the Green trailer and the Black trailer. The green trailer obviously represents
- 3:08the high towers and their views and their perspectives. And then you have the
- 3:15black trailer, which represents our queen. And yes, we're biased right off
- 3:19Jump Street. Are black? Come on, come on, come on,
- 3:27y'all. But yes, the black trailer represents the the you know, Team
- 3:30Black and the perspective of a narrator carrion and all of that. So we
- 3:37watched both of these trailers a few times just to make sure we had enough
- 3:42understanding and thoughts and all that stuff. And I already said one majorly biased
- 3:46comment about our queen, But I do want to give the Greens a chance,
- 3:51I guess who day. I just want to know Who's I feel like,
- 3:55I'm like, is been gonna just be contrarian just to say like he's
- 3:59like, Yo, we loved Allison Alison. Yeah, listen, we'll see,
- 4:04but I'm sure it will be comedy. But we do have to do
- 4:08this properly and give full like critical analysis, okay, to both sides of
- 4:14the story and the trailer, and then obviously we're going to get these jokes
- 4:15off and say what we need to say. But in the Green trailer,
- 4:18as mentioned, it's from the perspective of Alison at High Tower and her team's
- 4:23views that Eggon should be king and allegedly it's a lie. But allegedly Visarah's
- 4:31told her apple Care told me that my son is the rightful successor and should
- 4:38be taking the throne, and that all ver Nara and her supporters want to
- 4:42do is fuck up the realm. They don't care about peace, they do
- 4:44not want peace, They just want problems always. So where let's just start
- 4:49from there? Just just watching this trailer, Like, what did you take
- 4:54away from it? The Green trailer that Allison is full of craft, but
- 4:58her daddy is the so he's the most full of it person in this whole
- 5:03series name of High Tower. What's his face? High Tower? I don't
- 5:08care because he is so he is so irrelevant that he had to make himself
- 5:13relevant soon as his friend died. Like, hell, are you playing this
- 5:16game? You know what I mean? Like you grew up with both of
- 5:19you had all both of them growing up together, you had all this happened.
- 5:24Then he marry your freaking daughters to the king, only for her to
- 5:26have his progeny when he's five thousand years old. And as soon as that
- 5:31man looks sickly, you're already scheming and telling everybody in the realm that only
- 5:35a boy can hear it. You can get out of my face. Lord
- 5:39house stunts and shows and a sir Otto High Tower. I should have remembered
- 5:43that because I didn't get to see my other aka Mulatto High Tower. But
- 5:49yeah, like it's I understand. Here's the thing. I understand people who
- 5:55are trying to look at this objectively and like, well, that's her husband,
- 6:00Visara's that was her husband that she she's been doing what, as she
- 6:04says in the trailer, I've done nothing but be loyal to my station.
- 6:09I gave all the babies. I did what I was supposed to do.
- 6:13I did right, and and I put my family first. It's only natural
- 6:16that my son Egon is the rifle successor. And she'd be king now,
- 6:25no, no, why is that a dope? Tell me? You know
- 6:30that the like the when you saw first season that she was sitting on again
- 6:34family dinner, Remember the family dinner whenever the boys was acting up, and
- 6:41then the goodfather like, uh, what's his face? Was it? They
- 6:46have so many of the same names, sat there and was like y'all,
- 6:50like, y'all gotta get it together. We can't be playing this stuff.
- 6:53He had, we had that big mama speech like we got it, We're
- 6:56family right together, blah blah blah. Then he ran prompt he died.
- 7:00But at the time it was like, y'all know that, y'all wilin Like
- 7:03whatever this man said publicly, when which is in which he did publicly declare
- 7:09his daughter? When did he go at the air? By the way,
- 7:12when did he say that publicly? He said that he was he was on
- 7:15the throne, When when everyone was up in the throne room right and he
- 7:17was his how did he has half mask on because the boy interiorating right when
- 7:24he was on his Vega ship. Yes, yes, yes, yes,
- 7:27I remember, so he said this publicly, but she is maintaining that.
- 7:30And remember because at that point it became a game of telephone that when the
- 7:34Sarah's was was was mumbling and going on in his sleep, in his dreams,
- 7:40he was he we from the viewers know he was talking about Rhaniera,
- 7:45But no, he wasn't in his dreams, because he had told so he
- 7:48was. He was out before Ala before Alison walked into the room. Yes,
- 7:54he Raniera had been in there. She had been talking with her daddy
- 7:57and he was still conscious and cognizant. He that conversation. They were big
- 8:01conversation. He was telling her about the lore of there's this prophecy and he's
- 8:05liked, he's been having dreams the whole season about this prophecy about like Agon
- 8:13and his return and him being able to rule the realms during the Great Night,
- 8:18which is like this like prophecy about like the White Walker's basically coming back.
- 8:22So he kept he keeps having these dreams about that, and so he
- 8:26told Raynier about it because he was like, it's no time for me to
- 8:31pass on this prophecy to you to make sure you safeguard it because you're going
- 8:35to be the heir and you need to make sure that you're ready should this
- 8:37happen during your reign. Correct. So when Homegirl comes in, he's still
- 8:41mumbling and jumbling about that agon. She's like, you're talking about my eggn
- 8:46and it's like, no, stop it. You're looking for any opportunity to
- 8:52insert your son in there when you are not even trying to listen to what
- 8:56this man is saying. This is elder abuse because this man is actually talking
- 9:00about something else. You just want to insert your a gun in that part.
- 9:03And that's when it comes to things like people. And this is just
- 9:05in general in real life, like when people turn narratives to or turn people's
- 9:13comments to fit their narrative. And that's what this feels like. It's like.
- 9:18And and again the argument for the argument for Allison will be, well,
- 9:22you know, she's in a very vulnerable space. She feels she's done
- 9:26the necessary, she's a she's been a great, a generous queen, and
- 9:31her husband is just merely giving her what she's been working for all this time,
- 9:35essentially, Right, what do you say to that, like, can
- 9:39you deny Allison that right that she yes, she is, she is twisting
- 9:45it to match. But it's also like she hasn't heard anything to the contrary,
- 9:48right except for that very public this way, And I'm really glad that
- 9:52you mentioned that. So why didn't that public expression of what Visarah says?
- 9:56Why is that not counting? Because her father had been scheming and plotting ahead
- 10:03of time to displace right near it as the person who would inherit because he
- 10:13doesn't believe and he's been working with the other men of the realm right to
- 10:18say that a woman should not inherit the throne. It can only be passed
- 10:22down by the mail line. And this all could have been avoided if King
- 10:28Vissaris would have simply kept it in his pants and had not left a miner
- 10:33and had these other children. Well that didn't happen, So now what so
- 10:39now we're here, So now now also in this trailer, in the green
- 10:43trailer, you have Agon who he he's very immature to me. He's very
- 10:50immature to me. He is playing up being a mistake, like he knows
- 10:54he's a mistake, and he is playing it up. He is just like,
- 10:56yes, I am the mistake mediocre. That's me take of a century,
- 11:01Like, yeah, he's mediocre. But it's also I'm concerned because my
- 11:05thing is when you're talking about a realm like this and all the implications and
- 11:09the backstabbing this and this and that, you need someone who is that has
- 11:13that. And I'm not saying age. I'm talking about the level of maturity
- 11:18and the level of understanding and not just simply power grasping like if you Because
- 11:24to me, Eggon, I mean he even says it he don't care about
- 11:26no damn peace like Allison was talking about woman, my husband was here,
- 11:30it was peaceful in the streets. And now re aerone's war. No,
- 11:33no, no, those are technically yours in war. Who did this and
- 11:37y'all wanted this and right, thank you? And then Eggon is is to
- 11:43just just throwing fuel to the fire because he's like, well, shit,
- 11:46if they want war, let there be war. And to me, it's
- 11:48it's almost flippant like he's taking it like it's a game and it doesn't matter.
- 11:52And that's why I also mean about lack of maturity. Well that's the
- 11:56thing too, is if you remember from season one he was brought again.
- 12:01This all would have been avoided had old Man simply kept the thing in his
- 12:05pants because in a lot in the Game of the World, but it's it's
- 12:09in real life too, like apparently, but like if he's because like think
- 12:13about it, like it's about like being present as a parent, right,
- 12:16And he was a present parent to Raniera. He was not a present parent
- 12:20to any of them kids that he had with Alison. He was like so
- 12:24already starting to get sick. He was already like not actively like even paying
- 12:30no mind to them, to him whatever the flaky skin, whatever the was
- 12:33going on. Yeah, like he was not like a present parent to them.
- 12:37And so all the things that like they needed to learn, like skill
- 12:39craft or whatever they learned. If they learned it, they learned it from
- 12:43their grandfather. And he didn't think He's one of those people who wants to
- 12:46be regent. He doesn't want them to lead the stuff. He wants to
- 12:48lead it. He wants to be the one who says what's policy. He
- 12:50wants to be the one engaging with people and building coalitions or whatever. So
- 12:56that means the boys, even though they'll be like in the King's council meeting
- 12:58ers or whatever. They're just like, I'm bored, and so for fun
- 13:01for them was them like going out and doing like you know, but they
- 13:07were they were like jouting or whatever their friends with their cut with their cousins
- 13:11or whatever, or their nephews or whatever. And whenever they kept getting one
- 13:16up by these younger boys because their father they was always down there, you
- 13:22know, with their father so strong, then they had they just started getting
- 13:24arrogant about well at least time Prince or you know what I mean, like
- 13:28yeah, that game. And Aimon, like if you look at first season,
- 13:31he every episode, every scene he gets, he's not thinking in a
- 13:37way of like let me like set an example, let me like act like
- 13:43I'm like I got this or whatever, like I'm ready to take on like
- 13:48the throne if it comes to me. He's very much playing I'm just a
- 13:52wealthy child doing what I will. And also, and I blame I did
- 13:56just blame Sarah's not being a present parent, but freaking Alison is also an
- 14:01awful mother and was like cauf you remember Alison with them boys. Alison was
- 14:07as good for oh, like do do the nurses have the kids? Are
- 14:11they taking they are alive, right, and then as soon as like they
- 14:16say something crazy, she'll smack them. So what they know from her is
- 14:18like physical violence. They don't know actual care and like and she was super
- 14:24young when she had them, so she didn't you know, it's what it
- 14:26all makes. They don't have a sense of conflict resolution. They don't and
- 14:31so like it's a tension seeking it's like feeling self righteous. It's like making
- 14:37sure that they have what they feel like they want. It's nothing about like
- 14:41the good of the realm. That's not a consideration. Hmm okay. And
- 14:48like I said, I opened it up with a bias comment, but it's
- 14:52just like I even after just in terms of how I felt watching like I
- 14:56had nothing for Alison and I had nothing for that family. And obviously it's
- 15:01harder as a viewer because you literally got to see everything from the outside perspective,
- 15:07from the chorus perspective right where where you see all the pieces being moved
- 15:11and you're yelling at the screen. That's not what that nig of Vissarah said.
- 15:15But here we are, right, and that's what happens, especially like
- 15:18that happens in real life where you have that as I mentioned a game of
- 15:20telephone, where it's just like, well, this fits my narrative and it
- 15:24can't be anything else, Like there's no way, and as I'm trying to
- 15:26understand, like I get it that that friendship has been gone, but like
- 15:31there's no part of Allison. That's just like recognizing the fact that they regards
- 15:35with her father and all these other people say there's no part of Alson.
- 15:37That's just like she know, she knows what Vessarah's had been saying all this
- 15:41time. She knows what he has said when he had court, when he
- 15:45held court with people. Why would now, all of a sudden on his
- 15:46deathbed, why would he do a one to eighty. I think she's resentful.
- 15:50I think there's an underlying resentment, and I feel like that's very apparent
- 15:54that she has underlying resentment for Verniers. But I think that resentment is tied
- 15:58to the man she married, respecting his daughter more than he respected her as
- 16:07his wife. Okay, I liked it. I like what you're saying.
- 16:12I understand what you're saying. She still piss pisses me off greatly. I
- 16:17don't care about the girl, but I try to. I try to understand,
- 16:19you try to understand, so then like what are so, what are
- 16:22we What are we gonna see from them this season? Right, obviously a
- 16:26lot of treachery, like her father is at the wheel. And that's another
- 16:30thing, like for all of this bullshit, Allison insane. She's still not
- 16:33in charge and she still never will be. She still has to but she
- 16:36always she never wanted. That's the part that bugs me the most. If
- 16:40you look at her characterization, like that first season, whenever they were both
- 16:44young, she never was the grasping for power type. She wasn't a surce.
- 16:48She wasn't like I'm looking, I'm I'm gonna prove a point to all
- 16:52the men around here that a woman can be in charge. She wasn't.
- 16:56She was not that. She was always just like kind of a support person.
- 17:00And I think that also the reason she has, Like she was the
- 17:03support to Rayniera, and it was whatever her father, her father started pushing
- 17:10her, Like whenever the old Queen died and he saw her, he kept
- 17:15seeing Alison in proximity to the king, And honestly, it didn't seem like
- 17:19Raynier, I mean like Alison was trying to get close to the king initially
- 17:23because she had like ulterior motives. It seemed like she just was trying to
- 17:27be a nice person. She did feel bad for him, and she was
- 17:30like spending time around him or whatever because she just enjoyed that time spent with
- 17:33him. For a second, he was more like hospitable as a father figure
- 17:38to her than her father was, so she it was like chill. And
- 17:44her father started picked up on that and was like, we're gonna play that
- 17:47right to our advantage. You're gonna get in his bed and you're gonna be
- 17:49queen. And as soon as she because she wants love from her father,
- 17:55she's obedient to him, right, so she that overrides her friendship to Rayniera
- 17:59and then all that happens. I don't know why common sense don't override her,
- 18:02because like she's for you, for you to say, I did everything
- 18:06I was supposed to do and d and you see how they do you?
- 18:08That you sa they did you like you see how they do you? So
- 18:11why are you not trying to make a difference and do something different and and
- 18:17and show them and one up? I feel like that that shows a lack
- 18:19of and one hand, I want to say it shows a lack of strength.
- 18:22On the other hand, I you know, you also feel like there's
- 18:26other ways to go about getting what you need. So I don't know,
- 18:30I feel like if in this like especially in this world that George R.
- 18:33And Martin wrote, basically, it's very it's very very mitogynistic. It's very
- 18:37much like a patriarchy is the like one in Holy Power. Yeah, and
- 18:41to me, Allison represents all the women who are complicit with like patriarchy,
- 18:48and they're like, I just want to survive. I don't want to be
- 18:51a squeaky will. I don't want any ation paid to me that's gonna like
- 18:55take They're gonna take me out. I'm gonna just do everything they tell me
- 18:57to do so that they don't f with me, just so I make it
- 19:03out here. Now. On the other side, we have the black Trailer,
- 19:07which, as mentioned our Queen Raniera, this is her perspective of where
- 19:12she is and let's remind everybody where shit is with her. Okay, this
- 19:19nigga aimed ain't his dragon anyway, ain't Luke and Luke's hracking okay? Uh?
- 19:29In which I I this is this is what kicks to me. That's
- 19:32what kicks off the Civil War and everything else going on, like besides,
- 19:36yes, besides the game of Telephone be Wrang, But but this that,
- 19:40this is, this is a catalyst a NeXT's event. Like there's no turning
- 19:45back from there. I think at the time both sides were just like again,
- 19:49like Auto Height Tower had lined things up to him that they had enough
- 19:56firepower to hold down the Red like the Dragon kings Landing. He's like,
- 20:03I got enough foul power where it's because of the location of kings Landing.
- 20:07It's like on the west side of West Rows. Okay, yes, And
- 20:15like like High Garden and High Tower Land is like old Town. It's not
- 20:18that far down. It's like a little it's a little further down south.
- 20:22So like he's like, I know which lords support like one High Tower like
- 20:29that are sworn to my house, but also who are anti men being ousted
- 20:36as the people who were sitting on a throat, right, so I can
- 20:38use that to my advantage and all of that right near on the other hand,
- 20:44was on I'm pregnant, I'm trying to have a child. I'm beefing
- 20:48with Homegirl because there's some I see Homegirls, she's got something else to say,
- 20:52yeah, her her son got stabbed in the eye. But right,
- 20:56right, but so one niggas get stabbed in the eye every day. This
- 20:59is thrones. Whatever he did, he die, But did you die?
- 21:04Is the question? And you didn't? You are right? You got the
- 21:06staff? Are you good that that, obviously, for clear reasons, is
- 21:11unforgivable what happened. But to me that that's truly the the what got the
- 21:15ball rolling in all this craziness and in this trailer. In the Black Trailer,
- 21:21she Rynera maintains that her father wanted her to be heir of the throne.
- 21:23We saw what he said publicly, We saw what he said, even
- 21:26like he had the whole conversation. And now regards of whether Allison knew Ranera
- 21:30was in there a few moments ago, she had this whole fucking conversation.
- 21:34The King vis Sarah's did not have this conversation with a god or none of
- 21:38his fuck ass children at all. He had this conversation with Reanera. Banera
- 21:44is the fave. Ranera is the heir. So it's just it's just a
- 21:51level of cognitive dissousness, dissonance you have to have. And I'm saying this
- 21:55from Alison's perspective, to just be like, despite everything that I've seen throughout
- 22:00my childhood, you know what I'm saying. It's not like Alison came out
- 22:03of nowhere, like she's been there for decades nowaday in their twenties now or
- 22:07something like that. So for you, but just four go all of that,
- 22:11it's just completely mind blowing to me. She's doing what her father wants,
- 22:18She's being the obedient woman. And Rayniera, like, that's the thing
- 22:22about if you're a woman upholding the patriarchy, any woman who is not upholding
- 22:27the patriarchy is a threat and it is a problem. Oh my god,
- 22:32and Raynier is that problem. And I love Rayniera for just being like I'm
- 22:36gonna be that problem, like it's the right way, Like it's exactly yeah,
- 22:40Like you are upholding the patriarchy of like a man successing me. However,
- 22:45the man who was here before my day told you that I was their
- 22:51So where's the patriarchy there? Like you're not gonna listen to the man who
- 22:53told you I was the air? What's no, This is when nepotism is
- 22:56supposed to happen, Like what is going on, big o' nepton is a
- 23:03big nepotism ble, like what are we doing? Okay? And then just
- 23:08contrary to what as I had mentioned, Egan's very immature. I still I
- 23:12believe like Vanera is mature. Vanera has been mature since she was a child,
- 23:17right and to her detriment and to you know, her her success,
- 23:22but she was also raised to be she was raised to be a leader.
- 23:26She was given the tools, and that's mentioned vis Sarah's told her things that
- 23:30he would never tell his his little step children, I know, but treated
- 23:37them like the grandkids. He don't care about them like you ever see have
- 23:41you ever we talked about this and y'all y'all just joining us and never heard
- 23:45of Castle Black. We encourage you to go back to the previous episodes of
- 23:48the last season so you can really understand, like what we're talking about.
- 23:52Vissarah's a nan hangout with his own children, his other children. I should
- 23:57say, born is where it's at, Okay, And I just how obvious
- 24:04gonna be? And I don't know, but I do want to continue on
- 24:07with with what we saw in this Black trailer and also what we saw on
- 24:11the other trail too, but just the prevalence of and is this this is
- 24:15considered the dance of the dragons or this this whole Civil war situation where everyone's
- 24:21coming out on a on a tool. You know, they're bringing out the
- 24:23tools, they bringing out the hammers. It's going nuts. Okay, this
- 24:26is dance of the dragon, all right. Uh. And as much craziness
- 24:32as as as we as this man is, you also got to commend uncle
- 24:36husband Damon that Nigga is the definition of rod or died, that Nigga is
- 24:42the general, is the right hand. And when I say, I screamed
- 24:47at the screen when he was like, our terms are very simple. You
- 24:51will renounce the false king. You'll bend the knee to your queen, or
- 24:55your house will burn. That's it. I just want to talk a about
- 25:00how everyone in the Green trailer and the Black trailer. Nobody looks happy.
- 25:07Everyone looks miserable, excep even Aggon with his crummy immature I'm here holding space
- 25:15but looked miserable as he was doing it. Damon gleeful because it's like and
- 25:22that's why I and as and as problematic as Damon. And yes we know
- 25:26I gravitate to people who are definitive and decisive and and he's just like,
- 25:33no, you're gonna do this or not, like it's not a conversation.
- 25:36And that's what I'm saying, Like I feel like with the Greens, it's
- 25:37always a conversation and oh oh oh, and I like no with him,
- 25:42Damon's just like, nah, nigga, you either understand who's in charge,
- 25:48who's the HBI C, or you don't and you will be eliminated. And
- 25:52why is that so hard to understand? And I think you was talking about
- 25:56it to me right before, about having that firepower to be able to say
- 26:00that, right, so, having enough dragon rioters, having enough dragons,
- 26:03and also having enough supporters behind you, because I know that's a problem and
- 26:07that's one of the problems from the last season that Ranera is supporting. She
- 26:11has support from certain houses, but it's it feels kind of shaky, and
- 26:15it's a it's a problem. I feel bad like the people I feel most
- 26:18bad for because you know, let's be completely clear here, these are all
- 26:23rich white folks having inbred problems right now, and that's that's it is what
- 26:30it is. But the real people who are the victim are the people of
- 26:34West Ros who are gonna be terrorized by these big old dragons, lasting crap
- 26:40to flame, just running up and down the streets, just everything's living.
- 26:44Like it's that's who's really gonna be the sufferers of this whole, Like like
- 26:51Saga's IM glad you've said that, because that even in superhero movies and things,
- 26:56we forget about the collateral damage, and you know, and we would
- 26:59do to colladal but these are lives, right, Like I even forgot that.
- 27:03I was like, damn, I forgot about the realm, and so
- 27:07did the Targarians. Like right now they're having this the in house war.
- 27:11There is a whole realm to govern. There are people who need resources that
- 27:15y'all are about to put a fire because Homeboy would not keep his penis in
- 27:21his pants after he became seventy. Like that's why we're all here, and
- 27:26that is so unfortunate. And I think another on that note of like the
- 27:30casualties of this. I keep one easter egg that I think I caught.
- 27:37I could be wrong because the guy looked a little bit bigger than the actors
- 27:41that I saw play them in the first season. But there are two brothers,
- 27:45the Cargills that end up on either side of the Blacks and the Greens,
- 27:51and they have a very tragic like trajectory being to win brothers who choose
- 27:56each the other side. And I'm like the cat like it is just like
- 28:00catastrophic, super sad, very tragic. Doesn't like what the story though,
- 28:07like what's gonna happen, It does because it inter relates to like whatever is
- 28:11like at the end of the day when everything is burned to a crisp,
- 28:15everything's down, and the people who are so left standing, they're so completely
- 28:18traumatized by all the crap they see that has happened to get them to the
- 28:23place where they're the survivors, and like it changes the way, like you
- 28:27know how this is like the most dragons we've seen in the rest of roots.
- 28:33There's a reason why that's a thing. There's a reason why Denari's was
- 28:36the only one with three dragon or the only person with dragons period, and
- 28:38then it was those three, Like there's a reason, and this is the
- 28:42herald of all that, this is what brings them all. This is this
- 28:45is dragon Ragnarok. Basically, this is the end of times, right,
- 28:48and everyone like I said, all the farmers and all the people are gonna
- 28:52fucking suffer because of it. Now, when we talk about the dragons right
- 28:57like because we were trying to get these together, because that's another thing.
- 29:00It's been how many years has been two three, two or three, so
- 29:04it's been a while since we've set these names on a daily basis. And
- 29:08like you do see a lot of the different players that are stole around and
- 29:11they're dragon, so like we do see Rainie and and then and again,
- 29:18remember I love what Rainie did, like when they this is during the coronation
- 29:22right when she I'm still mad she could have ended it right there. I
- 29:29could have said that I like that she popped out. But however, Comma,
- 29:33why did you just end ship right there? And I remember there was
- 29:37a good rea like like Ben may have said, like a particular reasons why
- 29:41she just because, I mean, at the end of the day, Renie
- 29:45was like, this is not my fire. I'm not really supposed to be
- 29:47up in this. But also they was like that what they had you locked
- 29:52up downstairs? The dragon had it locked up downstairs. That's not fighting flame
- 29:59words. Then what else is y'all gonna lock me me? You're gonna lock
- 30:03me. But she's she's remember she before she had she has said I want
- 30:10no parts, but she's gonna align. She's aligned with Venera right like.
- 30:14But if you notice from the trailer, that's because her husband is like,
- 30:21y'all gotta do something. Y'all buck up. They got they over here throwing
- 30:23hits and you're just taking them. We gotta buck up, got it together
- 30:26because he's in their coaching, so he's the one who makes the lions that
- 30:30way, she was trying to say out of it. He's like, nah,
- 30:33we're in here, okay. And she has meelists, which is this
- 30:37is a fire dragon. Yeah. And then and in convenient because her husband
- 30:41has no dragons. He has a fleet, right, he just has the
- 30:45largest fleet in the world, Like, he has the big ship fleet right
- 30:47right right, which can be burned by dragons. So this is right the
- 30:52Valarians. Uh. And then you have we have Beayla. Beyla is in
- 30:56the in the trailers, right al I love Yes, Well, she's someone
- 31:02teaser too. I think, Okay, the black girl running dragons, it's
- 31:04like my partial like part of my brand. I love black women dragons.
- 31:10Anytime I can see it, I'm here for it. And she was like
- 31:14she had a more face song like she but she looks happy, but she
- 31:18looked like she had she looked like she was about it, like she's like
- 31:21about to go to war. And who she rides? She rides Moon Dancer.
- 31:25Mm hmm okay. And are any of these tracks or is that just
- 31:30later when they talking about Denaris and stuff like you know how like Denaris,
- 31:33like there's a dragon that well it became a white walker basically it broke it
- 31:37breathed like blue flame and I used to and all this other stuff. Is
- 31:41that just something they did? Or are are these dragons were supposed to have
- 31:45different like pokemon? Like what That's what I'm trying to understand, Like besides
- 31:49the way they look and the size and all this other stuff like are they
- 31:52supposed to also have these different breathing powers and whatnot? Is this how to
- 31:56turn your dragon or not? No? So, like the main is that
- 32:00like in or at least in the in the's talking about some fire universe that
- 32:02was written as it was written. The only thing that looks like like so
- 32:08one that scene hasn't happened yet because we hadn't gotten that far in the series,
- 32:13if we ever get that far right, So that dragon zombie thing,
- 32:16if it does happen, it didn't happen in the books yet. Two,
- 32:21the only sign that we have of dragons that have a different set of power
- 32:27is like lore. It's like super like no one knows it, no one
- 32:30has proved it, and anyone has gone in that area. It's like an
- 32:32icey and Iceland Sea that's like far off away from West Ros, and there's
- 32:37tales that there are dragons there that have ice powers, but we don't know
- 32:42that for sure because they've never been documented and they've never come to where like
- 32:45the Master's write down, the storytelling or whatever. So okay, so it's
- 32:52it's possible, but it's not likely and it's never happened in West Rows history.
- 32:55So like, none of the dragons we probably will see will have that
- 32:59power. So we're just gonna see straight up carnage, you know, Melee
- 33:02fire all that stuff. I really, I mean now I'm like thinking,
- 33:07like I said, i keep getting these images of what happened to Luke Lucyrus,
- 33:10and I'm just like god damn, Like the way Eric's that was his
- 33:13dragon, the way he got in left. He barely had anything that floated
- 33:17down. It was just like, and this is another reason why that's so
- 33:22fucked. I mean, for obvious reasons, but it's so so so fuck
- 33:24Vernera didn't have nothing to bury. She had its clothes and pieces of dragon
- 33:30dragon wings, you know what I'm saying, and and and you know,
- 33:32the breasts and the dark met and white me like she had nothing. And
- 33:37it's just like the the the mental toll that that takes, like not only
- 33:45has your son been taken away from you and another dragon because you know that's
- 33:49deep in your heart as part of your DNA, but you have nothing to
- 33:53even grasp onto physically, like nothing physical to bury, bury, nothing to
- 33:58have it. I mean you can build an all her, I guess,
- 34:00but there's just nothing to there's nothing to honor. There's literally nothing. You
- 34:05can't even make ashes. I wish I could say that would be the last
- 34:08time we see something that uh vivid with the dragons, but it's not.
- 34:15And I will also say that I feel bad for like thinking about Rinier and
- 34:20where she's sitting in that Like she just said that boy that goes and she
- 34:23he begged her for the chance he did take a letter because he was supposed
- 34:30to be a messenger. Literally, don't shoot the messenger. He got shot
- 34:32like that he got They got crazy, it is, and it was only
- 34:37because they did not know that his a whole freaking uncle was there already.
- 34:46If he hadn't have been at the timing, had just been slightly better,
- 34:51that would it would have never gotten that way. But because it and we
- 34:53were talking about that episode, how like Amon like he didn't seem like he
- 34:57was ready will to happen. He was a he was like, he was
- 35:00like he had to. He was like I he was. He's like,
- 35:04that's why you should not be honest, big old dragon. The old dragons
- 35:08are like you have to have a kind of freaking rapport with them. And
- 35:12the older they get, the lesson they listen to you because they've already had
- 35:15their dragon writers that they were writer or die for. You're just another one,
- 35:19you know what I mean, You haven't. You have to built out
- 35:21that relationship. He hadn't built that out yet, and so that big Dragon
- 35:24was like, I'm just irritated, I'm gonna I'm gonna eat, and that's
- 35:28what he did. And I think because Aimon didn't like initially didn't want that
- 35:32ship. I will be fair and say I remember that, and Amon was
- 35:36shocked, and like you said, the dragon wasn't listening. He didn't.
- 35:38He didn't go there to turn Luke into a snack. He was already there,
- 35:43to be honest, he was there, and then yeah, he was
- 35:46there, and then Luke popped in and he was like, oh, it's
- 35:49time to bully my freaking to bully my cousin or whatever he is cousin,
- 35:53cousin, nephew. It's not and it's not. It's all slashes like he's
- 35:59they're all that's my grandmother's sister what like, it's all it's strange. But
- 36:07like I said, I will give that fairness that yes, that wasn't his
- 36:09intent. But it's also like how stupid can you be? And why was
- 36:14you fucking there in the first place? Just to fuck with Luke? You
- 36:16understand. So that's the maturity, That's what I want to say. That
- 36:20Like that goes again to what I was saying earlier about Vicaria's not making sure
- 36:23them children was taught, like why weren't they getting dragon law lessons? More
- 36:28like stuff you learn like why you don't want to go up against someone and
- 36:31cause you would have learned this, like it's hard to train a big old
- 36:35dragon. You don't uh, you can't tell a dog an old dog new
- 36:39tricks can do that as a dragon. Yeah, And and I like how
- 36:45you mentioned earlier just the fact that as little cousins fight, play fighting whatever,
- 36:49like, like it became more adversarial as they got older. And because
- 36:52they are they weren't they didn't have the proper guidance that everything their intent,
- 36:59like even it may not be their initial intent and always ends up negative,
- 37:02like everything that they do or touch and ends up causing a problem. And
- 37:07and you know, I feel like on the other side, like when you
- 37:10looked at Luke and Jays like they innocent, they knew their daddy's love.
- 37:17What's ash ketch him just going out in the world as a ten year old
- 37:21with his pokemonel Look what happened? Like I just see not come and remember
- 37:25it. And now I'm like crying again, like I felt so bad.
- 37:30Okay, So so we talked about the trailers and and all the people and
- 37:35the things what us in store for us this season, likes as it relates
- 37:39to I don't know how much you cause again it's been a few years too
- 37:43since you've last read the books and all this stuff. Like you mentioned about
- 37:46the twins, that story might come into play, about the two twin guys
- 37:50who wanted to make on the green the cargoes. One's going to green,
- 37:52one's going to black. What else is we gonna say? Obviously the dance
- 37:55of the dragons. We're gonna see the conness. Yeah, you're gonna see.
- 37:59We're going to see some be ready, be prepared, uh for dragon
- 38:06deaths. The nigga that's that is in love with Allison's feet? Which one
- 38:09is that nigga Kristen Cole or else? Well, no, that wasn't well,
- 38:15since you no, he died, you know, he died. They
- 38:17killed just wanted to make sure that he is it. But since you mentioned
- 38:22Sir Crisco, this nigga is a wanna be and he's a pick me and
- 38:28I don't like well I don't like him clearly, but but he's a big
- 38:31pick me because you remember how now all of a sudden he has purpose because
- 38:36he has something to latch to. I don't like people who require other people
- 38:38to have purpose. It's very it's very weak minded to me. Where's your
- 38:44life? Why don't you have a life? Where are you? Like?
- 38:46It's like and I was trying to like him, like who he thinks?
- 38:50He's trying to be Like he's trying to be the mountain, like how the
- 38:52Mountains was, sir, sirce, He's trying to be the mountain when it
- 38:54comes to Alison and and all it really is is also a level of revenge
- 38:59because he's mad that long ago over there. You know now it chose like
- 39:05she said, I'm out with that. Fuck shit, I'm not with you.
- 39:07Fuck boy, I'm trying to build. I'm trying to be queen like
- 39:10I can't. I can't deal with you. Know your place, know your
- 39:15role? Right? But whatever, And then this whole thing with the Valarians,
- 39:20and again, how much Venera not Ranera. Rainie is gonna be a
- 39:24factor? I hope she is. How much Bayla and the rest of them
- 39:28is gonna be a factor. I do want to see black Girl Dragon writing
- 39:31what's gonna happen? It's not it is look as miserable as everybody looked.
- 39:37They're gonna that misery loves company, and that's I just look forward to a
- 39:43whole season of misery with a couple of moments of chuckles with Damon and his
- 39:46jokes. Because that's like, that's all I can suppose. Remember what I
- 39:53remember. I'm about to tell Lasaon. I can tease anything. Yeah,
- 39:58can you tease anything from me? Speak who knows the story generally? Right?
- 40:01Can you tease something that's not it's not gonna spoil us? Speaking of
- 40:07men who don't keep it in their pants. Oh, we need to keep
- 40:12an eye on Damon. Keep an eye Well that's this Nigga's crazy. Of
- 40:16course, you gotta keep an eye on him. But I hear you heard
- 40:21understood. Okay, okay, he's another one that's not good at child rearing.
- 40:25No, he has problems. He at least he was there for hugs
- 40:29when his when the daughter's mother died. Like, at least at least he
- 40:34had that. I give him. I just give him that. That's the
- 40:36only thing I give him for fatherhood. I'm gonna need them because there's like
- 40:38at least that one dragon that Damon was singing to that one time in the
- 40:43in the Keep and the Dragon Keep. I'm gonna need them to pull out
- 40:46all the blickies as as as much as possible and we will see the heart
- 40:51range like we will see all the pokemon in your in your pocket, all
- 40:55the like, all of them in your set. You see all them,
- 40:59all of them pop out. They're all coming out. And do you have
- 41:01to be a targarian in that targarian tree family tree branch to be able to
- 41:05ride a dragon? That's another thing I can give you. Not necessarily.
- 41:10Dragons are loyal to those who can win their loyalty. Mmm mmm hmm.
- 41:21Okay, we haven't met some of the people who that will apply to yet.
- 41:25And can you have can can a rider have more than one dragon?
- 41:30Or is it like one to one relationship? One? Okay unless somebody die,
- 41:35unless the dragon die, unless the person die, well, right,
- 41:37but then it become free. But like the what agon ended up doing?
- 41:40But was it aimed? Thank you amen ended up doing? Okay, okay,
