30 minute episode, 3 and a half hour podcast. I love you two

Taylor Doyle

Not wild about all the changes but none of them seem like they don’t add in some form.

Its DUNK TIME!! My favorite time of the week

Kevin Stoddard

I’m a bit worried they’re using the laughing storm a bit too much and we’re getting too much of a good thing here

moth

shaving cream by Benny Bell is another fun subverted rhyme :) love all the songs in this series, they add so much atmosphere

Andrew Bennett

Egg and Thunder felt SO Calvin and Hobbes and I love Glidus’ view on it being about Eggs perspective

moth

also maybe the show runners were worried about Valarr looking too Jaqen H'ghar if they went with the long hair? idk but I'm missing the cool streak, I want to see more of it :(

I feel like you two missed the total duh that was "richer than a Lannister" to Dunk means that his life will be more fulfilled than any monetary wealth could give him because that's not where his heart lies.... Or maybe she's just stupid and wrong

Evan Paine

As much fun as the Empire of the Dawn theories are, I don’t think the Serwyn myth needs to be that complicated. It’s more plausible that the story came over with the andals (or maybe the Rhoynar) during their periods of emigration and were passed down over generations as cultural memory of the Valyrian empire in Essos. Argument could be made it grew in popularity as the targaryens/velaryens/celtigars🦀🦀🦀 immigrated to Westeros, but I don’t think that makes a difference in this instance.

Freddie

Have there been many changes between the screeners you two got to watch ahead of time and what we're getting now?

Jarick Rieffer

After the beginning of episode two I 100% believe that Arlin is a horse

Rachel Wheatman

truly don't wanna be pearl clutching but the shit/spit/piss/phlem/vomit/snot scenes are Quite A Lot for me. Love the show so far but it's not one to watch while eating

Rachel Wheatman

& I feel the constant use of the word cunt is a bit American. Just not quiteeee knowing where it fits in a sentence

Alt Shift X

I think you're probably right -- richness meaning metaphorical spiritual fulfillment.. I think it's a bit cheesy.. But it could be what she means!

Alt Shift X

None that I have noticed. I'm surprised they didn't fix the shield error last episode!

Alt Shift X

"Cunt" is the one word that I'm not allowed to say on YouTube -- it gets me instantly demonetised/restricted, so I've gotta dance around it -- which is difficult, when this show says "cunt" half a dozen times each episode!

Desmond

Loved all the Egg additions, Dexter Sol Ansel is just so good and his voice is so high, love it. (His song was amazing as well) Would've liked to see more of the joust before we get to this turning point though. Feels a bit like they did the minimum required to introduce the characters they have without showing them in action in the joust. I get that it's probably very complicated to shoot so much though! Definitely my favourite episode thus far. The lack of (human) shit/piss helped a lot.

DidjaCinchIt

Are these comments in the spoiler zone? I had a question about this episode.

Isa Sharfstein

could ‘richer than a lannister’ be a reference to a potential future dunk and egg story where he outwits a lannister or defeats one in a joust and thus is literally richer than that one (1) lannister ? don’t want to read too much into prophecy

Ben

You guys spent a lot of time talking about making a show/movie about jousting, and never mentioned “A Knight’s Tale”! It’s a basically a sports movie about jousting and thinking about it now, has VERY Dunk and Egg energy. Strong recommendation if you guys need fluff content lol

Brain the Broken

Also subtle foreshadowing that Egg is confused about BLACK hair growing from his stones (because his own hair is Targaryen silver)

Rachel Wheatman

Never mind the Me-car/My-car debate. On youtube it's pronounced with a soft c as 'sunt'

Non-display name

I noticed that Tanselle stabbed the dragon puppet in the neck, killing it the same way Aerion killed the horse. I wonder if this played a role in his anger, seeing it as a veiled metaphor against him. I've been wondering if they would make any changes to the finger breaking scene since I saw how big the puppet show is. In the books, I think that scene is so much more impactful because Aerion is not only attacking her method of "treason" but the way she makes a living. Egg even compliments her puppet work earlier in the book, and now she can't do it, and maybe will never be able to do it with the same fluidity. In the show, it's less symbolic because she dresses in a full costume, so it sort of becomes "just" a way to inflict pain. Still well done, but I think it's an good example of the larger ramifications of even small changes in a story.

Sean McCaughey

Bro the 5 minute lotr analysis segment had me yearning for you guys to actually discuss it, please 🙏🙏🙏🙏 Just a cheeky livestream one day, character alignment or something, lotr parallels in asoiaf livestream (surely that is relevant???) pls

Edgardo Andrés López Sánchez

@1:57:00 chainmail coifs were worn with a smaller leather or fabric coif underneath precisely to avoid that issue. We see Egg removing one just like that from his little egg head in episode 1.

GhostInTheMachine

When is the E3 explainer going to drop?! Your recaps are the best!

Arthur Mundim

maybe aerion didn't touch his shield because he's a little prick

Alt Shift X

I haven't read The Lord of the Rings in a LONG time. Maybe some day!
