My name is Bernie Burns, sitting right over there. She's the last daughter of Krypton.

0:26.1

Tasha Burns. How'd that you, everybody? Well, I'm not named after Krypton, so like, let's just put that right out there.

0:32.0

And you're named after another kind of, you're named after the element. I just thought it sounded nice.

0:36.6

Yeah. We've got a million things to cover today. Current events and some other stuff as well. But going from, let's see, let's see, a pathway here. We can go from Superman to Supergirl who is... Millie Alcock. Yeah, she's his cousin, cousin? I think cousins. And she's played by Millie Alcock, right?

0:55.6

Yeah.

0:55.9

Millie Alcock.

House of the Dragons.

1:09.8

House of the Dragons. She's a Game of Thrones spin off. Well, she's in part of it. She's in like... It's like before the time jump. I don't say time... What? It's not like that's like being like wait for the twist.

1:11.7

All right. You over there. Listen. There's a gap in time.

1:28.5

I have a private conversation with the audience here. Listen, she's, I try to protect you. I try to protect your media experience out there so that you can go watch whatever you want to and not be spoiled by things. This lady over here, she doesn't care at all. She'll tell you whatever. Spoiler alert. These things take place over a long period of time.

1:30.8

What are you going to tell them next? The Grogu got killed at the end of the movie?

1:37.3

Oops. Sorry about that. It's a surprisingly dark children's film. So this is something that's, I think it's an interesting fact, but I bet everybody who's listening to this already knew this. There was a Game of Thrones pilot for the main series Game of Thrones. There was a

2:00.2

Who was not played by Amilla Clark originally. How did I not know this? No, that part I think I knew about, I'm not sure if I knew about the pilot.

I was not familiar with the actress. And I had to look this up. The first thing I had to find, of course, was, is this pilot anywhere out there? Apparently, no, it's not. I'm so, I would love to see it, though. I'm curious. Is that considered lost media or just, like, hidden media? If it was, if it was never released, I don't think it can be lost.

2:35.6

No, I agree with you. Right. I agree. I agree. And this poor actress, I didn't know her name before. She's in a lot of like period pieces, like the stuff. Yeah, she was in like the tutors and she's in like pride and prejudice and a, you know, a lot of that. So like a Midsummer Night's Dream.
