Summary

Jim and A.Ron try to talk about an incredibly entertaining episode of HBO’s Game of Thrones, “Eastwatch”, while also dealing the the fact that the main thrust of the plot is dubious at best. And we’re not talking about jetpacks or wonky numbers of ships and wagons, we’re talking about the main mission North of the Wall. Why does anyone think this is a good idea? On the other hand, we’ve come around on the Arya and Sansa intrigue, and there is a whole lot else to like… Gendry and Jon reprising Robert and Ned’s adventures. Davos showing off his sweet smuggling skills. Drogon doing what Drogon does best, looking majestic AF and generally being jaw dropping in every scene he’s in, including the one where he gets his snout snuggled. That’s impressive range for a fake dragon, ya’ll. All this, plus we got more emails than Davos has bad crab meat, and we’re back Friday to do it all over again, SpoiLORE style. See you then!

0:42.6

on HBO.

0:43.6

I'm Jim.

0:44.6

I'm Aaron.

0:45.6

And today we're talking about season seven episode five titled Eastwatch.

0:48.6

Aaron, we've seen it twice now.

0:50.4

Our instant take was I would say pretty brutal.

0:53.9

It was negative and tone.

0:55.5

Certainly after seeing it again, what do you think?

0:58.6

I think this episode was a very entertaining hour of television.

1:02.7

It was deliberately constructed to be so.

1:05.0

There was many, many callbacks to not only things that we are finally remember from previous

1:10.4

episodes and previous seasons, but also parings that we were along the waiting meta references

1:18.0

to meta conversations about the show out of the character zone mouths like those things

1:22.9

were very delightful.

1:25.8

Now underneath that, I guess as I thought about this, my core complaint is that the overall

1:33.1

thrust of the season as I understand it is dumb.

1:38.6

The idea that you can catch a white and then take it to Cersei.
