Summary

Jim and A.Ron get sentimental over the very nostalgic episode of Game of Thrones, “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms”. Given the way this episode ends, this might be the last bit of sweetness and light many of these characters receive. Gulp. Dany is having trouble sharing power, Tyrion struggles to get his mojo back, Arya is looking for love in all the right places, and then damn near the entire gang gets together for an extremely fun, extremely heartwarming fireside chat. Next week the dead will be here; we’ll enjoy these final moments with our favorite characters while we still can. If you can’t get enough Thrones content, may I humbly suggest Gods of Thrones, a book series I co-wrote with a religious scholar on the cults, customs, and characters of A Song of Ice and Fire. Volume one and volume two are now available in paperback and e-book formats at Amazon! He might be prone to brooding and in fact Know Nothing, but he’s still our KING IN DA NORF WARDEN OF DA NORFFF!!! Show your support for House Snow with a swanky enamel pin or rugged cotton t-shirt!

0:30.0	Welcome to the Game of Thrones podcast, the official out of physical podcast for Game of Thrones on HBO. I'm Jim. I'm Aaron.
0:45.2	And today we're talking about season 8 episode 2 titled The Night of the Seven Kingdoms. That's with K,
0:50.3	Make No Mistake. What do you think of this episode after having seen it another time?
0:55.2	I liked it. As is a lot of the case on Game of Thrones episodes, I liked it even more the second time
1:00.0	I watched it and I got a chance to really kind of... It was coming and I can just relax and appreciate
1:04.7	the performances rather than thinking about oh god, what are you going to say? What are you going to say?
1:07.9	It's 45 minutes as you got to say something. What are you going to say?
1:11.9	So I thought that I saw some people saying that this is kind of like a filler episode but like...
1:17.8	To my mind like 30 plus minutes CGI action sequences are the filler of this show?
1:24.7	I mean I like that filler, it's good filler but like this is the stuff that makes those scenes
1:31.0	different from like when Michael Bay does it in Transformers. Like they're both 30 minute long CGI
1:36.6	battles but no one gives a shit about any of the robots that are dying or any of the humans for that
1:42.2	matter in Transformers whereas damn like... If you get a chance, Florence and Machine recorded
1:50.7	a version of the Jenny of Oldstones, the credits music. It's the same one but HBO turned it into
1:56.6	a full blown music video with like scenes from all the different seasons of Game of Thrones and
2:02.3	seeing these characters grow up and it's kind of an emotional experience because you realize you
2:06.1	care for all these characters. You don't want to see any of them that die and a lot of them are going
2:10.2	to die in the next couple episodes. And this calm before the storm, this allow the...
