Outsons and Cockles

Welcome back to Oysters Clams and Cockles presented by Bolin Media. I am Ross Bolin here with Barrett Dudley to discuss and review episode five of a Night of the Seven Kingdoms on HBO. Holy shit, Barrett.

Do you want to do it or shall I? You. Okay.

Bell or no!

Bello no! No, Bello! Man! So rather than bury the lead here,

let's start today's show doing something a little different, sharing our instant reactions

to the penultimate episode of the Night of the Seven Kingdoms, season one, and then we will

break down the episode scene by scene.

This was one of the most intense episodes of TV, I think I've ever watched. It was incredibly intense.

About halfway through, like, the actual trial of seven.

I was trying to sort of, like, place it in my it in my mind, like place it in the hierarchy

of intense Game of Thrones moments, set pieces, moments, action sequences, like, whatever

you, whatever you want to call it.

Yeah.

And I mean, like, it's up there.

There are so many, there are so many moments to choose from, but I think it's up there. Like, it's, it might be top five. It's got to be up there. It's, it was really something, um, the way they, they put it together. Uh, I will, I will put you on blast a little bit. You, you, you, you, you overhyped me. You did. You did. You did it. I overhyped you. Yeah, yeah. Ross texted me before, uh, I had had a chance to watch it and he called this, what'd you call it, did you call it peak cinema? No, I called it, peak cinema. I called it peak television, I think, or something along those lines. And so I, I don't know what I was, I think, I think, I think what you did for me was,

I did, I think you encouraged the idea that everybody was dying, which we talked about

on our Patreon.

Oh, that's on you.

That's your, that's your headspace.

That's your problem.

One of the, one of the reasons this was peak TV to me is because it was not at all what I expected.
