Summary
This week, Da7e and Neil are back in Westeros learning maybe a little too much about Ser Arlan of Pennytree as A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms continues to track the rise of his protege, Ser Duncan the Tall.
In The Calm [04:58], they do a bit of Banner Tracking as more famous houses join the fray with a ferocious burst of jousting action. They also discuss the arrival of House Targaryen to the party and break down all the princes, blonde and otherwise. And before they head into the spoilery Storm section, Neil does a deep dive into the currency of Westeros so that everyone can convert their silver stags into gold dragons as they tearfully sell their most beloved horse.
Then in The Storm [01:01:38], Da7e has questions about the Targaryen family tree, their current obsession with the Blackfyre Rebellion, and the tradition of houses changing sigils over time. They also breakdown the episode 3 teaser and what secrets it's hiding in plain sight before discussing some alleged episode titles for the rest of the season.
Next week, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms continues with episode three, "The Squire" on Sunday evening, then Da7e and Neil will be back in your feeds with their deep dive on Monday afternoon.
