Summary
This week, Da7e and Neil return to Westeros after a long night away for the gut-wrenching, goopy penultimate episode of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms.
In The Calm [05:02], they discuss the season's climactic moments and how it stacks up against previous Westeros shockers. They also consider who is to blame for what happened, whether the flashbacks were the right adaptation choice, and what it all has to do with the Blackfyre Rebellion.
Then in The Storm [01:01:10], they look ahead to the season finale and where the show may diverge from the books before addressing some of the press tour spoilers being dropped by the show's lead actors.
Next week, the season finale of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms! Your faithful hosts return to your feeds on Monday to discuss episode six, "The Morrow," and look ahead to what we can expect from season two.
