Summary

"The Last of The Starks," brought back the political struggles, shocking developments, and complex conversations of earlier seasons without losing the massive scale and sprawling tales of Season 8.

Episode 4's breakneck race to the "Game of Thrones" finish line might seem like sloppy writing and impatience, but Gene and Dick believe there's a method to the madness. Hear about that as we weigh the strengths and weaknesses of the two remaining factions: Team Cersei and Team Daenerys.

Speaking of Dany, Big D lays out an impressive argument pointing to the Breaker of Chains as the next Mad Queen. Gene predictably plays devil's advocate and defends Dany as a born ruler who has suffered from being too lenient.

Wondering how the hell Euron knew the good guys were sailing toward Dragonstone? We'll dive deep into the lightning speed of information in Westeros and examine whether there's a spy in Dany's camp.

And of course we'll preview this season's last remaining bit of dazzle: The Golden Company. Who are they, and why might they be the key to defeating Cersei?

0:04.0	S... hah. Welcome. Welcome back to Shadon TV Game of Thrones edition, the unofficial
0:28.0	podcast companion piece to the Juggernaut HBO series Game of Thrones.
0:32.0	I'm one of your host, Gene Lyons, and alongside

0:39.2	edition where we look back at this week's episode of Game of Thrones and
0:42.0	share our insights, research, and
0:43.9	opinions. This week's episode was titled The Last of the Starks. Now you heard our
0:49.0	Instacast on Sunday night. This is our deep dive where we're going to dig a little bit

0:56.5	Big D, any changes in the way you feel about it?
0:59.2	No, I still really enjoyed it.
1:01.2	I mean, surprisingly, considering we had the largest battle
1:04.0	ever filmed for television or movies last episode this might be my favorite of the
1:09.7	season. It felt like the early days of Game of Thrones. It was really heavy on the small interactions between the characters.
1:17.0	But I would be lying to myself if I did not admit I can feel that it's slightly abbreviated.
1:25.0	People are complaining that it's moving so fast and a lot of things aren't making sense.
