While we all wish that we were still covering hockey right now, the best part of the

cap season ending prematurely is our Sunday nights have been free to do what we really love,

which is watch Game of Thrones.

And that is exclusively what we are going to talk about on today's Capitals talk, Game of Thrones podcast.

I'm Rob Carlin with J.J. Regan and Ryan Billy here in studio. Brian McNally's making his way up here,

and working remotely because they never stop working, is Izzy Kishudian from the Washington Post and Chris Cook from the athletic.

The entire Capps crew back together to talk about. Izzy Kachudian from the Washington Post and Chris Cook from the athletic, the entire

Kapps crew back together to talk about Game of Thrones. And let's just start with the big

one. Izzy, we'll start with you because you are the Alan Iverson of Game of Thrones predictions,

a volume shooter who's got to shoot 40 to score 40 sometimes.

So let's just start with you.

What did you think of the penultimate episode, which I loved?

Yeah, I loved it too.

I feel like right now it's kind of trendy to just like on every episode and like pick it apart and you know I think

I'm like anti that you know I rewatch the Battle of Winterfell for example the long night episode

and I liked it more on like second viewing I think I like appreciated certain elements of the

of it in the moment I thought it was too dark, like pretty much everyone else. But this one,

I loved it, like, right away. I felt like they'd been building to, like, the DeNaris

mental breakdown, Mad Queen bit. I thought, like, cinematically, like, the filming of it,

it was, like, really well done. And I thought a lot better than, it reminded me almost of like Battle of the Bastards,

like the angles that they had of some of those battle scenes and everything else.

So, yeah, I thought it was great.
