The I'm going to be. Hello and welcome to bend the knee a song of ice and fire podcast I am Sir Matt the

Bud night and I am Sir Jimmy of house nuts Matt we just finished up episode 7 of House of the Dragon.

How are you feeling my friend?

Man, there was an enormous change.

All the people that said there was a big change, there definitely was.

And we will have to get to that with Lenor, because that's, you know, I mean, I guess in theory

he could still be alive in the books? I think his body is collected. We don't know in what manner his body is collected by the sea snake, but he offers a ridiculous prize to anyone to bring Carl back and he never does it never happens.

So I mean this you could look at this as more information but to me it's a change.

I would say this is a change and the shaved head looked good on Lane or he's out at sea where he

wants to be with his boy, Carl. I mean, you know, the really interesting thing about that actually, and we can come back to that towards the end of the episode is that actually has more ramifications in a song of ice and fire than it does in like House of the Dragons going forward because if that's the case in a

song advice and fire then that's a huge I mean we're talking massive thing that like that could change the way we view a

song of ice and fire because that could have that could give you more legitimate

ties with the black fires if they were to marry

into that house and they know what's going on you know house Valerian isn't that

really they're not really that big in game of Thrones and then they're not even in the show at all I don't believe I don't even think they're mentioned in in the show House Valerian we certainly don't see any prominent figures from it but then in the books, the you know the five books, I mean if there are more

sort of Valerians over there, that's game changer.

There's more Valer in blood over there.

Yeah.

I mean, this was just a pleasure to watch.

The thing I really enjoyed about this ending

is the fact that Damon getting that big inheritance from his dead wife comes to play. that because he's saying, hey, I know a place, they'll take care of you.

And he ships him over there.
