Hello, and welcome to the Nauticast podcast, the one true chapter-by-chapter podcast that usually goes through a song of ice and fire, but not here.

I'm one of your hosts Emmett, also known as Poor Quentin.

And I'm Manu, also known as Manuclear Bomb.

And welcome back to House of the Dragon.

We're going through Season 2 of House of the Dragon as it's airing every week.

Our episodes are going out for our patrons on Tuesday mornings over on patreon.com

slash not a cast, ASO-I-A-F, and out on Wednesday mornings out for everybody else.

This episode, we're covering the most recent episode, season two, episode six, Small Folk.

And I was saying it would be quite a move if they did an episode that was just all centered on the Small Folk.

You've had a whole episode like where you didn't see Rainira or Amund or maybe it did just like from a distance

like they do in some monster movie sometimes you just see the wreckage happened from afar.

I think with the characters they have, they can probably get us like 30 to 40 minutes worth

of like pure small folk content. I do think perhaps in season three or season four,

depending on where they take the story, they could do a full hour of it.

So hopefully they didn't blow the name here.

I would love that kind of look, especially like when we get to the storming of the dragon

pit and some of those other bigger events.

But as it was, it was a very small folk heavy episode.

I would say at least half the scenes or at least half the runtime was kind of dedicated to

them.

Again, possibly depending how you define small folk, I'm counting some of the bastards and not official royals in that story.

This episode was directed by Andridge Perrick and written by Eileen Schim.
