After two huge first episodes, it looks like the focus will shift somewhat to the Red Keep, as most of the trailer seems to focus there as Queen Rhaenyra’s rule begins. It was a difficult time in the books and appears to be the case here. But there’s... more
“Queen’s Landing” was meant to be the finale of season 2 and it really felt like it! We have a lot to say about the many parallels, the off-screen events and how Rhaenyra’s arc will shift massively, creating a cascade of new plots and conflicts. Aemo... more

Love the pod but so much time is taken up explaining to Shawn why he is wrong that could be better spent elsewhere 5 starts with out him

You all do great reviews, and I do enjoy your point of views.
Please consider the female voice modulating her voice. She pushes her way into the conversation in a talking over and interrupting manner. She has a shrill voice when she raises the volume of her voice. Her reading out loud might make this a little more noticeable.
