House of the Dragon S3 Teaser Reaction

We react to the House of the Dragon season three teaser with equal parts awe and anxiety, weighing dragon spectacle against story choices and the fallout from season two’s changes. We map the likely path to the Battle of the Gullet, question the prophecy thread, and track how Rhaenyra, Alicent, Aemond, and Aegon might collide.

Transcript

HOTD Season 3 Trailer reaction

SPEAKER_02 0:05

Where were you? Alicent came to Dragonstone. She will open the gates of the Red Keep and surrender to me. You cannot trust her. The king has abdicated the throne. A new dawn is coming. A new line of obsolete kings. My name will send her new dragons here. It would be the end.

SPEAKER_00 1:12

This is the moment you become a queen. And with that, we welcome you to an impromptu episode of Dancing with Dragons. It is our 83rd podcast episode. My name is Tony, and with me is my co-host Minois. The season finale of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is on Sunday, but HBO decided to drop the teaser trailer of House of the Dragons season three. And that'll be our topic for discussion. The teaser is a minute long, so we will give our quick thoughts and observations. And we're just going to get into it. Minois, hello. And what was your first gut reaction after seeing the trailer?

SPEAKER_01 1:45

Hello everyone. Sorry if my voice sounds different this week or for this episode. I was going to say the same thing.

SPEAKER_00 1:56

I have the worst allergies this morning. So you hear a sniffle. Yeah, we we both apologize.

SPEAKER_01 2:02

Yeah, sorry guys. So yeah, about the teaser. When it dropped, honestly, I was I kind of have a very strong reaction to it. Honestly, I didn't feel so hyped. I didn't feel underwhelmed. I just felt like it wasn't enough to get me super excited, but it wasn't enough to get me worried or I guess disappointed. I'm already worried, but you know what I mean? Like it wasn't I didn't feel too negatively or too positively about it. It just was generally that lukewarm. That's yeah, it was like lukewarm for me. I have to be honest.

SPEAKER_00 2:32

Let me ask you this, actually. Okay. Let me just ask you straight away because that was one of my questions. But since you said that, is it because we have recently chronicled the I guess separation from Ryan Condell and George and all the things that came out in the Hollywood Reporter article with George saying that he has officially been he's not a part of anything for season three or probably season four? Is that something that's in the back of your our minds? You think, well, okay. It's something that we can be uh professional about it. Okay, we're just gonna watch and give our professional take. Or is that like, nah, you know what? They screwed George, we're gonna nitpick this show for I mean, like I love George, don't get me wrong.

SPEAKER_01 3:17

I I love him, and you know, we both are clearly Team George. And I but I wouldn't say that it was just because of the recent reports, it's just because of, yeah, I guess what happened, you know, because we lost, I don't think we lost faith in the show, but we have reasons to worry about Task of the Dragon ever since season two premiered. So like that uh reaction that I had to the teaser definitely is related to how they went about season two and the behind-the-scenes drama because not not not out of like taking sides, but more so because they changed so much and now I kind of need to be reassured that it's still going to go in a decent direction, yeah, even though George isn't a part of it. So I'm I'm I'm always just cautious about season three, if that makes sense. I've been nervous for season three and the future of Hash the Dragon ever since the last season, that's season two, and yeah, I guess it's just one of the reasons why I had that reaction.

SPEAKER_00 4:12

I think the ramifications of all the changes that were made in season two, or we will see the result of those big changes of like Alison and Ranera being best friends because now it's come to a head. Uh, we see the beginning of the trailer is Allison returning to King's Landing after she had her secret meeting in Dragonstone with Ranera for the season finale, and Amon knows what's up. He's like, What are you doing there? And then we see Ranera saying, you know, I had a meeting with Allison, she came here, and she's gonna open the red keep, and we're gonna just go in, walk in, no, no, easy peasy, no war. It's gonna be that easy. She's gonna have uh drinks and tea, and you can see like everybody's face is like, Come on, really? Are we gonna go to this again? Are we gonna have this passive Ranera? This I want to be like my dad, try to sue for peace as much as possible at all costs, but not realizing that it's gonna cost her so much using this kind of tactic of not just being a demon or you know what I mean? You know what I'm trying to say? Like we see shots of renewera, we see a lot of face shots here, we see a lot of close-ups of people in anguish and like and oh my god, what's happening? Uh, which we we kind of have something in mind of why they're reacting that way, but there's some scenes here that are throwing me off. I guess I don't know if we should just start with those scenes.

SPEAKER_01 5:35

Yeah, let's get into it. Which scenes are throwing you off?

SPEAKER_00 5:38

Well, the one scene of Renera banging on a door, one of two things could happen. This is a theory. She was locked up by her own counsel because they're like, you know what, we're we're done with you. This inaction uh in your part, we have to attack, we have to go to King's Landing. Or maybe that's in the red normal, maybe that's in the red keep. Because we don't know what's gonna happen. Like, we we can't say anything. We can give you non-spoilers for like the big events that we know are gonna happen, but like little tweaks, we're gonna be just as surprised as all the non-readers. Like, this is a little change that we have no, we don't know what's going on here. So it could be either in Dragonstone or they captured her in King's Landing. I I don't know. I that that's the one that I that I that's puzzling me.

SPEAKER_01 6:25

Yeah, I felt a bit confused by that shot as well because um there are two shots of Renera. The first one is from above, and you just see like blonde hair and then someone like slamming on the door. So my first instinct, I I paused it and I said, It's Reneira. And I was like, no, why would it be Reneira? I was like, it has to be Helena then. This is Helena, and they like locked her up after taking, like taking the city. And this is just like a theory. Again, we don't know what's going to happen or how it's gonna go about. But I was just like, that's that's what says, and then they do the close-up and it's really I'm like, okay, now I'm even more confused. And I think the way that I will interpret it now is that it's just her like slamming the door out of frustration. I don't think that she's like locked up. I can't see I don't know. You think they're gonna like restrain her? That's gonna be so underwhelming, like so it's so bad. No one wants to see that.

SPEAKER_00 7:13

I I don't because why would she slam the door? Um damn it. You just said something. Well, that could make that could happen, like out of frustration, she's hitting the door, but it seems like she's hitting the door in a way like she wants to get out. Like, let me out of here. Um uh back to the point about you know, what was I if I was excited, underwhelmed. I was actually I watched the trailer, like I don't know, maybe it was a few hours after I I kind of saw that it came out, but I didn't immediately watch it. I'm okay, I kind of see where it's going, but then when I saw Tesarian, I just I'm my mind was just like, what about George? Like it's so beautiful, she's such a beautiful dragon. Um, well, they call her the blue queen, yes, and she seemed small. I thought she would be a little bigger, uh, but just just looking at this this trailer alone, I'm gonna say the budget is massive. It seems like looking at Karax's Vagar, the program, they must have new software for these CGI because they look amazing. All the dragons, yeah. Um, they look much better than the the last two seasons. So I guess we love the Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, we love the how small it is, we love how it's a character-driven show, and then when you see these damn dragons, you're like, oh my god, they're so epic. You know what I mean? They they pull you in. It's like Godfather 3. Every time I think I'm out, they pull me back in with these damn dragons. Um, so uh what I got a sense of the trailer, like we got a sense of season two, two when we broke it down, war, war, war. But we were kind of disappointed because we thought last season two when we broke it down, we're like, well, we're gonna get the battle of the gullet for sure. Yeah, we we said that. We said that we're gonna get battle of rotary and we're gonna get this land and sea battle, and then we didn't get it because they cut the the episodes to eight. Here's the thing is that we're gonna probably gonna get that in the probably towards the end of the first episode, I'm I'm assuming, um, because they want to get right into it. And I'll just go out on a limb and say this.

SPEAKER_01 9:25

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 9:26

If Ryan Condo didn't prioritize this battle and say we have to make it the biggest thing ever seen in Game of Thrones, I will be very disappointed if it's if it doesn't awe me, if my mouth is not open the whole time. This is one of the greatest battles in the history of Westeros and anything, and we need to see it. We need to feel that. We need to feel the close to 200 ships that are fighting with Corelus and the triarchy. We need to see the dragons flying at we we need to see it, better be like 20 minutes of just straight action because I I'm not gonna settle for anything less. Okay, that's my take right there.

SPEAKER_01 10:06

I'm not having high hopes, honestly. Like, I'm not going to expect that.

SPEAKER_00 10:10

And they made us wait for two years. So then it better be.

SPEAKER_01 10:15

They made us wait two years when that's how they should have ended season two. You know what I mean? Like that it should not be a season opener, it should be it should have been the end of season two. Or the penultimate impact. Or the penultimate would have left a huge impact. And they delayed it, and I don't really know why. So we'll have to see. I mean, we we do get a few shots of it in this trader, and it seems okay, it seems to be looking good from what we have seen, but at the moment we can't really gauge how yeah, how massive it's going to be.

SPEAKER_00 10:47

So I mean, we see we see Adam of Hall commanding one of the ships.

SPEAKER_01 10:52

We do.

SPEAKER_00 10:53

He looks he looks amazing in his armor. We see Vermax and Chase, and he's saying Jacaris. We see Bela with Moondancer in action, which she looks amazing. We also see Kristen Cole uh getting ready, and I and we know that Kristen Cole and is going to Heron Hall. I did mention about Cole about last season, like he was shook after the battle of Rick's Russ. Like he's not the same man. That's one of the characters I'm really curious to see what they do. Are they gonna keep this new Cole as his questioning things about life and is he gonna keep going or resist Amen? Like we or he's just gonna go back to being Mr. Crispy.

SPEAKER_01 11:34

Me as well. I mean, I think for the most part though, we sense that maybe he changed a little bit. I think he was like violently killing someone in in the shot, or he was like attacking someone. So I would say that there's a big chance that the original crispy call that we know is still is still in there. But I'm curious to see how where his character arc goes. I mean, we obviously know what happens, but we can't rely on the book anymore, as you said. So um, but you mentioned the new kind of quote-unquote character that we get, which is Tessarian. I'm so excited to see Tessarion. She looks beautiful. Um, but we also get another human character, which is Ormond Hightower. That's the new casting, new character for the season. Um, and obviously, by the way, Taissarion is the dragon of Daron, who is um Aegon and Eamon's younger brother that we never met yet. They never mentioned him in season one, but he exists. Um so new characters are are appearing, like slightly slash, obviously, in the trailer. And um, yeah, not much to say, just we we can't wait to see how how they're incorporated into the story.

SPEAKER_00 12:38

Yeah, we we see a lot of Allison. Um, we see her telling Amen, you know, sooner or late Renera's gonna bring all her new dragons and we need to figure out then it's gonna be the end of us, which is kind of a talking, she's saying that to Eamon, and it's basically talking to a wall because he's not gonna listen to her. Like he's so crazed, he he's so war hungry, like he wants to destroy, he wants to prove, and he wants to be king. Like that's that's one of the big changes of of the fire and blood, is that him and and Aegon were close. Like, he he never tried to kill Aegon and the Rooks Rest. And now that he's I guess Prince Regent, he's probably gonna try to say, Hey, he he or he actually said he abdicated, meaning that he left. He doesn't want it, and I don't think that's what Aegon meant. It's not what he's doing, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 13:31

No, no.

SPEAKER_00 13:32

And so Amen's gonna take advantage of that and say, Well, I need I need to be the new Aegon doesn't have a theegon doesn't have an air, so I'm the next in line, and we need to do this quickly, and that could be a change. We we don't see that implicated here, but like we say, we don't know now. That could happen.

SPEAKER_01 13:51

Yes.

SPEAKER_00 13:52

Um, and the one thing about that I don't want to see, I don't want to see Renaire walk into King's Landing unopposed, and and Allison is there waiting for her. Because I that does not happen. And I need to see some action there, and and it'll be lackluster to see that. Hopefully they're throwing us off.

SPEAKER_01 14:12

Hopefully, I mean I what I was gonna say is that I think since they're showing us that there's a bit of resistance on both sides um in regards to the uh uh black alliance, you know, the aim what just seemed like he felt what was going on. Team blacks are untrustworthy. I just think that uh it won't be as easy as uh her just waltzing into the King's Landing and it just happening just just like that, you know. Something's gonna something's gonna happen and we'll see, we'll see. We get a few shots of Aegon, by the way. You mentioned Aegon as well. And yeah, um, when we get that voice over from Eamon saying the king has abdicated the throne, you see Aegon with Laris in the Riverlands, I believe, you know. As just to to refresh your memory, dear listeners, Aegon was on the run, Laris kind of helped him escape the city. Smuggle them out and smuggled him out of the city at the end of season two, and now he's you know he's badly burnt as well, if you remember from the Battle of Rux Russ. So if you see the shots of him, that's why he looks like that.

SPEAKER_00 15:12

If you well, compared to the descriptions we read, he looks really good.

SPEAKER_01 15:17

Yeah, comparison to the books, definitely. I mean, they have to keep him you know presentable for the camera, I guess. But um, yeah, so that's what's going on.

SPEAKER_00 15:26

And then we get a quick shot of him stabbing somebody. Did you see him stabbing?

SPEAKER_01 15:30

Yes, that's what I wanted to point out. It was weird.

SPEAKER_00 15:32

Like who who maybe there's something happens that they they in their travels, they get we'll see something happens and somebody notices him. They notice Laris and they attack the wagon. I mean, that's some that's what I'm assuming. Um, uh, we get a shot. I had to pause it because it was so quick of the winter wolves charging into battle. And I had to pause and I go, Oh, there's you know, the sigil of of Winterfell of the Starks. And I go, Oh, I can't wait to see these guys in action. But I'm gonna I'm assuming that's gonna be a battle towards the end of the season. We're not gonna see them in the Battle of the Gullet. Um, yeah, the this this trailer or this teaser, we're now into the dance of dragons, civil war, and there's no letting up. Um I don't think there's gonna be any episodes where we're gonna just chill and talk about, oh, what are we gonna do? No, this is about okay, it's about it's gonna be about getting punched and then counter punching. Well, I said that last last year.

SPEAKER_01 16:34

That's what we said last, yeah. That's what we said last time. Like, that's it. The wars are gonna be a little bit more than a lot of people.

SPEAKER_00 16:38

Yeah, balling into the trap.

SPEAKER_01 16:40

Yes, don't don't don't expect that anymore. That's it. Like, we can't say that. We don't know what's going to happen. Yeah, we don't know what's going on.

SPEAKER_00 16:47

Just in case, you know, just in case I'm gonna let it out there. And if it does happen, I'm gonna sound like a genius. And if it doesn't, I'll be like, well, they did it to us again. You know, I have an excuse. Uh we see Bagar um spitting fire, and it looks like the ruins of uh Heronhall. Because we know that Amen goes to Heron Hall, and he's just and you can see the columns, it it looks exactly like where they were in season two. Uh, like it's a quick shot. I mentioned about the faces, everybody's expression. This is another one where after season one, when we were dissecting that trailer for season two, we talked about the amazing final shot of season one, and we see Renera's face of sadness and anger, and now I'm here, I'm gonna, you know, get my revenge. We kind of get a similar face where it's not as the same, it seems more sadness, but also you see anger a little bit in her eyes. Again, are we gonna fall for that? Or is that the moment where okay, finally I need to do something, I need to I need to react because me being passive is not working.

SPEAKER_01 17:56

I have a guess as to why she's reacting in that way, and I think that's it's going to be a spoiler. I think I think it's a full book thing.

SPEAKER_00 18:05

I don't want to say that's a major, yeah. They're they're not a major plot point.

SPEAKER_01 18:09

I they're not gonna change that. And that's Renera in that moment. I don't want to give it away. I'm scared of me even saying this is giving it away, but that's what I think Renera is reacting to, or what's what's happening to her. But at the same time, um I wonder because it still doesn't like answer what you said, because that thing could happen, but then we could still see a very passive Renera. Do you know what I mean? Like I'm so scared that still can't gauge how they're going to adapt it in terms of their intentions if Renera's can continue to be passive, or if we're gonna see that vengeful arc for her that we should have seen in season two and so far. So I just we we really can't tell uh with the House of the Dragon, and that's kind of annoying that we can't tell at all where they're gonna go or how they're gonna adapt the story and what they're gonna cut out or add, and it's just it's frustrating because what made a Knight of the Seven Kingdoms work so well is the fact that was so book yeah book accurate. You know, we mentioned in our coverage that most of the lines were just pulled directly from the book, and now it's just I just feel so clueless and so directionless, and I'm nervous.

SPEAKER_00 19:14

Nothing for me to add. Uh the one thing that I know that we didn't see were the dragon seeds. We didn't see uh oolf, we didn't see at um Adam, and we didn't see uh Hugh Hammer, and they are involved in the war. Those are three massive dragons that are gonna be. I'll just say I know for sure that Seasmoke is in the Battle of the Gullet, and I think uh Vermithorg, uh it goes to King's Landing. But here's the one one major plot line that they changed that I don't know what they're gonna do. Remember that Renera's younger kids, young Visery, not Viser, young Viserys and Young Aegon. Yes. Remember, she gave her to Reina to go to the Vale, and then the Vale, uh Lady Aaron? Was it Lady Aaron? No, was it yeah, yeah. Okay, uh, so their plan was to go across the narrow sea somewhere, right? I think to the free cities somewhere.

SPEAKER_01 20:13

Yes, yeah, somewhere there.

SPEAKER_00 20:14

So here's what I'll say, and I guess this is not a spoiler. I wonder what they're gonna do with those kids because they're they're crossing the narrow sea as the Battle of the Gullet starts. So are they gonna show that? And again, those kids in the show are way younger than in the book. Like, I think I think Aegon is like 10 or close to 10 years old in in the book. And here he's like a toddler. And for those who know what happens with him and the and the boys, you're like, how are they gonna do that? Are they gonna just not do that storyline? That changes everything.

SPEAKER_01 20:54

Oh my god, Tony, I'm I'm nervous now.

SPEAKER_00 20:56

Yeah, it changes everything for the future because they had a big part to play, and now that they're so little, yeah, they have no control over the how if they survive. So I don't know, that's something to look out for. And that's maybe why George was like, What are you doing? You screwed up blood and cheese by removing the third child, and now you have these boys who are too young to even do anything. And it's probably something where we should talk about in the future episodes, maybe before it'll be like a spoiler for people or people who read the books or whatever, they can listen and hear our thoughts on why um this was a huge mistake and the implications of future events. But anyway, that that's the one thing I kept thinking about when I saw the battle. The gullet.

SPEAKER_01 21:42

This is the thing with House of the Dragon. I just keep finding more new things to make me nervous about it rather than things that get me excited and reassured about it. So there's the shot of Rhaenyra, and is this the moment that she's gonna like take action or be passive and she's looking so devastated? But there's actually a Alison's almost I would say equivalence. And I can't really place that at all for where that would be in the books. You see a shot of Alison with gloves on, and she has her hand over her her mouth in complete shock. And I just can't tell right now what that might be. I have I have my theories that would be spoilers and things on the book.

SPEAKER_00 22:19

Yeah, I don't okay.

SPEAKER_01 22:21

But I I'm not sure.

SPEAKER_00 22:22

I mean, we could just say it for the people who haven't read the book. Like Alison is non-a phenom factor in fire and blood. Like she's not, she's not for the maesters who are retelling or writing this history book. She's she wasn't really a part of this whole big Dance of Dragon Civil War. She is mentioned, but there's no mentions of well again. The big change is that she had no relationship with Renera. So there was no reason for them to write about it. So all this stuff is show created. Are they gonna is she gonna is is her mouth like doing that because she sees uh Damon and uh team blacks uh dragons coming to King's Landing? I don't that could be it. Like, oh now we have to they're here.

SPEAKER_01 23:05

Or is she is she reacting to the same thing that Renera is reacting to? I mean, we literally don't know. It's so weird being in the dark like this. I think this is how you must have felt reading uh watching like season five of Game of Thrones, right? When like things were starting to diverge or season five or six.

SPEAKER_00 23:24

Once I realized that they weren't gonna do anything with the Iron Islands, with Dorne, they completely changed Dorne. They're like, what's going on here? But no Lady Stoneheart, you're like, okay, they're just kind of winging it now.

SPEAKER_01 23:35

Winging it, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 23:36

So now we just gotta see what they wing here. They did a great job with the teaser. I don't think we even we don't really need to see a two-minute trailer. Like, what else? Maybe they'll show like Adam Mahal and and and the dragon seeds in action. Maybe we'll see Raina. Um, last time we saw her, she was with uh Sheep Stealer. Does she, you know, mount him? Is Nettles gonna be a part of it at all? They're just gonna scratch that character. Things to think about.

SPEAKER_01 24:04

Um, there's a quote of Damon where he says, You are the queen of dragons, you have an absolute power within your grasp.

SPEAKER_00 24:10

Oh, that sounds so good. Yeah, we haven't really heard that moniker, right? Queen of Dragons, we've heard Mother of Dragons. Queen of Dragons have a nice ring to it.

SPEAKER_01 24:19

I was gonna say that like technically Ronera and Daenerys are the only dragon queens. You can count um the queen that never was, but um, you know, there's a shot that's actually been debated online, and I I don't know why, but I felt differently than most people that like caught this shot, and it was basically a row of knights defending what seems to be the Iron Throne. And everyone says that it's the Targaryen, that's the normal Targaryen, it's Team Black's knights. But to me, it seems like they have the golden uh Targaryen sigil on them, so it seems like it's team green's knights. I don't I don't think that they did that in the show just yet, which is the same thing.

SPEAKER_00 24:59

I don't think, yeah. I know in the book they changed the they changed the sigil to gold for Dreamfire, or not Dreamfire, um Sunfire, the gold dragon.

SPEAKER_01 25:10

I don't think they did that in the show yet, even though I assumed like why wouldn't have they have what like why wouldn't they have already done that? Does it's obviously not red to me? I don't know, maybe it's just yeah, my color perception being off, but to me it just looks like a row of green knights defending Diamond Throne, which is interesting. Um, and then other than that, I think we just have the shots of Damon looking very bloody in batted, which is very interesting as well.

SPEAKER_00 25:35

The other big news about this is that we're getting the show in June, and we we kind of speculated here and others that it would be late summer. Uh with eight episodes, we're probably gonna go into August. There is that one shot. Did you talk about the shot of her looking into the fire?

SPEAKER_01 25:49

No, we should, because I have nothing about that.

SPEAKER_00 25:51

Okay, is this gonna be about Aegon's dream? Her looking into the fire.

SPEAKER_01 25:56

Do you do you want do you want the answer? I think the answer is a clear yes because I found an interview or like a quote from Ryan Condell saying that the prophecy is going to follow her into the rest of the war.

SPEAKER_00 26:07

Oh my god, I didn't even see that, so yeah.

SPEAKER_01 26:09

I'm just Yeah, it's a bit of a long quote, but bear with so bear with me. The thing that I will just say on a larger literary storytelling level, the thing that we're very interested in as storytellers is the idea of how prophecy and these ideas of these messianic ideas that we always see interpreted in stories like this, and in Harry Potter and Star Wars, the chosen one, the one who's going to save us from everything, the lights bringing or the prince that was promised, a Zorahai. How those ideas are interpreted in George's world, which is, as we know from all of the storytelling that he has taken us through to date, that these things are very, very black and white and one thing or the other, and often can be cautionary tales for how ideas like this are interpreted by people in power. Remember that Game of Thrones, Song of Ice and Fire, House of the Dragon in many ways, or fire and blood in many ways, are warnings about the perils of power and people in power, and particularly I think in this world absolute power. So I will just say that we're very interested in how those things play out in this world and how once somebody is given, as we've seen, Reneira, be given this football to run with that, my father chose me. I was the one. There is a prince who was promised, it must be me. This dragon rider was delivered to me, and how that's going to see itself manifested over the course of the rest of this war. I'm not happy about that.

SPEAKER_00 27:19

All I heard was blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.

SPEAKER_01 27:22

Am I blah blah blah?

No, no, no, from him. Uh, I mean, that would hit so much harder if the show of Game of Thrones ended the way it should have. You know what I mean? Oh, that's so exciting, or George was involved in this, and he's you're trying to connect this, you know, prophecy, and then we see the prophecy fulfilled at the end, which we didn't. This part of Host of the Dragon shouldn't have any of that prophecy.

SPEAKER_01 27:48

Nothing, it shouldn't have nothing, should have nothing related to it. It's it's even more interesting, probably without it.

SPEAKER_00 27:54

Maybe a mention and be like, okay, whatever, but not it shouldn't be a central theme into what the show is.

SPEAKER_01 28:01

Yeah. The dialogue between uh Renier and Viserys in season one, fine, when he's explaining it to her in the vision. Fine if you want to tie it back to Game of Thrones, like that, I'll I'll give it a pass, but to keep it for the rest of the war or the show is is way too much. Yeah, it's way too much, it has nothing to do with Renera's story. It it's it would be more interesting without it, I'd say. So because we've we've already seen it come into play in Game of Thrones, and that didn't work out well. So for it to still play a role here, knowing it didn't work out well, as you said, it's just for us, it's not interesting.

SPEAKER_00 28:36

That makes no sense to me. I think this is gonna be it for our quick reaction, well, not even a quick reaction, just of us observing what we can see from this teaser. You know, we kind of talk other things. Once this is done and I'm editing and I remember or you remember anything, we'll we'll can bring it up in another episode or maybe the next time we record, which is in a couple days when we record our review of the finale of uh Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, which we're very excited about.
