Manage episode 490839544 series 1102192
On today’s episode of Take the Black, Dan Selcke and Daniel Roman review The Hedge Knight, the beloved Game of Thrones novella that will soon be adapted into the HBO series A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. What makes this Dunk & Egg tale so special — and how might HBO bring it to life?
They also dive into the latest House of the Dragon leaks, including a mysterious set photo of a shipwrecked “Queen Who Never Was” and a controversial image of Rhaena Targaryen that suggests a major change from the books. Plus, what’s going on with Aegon’s arc in Season 3?
In other fantasy news, The Wheel of Time may be done for good as Rosamund Pike shares a farewell message. Meanwhile, The Witcher gets recast, and the showrunners have a wild explanation for it. Sophie Okonedo earns an award nomination, and author Andrzej Sapkowski throws shade at George R.R. Martin — but also offers some surprising support.
In What Are We Watching/Reading, the hosts share thoughts on the final season of Cobra Kai and the latest Murderbot episodes.
And stick around for the WiC News Lightning Round, featuring rapid-fire takes on Interview With the Vampire, the future of Rey in Star Wars, Rowling vs. Pedro Pascal, the Highlander reboot, and much more from across the fantasy and sci-fi landscape.
