3M ago48:45

48:45

What was "King Egg" (a.k.a. Aegon V) trying to do at Summerhall, and why did it go so horribly wrong? Those are the questions I'll answer, covering both the well-established Summerhall theories as well as some new ideas I am bringing to the table.

33:07

Finally, a satisfying theory (with heavy foreshadowing) for what George Martin is going with Rickon's story! Since Rickon is a child, George has based parts of Rickon's plot on children's stories - Where the Wild Things are and Three Billygoats Gruff - and these stories also foreshadow this endgame! Walder Frey is a bridge troll, Skagos is an islan…

3M ago46:38

46:38

Nagga's Bones, thought to be the fossilized ribcage of an ancient sea dragon, are in actuality the petrified weirwood ribbing of the Grey King's ship, which he flipped over and made into a magical longhall. In theory anyway - this is Grey King weirwood ark greenseer theory, at long last.By David Lightbringer

Why does the Cannibal eat other dragons? Was the Cannibal really on Dragonstone before the Targaryens? Why did he fly by the funeral of Corlys Velaryon?

Alicent Hightower is Actually Hilarious - House of the Dragon - Game of Thrones 25:34

11M ago25:34

25:34

It's true, Alicent Hightower... is pretty damn funny. Her characterization of House of the Dragon, I argue, is masterful, and a psychology-deconstruction field-day for those of us intimately familiar with well... people like Alicent. And Criston! We'll get into their relationship, and whether it makes sense for the characters. HotD playlist: https:…

Send us a text In the final episode of Lightbringers, the Guy girls still manage some significant overthinking. The storytelling leads them to some questions about how people who don’t feel remorse might be tortured in the Lucifer universe (in other words, what was the magic behind Lucifer’s whispered words to Lemec?). Additionally, the confines of…

Send us a text In this penultimate episode of Lightbringers, the Guy sisters continue to notice the moments and threads of season 6 that seem to point to a rushed (and self-amusing) writers’ room. From the unprofessional move of Linda’s book (why didn’t they just make it fiction?) to the disappointingly milquetoast Carroll, there are story and char…

Rumors that Nettles has been cut from House of the Dragon are flying, so let me give you the scoop, and more importantly, tell you why Nettles is so important to the story. Like Dany, she is rediscovering original Valyrian magic, and her character's commentary on class and prejudice in Westeros is unique and fascinating. HotD playlist: https://www.…

Send us a text As season 6 progresses, the Guy sisters have some moments of joy and appreciation and quite a few quibbles for the writers. Though the cartoonified episode is in some ways delightful (Tracie wanted to be an animator when she was a kid), there are moments in the writing that feel either ableist or rushed (or both). The sisters note th…

With these two episodes, the sisters spend considerable time lamenting the fact that there are no media role models for people who are childless by choice, including, it seems, Lucifer. We also are perplexed and perturbed by multiple details of these two ep…

Send us a text “A Little Harmless Stalking” & “Nothing Lasts Forever” are ripe for overthinking, and the Guy girls do.

Send us a text “Resting Devil Face” is a delightful romp the sisters want to revisit more often. “Daniel Espinoza: Naked and Afraid” may be both of their least favorite. In “Resting Devil Face,” the celestial siblings’ relationship digs in to the very human experience of realizing one’s parent is vulnerable. In a satisfying dovetailing of the case-…
