00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:30,330
>> Sarah : Sam. Greetings, nerds. This is Scene N Nerd. I'm
2
00:00:30,330 --> 00:00:31,850
your host, Sarah Belmont, and with me, as always,
3
00:00:31,850 --> 00:00:34,010
is our Mr. Producer, will Will Polk how are you
4
00:00:34,010 --> 00:00:34,730
Doing tonight, Will.
5
00:00:35,450 --> 00:00:38,010
>> Will: Doing very well. Hope you're doing all right.
6
00:00:38,170 --> 00:00:41,740
>> Sarah : We make our way through the last two episodes of,
7
00:00:41,690 --> 00:00:45,960
Fallout season two. their finale aired earlier
8
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:50,040
this week and so we're talking about the handoff
9
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:53,570
as well as the strip. We will. What did you think
10
00:00:53,570 --> 00:00:56,010
about how they concluded season two?
11
00:00:57,290 --> 00:01:00,710
>> Will: Yeah, so, it was the best of times and it was the
12
00:01:00,710 --> 00:01:04,880
worst of times with Fallout because, the, you
13
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:09,640
know, we, we have gone and very, very deep
14
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:13,640
throughout the season about how this show has a
15
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:16,920
lot of arcs, a lot of, lot of, lot of storylines
16
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:22,620
and, and plots and how they all are. You know, it
17
00:01:22,620 --> 00:01:26,100
seems that there's, there's a big ambition and
18
00:01:26,100 --> 00:01:29,460
then, but with the ambition, sometimes some things
19
00:01:29,460 --> 00:01:34,820
get very well baked and some are, are not so much.
20
00:01:34,820 --> 00:01:37,820
And I feel like these two episodes really, like,
21
00:01:38,060 --> 00:01:41,740
highlighted that the best part, you know, with
22
00:01:41,740 --> 00:01:43,900
where the stories where the things really, really
23
00:01:43,900 --> 00:01:46,860
landed. It landed really well. And in other things
24
00:01:46,860 --> 00:01:50,420
it was just like, oh, yeah, this, this reminds me
25
00:01:50,420 --> 00:01:53,060
of why I got so, you know, why we get frustrated
26
00:01:53,060 --> 00:01:54,180
sometimes watching this show.
27
00:01:58,020 --> 00:02:02,590
>> Sarah : Yeah. I think I liked, ah, episode seven more than
28
00:02:02,590 --> 00:02:06,830
I liked episode eight. Episode eight. It just felt
29
00:02:06,830 --> 00:02:11,360
like an epilogue. It felt like, okay, now, now
30
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:15,560
we're, we're tying up all of our loose ends. And I
31
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:19,200
appreciated more the pace of setting up for those
32
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:23,700
loose ends and, and there was a lot more movement.
33
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:26,960
and, and I was surprised. I was caught off guard
34
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:30,440
with seven. Episode seven with the cold open of
35
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:35,160
Stephanie Harper and they, they really in, in the,
36
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:39,820
the ninth Emmy ending, they, they finally paid her
37
00:02:39,820 --> 00:02:40,140
off.
38
00:02:40,940 --> 00:02:41,500
>> Will: Yeah.
39
00:02:42,060 --> 00:02:45,460
>> Sarah : And I was, I was just like. And, and really what
40
00:02:45,460 --> 00:02:48,300
did. It was the fact she's Canadian. Like, come
41
00:02:48,300 --> 00:02:48,620
on.
42
00:02:49,580 --> 00:02:52,740
>> Will: Yeah, that was. So that was where, you know, I
43
00:02:52,740 --> 00:02:55,940
remember whenever we talked briefly about Chad
44
00:02:55,940 --> 00:02:59,900
finding the ID card and earlier in the season and
45
00:02:59,900 --> 00:03:01,660
you know, it was kind of. I think I just made kind
46
00:03:01,660 --> 00:03:04,790
of a one off comment on it. And, and and so
47
00:03:04,790 --> 00:03:08,590
whenever we did get that cold open and you know,
48
00:03:08,590 --> 00:03:10,580
shout out to Natasha Hestridge, playing
49
00:03:10,660 --> 00:03:15,740
Stephanie's mom and you know, we, it was, it was,
50
00:03:15,740 --> 00:03:18,100
it was cool to get that, that payoff with that
51
00:03:18,100 --> 00:03:21,210
because again, the story has a lot of juggling a
52
00:03:21,210 --> 00:03:24,330
lot of, a lot of stories and, and and we did get
53
00:03:24,330 --> 00:03:26,490
that payoff that, oh yeah, she's Canadian. And
54
00:03:26,490 --> 00:03:28,450
also I felt kind of ripped from the headlines
55
00:03:28,450 --> 00:03:33,080
because, you know, whenever Chet and Stephanie had
56
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:36,220
the, had the, the. The wedding in the Vault, you
57
00:03:36,220 --> 00:03:40,020
know, we. We see. You know, it just reinforces
58
00:03:40,100 --> 00:03:43,130
the, anti Canadian feels that, you know, from 200
59
00:03:43,130 --> 00:03:45,370
years prior, we, you know, 200 years later, those
60
00:03:45,370 --> 00:03:48,860
folks still, you know, the, the battle, you know,
61
00:03:48,860 --> 00:03:54,100
between Canada, United States, as far as the vault
62
00:03:54,100 --> 00:03:56,990
dwellers, were like, losing their minds that
63
00:03:58,030 --> 00:03:59,310
Stephanie was Canadian.
64
00:04:00,190 --> 00:04:03,230
>> Sarah : It's just a reminder, like, this didn't just
65
00:04:03,230 --> 00:04:06,710
happen to the US We've been stuck in the US For a
66
00:04:06,710 --> 00:04:09,790
long period of time. It happened globally. But
67
00:04:09,870 --> 00:04:14,740
beyond just being Canadian, we learn that she and
68
00:04:14,820 --> 00:04:20,270
Hank were married pre Vault Prevaunt. And, and
69
00:04:20,270 --> 00:04:23,790
really in these last two episodes, they also
70
00:04:24,270 --> 00:04:27,830
fleshed out Hank more in the past and in the
71
00:04:27,830 --> 00:04:31,550
present to inform where he became much more of an
72
00:04:31,550 --> 00:04:36,310
acolyte. Not for House, but for the. What do they
73
00:04:36,310 --> 00:04:36,830
call it?
74
00:04:37,310 --> 00:04:38,430
>> Will: The. The Enclave.
75
00:04:38,750 --> 00:04:42,830
>> Sarah : The Enclave. So, which. Which I. I thought was
76
00:04:42,830 --> 00:04:48,790
good, too. I mean, dare I say. Dare I say that
77
00:04:49,430 --> 00:04:55,150
despite all my issues with this show, I think this
78
00:04:55,150 --> 00:04:59,199
season is better than the first season. yeah, I, I
79
00:04:59,199 --> 00:05:03,000
just. I think that. And now granted recency bias,
80
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:07,320
because it's not like I. I returned to the first
81
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:11,960
season at all in between shows. So I don't know
82
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:15,670
how much that's a legitimate statement, but at
83
00:05:15,670 --> 00:05:18,870
least the way they ended it felt more fulfilling
84
00:05:18,870 --> 00:05:22,230
and more like, okay, we're on to the next chapter.
85
00:05:22,630 --> 00:05:25,870
Granted, I don't like this idea that the ghoul and
86
00:05:25,870 --> 00:05:31,260
Lucy will no longer be hanging out together. I'm
87
00:05:31,260 --> 00:05:34,950
sure they're gonna fix that. and I hope they do. I
88
00:05:35,030 --> 00:05:40,630
also, dare I say, I don't need flashbacks in
89
00:05:40,630 --> 00:05:46,240
season three. I want a season without flashbacks
90
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:54,360
just because I. If. And if. Okay, maybe I take
91
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:57,839
that back. I don't want flashbacks to the current
92
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:02,800
time period leading up to the. What happens.
93
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:07,680
Because I am now at the point with the ghoul slash
94
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:12,070
Cooper Howard where I want to understand more
95
00:06:12,070 --> 00:06:17,150
about these 200 years. And so that's just me. And
96
00:06:17,150 --> 00:06:19,830
I'm sure they're not going to do that, but I'm
97
00:06:19,830 --> 00:06:22,790
putting it out there that I'm a little bit okay
98
00:06:22,790 --> 00:06:26,830
with it. And if I hear Robert House allude to
99
00:06:26,830 --> 00:06:29,710
somebody more powerful than him one more time.
100
00:06:30,590 --> 00:06:33,790
Yeah, because that's annoying. But.
101
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:37,960
>> Will: Yeah. So let me just ask. So when you say
102
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:41,000
flashbacks, so are you. Are you wanting to, like,
103
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:46,360
explore how Cooper became the ghoul or.
104
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:52,350
>> Sarah : Or. well, I. I mean, I think. Sure, sure. How he
105
00:06:52,350 --> 00:06:57,030
became the ghoul, post explosion or Post end of
106
00:06:57,030 --> 00:07:01,230
the world, but more about. Because he says it in
107
00:07:01,230 --> 00:07:05,130
the finale, like, for the first time in 200 years,
108
00:07:05,130 --> 00:07:09,610
he's had hope. But we've also been very much aware
109
00:07:10,250 --> 00:07:13,170
that he's been looking for his family for the past
110
00:07:13,170 --> 00:07:19,530
200 years. So. And he's seen things. He's aware.
111
00:07:19,530 --> 00:07:25,450
He. He's more like, arguably one of the most. I
112
00:07:25,450 --> 00:07:30,250
guess why I'm putting that out there, too, is to
113
00:07:30,250 --> 00:07:33,290
go back to all of my ramps about Lucy. Like, we
114
00:07:33,290 --> 00:07:35,370
get it, she's from the vault, surface is
115
00:07:35,370 --> 00:07:38,330
different. She's gonna change too, blah, blah,
116
00:07:38,330 --> 00:07:43,520
blah. But as we said in, episode six, when we're
117
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:46,760
talking about episode six, and he finally, for the
118
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:49,720
first time, we hear him as the ghoul, refer to
119
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:53,320
himself as Cooper Howard. Right, right. So. And
120
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:57,040
then we talked about how, like, he has a foot in
121
00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:01,380
both worlds, where he is a ghoul, he is an ab. Yet
122
00:08:01,380 --> 00:08:05,140
he also, because of his family, there's this
123
00:08:05,140 --> 00:08:09,860
humanity in him. I mean, just look at what he did
124
00:08:09,860 --> 00:08:14,740
for Lucy in this episode. So I think it would be
125
00:08:14,740 --> 00:08:20,380
interesting to put the Lucy becoming someone
126
00:08:20,460 --> 00:08:23,980
different on the surface world. Like, you could
127
00:08:23,980 --> 00:08:30,459
parallel that with how the ghoul, like, lost so
128
00:08:30,459 --> 00:08:33,619
much humanity, yet at the same time, there's that.
129
00:08:33,699 --> 00:08:36,419
There's that connection that he can never cut.
130
00:08:37,299 --> 00:08:41,779
And. And. And then you can also lead that into.
131
00:08:42,659 --> 00:08:46,339
Because can we at least get the daughter in season
132
00:08:46,499 --> 00:08:50,299
three? Because I was thinking about it, I knew
133
00:08:50,299 --> 00:08:53,579
the. The tanks, the chambers would be empty just
134
00:08:53,579 --> 00:08:57,020
because there's no way that. That was way too
135
00:08:57,020 --> 00:09:02,620
easy. So. So. But. But while he was waiting there,
136
00:09:02,620 --> 00:09:06,820
I was just like, dude, you realize what you look
137
00:09:06,820 --> 00:09:09,940
like, right? You're gonna scare the living out of
138
00:09:09,940 --> 00:09:14,620
them whenever they do see you. So you might want
139
00:09:14,620 --> 00:09:18,060
to be prepared because you've been holding out
140
00:09:18,060 --> 00:09:21,710
hope for them, and they're gonna look supposedly
141
00:09:21,790 --> 00:09:26,190
normal. We don't know now for sure. But. So I
142
00:09:26,190 --> 00:09:29,630
just. It was just like that frightening of, like,
143
00:09:30,190 --> 00:09:34,510
you've been looking for someone for so long that
144
00:09:34,510 --> 00:09:39,510
when you finally find them, even though the
145
00:09:39,510 --> 00:09:44,150
memory, like, it's. It's not that they've changed,
146
00:09:44,150 --> 00:09:47,710
but you've changed. So that relationship will
147
00:09:47,710 --> 00:09:51,090
never be what it was. so I think that there could
148
00:09:51,090 --> 00:09:54,010
be something really interesting there. And. And of
149
00:09:54,010 --> 00:09:57,210
course, I'm also saying this all, like, I haven't
150
00:09:57,210 --> 00:10:00,170
thought about it at all. And it just is what comes
151
00:10:00,170 --> 00:10:02,570
to mind when we're talking about these episodes
152
00:10:02,570 --> 00:10:06,530
and specifically the ghoul in these episodes.
153
00:10:07,970 --> 00:10:10,370
>> Will: Yeah, yeah, no, I. I hear you. I Mean, I agree
154
00:10:10,370 --> 00:10:14,610
with you that the. Whenever I remember whenever we
155
00:10:14,610 --> 00:10:18,510
were. When we had a discussion about earlier in
156
00:10:18,510 --> 00:10:22,270
the season, whether or not we would see Cooper's
157
00:10:22,270 --> 00:10:25,610
family or not, I was like whenever they were in
158
00:10:25,610 --> 00:10:28,410
the. In the vault room there with the. With the
159
00:10:28,410 --> 00:10:31,530
tube, I also was like, yeah, this is going to be,
160
00:10:32,410 --> 00:10:37,370
empty. But I did like how they had the, you know,
161
00:10:37,370 --> 00:10:39,050
they had the postcard. You know, they went back
162
00:10:39,050 --> 00:10:41,450
and referenced Colorado. because that was a story
163
00:10:41,450 --> 00:10:46,570
beat. And. And so. So again, all things point to
164
00:10:46,570 --> 00:10:48,280
Colorado. And And.
165
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:51,440
>> Sarah : And also is that where that facility was?
166
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:55,930
>> Will: the facility that was in. In this EP in these
167
00:10:55,930 --> 00:10:57,490
episodes was still in Vegas?
168
00:10:58,210 --> 00:11:01,090
>> Sarah : No, no, no, no, no. The facility that is
169
00:11:01,090 --> 00:11:02,530
referenced at the very end.
170
00:11:03,340 --> 00:11:07,380
>> Will: Yeah, I think. Oh, the enclaves. Ah, lab.
171
00:11:07,620 --> 00:11:09,530
>> Sarah : Yeah, yeah, yeah.
172
00:11:09,530 --> 00:11:12,730
>> Will: you know, I'm not. It might be. I'm not sure. I
173
00:11:12,730 --> 00:11:15,170
mean, I know that secret lab, that lab for the
174
00:11:15,170 --> 00:11:17,850
enclave ship was it. It was also was in season one
175
00:11:17,850 --> 00:11:19,740
because that was where, Wizik worked.
176
00:11:19,980 --> 00:11:22,380
>> Sarah : Right. But I don't think that's the same lab
177
00:11:23,340 --> 00:11:26,820
because. Because they show that lab again, but
178
00:11:26,820 --> 00:11:29,820
they also showed another facility that looks like
179
00:11:29,820 --> 00:11:33,860
it's in between two mountains and it's snowing. So
180
00:11:33,860 --> 00:11:37,260
that's where I was like, is that in Colorado? And
181
00:11:37,260 --> 00:11:40,100
then I think about the. Everything Stephanie being
182
00:11:40,810 --> 00:11:44,950
being ah, Canadian. And it's like, is that in. In
183
00:11:44,950 --> 00:11:49,670
Canada or is it in Alaska? Because Robert House
184
00:11:49,910 --> 00:11:54,550
has. Fine. Yeah. Has a line about how he realized
185
00:11:54,550 --> 00:11:57,320
there was someone ahead of him as soon as he saw
186
00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:01,000
that demon in the snow. So granted, Alaska can.
187
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:03,400
Canada. Very close. Very close.
188
00:12:03,560 --> 00:12:06,210
>> Will: Yeah, I think actually, now that you. Now that you
189
00:12:06,210 --> 00:12:09,610
talk mention it, I think that lab is. Is in Alaska
190
00:12:09,690 --> 00:12:12,310
because it makes sense. you know, given that you
191
00:12:12,310 --> 00:12:17,420
know, the Chinese had. Were attacking Alaska. and
192
00:12:17,420 --> 00:12:20,340
we saw the flashback with Cooper. we saw the you
193
00:12:20,340 --> 00:12:23,820
know, the course with the post credit in episode
194
00:12:23,820 --> 00:12:27,690
eight with the brotherhood. the cleric, now he's
195
00:12:27,690 --> 00:12:30,690
the destroyer and the Liberty Alpha armor, which
196
00:12:30,690 --> 00:12:34,050
is a, you know, callback to. To also to the war.
197
00:12:34,550 --> 00:12:36,320
and this was like a super weapon that the United
198
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:39,040
States had built as far as the Liberty Alpha
199
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:42,640
robot. So. Yeah. So I think that that enclave
200
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:44,520
facility is actually probably in Alaska.
201
00:12:45,330 --> 00:12:48,370
>> Sarah : Okay. So we're gonna head back there eventually.
202
00:12:48,610 --> 00:12:49,330
Interesting.
203
00:12:49,330 --> 00:12:50,850
>> Will: Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
204
00:12:50,930 --> 00:12:54,090
>> Sarah : Or. Or if. Unless we don't have to because there's
205
00:12:54,090 --> 00:12:57,610
that. There is that facility that we. We first met
206
00:12:57,610 --> 00:13:00,940
Wizik in, which is in California, so.
207
00:13:01,420 --> 00:13:01,900
>> Will: True.
208
00:13:01,980 --> 00:13:05,140
>> Sarah : Yeah. But but we know. We know the ghoul is headed
209
00:13:05,140 --> 00:13:06,620
to Colorado, so.
210
00:13:06,620 --> 00:13:09,660
>> Will: Yep. Yeah, I know he's going there. Yep.
211
00:13:09,990 --> 00:13:14,190
>> Sarah : Right. Right. And who knows where what Maximus and
212
00:13:14,190 --> 00:13:16,950
Lucy are gonna be up to, considering both of them
213
00:13:16,950 --> 00:13:18,550
managed to start wars.
214
00:13:22,550 --> 00:13:23,030
>> Will: Yeah.
215
00:13:23,510 --> 00:13:26,760
>> Sarah : Granted, I didn't realize how, how much of a
216
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:31,070
threat the, the legion was. I. For some reason,
217
00:13:31,070 --> 00:13:34,310
they didn't really seem too much of a threat to
218
00:13:34,310 --> 00:13:39,340
me. But then this episode happen, and, Macaulay
219
00:13:39,580 --> 00:13:42,780
Culkin was like, I'm gonna be king. And it's like,
220
00:13:42,780 --> 00:13:45,100
okay, you do you. You do you.
221
00:13:45,900 --> 00:13:48,300
>> Will: You do you. Caesar. Kaiser.
222
00:13:49,819 --> 00:13:52,540
>> Sarah : Caesar and Kaiser. Yeah. I'm so glad we actually
223
00:13:52,540 --> 00:13:56,630
saw the note so we could understand. here's
224
00:13:56,630 --> 00:14:00,420
someone else. that. That I think one of my issues
225
00:14:00,500 --> 00:14:03,780
is. Well, there's two people that don't get enough
226
00:14:03,780 --> 00:14:06,500
screen time, in my opinion, and I need more screen
227
00:14:06,500 --> 00:14:10,890
time for them in the future. Thaddeus. Okay. M.
228
00:14:10,890 --> 00:14:15,060
When Thaddeus had to reload, I cracked up.
229
00:14:15,540 --> 00:14:16,020
>> Will: Yeah.
230
00:14:16,020 --> 00:14:19,860
>> Sarah : And like, when Thaddeus. Everything they did with
231
00:14:19,860 --> 00:14:23,220
Thaddeus in the finale was pitch perfect. But I've
232
00:14:23,220 --> 00:14:25,340
been saying that all season, so nobody should be
233
00:14:25,340 --> 00:14:29,200
surprised by that. And I just. I just want more of
234
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:32,600
him. Like, I feel as though when he's not around,
235
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:34,600
we need him.
236
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:36,600
>> Will: Yeah. Yeah.
237
00:14:37,270 --> 00:14:42,309
>> Sarah : but the other person is arguably Norm. And it's
238
00:14:42,309 --> 00:14:45,510
not because Norm would deliver comedic relief.
239
00:14:45,510 --> 00:14:47,870
It's just because he's going through something
240
00:14:48,030 --> 00:14:55,900
very interesting. and I. The whole killer wasp in,
241
00:14:56,610 --> 00:14:59,370
sequence. That's what I'm calling them. I'm sorry
242
00:14:59,370 --> 00:15:03,850
if they're not wasp, but whatever. Ro. I had
243
00:15:03,850 --> 00:15:06,010
roaches at the beginning, and then some of the
244
00:15:06,010 --> 00:15:09,010
features I was like, is that. I don't know. It's.
245
00:15:09,010 --> 00:15:12,570
It's terrifying. Regardless, I did think it was a
246
00:15:12,570 --> 00:15:17,260
bit stupid the way Norm got out of it, but at the
247
00:15:17,260 --> 00:15:20,940
same time, I'm glad that we're not going to be
248
00:15:21,020 --> 00:15:25,180
having him. Ver. Like the Buds versus him moving
249
00:15:25,180 --> 00:15:28,470
forward. because they kind of played that out. And
250
00:15:28,790 --> 00:15:31,110
dear Lord, the amount of times they must have
251
00:15:31,110 --> 00:15:33,470
knocked him out. Norm's never going to be the
252
00:15:33,470 --> 00:15:33,750
same.
253
00:15:34,710 --> 00:15:38,350
>> Will: Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was thinking that too. It's
254
00:15:38,350 --> 00:15:42,260
just like, Just stop it already, man. You know,
255
00:15:42,260 --> 00:15:44,660
give. Give poor Norm a break. But I'm glad that
256
00:15:44,660 --> 00:15:47,450
he. That Norm. And, I can't remember the young
257
00:15:47,450 --> 00:15:49,550
lady's. But he. That was helping him throughout.
258
00:15:49,550 --> 00:15:53,230
But I'm glad they escaped. But I. But again, it
259
00:15:53,230 --> 00:16:00,030
was good that they wrapped up that the Bud Buds,
260
00:16:01,740 --> 00:16:04,820
storyline up. And so we can, you know, move on to,
261
00:16:04,820 --> 00:16:07,410
to the next thing because, I, I, I, to me,
262
00:16:07,410 --> 00:16:10,890
whenever, other than Norm, when it was great, it,
263
00:16:10,890 --> 00:16:13,330
like you said, it was cool seeing him. You know,
264
00:16:13,330 --> 00:16:16,570
he had some pretty interesting moments, but I did
265
00:16:16,570 --> 00:16:19,330
feel like things kind of ground to a halt whenever
266
00:16:19,330 --> 00:16:20,970
they did, you know, into those scenes.
267
00:16:21,130 --> 00:16:26,490
>> Sarah : Yeah, they, well, now it's him and Lucy reuniting
268
00:16:26,730 --> 00:16:31,290
because I think they did also a good job with the
269
00:16:34,730 --> 00:16:39,360
the whole sequence, between Hank and Lucy. And in
270
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:42,070
that he and please correct me if I'm wrong, but my
271
00:16:42,070 --> 00:16:44,710
interpretation. So he like reset himself.
272
00:16:45,270 --> 00:16:46,390
>> Will: He did, he did.
273
00:16:46,390 --> 00:16:51,870
>> Sarah : And, and so now he, he is definitely not the same
274
00:16:51,870 --> 00:16:54,790
guy we met at the beginning of the season. And he
275
00:16:54,790 --> 00:16:59,830
is also not the father that Lucy has known her
276
00:16:59,830 --> 00:17:02,400
whole life. because he doesn't have any
277
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:06,270
recollection. So, so if you think about it, next
278
00:17:06,270 --> 00:17:09,870
season, likely Norm and Lucy are going to connect
279
00:17:09,950 --> 00:17:15,150
soon early on because then it's going to be her
280
00:17:15,150 --> 00:17:21,630
trying to explain to him who their father was and
281
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:25,401
trying to get him to figure out what he did
282
00:17:25,401 --> 00:17:28,001
because we don't know to the full extent
283
00:17:28,721 --> 00:17:32,801
everything that Hank did leading up to that moment
284
00:17:33,231 --> 00:17:35,951
and it was a beautiful and well acted moment. It
285
00:17:35,951 --> 00:17:39,151
really, really was great, some great acting,
286
00:17:39,291 --> 00:17:43,561
between both of them in that scene. But then you,
287
00:17:43,561 --> 00:17:48,321
you take that scene and you hear Norm and his
288
00:17:48,321 --> 00:17:52,521
pleas for help to his father. It's like, ooh, when
289
00:17:52,521 --> 00:17:56,161
he finds out, he's a, not gonna believe it
290
00:17:56,161 --> 00:18:01,541
instantly and then B, that he's gonna like, that's
291
00:18:01,541 --> 00:18:05,061
gonna be just like what we're seeing with Lucy. A
292
00:18:05,061 --> 00:18:08,861
hard pill to swallow, especially when she was able
293
00:18:08,861 --> 00:18:13,181
to witness it firsthand. But Norm has to take her
294
00:18:13,181 --> 00:18:17,741
word for it. So I, I think the siblings need to be
295
00:18:17,821 --> 00:18:21,821
back together and, and both of their differing
296
00:18:21,821 --> 00:18:26,671
experiences so far on the surface, it'll be
297
00:18:26,671 --> 00:18:29,591
interesting to see where that takes those two.
298
00:18:29,591 --> 00:18:31,511
Hopefully. To Colorado.
299
00:18:32,871 --> 00:18:37,861
>> Will: Yeah, yeah, yeah, to Colorado. or, you know, or.
300
00:18:37,861 --> 00:18:42,461
Well, given that as we, as we joked earlier that
301
00:18:42,941 --> 00:18:49,631
both that Lucy, is going to be somewhat directly
302
00:18:49,631 --> 00:18:52,611
responsible for, know, starting a war between the
303
00:18:53,091 --> 00:18:55,531
Legion and the, and, and the New California
304
00:18:55,531 --> 00:18:58,661
Republic. you know, that, that that storyline may
305
00:18:58,661 --> 00:19:01,911
be what gets, what, what will play out, the f,
306
00:19:02,151 --> 00:19:05,911
the, the ramifications of, of her actions that,
307
00:19:05,911 --> 00:19:07,751
that, that took place this season.
308
00:19:08,631 --> 00:19:17,881
>> Sarah : Yeah, yeah, I, I, she's gonna, yeah, I, I think
309
00:19:17,881 --> 00:19:22,601
you're right. I, I, I don't think it's gonna be a
310
00:19:22,601 --> 00:19:31,201
quick reunion. I just, I just think that these
311
00:19:31,201 --> 00:19:34,731
characters are, I don't want these seasons where
312
00:19:35,211 --> 00:19:39,281
again, the characters are separated, so we're
313
00:19:39,281 --> 00:19:41,721
following all of these different stories only for
314
00:19:41,721 --> 00:19:45,041
them to somewhat reunite at the end and for it to
315
00:19:45,041 --> 00:19:49,161
come full circle. Like, I, I want some pairings
316
00:19:49,161 --> 00:19:53,921
now. I do. Hopefully. I, I do like the idea of new
317
00:19:53,921 --> 00:19:58,481
pairings. Sure. That that is a thing. And on that
318
00:19:58,481 --> 00:20:01,521
note, free chat. Okay. Chat needs to get to the
319
00:20:01,521 --> 00:20:03,841
surface because I'm kind of curious about to see
320
00:20:03,841 --> 00:20:09,261
him on the surface, but I, I just, At the same
321
00:20:09,261 --> 00:20:15,821
time, so far we've built some relationships that I
322
00:20:15,821 --> 00:20:21,101
think it would be cool to, to see them together on
323
00:20:21,581 --> 00:20:27,341
one mission as opposed to. Or, or. There was some
324
00:20:27,341 --> 00:20:30,861
really good episodes in the first season where it
325
00:20:30,861 --> 00:20:34,551
did feel like these characters, Maximus, Ghoul and
326
00:20:34,551 --> 00:20:37,431
Lucy in particular were together on the same
327
00:20:37,431 --> 00:20:40,631
mission but motivated by different things. Yeah,
328
00:20:40,631 --> 00:20:44,231
and I think that's, yeah, that's more interesting
329
00:20:44,471 --> 00:20:47,111
than a lot of what we've had this season, which is
330
00:20:47,111 --> 00:20:50,071
the, like them really on their own missions,
331
00:20:50,231 --> 00:20:53,981
experience their own experiences. and then it
332
00:20:53,981 --> 00:20:55,141
connects at the end.
333
00:20:56,271 --> 00:21:00,751
>> Will: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I do. Yeah, I like that as well.
334
00:21:00,831 --> 00:21:04,331
Where, with. As you said. And, and maybe that's
335
00:21:04,331 --> 00:21:09,691
where it's going because, because we, we, you
336
00:21:09,691 --> 00:21:11,931
know, like I said, we have Lucy, you know, we have
337
00:21:11,931 --> 00:21:15,691
the news California Republic and the, the. The
338
00:21:15,691 --> 00:21:20,751
Legion, seeming to be getting ready for a
339
00:21:20,751 --> 00:21:24,161
conflict. You also have the brotherhood that that
340
00:21:24,161 --> 00:21:28,441
was also still has conflict with the new
341
00:21:28,441 --> 00:21:31,481
California Republic. And, and then also, you know,
342
00:21:31,641 --> 00:21:34,441
even within the brotherhood, they were trying to
343
00:21:34,441 --> 00:21:37,691
pull themselves together, you know, earlier in the
344
00:21:37,691 --> 00:21:41,281
season with, with the cold fusion diode. So, so
345
00:21:41,281 --> 00:21:43,201
we, what's the, what's going to be the,
346
00:21:43,301 --> 00:21:47,601
implications of that? you know, especially given
347
00:21:47,601 --> 00:21:49,191
that Maximus.
348
00:21:51,601 --> 00:21:54,681
>> Will: Broke away from the, from the brotherhood. And so,
349
00:21:54,681 --> 00:21:56,241
you know, so there's going to be that. That's
350
00:21:56,241 --> 00:21:58,161
another element that will definitely with that
351
00:21:58,161 --> 00:22:01,561
post credit tease will, will be fleshed out more
352
00:22:01,561 --> 00:22:02,721
in, in the third season.
353
00:22:05,441 --> 00:22:13,251
>> Sarah : Yeah, I, I do. I, I do want to say one thing about
354
00:22:13,251 --> 00:22:16,771
the brotherhood. I, I was strong on the
355
00:22:16,771 --> 00:22:21,691
brotherhood at the beginning and, and, and so now
356
00:22:22,491 --> 00:22:24,851
the way we had that tease at the end that I could
357
00:22:24,851 --> 00:22:28,541
care less about. I think that the brotherhood only
358
00:22:28,541 --> 00:22:32,021
works when Maximus is around it and involved in
359
00:22:32,021 --> 00:22:37,511
it. so far it doesn't work. Which. Hey, Thaddeus
360
00:22:39,111 --> 00:22:41,631
wasn't. Wasn't Thaddeus somewhat involved with the
361
00:22:41,631 --> 00:22:42,671
brotherhood, if I'm not mistaken?
362
00:22:42,671 --> 00:22:45,191
>> Will: Oh, yeah, he was. He was. Yeah, yeah, he was. He
363
00:22:45,191 --> 00:22:45,831
was a squire.
364
00:22:46,071 --> 00:22:50,031
>> Sarah : Yeah, he was a squire. So. So it'd be cool because
365
00:22:50,031 --> 00:22:55,351
we. I just. I just think that that storyline works
366
00:22:55,671 --> 00:23:00,181
when Maximus and Thaddeus are involved, because
367
00:23:00,181 --> 00:23:03,341
we've spent the most time with them. Quintus
368
00:23:03,341 --> 00:23:07,661
doesn't mean anything to me when. Or any of those
369
00:23:07,661 --> 00:23:11,341
other characters, but I've said that about, like,
370
00:23:11,341 --> 00:23:13,341
Stephanie in the past, so who knows?
371
00:23:13,541 --> 00:23:15,931
>> Will: yeah, and then we got. Yeah, and then we got great
372
00:23:15,931 --> 00:23:19,211
payoff with Stephanie, this, with. With her, with
373
00:23:19,211 --> 00:23:21,931
the cold open, and. And we learn more about her
374
00:23:21,931 --> 00:23:23,811
backstory and also connection to Hank. I mean,
375
00:23:23,811 --> 00:23:25,971
they were. They were married. I mean, and so, you
376
00:23:25,971 --> 00:23:28,061
know, so she's a. So she's a part of the enclave.
377
00:23:28,061 --> 00:23:34,381
So, you know, so it's again, you know, House ref.
378
00:23:34,381 --> 00:23:36,541
You know, reference that there's other. There's
379
00:23:36,541 --> 00:23:39,781
another player out there who. Who is playing this
380
00:23:39,781 --> 00:23:42,821
game and, And. And pulling this, pulling the
381
00:23:42,821 --> 00:23:43,141
strings.
382
00:23:44,661 --> 00:23:45,221
>> Sarah : It's not.
383
00:23:46,261 --> 00:23:46,821
>> Will: No, no.
384
00:23:47,061 --> 00:23:49,621
>> Sarah : And it's not Stephanie. Stephanie is just a.
385
00:23:50,101 --> 00:23:55,661
Another, Another acolyte. Yeah. Yeah, but, I mean,
386
00:23:57,501 --> 00:24:02,211
she. Her mom knew more than, than even she did.
387
00:24:02,291 --> 00:24:05,011
So. So, yeah, the Canadian connection is strong
388
00:24:05,091 --> 00:24:09,291
there with the enclave. So I don't know if we've
389
00:24:09,291 --> 00:24:12,611
met them or haven't met them, because we do see
390
00:24:13,091 --> 00:24:16,841
that in the past, a decision Cooper Howard makes
391
00:24:16,841 --> 00:24:21,591
to hand over, that thing to the U. S. President
392
00:24:21,751 --> 00:24:26,901
played by Clancy Brown, ultimately led to what
393
00:24:27,061 --> 00:24:30,571
happened, only like, what, a month or a few weeks
394
00:24:30,571 --> 00:24:31,851
later. So.
395
00:24:31,851 --> 00:24:35,131
>> Will: Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then, you know, and also how
396
00:24:35,131 --> 00:24:37,811
Cooper. I mean, we saw his fall from grace as far
397
00:24:37,811 --> 00:24:40,551
as, you know, whenever we first meet him, in the
398
00:24:40,551 --> 00:24:43,081
first season. Well, what, the flashbacks, you
399
00:24:43,081 --> 00:24:46,591
know, he was a. He was a singing, cow cowboy, if I
400
00:24:46,591 --> 00:24:50,461
recall, for birthday parties and stuff. so, yeah,
401
00:24:50,461 --> 00:24:54,621
and we, you know, we see him give himself up to
402
00:24:54,621 --> 00:24:58,301
the feds, so. To protect. To protect Barb. So that
403
00:24:58,301 --> 00:25:00,741
was. That was another. That was another thing
404
00:25:00,741 --> 00:25:03,061
that. That I did not see coming, actually. I did
405
00:25:03,061 --> 00:25:06,711
like. I did like how, you know, how they made him
406
00:25:06,711 --> 00:25:11,861
into really full circle whenever, I think House
407
00:25:11,861 --> 00:25:14,301
got him a pinko communist or something like that.
408
00:25:14,441 --> 00:25:16,351
and then, you know, and then they arrested him
409
00:25:16,351 --> 00:25:18,431
for, you know, for communism. So it was a good,
410
00:25:18,431 --> 00:25:20,871
like, you know, the parallels with, you know, with
411
00:25:20,871 --> 00:25:24,231
real world, with McCarthyism. and we see that in.
412
00:25:24,231 --> 00:25:28,711
In this. In this fallout, universe as well. So I
413
00:25:28,711 --> 00:25:30,751
did like that aspect of the story.
414
00:25:33,961 --> 00:25:34,841
>> Sarah : Anything else?
415
00:25:37,511 --> 00:25:40,401
>> Will: no, I mean, I think, Like, yeah, as I said, you
416
00:25:40,401 --> 00:25:44,481
know, overall, I think these two episodes really
417
00:25:44,481 --> 00:25:47,951
highlighted some of the strong things about, this.
418
00:25:47,951 --> 00:25:51,711
This series but then also some of the frustrating
419
00:25:51,711 --> 00:25:54,701
aspects of it as well. for me, I know you said you
420
00:25:54,701 --> 00:25:56,741
like the seventh episode better than the eighth. I
421
00:25:56,741 --> 00:25:58,501
think I like the finale better than I like the up
422
00:25:58,501 --> 00:26:00,981
and ultimate. But. But, But yeah, you know, we'll.
423
00:26:00,981 --> 00:26:04,451
We will get. We. We do know that, there is a third
424
00:26:04,451 --> 00:26:08,251
season of Fallout coming. Amazon has, green lit
425
00:26:08,251 --> 00:26:10,561
that, beyond the third season. I'm not sure if
426
00:26:10,561 --> 00:26:13,571
they. If they've gotten any more or not. But, we
427
00:26:13,571 --> 00:26:15,331
definitely know. We'll. We'll see that another.
428
00:26:15,331 --> 00:26:16,251
Probably another year.
429
00:26:17,851 --> 00:26:21,051
>> Sarah : Yeah. The one thing I did not see coming in the
430
00:26:21,051 --> 00:26:24,291
seventh episode was re. Representative Walsh's
431
00:26:24,291 --> 00:26:28,951
decapitated head. And then I did love the whole
432
00:26:28,951 --> 00:26:32,551
interaction with Lucy in the. Please kill me and
433
00:26:32,551 --> 00:26:35,551
Lucy just being like, why do I keep having like,
434
00:26:35,551 --> 00:26:39,031
why do people want me to kill them here? Like,
435
00:26:39,031 --> 00:26:43,511
what world this. It does it. And it was. It was so
436
00:26:43,511 --> 00:26:47,511
fitting. but man. Man, what did not see that
437
00:26:47,511 --> 00:26:51,441
coming. And And yeah, I. There's something about
438
00:26:51,441 --> 00:26:54,091
Amazon and these rated R shows with, heads
439
00:26:54,091 --> 00:26:57,411
exploding and decapitated heads talking. So
440
00:26:58,611 --> 00:27:02,131
anyways. All right, that brings us to a Night of
441
00:27:02,131 --> 00:27:04,471
the Seven Kingdoms. season one, episode three. The
442
00:27:04,471 --> 00:27:07,231
squire, Sir Duncan prepares for the tournament and
443
00:27:07,231 --> 00:27:09,711
much more is revealed about Egg. Will, what did
444
00:27:09,711 --> 00:27:10,871
you think about this episode?
445
00:27:12,071 --> 00:27:15,471
>> Will: Oh, I really, really, really, really enjoyed this
446
00:27:15,471 --> 00:27:18,871
episode. with the. With the reveal with just the
447
00:27:18,871 --> 00:27:25,011
story that you know, Duncan, you know, the
448
00:27:25,011 --> 00:27:27,251
relationship between Dunk and Egg, I just have to
449
00:27:27,251 --> 00:27:32,801
say this kid, Egg really to me just is my. One of
450
00:27:32,801 --> 00:27:34,841
my favorites. I mean, and haven't read the book
451
00:27:34,841 --> 00:27:38,841
now and it feels like the. The character has this.
452
00:27:38,841 --> 00:27:41,481
This comes to life on. On that I read in the book
453
00:27:41,481 --> 00:27:44,541
comes to life on screen. and so with the. With the
454
00:27:44,541 --> 00:27:46,871
reveal that we got this week, really, really,
455
00:27:46,871 --> 00:27:50,581
really enjoyed that. But also I think, the. You
456
00:27:50,581 --> 00:27:54,691
know, some of the class, warfare that, you know,
457
00:27:54,691 --> 00:27:58,131
as far as, you know. You know, we see that, you
458
00:27:58,131 --> 00:28:01,411
know, this. This show has been, you know, a day in
459
00:28:01,411 --> 00:28:03,531
the life of sort of the commoners in Westeros.
460
00:28:03,531 --> 00:28:06,321
And. And we see some of that on display with the
461
00:28:06,321 --> 00:28:10,011
Targaryens there at the tournament. And And then,
462
00:28:10,411 --> 00:28:14,021
yeah. And then also, you know, we learn more about
463
00:28:14,021 --> 00:28:17,011
Dunk as far as his character with some of the.
464
00:28:17,091 --> 00:28:21,261
With the choices that he. He makes as far as,
465
00:28:21,531 --> 00:28:23,611
whenever he was approached about, you know,
466
00:28:23,691 --> 00:28:27,521
throwing, the joust. So really, really enjoyed,
467
00:28:27,751 --> 00:28:30,351
this episode. I think it's probably each one Each
468
00:28:30,351 --> 00:28:33,151
week I could continue to enjoy this, the series
469
00:28:33,151 --> 00:28:33,831
more and more.
470
00:28:36,831 --> 00:28:39,671
>> Sarah : okay, let's talk about Duncan the Joust, because I
471
00:28:39,671 --> 00:28:44,121
forgot about that. so he gets a proposition to
472
00:28:44,601 --> 00:28:50,961
basically, to win the. A joust, in return for,
473
00:28:51,411 --> 00:28:54,351
money. So it's a payoff, it's a setup. It is a
474
00:28:54,351 --> 00:28:57,751
victory, but it's a victory with an asterisk on.
475
00:28:57,911 --> 00:29:02,231
Like, yeah, we, we. We will plan for this to
476
00:29:02,231 --> 00:29:06,151
happen. And, and he has to wrestle with that. And,
477
00:29:06,391 --> 00:29:09,831
and in my opinion, he. We never really get an
478
00:29:09,831 --> 00:29:14,841
answer. he declines, but he's constantly being
479
00:29:14,841 --> 00:29:18,311
seen the next day second guessing himself and, and
480
00:29:18,941 --> 00:29:21,261
rightfully so because at one point in this
481
00:29:21,261 --> 00:29:23,661
episode, Egg, who doesn't know about the
482
00:29:23,661 --> 00:29:27,371
proposition, even tells him in a different
483
00:29:27,451 --> 00:29:30,341
circumstance. Like, you shouldn't let your. Your
484
00:29:30,341 --> 00:29:33,371
ego get in the way. I think there's a line from
485
00:29:33,371 --> 00:29:38,371
Egg I might be misquoting ah, him. But so, so
486
00:29:38,371 --> 00:29:41,651
yeah, I think. I think the irony of, of what
487
00:29:41,651 --> 00:29:45,771
they're doing with Duncan is, ah, is really good.
488
00:29:46,081 --> 00:29:52,441
and I just. I, I love Dexter soul and Soul as Egg.
489
00:29:52,441 --> 00:29:55,281
He's. He's been great. He's a good child actor.
490
00:29:56,961 --> 00:30:02,951
But Peter Claffy is just stealing my, My, my
491
00:30:02,951 --> 00:30:06,561
attention every episode. Yeah, because he is just
492
00:30:06,721 --> 00:30:12,961
so. He's not dumb, but he ain't smart. He's also,
493
00:30:13,601 --> 00:30:20,601
he's also. He, He. He's very lovable. And there's
494
00:30:20,601 --> 00:30:25,441
a naivety and there's also just this, this desire
495
00:30:26,481 --> 00:30:29,401
and which I think is very relatable of wanting
496
00:30:29,401 --> 00:30:33,051
something but not knowing how to get to it. And,
497
00:30:33,211 --> 00:30:36,731
and also, but also trying to make the illusion
498
00:30:37,051 --> 00:30:40,411
because you now have someone looking up to you
499
00:30:41,931 --> 00:30:44,211
that like, no, no, no, I know how to do this
500
00:30:44,211 --> 00:30:47,931
because that's how we see a bit of the opening is
501
00:30:48,011 --> 00:30:53,411
where. Where get my Garmer. Well, sir, that's not
502
00:30:53,411 --> 00:30:58,371
how this works. You cannot join the joust quite
503
00:30:58,371 --> 00:31:04,371
yet. And him having no idea. So I, I just between
504
00:31:04,531 --> 00:31:09,601
that and then the conversation with, I do try to
505
00:31:09,601 --> 00:31:13,401
take really good notes, but please people, keep in
506
00:31:13,401 --> 00:31:17,441
mind I'm gonna get people's names wrong, but I'm
507
00:31:17,441 --> 00:31:20,701
pretty sure it's Sir Robin Reisling. they have the
508
00:31:20,701 --> 00:31:24,321
conversation one on one and ah, and we learn that,
509
00:31:24,271 --> 00:31:27,311
Sir Robin's thoughts about the Targaryens and.
510
00:31:28,191 --> 00:31:32,431
>> Will: Oh, oh. So Rob. So Robin was the. Just. I'll jump
511
00:31:32,431 --> 00:31:35,541
in real fast. So Robin was the one that, Egg,
512
00:31:36,491 --> 00:31:38,451
encountered at the beginning episode. This was
513
00:31:38,451 --> 00:31:40,531
falsely. This is okay.
514
00:31:40,611 --> 00:31:46,771
>> Sarah : Yeah, yeah. Yeah. So, so whoever he was, we find
515
00:31:46,771 --> 00:31:52,341
out about just a glimmer about his opinion on the
516
00:31:52,341 --> 00:31:57,181
Targaryens and which, which is then visually or
517
00:31:57,341 --> 00:32:01,311
not then I'm getting things out of order. but is,
518
00:32:01,491 --> 00:32:03,881
earlier on in the episode. It's a conver. Okay.
519
00:32:03,881 --> 00:32:10,441
This conversation takes place after we spent too
520
00:32:10,441 --> 00:32:13,481
much time talking about fallout because I'm just
521
00:32:13,811 --> 00:32:18,171
tired now. But who's. Who's Eggs Brother Bass.
522
00:32:18,171 --> 00:32:18,611
>> Will: Oh.
523
00:32:18,611 --> 00:32:21,171
>> Sarah : Ar the one in the joust. Aryan.
524
00:32:21,171 --> 00:32:21,731
>> Will: Aryan.
525
00:32:21,891 --> 00:32:28,131
>> Sarah : Aran Aryan kills a horse and the guy. So anyways,
526
00:32:29,091 --> 00:32:31,251
we'll talk more about this episode because I'm
527
00:32:31,251 --> 00:32:32,611
tired, so. Go ahead.
528
00:32:34,291 --> 00:32:36,181
>> Will: Yeah, no, it's, it's fine. I'll give you a moment
529
00:32:36,181 --> 00:32:39,451
to like, get collect your thoughts. yeah, so I, I,
530
00:32:39,451 --> 00:32:42,091
I to pick up your point about the Targaryens.
531
00:32:42,091 --> 00:32:44,451
This, to me, this was, you know, it gets to my
532
00:32:44,451 --> 00:32:46,731
point when I, when we first started talking about,
533
00:32:47,101 --> 00:32:51,421
this, the, this episode. And, and really, I think
534
00:32:51,421 --> 00:32:57,651
it really illustrates again, how, you know, at
535
00:32:57,651 --> 00:33:00,131
this stage, you know, the dragons are gone, so the
536
00:33:00,131 --> 00:33:04,241
Targaryen, you know, whereas before the you know,
537
00:33:04,401 --> 00:33:06,881
fossil would probably. Raven would probably not
538
00:33:07,121 --> 00:33:10,681
even like, dare to like, talk that way about the
539
00:33:10,681 --> 00:33:13,721
Targaryens with. Especially when they could easily
540
00:33:13,721 --> 00:33:17,411
be an earshot. because, you know, you're just so
541
00:33:17,411 --> 00:33:20,051
worried that, you know, that you, it would be
542
00:33:20,051 --> 00:33:22,611
traitorous and, and you'll get, you know,
543
00:33:22,611 --> 00:33:24,811
literally killed for, for having those thoughts.
544
00:33:24,811 --> 00:33:29,051
But, you know, we see, we see this when Aryan does
545
00:33:29,051 --> 00:33:32,921
like, you know, kill. Kill, the horse in, in the
546
00:33:32,921 --> 00:33:37,511
joust by, you know, having his lance too low and,
547
00:33:38,391 --> 00:33:41,191
and you know, and then the crowd reaction to it.
548
00:33:41,351 --> 00:33:44,111
You know, think, you know, think about the House
549
00:33:44,111 --> 00:33:46,631
of the Dragon. You would. Yeah. You know, people
550
00:33:46,711 --> 00:33:49,551
in Westeros would probably be too afraid to like,
551
00:33:49,551 --> 00:33:52,471
challenge the Targaryens like that if, you know,
552
00:33:52,471 --> 00:33:57,501
if they just abuse their power. But here the, the
553
00:33:57,501 --> 00:34:00,301
crowd, whenever that happened and the horse, like,
554
00:34:00,301 --> 00:34:03,251
fell on the, the night and you know, crushes his
555
00:34:03,251 --> 00:34:06,931
legs and the people just, like, you know, start to
556
00:34:06,931 --> 00:34:09,611
revolt and, and really show their displeasure
557
00:34:09,611 --> 00:34:11,761
about what happened. you know, I think it
558
00:34:11,761 --> 00:34:14,121
definitely illustrates how things are different
559
00:34:14,361 --> 00:34:18,281
and how, and how the commoners view the Targaryens
560
00:34:18,921 --> 00:34:20,211
now, that they don't have their dragons.
561
00:34:22,491 --> 00:34:24,851
>> Sarah : Yeah. But there's still fear because they're. The
562
00:34:24,851 --> 00:34:29,451
Targaryens are still very much in power. So I,
563
00:34:29,541 --> 00:34:36,981
Like, I, I agree to an extent that they are. Like,
564
00:34:38,421 --> 00:34:40,701
in the past there would have been a dragon at the
565
00:34:40,701 --> 00:34:40,981
match.
566
00:34:41,701 --> 00:34:44,941
>> Will: So whatever that Would have. That would not have
567
00:34:44,941 --> 00:34:46,101
happened. Yeah, that's my point.
568
00:34:46,421 --> 00:34:48,581
>> Sarah : Right, right. Exactly. Exactly.
569
00:34:48,821 --> 00:34:49,141
>> Will: Yeah.
570
00:34:49,221 --> 00:34:55,861
>> Sarah : But. But it's also. But then. But then they see.
571
00:34:56,181 --> 00:34:59,701
And where I quiver, I guess, is just that, like,
572
00:34:59,701 --> 00:35:03,431
even though they. They, have that uprising, I
573
00:35:03,431 --> 00:35:06,181
don't know what you want to call it, they. They
574
00:35:06,181 --> 00:35:09,741
still end up like, later. Aryan still gets led
575
00:35:09,741 --> 00:35:14,631
into the puppet show and he still manages to. To
576
00:35:14,631 --> 00:35:19,551
disrupt that. So I don't know. I don't know if. If
577
00:35:19,551 --> 00:35:24,791
there's. There's as much fear, but I don't know.
578
00:35:25,351 --> 00:35:27,671
>> Will: Yeah, I think there is some. Because. Yeah,
579
00:35:27,671 --> 00:35:29,911
because let's talk about. I mean, think about the
580
00:35:29,911 --> 00:35:32,031
puppet show and the dragon losing and, you know,
581
00:35:32,031 --> 00:35:36,551
and his. His response to it, you know, know, which
582
00:35:36,551 --> 00:35:39,951
leads to the whole. Whole thing where dunk, like,
583
00:35:40,191 --> 00:35:43,001
you know, strikes him, which again, you know,
584
00:35:43,001 --> 00:35:46,121
could you imagine just a commoner striking like.
585
00:35:46,361 --> 00:35:52,361
Like Damon, you know, and also, you.
586
00:35:52,361 --> 00:35:57,151
>> Sarah : Know, so I think, Duncan's reaction fits for who
587
00:35:57,151 --> 00:35:59,551
we've were presented with. He doesn't understand
588
00:35:59,951 --> 00:36:03,311
the rules of this society. He's now placed into
589
00:36:03,311 --> 00:36:08,991
the society. So I think, if. If. I think for him
590
00:36:10,511 --> 00:36:15,351
wasn't surprising to me that he had that reaction
591
00:36:15,751 --> 00:36:20,031
knowing now, knowing who he is for the last hour
592
00:36:20,031 --> 00:36:24,111
and a half of this. Of this story. And. And it
593
00:36:24,111 --> 00:36:27,511
also doesn't surprise me, like, Aryan's reaction
594
00:36:27,991 --> 00:36:31,271
to the thing. But I think, to your point, that
595
00:36:31,271 --> 00:36:35,271
puppet show wouldn't have happened like 50 years
596
00:36:35,271 --> 00:36:37,831
in the past, 200 years in the past, whatever.
597
00:36:37,831 --> 00:36:38,151
>> Will: Right?
598
00:36:38,471 --> 00:36:43,661
>> Sarah : So it would definitely happen in the future. yeah,
599
00:36:43,741 --> 00:36:47,421
but it's. It. It is an interesting thing. And
600
00:36:47,821 --> 00:36:54,431
that's. That is one of the, And yeah, I. I like
601
00:36:54,511 --> 00:36:58,431
how they do that or are doing that with the whole.
602
00:37:00,751 --> 00:37:06,711
We're talking about very large society issues. but
603
00:37:07,431 --> 00:37:10,711
at the same token, this show is very. A very
604
00:37:10,711 --> 00:37:14,721
simple telling about one. One hedge night and a
605
00:37:14,721 --> 00:37:18,401
squire who just so happens to be Targaryen. Now,
606
00:37:18,561 --> 00:37:21,871
I. I know the question that, And I'm surprised
607
00:37:21,871 --> 00:37:24,591
Will has not asked me. I was not surprised by Egg
608
00:37:24,591 --> 00:37:25,591
being Targaryen.
609
00:37:26,151 --> 00:37:26,791
>> Will: Okay.
610
00:37:28,151 --> 00:37:32,271
>> Sarah : It was not a reveal to me. And now I will. I do
611
00:37:32,271 --> 00:37:36,321
have an asterisk on this because, there was. I
612
00:37:36,321 --> 00:37:38,901
think after I watched the first episode, I
613
00:37:38,901 --> 00:37:42,501
randomly and accidentally stumbled upon an AI
614
00:37:42,501 --> 00:37:46,451
generated, TikTok video that alluded to him being
615
00:37:46,451 --> 00:37:51,251
a Targaryen. And so that seed was planted, like,
616
00:37:51,571 --> 00:37:55,731
all the way back then to me. So I don't know if
617
00:37:55,811 --> 00:38:00,891
because of watching that, I figured it out or not.
618
00:38:01,171 --> 00:38:04,811
figured it out. I already had that in my mind,
619
00:38:04,811 --> 00:38:09,111
like that was gonna be a thing or it was the fact
620
00:38:09,111 --> 00:38:13,831
that, what. In episode two, we find out that one
621
00:38:13,831 --> 00:38:17,071
of the Targaryen princes, his sons, are missing.
622
00:38:17,071 --> 00:38:21,311
And. Oh yeah, we met. We met one of them drunkenly
623
00:38:21,311 --> 00:38:26,271
in the first episode. So we also know that that
624
00:38:26,271 --> 00:38:29,791
Egg, like, he knows too much. I even said that
625
00:38:29,791 --> 00:38:34,871
last week. And then in this episode, there's the
626
00:38:34,871 --> 00:38:37,271
fortune teller scene. They should have not
627
00:38:37,271 --> 00:38:40,951
included that. I just. I. That was a stupid note
628
00:38:40,951 --> 00:38:45,871
that did not need to be in there because. And. And
629
00:38:45,871 --> 00:38:49,351
I say that while knowing that was much less about
630
00:38:49,351 --> 00:38:53,791
the reveal and much more about the reason for Egg
631
00:38:53,791 --> 00:38:58,031
wanting to be in disguise in general. Like, he is
632
00:38:58,031 --> 00:39:05,071
very. He doesn't like the Targaryen way, but he's
633
00:39:05,071 --> 00:39:09,321
very much is a Targaryen. So, he has that conflict
634
00:39:09,401 --> 00:39:10,601
going on with him.
635
00:39:11,561 --> 00:39:12,281
>> Will: Yeah, yeah.
636
00:39:12,281 --> 00:39:14,761
>> Sarah : And him shaking his head. So.
637
00:39:15,881 --> 00:39:19,391
>> Will: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that, I. Yeah. So the. This. So
638
00:39:19,391 --> 00:39:21,751
the. The fortune teller scene was. Was added
639
00:39:22,231 --> 00:39:27,841
because. And I. And I. And so I. I agree that it.
640
00:39:27,921 --> 00:39:33,051
For me, it did not add much. for me. I was. I was
641
00:39:33,051 --> 00:39:35,821
wondering when we would get, You know, given that
642
00:39:35,821 --> 00:39:37,541
they. How they have like, shifted some things
643
00:39:37,541 --> 00:39:41,781
around in, you know, in the. From the. Most things
644
00:39:41,781 --> 00:39:45,221
are followed along with the novella, but I thought
645
00:39:45,221 --> 00:39:47,021
maybe we would get the reveal maybe in the fourth
646
00:39:47,021 --> 00:39:50,311
episode. So when we. When we got it this week and
647
00:39:50,311 --> 00:39:53,231
it plays out pretty much, you know, pretty similar
648
00:39:53,231 --> 00:39:54,631
to how. How.
649
00:39:54,631 --> 00:39:54,911
>> Sarah : How.
650
00:39:54,911 --> 00:39:58,231
>> Will: How it played out in the book as well. And so I,
651
00:39:58,231 --> 00:40:01,231
you know, so I knew it was. So when I. I was very
652
00:40:01,231 --> 00:40:03,391
satisfied with the reveal because then I think
653
00:40:03,391 --> 00:40:07,591
part of it is, is how well acted, Dexter and. And.
654
00:40:07,591 --> 00:40:11,011
And Peter, just. They just nail. You know, they
655
00:40:11,011 --> 00:40:14,691
really did nail the. The. The. The. The. The
656
00:40:14,691 --> 00:40:19,051
actors and casting, you know, them to play these
657
00:40:19,051 --> 00:40:23,291
characters. So it was. So it. I. It was very
658
00:40:23,291 --> 00:40:27,111
satisfying, to watch the scene, and, And. And
659
00:40:27,111 --> 00:40:30,121
really just sort of. Sort of enjoyed, this. Just
660
00:40:30,121 --> 00:40:32,761
the whole. The whole. The whole aspect of it. But,
661
00:40:32,761 --> 00:40:34,551
Yeah, I agree with you with the, With the, The
662
00:40:34,551 --> 00:40:37,841
fortune teller. Yeah, it just, you know, there
663
00:40:37,841 --> 00:40:39,921
were some additions, like even with the. With the
664
00:40:39,921 --> 00:40:42,601
scene at the beginning with the cold. With the
665
00:40:42,601 --> 00:40:46,351
open, With. With Duncan, you know, training the.
666
00:40:46,351 --> 00:40:49,701
The training the horse, that was also a nice ad.
667
00:40:49,971 --> 00:40:54,091
and. And yeah, so, you know, and of course they
668
00:40:54,091 --> 00:40:56,051
always have. You know, I think we. We have to have
669
00:40:56,051 --> 00:40:58,611
some potty humor when, you know, had the horse
670
00:40:58,611 --> 00:41:00,571
death, you know, shitting there at the beginning
671
00:41:00,571 --> 00:41:02,691
so, you know, we got our one little joke here at
672
00:41:02,691 --> 00:41:04,331
the beginning. I think that's just, well, that's
673
00:41:04,331 --> 00:41:06,011
as par for the course with the show now.
674
00:41:06,421 --> 00:41:12,131
>> Sarah : but, but yeah, involving a central character to
675
00:41:12,131 --> 00:41:12,891
the episode.
676
00:41:13,531 --> 00:41:14,091
>> Will: Yeah.
677
00:41:14,891 --> 00:41:20,731
>> Sarah : So it's like I wasn't surpr. Like the, the horse.
678
00:41:20,941 --> 00:41:23,981
I was just relieved it had nothing to do with Egg.
679
00:41:24,781 --> 00:41:29,231
Like, I was like, no, no, no. Okay. Leave the kid
680
00:41:29,231 --> 00:41:30,311
alone. Okay.
681
00:41:30,391 --> 00:41:30,871
>> Will: Yeah.
682
00:41:31,751 --> 00:41:35,031
>> Sarah : So I think they, they, they did a smart route.
683
00:41:35,031 --> 00:41:38,751
But, you know, it'll be interesting next week as
684
00:41:38,751 --> 00:41:42,711
we go into episode four, five and six about who
685
00:41:43,431 --> 00:41:46,471
that opening scene will be with and what, what
686
00:41:46,471 --> 00:41:48,551
will be the quote unquote joke.
687
00:41:49,511 --> 00:41:51,921
>> Will: Yeah. so what that open is. Yeah, what that open
688
00:41:51,921 --> 00:41:54,921
is seen. So did you, how did you read that scene?
689
00:41:54,921 --> 00:41:58,111
Did you, did you take it as Egg training thunder?
690
00:41:58,111 --> 00:42:00,151
Or did you take it as he was just trying to sneak
691
00:42:00,151 --> 00:42:03,021
out of camp to, pretend to be a knight?
692
00:42:05,441 --> 00:42:07,601
>> Sarah : people actually subscribe to be.
693
00:42:10,161 --> 00:42:11,041
>> Will: Some people do.
694
00:42:11,841 --> 00:42:12,521
>> Sarah : Interesting.
695
00:42:12,521 --> 00:42:12,671
>> Will: I, don't.
696
00:42:12,831 --> 00:42:16,591
>> Sarah : That didn't make any sense to me. I read it. Hey,
697
00:42:16,591 --> 00:42:19,231
like, he was clearly trading. He.
698
00:42:19,471 --> 00:42:19,951
>> Will: Yeah.
699
00:42:20,601 --> 00:42:24,441
>> Sarah : If you subscribe to be, then please explain how
700
00:42:24,681 --> 00:42:29,961
Egg's decision at the end, because Egg could have
701
00:42:29,961 --> 00:42:32,771
let, if, if that was true, if that was
702
00:42:32,771 --> 00:42:36,531
hypothetically, if that was true, that that
703
00:42:36,531 --> 00:42:40,611
opening sequence was clearly Egg going off to play
704
00:42:40,611 --> 00:42:44,851
pretend night. Okay, then, then why at the end of
705
00:42:44,851 --> 00:42:51,541
the episode does he, he, come clean about who he
706
00:42:51,541 --> 00:42:56,741
is and he, it sacrifices his freedom that he
707
00:42:57,381 --> 00:43:02,181
desires for, to save the life of Duncan, like,
708
00:43:03,941 --> 00:43:07,341
would not motivationally. That doesn't work for
709
00:43:07,341 --> 00:43:12,101
the character. I, I, I can, I can see it is a kid,
710
00:43:12,101 --> 00:43:15,511
so he likes to play, but he, he was training. I
711
00:43:15,511 --> 00:43:18,151
mean, you get the whole speech about how his
712
00:43:18,151 --> 00:43:21,551
father, what his father thinks about horses, and
713
00:43:21,791 --> 00:43:25,231
there was some motivational talks, talking,
714
00:43:25,361 --> 00:43:29,281
occurring between Egg and the horse. So I, yeah,
715
00:43:29,281 --> 00:43:32,601
I, I didn't, I didn't really think that there was
716
00:43:32,601 --> 00:43:34,241
another way to interpret that.
717
00:43:35,041 --> 00:43:38,201
>> Will: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I, I did see some, I did see
718
00:43:38,201 --> 00:43:40,311
some chatter out there, where some people did
719
00:43:40,311 --> 00:43:42,871
think that. So I was just, I wanted to get your,
720
00:43:42,871 --> 00:43:45,861
get your sense of, of that. But yeah, yeah, to me
721
00:43:45,861 --> 00:43:49,661
it was very clear too that it was Egg was, was
722
00:43:49,661 --> 00:43:51,901
doing the, was doing the training sequence.
723
00:43:51,901 --> 00:43:55,321
>> Sarah : So, now on one hand, if they interpreted it that
724
00:43:55,321 --> 00:43:58,561
way, they could have been very surprised when Egg
725
00:43:58,561 --> 00:44:01,841
revealed himself as a Targaryen at the end. So it
726
00:44:01,841 --> 00:44:03,481
could have worked in their favor for that
727
00:44:03,481 --> 00:44:08,021
interpretation. But yeah, indeed, in hindsight,
728
00:44:08,181 --> 00:44:11,181
the interpretation doesn't add up. Granted, I've
729
00:44:11,181 --> 00:44:15,301
had some weird interpretations. So we'll, we'll,
730
00:44:15,301 --> 00:44:20,931
we, we will, we will see any, any other scenes
731
00:44:20,931 --> 00:44:24,211
that have had some interesting interpretations or
732
00:44:24,211 --> 00:44:27,651
some chatter that. Okay, okay, okay.
733
00:44:27,651 --> 00:44:29,811
>> Will: No, no, I mean, like I said, that was, that was,
734
00:44:29,811 --> 00:44:31,931
that was the one. the rest of it though, like I
735
00:44:31,931 --> 00:44:35,651
said, it was, you know, the deviations, overall, I
736
00:44:35,651 --> 00:44:38,301
thought the deviations from the Nolla, worked
737
00:44:38,301 --> 00:44:40,471
except for the fortune teller, but but, but the
738
00:44:40,471 --> 00:44:43,671
others I think all really added, added to the
739
00:44:43,671 --> 00:44:46,431
show, added to the story.
740
00:44:46,591 --> 00:44:51,311
>> Sarah : Yeah, yeah, I, I, I think the, the only other
741
00:44:51,311 --> 00:44:55,551
thing I want to say about this show and in talking
742
00:44:55,551 --> 00:44:58,711
about it these last few weeks and knowing that
743
00:44:58,711 --> 00:45:01,311
we're gonna get, we only got three more episodes
744
00:45:02,271 --> 00:45:06,641
left and later this year we're gonna, return to
745
00:45:06,641 --> 00:45:09,881
Westeros, albeit in the past Westeros with the
746
00:45:09,881 --> 00:45:15,881
House of Dragon. So season two of House of the
747
00:45:15,881 --> 00:45:18,081
Dragon, we all know, and if you've been a long
748
00:45:18,081 --> 00:45:20,401
term listener, you know, was not my favorite
749
00:45:20,401 --> 00:45:23,801
season and by the end of it, I hated that season.
750
00:45:24,521 --> 00:45:29,741
To this day I have my issues. and it was very much
751
00:45:29,741 --> 00:45:32,301
a surprise of the year. It was not on my bingo
752
00:45:32,301 --> 00:45:34,941
card to despise season two of House of Dragon. But
753
00:45:34,941 --> 00:45:39,621
we also know how much I love, I love season one of
754
00:45:39,621 --> 00:45:41,821
House of Dragon. I think that is an excellent
755
00:45:41,821 --> 00:45:44,861
season of television. Long live Viserys. Okay,
756
00:45:45,341 --> 00:45:50,061
okay. Long live Viserys. So, and then Game of
757
00:45:50,061 --> 00:45:54,501
Thrones, there are seasons that stand out. There
758
00:45:54,501 --> 00:45:56,651
are seasons that are very disappointing. There are
759
00:45:56,651 --> 00:45:58,851
character arcs that are very disappointed. There
760
00:45:58,851 --> 00:46:01,971
are character arcs like you're just like, wow. And
761
00:46:01,971 --> 00:46:07,171
there are episodes and it's, it has its highs and
762
00:46:07,171 --> 00:46:12,391
its lows. and now we're, we're at the third show
763
00:46:12,471 --> 00:46:16,151
in this universe and, and I say it, love it or
764
00:46:16,151 --> 00:46:20,711
hate it, the, the, the conversation is still
765
00:46:20,711 --> 00:46:24,451
occurring. I don't get a sense of burnout. It
766
00:46:25,091 --> 00:46:29,371
arguably so far, and maybe this is premature, I
767
00:46:29,371 --> 00:46:35,371
don't know, but I feel as though out of a lot of
768
00:46:35,371 --> 00:46:40,131
the franchises talking, your Star wars, your
769
00:46:40,131 --> 00:46:46,851
Marvel, your dcu, this world of Westeros, they
770
00:46:46,931 --> 00:46:52,241
continue to mine it in some of the best ways and,
771
00:46:52,881 --> 00:46:59,041
and, and also present us with originality yet
772
00:46:59,121 --> 00:47:03,481
still tied to this world that we know. So it's
773
00:47:03,481 --> 00:47:08,171
still familiar and it's it's really interesting
774
00:47:08,171 --> 00:47:13,901
and it, and it is granted, like again, there has
775
00:47:13,901 --> 00:47:17,101
been some low lows in this universe and yet we
776
00:47:17,181 --> 00:47:21,421
keep coming back in our surprise when it's like,
777
00:47:21,501 --> 00:47:25,181
okay, I still like being here. I like this new
778
00:47:25,181 --> 00:47:28,501
story because it seems to be connected, but not
779
00:47:28,501 --> 00:47:31,951
fully connected, to these other stories that I've
780
00:47:31,951 --> 00:47:37,151
heard before. Yeah. So I just, I. I wanted to put
781
00:47:37,151 --> 00:47:40,661
that out there because I. In this time of,
782
00:47:40,881 --> 00:47:47,331
franchises and, going back to the same. Well, I
783
00:47:47,331 --> 00:47:52,730
find that so far, Game of Thrones is doing it the
784
00:47:52,730 --> 00:47:56,041
best. and that may be premature, but that's just
785
00:47:56,041 --> 00:47:59,281
how I feel right now, being halfway through this
786
00:47:59,521 --> 00:48:02,441
third spin off of this, world.
787
00:48:03,641 --> 00:48:07,431
>> Will: Yeah, yeah, I hear you. Don't. I can't really. you
788
00:48:07,431 --> 00:48:10,031
know, I'm still working my way through the, you
789
00:48:10,031 --> 00:48:13,751
know, Game of Thrones, but, but, but I would agree
790
00:48:14,471 --> 00:48:18,521
with you, at least with House of the Dragon. M.
791
00:48:18,551 --> 00:48:20,951
yeah, they have definitely mind this universe very
792
00:48:20,951 --> 00:48:23,981
well and, bring a, bring a fresh perspectives for,
793
00:48:25,221 --> 00:48:26,581
for the franchise. So.
794
00:48:27,621 --> 00:48:31,341
>> Sarah : Yeah, yeah. And. And I know everyone talks about
795
00:48:31,341 --> 00:48:34,301
the Red Wedding from Game of Thrones, but the more
796
00:48:34,301 --> 00:48:37,781
I think about that show, there are other episodes
797
00:48:37,781 --> 00:48:41,181
that are underrated. So if you, like, Will have
798
00:48:41,181 --> 00:48:44,781
never seen it and think, like, some things aren't
799
00:48:44,781 --> 00:48:47,621
going to catch you off guard. No, no, no. There's
800
00:48:47,621 --> 00:48:51,061
some episodes people don't talk about. There's
801
00:48:51,061 --> 00:48:55,981
some stuff that happens. So, so anyway, we will be
802
00:48:55,981 --> 00:48:59,741
back in Westeros next week along with, we will
803
00:48:59,821 --> 00:49:04,161
start, a return to Marvel with Wonder man, at
804
00:49:04,161 --> 00:49:06,881
least the first half of that season that dropped
805
00:49:06,881 --> 00:49:09,601
recently. So on that note, Will, why don't you
806
00:49:09,601 --> 00:49:11,401
tell our listeners where they can find you?
807
00:49:12,201 --> 00:49:15,841
>> Will: Yes, you can find me on all the socials at will.
808
00:49:15,841 --> 00:49:18,601
And Polk. W I L, L, M M P O O K.
809
00:49:20,771 --> 00:49:22,091
>> Sarah : And I forgot to mention y'.
810
00:49:22,091 --> 00:49:22,291
>> Will: All.
811
00:49:22,691 --> 00:49:25,081
>> Sarah : and I'll talk more about this next time or at the
812
00:49:25,081 --> 00:49:27,361
end of February, because that's when the last four
813
00:49:27,361 --> 00:49:29,281
episodes come out. I did watch the first four
814
00:49:29,281 --> 00:49:32,321
episodes of season four of, Bridgerton. Okay, love
815
00:49:32,321 --> 00:49:36,961
it. And I want to say Netflix for only releasing,
816
00:49:37,121 --> 00:49:41,601
doing the stupid episode drop schedule. I. No, no,
817
00:49:42,001 --> 00:49:47,811
no. Okay, I needed, I needed the. I. I could have
818
00:49:47,811 --> 00:49:50,371
binged the full season in one sitting, y'. All.
819
00:49:50,521 --> 00:49:54,391
but anyway, more on that later. you can find me on
