@shakesofthrones We have largely decamped to Bluesky for the discourse. Would love to see you there. I was actually thinking a few days ago 'Who do I know with a cello?'

Just watched the first episode of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. What a treat! The tone is spot-on, and Dunk is just so darn genuine and lovable. I had very high expectations for whoever played this role, and I am already just so impressed by Peter Claffey.

Massive shout to Archie Barnes who plays Oscar Tully. Kid had to hold together the scenes at Harrenhal while matching up to Matt Smith and Simon Russell Beale and he absolutely crushes it.

@shakesofthrones and I had a great discussion about the archetypes of the seven as a prism for gender roles in Westeros. The Mother and the Maiden become roles that limit how Alicent and Rhaenyra are allowed to perform gender and how everyone (themselves included) see themselves!

A little late in my review—but I enjoyed S2E1 of #HotD. It felt a little clunky even for a table-setting episode, but that’s to be expected for the first episode after a season that had a lot of time jumps. Biggest issue for me was wondering how Jace grew out his hair so quickly-

@shakesofthrones I don't think his "Gyldayn Uncertainty Principle" has really penetrated beyond superfans like ourselves who have taken the book as intended, which is a choose your own adventure style romp in the Targaryen dynasty.

First video of #HouseoftheDragon season 2 is up now! Talking about all the new information and implications we got about Aegon the Conqueror and Torrhen Stark, the King Who knelt and how Torrhen may have been told about Aegon's dream. Come and see! youtube.com/watch?v=KJ1Xtu…

@TheJoeMagician @ranabir_mitra Hey, we bought it and read it. And now the “well, actually” when it comes to catching stuff that wasn’t in the show but was in the book comes with it’s only side of “well, actually”. Brilliant.

@ranabir_mitra A base level skepticism to anything in fire and blood and the long past. Plus knowing that Martin retcons stuff all the time.

I have some more thoughts after rewatching S1 this week, mostly on the topic of loose words and how the nobles seem to be so reckless in who hears them. Eavesdroppers don’t even have to try. What an era of unbridled hot goss. But that will be for another post.
