Seven Nights at the Kingdom.

All right.

I'm going to Seven Kingdoms.

I was going to say, actually, what I think this show does really well is I'm like,

I actually think that this returns to the heart of what Game of Thrones always was.

I think by the end of Game of Thrones, it becomes such a spectacle that by the time House of Dragon comes out, they're trying to compete with all the battles that you remember and all of the big moments in the CGI.

But if you remember those first few seasons of Game of Thrones,

It's a show about people in rooms and in fields talking.

And you get the alchemy of like the hound and Arya and these different connections.

And it's like the small intimate moments and emotional moments make the big battles mean so much more.

And why I love this pilot.

This was this almost never happens with this IP stuff.

I want to finish the whole season.

after the first episode i was so addicted to this world the characters and it's like i was more enthralled about just these characters in this field and these games and what it means that i had been in all of the like wars and prophecy that we've been getting for the last i was just like i want to just see how far this guy can go so you talk about game of thrones a lot

But I was hungry in a good way where it wasn't like, damn, I have to learn all about this.

I was just like, oh, no, it did the thing that classic TV does where I'm like, I want to be I want to be next Sunday.

I want to be back in this world.

I want to know what these characters are going to be.

I mean, what I what I liked about and this is another thing I hope they learn from this series is I think these things are more successful when, A, you know that the story needs to be told.
