What podcast housekeeping and spoiler rules do Mal and Jo explain at the start?
Greetings, and welcome to House of R, a Ringerverse podcast on the Ringer Podcast Network. I'm Mallory Rubin. Joining me today, her founding stones were watered with the blood of a man, and she's always thirsty. It's Joanna Robinson.
Wow, likening me to a haunted castle. What could be a higher compliment, honestly?
I quite agree. I quite agree. Jo, we are here, of course, to dive deep all the way down. into the fifth episode somehow already of the third season of House of the Dragon. We're going to get to it right after this.
Programming reminders. Talk of Thrones, right after the new episode of House of the Dragon, Sunday night with CR. That'll be on episode six, which is batshit bonkers because this is only an eight episode season. I don't know how that happened already, but alas, that's the case. And then, Comic-Con. It's actually Comic-Con's before Talk the Thrones. It is. We're recording Talk the Thrones before that, but Comic-Con is before you'll watch Talk the Thrones.
It's great. I'm excited. We're going to San Diego. Yes. As we've mentioned one million times, we're doing a meetup on Thursday evening at Whiskey Girl. No badge required. And then there's a panel where you do need a badge. Yes. On Saturday morning. That's right. And we'll just be out and about and around in San Diego. Yeah. And taking in panels and drooling over cosplay. Uh-huh. enjoying the brisk sea breeze air. Yeah, it seems like it's going to be a bazillion degrees.
Cool. So that's exciting for everyone. Come hang with us as we are drenched in sweat. All of the details, times, if you're like, wait, where was that? When? On the social channels, on the social handles. Speaking of which, follow along.

At House of R. Bye. On TikTok, on Instagram. We're gearing up to cover the new Spider-Man movie. We're really, really excited about that. You can email us your Spider-Man thoughts, your Comic-Con thoughts, certainly your House of the Dragon thoughts, hobbitsanddragons at gmail.com.
Delightful. Spoiler warning for today, it's the same as always. Everything that happened in this episode of House of the Dragon, we're going to talk about it. If it's ever happened in a Game of Thrones episode of television, this show, Game of Thrones proper, Night of the Seven Kingdoms, it could come up today. In terms of book information, we'll have a little dabbling of context as we go today, but anything that is in the future in the text, anything from the future of Fire and Blood, we're going to save that for a quick book spoiler section at the end of the pod, and you will have a warning before that section begins if you don't want to hear it.
What about A Song of Ice and Fire? Everything A Song of Ice and Fire is on the table, right? Okay. Always. Technically in the future of these characters' lives, but in the past of our coverage. We only limit our future of to fire and blood. There's a spoiler section. We'll talk about it, but there's just like a lot of Feast for Crows and Dance Dragons stuff in the water here.
Yes.
You know, that's stuff that hasn't necessarily been adapted into the TV show. So it's kind of interesting what they're mining here.
One of the first things we texted each other about about this episode was, my goodness, the restraint to do a feast for traitors and not feast for crows. Wink, wink, nod, nod. Admirable. I wouldn't have had the willpower. I know that much. That's a spoiler warning. Those are the Comic-Con details. That's the intro. So let's get to the opening snapshots.
All right. Quick facts. Episode five, Unbowed and Unbent. This episode took its name from the Ormond and Darren scene that we love so much. So that's a fun little nugget there. 64 minutes. You know, we haven't had a short episode yet this season.
