Hello everyone and welcome back to Vassals of Kingsgrave for another episode of our House of the Dragon coverage featuring the second episode of the third season of House of the Dragon, appropriately titled Queen's Landing. Um, this is gonna be our uh like our Mega Dragon cast edition, Balerian cast. Uh we've got uh some people from across the pond, we've got some People from over here in the States. So we're gonna get a a good perspective. I think everyone's pretty excited about the episode. Uh my name is Adam, also known as Drowned Snow on the Discord in various places. And I'm joined by Bina.
Hi everyone, this is Bean at Double O Seven.
David?
Hi, this is David, David H H H on the Discord.
Stephanie? Stuff for G S T G on the forums and Discord. Kevin? Kevin, an uncle Kevin. That's right. Spicy Uncle Kevin. Katie Uh hi, this is Katie. East Sahara. Well. And with me is the Lord Baron Xander.
And yes, I am Xander the Lord Baron.
All right, Xander, do you wanna uh take us through our our lemon cakes here, get our ratings and see uh see what everyone thought of the episode?
Yeah, um I'll I'll go first real quick. Um I'm gonna I'm gonna give it a solid four out of five. Um There's Obviously some parts I didn't like about this episode, but the parts I did like about this episode really worked for me. Um
But uh yeah, let's go in the same order. How about you, Bina?
Sorry, this lemon cakes was momentarily distracted by Brazil Japan.
Yes.
I would have given this five. I think it's one of the strongest episodes, apart from that really rando scene that I think we're gonna get to. And 'cause I can't remember reading the books, I'm wondering if it's in the books. So I'm gonna dock it a lemon cake for that, otherwise a five.
A whole lemon cake, huh?
It was really annoying to me.
Yes. Yeah. David? Okay, um I'm just gonna give it the five. I'm not gonna dock it. I mean it wasn't perfect, but it was really good. It was one of the best episodes we've had so far. And I feel like I mean, I feel like this would have been the perfect season finale. In fact, if we'd gotten these last two episodes, I think it would have been like kind of we everyone would have rethought the whole last season what we thought of it because it would have ended on such a great note.
Yeah, I I could definitely see that.
Um, what about you, Adam?
Um, I think I agree with, you know, what David's saying is like last week's episode, the big battle as like either a finale or a penultimate episode would have been amazing. And then this as a finale, which the Game of Thrones finales typically are have been like less action oriented, less exciting. Like this kind of would have been like a next level finale taking the red keep. I really enjoyed it. I give it a like a four point seven five because almost everything in this worked for me, uh, except for a couple things that we will talk about. But like I just I I I don't know, the whole time I was having fun.
How about you, Steph?
Uh more lemon cakes for Team Black. Bola Brown for Team Green for I think Uh what's going to be the very controversial scene that I'm sure will have a lot of
Opinions about.
How about you, Kevin? I'm gonna give it a four point seven five. I thought that the episode was A lot of fun. My heart was going a mile a minute for most of it. Um, I felt like it did a good job filling in some of the gaps of the history um with suspenseful moments and They've changed the story enough that like you have doubts that certain things are gonna play out exactly how they played out in the book, which I think kind of works for keeping it suspenseful. Um and yeah, we'll talk about I think sort of the one stick in the mud for this episode, but otherwise I thought it was wonderful. Well played.
And how about you, Katie?
Uh I didn't like it that much. I think I'll give it a two point five. Um there was just a lot of ricketiness in this episode that I found to be extremely distracting, even though the good parts were very good. Um, there was just a lot that took me out of it in a way that I found unexpected and uh
