Ashamed of Thrones

Well, that was a spectacle, but it all felt rather ...empty. So..the good guys win, the bad guys are bad...because they just are. Maybe the last three episodes can redeem this show, but right now, Ian McShane seems to have had the right of it. This show may just be "tits and dragons."

...damn.

Bad news, Brian and Doug break up on this episode of the podcast. On the bright side, they both loved this episode of Game of Thrones, ‘A Knight of The Seven Kingdoms.’

Also, we rated it 4.5 out of 5.0

It is a 10 point scale

…in .5 increments

…can’t round up, etc

The wait is over as the first episode of season 8 is here. ‘Winterfell’ set the table for the upcoming season, but did it live up to the overwhelming hype?

….no

Doug regales Brian with summaries of existing prophecies, some ridiculous theories, and a few predictions as we anticipated the final season of Game of Thrones.

Brian and Doug Look back at what they liked and hated about Game of Thrones' 7th season as the series finale looms

Doug is joined by Jeff Van Dreason of the 'Greater Boston' podcast.  Brian couldn't be bothered to show up for the season 7 recap, but it's addition by subtraction.  Without Brian's dead weight, the episode really breathes.

Anyways, enjoy it while you can , guys.  We are going dark until Season 8, or the appearance of a new book.  

Take care guys and good luck.

So after a season that asked us to turn off out brains  in exchange for spectacle, only this episode lacked spectacle.  Sure, some things happened, but no surprises, no emotionally crushing deaths, worst of all...no female nudity.  

...and now our watch begins.   

This one was bonkers.  It's been said by better people than us, but this is Game of Thrones at its best and its worst right now.  Undeniably epic and beautifully shot, the show keeps asking us to stretch our suspension of disbelief past the point of propriety.  Who will hold this show in check?  Doug and Brian step in to make sense of the latest episode of Game of Thrones, 'Beyond the Wall.'

The western theme continues as the "dirty dozen" of Westeros assembles.  Cersei has a gross bun in the gross oven and turns of you be the king of...well, everything.  Brian and Doug smash up episode 5 of season of Game of Throne, entitled 'Eastwatch.'

Wow! We finally get to see full-grown dragons on the battlefield and it was spectacular.  Not much to criticize on this episode....
Who am I kidding?  There is always something to criticize. 

This week, Doug and Brian tackle Season 7 Episode 4 of Game of Thrones, 'The Spoils of War.'
