On this episode of X-Ray Vision, Jason Concepcion and Rosie Knight forge some rings! In the Previously On (2:02), Jason and Rosie start by catching up on Andor – analyzing fascism, insurgency, and how bad guys think of themselves – before moving onto Rings of Power (20:51) to consider the season one finale. Staying in Middle Earth for the Hive Mind (55:23), Jason and Rosie are joined by Rings of Power finale co-writer Gennifer Hutchison to discuss that Sauron reveal, why she loves fan theories, the way Breaking Bad’s Gus Fring influenced the elves, and more. Heading to Westeros in the Airlock (1:28:40), Jason and Rosie dive deep (deeep) into episode 9 of House of the Dragon, recapping and exploring coronations, conspiracies, and cages. And in Ask the Maester (2:12:03), they answer listener questions about House of the Dragon, including whether dragons f*ck, prophecy theories, and more.
