    What can I say? We have a shiny, new dark prince amongst us that has somehow (mostly) united this unruly fandom. Call him Qimir, The Stranger, or if you're a Jedi, Sith. Lee Jung-jae as Jedi Master Sol has quickly become one of my favorite Jedi's ever. The loss he experiences, surviving The Stranger through his grief & anger, having to leave behind the bodies of his padawan & fellow Jedi was excruciating. Will the “parent trap twin swap” work out for Mae or could it lead Osha to the dark side with The Stranger? Shout out to PIP and Bazil, the best lil fellas on the show. Hope you enjoy!

We met Vhagar & said goodbye to beautiful Laena. Rhaenyra walked several flights of stairs seconds after giving birth to her third STRONG son. Alicent's demand to see the baby was no more than a petty play at seeing if the baby favored any Velaryon/ Targaryen features. So very much to get into! Hope you enjoy!

    Kristen Stewart should be preparing her Oscar speech. This movie could not have been a walk in the park for her to make. It is physically intense, full of suffocating anxiety attacks, and is just an overall deep person to portray. This film takes a look into Princess Diana's three day Christmas holiday at The Queen's country estate. It shows Diana doing her best to take control of her role as a mother to her two young boys. Pretty hard to do when The Queen reigns supreme. She prevailed. She was able to break free from the confines of this over bearing family and live a life true to herself & sons. Despite it being short lived. Despite being hunted and hounded by the paparazzi. The score for the film is a beautiful mix of classical and jazz. The cinematography stuns. Kristen's performance is a revelation. Hauntingly well done.  -Trigger warning for plot lines that involve eating disorders. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/sara-cktc/support
