Send us a textTyrion gets to know his new traveling companions, and, by dint of his cyvasse skills, some secrets about their mission. Mackelly and Simon consider their opening gambit.Chapter Review:Tyrion Lannister wakes early on the Shy Maid. He watches with undisguised interest as Septa Lemore bathes in the river. She shows signs of having given birth at some prior point, but remains an attractive woman. Ysilla makes breakfast and keeps all at bay, with the exception of Young Griff whom she plies with more than he needs.Duck spars with Young Griff, Haldon teaches him languages, geography, geometry, and history. It seems that Tyrion will contribute to this expansive education: he's been tasked with writing down all he can recall about raising and breeding dragons. Haldon offers Tyrion a game of cyvasse while Young Griff studies further with Septa Lemore. Haldon has beaten Tyrion every previous game, so he eagerly accepts Tyrion's wager that the loser must share some secrets. Tyrion hustles to victory and when a giant turtle, known as the Old Man of the River, bellows close by, Tyrion thinks that wonders often herald the arrival of kings.Characters/Places/Names/Events:Tyrion Lannister - Youngest son of Tywin Lannister whom he recently murdered.

Spoilers, profanity, Jaime x Brienne. It's been multiple years and some of us still have no idea what our social media handles are. Tywin Lannister: not a detail-oriented guy or just uncaring about certain details? We all sincerely hope that Sybell Spicer gets a POV chapter in Winds. Also, we speculate far more about Ilyn Payne than we ever thought possible. A Feast for Crows is the cherry on Jaime's breakup sundae. A Song of Ice and Fire. A Feast for Crows - Jaime VII (repost).

Send us a textTyrion meets Griff and young Griff. He has suspicions about who Griff might be, but Griff is plenty suspicious of Tyrion in return. Mackelly and Simon ponder the possibilities. Chapter ReviewTyrion is passed from Illyrio to Haldon the Half-Maester and Ser Rolly “Duck” Duckworth, along with letters, chests, and candy for young Griff. As they depart Tyrion sees Mopatis looking forlorn. Duck provides his life story, including being dubbed by Griff watched by Ducks, confirming his nickname. When they reach the Little Rhoyne at the ruined city of Ghoyan Drohe, they rendezvous with the riverboat, the Shy Maid. They are welcomed by Young Griff who dyes his hair blue in the Tyroshi fashion - after his mother - but Tyrion thinks that it won't fly in Westeros. Griff the elder is far from pleased to welcome Tyrion. A letter from Mopatis explains what is going on, but doesn't change his mood. He thinks Danaerys would be well advised to reject a kin and kingslayer from her service. But Tyrion catches him in several lies and suspects who Griff might truly be.Characters/Places/Names/Events:Tyrion Lannister - Youngest son of Tywin Lannister whom he recently murdered.

Send us a textTyrion and Illyrio Mopatis are trapped in a closed palanquin, hidden from the world, with just each other's voices for company. Mackelly and Simon try to imagine what that must be like.Chapter Review:Tyrion Lannister and Illyrio Mopatis leave Pentos in a closed palanquin. Nobody can know of Tyrion's presence or destination. He thinks that between the sailors and Mopatis' servants the word is already out. But his host is confident of their discretion. Tyrion is doubtful. Tyrion tries to unearth Mopatis' true motivations in helping Daenerys Targaryen regain the Iron Throne. The Pentosi claims that he just wants to help the young girl he fell in love with, that he was promised a Westerosi lordship and the role of Master of Coin. None of that convinces Tyrion. They're headed east toward the Rhoyne, where Tyrion will go south by river to Volantis. There Mopatis expects he'll rendezvous with Daenerys and her growing army. Tyrion will be accompanied by a sell-sword named Griff - who (again) Mopatis places an amazing amount of faith in.Characters/Places/Names/Events:Tyrion Lannister - Youngest son of Tywin Lannister whom he recently murdered.

Check out Cam's latest novel / audio drama here! Despite winning the battle, the big loser of this chapter is Tywin Lannister. His money, power, and more “civilized” brand of evil undercut his wins and guarantee his family's losses. Our discussion catalogues these failures and the seeds of mistrust that have broken the house that should easily dominate the Seven Kingdoms. In the chaos of battle, last week's Dothraki horrors are quietly displaced from Tyrion's mountain men into his innermost circle.

“We should start back” sono le primissime parole de “Le Cronache del Ghiaccio e del Fuoco” di George R.R. Martin e noi abbiamo pensato di fare esattamente così. In questo episodio Tyrion osserva quasi da spettatore inerme l'inizio della fine della sua famiglia, i gloriosi Lannister di Casterly Rock. Se in un primo momento pensava che il suo matrimonio fosse la cosa peggiore che gli fosse mai capitata o stata imposta dall'alto, si deve subito ricredere quando, durante una chiacchierata di famiglia un po' fuori dalla routine Lannister, viene messo a conoscenza di un certo piano del padre per concludere la guerra: il Red Wedding. Sconvolto ma non troppo, Tyrion assiste a un acceso battibecco tra un Joffrey troppo eccitato al solo pensiero di presentare a Sansa la testa di Robb su un piatto d'argento e un Tywin impassibile e granitico mandarlo a letto senza cena. Rimasti soli, Tywin cerca di giustificarsi agli occhi del figlio, che di risposte in questo caso non ne ha. Stark, Martell, Targaryen, tutti gli stessi, tutti uguali di fronte alla violenza e alla brutalità del grande Tywin Lannister, pronto a tutto pur di preservare l'onore della sua casata. E che onore! Che eredità! Tyrion non riesce proprio a percepirla questa splendida vittoria decantata da tutto e tutti, soprattutto non può condividerla con la moglie. Anche se capisce la logica e le dinamiche dietro le decisioni di suo padre, la rabbia e la frustrazione portati dal suo matrimonio fallito e dal suo insoddisfacente lavoro sovrastano qualunque altro pensiero. Ed ecco perché, proprio la notte prima del matrimonio reale tra Joffrey e Margaery, Tyrion cerca rifugio tra le braccia di Shae, lontano dal gelido letto nuziale e dal disastro finanziario lasciatogli da Ditocorto, al buio tra le fauci delle antiche bestie Targaryen.

Star Wars and The Lord of the Rings have two very similar moments. As a great threat makes itself known in each world, a band of potential heroes circle up to assess the danger and devise a plan. In Star Wars: Rogue One this is the “rebellions are built on hope speech” delivered by Jyn Erso who has discovered the plans for the Death Star and wants to lead the fractured Rebel Alliance in stealing them. The Rebels are divided and hardly interested in risking everything over a rumor. In The Lord of the Rings, what will soon become the “Fellowship of the Ring” is gathered in Rivendell under the hospitality of Lord Elrond. He has gathered the Elves, Men, and Dwarves all together with Gandalf and the Hobbits, to unveil the Ring of the Power and make it known — it must be destroyed. In both stories, everyone learns of the threat with bated breath and in silence. Then fear and self-interest sink in. Argument erupts. In Star Wars and Middle-earth, we see a confluence of civilizations and leaders with their own unique concerns. Mutual destruction is only part of their calculus. For almost all of these men and women, their will to fight and risk it all comes from something you and I know well — a love of home. Geeky Stoics is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Before we continue, our new video, The School of Tywin Lannister, is out on YouTube in its entirety. This is a rundown of 3 Stoic lessons offered by the most powerful man in Westeros, a worthy villain in Game of Thrones. Check it out and be sure to leave a Like and Comment with your thoughts! A love of home is sometimes made into a controversial thing, even though we all know it is not. The Rebels and Fellowship are not risking their lives for one another homes, that is quite clear. Elves don't much care for Dwarves and vice versa. The Hobbits don't give a damn about Gondor, nor does Gondor care what happens to the Shire. They only care about what happens in faraway lands so much as it will eventually harm them and their lands. Jyn Erso reminds the Rebels of what the Empire did to Jedha just days before their meeting. The Empire tested the Death Star on a city called Jedha, which was completely wiped off the map. The Rebels know she's right. They think of their homes.Call this instinct patriotism or nationalism or whatever you want. I would prefer the former…patriotism, where you view your homeland as special, good, and worthy of defense. Nationalism is something else. It's when you take that belief and decide to carry it like a torch into other people's lands. In C.S. Lewis's The Four Loves, he begins the book with a deep explanation of this love of home and why it matters to human beings. With this love for the place there goes a love for the way of life; for beer and tea and open fires, trains with compartments in them and an unarmed police force and all the rest of it….a man's reasons for not wanting his country to be ruled by foreigners are very like his reasons for not wanting his house to be burned down because he “could not even begin” to enumerate all the things he would miss.”This love is what propels Sam and Frodo across all of Middle-earth. They think of the Shire. Frodo cries for it in his lowest moments, with the great irony being that he never feels comfortable there again after coming to its ultimate defense. Lewis says “Patriotism is not in the least aggressive. It asks only to be left alone.” For any man with imagination, he says, “How can I love my home without coming to realize that other men, no less rightly, love theirs?”In this sense, you get a perfectly reasonable take on self-interest as a motivating factor in the heroism of Star Wars and The Lord of the Rings. Modern people love to talk a big game about being global citizens and tout their open-mindedness about cultures in corners of the globe they've never experienced or studied. It's performative. The only thing tangible is loving your own garden and tending to it. A deep and gentle love leads you to wish no harm to other people's gardens, for they must feel as strongly about them as you do yours. This well of empathy is valuable and leads to beautiful outcomes in both Star Wars and Tolkien's tale of Middle-earth. You can build it by investing in your own community, your own home, and local culture. You'll see how it differs from the cultures around you. And that's okay. There is beauty in difference. It would not be home unless it were different-C.S. Lewis, The Four Loves This is a public episode.

This week we've been back through Game of Thrones in our house. I haven't watched it again since 2011 when the series first premiered on HBO and took over popular culture for the next eight years. There's so much to be said about the characters in this show. Starks. Lannisters. Targaryens. Dothrakis. Baratheons. I'd forgotten how powerful this contest for control of Kings Landing and Westeros is. It's not my intention to dunk on House of the Dragon, the new spinoff series set generations before GoT during the reign of House Targaryen, but there wasn't much about the new series that left an impression or stuff to think about. King Viserys Targaryen and his willingness to let critics speak freely is one notable exception that we wrote about here on Geeky Stoics.Viserys hears that rabble-rousers are questioning his choice of royal heir, and his advisor urges him to have their tongues cut out. The king, very much not inclined toward violence, declines. “Tongues will not change the succession. Let them wag.” He sounds a bit like Cicero, the Roman senator who scribbled down “Let other people worry over what they will say about you. They will say it in any case.”“Those who can't talk about those who can” is what actor Denzel Washington once had to say about his critics in Hollywood.It's true. You must not distract yourself with the useless opinions of others. “A lion doesn't concern him with the opinions of the sheep” is what Tywin Lannister says to his son, Jaime, in Game of Thrones' first season.We have a balance to strike in our lives. Can we carry on with our work without reading the comments section or nervously checking on reviews? Can we be receptive to feedback and eager to learn or adjust without our entire existence hinging on the validation of others?The tricky thing about this scene between Tywin and Jaime Lannister is that they're the villains of this chapter in Game of Thrones.Tywin is a nasty man, but he's quite sane. In a Westeros full of madmen and murderers… controversial opinion here…but Tywin Lannister would be a decent king….simply because he is practical, understands power politics, and can be reasonable.We don't want to take advice from a bad guy, but not caring what people think about them is sort of their superpower. They are freed from self-imposed obligations to people around them whom they hold in contempt or see as lesser.Good people need to hear this sometimes. They tend to think about others more than your villains of the world, and then they get trapped by that sense of care. A time will come when doing good requires being at odds with those around you who have been deceived or caught up in evil.This little exchange between two Lannister men about the limiting effect of other people's opinions is worth remembering. There is real wisdom there. This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit www.geekystoics.com

Jaime bids farewell to his uncle and to his father's remains, envies Loras Tyrell's horsemanship, and frets over his twin's drinking and her new friends. Simon and Mackelly think he might have a point.Chapter ReviewJaime Lannister bids farewell to his uncle Kevan who is leaving King's Landing with his son Lancel and the bones of his brother Tywin. The conversation doesn't go quite as Jaime hoped. Kevan is furious at both twins for their incest, the shame their bringing to the family, and Cersei's refusal to toe (Kevan's version of) the party line. Kevan is headed to the Riverlands where rumor has it that Sandor Clegane has joined forces with Beric Dondarrion to terrorize the citizens. Jaime's warning to be careful manages to sound like a threat.Jamie notes that King's Landing seems emptier now that the Tyrells have left. He sees Loras Tyrell practicing jousting with envy, the younger Kingsguard is the better horseman. He finds his sister in her cups and hanging with Pycelle, Taena Merryweather, and King Tommen. Lollys Stokeworth has given birth, and the child's stepfather (Bronn) has thoughtfully named the baby Tyrion. Cersei is not amused.Jaime dismisses everyone and tries to get Cersei to see sense with her new friends. Nobody knows the true loyalties of Qyburn, Taena, nor the Kettleblacks and these have become her confidantes. She doubles down wanting the comely but untested Aurane Waters to be the Master of Ship. He's getting concerning Aerys II-vibes from his sister. She prefers to think of herself as the female Tywin.Characters/Places/Names/Events:Jamie Lannister - Twin and lover to Cersei.

Jaime might've bitten off more than he can chew with standing vigil over his father for seven days and nights. While battling sleep, he recalls his last conversation with Rhaegar Targaryen as well as his recent one with the chief undergaoler. He's visited by Cersei and again rejects her plea to be Hand of the King. Finally, he brokers a lunch for Cersei and feeds her exact steps to success. Simon and Mackelly wonder if she'll still muck it up.Chapter Review:While Jaime Lannister stands vigil over his father's body, he thinks of how if he'd known that Tyrion was going to kill their father he'd have stopped him. He thinks of the conversation he had with the chief undergaoler of the Red Keep dungeons. He gets the same story Cersei got regarding Rugen, the missing undergaoler. Jaime is furious to learn that the turnkeys who fell asleep the night of Tyrion's escape were murdered, by order of the queen.Said queen appears in person, as Jaime stands vigil. She's dressed as a commoner to escape notice. She says Kevan refused her offer of Hand of the King and that he knows about Jaime and Cersei's relationship. She begs Jaime to reconsider taking the role of Hand of the King. Jaime again refuses. Again, in no uncertain terms. A furious Cersei stalks off after unleashing a barrage of angry words toward Jaime.When the sun comes up, mourners again flood the Great Sept of Baelor. Tywin's body has continued to decay and the odor has intensified greatly. When Queen Cersei and King Tommen approach the corpse, Tommen gags and runs for the door. Jaime goes after him and consoles the little king. Queen Cersei arrives and admonishes her son for embarrassing her. Mace Tyrell is close on her heels. Jaime sets up a lunch between Cersei and Mace, to Cersei's annoyance. But Jaime explains that it's an opportunity to send Mace on a task out of the city, where he might get himself killed.Characters/Places/Names/Events:Jamie Lannister - Twin and lover to Cersei.

Busy day for Queen Cersei. She fends off mourners expressing regret and vying for her favor and works to keep the Tyrells off the Small Council. She bonds with Qyburn before finally having a highly contentious dinner with her uncle. Mackelly and Simon are in shock that Kevan went there.Chapter Review:Queen Cersei Lannister and King Tommen kneel before her father Tywin's body. The odor emanating from the late Hand of the King is not missed by those in attendance, so all are glad when the prayers end. Afterward, mourners approach Cersei to express condolences. Falyse Stokeworth offers that if her sister Lollys has a son, they'd like to name him Tywin. Cersei shoots the idea down.  She congratulates Lancel on his betrothal and his new lordship. He's not thrilled about either. He met with the high septon. Cersei reminds him of the power of silent prayer.She's approached by Mace Tyrell. He's angling to be named Hand of the King, but says his uncle Garth is on his way to King's Landing to serve as Master of Coin. Cersei has no interest in another Tyrell on the Small Council, so lies and says she's offered the role to Gyles Rosby. Mace is shocked, but his mother steers him away. Later,  she asks Rosby to be Master of Coin and to act as though it was offered yesterday.Back in the Red Keep, Qyburn says he's found a gold coin in the missing gaoler Rugen's chamber. It's from the Reach, which causes Cersei to question whether the Tyrells were involved in the plot to free Tyrion. Cersei plans to call for the headsman for Gregor Clegane. Qyburn asks to move Gregor to the dungeons, to continue to work with him.Her uncle Kevan arrives for dinner. Cersei asks him to be Tommen's Hand of the King.

Cersei is awakened to the news that her father is dead. She can hardly believe it, but is not exactly broken up about it. At least her little brother is locked up and will be a head short by this evening. Ah, about that: he's escaped. Mackelly and Simon spot many of Cersei's character flaws, while ignoring their own.Chapter Review:Cersei dreams of sitting the Iron Throne. It's a great dream until Tyrion appears, and her clothes disappear. Then it takes a nasty turn. She gets cut and the Iron Throne fights her. Tyrion laughs. A maid wakes her. Not to save her from the dream but because the Kingsguard are here to let her know that Tywin is dead. Cersei's struggling to separate the dream from reality. But she begins to piece it together. She dresses and is escorted to the Tower of the Hand.En route, she ponders how she should react and how she and her rivals will use her father's death to their advantage. Jamie has followed the secret passage in the fireplace, and Loras Tyrell has been sent to check on King Tommen. She sends Boros Blount to confirm that Tyrion is still secured. She wants Pycelle to prepare her father's body, but he's been and gone and not even bothered to remove the quarrel from Lord Tywin's guts.Qyburn comes in and prepares the body, and asks what's to be done with Shae. Cersei hadn't even noticed her. She wants her removed quietly, so nobody gets the idea that Tywin was consorting with a prostitute. Jamie arrives back, no sign of the murderer. She offers him the role of Hand, he refuses. Uncle Kevan demands that they stop squabbling. Blount returns with news that Tyrion is escaped. Cersei recalls a prophecy in which the Valonqar will choke the life from her.Characters/Places/Names/Events:Cersei Lannister - Queen regent and mother to King Tommen.Tywin Lannister - Lord of Casterly Rock, recently murdered by his son Tyrion.Jamie Lannister - Twin and lover to Cersei.

Man, I was really hoping this episode was just going to be about Last Action Hero. Last Action Hero was great. Great soundtrack, great action, an animated talking cat and Tywin Lannister hiding his exploding eye in sneaky places.  […]↓ Read the rest of this entry... The post 9ES303: Doubting Our Commitment To Mean Girls appeared first on 9to5 (dot cc).

Today's episode is a change of pace from the usual investing, stocks, mindset, self-improvement and philosophy content that we post on this channel. Let's talk about Tywin Lannister, my favorite character from George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire universe.

Tyrion is rescued from his cell by Jaime, but learns the awful truth of Jaime's previous betrayal. Tyrion, in turn, tells Jaime he killed Joffrey. The two part ways acrimoniously. On his way to freedom, Tyrion stops to visit his father. He finds a familiar face waiting in Tywin's bed and Tywin in the privy. Tyrion deals with them both in similar fashion. Simon and Mackelly wallow in the sadness and betrayal.Chapter Review:Tyrion Lannister prepares to attack, as the door to his cell opens. It turns out to be his brother Jaime. Jaime is here to rescue him. When Tyrion thanks him, Jaime says he's repaying a debt. Tyrion insists on knowing the secret of this debt. Jaime tells him he lied to Tyrion about Tysha, on their father's command. Tyrion's wife truly was a crofter's daughter, met on the road. The news sends Tyrion into a fury. He tells Jaime that Cersei has been unfaithful to Jaime and that, yes, he killed Joffrey. With that the two part ways.Tyrion meets Varys, to escape through the dungeons and to the sea, bound for Essos. Along the way, Tyrion realizes he's below the Tower of the Hand. He insists Varys tell him how to find his father's bed chamber. When Tyrion arrives, he finds Shae in Tywin's bed. She says she was forced to say horrible things about him at trial. She calls him her Giant of Lannister. At that, Tyrion strangles her with the Hand of the King chain she wears.He finds a crossbow and tracks his father to the privy. Tywin says he doesn't know what happens to the “whore” Tysha after Tyrion's “sharp lesson.” Tyrion says if he uses the term again, he will kill his father. True to his word, when Tywin says it again, Tyrion shoots him dead.Characters/Places/Names/Events:Tyrion Lannister - Youngest son of Tywin Lannister. Brother to queen Cersei and Jamie Lannister. Former Hand of the King.Tywin Lannister - Tyrion's father, Hand of the King.Shae - Prostitute and lover of Tyrion.Tysha - Tyrion's first wife.Sansa Stark - Oldest daughter of Ned and Catelyn Stark, wife to Tyrion.Lord Varys - Master of Whisperers in King's Landing, has served multiple monarchs as chief spy.

Tyrion's is betrayed by Shae and demands a trial by combat. Oberyn Martell steps up and defeats the Mountain, but then lets his guard down and the Mountain crushes his head, and Tyrion's hopes. Simon and Mackelly rue the day.Chapter Review:Tyrion Lannister weighs the offer of Oberyn Martell, but for now allows the trial to continue. Podrik Payne cannot vouch for Tyrion's innocence, which suggests that few will. The last witness is a surprise: Shae. Of course Cersei would have interviewed, and coerced, Sansa's handmaids. But Shae is not only going to lie for Cersei, she's also going to tell the truth. Tyrion and Sansa plotted the murder and Tyrion used her sexually and forced her to refer to him as “her giant of Lannister.” The crowd's laughter is too much for Tyrion and he demands the trial by combat.Cerseis is thrilled to announce that the Mountain Gregor Clegane will fight for her, but the whole room is stunned when Oberyn Martell offers to champion Tyrion's cause. Tywin is furious. Tyrion realizes that this situation has no good outcomes for Tywin. If Oberyn wins, the Tyrells will be annoyed, and Tyrion freed. If the Mountain wins, Tyrion will be dead and the Martells might crown Myrcella, Plunging Westeros into another civil war.Oberyn outwits and defeats the Mountain, with his poisoned spear. But then stands on the vanquished Clegane's chest to extract a deathbed confession. He gets one, Gregor did rape and murder Elia, and murder her children, but it's Oberyn's deathbed.

Mackelly and Simon hold their breath, hoping for no deaths at this wedding.Chapter Review:Sansa Stark and Petyr “Littlefinger” Baelish arrive at Petyr's ancestral home in the Fingers. It's a dismal place but the staff is friendly and happy to see their lord. Petyr informs Sansa that she must take a new name, as it's not safe to be a Stark at the moment. He names her Alayne, after his mother. She will play his natural-born daughter. He also tells her that he will wed Sansa's aunt Lysa Arryn, who is on her way to meet them at the tower. Finally, Petyr divulges to Sansa that he was working with Olenna Tyrell to murder King Joffrey. It was Olenna who put the poison in the chalice.When Lysa arrives, Sansa is introduced as Alayne to her aunt. The couple is wed at once.

This episode kicks off season 5 with a pretty good bang. This episode is also the last episode we see of Tywin Lannister. And his death was the driving force of the episode. It was really all about life without Tywin. We had Jaime and Cersei coming to grips with the loss of their father as well as other major players discussing how they needed to move as a result of Tywin's death. We also got the very first flashback of the series, and it shined a bright light on the way Cersei thinks and moves, especially towards Margaery. We got alot going on in the North with Stannis jockeying to overthrow the Boltons. We got Tyrion and that damn Varys stashed away in Pentos. And we see that Dany has yet another enemy to deal with in Mereen, plus much more.If you want to keep the fun going with us throughout the week, come join our Facebook group.JOIN THE WATCH DEM THRONES FACEBOOK GROUPhttps://www.facebook.com/groups/126567443834910/?ref=share&mibextid=NSMWBTTO WATCH AND SUBSCRIBE:Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/blackwithnochaser/Twitter:https://twitter.com/BeBlackNoChaser?t=pVFV06lBFdZRu72ot4uCjA&s=09Twitter:https://twitter.com/WatchDemThrones?t=q0ngrYPlugf0ttzM2jo39A&s=09Apple Music: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/watch-dem-thrones-by-black-with-no-chaser/id1641754247Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/1qI1bJ1vIlobu502w6zrtN?si=mtsa3gZYRZW_3FmlCrv7UgBWNC RADIO: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/bwnc-radio/id6443800363Amazon Musichttps://music.amazon.com/podcasts/45279c3a-c09f-47d1-a3a3-88e6e2507230/watch-dem-thrones-by-black-with-no-chaserIHeartRadiohttps://www.iheart.com/podcast/269-watch-dem-thrones-by-black-101286659/?cmp=android_share&sc=android_social_share&pr=false#gameofthrones #demdragons #blackwithnochaser #houseofthedragonhbo #dragonseeds #theblacks #thegreens #houseofthedragon #youtube #targaryens #podcast #podsincolor #applemusic #spotifymusic #podsincolor #starks #lannisters 

Tyrion stands trial for the murder of the king. The prosecution has no end of witnesses, while Tyrion has none. But at the 11th hour a glimmer of hope appears. Mackelly and Simon weigh the scales of justice.Chapter Review:Tyrion Lannister languishes for days in a Red Keep tower cell. He's well-treated and fed as befits his station, but the crime of which he's accused holds only one possible punishment. He's getting advice and daily visits from his uncle Kevan, but neither of them is very optimistic of his chances. Cersei is amassing a deluge of witnesses to testify against him. Tyrion pins his hopes on trial by combat, but knowing that the opponent will be Gregor Clegane, Bronn demurs. The trial, before a three-judge panel of Tywin, Mace Tyrell, and Oberyn Martell, goes very badly for Tyrion. The witnesses either exaggerate, downright lie, or in the case of Varys: accurately report Tyrion's various threats and comments on the dead king. Kevan advises confession and the Night's Watch, but Tyrion doesn't trust his father's mercy.On the final night of the trial, Tyrion is visited in his cell by Oberyn. He's not necessarily there to reassure Tyrion, but knowing that he's doomed he's hoping to get the truth about his sister's death. Tyrion confirms some suspicions: while it was the now dead Lorch who dispatched Princess Rhaenys, it was The Mountain who raped and murdered Elia and killed baby Aegon. But Tyrion denies that Tywin ordered the deaths. Oberyn throws Tyrion a lifeline. He'll be his champion in trial by combat against Clegane.Characters/Places/Names/Events:Tyrion Lannister - Youngest son of Tywin Lannister. Brother to queen Cersei and Jamie Lannister. Former Hand of the King.Tywin Lannister - Tyrion's father, Hand of the King.Kevan Lannister - Tyrion's uncle.

Jaime and Brienne arrive in King's Landing. They've learned that bad news awaits them. Brienne is immediately imprisoned, while Jaime gets into it with his father and his sister. Simon and Mackelly hope for a bit more love and a lot less, respectively.Chapter Review:Jaime Lannister arrives in King's Landing with Brienne, Qyburn, and Roose Bolton's men. It's not changed that much, still stinks. They've learned en-route of the deaths at the weddings (the red and the purple). Jaime is struggling to find the correct emotion. He cares more about how Cersei is feeling and feeling sorry for himself about his hand.Upon arrival, they meet Ser Loras Tyrell, who denounces Brienne as a kingslayer - of Renly that is. Jaime arranges for Brienne to be imprisoned (temporarily, for her own good). Jaime visits the sept, where Joffrey lies in state. He finds his twin mourning over their dead child. She affirms that it was Tyrion who killed Joffrey. They have sex there and then. Jaime wants to be open about their relationship, but Cersei roughly disabuses him of that idea.Jaime visits his father, who reports that Vargo Hoat is getting his comeuppance from Gregor Clegane, who has retaken Harrenhal. Jaime is to leave the Kingsguard, marry Margaery Tyrell (Cersei will marry Oberyn Martell) and take King Tommen to Casterly Rock to be raised away from his mother. Jaime flat out refuses. Tywin disowns him. Characters/Places/Names/Events:Jaime Lannister - Lord Commander of the Royal Kingsguard. Twin brother to queen Cersei and older brother to Tyrion.

Sansa flees the scene of the crime with Ser Dontos. After a scary climb she's rowed to deliverance - which turns out to come with a familiar (although not totally friendly) face. Simon and Mackelly consider her future.Chapter Review:Sansa Stark races to the Godswood where she has hidden a change of clothes. When she takes her hair net off, she realizes a black amethyst is missing and gets a sinking feeling in her stomach that it's somehow related to King Joffrey's death. Dontos arrives and denies that the hair net had anything to do with Joff's death. He choked on pie.Dontos leads her out of the castle to a cliff where a secret ladder has been cut out of the stone that leads to the river below. When the pair make down safely, they find a man waiting to row them out to safety.When the little boat reaches a ship, a stunned Sansa discovers Petyr “Littlefinger” Baelish waiting for her. Dontos, who stayed behind to row himself back to the castle, asks for his reward of 10,000 gold dragons. Instead, he's killed by three crossbow bolts.Littlefinger explains to a highly-upset Sansa that Dontos did what he did at Littlefinger's command and did so because he was being handsomely paid. Once he'd drunk this payday, he'd sell Sansa again to Varys or Cersei. When Sansa asks why Littlefinger would want to hurt the Lannisters, who gave him so much, he responds that he had no motive. He likes to keep his foes confused. He says he loved Sansa's mother Catelyn and thinks in a different world Sansa might've been his daughter. He tells Sansa to forget about the Lannisters, Tyrion, and King's Landing. She's safe with him and sailing home.Characters/Places/Names/Events:Sansa Stark - Elder daughter of Ned and Catelyn Stark.

Tyrion and Sansa attend the wedding of King Joffrey and Margaery Tyrell. Afterward, they discuss leaving town in the near future. However, things get interesting at the wedding feast culminating in a dead king, Sansa missing, and Tyrion accused of murder. Simon and Mackelly wonder if they can get their gift back.Chapter Review:Tyrion Lannister and his wife Sansa Stark attend the royal wedding. While watching the ceremony, Tyrion further considers Joffrey as the man behind the attempt on Bran Stark's life. He had opportunity and means but Tyrion can't quite figure out what Joff's motive would've been.On the way back to the Red Keep from the wedding, Tyrion suggests he and Sansa get out of King's Landing before long. Tyrion feels that his nephew's behavior toward him is getting increasingly aggressive and worries it'll end with Tyrion being a head shorter.At the feast, singers sing of Joff, Cersei, and Renly's heroics on the Blackwater, with no mention of Tyrion's efforts to save the city. Next, dwarves mock joust at Joff's behest and the king commands Tyrion to challenge the victor. When Tyrion refuses, things get ugly. The king dumps a chalice of wine on Tyrion and demands Tyrion be his cupbearer and serve him. Tyrion does as told and the king drinks deeply. He continues to mock Tyrion but a coughing fit worsens to choking. All around, people realize that the king is dying. When Cersei screams, Tyrion knows Joff is dead. What he wasn't expecting was for Cersei to then have him, and his suddenly missing wife, arrested for murder.Characters/Places/Names/Events:Tyrion Lannister - Youngest son of Tywin Lannister.

Many fine gifts are proffered, not the least of which is Tyrion and Sansa's gift. They give Joff a beautiful book illustrated by the author himself. Joff is not impressed. He is much more impressed by his grandfather's gift of a beautiful Valyrian steel sword. Joff claims prior knowledge of the rare steel and proves it by hacking Tyrion and Sansa's gift to pieces. The king then insists the pair owe him a new gift. Tyrion suggests a Valyrian steel dagger to go with the sword, and describes the dagger used in the attempt on Bran Stark's life. The king gives a sharp look, but then agrees the dagger would be a good option.Later in the litter, Tyrion asks about Bran and Joff's relationship while in Winterfell together.

The Oscars are behind us, so it's time to turn our attention to new programming until the big summer movies return. But this week we find ourselves going back in time as we discuss "Marie Antoinette," a new historical drama on PBS. The stars of the show, Emilia Schüle in the titular role and Louis Cunningham as Louis XVI, sat down with co-host Bruce Miller to discuss the program, the arc of the series that is planned for three seasons, and whether or not Marie Antoinette really said "let them eat cake."  Leading into that interview, miller and co-host Terry Lipshetz discussed how this show is the latest in a line of recent period dramas that have dominated streaming services.  "The Great" is among our favorites. The show starring Elle Fanning, which is very loosely based on the life of Catherine the Great, returns to Hulu on May 12 for season 3 with 10 new episodes. Another show that is a bit more realistic is "The Crown" on Netflix. The sixth and final season should wrap production in a few months and could drop by the end of the year. The program, which changes ensemble casts every two seasons as characters age, is expected to bring viewers through the death of Princess Diana, but before the recent drama surrounding Princess Andrew, Prince Harry and the death of Queen Elizabeth II. If you want some of that drama, you can watch the documentary series "Harry & Meghan" on Netflix.  Another period drama, also on Netflix, is "Bridgerton." The series is a fictional drama based on the book series by Julia Quinn that takes place during London's Regency era of the late 1700s. Perhaps "Marie Antoinette" most closely resembles another historical drama in "The Last Czars" that aired on Netflix in 2019. That show focused on the final years of Russia's Romanov dynasty. About the show Streamed & Screened is a podcast about movies and TV hosted by Bruce Miller, a longtime entertainment reporter who is now the editor of the Sioux City Journal in Iowa and Terry Lipshetz, a senior producer for Lee Enterprises based in Madison, Wisconsin. Episode transcript Note: The following transcript was generated by Podium.page and may contain misspellings and other inaccuracies as it was generated automatically: 0:00:03Welcome everyone to another episode of streamed and screened and entertainment podcast about movies and TV from Lee Enterprises. I'm Terry Lipshetz, a senior producer at Lee and cohost of the program with Bruce Miller, editor of the Sioux City Journal and a longtime entertainment reporter. Bruce, welcome back. How's it going? No. We went through the Oscars We're good. We are looking forward to the spring shows. We're good. 0:00:30I have watched all of Ted Lasso. I'm good. So, yeah, there's a there's a lot there that we've been able to peel off during the last last few weeks. But, you know, if I see a cocaine bear in the streets, I'm stopping. I'm excited. I have not seen cocaine beer and I will not until it's at least on TV for streaming purposes. But I am excited for Ted Lasso. That's the one show because I feel like Apple T. V. Plus, they've got some good programs. But I I can't pay for it year round because they don't seem to have enough at any given moment for me. Like, I like Tesla, so I like that space program. Where it was kind of the alternate history. Yeah. I really like that. So I've been waiting for Ted Lass, so so I can resubscribe for about a month or two Watch watch that. 0:01:25Watch for all mankind. I still have to get caught up on that that Jennifer Aniston to the morning show. Morning show love that. Yeah. Look at what you're missing. You should be spending money. You're rich. You can do all that. 0:01:41If I was rich, Bruce, I probably would be doing something differently right now, but I'm not. I'm rich in knowledge. I'm rich in movie and TV knowledge spending my time with you. You know, we don't need we don't need all that money because we have someone's experience that's where we're able to draw on that bank. And if you buy that graph, I'll tell you a little bit more. 0:02:06I think we need a time machine, Bruce, for this episode. Like, I was looking I was looking locally for a delorean to see if I could whip something up. Because I I wanna go back in time because it feels like everything we're watching on TV now is going back in time. A lot a lot back in time. Yeah. And they're going back to the the days when maybe politics wasn't the same as it is today. Right now they're trying to kind of show us what was it like when x or y was in charge? What did they do? Right? And how did they react? And it's interesting. I don't know if we're learning anything because I think our politicians are making the same mistakes they've always made. 0:02:48It is fun to look back at these things. I love these ones that have great sets and costumes. I really like looking at that stuff because I think what are they what kind of hell are they going through to wear this this junk. You know? And when you see something like the great, which just turns it on its head and goes for the laughs. I enjoy it. It's fun. 0:03:11But a lot of things are coming up before the end of the spring, Tom Jones. They're doing a remake of Tom Jones that will be a little less user friendly. Let's just say that Tom isn't the the dashing rogue that he once was. And so that's an interesting take on things. And then we have Maria Antoinette, which is a kind of a spin on how that whole story played out that the people who made it said that, really, Marie Antoinette was the victim. She was not treated the way she really should have been, and she was the victim of gossip in the court. People were she was, like, the first influencer who was canceled. Is one of those kind of things where permanent They were out together, and so they did whatever they could. And in this new this new series, limited series that they have, you'll be able to see how the people are really she wasn't that bad, but she was treated badly. And then we'd have the crown. Look how long we've been looking at the British dynasty and what they're up to. And how will that shift now when Charles is in charge? 0:04:26Howard Bauchner: Right. So you mentioned the great, which that one's actually coming back pretty soon. Season three is coming back May twelfth. They're gonna drop ten ten episodes on Hulu. And I feel like that's gonna be one where I'm gonna have to tell my wife, like, we gotta take a couple days off because we're we're just gonna crush through all ten episodes back to them. And they're quick ones too. I I feel like that one you can kinda you can crush through the great -- Yeah. -- pretty quickly. 0:04:53But I I love that show because it's it's so irreverent. Everyone's smashing glasses on the floor and Hazan and it it it's a little bit historically accurate, like, at, you know, like, one percent. But it's so fun. And very naughty, which I like naughty. Yeah. That's a that's a good thing. The gentleman who created the great. Also did the favorite. If you remember the favorite. Okay. 0:05:23And that starred Olivia Coleman, she won her Oscar for that. And when me and Coleman was in the crown. Right? And I just talked her she's gonna be in great expectations. Another adaptation that's coming up. And she says, I have no interest in history. I really I am not one who who wants to go back and and dig out that stuff. In fact, she remembers being assigned great expectations when she was in high school. She's, I don't think I even read it. I really don't. So I I like the honesty that she she brings to all of this because it makes, I think, the character a little more believable. But yeah. But she was in the crowd. 0:06:05And you know, I I I mentioned this before, I'm sure, that I don't like that they switching out the cast because I think they could do with some of that stuff. I think this latest cast, you know, the last one was really good. And now these once I'm not so sure I'm buying into it, but there you are. Yeah. I liked so and it was weird too for me because I didn't watch the crown initially. When season four of the crown came out, which was the second and final season with the second cast, my wife and I decided, let's kinda check this one out. So we went back and we we crushed through season one and two. Then immediately went to season three, which is very jarring when you go and look at the cast change because we really liked and we we kinda grew to like that initial cast. And then it goes to season three, and we didn't know kind of what to think of it. And I think it finally grew on us once we got about halfway through maybe the second the the third season. 0:07:06It was a really I really I think ended up liking the season three and forecast the most because I thought Olivia Coldman really nailed a a kind of middle aged queen Elizabeth, somebody who is no longer, you know, the young pop in who's kind of settled into herself and taking charge and knows what she has to do, but you had hell in a bottom Carter playing her her sister, which was kinda fun. And then I didn't even realize it until almost after the fact, but they brought back Dana Sculley, Julian Anderson played Margaret Thatcher. And she was fabulous. It was so good. And and the actor that was from the Game of Thrones who played he he was the the member of the family that was blown up by the the bomb, the boat bomb. Oh, the Fort Mount bat or was it Fort Mountbatman? Yeah. Yeah. Because he was Tywin Lannister in the Game of Thrones. So it was just they had a really solid ensemble cast. So I I absolutely loved it. 0:08:12I thought they had a really good young Prince Charles in that program. Right. I thought they had a really good young Princess Diana, but it didn't translate well when they jumped to season five. I I thought, like, it It wasn't as jarring because it'd been so long since I'd watched seasons five four and five, but I I'm not in love with the current cast. Dominic West, isn't he Prince Charles now? Mhmm. Yeah. I think No. 0:08:40That was miscasting. Right there. Right. Right there is miscasting. But you know, it I get what they're doing. What's funny is that they kind of take a Jackie Collins approach. To that whole royal world, and yet they're trying to play it as very masterpiece theater. You know, there's there's a lot of down and dirty stuff that you think, is this really what happened? Or are you going a little too far on the edge here? So I don't know how accurate it might be, but I bet any money that the people who are in the royal family had a great time watching it. I heard I don't know if you heard this, but around the time of the first season, one of the Queen's sons I can't remember if it was Prince Edward, but they they would go to her house, her castle, whatever she lives in. And they would watch it on, like, Sunday nights. Once a week. You're gonna be great? Yeah. So they threw on the Netflix and watched themselves. And then you would be, like, screaming at the TV. No. That's not the way it is. That's not true at all. Right? The one yeah. I know. 0:09:52The one actor who I really thought has nailed the role in the newer season, though. Jonathan Price is Prince Philip. I I feel like I believe him in that role. It feels like Prince Philip to me. Well and, you know, isn't it weird that we know these characters? Or we feel we know them because we've seen them in the media. We've seen them doing things. So you have a a a different approach. Whereas the ones that are from Katherine or Grace era, she can be whatever. You know? Because we've enough about her that I don't know that that's true. But so it's I think it's easier for an actor to play one that we aren't familiar with. But something, but that really kinda grazes your radar. I think that's difficult. Yeah. 0:10:35So that program has the final season coming up season six, which will maintain the current cast. I've read that it's scheduled to wrap photography sometime in May or June. And that Netflix, there's no release date, but Netflix has historically dropped that show in either November or December. So take that for whatever that's worth. We probably will see it by the end of the year maybe. Will they go up to the death of Elizabeth, or will they No. I I thought the plan was to kind of bring it up to, you know, we'll obviously see the death of of Princess Diana, and I think they have a young Kate Middleton cast. So we will see like William meet Kate in school. But I don't think it goes any further than that. I think that was their point was they wanted to kind of bring it up to sort of modern times, like, where we would recognize transition from that to almost the present day, but they weren't planning to bring it much further. Didn't you see though a standalone movie where they do the death of Elizabeth, where that's kinda and then the transition of power -- Yeah. -- that'd be cool. 0:11:45And just the drama, the Harry drama. Oh, the spare, I've been reading the book. Have you? Yeah. The spare is very interesting because you can see First of all, the media is the devil. He has the media responsible for everything, which I find kind of like Boy, they really fed him the kool Aid, didn't they? Mhmm. But he does have an altered view of his importance his place and the family drama. Now, he tells a lot of things that are very fascinating, you know, about how bad the the plumbing is in the palace and and how the sheets are repaired so many times that when you're in bed, you feel like all these these holes that used to be in there are darned over and it rubs against you. 0:12:36I think, well, that that's kind of information I would well, I'd want that. I'd like to know that kind of jump. But then he gets into his military career and single handedly, he is, like, Liam Nason here. He's doing a flying into Afghanistan and Yeah. It's and, you know, there are there are a lot of girlfriends mentioned that I never knew. I I'd be going if I were British press, I'd be going back and asking them a few questions about Is this the way that book actually happened? Can you fill me in on this? This is the truth. But he always is going about the paparazzi And early in the book, he has this philosophy that he thought his mom was not dead, that she was you know, just hiding out because she wanted to get away from all of it. 0:13:23And it took him going to the site of where she died to really come to a different different kind of conclusion. But it it is fascinating because those people don't reveal their feelings. For the most you never we don't know what the queen was like. She could have been a big old lush. But, you know, all we have to go on is that she has a purse, she likes corgis, and she always wore a hat. Right? And worse racing. Right. This is like this is what we know about the Queen. Yeah. So Queen speculation that a TV show does It is what it is. Yeah. 0:13:59I I haven't read the book. I'm not really interested in reading it. I I have not watched Harry and Meghan on Net flix and I I really don't feel like feeding that beast. You know, it's funny you mentioned the the the devil and the media yet they have no problem using the media to their own advantage. It's only when it it doesn't serve them right. 0:14:21But I think my problem is he he it just comes off as very elitist and entitled on his part. I mean, he I I I don't doubt that he's probably felt disparaged in some way. You know, we we all know going back to when even he was younger they were referred to as the heir in the spare. So I totally get that. But you're living a very gilded life to begin with. I I don't care about your problems all that much. It's it's a, you know, you you can have a lot of problems. And I also think too, like, you're kinda burning bridges at this point. 0:15:02We all have people in our families who we don't necessarily like. You see them on Thanksgiving, you got your crazy uncle or somebody that believes in weird conspiracies or that UFOs are coming down to com and you just kinda like, get denied politely and you move along. But in theory, he's really not that far removed from the monarchy. So Like, you would almost wanna be, like, let me just play it cool for the time being. Because in, you know, what happens if if Charles were to die? And then something crazy like William and his family are flying off somewhere in the plane crashes. All of a sudden, you're the king of England. So it's not you know, it's one thing with his his cousins who are like fourteenth in line and they're never gonna smell the throne room. But he's actually still not that far removed from from that position. Like, just kind of let it roll out and then maybe you know, years from now, but, you know, it is what it is. 0:16:00There I think Meghan and Harry are playing it like a reality show. You know, they all give me all that kind of angst that we should get on their side and we feel sorry for them. Look, I'm feeling sorry for nobody who has you ring a bell and you get a meal. I have to scramble to get a meal. So and they haven't they don't have to worry about any money. They can buy whatever they want. They can get whatever they want. But I do see the the kind of velvet handcuffs on them where you gotta go cut a ribbon or open a store or something and Is that really a job? 0:16:38Right? And he acts like he's the only one who's seen the real outside world. He hasn't seen the outside world at all. He wasn't working at seven eleven. He wasn't doing, you know, some of these things that they act like, oh, we are real commoners. We are just weird. You know? And so it's fascinating. I like I say, I enjoy reading this because it's so kind of diluted -- Right. -- about what the real world is. 0:17:06And then as you said, Putting the blame on the media when you don't really even know how grateful you should be to the media for carrying your water. Where would his side have been in this whole thing if Oprah hadn't said, hey, let's do a little let's do a little interview. You know? And so he's naive. Naive is a better word than spare. But he brings up the spare aspect all the time in that book. Yeah. I am just this Oh, feel sorry for me. He's gonna beat the queen's pony until its death on that one. Well, and yeah. And I think they will go. They will go to the coordination. Because that more content. They're it's they're just, like, influencers that have to have more content for their site. So they're going and they're not gonna look happy, but they're gonna go and then they're gonna bring the kids and then they all say that somebody dissed him or Camilla didn't grab the kids and hug them like she should have or it'll be some crap like that because it keeps the monarchy going. As long as there's interest in that, nobody is talking about, let's get away from Let's not do that. Let's just make those some museums that we can send people through. Of course. 0:18:29Now some royal drama that I do enjoy Bridgerton. Bridgerton. Yeah. I you probably are looking at me like, Terry, you you really Bridgerton? Yeah. I I enjoyed that. I kinda got roped into it with my wife and I've been sucked in. It's it's fun. It's just fun good old drama. 0:18:47I tried the first season, and there were so many disconnects. That I thought, you know, I can't. I can't do this because it's one more that I'm gonna have to watch. And I did not buy the characters But this is me. This is just me now. You enjoy. Go. Do. Enjoy. But I you know, when they lost their leading man after the first season. I thought, this is gonna really kill it. But then they've got enough people there that each year they can have a new one who's looking for love even though the plot seems a little familiar. 0:19:21I also like as a music buff they have, like, the vitamins yeah. The vitamin string quartet and there's another group too where they take contemporary music but turn it into ballroom dance songs. So when I'm watching it, I'm thinking, like, I know that song somewhere and then it's still there's still There's Nirvana. I can't believe you can dance to Nirvana. So that's kinda some good old fun. But, you know, it's It is what it is. I that one's I guess, they're still working on season three, no release date. Again, they're kind of like changing over some of the cast because they're gonna focus in on a different character or something, but it's it's not reality. So but it's kinda got that drama. 0:20:14With the newest with Miranda Gwynet, which is coming out this month -- Mhmm. -- they go back and they looked at all of the way that she was treated. And they looked at the books that were written about her and how people reacted to her. And they realized that what we know, the things like she says, let them eat cake. She never said that. Off with their heads or any of those kinds of things that seemed very kind of fictitious. It was all made up. And instead, she was just another person throwing into this this royal world. She had no idea what she was doing, and they hated her because she was an outsider. She was not somebody that was picked from the inside. And she really kind of had to learn with her king because he was thrown into it when his family died. So they were these naive kids. 0:21:13This is probably more like Romeo and Juliet than anything else. Yeah. And they had to figure out What do we do now? An interesting factor. We I think we have the interview, but I talked to the two stars of the of the mini series. 0:21:31Amelia Schul and Lewis Cunningham, and get this. He was never gonna be an actor. He did a couple of shows in his college. Right? And thought, oh, that's interesting. Okay. But he was all geared I think he was a German major, and he was gonna do something else. And suddenly he gets cast in this thing and his co star was actually serving as his kind of his adviser telling him what he needed to know to be able to be in a mini series. So it is it's fascinating how all of this world kind of opens up to certain people. And it's not unlike royalty, but you could be the star of a mini series tear. I could. You know, all you need and then the actors can lead you through it. So there you go. I'll I'll start looking for parts. 0:22:25The the closest thing that I could think of with this series, Netflix did one a couple years ago called the Last SARS. Did you see that one at all? Might have seen, like, an episode. I usually see the first episode of everything, and then after I'm done with that, I just bail. So the last star is if you haven't seen it, It's one of those shows where I'm not gonna recommend anybody you're listening to it to go see it because it wasn't that good. 0:22:48But the problem with it is once you watch one episode, you kind of feel compelled to finish them off because it's not that bad either. It's sort of in between. It's one of those that has It's, like, fifty six percent on rotten tomatoes. So it's not terrible, but it's just not great either. We need it. We don't have completion. That's what you're looking at. Exactly. And it was short enough. It was only episode. So it's kinda I can I can kinda work my way through mediocre series? 0:23:13It's but this that one felt a little bit like this Marie Antoinette where it's the czar, the last czar of Russia. It's it's how he gets married. The the the influence from Rasputin and kind of what happened leading up to the Bolshevic revolution and then ultimately the family getting wiped out. And and I think it might have it's been a while since I've seen it, but I think it might have even began with, you know, did Anastasia actually survive it because there's somebody in the hospital who's roughly that age who claimed to be the daughter of the czar and it was a fascinating look, and I think it provided some insight into the time period. And it was a good you know, it's somebody who's a student of history like myself and I like to think of myself, it was good to watch from that perspective. So I feel like I might actually hop into this one because it seems interesting enough to kinda cap my my attention. 0:24:07They shot at her side, so you actually get to see the locations and they were shocked because they said there's a lot of show there. You can see the, you know, the the grand ballrooms that they have, but they were living in, like, back rooms basically. They didn't really have all that opulence around them at all times. I don't think that's true with you know all all regal people. Mhmm. I don't I think some of them do have the the good stuff. But, you know, interesting, isn't it that you can go and I don't know that you as a tourist could go into those back rooms and see what it's like. They got an opportunity because they were filming there and they said, you wanna see this room and, like, Yeah. Okay. Let's go look. 0:24:50So that's and it this will be a three parter too where we have to so I just know that it's three years that they'll be doing this. I think that's eight episodes or so for the first season, then they'll do a second and they'll do the third. And so we don't get head cutting until the end. And then and there's no cake because we've we've already ruled that out. Cake. We are not having cake. No. Unless they decide to do it at the end. You know, let's end by the way, to celebrate this month's fundraiser on PBS. We're gonna be having cake. You don't get the tteok bag. You get a piece of cake. We're selling it. A hundred dollar donation. You we'll send you a piece of cake. We'll get the piece of cake. That's right. Alright. So let's queue that up. 0:25:34Amelia Schul is is Marie Antoinette. And Louis Cunningham, who plays Lewis King Lewis, are are the stars of this. And they became very, very, very good friends. In fact, before I was interviewing them, they were just sitting on a couch and he had kicked off his shoes. And his shoes were like they were huge. They had a huge heel on them. They were like, it looked like something you'd walk in a in a fashion show with. And I said, can I look at those shoes? Do you mind? He says, oh, they my feet hurt so bad from wearing them, but they look cool. And he didn't have enough room in his luggage. So she brought the shoes with to do the interviews. And so he he would have a look, but it wasn't like it was gonna be suffering for his art. But that was kind of a a little insight into their friendship. They really are close friends now. Because of this. And they're they're excited about going back. 0:26:31If they say it's really cool to know that you have another job to go to. That's the best part of being in a mini series or a limited series is that you're not just one and done. It's like, well, now we can go and see those same people next year. And keep up and then maybe look for some other work in the process. So, anyway, there's lots of fun. 0:26:50Here they are, Amelia and Lewis. This reminds me that please don't think I'm crazy for suggesting it, but it's a very hair Meghan kind of thing, where they're kind of the victims of all the people who just gossip around them. Did you see that at all? Or am I just crazy? It's been, like, brought up a bed. In different reviews. 0:27:11And I I'm not if I'm honest, I hadn't thought about it at all before. And I guess Yeah. Someone knew coming in to a big royal family really. I know. I guess maybe James kept saying that as well. James couldn't afford anything. Yeah. Maybe there are definitely something. But it definitely didn't it wasn't something that I could have thought of going into it. But yeah. Yeah. No. And maybe you're right. But look, I haven't really thought about it as well. I mean, courts are difficult, and there's always intrigues and, you know, like Social media is kind of the the the whispering that goes on in the a thing. And so it's like, oh, I wonder if that's I mean, if you could make that that parallel. I mean, I did make I didn't make the parallel Harry and Meghan, but I make the parallel that she was a victim of fake news and canceled culture. And, yeah, of this whole campaign that was designed to destroy her and to support the revolution. You know? 0:28:08When you look at all the things that are written about her, do you say, well, what can I believe What can I you know, because some people thought she was good, some thought she spent too much money, some thought she was fooling around? Yeah. I mean, where do you find her? That was definitely a challenge for me because I've, you know, been diving into the prep and we seeing all these books. And and then we have our script, which is an entirely new take on her. And then I I had this conversation with the red neighbors. And I was, like, naming all the books I've read and she was, like, what, you've read the Stephan Spike book? When I read that, I wanted to throw it against the wall. I hate that book. Mhmm. And I was, like, okay. You could Stephen Spike obviously didn't think she's a great person. And, you know, it's like the description of a mediocre character. It's like the subtitles of the of the script. So yeah. 0:28:54And this is when I kind of understood that. I have to we, you know, distance myself from all this and find my own Marie Antoinette and we have this script. We have my work and, you know, did did you like her? Oh, yeah. I totally sympathized with her. Like, I didn't know like, I had all these cons conceptions about her before I, you know, got this part. And then when prepping, I, you know, I fell in love with her because her life was tragic, you know, like, she's getting sent away from a home country. It's kind of child marriage. She's a husband who doesn't touch her So she has to bear the humiliation of, like, hold Europe. And she can't fulfill her only job that she has to do to, you know, produces air. Mhmm. So I do get why she, you know, distracted herself with the partying and the dresses and the wigs because she's been traumatizing stock up to stock up since, you know. Yeah. So yeah. I think Cover. 0:29:53I think it was what's really interesting is reading the history books and then seeing yeah. As you said, how things are so different in different accounts? And thinking, okay, why is that? Why a perception? Changing. And then from that, you can kind of get a slight understanding of what you might want to portray within, you know, your character. Could you relate at all to him? Or is it, like, yeah, do you see it? Oh, I'm not like that I I talk. Yeah. I mean, on that level No. Not so much. But absolutely. I mean, I think I've -- Yeah. 0:30:24-- a hundred percent been in situations where kind of anxieties or fear takes over and you it's kind of a fight fight or fight type situation. Yeah. And I just shut off. I was saying the panel that we've just done, you know. I just almost kind of on zombie mode of automatic function, kind of just rolling out. And obviously, I was speaking there, but it's that kind of because it's stressful. It's stressful. It's stressful. It's of that. But at the base of it, I was just like, okay. Put myself in his shoes. Fifteen year old fifteen years old getting married. Your parents have both died, your brothers died, you know that you're gonna become king of this country that you really don't know much about, to be honest. Never see much of it other than your massive castle. Yeah. And the pressure that has put on you is a normal and especially the pressure in the bedroom. It's like how on earth could you ever perform -- Yes. -- sexually under such political stress and kind of Yeah. Yeah. Sorry. Excuse me for being stupid. 0:31:27Did you major in acting in Not Oh. So what were what was that career that you were studying? Yeah. So the career no. I I studied German and philosophy at university. Speak to and French. We have another show, the deck of Filiens. Okay. So very great. 0:31:43And I but I always loved loved theater. And I did a bunch of theater on the side of my degree at my university. And I I was at the mindset that, okay, maybe if I finish university and then I still really wanna do this. I'll play drama schools in the UK and then go from there and to patterns or I'll get it out of my system and then go and do I have no idea what. But I got so lucky, a casting director saw a player that I was in and then introduced me to my I'm saying? Do you tell him this doesn't happen? No. It doesn't. I told him that I waited seventeen years to get a job like this. And it's his first job, like, proper job. Is that fair? Not really fair. No. No. No. But I had her. I haven't heard a guy. Honestly, I can't I will say this to you for a quarter machine. 0:32:37Amelia is one one of the most insanely talented people I've ever met in my life. Two, the kindness. Three, the most impressive guideer ever. You know, if I was lost, stressed nervous or just didn't really know how something worked. Always always always explaining it to me, helping me out, pushing me along right now. She didn't say scared in my share them. Yeah. Hold on. And she would make everything vibrant and exciting and fresh and energetic and, you know, we would play with everything. 0:33:05And these like, by the end, when I know you're gonna be. I'm just like So does it make you wanna do this then? This is the career? So all that other careful just It's like a drug, you know, like, once you, you know, try it from once you're hooked, like, acting, doing the films Have you both thought about what this could do for your careers? Nope. No. I mean, because this will be a big platform. It will be a big launch. And Yeah. Yeah. But then again, you know, like, the market is so big. There's so much out there. So I'm trying to be like, shit. Build and, you know, it can go in either direction and you just have to be grateful, you know, like, take a day by day. Yeah. What did you shaved your hair? For for filming Germany. 0:33:46Did they shoot those scenes then when she is executed? Maria Antoinette? No. No. No. Because it didn't she ever I mean, this is what I've read. I don't know if they've like, to be honest, my prep went up until the and where we finished season one because there was a lot a lot to prep for. So she still has her head at the end of season one. So we could have season two, and it would be fine. That would be fine? Well, I mean, you you gotta do the same. You should be alive. It isn't like No. I'm still alive then. Yes. Yeah. Okay. It's your free season concept. 0:34:20Do you think about though doing that last kind of moment of these characters. It's really interesting. Deborah was very specific and she said in the history books, don't read a past a certain point? Yeah. Because these people didn't know what was coming for them. So why why should he Yeah. So we didn't think about that moment. No. 0:34:39But it's in the in the first season, there are a couple of tiny things that I kind of foreshadowing wants to come. And that was a really interesting things to think about. And also, the first season is really just within Dasei and in the court. So it shows how blissfully unaware there were, everything going on without side and the reality of life in France for the normal people. And to Yep. It was it was kind of more interesting to play these roles with no concept. 0:35:11Did you think you could live this life? Did you say -- No. -- I really No. No. It's horrible. I mean, you come to code, everyone, like, as a Spanishman gentleman, everyone hates you because you're Austrian, everyone's to get rid of you. And and there's are these, like, stupid one hundred your old rules, you have no privacy, you're always observed, always judged, and controlled, and you have no life on your own, of your own, you know. This is why she was so rebellious because she wanted to, you know, be human being. 0:35:43Have you watched the great? Yes. Yes. Do you see parallels between characters? Or Yeah. I mean, it yeah. But both of them but, I mean, Katherine just That's played for humor, but it's still I mean, both wanted to change the court, and Katherine succeeded, and Melania didn't. So, I guess, Katherine was just more lucky, you know. 0:36:08Did you think she was pretty? I mean, I I don't Maria Twonette, do you look at pictures of her because some, you say, and then some, they say she was just beautiful. So how do you find what the visual is of her. I honestly haven't thought about that, but what they do write about in the picture is that she was just very very and she had this aura and this playfulness and that was just seductive, you know. That's what I've, you know, try I've been trying to And the hunter? Are you hunter hunter? No. I'm really No. I'm I'm a gatherer. I'm a gatherer. Yeah. Great. I but also get back to the kind of, like, image of these people. They had their portraits painted. You haven't you never know. They can take a look at some eighteenth century photoshop -- Right. -- on those things. Yeah. Sure. Sure. It could be worse. Right? Who knows? 0:37:02I mean, I think the idea of an arranged marriage where I mean, is that just so foreign to you that -- Yes. -- where do you where do you find a way in? It's views. It's not right. I mean, people in India would see, you know, see that differently. There's a lot of range. Marriages. I I think what even more than just being in a range marriage, it was that they were children. They were I mean, I think of myself at fifteen. I was the you know, and I was keen. Yeah. Yeah. I was just so unprepared for the world and that you're forced to marry someone you don't know. You've never met. 0:37:41But I think, you know, with Louis, he's trying to weigh up. He's angry because he doesn't wanna be kidding. He's been forced to marry his brother as horrible to him. Everyone thinks he's useless. And then this woman comes in and he's kind of simultaneously reguiled in or of her, but also doesn't want to do that because it kind of, you know, he falls in line with everything that has been laid out for him then. But so he's just completely drawn in every direction. 0:38:06How is it working in France? Is that interest thing. The rumor is true. They do have wine at lunch, but first of all, it's true. Like, it's I've seen it. And then the other If you will get around to the house of people. 0:38:26The other rumor that they don't speak English is also true. Like, or hearty and English. So that's been a challenge, but then also beautiful for me because, you know, like, my hairdresser who has spent, like, I I counted. I must have spent like four hundred hours on the hair chair and he didn't speak any English and I didn't speak any French. But you can communicate age, not verbally. Because we do best parties. Okay. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. That's if that sums it up. 0:38:55And also, we were living in Paris. We were living in Paris. But That's not too bad. It. You know? Yeah. We were all kind of five minutes away from each other. Yeah. We could. Yeah. From a You were living in Paris. Do you have, like, go betweens to help you talk to people? Or But What does it go between? Somebody who would need to translate Oh, wait. Well, actually, half of the costs were friends So -- Yeah. -- that helped a lot. Yeah. They've managed to find the most incredible number of half French half English actors. And, you know, they all live in Paris, but then have, you know, one parent is English, so they'd be perfect English, perfect English. Tractor. But so they would help a lot. Yeah. No. 0:39:37But there were moments where they said like action and French, and I didn't realize we were filming. Yeah. Yeah. You know what we've stated in those. Yeah. We'll we'll tell them on these what they say. What? So how would they approximate? Did your French get better than? A little bit, a little bit. The petite. Let's eat it. Yeah. Yeah. It was amazing by the end. Not up by the end. I didn't have any time at night six for days, but I started to learn French after we stopped filming. You say that, but actually your friend. She knew the good words. Right? She was able to say certain things. Then when you come to the next two two years of this, when do you go back to do something thing on this. When would you feel? We don't know, but something. No. That's not. Yeah. Well, that that isn't that the best. Yeah. Alright. Thank you so much. Thank you so appreciate it ever.

He surveys post-battle repair needs, meets with Symon Silver Tongue, inspects two new family heirlooms, is told by his father to do the impossible, gets marital advice from his father, and participates in a discussion regarding the Night's Watch. None of it is going to make his life any easier. Simon and Mackelly pour him a tall cup of Arbor Gold.Chapter Review:Tyrion Lannister surveys the damages done during the battle. The repair costs will well exceed what the crown has in its coffers. Before returning to the Red Keep, he and Bronn make a detour to visit the singer Symon Silver Tongue, in a run-down wine sink. Tyrion offers to pay the man to take his act on a tour of Essos. However, Symon instead tells Tyrion that if Tyrion can't get him a spot in the singing competition at the royal wedding, he'll sing a song about Tyrion's affair with Shea for all to hear. Afterward, Tyrion tells Bronn to make sure Symon's body is never found.Next, Tyrion learns he's been summoned by his father. Tywin Lannister shows Tyrion two new Valyrian steel swords he's commissioned. One is for Joff and the other for Jamie. Next order of business is the city repairs. Tyrion reports what he's found and that there's not enough coin to pay for the repairs. Tywin tells him he'll find the coin or Tywin will find someone who can. The topic then turns toward Tyrion's marriage to Sansa Stark. Tywin wants it consummated immediately. Tyrion asks about his father's betrothal plans for Cersei and Willas Tyrell. Tywin informs him that Mace Tyrell rejected the notion.As Tywin begins to mention replacement suitors, Grand Maester Pycelle arrives. He's gotten a letter from Castle Black asking for more men. Tywin couldn't care less about the Night's Watch's woes. However, he does see an opportunity to put a Lannister loyalist in charge of the Black Brothers.

Sansa's dress has arrived. It's as beautiful as she'd hoped but there's a rather large string attached. It's a wedding dress and the groom is Tyrion. Sansa protests. Tyrion commiserates. Joffrey is awful. The whole thing is a fiasco, and their post-wedding bedding goes equally as poorly. Simon and Mackelly keep the receipt for their wedding gift.Chapter Review:Sansa Stark finally gets her long-awaited dress she'd been measured for a while back. She loves it and can't wait for Willas Tyrell to see her in it. She's sure it will make him love her for who she is, not her claim to Winterfell. She has Queen Cersei's entire retinue of handmaids working on beautifying her. Right when she couldn't be any happier about how she looks in the dress, Cersei drops the bomb saying it's wasted on “that gargoyle.” Turns out it's a wedding dress and her groom will be Tyrion Lannister. She refuses and tries to flee, but ultimately concedes to her fate.At the sept, Tyrion offers to call it off, if she'd prefer to marry Lancel Lannister. Sansa figures it doesn't matter. A Lannister is a Lannister. Sansa cries throughout the wedding and things only get worse when Tyrion can't reach Sansa's shoulders to put the Lannister cloak on her. The wedding feast doesn't improve on things, ending with Tyrion threatening to geld King Joffrey.Later in a bedchamber in the Tower of the Hand, the new couple struggle to connect. Sansa is too polite, and too young. Tyrion brings up his previous wife. He makes her undress and get into bed but ultimately can't go through with the bedding. He offers not to touch her until she wants him to. She says that might never happen.Characters/Places/Names/Events:Sansa Stark - Elder daughter of Ned and Catelyn Stark.Tyrion Lannister - Youngest son of Tywin Lannister.

Not having read the graphic novel series, my anticipation for Netflix's live-action adaptation of The Sandman was based on solely on my love of Neil Gaiman's other works (American Gods), the visuals in the trailer, and the diversity of the cast. Everything delivered in the first two episodes. Charles Dance's Roderick Burgess was like if Tywin Lannister went to Hogwarts — and you know he'd have been Slytherin — and Tom Sturridge is about to AMSR his way into reading some Buzzfeed thirst tweets. It's not until episode two, when Sturridge's Morpheus witnesses the cost of his absence, that things get truly beautiful.
