Dire Wolves Are Howling Again—For Real This Time Nope, this isn’t a fan-fiction plot twist. Colossal Biosciences, a genetic engineering company known as “The De-Extinction Company,” has just announced the successful de-extinction of the dire wolf, the massive canine made famous by Game of Thrones. Using DNA pulled from two fossil samples and combining it with 20 precise gene edits to a gray wolf (the dire wolf’s closest living cousin), researchers have created a living, breathing version of the prehistoric predator. While not a perfect clone, it’s the closest science has ever come to reviving an extinct species—and it's officially the first de-extinct animal to walk the Earth again. And yes, it howls.

Ser Duncan l'Alto, o Dunk, se lo si vuole, è decisamente un cavaliere sui generis, e non perché non ha propriamente il titolo, ma perché... beh, è un vero cavaliere, quello che ricorda che cosa davvero significa adempiere alle promesse del giuramento. E fino a qui, uno potrebbe dire, tutto bene, se non che Dunk ha anche l'incredibile talento di finire in situazioni decisamente poco ideali. Il suo viaggio per il Campo di Ashford non è iniziato bene, prima muore il suo mentore, poi uno strano bambino pelato dagli occhi stranamente violetti decide di seguirlo e attarsi a lui come una cozza su uno scoglio... e la sua interazione con la famiglia reale, arrivati in larga parte lì ad Ashford, parte con il piede sbagliato. Uno screzio con il principe Aerion Targaryen mette Dunk in pericolo, rendendolo protagonista di un giudizio per combattimento particolare, il "Giudizio dei Sette". Ha alleati, certo: il ragazzino pelato, Egg, che si rivela anche lui essere un principe della corona, Aegon, suo fratello maggiore Daeron, una mela non del tutto matura, un fabbro brusco ma che ne sa più di molti e, anche e soprattutto, l'erede alla corona, il principe Baelor. Ecco, non sembra siano gli unici dalla sua, perché a ben guardare, Dunk è stato benedetto proprio dai volti della divinità che dà il nome al processo. Come? Lo scopriamo in questo video, dove... abbiamo una cosa o due in più da dire, in realtà, su Dunk e le divinità di Westeros. Come se si fossero coalizzate, sì, coalizzate per proteggerlo...Art by Mike S.

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. Brother to queen Cersei and Jamie Lannister. Former Hand of the King.Illyrio Mopatis - Magister of Pentos. Former guardian of Viserys and Daenerys Targaryen.

Actor Steve Toussaint, known for his role as Lord Corlys Velaryon in House of the Dragon, may have inadvertently confirmed a major casting decision for the upcoming third season. In a now-deleted Instagram post, Toussaint shared a cast list for House of the Dragon Season 3, Episode 4, revealing the inclusion of Prince Daeron Targaryen—a character long speculated to appear in the show.The post was quickly taken down, but not before fan accounts captured and circulated screenshots across social media platforms. The list also included Lady Jeyne Arryn, a character who briefly appeared in Season 2, suggesting an expanded role in the upcoming season.Daeron Targaryen is the youngest son of King Viserys I and Alicent Hightower, making him the younger brother of King Aegon II, Queen Helaena, and Prince Aemond. Unlike his siblings, Daeron was sent to be fostered by House Hightower in Oldtown, a decision made to solidify the family's influence in Westeros. Though absent from the first two seasons, his existence has been subtly acknowledged in dialogue, most notably in a conversation between Alicent and her brother, Ser Gwayne Hightower.In Fire & Blood, the novel by George R.R. Martin that serves as the basis for the series, Daeron is known to be a skilled dragon-rider, bonded with Tessarion, a blue-scaled she-dragon. While details about her age and growth differ in the source material, she is expected to be large enough for battle by the time the Targaryen civil war—known as the Dance of the Dragons—reaches its peak.Daeron's arrival is a significant development in the ongoing struggle between Rhaenyra and Aegon II for the Iron Throne. With another dragon-rider entering the fray, the balance of power may shift dramatically. His presence could also deepen the internal conflicts within House Hightower and the Targaryen factions.Additionally, Toussaint's leaked cast list hints at other notable absences and inclusions. Episode 4 will reportedly omit major players such as Prince Aemond, Otto Hightower, and Addam Velaryon, while featuring Lady Jeyne Arryn. If Jeyne plays a more substantial role, this could indicate increased focus on the Vale and its strategic importance in the war.This is not the first time House of the Dragon has faced early leaks. Casting confirmations and behind-the-scenes photos frequently surface online, fueling speculation about future plotlines. While HBO has yet to officially announce Daeron's casting, Toussaint's deleted post serves as the strongest evidence yet of his upcoming debut.Season 3 of House of the Dragon is currently in production, with a release date expected in 2026 on HBO and Max.Who is Daeron Targaryen?What This Means for Season 3A Pattern of Early Reveals
Mittlerweile 14 Jahre (Gott, sind wir alt...) ist es her, dass auf HBO eine Serie anlief, die Geschichte schreiben und zu einem wahren Popkultur-Phänomen werden sollte: "Game of Thrones". Das unrühmliche Ende ist aber auch bereits sechs Jahre her, und so haben Marius und Christian beschlossen, Westeros mal wieder einen Besuch abzustatten. In unserer zweiten Reihe im Jahr 2025 (neben unserem Trek-Talk) sprechen wir nacheinander über die acht Staffeln der Fantasy-Serie. Los geht's mit Season 1 - einem Meisterstück in Sachen Exposition, wie Christian befindet. Viel Spaß beim Reinhören!

Simon and Mackelly consider opening our first branch of our Essosi travel agency.Chapter Review:Quentyn Martell tries to find passage from Volantis to Slaver's Bay. But despite the abundance of ships, nobody wants to take him. The autumn brings storms to the southern seas, and with the Dragon Queen upending the normal order of things, there's little prospect for trade with any of the cities in Slaver's Bay.He and his friend Gerris Drinkwater return to their lodgings, taking in the sites of Volantis. It's the largest of the free cities, sitting at the mouth of the mighty Rhoyne river. They consider their options: go home - Quentyn couldn't stand to return a failure, risk a journey with an untrustworthy captain, or go by land - the option favored by their final companion Archibald Yronwood. However, the length of the journey by land and the hazardous reputation of the road gives them pause.Outside their inn they're propositioned by recruiters for the Windblown - sellswords headed to Yunkai to fight Astapor. But this gives Gerris an idea…Characters/Places/Names/Events:Quentyn Martell - Eldest son, and second child of Prince Doran Martell of Dorne.Gerris Drinkwater - Quentyn's companion.Archibald Yronwood - The Big Man - final member of the trio.Volantis - City on the south coast of Essos at the mouth of the Rhoyne.Rhoyne - Great river of Essos.Triarch - Three rulers of Volantis, elected by landowners.

We leave behind Targaryens and dragons swapping them for the Hightowers and a certain Alys Westhill. But don't worry this episode is teeming with monsters of all sorts including krakens, leviathans and mystery beasts.We've also got Biblical storms, Greek mythology, gene splicing, and a whole host of tropical diseases we are sure GRRM enjoyed naming.Get in touch with any questions or comments.We hope you enjoy!

Here it is!The next episode for your lovely ears. This is the moment we close the chapter, "Jaehaerys And Alysanne: Their Triumphs and Tragedies".We recorded this earlier in November and we were beset by several technical issues, including Stef's audio/internet totally failing for a good while. So apologies for the slow speed of getting this one out and for the fact Stef actually disappears for about 15 minutes at one point. Oops.But fear not! Because Beth was not alone! We had a guest. An absolute legend in the fandom, Lady Gwyn, from none other than Radio Westeros. She was there to help us close out this awesome section of the book.With her we talked Crumpets and Strumpets and the scariest castle in all of Westeros: The Nightfort. There was some Alyanne vs Rhaena chat and we wondered what really happened when some of the people... ummm.... dickered?This was a hard episode for Beth because this part is where Alysanne, who receives a very frosty welcome in the north, is undeniably amazing, seeing as she changes the fate of Westeros forever. We heart you Alysanne!Trigger warning: this episode contains mentions of rape and domestic violence.

Get bonus episodes on Patreon! When in doubt, don't leave a paper trail. Sansa's treasonous letters are the latest in a long line of smoking gun documents that have incriminated and condemned our favorite characters. This chapter is all about books and songs and letters – and the stories we tell ourselves. Is Sansa's idealism a naïve delusion or an aspirational faith in humanity? Is her self-interest par for the course in Westeros or uniquely treasonous? Can we condemn her? Can we forgive her? And what do we learn from this moral stalemate?

Another week, another meltdown over Xbox exclusives and "WhY ShOuLd I bUy An XbOx", all because Phil continues to say the same thing over and over for years. We also got confirmation that the Mass Effect Television show is full steam ahead! Lets hope Amazon repeats the magic it did with Fallout. Plus there are apparently a million star wars movies in development, and im sure only 4 will actually come out. Denzel teases his future in the MCU, and D23 Brazil brought the heat. That and a hell of a lot more.
It's been a week since the election and why Americans voted to send Donald Trump back to the White House is beginning to come into focus. The entire Holy Post team—Phil, Skye, Kaitlyn, and Esau—is here to talk about why Trump won and how Harris lost. Was it the economy? Was it racism and misogyny? Was it identity politics or disinformation in the media? Everyone has a theory. Then New York Times columnist and Holy Post regular, David French, is back to give his take on the election. He explains why Kamala Harris's decision to focus on abortion backfired, and why January 6 did not disqualify Trump for most Americans. 0:00 - Intro 1:21 - Theme Song 1:42 - Sponsor - Glorify - Sign up for the #1 Christian Daily Devotional App to help you stay focused on God.

Why do so many fantasy stories center on the protagonist fulfilling a "Chosen One" prophecy? We don't really answer that this week, but we do talk about the undercurrent of prophecy in Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon, the "Song of Ice and Fire" that this universe is named for. We also look briefly at how specifically Chosen One prophecies are present in many of our favorite fantasy works, and how prophecy is often tied to religion, and we explore some of the major religions of Westeros. We also open with our favorite segment, Wig Watch! Go to our Instagram to see the wigs we talk about. Further Reading: Major Religions explained George R. R.
