THE BLACK QUEEN - House of the Dragon discussion - Casterly Talk - EP 156 Oct 24, 2022

Show notes

Dawn has broken on Dragonstone and with it comes the news from Rhaenys herself – King Viserys I is dead and Rhaenrya’s succession has not just been challenged, it has been usurped. King Aegon II sits on the Iron Throne in King’s Landing and Rhaenrya Targaryen must decide what to do next – even as she experiences a traumatic and excruciating stillbirth. Honor, justice, and ambition sit at the center of this episode as many on Dragonstone want to follow Daemon’s rage into war, but Rhaenrya has long carried the knowledge that the true weight of the crown is the burden to keep the realm together lest you rule over its ashes. All eyes are on Rhaenrya, the Queen of the Seven Kingdoms and Protector of the realm, and while we’ve all been waiting for those dragons to dance… the music has begun to play… Let's dive into the 10th episode of HOUSE OF THE DRAGON on the 156th episode of Casterly Talk with Ken Napzok, Alden Diaz, and Andres Cabrera Follow Casterly Talk on Twitter: https://twitter.com/CasterlyTalk Order Ken's book Why We Love Star Wars: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1642500003/...

RINGS OF POWER DISCUSSION - EPISODE 7 "The Eye" - Casterly Talk - EP 151 Oct 07, 2022

Show notes

Fire reigns from the sky, and a new land of shadow has been created! That's right, friends - MORDOR is here. How do we find new layers of hope, resolve, & restored purpose amidst our most crushing failures? That is the core of this key, character-building installment of THE RINGS OF POWER. An unexpected alliance forms between Galadriel and the young soldier-in-the-making, Theo. There we confront questions of good deeds vs. dark hearts, all of which intimately connect to the battle between father & son that we see taking place with Durin III & Durin IV. Meanwhile, tragedy strikes families of men AND Harfoots, as the characters of Elendil, Isildur, Miriel, Nori, & The Stranger all face their fears and reckon with change across our storylines. It's all here on the 151st episode of Casterly Talk and the sixth episode of our Rings of Power Reviews with Alden Diaz, Rachel Cushing Levine, and Nicky Kumar.

DRIFTMARK - House of the Dragon - EP 7 discussion - Casterly Talk - EP 150 Oct 03, 2022

Show notes

What is stronger, blood or a name? That big question hangs over the seventh episode of HOUSE OF THE DRAGON as all of the unresolved issues, trauma, and whispered machinations come to a head as the next generation starts to quite literally tear each other apart. King Viserys I is clearly on his last legs and his long-held desire to keep the realm and, more importantly, his family together is slipping away from him as the truth of everything can no longer be avoided. Securing legacies, strengthening positions, and claiming what you actually want out of this world -- there is a lot at stake as everyone gathers on Driftmark.
