Gretchen and Caroline continue their analysis with the chapter The Dying of the Dragons: Rhaenyra Triumphant, Part 2. Rhaenyra is EVHUL and passes TAXES on the people of King's Landing, since the crown has no money due to *checks notes* Aegon and the Hightowers literally stealing it all. Wow Rhaenyra is so evil!

We also recorded this episode during the 12 hours that TikTok was banned xD

Caroline and Gretchen continue their analysis with the chapter The Dying of the Dragons: Rhaenyra Triumphant, Part 1. Rhaenyra EVHULY imposes taxes on the denizens of King's Landing, while Aemond successfully captures a totally empty Harrenhal. He then breaks up with with boyfriend Crispus Cole, because the commander refuses to literally kill everyone in a hopeless battle. Maybe Alice Rivers will give Aemond cognitive behavioral therapy, too?

Gretchen and Caroline conclude their analysis of the chapter The Dying of the Dragons: The Red and the Gold, Part 5. Rhaenyra is EVHUL and takes King's Landing SPOOKILY without bloodshed, because she is so scary! But don't worry because Daemon is the real threat, and the Green's got their eyes on him.

Also super sorry this episode was supposed to be released in November LOL but ya girl Caroline got busy :) enjoy the look into the past. We'll be back with regular episodes now!

Caroline and Gretchen continue their analysis with The Dying of the Dragons: The Red and the Gold, Part 4. A little whoopsie-doodle in the Gullet results in Jace's untimely but very thematically significant demise, which spurs Rhaenyra to invade Kind's Landing. That's definitely what happened! She has no other reason! Also we can't escape worms.

Caroline and Gretchen are joined yet again by friend-of-the-pod, Phil! The group continue their analysis with The Dying of the Dragons: The Red and the Gold Part 3. Team Black rubs their scheming hands together as they decide to evilly *checks notes* let commoners try to ride dragons and earn a lordship. Justice for Nettles!

Caroline and Gretchen are joined by YET ANOTHER FRIEND, Phil! The group continue their analysis with The Dying of the Dragons: The Red and the Gold Part 2. Rook's Rest is under siege and Rhaenyra, too cowardly to fight and disabled by her wandering womb, send Rhaenys instead. Meanwhile, "King" Aegon flies into battle himself! What a smart and brave plan that definitely won't go wrong at all!

Gretchen and Caroline continue their analysis with The Dying of The Dragons: The Red and the Gold Part 1. Otto Hightower loses his job as Hand of the King for doing too much diplomacy, so The Smartest King Aegon appoints Crustacean Cole as his new Hand - an "iron fist," as the kids say ;-) Luckily George R.R. Martin watched The Parent Trap in the 90s and hilarity ensues!

TRIGGER WARNING episode, child death :-/

Caroline and Gretchen continue their analysis with The Dying of the Dragons: A Son for a Son Part 2. Lord Boros' clever daughter says "No balls!" to Almond Targaryen, so he definitely intentionally chomps Lucerys. In response, Daemon says "I read my bible!" and demands an eye for an eye, killing Prince Jaehaerys. Thanks George!
