I cannot stress how much I appreciate the “Squishers” label on Crackclaw Point on the logistical food map of Westeros
It should be a different color, though 😅
Trey you are a delightful young man
1:52 Glad to see HoTD characters finally adapted the teleportation skills from GoT season 7-8. We entered our “bad poosy” era faster than we thought.
Teleportation started with like season 2
SR, Brandon and Chad episodes are the reason I wish HBO keeps making ASOIAF shows forever.
Amen.
A 100 years of SR, Brandon and Chad. A 100 years baby.
I havent watched Preston since the Thrones days, can I be reminded who Brandon and Chad are? I only remember Sweet Robin son of Lysa
Fact
@@rgqwerty63 SR, Brandon and Chad are the characters that narrate these episodes (like this video). Brandon is the Nighking and Chad Summerchild is the one in armor
Preston, I know you're inundated with work and a dad on top. We appreciate all you do to keep us engaged. It definitely helps us get through the week. We love you.
2nd this
love how Jace giving Harrenhal away so that a whole 2000 men can pass through the twins is treated as a major W.
Jace does say that giving it away requires a lot more than just letting the men through.
@@carlbates9110 Yeah they haven't told us what they are getting for that.
Harrenhal isn't worth anything.
Amazing that this doesn't seem to be generally recognised.
@@alanpenniewell the Freys wanted harrenhal back in their fake negotiations with Robb in season 3 of GOT so it seems to make sense but also people want harrenhal because of its strategic location like moat cailin in the north although harrenhal isn't impassable like cailin it's still a major land mass in the riverlands and control a part of the kings road
🎵 put my king in a box 🎵
The dragons head isn’t smoking, there’s incense burning in bowls on either side of the cart
Yes. Just like the King’s crate. After the long trip, I’m certain everything was all a bit whiffy/stinky.
An unfortunate necessity of teleportation. For some reason that process makes everything smell like burnt apples. A bit like outer space. It can't be helped... 🤷
I think you’re just spotting how they did the effect. The look of the flesh is clearly supposed to be a smoldering carcass.
@@carpeimodiemApples? I thought outer space spelled like raspberries
@@magister343 it does. Well... Technically only the center of the Milky Way smells like raspberries. Space in general smells like burnt metallic meat
When Chad Summerchild starts making sense, it's a dark omen
Aemond doesn’t need guards because he studied the blade.
Also while people probably knew that dragons could be killed the disrespect of having one’s head paraded through the city probably did a lot to make them seem more like animals.
@carlbates9110 same dragon who killed hundreds of them during coronation day. Smallflok never hold candle for dragons as "Gods" even before coronation.
Funny enough according to Ryan "meleys is beloved and war experienced" the show is known losing its own plot.
That faceless whale was pretty destructive, huh?
This is legitimately as entertaining as watching the show at this point, thanks P-dog.
CHAD SUMMERCHILD PROMOTED. YEES!!
“The blood maybe too thin”
Rhaenyra, your own mother was only half-Targaryen. At best your kids with Harwin are like 1/3rd Targaryen.
3/8ths Targaryen which is very slightly more than one third. LMAO, but your point stands.
@@psevdhome 3/8ths? how'd you get to that conclusion
@@OfficialRedTeamReviewThree Targaryen grandparents out of a possible eight
@@justinleecw And Velaryon blood in there somewhere too because I'm pretty sure her great grandfather was half Velaryon
@@OfficialRedTeamReview I feel like the point still stands. As it turns out you really don’t need *that* much Targaryen ancestry to ride a dragon. Harwin having absolutely no Targ ancestry and Rhaenyra having only partial and ALL their kids having no problem being dragon riders is kind of telling. I’m not sure how it works genetically but dragon-riding must be some kind of dominant or x-linked trait or her kids got really lucky.
The coming is winter line cracked me up lol
Maybe the "hours are critical" are because of how long it took them to get back and his wounds were already festering and we just missed the side eye Maester Oreo gave Rice Crispies for not having him heal at Rooks Rest... especially since that's what they did with his dragon. I mean they did take the castle and garrison it, surely the Maester didn't die during the explosion left by Mealeece. Unless of course all the Maesters from Rooks Rest to Rosby were all murdered by Aemond which is why his sword was unsheathed at the end of the battle, he wasn't trying to kill Aegon with it he just finished killing the Maester! And then afterwards he left them all to fly back to King's Landing alone and murdered all the other Maesters. He could get away with this by Larys Strong warging into all the guards of each castle so that they wouldn't notice Aemond murdering people blatantly mid day. It all makes sense now.
I figure that the maester of Rooks Rest tried to get him stable but that he had no more than a single silver link in his chain (i.e., he only studied the very basics of medicine) and figure that Maester Orwyle (who had many silver links and was among the best healers in Westeros) would have a better chance of saving him.
@@magister343 Typical that a Staunton would have a discount beta Maester.
The ship blockading the sandwich stand was such a beautiful closer
I think "The next few hours are critical" is in reference to him recovering from the procedure, they reopened all the wounds removing his armor.
I'm a simple girl. I see a Preston notification and I click
Wait till you find out he has an OF.
@@anonymous-hz2unyeah, I'm only interested in BL Manga, tbh.... And I don't have to pay for it
Same here. These videos are my favorite. I was so happy when they did Westworld, it just makes the shows even better
a girl?????
Better than anything since the red wedding
I love both House of the Dragon and Preston making fun of it.
I like how the squishers get a spot on the map
Yeah Preston convinced me that the writers of season 2 did not watch season 1
So Chad Summerchild has been ahorse all this time?
Legitimately my favourite series on RUclips. Thanks for your content Preston
The Rhaenrya Alicent Sept scene was a really good example of my major problem with the season. There are a lot of well written, acted, and directed scenes that work very well on their own, that make no fucking sense whatsoever when you think about them in relation to both each other and the overarching plot. Steve Toussaint did a phenomenal job with the opening scene but as you said, he was on Dragonstone, how did the message get delivered, was there a week time jump in between episode 4 and 5? It boggles the mind that they can write such emotional scenes for such talented actors and just sorta wing it for everything else.
We call it the game of thrones effect
I'm not sure I've ever watched a show this bipolar. It's absolutely incredible some scenes then downright stupid on others. I still love the show, and try to dismiss what I can, but there are some head scratchers.
Because they write separate scenes and not a linear plot.
The scenes where Rhaenys shares wisdom with Rhaenyra look good, until you remember that for 6 years she believed that Rhaenyra killed her son and still kinda believes in it.
The scene of Otto screaming at Aegon looks good until you remember that Otto killed Lord Caswell, didn’t say anything to Cole when he killed Lord Beesbury but suddenly lost his head because of 10-15 rat-catchers. Also, his speech about how stupid Aegon is and how good Viserys was looks beautiful if you don’t think that Aegon had previously done almost everything as Otto said and made one mistake after the death of his son ( which smart Otto should understand), while Viserys led the kingdom to civil war for 20 years.
@@Bodharas Imo, to me it's like the earlier GoT seasons. It's good. But even those seasons had some really bad moments. Like the whole Robb's wife being some complete rando from Volantis or Littlefinger teleporting all over the place
"Hallucination"
I died 🤣
Aegon and Otto’s written dialogue and their performances were severely missed this episode. Maybe that’s another reason why people had so many criticisms of this episode.
I can understand that the people of Kings Landing are in shock of realizing that Dragons are more mortal than they thought, hence why they aren't celebrating its death. They're just meat to them now.
But the BTS with Ryan Condal saying Meleys was beloved by the small folk makes me think they didn't re-watch S1E9.
Dude, if a god kills a god that does not make them more killable to mortals. The Dornish killing Meraxes might have had the impact you are talking about, Vhagar murdering a smaller dragon? Just Wednesday.
@@jmra99 I don't think the small folk would have much knowledge on Meraxes death. And even if they do, seeing a godlike creature utterly brutalized is way more real to them than just hearing about it.
Maybe Ryan Condal has mentally blocked the Dragonpit scene. I believe that scene was Miguel Sapochnik's idea
@@efrent-vr3bm Didn't Sara Hess say she came up with it in Inside the Episode?
@randeli7785 they would know, there is no hiding something like that
King in a box.....😅😅😅😂🤣🤣 I got it
When you think about it Preston is technically always beside himself when Brandon and Sweet Robin are on screen
King's Landing importing food from Essos makes sense considering Rome depended on food imports from Tunisia and Africa, thought in this context, The Reach probably produces more food than Essos combined so it doesn't make sense.
Yes but you can't transport that amount of food on land ,
@@PortaTerzo but unlike rome, westeros does not control essos
Rome depended mostly on food imported from Egypt, because the elites bought up all the food land and used it for their cattle, vineyards, etc rather than planting grain, and because the population of the city itself increased due to a lot of migration from the hinterlands and because those within the city were guaranteed a dole of free grain subsidized by Caesar.
I don't think King's Landing would get much food from Essos, but it probably got a lot of its food from the Vale. The Reach produces the most food, but the Vale produces the second most as the Vale of Arryn proper (not including the mountains that make up most of the kingdom of the Mountains and the Vale) is the most fertile land on the continent. It is far more productive on an acre by acre basis, transporting food by ships on the Narrow Sea is probably more efficient. Still, the Reach should have plenty of food they could cart to the city along the Rose Road too.
@@magister343 How does the Vale producing second most food after the Reach? You'd think Riverlands and even the Stormlands would produce shit ton.
The food shortage is artificial. We hear in an earlier episode that the rich have been hoarding food, just like how during covid times there was plenty of toilet paper but some idiots decided they needed to buy 60 packs, leading to empty shelves.
Still waiting for our S02E02 watch Preston....
When I'm rewatching the playlist some random night 20 years from now, you expect me to just jump from episode 1 to episode 3?
Thank you for these videos. These make my week- your humor's great! The story of Chad Summerchild never ceases to kill me.
6:26 Peak poetry from Preston😂
It's a fourth night, not a fortnight. as in, a fourth of a night
Oh, well. That makes more sense
what hour is that? the wolf or the frog?
It’s the hour of the lampshade.
Nobody clocked that Jace said the Lannister is marching west? Shouldn’t he be marching EAST? From the westerlands to the the Riverlands
Maybe he meant Ser Tyland Lannister.
King's Landing is pretty big, I can accept that it need to transport grain by ship (from Westros or beyond) to keep up demand, like Rome did. You don't have to completely cut off food supply for things to start getting bad.
I personally never thought that parading dragon head happened right after the battle. To me it made sense that they rushed to capital, so got there much faster than they left. Say within a week. Aegon having "critical hours ahead of him" was pretty weird. In my head it was like "He barely made it here [over X time], we gotta hurry". This also allows for all the information about the event to reach everyone in the Kingdoms.
P.S. As someone who really enjoyed season one, but only watched each episode once 2 years ago, I totally forgot about Daemon being concerned with riderless dragons. Now Im angry, thanks.
and really to be fair, the whole part about Daemon going to sing to Vermithor and the idea of more dragonriders was mostly a thing Daemon said to Rhaenyra even though there were other people in the room. most of them could have it slip their mind, and Rhaenyra could just not think as much about it or forget he said it after Lucerys died. not the strongest excuse but, could be
The smoke does not come out of the head if you look closer but from a hole in the carriage. It is likely because they wanna repel flies.
I think you’re just spotting how they did the effect
@@PrestonJacobstheSweetrobin I think you might be wrong on that one, watching it back, there is a shot clearly focussing on the incense bowls
That being said, I don't think the incense is about the smell but it's supposed to create the effect of the head smoking. Not as in the showrunners want us to believe the head is smoking but in that the Greens want the smallfolk to believe the head is still smoking
THANK YOU!
Finally someone speak about the Reach and the fact that Kings Landing stay right on they side.
Oh Shit, I just realized, Simon Strong does not acknowledge Alys Rivers, Its more of a "What is Lord Daemon looking at?" type of glance
Is Ser Simon a phantom too?
It's all getting very confusing.
I thought they might kidnap the Braken guy's son or something. The bracken in the main story has a favorite daughter
We need Preston in HotD's storyboard and writers room, please!!!
Corlys offered Baela Driftmark, not Dragonstone
lol I could watch these if they were 40min long
This was savage and absolutely excellent! this show has been great and other videos I have watched about it have not analyzed these things from such an enlightened view
6:58 My guess why there is little food in the city is not that there isn't food in the crownlands and adjacent regions - due to blockade, the Crown doesn't have enough money to buy that food and merchants in the city don't have gold to import it.
That ship blocking the food stand was hilarious. Not to say that all the callouts of the absurd were not as funny.
When I watched the scene in KL with Meleys my inner monologue was Brandon talking shit about the time cuz how n TF did they get back so fast 😂 10/10 this did not let me down🙌
Such potential and just making silly plot mistakes it’s a shame
After this episode I honestly think they don't have a map of Westeros in the writers' room
Ok this is defo one of my favourite Preston watch episodes
I honestly have to assume that the Rooks Rest Maester looked over Aegon, patched him up the best he could and said "this is all I can do, he needs to go to a level 1 burn unit", and the level 1 burn unit is just Kings Landing, I guess, weeks away? Cause you know, he would be in the box for pretty much all of those, generously, 7 days at least, which would fucking suck for Aegon, did they have a maester go in the ambulance box with him to give him milk of the poppy?
Or did Aemond tell them "only Maester Orwyl can touch him" hoping he'd die on the week's ride home?
@@chemputer Honestly wouldn’t be surprising if Aemond made sure he only got minimal treatment on the way back. They hadn’t even set his broken bones before he arrived.
Corlys offers Driftmark to Baela, not Dragonstone 😂
I lost it at the everyone died part lol
I thought that too, it’s roughly 300 miles to rooks rest according to Iceandfire blog so they would have to ride horses at full speed for 10 hours straight. That’s possible but that slow ass wagon isn’t moving 300 miles in 10 hours. This scene kind of made me shake my head
It is indeed insane that Aegon isn't being treated by a Riverland maester.
The only possible handwave is that Aemond ordered him to be brought back in the hope that the journey would kill him.
Glad I am not the ony one who thought Daemon ordering the Blackwood to "persuade" the Bracken ment something sexual. Finally me and Chad see eye too eye
The "Blood and Fire" thing is funny, I got this wrong at a trivia contest, when it's backwards like that it's the Salvation Army motto.
"Blood and Fire" is supposed to be the name of the sequel of Fire and Blood.
It would not surprise me if it were the Words of House Blackfyre, reversed just like the colors on their arms.
House Blackfyre is descended from Vaemond Velaryon as well as from Daemon and Rhaenyra Targaryen.
Jace is too dope
Very sad column at 6:33
Haha, thanks for that
please never stop making these preston, just rewatched the got ones and they are goated
i guess Rhaenyra never believed her sons to be bastards, which is fair, but then why is she bending backwards not to acknowledge dragonseeds? every scene in this episode is bad, except Baela’s badass monologue
I think that's why.
Bastardy is a sensitive topic for her.
If Daemon had stuck around he would presumably have sorted this out earlier.
Oh well!
Good that MVP Jace has stepped up.
I think the smoke coming up from the dragon head are from burners attached to the wagon?
I think that’s what was used to create the effect.
@@PrestonJacobstheSweetrobinno it’s supposed to be incense
@@indanhe
My hand wave was road dust.
But incense makes more (err) sense.
Lmfao 😂😂😂😂
This is the best breakdown yet! As much as I’m enjoying watching questions always pop up as to how things are happening the way they are.
Great breakdown
The Watch videos are the best part of new HOTD episodes 🙌
So, about the food geography: Bringing in food by land has a limited range because everything that can bring food by land eats food. A half a million people city like King's Landing may very well depend on food shipments by sea. Rome at its height got its food from North Africa, maybe King's Landing gets it from the Reach via the Narrow Sea (which would explain why pirates at the Stepstones were such a priority problem in Season 1).
You spoil us ! Thanks Preston!
Yay! Season 2 Episode 2? Please?
Should have read the comments before posting mine, but at least we are in agreement
8:49 honestly, with the way she's been portrayed so far by Gayle Rankin, I could 100% believe either and/or both that Alys Rivers is actually a barn owl and only Daemon sees her "in human form" like Bran's visions of the 3 Eyed Raven... or, alternatively, that Alys Rivers is a silly weirdo who tremendously enjoys crouching down and tiptoeing behind Simon Strong to hide from him like a Scooby-Doo character, just for fun
The plot with the food crisis could have been fixed if it was caused by the mismanagement of Aegon 2's council instead of the blockade. They could have mentioned that the food is being sent to the front to feed the soldiers and since winter is coming, they need to keep as much food in reserves as possible.
The Blackwood's actions being shocking is kinda weird because it all sounds... pretty much like standard pre-modern warfare. Robbing peasents was how you fed a army until the steam train was invented. And hostage taking is just... how it goes in the Middle Ages and in Westros. One of the first characthers we meet in Game of Thrones, Theon, is a hostage.
lmao that ending was gold
King's Landing getting food via naval supply makes sense, given how much more efficient ships are compared to wagons pulled by animals who need to eat grain themselves (even if you get small horses that can get by with only grass, the grass near the roads is limited and they can't pull as hard). For most of the realm, sending the food to King's Landing by ship makes more sense than sending it by land. We have trucks and trains and planes, and ships are still the most efficient transport method by a country mile.
But now that the blockade is in place, all the transporting has to shift to land routes which leads to overloaded logistics networks. So it's quite possible that food transports are stuck kind of near King's Landing. If you're about to starve, going towards the food to save time makes sense, and in the city it might be sold out before you can get any. If only the show had actually explained it a bit more.
Doesn't the Reach supply most of the food? Or the food from the crownlands could feed king's landing.
@@compositeur8455 Yes, but even for a lot of that food sea transport is probably the default. It's just so much more efficient.
okay here all these complaints are valid, It didn't break my immersion personally and I can think of some explanations for these hitches, but it woudl be some very simple rewriting to put them into the episode as exposition...well I'll go and name them off anyway,
1. either the Maester did send off a raven as rooks rest was being captured (the main body of the castle was destroyed but the tallest twoer was intact that is the most logical place for the ravenry to be) or elese Baela was sent out when Rhaenys mission was taking alarmingly long and saw the beheaded dragon on the castle ruins and flew back to tell Rhaenyra who sent a raven to Corlys on that note...
2. The army could be very quickly shadowed by a ship (even the royal barge that got so much screen time in season 1 and they probably still have the set and cgi rendering for) and Criston coudl have loaded Meleys head along with Aegon in a box for a swift but not instantaneous sail back to the Capitol under guard of Vhaegar where an escort party was arranged for their ticker-tape parade
3. Yeah there's no explaining the small folks reactoin to Meleys, well I mean there is as they woudl reasonably see it as a portent of a war of dragons being brought to their home town, a lot of them do mention how Rhaenyra will want to answer for this, but there's no explaining the authors intent that they were sad because they loved Meleys, that dragon-floor-explosion scene is just cancer, a mistake made in a fit of passion and lacking in oversight that keeps cascading to ruin future scenes
4. Jace wanting to secure the crossing does make sense to get the Starks on the west bank to check the Lannister Army that is very leisurly making its way across the Red Fork to take Harrenhal (maybe they're buildling lots of barges) Jace does explain this later but there has been a real loose usage of the term "Riverlands" so far, its mostly being used to describe the particular area that lies between the red fork and the gods eye not so much the Trident
5. The starvation in the captial does make sense if you consider the geopolitical situation, at least as it was establsiehd in the books at this point, Daemon has a stranglehold on the Northern Kingsroad from Harrenhal while the Reach's bounty is being cut off along the Rose Road by Bitterbridge which decalred for Rhaenyra after Lord Casewell as beheaded, or hanged in the show, also the capitol does rely heavily on the breadbasket around the flatlands for a lot of their food as seaborn traffic is a lot more efficient. The small folk are trying to make for Tumbleton which can still be getting shipments of food from along the Mander past Bitter Bridge.
6. I think that Simon was shot as if he could be looking at whatever he saw Daemon looking at before refocusing, but no I think she is a physical something or other being heavily glamoured not some Weirwood aparation
7. Baela was talking about his exploration of the Summer Seas on one of his Nine Voyages not the war in the step stones
8. The River Lords gathered at one castle, likely Darry, agreed on standing up to Daemon with one voice, and then road to Harrenhal as soon as they were a full compliment to wake him in the wee hours of the morning. They are more confident in standing up to him as a unit and that can't be done by a raven it needs to be in person to make the statement they want. They are upset particuarly by the sacrilige the Blackwoods comitted in burning down septs, also the greater part of the women and children taken would belong to knights and lords to use as hostages for their compliance but this made the other Highborn of the Riverlands protest in solidarity it didn't necessarily come down to symapthy for the small folk (whose well being the Lords do care for to an extent for pragmatic reasons, guaranteeing their safety is essential to the feudal contract and an outbreak of brigandage in the kingdom would put the peasants in a tizzy, as a group they did have some leverage over their lords especially on the cusp of winter as the harvest is being brought in)
9. The riderless dragons being mentioned in the last season finale where mentioned with the idea that Rhaena might be able to claim one of them, the camera clearly pans over to her to indicate this in that scene. That's why Daemon approached Vermithor with a song, to get him accostomed to human company so that he could then bring his daughter down to give it a shot. They do mention Rhaena trying and failing to claim one in this scene which is something I would like to have seen as its so vital to her arc in this show. Daemon might also have been hinting at trying to seek out Laenor when he mentioned Seasmoke, not sure how they would pull that off unless they did the whole Laenor is show-Addam posing as his own bastard but the show didn't go that route. It does still make sense though that taking the step from exposing family members to danger by claimng a dragon to allowing practical strangers to cliam dragons fills them with trepidation.
All of these things though could be expressed with very simple and illuminating throw away lines, or full blown new scenes that would be well worth the budget I'd say, and were'nt so I have to admit it is a flaw with the writing...I'll give it a 7/10
I appreciate you so much, dude. Thanks for taking time out of your life to entertain us dingdongs.
I thought it was silly when the Archmaester said to Alicent "the next few hours are critical " as if the battle was right outside the Red Keep.
Preston, please make SuaveRobin from the future a reoccurring character
Do the writers of the show think that Meles bursting through the floor killed people? They certainly don't seem like they thought people would have that takeaway from the show, regardless of how the scene was directed.
I think Sarah Hess said "it's Game of Thrones, peasants don't matter" or something along those lines
I'm fairly sure that the commoners are not all dragon history buffs. Few would remember Balerion's death, and dying of old age is not the same as being killed. As for Arrax, the government's official stance could be that he disappeared after Luke crashed him in a storm. The crowd's reaction to seeing the very embodiment of their rulers' power destroyed is among the few things I didn't have an issue with in this episode.
No one sucks the fun out of a TV show like Preston !
As long as they can have a cool scene with a dragon head, nothing else matters. High school writing.
Like the giant wight polar bear beyond the wall
When you heard Symon Strong says "the army had been out for a fortnight" what he actually said was "the army had been out for a Fortnite", that is a for one match of a critically acclaimed 2017 video game "Fortnite" by Epic Games Studio. Most matches in this game take about 20-30 minutes, so it's no wonder that Meleys' head is still smoking.
Alys saying it’s too bad Daemond didn’t know his mother seemed to imply that she knew her, and is very old.
Oh yeah!
She's another Melisandre.
Assuming she isn't a phantom.
@@alanpennie I don’t think she is a ghost, because otherwise there would surely be another maester. But it is weird that they never have anyone interact with her, at least Simon.
she was a barn owl back then
@@nononono3421
They definitely need to clear up whether anyone except Daemon can see her.
Travel time accuracy is soooo bad! 😂😂
I just can't over how Aegon looks like he got burned on the wrong side.
Like am I wrong? Or was the side that Aemond and Vhaegar cook his right and all the burns are on his left?
watching this on acid was really something 😅
I was really waiting for "WHAT'S IN THE BOX?"
I miss Season 1 Reference Guy.
Yes. Yes he did 5:12
Another thing I don't understand about the scene of the Riverlords coming to Daemon at night is... How is it the middle of the night??
If they were marching and it was getting dark, they'd have to stop, make camp, and continue at first light. How are they goading their horses to make it over the rocky terrain in darkness, talk to Daemon for 5 minutes and then immediately LEAVE in the middle of the night?!?
Famine in KL makes less sense as the one during Wo5K is due to Stannis' blockade + Riverlands, North, Vale, Reach and Stormlands not providing resources to Crownlands as Lannisters are surrounded by enemies or neutrals. Greens aren't cut off from Riverlands, the Reach and Stormlands. All of south is there to bring food if needed.
Food Food Food ......Squishers 😂
Brilliant as always. I wish HBO hired you to write an actual parody TV show complete with all your characters.
The blockade joke at the end was just top notch.
HOUSE BRACKEN NUMBER 1
Since the Merryweathers and the Caswells were team blacks (and they were shown in season 1 refusing bending the knee), they could have added a line about them blocking the rose road and that what was stopping the food from going to King's Landing... anyway, great video !
Thank you Chad for answering my question about the food in kings landing
This blockade is really getting me down 😢
First 4 episodes of S2 had Got Season 5 vibes. This has GoT Season 6 vibes.
Melys' head rode on a magic carpet ride with Cheech and Chong. That's why she's Still Smokin'.
Dragons are made of fire tho... People burned from the blood maybe IDK
I think the naval blockade make sense as transporting goods by sea is way more efficient than by land. Delivering goods by land is extremely expensive in this world. And for the people to get hungry, it's enough to blockade some of the food, even if they do more transport by land now to compensate the loss of sea travel, it's not nearly enough.
9:35 - slight mistake by our author. He offers driftmark not dragonstone.
