It's just Mallory and Jason talking about the episodes. Sometimes they have some insight that I actually missed, plus Jason does voices sometimes (they're actually not bad). It's mainly just a lot of fun. They did the entire series leading up to season 7 and there were quite a few episodes that are hilarious.

I haven't had the time (or desire really) to go back and watch all the episodes so didn't really feel the need to listen to their breakdown of each episode. I've listed to the Talk the Thrones breakdown from back in their Grantland days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyco has made it abundantly clear that IBB will bet on who they think will win, not just give money blindly to whoever they have already given money to, and after Drogon's showing, I'd be willing to bet that the IBB bets on him/Dany It's very possible that word of this defeat doesn't even reach Braavos until the Golden Company is halfway across the sea heading towards KL. Took Dany and company a while before they found out about the Casterly Rock switcheroo... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE DUKE Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 (edited) I think Cersei laid out a good argument that with the Lannister's, the Iron Bank will always be repaid, but who knows what this Dragon queen will do. Why should she repay when she can just threaten to burn the Iron Bank to the ground with dragon fire? This is the daughter of the Mad King after all, and she already burned the slavers alive.

Beck Bristow Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 I'm assuming that the bank is telling Cersei what she wants to hear to make sure they get paid. Doesn't mean that they won't give future loans, but that will be decided later. Also, it's been awhile, but I feel like the golden company showed up much earlier in the books. Do we have a book thread anymore? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acgott Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 So who saves Jamie? He is too heavy for most men with all that armor on. Maybe a few Dorthaki, but I don't know if they can swim. Drogon is my guess. Hopefully he grabs onto the fake hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not because he and Jamie are friends, but because Bronn wants his money...and if Jamie and his sister won't pay up, Tyrian will pay to ensure his brothers' safety and give Dany a prisoner.
