Where Does 'Widow's Bay' Go From Here?

Welcome to Adam and welcome to Donovan.

Probably a lot of listeners are reveling in that first episode of House of the Dragon right now, but we'll be a week behind if we decide to give it conversation.

Lucky bastards.

[laughs] We record on Sunday.

We'll watch it soon enough.

Donovan, you were a pretty big fan of the last season.

I actually was, while feeling s- like kind of ambivalent about the first season.

Yeah.

Two-year break makes it like, "Am I gonna jump back into this?"

Mm-hmm.

But I felt like the second season was big, did a lot of things that were fun, and frankly, if you just give me an episode that thrills the shit out of me, like the, the big dragon battle episode-

Oh, not Daemon walking around an empty castle?

[laughs] They never would show full frontal, so that kind of-

[laughs]

... kind of lost some points there for me.

N- although I do actually l- I think that, like, Matt Smith came more into his own.

I like all the actors.

I like the-

I, I do

...

I like the actors that play Aemond, a- or Aemond and, uh, the other one, the, you know, the boys.

So I think there's some good, there's some good stuff going on there.

I'm ex- I'm excited for this season.

I could be setting myself up for disappointment, but I like seeing peasants get roasted.

[laughs] I, I thought what won you over was the bros coming into the dragon cave and attempting to hop on one.
