Game of Thrones Trilogy, Part 1: Oh my loins!

Send us a text

We leave the ballroom (for now) and venture into Westeros where we discuss the show that brought us together - Game of Thrones!  We had so much to say, we messed around and made a trilogy!  

INTRO - 32:31
As always, we kick off with things we liked.  Kristine celebrated the Nationals winning the World Series and Jocelyn applauded the magic of drag shows.  Support your local talent and tip the drag performers generously!  The Nationals played a double-header in the episode, as they were also the topic of discussion for what Kristine did not like because of their lack of solidarity with the Mystics (who were not extended an invitation to the White House, unlike their baseball counterparts).  Jocelyn revisited her gripes with two repeat offenders - Karamo Brown and people who disrespect the Emmett Till Memorial.   

32:32 - 38:09
We transition into our Game of Thrones discussion by briefly pondering what we would do if we had dragons.  As you would expect, our responses are very on brand.  

38:10 - END
We begin by sharing what drew us to Game of Thrones.  For Jocelyn, it was the shock of Ned losing his head.  For Kristine, it was all about her loins and the actions of a certain naughty lion.  

Next, we get into a few noteworthy show vs. book differences.  An exhaustive discussion of the differences would easily give us content through 2020, so we limited our chat to a few key differences - some we loved, some we did not.  We then move on to what we liked about the series as a whole.  No discussion of what we loved about the series would be complete without a celebration of the genius of Ramin Djawadi. Ramin got Kristine deep into her Stark feels and Jocelyn makes an interesting revelation about which song was her favorite to wake up to every day.  The episode, which is the first of our three-part discussion, closes with our thoughts on what we did not like about the series. We can love a thing and still have criticisms to share out of love! 

We drink, we know things, and we use adult language.
