Hey Guys! Great podcast. Agree with almost all the points made.
I am really thrilled with the casting of both Dunk and Egg.
Like Dunk though I agonize… What do you think the story ramifications will be the story ramifications the great scene with Lyonel and Dunk. If I was not familiar with the story, I would assume they being mates would mean that Lyonel would vouch for him. It also has some effect on the Trial.
I am very curious about how show only people will react and if the show will be successful.
Maybe Kyle can speak on this having seen Episode 2. Unfortunately, I think the gross out humor maybe a feature for the show runners and not a bug as I hear there might be something worse than the #SevereGastrointestinalDistress coming in 2.
I do think the series might be better as a binge instead of 30 minutes a week.
Do you think we will get the next Dunk & Egg or TWoW first/ever.
Looking forward to hearing you all fancasting Ser Bennis!

It was awesome hearing your review of the first episode. I’m excited to get regular episodes from you guys for a couple months. I thought the Frank Herbert part of the GRRM article was rather sad. I agree with Amin and hope that George is able to work on creating anything he’s passionate about and interested in working on even if it isn’t TWOW.
