It’s May of Thrones, Part 2: Dracarys Boogaloo! This week we focus on Daenerys and her “sudden turn” in “The Bells.” We also spend some time discussing Jon and Sansa’s relationship in “Battle of the Bastards.” (Zig, Rickon, zig!)

It’s May of Thrones, Part 1! Yeah, we could talk Thrones all month long. But we’re doing it in two parts. In this first episode, we discuss highlights from what got us hooked on the series (hint: “The things I do….”), s1 e9 “Baelor,” Arya’s journey, expectations of book readers, HBO Max’s excellent listing of “the best of” by character (sorry, Bran!), s7 e1 “The Spoils of War,” some of our favorite quotes, and some other random favorite moments from the entire series.
