Welcome to Take the Black Live, the show where we break down the latest and greatest in Game of Thrones and A Song of Ice and Fire news. This week: holy GOD Emilia Clarke has been giving a lot of interviews.

That’s to be expected, of course. She plays a lead character in Solo: A Star Wars Story, which is out in theaters as we speak, and she’s hit the press circuit hard to promote it. Along the way, she’s dropped more than a few hints about what will befall Daenerys Targaryen in the final season of Game of Thrones, and we’re all over them. We break it all down for you above.

Topics this week include:

  • Before the main event, Culturess’ Cheryl Wassenaar and I hit some season 8 filming news from Seville and Belfast. The production marches ever on.
  • Emilia Clarke has said some very interesting things about Game of Thrones season 8 lately, including tidbits about new scene partners, multiple endings, “weird shit,” and Dany’s final scene. We goggle it all up.
  • In non-Game of Thrones news, rumor has it that Amazon’s Lord of the Rings prequel series will be about a young Aragorn. How do we feel about that?
  • Finally, Con of Thrones is happening right now! If you’re there, say hi!

We stream Take the Black Live every Wednesday at 4:00 p.m. CST on our Facebook page. Hope to see you there on May 30!
