Welcome to a very special, very singular, kind of tipsy episode of Take the Black Live. It’s the last episode of the year, HBO sent us a bunch of Game of Thrones scotch, we’re watching the season 8 teaser trailer, and we’re enjoying ourselves. Roll the tape:
I know we should have broken down the trailer last week, but that show was cancelled thanks to technical difficulties, so here we are.

Our other topics include:
- The final script George R.R. Martin wrote for Game of Thrones differs from the final product in some fascinating ways. What does it say about the show, the books, and the relation between the two?
- We’re awash in merch this episode. We’ve got Game of Thrones scotch, we gave away a stocking and some pins, and we teased a giveaway for the 2019 A Song of Ice and Fire calendar, ongoing now!
- Disney sure is hiring some unexpected people to be in its high-profile live-action Star Wars series. Personally, I’m all about it.
We’ll be taking a week off Take the Black Live for the holidays, but we’ll be back on Wednesday, January 2, streaming live on the Winter is Coming Facebook page at 4:00 p.m. CST. Hope to see you there and have a happy holiday!
