Welcome to Take the Black Live, the show where we preview the next highly anticipated episode of Game of Thrones! If you’re looking for the show where we break down the most recent episode of Game of Thrones, that’s Take the Black React. We’re just drowning in video content these days. Watch us above!

We hit a bunch of topics today, including:

  • So is Daenerys going to become the Mad Queen or what, and how do we feel about it? What’s the difference between “mad” and “crazy”? Is there a double standard being applied to her? Do we feel her pain right now?
  • We go through some of the advance photos from the next episode. You know we’re going down the rabbit role when we start analyzing Dany’s hair.
  • Varys is giving off serious “I’m going to die” vibes.
  • Once again, George R.R. Martin has spoiled HBO’s plans (we assume) and revealed information about the upcoming Game of Thrones prequel show. And yes, that’s still “shows,” plural, apparently.
  • In non-Game of Thrones news, Disney has revealed its slate of movies through freaking 2027. From Star Wars to Avatar to the MCU, there’s a lot on the way.

And then we circle back to Thrones and talk about the ethics of Sansa leaking Jon’s secret. But what about JON leaking Jon’s secret, huh?
