Welcome to another wild and wacky episode of Take the Black Podcast with House Razor, the Harry Strickland of Take the Black Live with House Selcke’s final season. This week, we dive into Game of Thrones Episode 805, “The Bells” and get into some heated but fun debates over the way the show’s eighth and final season has been playing out.

Our topics:

  • Daenerys turning into the Mad Queen felt forced and poorly written, but we still loved the destruction she brought along with her heel turn.
  • Peter Dinklage, Emilia Clarke, and Maisie Williams all deserve to be Emmy contenders for their performances this season, but Kit Harington and Lena Headey should be left out, and it’s not their fault. We explain why.
  • Was CLEGANEBOWL everything we hoped it would be?
  • Will Jon and Grey Worm have a duel to the death in the series finale?
  • We all agree this season could use more episodes to flesh out some of these character arcs.
  • With all the problems we did have with this episode, there were some great moments and we discuss those at length.

As is the case with every episode of Take the Black Podcast, we tend to lean very NSFW, so watch out for falling F-bombs. Also, Corey Smith experienced a fair amount of technical difficulties and if I edited it all out, we’d have like a 15-minute podcast…so just roll with it and laugh along as we make fun of his internet.

With that out of the way, enjoy the show:

We want to hear from you: Heading into the series finale of Game of Thrones this Sunday, are you happy with how things have gone these past two episodes? And please try to remember, we love this show as much as you do, which is why we get so passionate about it.
