It’s time for another round of Take the Black Live, the show where we bring you all the fantasy and sci-fi news you need to know, insofar as you don’t need to know any of it, because it’s ultimately not as important as, say, oral hygiene or saving for your future.

But we still talk about it! Watch us above.

This week, we’re talking about the Game of Thrones episodes and professionals HBO submitted for consideration at the 71st Primetime Emmy Awards. What got put forward? What got snubbed?

Also on the docket is a frank discussion of George R.R. Martin’s new fondness for video games, and whether helping make one is a betrayal of millions of people. However people feel about it, I think we can all agree that he can make up for everything if he announces that The Winds of Winter is complete when and if he appears at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con, which is the pie-in-the-sky theory I have chosen to adopt, no doubt to my eventual sorrow.

All that and I talk about why you should be excited about His Dark Materials. They’re staffing up over there!
