This week on Take the Black, we discuss the new set leaks from House of the Dragon, check in on The Walking Dead’s final season, and talk through the Hawkeye trailer.

Welcome to Take the Black, the chat show where we bring you the latest and greatest news from the realms of sci-fi, fantasy, movies, TV and what-have-you. This week, we welcome special guest and WiC writer extraordinaire Sarabeth Pollock onto the show to lend us some of her Walking Dead expertise: how is the final season going? Can the show end in a way that will please all the fans? And where does the franchise go from here?

We also talk about the latest leaks from the set of House of the Dragon. Skip to 26:33 to see that part.

And there are more House of the Dragon leaks coming all the time. Since we recorded this, we’ve gotten looks at Milly Alcock and Theo Nate in costume as young Rhaenyra Targaryen and Laenor Velaryon respectively. And there have been more since then! House Celtigar has entered the building. There are seaside war meetings. It’s all happening!

We also go over some of the Met Gala looks sported by the Game of Thrones cast members, talk through the trailer for Hawkeye on Disney+, and more. This was a busy one!
