This week on Take the Black, we get more hints about the House of the Dragon release date, review DMZ on HBO Max, and break down the new Halo series!

Another week, another new episode of Take the Black, the show where we boldly go where many people have gone before and talk about nerdy TV shows on the internet. This time, we start off with news of yet another new Game of Thrones-adjacent book coming out in the near future, which could hint at the release date of House of the Dragon. Then we get into our impressions of the first two episodes of the new Halo show on Paramount+; fast-forward to the 17:30 mark to hear that.

We also talk about some of the other stuff we’re watching, including DMZ on HBO Max, the end of Raised by Wolves, and more. And we cap things off with another WiC News Lightning Round!
