About a week after the series finale of Game of Thrones, the dust started to settle on the ending we were given, and the conclusion we all hoped for. Much of this afterthought is decidedly different than the initial reactions on the last podcast and predominantly plagued with disappointment.

Game of Thrones Podcast Season 8, Episode 4
Stimulated Boredom | Reviews. Gadgets. Gaming. Geek Culture. Podcast.
The story of the Great War will be kept alive in memory for generations to come, and so will the legend of Cersei’s ruthlessness and brutality. It’s about the only thing we can count on in the game of thrones. And as Dany continues to take egregious losses, that Targaryen wildfire is on the precipice of igniting.

Game of Thrones, Season 8, Episode 3: The Long Night
Stimulated Boredom | Reviews. Gadgets. Gaming. Geek Culture. Podcast.
The longest part of The Long Night was that panic-inducing, nail-biting, palm-sweating, 14-minute opening scene until the Army of the Dead extinguished the Dothraki in UNDER. A. MINUTE.

Game of Thrones Podcast: Season 7, Episode 5, “Beyond the Wall”
Stimulated Boredom | Reviews. Gadgets. Gaming. Geek Culture. Podcast.
On this week's 'Game of Thrones' discussion: Two living Targaryens. Two sad Dragons. Two damaged Starks. Two blue eyes. One Night King. One episode remains.
info_outlineWarning: This podcast contains spoilers for the Game of Thrones episode, “Blood of my Blood.”
For a Game of Thrones episode titled “Blood of My Blood,” there was surprisingly little blood.
We saw the return of Benjen Stark (aka: Cold Hands), and caught a glimpse of the Mad King’s death. We also witnessed some sneaky political maneuvers by the High Sparrow, who seemingly check-mated the Lannisters and Tyrells.
Arya Stark remembers her name – and where she buried her sword, Needle; and we meet Samwell Tarly’s dad, who won’t be winning any “Father of the Year” awards anytime soon.
“Oh, and have you met my dragon?” – Daenerys to the Dothraki
“Blood Of My Blood” represents a number of turning points for the season – especially for Dany and Bran – as we begin to step into new and uncharted territory for the series.
The Game of Thrones podcast crew of Dana, Vanessa and Peter dig deep into the fan theories that turned out to be true, and speculate about where the remainder of Season 6 is heading.
However, we all agree that it was yet another great episode this season, and (thankfully) not as traumatic as last week’s.
Also Discussed:
- We’re reminded that Walder Frey is still alive and needs to be killed, violently
- Edmure is also alive and being used as a pawn…but to what end?
- Jaime and Brienne are headed to the Riverlands – and Vanessa is positively giddy over the prospect of Lady Stoneheart’s possible arrival onto the show
- Sam grows a pair and steals a Valyrian steel blade from his prick of a father
- Arya is seemingly out of that spooky death cult and is, hopefully, going to make her way back to Westeros with her list of names and trusty Needle in hand
