In this episode of Thrones Be the Game, crew break down "The Squire," the third installment of the HBO series A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. The crew discusses the growing bond between Duncan the Tall and his squire, Egg, noting how the show uses Egg’s royal background to provide natural world-building and exposition. The conversation covers the brutality of Aerion Targaryen at the Ashford tournament, the significance of the "Hammer and the Anvil" song, and the mysterious prophecy regarding Egg’s future as a king. The team also shares their thoughts on the series' pacing, the relatable nature of a "hedge knight" protagonist, and their expectations for the upcoming Trial of Seven.

The crew is back for another round of Thrones Be The Game to break down Episode 2 of the new HBO prequel, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. We jump right into the fire by revisiting the "attractiveness" debate from last week. Jen shares her "further review" of the lead actor's looks and whether the general audience agrees with her initial skepticism—leading to a hilarious deep dive into the show's casting and "exit poll" demographics.

Beyond the visuals, the panel tackles the episode's oddly specific title, "Hard Salt Beef," and how this chapter moves the needle for Dunk and Egg. We discuss the pacing, the grit, and the character development that makes this series feel like a return to form for the George R.R. Martin universe.

Thrones Be The Game is back where they discuss all things Game Of Thrones. The Game of Thrones universe is officially back, and the crew is breaking down the series premiere of the latest spinoff, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. In this episode, we dive into the journey of Dunk, a young squire who finds himself thrust into the life of a hedge knight after the death of his master. We discuss the transition from the high-stakes political intrigue and dragon-filled battles of House of the Dragon to this more grounded, character-driven story based on the Dunk and Egg novellas. The team debates whether HBO’s shift to a smaller-scale production was a creative choice or a result of recent budget cuts and mergers, noting the noticeably different "aesthetic" of this new series compared to the original Thrones era.
