Did you see what they did the House of Dragons? Oh, I bailed on that last week How's the dragon put all new actors in? That's when I bailed. Oh, yeah. What are you doing? And they were and the only compelling actor on the show was the daughter What are you doing? Yeah, what are you doing? So stupid. You could have just made her look older Yeah, you fucking idiot. First of all, she looked like a 25 year old actress playing a 15 year old actress It would not have been a stretch and she's supposed to look 35 right in the next one It's like 10 years later. Yeah, that's not hard to do. No, you could do that. Yeah Why did you do that? It's crazy. They kept some actors So they kept some and they look exactly the same. Yeah, and then they just replace people and they said oh But we cast the first people first and then they always knew the second the other the people got replaced always knew they were gonna be That's still a terrible idea. Yeah, that idea sucks and it's not enough dragon. I want to see dragons I want to see them fighting. I want to see them torch and shit up. They occasionally use the dragon. Yeah It's very occasional threatened with a dragon a little bit, but nothing happens. Yeah, but it's also like this they had me until they changed actors and You know, my wife was like fuck this like what the fuck they just do to me like what did they just do? Why did they replace the the Queen? But they kept the king they just made the king look older, but you got a whole new queen It took me like five minutes to realize that it what was going on. I was like, who is she? Oh, she's her Yeah, no, no, no, no. No, no why? Yeah, and the king I mean I look who am I to knock anybody's acting but like I don't find the king to be very Good Yeah, he's like I'm sure he's a good actor, but maybe he's not right for the part, but I'm don't I'm not excited about the King. Yeah It's not compelling no, but the changing of the actors was a giant cluster fuck of a mistake Yeah, like whoever greenlit that like where was the adult in the room? Yeah, is there another fucking way here? You've got people committed to these people for hours. Yeah and hours. They're committed to these particular characters Now you're asking this like you have to just accept that you have new actors. Yeah, so now I know it's all bullshit So now I mean when they did it with the crown at least they did it from season to season And I think they I think there was three different Queens. I never watched that it was good And I fucking hate the Royal Fane. I mean first of all, I can't believe I Just can't believe the Queen is dead. I feel like it was just yesterday that I couldn't believe she was alive yesterday all my Queens But I I'm not a fan of the Royal Family, but but that show is really fucking good Olivia Coleman is unbelievable I haven't watched it, but you know if you're gonna do it every season I guess as long as you I know you're gonna do it every season. Okay, right? Okay suspension of disbelief but not but it's season I Episode five. Yeah, what is it six? Whatever it is? Yeah, fuck out of here Why'd you do that? Like you could have made those people look old. It's not hard to do. Uh-huh. It's not impossible You have people who look like fucking dragons, right? You have white walkers. You have all this makeup Put some old people man. Yeah on that young girl. Change your voice a little bit Yep, fuck are you doing and but the night is still the same? Mm-hmm Get the same night. He looks exactly the same age. Like what are you doing? And then they've also got Because of the time the men are all dressed the same and they all have black Kind of wavy long hair. Yeah, and so you can't tell is that that guy right? There's that the other guy and now all sudden you're replacing him. So now I got to make that adjustment, right? Fuck that fuck that Here's another point. There's another real problem This is a prequel to Game of Thrones. Mm-hmm There's black people in the prequel They're all gone later they're all gone later. Yeah, so what happened? Yeah, there's zero black people in Game of Thrones How many black people are in Game of Thrones? I can't remember any But there's quite a few in House of Dragon there's a lot so what's going on Yeah You went through how many seasons with no black people in Game of Thrones and in the prequel they're in every episode Yeah, where they say my land. It's the same island. They go And why do they all have white hair? I don't understand Can we just have black people that giving them white hair? Why did you do that? Well, there was some black people in Game of Thrones weren't there? There were certainly the those eunuchs the slaves right? There was those those guys Remember those guys that like fought for her. Oh, yeah, but they're eunuchs. Yeah And then there was certainly places that people went that had people of color But they didn't have royal family like in this movie. It's royal family. Yeah, it's like the Targaryens or the Lannisters or whatever What the fuck man? Hmm Crazy changing actors mid-show is so bunkers. Yeah, it's just such a bunkers idea and they just said okay This is how we're gonna handle it. Yeah You just fuck people's heads up. Yeah You're trying it You're trying to hook people into a show and just as you build the character and get them excited about them and she was good I like the young the young queen right was great and also like Her uncle the guy who molested her. Yeah, spoiler alert. He's still around. Yeah, he's still around and he's the same Doesn't look any older But she's like this totally different lady now. He's in the crown. He plays Prince Philip in the crown. Yeah
