So, once upon a time, there was this great new show called Game of Thrones. It started small, but quickly developed a mass following as it swept all before it with its amazing story-telling, impressive world-building, and surprising character fates.

 

But GoT eventually fell prey to the greedy machinations of its creators, and its last season sucked harder than the vacuum of space, so when a spin-off, prequel series was announced, the fans were dubious.   As a result, Paul and Wayne have bravely stepped into the maw of the dragon to review the first three episodes of this series chronicling the war among House Targaryen, and invite you to join them in deciding whether no Benioff and Weiss means a good show can be resurrected?   Find out as The Countdown continues ...   Time Stamps House of the Dragon NON-SPOILER Review: 0:00 - 12:36 House of the Dragon SPOILER-FILLED Discussion: 12:36 - 20:40

Final Thoughts Including Potential Spoilers: 29:05 - 29:42
