I don’t want to wax too lyrically, but imagine you go to a nice Italian restaurant—maybe not the best, but you’ve heard it’s decent, and you’re craving a good carbonara. And you get kraft mac n cheese with edible glitter on it. That’s Wuthering Heights.
Didn’t have an answer when I saw this prompt this morning, but I’ll be damned if it isn’t Wuthering Heights (2026) after seeing that abomination this evening
I liked it, too! It was just long. And I would have rather seen more BATTLE because one night of poor sleep after this episode wasn’t enough 😆☠️
Ohhhh my bad 😬
(You probably have in previous coverage, but I haven’t listened to them all yet and want to hear respect on his name every time!)
Oh! And when you guys mentioned the lineup of heirs for the iron throne and the third son who’s at maester school…ahem! Don’t forget that is Maester Aemon!
- Dunk’s perspective was so entirely immersive and real that I actually forgot about the flashback business.
The flashback sequence was way too long. I wouldn’t have minded if it was 3-5 minutes long, but 19 minutes was overkill. I was also wondering what was happening in the rest of the battle! Let me see the Laughing Storm in action for goodness’ sake. But what we did see of the battle sequence from -

Good call.
Such a great moment!!

It was ROUGH
I have not been so destroyed by a thrones episode in…maybe ever.
I knew what was coming, and I still feel sick to my stomach. In the best way, of course.

The horses in the Dunk & Egg show are carrying so much emotional weight. I haven’t felt so sad about horses since A Neverending Story
I did not even process the question until after dunk replied 😂
I was thinking during this scene how I need to find a goose farmer! I bet those yolks are super rich and creamy
Best girl 😭
The exact feeling! After the second episode my husband and mom both commented on how lovable Dunk is, and I just puffed up with pride. Damn straight, my boy has a heart of gold.
