This piece was written during the 2023 WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. Without the labor of the writers and actors currently on strike, the TV series being covered here wouldn’t exist.
What if George R. R. Martin’s Fire and Blood was written more like HBO’s House of the Dragon? Caroline and Gretchen analyze Martin’s work from this perspective and search for hidden stories in the text.
TRIGGER WARNING EPISODE – Caroline and Gretchen continue their analysis of Fire & Blood with the ninth chapter, Birth, Death, and Betrayal Under King Jaehaerys I Part 2. When the High Septon dies, Jaehaerys and Alysanne take a convenient trip to Oldtown to mourn him (with their dragons!) while some plot-relevant eggs disappear on Dragonstone. And the patriarchy is very bad to Alyssa!
TRIGGER WARNING for discussion about traumatic childbirth, infant mortality, birth mortality, and forms of surgery surrounding said topics. Discussion begins at 51:30 and ends at 1:45:00.
