Elio's returned from Cáceres, City of Dragons, in Spain and joins Linda to discuss the finale further. At the end, they turn to the recently-released RISE OF THE DRAGON and discuss that a bit as well!
(A note: We had audio issues again, which we apologize for! As you may surmise as you watch the video, Lancelot the Hell-puppy caused a lot of disturbances -- he's injured his footpad and hasn't been able to run around for a few days as he's used to -- and suffice it to say we were distracted. Also, Elio brought back a stuffy nose from his travels, which sometimes affected things. Sorry!)
See westeros.org/Features/Entry/16699 for our exclusive one-on-one interview with co-creator, executive producer, and leader writer Ryan Condal.
