In this edition of The Cast Beyond the Wall, hosts Caleb Masters and Daniel Stull return for an in-depth discussion with guests Brock Lay and Lacey covering the dragon ride heard, but apparently not seen, around the world in season 1 episode 7 of House of the Dragon, "Driftmark."
After the death of Laena, the Targaryen and Velaryon families gather together for the funeral and wake that followed. Boiling beneath the surface were the years of resentment that have festered between Rhaenyra and Alicent. It all comes to a head after Aemond claims Laena's dragon, Vhagar, and loses his eye in a brawl with his cousins.
Has House of the Dragon finally achieved its first Game of Thrones-tier feud?
Today’s podcast topics include:
- Our overall reviews of "Driftmark"
- Was this episode poorly lit?
- As the families draw battlelines, who should we be rooting for?
- The marriage of Rhaenyra and Daemon Targaryen
- What Aemond mounting Vhagar could mean for House Hightower
- The unclear rules related to the dragons
- This week's winner, loser, and wildcard player
According to the IMDB synopsis, “Driftmark” is described as:
"As the families gather on Driftmark for a funeral, Viserys calls for an end to the infighting and Alicent demands justice."

TCBtW #61 - The Lord of the Tides
After eight episodes, The Cast Beyond the Wall is back to cover King Viserys's swan song, "The Lord of the Tides." Hosts Caleb Masters and Daniel Stull are joined by first-time guest, Chad Parizman, to discuss whether the latest chapter does King Viserys Targaryen(Paddy Considine) justice.
After yet another time jump (six years in this instance), Vaemond Velaryon petitions against Lucerys Targaryen's claim as lord of Driftmark, calling them illegitimate children, after Corlys "the sea snake" Velaryon has grown deathly ill in the second war for the Stepstones. To defend their family's claim, Rhaenyra and Daemon travel to King's Landing to plead with Viserys on his deathbed. Meanwhile, Alicent and Otto Hightower plan to leverage the petition to bring Rhaenyra's entire position as heir into question.
Before his final day, King Viserys sees the division in the Targaryen house and makes one last attempt to bring the families together over dinner in hopes of making peace. Though a noble effort the resentment and bad blood run deep.
Does Viserys's last stand have any hope of reshaping the wars to come?
Today’s podcast topics include:
- Our overall reviews of "The Lord of the Tides"
- Whether or not Vaemond Velaryon's petition is warranted
- How Viserys's last hurrah of defending Rhaenyra's claim better positions Rhaenys and the Velaryons

- What made the last family dinner so impactful
- What Alicent will do with the king's dying words
- Our predictions for what's to come in the iconic Game of Thrones episode 9
- This week's winner, loser, and wildcard player
According to the IMDB synopsis, “The Lord of the Tides” is described as:
"Six years later. With the Driftmark succession suddenly critical, Rhaenyra attempts to strike a bargain with Rhaenys."
