The Blackwater and the Bells - Game of Thrones Season 2, Episode 9

Hold onto your swords, because in this episode Andrea and Amanda are reviewing Season 2, Episode 9—aka The Battle of Blackwater! Stannis Baratheon finally makes his long-awaited move on King’s Landing, and let’s just say it’s a disaster (for him). From the strategic genius of Tyrion Lannister to the sheer chaos of wildfire explosions, we break down the most explosive episode of the season.

We discuss Tyrion's last-minute preparations, the game-changing wildfire, and why Cersei’s drinking habits might be the only thing keeping her sane. Meanwhile, Stannis's attack turns into a mess of poor planning and bad choices, while the Lannisters—who are winning but still somehow losing—prove that in Westeros, survival is just about who’s left standing (and if they’re sober enough to rule).

Oh, and let’s not forget the priceless moment when Cersei tries to "protect" her child in the most questionable way possible. It’s all fire, fury, and one very bad night for Stannis.

Tune in for a play-by-play of fireballs, betrayal, and Tyrion’s unmatched ability to turn a near-defeat into a complete win (because, let's face it, he’s the real MVP).
