    The friends are chatting about a television series. They discuss various characters from the show - the dragon looked impressive, Jaime didn't do anything surprising, Bronn almost died, Tyrion never does what is expected, and Cersei is no longer the woman's favorite character. The man thinks the story is well written but that the writers are running out of ideas for new stories now that they are no longer copying from the books. They debate how often the woman watches the show and how her opinion of it has changed over time.
