Seth Meyers and Leslie Jones watched Game of Thrones. Their play-by-play is pretty great.

While the most recent installment of Game of Thrones, "Battle of the Bastards," was divisive, it’s exactly the type of TV episode that’s fun to discuss and debate with your friends.

With that in mind, Seth Meyers invited prolific Game of Thrones live-tweeter, Ghostbuster, and Saturday Night Live stalwart Leslie Jones to Late Night to watch the episode and get her commentary.

"I love you, Rickon," Jones says, watching the pivotal moment where Ramsay Bolton challenges the youngest Stark to run to safety and then shoots an arrow into his back. "But you need to zigzag, motherfucker. … Dive on the ground, don’t just let him shoot the arrow in you!"

"Serpentine." Meyers says.

"Serpentine! That’s what I’m saying," Jones agrees. Then: "What’s ‘serpentine?’ Is that a white game?"

Watching Meyers and Jones watch "Battle of the Bastards" hits a weird sweet spot between nerding out and stream-of-consciousness cussing. The two share an awkward, entertaining dynamic, with Jones not even flinching at the violence and Meyers stressing out (or just acting like he’s stressed out).

There are also moments that feel not unlike watching Game of Thrones at home with friends.

"A muddy Jon Snow shows up to your apartment — you do not send him away?" Meyers asks Jones.

"I do not send him away, but he does not get into the bed," she replies. "I got real nice sheets; he can’t mess them up. But we could do it on the floor, for sure."

May the Lord of the Light smile upon Leslie Jones.

The season finale of Game of Thrones airs Sunday, June 26, at 9 pm on HBO.

Will you support Vox’s explanatory journalism?

Most news outlets make their money through advertising or subscriptions. But when it comes to what we’re trying to do at Vox, there are a couple of big issues with relying on ads and subscriptions to keep the lights on:

First, advertising dollars go up and down with the economy. We often only know a few months out what our advertising revenue will be, which makes it hard to plan ahead.

Second, we’re not in the subscriptions business. Vox is here to help everyone understand the complex issues shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. And we can’t do that if we have a paywall.

So even though advertising is still our biggest source of revenue, we also seek grants and reader support. (And no matter how our work is funded, we have strict guidelines on editorial independence.)

If you also believe that everyone deserves access to trusted high-quality information, will you make a gift to Vox today? Any amount helps.
