As intimidating as Wight Power can be, it can be burned to the icy ground. Episode 6 of our Game of Thrones podcast has Laura Hudson (Twitter: @laura_hudson) and Spencer Ackerman (Twitter: @attackerman) watching dragons become loose nukes and questioning whether Tyrion has gotten anything right since season 2. Also: a theory about Bran and the Night King that might be even stupider than Tyrion's schemes. Recorded August 20, 2017. Edited by Jesse Rhodes.
