Watching You Watch | Useful NPCs

As the war proceeds, plans get desperate and the stakes get higher. Still after all of this, people still want Harrenhall. Note to self: if someone promises you Harrenhal, back out of that deal -- it will not end well.

A jampacked episode pushes Zach's ability to recap as we meet some new characters a learn a bombshell about another one. Stark of the Week: RobbWinner of the Crown: Olenna Tyrell Song Credit: Rains of Castamere - Syna vs. Malukah- https://soundcloud.com/tonikoo/syna-vs-malukah-the-rains-of

Episode 3 of season 3 finds Zach dealing with fracturing loyalties and shifting times. Luckily there are good friends around still, like Podrick... who also happens to be a sex god.

In Season 3 Episode 2, Zach meets Lady Olenna and instantly loves Sassy Grandma. Seeing the Tyrells in actions certainly tips the scales in their favor for who will win the crown, at least in Zach's eyes.

Zach braves the Battle of the Blackwater in S2E9 of Game of Thrones, and even though the battles done, and the Lannister kinda won, he can't escape that feeling of dread. Luckily some new found respect for the Hound and Sansa make for a nice silver lining. Stark of the Week: SansaWinner of the Crown: Tywin Lannister

Zach has finally learned that good feels are a warning of the bad stuff to come.  For now, he looks forward to the siege of Kings Landing, which can only go well right?
