Woohoo! Cam's latest novel / audio drama (Lemon Tarts in Space!) is available right now, right here! It's Episode 450, and the white walkers came back to celebrate. This action-packed chapter made us unusually reflective and contemplative. We're looking beyond the Wall only to find Dante's Purgatory looking back at us. The ranks of the narrative undead grow with every passing page. Arya, Benjen, Dany, and even the white walkers themselves have ascended into this messy and metaphysical realm. Cam thinks he's finally found the “moral of the story” (if there is one). Maggie examines the unexpected virtue of children's perspectives in an increasingly cruel world.

Je vous invite cette semaine à réfléchir à l'utilisation du mot "mais" et à ce qu'il cache. Plus facile à dire lorsque l'on souhaite cacher un reproche que de partager clairement ce qui ne vas pas. Ce mot fait parti des mots puissants, utiliser trop souvent à tord et dont l'impact est parfois atomique. "Rien de ce qu'on dit avant le mot "mais" ne compte vraiment". Benjen, dans GOT... Et pourtant, tout ce qui vient avant comptent! Pourtant, cela devient sans importance simplement par l'utilisation de cette conjonction de coordination. Que se passerait-il alors si, lorsque ce mot se présente à vos lèvres, vous décidiez volontairement de lui interdire l'accès à vos cordes vocales et de réfléchir à ce qui conviendrait de dire pour passer votre message clairement ? Et in fine, atteindre votre objectif. Soutenez-nous sur Tipeee !

Highly important, rarely seen, and directly related to the victory of the living. Uncle Benjen should be celebrated as the hero of Winterfeld. It was amazing how he happened to be in the right place at the right time...every time...they needed him...like...magic? Were these just lucky instances or did he have a deeper knowledge of what was to come and was placed at key events purposely and not by chance. Press play and let's figure this time out.��Contact:���Email: southsidewesteros@gmail.com�Website: Home | South Side Westeros�IG: Southsidewesteros (@southsidewesteros)�Twitter: South Side Westeros (@Sswesteros) / Twitter�Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/southsidewesteros/����Donate:��Buy me Coffee: Sswesteros�Patreon: South Side Westeros�Cashapp: $southsidewesterosSupport the show#gameofthrones #HBO #HouseOfTheDragon #podcast #southsidewesteros #benjenstarkSupport the showSupport the show

The Ghosts of Harrenhal: A Song of Ice and Fire Podcast (ASOIAF)
The Night's Watch arrive at the Fist of the First Men, an ancient fort. Mormont decides to wait there as it is a good spot for friends to find them, and equally a fine place to keep an eye on their enemies. Ghost acts weird and leads Jon to a cache of dragonglass weapons. Mackelly and Simon feel the keenness of the edges. Chapter Review: The Night's Watch reach the Fist of the First Men. A rocky outcropping that pierces the canopy of the Haunted Forest. It was used as a fort in ancient times, and it is very defensible. Ghost is very unhappy as they climb towards the summit, and Mormont tells Jon to let the direwolf run free. Ghost does not need a second invitation. The position is advantageous, with steep slopes and basic walls, but Jon is concerned that without a water source they could not survive a siege. Mormont orders cisterns to be dug and water brought up from a nearby stream. That will keep the men busy. Mormont wants the rangers to stay close, not crossing the Milkwater River to the west, beyond which are the Frostfang Mountains, which according to Craster are where the Wildlings have gathered under the banner of Mance Rayder. Jon is worried that this limits their ability to find his uncle Benjen, but Mormont points out that it's easier for one man to find three hundred than the reverse. Plus, they need to wait somewhere conspicuous so that Qhorin Halfhand and his men from the Shadow Tower will find them. Ghost continues to freak out and Jon eventually follows him down the hill where they discover a significant cache of dragonglass weapons wrapped in a Night's Watch cloak that doesn't seem very old. Characters/Places/Names/Events: Night's Watch - The men who guard the Seven Kingdoms against threats from beyond the Wall. Jon Snow - Bastard son of Ned Stark. Recently sworn brother of the Night's Watch. Samwell Tarly - Brother of the Night's Watch. Heavy-set and cowardly. Attendant to Maester Aemon. Friend to Jon Snow. Ser Jeor Mormont - Lord Commander of the Night's Watch. Maester Aemon - One hundred-year-old maester of the Night's Watch. Ghost - Jon Snow's direwolf. Mance Rayder - Leader of the Wildlings, self-styled King-Beyond-The-Wall. Thoren Smallwood - Acting first ranger of the Night's Watch. Eddison Tollett (Dolorous Edd) - Unhappy member of the Night's Watch. Benjen Stark - Brother of Ned Stark, uncle to Jon Snow. First Ranger of the Night's Watch. Has been missing north of the Wall for many months. Qhorin Halfhand - Ranger of the Night's Watch at the Shadow Tower.

Wow! Three whole chapters! In this episode, we learn more about the 7 gods and try to figure out what's the deal with the Stranger. We meet a mysterious, cold-handed stranger north of the Wall, and Raven guesses who it might be. Jess tells us about how the Hound turns Arya into a burrito, and that Arya jumps into a fire. And Jon makes it back to Castle Black, only to learn what happened to Lord Commander Mormont and his two younger brothers, and to go to Confession with Maester Aemon.

Typos galore! In this episode, Raven f**ks up and Jess's cat might have Coronavirus. In A Clash of Kings, we learn how to make spiced wine, Ghost acts strange, and Jon finds something that might prove his uncle Benjen is alive. We also learn what Bran's dream from episode 59 was all about and are stunned by how wrong our guesses were. And we get two new dreams to decode, involving Ramsay Bolton, Reek, Theon, and Bran himself! But this time we are certain we solve them! The book takes a massive detour from the show, and both Littlefinger and Cersei are plotting schemes and scheming plots. Character perspectives in this episode: Jon, Bran, and Tyrion...

Jon has made it to Castle Black, and he's not exactly loving life. He's the best fighter of the recruit class but he has no friends and really just wants to pack it in and leave. To top it all off, he's made a dangerous enemy. We look at why he's having such a tough time adjusting, why his uncle Benjen isn't any help, and the impact of this new-found enemy on his life. We also make an exciting announcement about the pod!Chapter ReviewJon has begun his sentence, er... service in the Night's Watch. So far things have not gone smoothly. He's made nothing but enemies at every turn. He's isolated himself from the rest of the recruits, who he beats mercilessly when fighting in the yard. It comes to a head one night in the armory when a group of four recruits gang up on him. The melee ends quickly when the smith Donal Noye breaks it up. He tells Jon that he's been bullying the other boys. Later, Jon gets word that Bran has woken. With his mood lifted by the good news, he reaches out to some of the recruits.

Close the Door: Game of Thrones, A Song of Ice and Fire Podcast
Spoilers. Profanity. Jaime x Brienne. Jon is fanboying hard for Jaime. Rickon is a cutie. Kudos to Benjen for not taking advantage of a drunken teenager for recruiting purposes. Is Ghost smarter than the rest of us or is this a leftover from the original plot? We have no idea what George was thinking with the gymnastics. Game of Thrones. A Song Ice and Fire.

The Ghosts of Harrenhal: A Song of Ice and Fire Podcast (ASOIAF)
Tyrion, Jon, and Benjen are headed north. Leaving behind Winterfell and its Stark hospitality, in favor of the true north with its stark emptiness. Jon's trying not to have second thoughts. Tyrion's more than happy to voice those thoughts. We worry at it, like a dog with a bone. Chapter Review Jon and Tyrion have a long chat while heading north to the Wall. Tyrion's reading a history of dragons, explaining that he always loved the idea of flying and could not believe the dragon's skulls he'd seen in King's Landing. Tyrion mentions youthful dreams of killing his family with dragon's fire. Jon thinks that this might be a character flaw, but Tyrion helpfully points out that Jon was probably treated so much better by all the Starks. That one stung. Tyrion doubles down with a few snarky comments about Jon's new family (thieves and rapists) which ultimately leads Ghost to intervene by snarling menacingly in the Imp's face. Jon brings the wolf to heel, and the two patch things up a little. Characters/Places/Names/Events Tyrion Lannister - Younger brother of Queen Cersei.Jon Snow - Bastard son of Eddard Stark, soon to be sworn brother of the Night's Watch. Benjen Stark - Jon's uncle, Ranger in the Night's Watch.Yoren - Brother of the Night's Watch.Aegon the Conqueror - First Targaryen King of the Seven Kingdoms. Forger of the Iron Throne of Westeros.Visenya Targaryen - Aegon's sister and wife.Rhaenys Targaryen - Aegon's sister and wife.Field of Fire - Last major battle of Aegon's conquest.Balerion - Aegon's enormous dragon, known as the Black Dread.

The Ghosts of Harrenhal: A Song of Ice and Fire Podcast (ASOIAF)
The guys discuss the first serious contender for the role of Jon Snow's mother and debate why Ned refuses to tell Catelyn who the woman is. We also get insight into Ned's feelings of inadequacy toward his older brother Brandon, who was supposed to marry Catelyn and be the Lord of Winterfell before he was killed by King Aerys. Chapter Review: The chapter sees Ned and Catelyn discussing whether to accept Robert's offer of Hand of the King. Ned wants to decline. Cat thinks that Ned should accept. A secret note from Cat's sister Lysa Arryn arrives that indicates that Jon Arryn was murdered and points the finger at Queen Cersei Lannister as the murderer. That convinces them of the need to say yes, because someone needs to protect King Robert and the realm from the perfidious Lannasters. The next matters to resolve involve who should go to King's Landing and who should stay in Winterfell. Catelyn is disappointed when Ned tells her that she is staying in Winterfell with Robb and baby Rickon. The rest of the kids will go to King's Landing with Ned. Once that has been decided, they discuss what to do with Jon Snow. Catelyn refuses to have him in Winterfell. Ned feels there is no place for him in King's Landing. Ned agrees that it would make sense to let Jon go to Castle Black with Benjen to become a brother of the Night's Watch. Characters/Places/Names/Events: Ashara Dayne - Sister of Ser Arthur Dayne. Possible mother for Jon Snow. Lysa Arryn - Sister of Catelyn Stark and wife of the late Hand of the King Jon Arryn.House Arryn - One of the great houses of Westeros. Lords of the Vale and Wardens of the East, from their seat in the Eyrie.Myr - One of the free cities of Essos. Be sure to stick around after the regular show ends to get a peek behind the curtain.

The Ghosts of Harrenhal: A Song of Ice and Fire Podcast (ASOIAF)
In this episode, we discuss the feast to welcome the royal family to Winterfell, as seen through Jon's eyes. We also debate whether Ned is blind to the signs and symbols we've all seen so far or seeing them but doing what he needs to do despite them. Plus, we discover who the mysterious Kingslayer is! Chapter Review:Despite being the son of Eddard Stark, Lord of Winterfell, Jon Snow finds himself relegated to a table well out of sight of royal eyes at the welcoming feast for the royal family. Jon watches the precession of lords and ladies that include the rest of his family. He gets his first glimpse of the legendary King Robert Baratheon, Demon of the Trident, who turns out to be a disappointment. He is impressed with Ser Jamie Lannister, the twin brother to Queen Cersei. Alongside Jamie in the procession is Jamie's younger brother Tyrion Lannister, the dwarf known as “the imp.” During the feast, Jon's uncle Benjen Stark stop by to see him. Jon asks Benjen to take him back to Castle Black when Benjen returns, so Jon can join the Night's Watch. His uncle suggests he tastes more than 14 years of life before making that decision, as there is no going back. Jon gets upset and storms out of the hall. Outside, he meets Tyrion, who gives him some advice about being different from one's family. Characters, places, and events: King Robert Baratheon - Once a fierce imposing legendary figure. Now a fat shadow of his former self.Queen Cersei Lannister - Daughter of Tywin Lannister, the Lord of Casterly Rock and Warden of the West.

Brotherhood Without Manners - A Game of Thrones reread Podcast
Brotherhood Without Manners brings you the next chapter in George R.R. Martin's Game of Thrones with Jon 4. While training with the other boys in the yard, a new recruit joins them for his first day. This poor lad catches some shit from Alliser Thorne, and has to square up or get beaten. We dive into what made this craven SUCH a coward. We get some Jon dreams going on, wonder what they could mean... As always we induct some lucky character from this chapter to join us here in the heart of the Riverlands at the Brotherhood Without Manners campfire.

00:02:52,790 --> 00:02:57,200 be we want to read out an email for you 60 00:02:55,250 --> 00:02:58,969 know anybody that wants to write in to 61 00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:03,290 us please do we always

00:03:21,169 things here so first of all big shout 68 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:23,989 out to GG thank you so much we 69 00:03:21,169 --> 00:03:27,409 appreciate it and so the main thing I 70 00:03:23,989 --> 00:03:30,980 took from the email here is that and I 71 00:03:27,409 --> 00:03:33,079 replied to her but she pointed out that 72 00:03:30,980 --> 00:03:34,459 a few quite a few episodes back I think 73 00:03:33,079 --> 00:03:36,500 at this point but I don't actually 74 00:03:34,459 --> 00:03:40,720 remember exactly what episode it was I 75 00:03:36,500 --> 00:03:46,010 had referred to Arya as a Gryffindor 76 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:47,720 shame on me I think that she cuz gg you 77 00:03:46,010 --> 00:03:50,239 know definitely said she's sly and 78 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:52,250 resourceful she's a Slytherin her entire 79 00:03:50,239 --> 00:03:53,989 motivation to be a badass spawns from 80 00:03:52,250 --> 00:03:56,299 vengeful means not because of brave 81 00:03:53,989 --> 00:03:59,090 heroic intentions and so while I think 82 00:03:56,299 --> 00:04:01,790 to an extent that's true but I 83 00:03:59,090 --> 00:04:04,040 definitely feel as though she she 84 00:04:01,790 --> 00:04:07,340 encompasses the Slytherin better yeah 85 00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:10,280 yeah cuz she she does you know she's 86 00:04:07,340 --> 00:04:12,739 very loyal to her her family to her pack 87 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:16,310 her group which is a Slytherin quality 88 00:04:12,739 --> 00:04:18,680 she's not boastful or prideful about it 89 00:04:16,310 --> 00:04:21,880 which is much more Gryffindor quality so 90 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:23,990 you're right I stand corrected gg 91 00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:26,750 otherwise there was just some stuff 92 00:04:23,990 --> 00:04:29,770 about that episode from a few weeks ago 93 00:04:26,750 --> 00:04:33,050 sorry took so long for us to respond on 94 00:04:29,770 --> 00:04:35,930 episode but again we we pre record a lot 95 00:04:33,050 --> 00:04:37,430 of stuff so you know what can you do 96 00:04:35,930 --> 00:04:39,349 hopefully you're still listening at this 97 00:04:37,430 --> 00:04:40,610 point but you know

00:06:18,269 --> 00:06:24,120 the training yard here maybe it was pip 138 00:06:21,779 --> 00:06:26,099 actually it was Darren Oh was there in 139 00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:29,339 here seven gods would you look at this 140 00:06:26,099 --> 00:06:31,769 John his he points out Samwell Tarly as 141 00:06:29,339 --> 00:06:34,289 we don't quite his name yet but John 142 00:06:31,769 --> 00:06:37,139 through the eye slits of his helm John 143 00:06:34,289 --> 00:06:38,519 sees the fattest boy he had ever seen by 144 00:06:37,139 --> 00:06:40,769 the look of him he must have weighed 145 00:06:38,519 --> 00:06:42,899 about twenty stone which for those who 146 00:06:40,769 --> 00:06:45,269 don't know a stone is about fourteen 147 00:06:42,899 --> 00:06:46,769 pounds a so he looks like he's about two 148 00:06:45,269 --> 00:06:49,529 hundred and eighty pounds almost 300 149 00:06:46,769 --> 00:06:52,259 pounds okay which I mean that's a dude I 150 00:06:49,529 --> 00:06:54,430 don't it's pretty unfortunate that in 151 00:06:52,259 --> 00:06:56,950 today's day and age at 280 pounds 152 00:06:54,430 --> 00:06:58,990 while it's big isn't exactly the fattest 153 00:06:56,950 --> 00:07:02,830 person I've ever seen by any stretch of 154 00:06:58,990 --> 00:07:06,130 the matter for his age I'm assuming he's 155 00:07:02,830 --> 00:07:07,390 like 16 or 17 isn't he now is he I think 156 00:07:06,130 --> 00:07:09,220 he was a bit older because it was like 157 00:07:07,390 --> 00:07:10,900 his 50 might be a little over something 158 00:07:09,220 --> 00:07:12,940 yeah I think

00:19:18,730 Samwell Tarly and oddly Tyrion Lannister 463 00:19:16,510 --> 00:19:21,310 and he wonders what Tyrion would make a 464 00:19:18,730 --> 00:19:23,650 Sam and then he thinks of Tyrians quote 465 00:19:21,310 --> 00:19:25,800 most men would rather deny a hard truth 466 00:19:23,650 --> 00:19:29,410 than face it and that's when John 467 00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:31,900 decides that you

the top of the wall 527 00:21:49,509 --> 00:21:53,860 which I imagine it's just a fucking 528 00:21:51,700 --> 00:21:55,629 sight to see man and then he descends 529 00:21:53,860 --> 00:21:57,070 down

traveled with mummers so 538 00:22:11,019 --> 00:22:12,970 it makes sense that he's pretty good 539 00:22:12,159 --> 00:22:14,769 storytelling 540 00:22:12,970 --> 00:22:16,269 John doesn't go and join them and it's 541 00:22:14,769 --> 00:22:18,580 in goes to the other end of the bench 542 00:22:16,269 --> 00:22:20,740 where Sam was sitting alone and Sam's 543 00:22:18,580 --> 00:22:22,440 eyes widen as ghosts and him walk up and 544 00:22:20,740 --> 00:22:25,110 he asks if it's a wolf and John 545 00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:28,730 says bitch it's a dialogue get astray 546 00:22:25,110 -->

549 00:22:34,409 --> 00:22:40,080 his head to - scared you know talking 550 00:22:37,409 --> 00:22:42,360 and I think John guesses it right here 551 00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:43,679 that it's in this room you know there's 552 00:22:42,360 --> 00:22:46,049 a lot of people that could hear and 553 00:22:43,679 --> 00:22:47,519 laugh and yeah so John success they go 554 00:22:46,049 --> 00:22:49,200 outside and Sam gets a little suspicious 555 00:22:47,519 --> 00:22:52,080 and says why and John says so we can 556 00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:53,970 talk and you know - what there's a wall 557 00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:55,679 out there have you seen it and Sam says 558 00:22:53,970 --> 00:22:57,870 I'm fat I'm not blind 559 00:22:55,679 --> 00:23:00,299 but so he throws his cloak on and they 560 00:22:57,870 --> 00:23:03,360 head outside and they go out and they 561 00:23:00,299 --> 00:23:06,149 they talk about the cold and Sam admits 562 00:23:03,360 --> 00:23:08,460 that he's never seen snow so the real 563 00:23:06,149 --> 00:23:10,049 cool thing is that John had these same 564 00:23:08,460 --> 00:23:12,899 feelings because he really mentions how 565 00:23:10,049 --> 00:23:15,360 he wasn't expecting it to be this cold 566 00:23:12,899 --> 00:23:17,970 yeah and neither did John and John's 567 00:23:15,360 --> 00:23:19,529 used to the cold so like for poor Sam 568 00:23:17,970 --> 00:23:22,230 Tarly it's like going from fucking 569 00:23:19,529 --> 00:23:24,960 Florida to the very top of fucking 570 00:23:22,230 --> 00:23:27,210 Canada like you've got this nice warm 571

00:23:59,730 how he had never seen snow until about a 583 00:23:57,360 --> 00:24:01,080 month ago so it's all terrifying to him 584 00:23:59,730 --> 00:24:02,580 and then he says that he's worried about 585 00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:04,740 going to the top of the wall he doesn't 586 00:24:02,580 --> 00:24:06,299 much like high places and this ends up 587 00:24:04,740 --> 00:24:08,460 being the last straw for John he asked 588 00:24:06,299 --> 00:24:10,110 who are you afraid of everything why 589 00:24:08,460 --> 00:24:13,740 would a coward want to join the Nights 590 00:24:10,110 -->

00:24:51,040 and then Jon Snow begins laughing with 605 00:24:48,340 --> 00:24:52,750 him and John starts telling them about 606 00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:55,240 how they found the wolves and then soon 607 00:24:52,750 --> 00:24:57,460 enough he's talking of Winterfell and he 608 00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:59,470 says that sometimes I dream about it in 609 00:24:57,460 --> 00:25:03,820 the in these dreams he's walking down a 610 00:24:59,470 --> 00:25:05,650 long empty hall and he's calling he and 611 00:25:03,820 --> 00:25:07,930 something he's calling for everybody but 612 00:25:05,650 --> 00:25:09,280 no one ever answers him and it says he 613 00:25:07,930 --> 00:25:11,350 doesn't know who he's looking for 614 00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:14,620 most nights it's his father some nights 615

--> 00:25:35,910 letting you finish where you were at he 624 00:25:32,230 --> 00:25:39,070 mentions the stables and the and the 625 00:25:35,910 --> 00:25:41,620 stables being full oh yeah yeah yeah

John shakes his head and 629 00:25:45,010 --> 00:25:50,560 says that the castle is always empty and 630 00:25:46,860 --> 00:25:53,170 he doesn't know why he's opening up to 631 00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:56,110 Sam about this but god damn it feels 632 00:25:53,170 --> 00:25:57,640 good to tell somebody about this even 633 00:25:56,110 --> 00:25:59,950 though there really isn't anything and 634 00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:02,680 yeah he mentions that the Ravens are 635 00:25:59,950 --> 00:26:05,260 gone and then that he you know the birds 636 00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:09,610 are gone the who gets to the stables and 637 00:26:05,260 --> 00:26:11,740 it's just full of bones and for some 638 00:26:09,610 --> 00:26:13,240 reason when that line came at me that 639 00:26:11,740 --> 00:26:16,780 the first thing that jumped into my mind 640 00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:20,470 and granted it is most likely 100% 641 00:26:16,780 --> 00:26:23,740 completely unrelated but it was there 642 00:26:20,470 --> 00:26:25,480 Mayer six skins yeah and rattle rattle 643 00:26:23,740 --> 00:26:28,240 sure yeah there cuz he's talking about 644 00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:30,790 the birds and the stables and piles of 645 00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:32,560 bones in this it just seemed kind of 646 00:26:30,790 --> 00:26:33,970 like this almost like it could 647 00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:36,190 potentially be this foreshadowing for 648 00:26:33,970 --> 00:26:38,920 some of the other people he might be 649 00:26:36,190 --> 00:26:41,290 meeting yeah yeah but I don't have any 650 00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:43,360 evidence oh yeah I had I just happened 651 00:26:41,290 --> 00:26:45,280 to pop into my head right then so I just 652 00:26:43,360 --> 00:26:47,380 wrote it down and John oh and he says 653 00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:48,340 that that that always scares him when he 654 00:26:47,380 --> 00:26:50,770 sees the stable 655 00:26:48,340 --> 00:26:53,350 bones and then he finds himself at the 656 00:26:50,770 --> 00:26:55,030 the entranceway to the crypts and he 657 00:26:53,350 --> 00:26:57,700 says somehow I know I have to go down 658 00:26:55,030 --> 00:27:01,330 there but I don't want to I'm afraid of 659 00:26:57,700 --> 00:27:03,310 what's waiting for me and so he screams 660 00:27:01,330 --> 00:27:06,010 that he's not a stark and that this 661 00:27:03,310 --> 00:27:08,800 isn't his place but you know said he has 662 00:27:06,010 --> 00:27:11,590 to go anyway and he does he starts down 663 00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:14,380 and he feel he's feeling the walls until 664 00:27:11,590 --> 00:27:16,300 it gets darker and darker until he just 665 00:27:14,380 --> 00:27:18,100 wants to scream and that's when he 666 00:27:16,300 --> 00:27:20,200 always wakes up and that's pretty 667 00:27:18,100 --> 00:27:23,140 terrifying fucking dream yeah man that's 668 00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:27,160 that's creepy as shit cuz I mean it says 669 00:27:23,140 --> 00:27:30,130 again that he's not

make him brave like they promised he got 698 00:28:44,110 --> 00:28:48,520 sick and puked and his father had them 699 00:28:46,330 --> 00:28:52,450 scored yes so it's very cool that we get 700 00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:54,100 to see the warlocks and the what are 701 00:28:52,450 --> 00:28:57,430 these at the nightshade they drink yeah 702 00:28:54,100 --> 00:29:00,250 so early on and in a John chat so I just 703 00:28:57,430 --> 00:29:02,200 thought well speaking of Danny I just 704 00:29:00,250 --> 00:29:03,999 thought of course it didn't 705 00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:08,679 like the dragons weren't born yet 706 00:29:03,999 --> 00:29:10,690 there's no magic sense actually I don't 707 00:29:08,679 --> 00:29:13,139 know why but as soon as like what the 708 00:29:10,690 --> 00:29:16,090 white wires or the others are a 709 00:29:13,139 --> 00:29:20,230 different set of yeah let's be honest 710 00:29:16,090 --> 00:29:22,809 here so he says that finally after three 711 00:29:20,230 --> 00:29:24,909 girls in three years lady Tarly gave 712 00:29:22,809 --> 00:29:27,820 birth to another son and Sam was fucking 713 00:29:24,909 --> 00:29:30,190 forgotten yeah but when it was peaceful 714 00:29:27,820 --> 00:29:32,710 and Sam enjoyed it until his 15th year 715 00:29:30,190 --> 00:29:34,600 right name day but where he awakened to 716 00:29:32,710 --> 00:29:36,210 his horse was saddled and ready and he 717 00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:42,190 was escorted to his father who was 718 00:29:36,210 --> 00:29:43,929 skinning a deer yo so I never made the 719 00:29:42,190 --> 00:29:46,119 connection - this is how they got the 720 00:29:43,929 --> 00:29:50,249 introduction in the television show for 721 00:29:46,119 --> 00:29:52,239 ty winds a little part with Jamie and 722 00:29:50,249 --> 00:29:54,340 God that's cool though that it's 723 00:29:52,239 --> 00:29:57,509 actually randyll Tarly yeah Sam and 724 00:29:54,340 --> 00:29:59,710 that's because that you know in the show 725 00:29:57,509 --> 00:30:01,480 Tywin is skinning the deer when Jaime 726 00:29:59,710 --> 00:30:03,489 Jaime first oh yeah the first time we 727 00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:03,999 meet Tywin I think yes and it's with 728 00:30:03,489 --> 00:30:07,600 Jaime 729 00:30:03,999 --> 00:30:09,580 but with Samwell he's he's disgusted by 730 00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:11,470 the death and yeah there's some stuff of 731 00:30:09,580 --> 00:30:14,169 hunting and the skinning of the day like 732 00:30:11,470 --> 00:30:16,899 that's unbelievably unsettling for him 733 00:30:14,169 --> 00:30:18,850 and so it just paints this way darker 734 00:30:16,899 --> 00:30:20,919 picture of randyll Tarly then and 735 00:30:18,850 --> 00:30:23,649 granted that was very powerful scene in 736 00:30:20,919 --> 00:30:26,739 the show with Tywin doing the skins yeah 737 00:30:23,649 --> 00:30:28,600 stuff but like fucking Martin did it so 738 00:30:26,739 --> 00:30:30,820 much better with randyll Tarly yes it's 739 00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:34,179 like it's just a much more savage way 740 00:30:30,820 --> 00:30:36,879 because Sam's that soft plumped gentle 741 00:30:34,179 --> 00:30:39,159 kid being escorted in the middle of the 742 00:30:36,879 --> 00:30:41,710 fucking morning out to the woods where 743 00:30:39,159 --> 00:30:44,679 this man is skinning an animal in front 744 00:30:41,710 --> 00:30:47,070 of him threatening him saying you can 745 00:30:44,679 --> 00:30:50,049 you can either join the Nights Watch or 746 00:30:47,070 --> 00:30:52,090 you can get fucking killed cuz you're 747 00:30:50,049 --> 00:30:54,669 going on a hunt with us and I will kill 748 00:30:52,090 --> 00:30:56,710 you yeah I will myself your father 749 00:30:54,669 --> 00:30:58,239 fucking killing I'll tell your mother 750 00:30:56,710 --> 00:31:00,669 you were thrown from your saddle to die 751 00:30:58,239 --> 00:31:02,710 she is a kind woman and I have no wish 752 00:31:00,669 --> 00:31:04,539 to cause her pain but nothing would 753 00:31:02,710 --> 00:31:07,419 please me more than to hunt you down 754 00:31:04,539 --> 00:31:10,029 like the pig that you are the choice is 755 00:31:07,419 --> 00:31:11,349 yours the Nights Watch or he holds up 756 00:31:10,029 --> 00:31:12,610 the the dear heart 757 00:31:11,349 --> 00:31:15,399 or this 758 00:31:12,610 --> 00:31:18,640 and he sang that to his son yeah man and 759 00:31:15,399 --> 00:31:20,590 John notes that oddly Sam doesn't cry at 760 00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:23,440 all during the telling of this story I 761 00:31:20,590 --> 00:31:24,909 think that's a sign of how much Sam has 762 00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:26,740 hardened tortoise I think that's some 763 00:31:24,909 --> 00:31:30,130 steely resolve that's gonna really point 764 00:31:26,740 --> 00:31:31,480 to the arc that he's expected to to be 765 00:31:30,130 --> 00:31:33,519 going through for throughout the series 766 00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:35,740 that he's got this you know I dealt with 767 00:31:33,519 --> 00:31:38,019 this savagery from my father for years 768 00:31:35,740 --> 00:31:38,980 and years and years it's the one thing 769 00:31:38,019 --> 00:31:40,029 that doesn't bother me 770 00:31:38,980 --> 00:31:41,830 yeah I mean everyone's got their 771 00:31:40,029 --> 00:31:43,840 shipment like Sam is hardened in a 772 00:31:41,830 --> 00:31:45,700 different way due to the beauty at his 773 00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:47,649 father's hands so John suggests heading 774 00:31:45,700 --> 00:31:50,380 in for some hot cider and some singing 775 00:31:47,649 --> 00:31:52,090 and Sam's face is troubled again and he 776 00:31:50,380 --> 00:31:54,070 asks he's going to make me fight again 777 00:31:52,090 --> 00:31:56,409 tomorrow isn't he and John says yeah he 778 00:31:54,070 --> 00:31:56,649 is and so Sam says now I better get some 779 00:31:56,409 --> 00:31:59,169 sleep 780 00:31:56,649 --> 00:32:01,090 then and he heads off yeah so John 781 00:31:59,169 -->

Andrew and Manu journey around Westeros in "The Pointy End" as Jon, Sansa, Robb, and Catelyn gradually hear the fateful news about Ned Stark being thrown into the black cells of King's Landing for treason. For Jon, this also comes on the heels of bringing the bodies of his uncle Benjen's companions back from beyond the Wall. After being goaded by a letter from Sansa (that Cersei and others force her to write) to swear fealty to Joffrey, Robb makes the decision to call the banners for the North and march on the capital. At the Eyrie, Catelyn hears this news at the same time as she reads about Ned's imprisonment, and is furious at her sister Lysa for both withholding the information and refusing to take a side in the coming war. Tensions are running high, and the actors & actresses of Thrones are called upon to do some heavy lifting. So there's plenty to talk about in this podcast! Jump in. iTunes link Google Play link
On the episode, Deus ex Benjen happens. facebook.com/TheViewFromTheCouchPodcast twitter.com/CouchPod
Andrew and Manu experience the rollercoaster penultimate episode of season 7, "Beyond the Wall." There's banter and character beats between the Wall's Magnificent 7 (specifically Jon and Tormund, and Jon and Jorah), the horror of the ice bear battle, Beric's future, the concept of siring, the group's desperation to survive on the frozen island, Benjen's role, and Jon's decision to bend the knee. Also discussed: The complications behind Dany's potential successor, the frustrating Winterfell plot, Sansa's intentions with Brienne, and the Night King raising Viserion. It's a trip.

The podcast returns from a mini-break! It's the finale for Benjen as we know him, but he goes out in style. First, he talks Jon down from his claims of being ready for a ranging, educating him on the Night's Watch code. Then, he knocks some sense into Tyrion for not taking the Watch seriously enough before trudging off into the snowy plot-filled night beyond the Wall. Godspeed, my man. iTunes link
Game of Thrones brought us yet another resurrection this week with the surprising return of fan favorite Sandor "The Hound" Clegane. With Jon, Benjen, and now our favorite chicken eating killer back is it possible that Westeros is starting to feel a little bit too safe? The Cast Beyond the Wall investigates this phenomenon along with the rest of the big reveals from this week's episode The Broken Man. Austin, Daniel and I give our initial reactions before diving into our scene by scene recap. This week was another great table-setter that featured a little bit more of the classic Game of Thrones monologuing that's been lacking in the breakneck pacing of the season so far. Margery proves that she's got the High Sparrow handled in her own way and even sends Lady Olenna Tyrell back to High Garden. Further north, the Starks have apparently discovered a magical means of teleportation as they recruit what's left of the northern houses. After suffering from a couple of lame storylines, it looks like Jaime's banishment from King's Landing might be the most interesting thing to happen to him in seasons. He's joined by Bronn as he's forced to retake Riverrun from the Blackfish. For those of you who may have forgotten, Brynden "The Blackfish" Tully, is Catelyn Stark's Uncle who escaped the clutches of The Red Wedding. Like what you hear?
