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 !

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.

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.

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.

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. She is the twin sister of Ser Jamie Lannister.Joffrey Baratheon - Oldest Baratheon child and crown prince. Betrothed to Sansa Stark.Myrcella and Tommen Baratheon - Younger Baratheon children.Jamie Lannister - Member of the Royal Kingsguard. Twin brother of queen Cersei.Tyrion Lannister: Youngest of the Lannister siblings. A dwarf who is often referred to as “the imp.”Eddard Stark and his wife Catelyn (nee Tully) and their five children: Rob, Sansa, Arya, Bran, and Rickon.Jon Snow - Bastard son of Eddard Stark.Benjen Stark - Eddard's younger brother and a ranger in the Night's Watch.Support the podcast.

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

--> 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

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

and halter barely   330 00:14:03,630 --> 00:14:08,160 gets his sword up in time before John is   331 00:14:06,270 --> 00:14:10,620 just driving him back drive and John has   332 00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:12,150 time to think no your foe is what Sir   333 00:14:10,620 --> 00:14:14,310 Roderick had always taught him and he   334 00:14:12,150 --> 00:14:16,560 knew that halter was strong but short on   335 00:14:14,310 --> 00:14:18,720 patience and you could frustrate him and   336 00:14:16,560 --> 00:14:21,180 get him to leave himself over yeah and   337 00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:23,670 so John goes right in Knox hauled it   338 00:14:21,180 --> 00:14:25,320 right on his ass and goes to move and so   339 00:14:23,670 --> 00:14:28,110 this is cool cuz he immediately has the   340 00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:29,820 thought process of you know gren is and   341 00:14:28,110 --> 00:14:31,800 he's kind of holding his own he's good   342 00:14:29,820 --> 00:14:33,990 all pip needs more help yeah and so he   343 00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:38,040 goes and helps pip first yeah against   344 00:14:33,990 --> 00:14:40,470 rats yeah so he slams rest in the helm   345 00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:42,330 yeah the sword and pip is unable to get   346 00:14:40,470 --> 00:14:45,510 him down on the ground and so facing two   347 00:14:42,330 --> 00:14:47,790 swords Albee packs away yielding and sir   348 00:14:45,510 --> 00:14:50,190 Alistair is not pleased with because   349 00:14:47,790 --> 00:14:52,080 especially how fast they yeah we show   350 00:14:50,190 --> 00:14:53,520 doom yeah and so he looks around with   351 00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:56,190 disgust and he calls an end of the   352 00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:58,620 session and saying there's only so much   353 00:14:56,190 --> 00:15:00,210 he can stomach in a day so Halldor rips   354 00:14:58,620 --> 00:15:02,490 off his helmet tells John I thought I   355 00:15:00,210 --> 00:15:05,120 finally had you and so I really like   356 00:15:02,490 --> 00:15:08,010 that once thorn stalks away and like the   357 00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:10,560 he he got this like howl there's not a   358 00:15:08,010 --> 00:15:13,200 bad dude bright

00:15:21,630 second there you did it yeah like it was   362 00:15:19,430 --> 00:15:23,550 he tries to take off his helmet but the   363 00:15:21,630 --> 00:15:25,589 pain in his shoulder from a wound he had   364 00:15:23,550 --> 00:15:27,480 taken from Hall there made it actually   365 00:15:25,589 --> 00:15:30,450 hard to get it off so he crits it he   366 00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:33,529 just kind of gives off and then he hears   367 00:15:30,450 --> 00:15:37,230 let me in these thick fingered hands   368 00:15:33,529 --> 00:15:39,209 John's helmet and it says that blood met   369 00:15:37,230

00:16:03,790 --> 00:16:08,170 you get up and fight and this is when   381 00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:10,210 Sam and my admits he looks to the ground   382 00:16:08,170 --> 00:16:13,960 and he says I fear I'm a coward um a   383 00:16:10,210 --> 00:16:16,330 bitch I like to run away from stuff and   384 00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:18,130 they're all stunned by this what sort of   385 00:16:16,330 --> 00:16:20,350 man admits that he's a coward in this   386 00:16:18,130 --> 00:16:22,450 world that's just yeah it's crazy to be   387 00:16:20,350 --> 00:16:24,910 yourself probably out to be like yeah

--> 00:16:39,790 to be like I am and he starts heading   394 00:16:37,510 --> 00:16:42,010 toward the armory but John calls to him   395 00:16:39,790 --> 00:16:44,620 tomorrow you'll do better and his

great well and that's he just   399 00:16:52,930 --> 00:17:01,870 walks away i grin again the simple one   400 00:17:00,250 --> 00:17:03,610 is worried about being seen as a coward   401 00:17:01,870 --> 00:17:05,350 because they associated with him by   402 00:17:03,610 --> 00:17:07,660 association Pepa tells him he's too   403 00:17:05,350 --> 00:17:09,280 stupid and they're arguing and Jon heads   404 00:17:07,660 --> 00:17:11,740 off to the armor he's used to their   405 00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:13,240 bickering he hangs up a sword a nice   406 00:17:11,740 --> 00:17:14,830 tripping off his armor and he thinks   407 00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:16,449 about how life at Castle black follows a   408 00:17:14,830 --> 00:17:19,230 routine mornings are for swordplay   409 00:17:16,449 -->

00:19:06,730 John yeah has to scatter gravel over the   456 00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:07,480 tops of footpaths on the wall yeah   457 00:19:06,730 --> 00:19:09,370 you're just kind of thinking about   458 00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:11,290 Tyrion and salmon it's lonely boring   459 00:19:09,370 --> 00:19:12,550 work but John doesn't really mind and   460 00:19:11,290 --> 00:19:13,900 yeah he finds himself sort of   461 00:19:12,550 --> 00:19:16,510 daydreaming and yeah he's thinking of   462 00:19:13,900 --> 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 know it takes a it   468 00:19:29,410 --> 00:19:35,050 takes a queer kind of courage to or   469 00:19:31,900 --> 00:19:36,610 bravery to be admitting to the fact that   470 00:19:35,050 --> 00:19:38,890 you're a coward yeah the world is full   471 00:19:36,610 --> 00:19:40,300 of Cravens who pretend to be heroes and   472 00:19:38,890 --> 00:19:42,640 it takes a queer sort of courage to   473 00:19:40,300 --> 00:19:45,970 admit cowardice as Samwell Tarly had   474 00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:47,680 this and that's it mean I really like   475 00:19:45,970 --> 00:19:49,480 that's a little bit of John's maturity   476 00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:50,920 and I think tyrion helped sort of shine   477 00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:53,620 the light on that a lot when he was at   478 00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:55,510 the wall of like looking at a man for   479 00:19:53,620 -->

he descends   529 00:21:53,860 --> 00:21:57,070 down heading to dinner and it says that   530 00:21:55,629 --> 00:21:59,470 the evening meal is almost finished by   531 00:21:57,070 --> 00:22:01,539

ever find a new one in   628 00:25:43,270 --> 00:25:46,860 your dreams and 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 scared about his his   670 00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:33,040 death it's more the kings of winter down   671 00:27:30,130 --> 00:27:34,950 not you know and so like he doesn't   672 00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:37,960 belong um   673 00:27:34,950 --> 00:27:40,330 fuck man that poor kid really after   674 00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:44,590 being like ostracized by Catelyn Stark   675 00:27:40,330 --> 00:27:46,840 getting like it's it's just fucked yeah   676 00:27:44,590 --> 00:27:49,420 so John asks Sam do you dream of horn   677 00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:51,520 Hill and Sam says no I hated it there   678 00:27:49,420 --> 00:27:53,560 and this is when we get the description   679 00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:56,830 that the tarly's were an old house sworn   680 00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:58,510 to the Tyrells of Highgarden Samwell was   681 00:27:56,830 --> 00:28:02,380 the oldest son of randyll Tarly   682 00:27:58,510 --> 00:28:04,930 and whatever pride Randall had felt at   683 00:28:02,380 --> 00:28:07,840 Sam's birth vanished as soon as he grew   684 00:28:04,930 --> 00:28:10,630 up plump and soft and awkward he liked   685 00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:13,420 music and kittens and books and dance   686 00:28:10,630 --> 00:28:16,840 and he fainted at the sight of blood and   687 00:28:13,420 --> 00:28:19,930 wept at the sight of the place yeah a   688 00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:22,420 dozen master-at-arms tried to turn Sam   689 00:28:19,930 --> 00:28:25,990 into a knight and when that didn't work   690 00:28:22,420 --> 00:28:28,090 it turned to abuse and starvation amen   691 00:28:25,990 --> 00:28:29,980 Randall's fucking a savage cunt and   692 00:28:28,090 --> 00:28:32,440 through it all Sam only grew fatter and   693 00:28:29,980 --> 00:28:36,160 more frightened one time two warlocks   694 00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:38,680 from Qarth came white skin and blue lips   695 00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:41,500 they slaughtered a bowl and made him   696 00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:44,110 bathe in the hot blood and it didn't   697 00:28:41,500 --> 00:28:46,330 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

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 -->

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

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

The Cast Beyond the Wall: A House of the Dragon Podcast

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?
