Podcasts about brienne of tarth

Send us a textBrienne is held captive by the Brotherhood without Banners, as she battles the infection caused by her wounds. When she recovers, she's brought before Lady Stoneheart - who is Catelyn Stark. Brienne stands accused of oath-breaking and must deliver Jamie Lannister or die. Simon and Mackelly weigh the possibilities. Chapter Review:Brienne of Tarth is tied to a horse in agony from her wounds and their inevitable infection. She drifts in and out of fever-dreams. When she finally rouses with the fever broken, Thoros of Myr explains a few things: Lem should have been protecting the inn, she's got terrible facial wounds from Biter, and she's here to answer to Lady Stoneheart, the Brotherhood's new leader, for her crimes. The lion-pommeled sword and the letter signed by Tommen do her no favors.She's taken to Lady Stoneheart, who is mostly silent allowing Lem and others to hector Brienne with accusations. She contends that both girls were gone, that Jaime gave her the sword and the letter to allow her to rescue Sansa - but it falls on deaf ears. Finally Lady Stoneheart speaks, she's unintelligible to the uninitiated. But she demands that Brienne bring her Jaime - or she along with Pod and Ser Hyle will be hanged. Brienne cannot agree so the three are dragged to trees and strung up. She cries out a single word as the chapter ends. Characters/Places/Names/Events:Brienne of Tarth - Charged with rescuing Sansa Stark.Podrick Payne - Former squire to Tyrion Lannister, now traveling with Brienne.Ser Hyle Hunt - Captain in service to House Tarly.

Mackelly and Simon call for a medic.Chapter Review:Brienne of Tarth, Podrick Payne, Ser Hyle Hunt, and Septon Meribald plod through the Riverlands. It's not great, with soldiers of all stripes hanging from every tree. Truly a feast for crows.They reach the Inn at the Crossroads, which has become a haven for orphans. There are too many to count. The girl Willow has an air of command that makes Brienne wonder if she might be Arya Stark. The closest the children have to a protector is Gendry the smith. Brienne is stunned by his similarity to Renly Baratheon, although he has Robert's build. She asks after his parentage but he's not very forthcoming. After sharing their food with the children, the inn is visited by armed riders. Willow threatens them with a crossbow, and they recognize Brienne. She kills Rorge, but Biter gets the better of her until a sword pierces his throat. Characters/Places/Names/Events:Brienne of Tarth - Charged with rescuing Sansa Stark.Podrick Payne - Former squire to Tyrion Lannister, now traveling with Brienne.Ser Hyle Hunt - Former captain in service to House Tarly, now traveling with Brienne.Septon Meribald - Itinerant Septon of the Riverlands.Willow Heddle - Child proprietress of the Inn at the Crossroads.Gendry - Smith of King's Landing, working at the Inn of the Crossroads.Rorge - Brutal criminal sentenced to the Night's Watch, now free in the Riverlands.Biter - Even more brutal companion of Rorge.

The future occupant had the misfortune to be in Saltpans when the purported Hound's raid took place.The Elder Brother of the Isle welcomes them and asks that septon Meribald hear confessions before he leaves. He tells them news from Saltpans. How the citizenry were left to their fate when Ser Quincy Cox barred the doors to his keep. Furthermore he has information for Brienne.He met the dying Sandor Clegane by the roadside and, while he could not give him the mercy he sought, he held the Hound as he died. He buried him and left his helmet to mark his grave. Obviously someone picked it up and wore it in Saltpans.

Brienne continues to search for Sansa Stark. None of her leads pan out in Duskendale. But not all is lost, she gets a fancy sigil on her shield. She considers Sansa's possible alternative locations and gets awfully close to the truth. She discovers that a familiar face (to us) is following her. Simon and Jenny wish Brienne would follow her instincts.Chapter Review:Brienne of Tarth arrives in Duskendale; her first official destination on her journey to find Sansa Stark. Her House Lothston shield gives her trouble at the town gate and the guard suggests his sister as an artist to repaint the shield. After dropping the shield off and describing a sigil she'd like to see on it, she makes for the Dun Fort. The lord of the Dun Fort is absent so she is shown to his maester. After reading her letter from King Tommen proving she is on official royal business, the maester reveals she's not the first to ask about Sansa and Dontos Hollard; more like the 21st.The maester breaks it to Brienne that Ser Dontos had little ties to Duskendale, as the rest of his family was wiped out years previously. Dejected, Brienne leaves and returns to the inn to wait on her shield. At the inn, she meets a dwarf holy man who tells her of a fool in Maidenpool with two travel companions. It intrigues Brienne enough to consider it as her next stop. The next morning the shield is delivered to her and exceeds her expectations. Brienne heads north up the coast but realizes she's being followed. She springs a trap on the unwanted company. When she has the man where she wants him, it's revealed that he's Podrick Payne, who was hoping that following Brienne would lead him to Tyrion.Characters/Places/Names/Events:Brienne of Tarth - Charged with rescuing Sansa Stark.Sansa Stark - Eldest surviving Stark child.

Brienne begins her wild goose chase in the hunt for Sansa Stark. She meets some unusual travelers on the road and makes some unexpected travel companions, on her way to Duskendale. She also learns that she's not the only one looking for the Stark girl. Simon and Mackelly worry about saddle sores.Chapter Review:Armed with Oathkeeper, Brienne of Tarth rides through the Crownlands asking all and sundry if they have seen a high-born maid of three and 10 riding with a portly knight or a fool. She doesn't mention Sansa's name, and gets no help from anyone.She camps down with a couple of hedge knights for the night. Ser Creighton tells of his amazing, hardly believable, exploits at the Battle of the Blackwater. Ser Illifer is a quieter soul. But it is the latter who figures out who she is. He accuses her of Renly's murder, but she denies it. They meet a group of “sparrows” the next day. These adherents of the Faith of the Seven are heading to King's Landing with the bones of murdered holy people. They hope to find protection from King Tommen when they get there. Another knight, Ser Shadrich, tells Brienne that she is not the only hunter. Varys has offered a reward for Sansa's whereabouts. Brienne feigns ignorance. That night she slips away from the others - preferring the lonely road.Characters/Places/Names/Events:Brienne of Tarth - Charged with rescuing Sansa Stark.Sansa Stark - Eldest surviving Stark child.

Jaime and Brienne share a bath. Jaime also shares a story that comes as a shock to Brienne. Later, they both dine with Lord Roose Bolton. The pair learn why Vargo Hoat cut off Jaime's hand, as well as what Roose plans to do with them both. It's good news for Jaime, not so much for Brienne. Simon and Mackelly ask Jaime to please pass the prunes.Chapter Review:Jaime Lannister slides himself into the tub currently occupied by Brienne of Tarth, much to Brienne's dismay. After a squabble between the two, Jaime tells the full story of how he came to be known as the “Kingslayer.” He reveals never-before known details that paint him in a much more heroic light. Brienne is speechless.After bath time, Brienne helps Jaime dress and then escorts him to dinner with Lord Roose Bolton. Jaime wants to know what Roose plans to do with Brienne and him. Roose explains that he has many options to consider regarding Jaime's fate. Brienne says he must let them finish their prisoner exchange in King's Landing. Roose says he's been told it was a prison break, and if so Brienne is guilty of treason. All that said, he does plan on sending Jaime on to King's Landing. First, he needs Jaime to promise to clear his name with Lord Tywin.Roose explains Vargo Hoat cut off Jaime's hand to dissuade Roose from sending Jaime back to his family, since Vargo is Roose's man, as Roose is King Robb's man. Therefore, Roose should take some blame for the act. Jaime promises to make it clear Roose saved Jaime and Vargo acted alone. Brienne assumes she'll be accompanying Jaime on his way. However, Roose sets her straight. She'll stay in Harrenhal, as Vargo's prize possession. He suggests she turn her attention to sapphires.Characters/Places/Names/Events:Jaime Lannister - Member of the royal Kingsguard. Twin brother to queen Cersei and older brother to Tyrion.

Tyrion attends a Small Council meeting chaired by his father. Much news is discussed. Afterward, Tywin announces that Cersei will marry Willas Tyrell, the heir to Highgarden, and Tyrion will marry Sansa Stark. Shae was unavailable for comment. Simon and Mackelly plan the bachelor party.Chapter Review:Tyrion Lannister attends the Small Council along with his father Tywin, uncle Kevan, sister Cersei, the familiar figures of Petyr Littlefinger Baelish, Lord Varys, and the reinstated Grand Maester Pycelle. In addition, Lords Tyrell, Redwyne, and Rowan take their seats. Tyrion's not sure he knows the rules of the new game, but he's sure he better learn them, fast. The news flows thick and fast:Randyll Tarly has defeated the northerners at Duskendale. Devan Lannister is rounding up the remnants of his late father Stafford's army to march on Riverrun. Balon Greyjoy offers alliance in return for recognition of him as King of the Isles and the North, Tywin's not ready to respond to that. Greyjoy is already doing everything the Lannisters would want of him - for nothing. Littlefinger is to woo and marry Lysa Arryn to bring the Vale over to King Joffrey. Tyrion takes over as Master of Coin - he senses that Baelish has left him a trap. The Reach lords divide the spoils of war. The Tyrells take Brightwater Keep from the Florents.Tywin dismisses all but family and announces that Cersei will marry. She's not pleased. He suggests some suitors but eventually chooses Willas Tyrell. She storms off. Tyrion is to marry Sansa Stark. Both of these are to derail the plan to marry Sansa to Willas, which Littlefinger unearthed and reported to Tywin. Lastly news of Robb's marriage to Jeyne Westerling is revealed. Tyrion is astonished. The Westerlings surely know what happens to those who cross Tywin. But Tywin is oddly sanguine, hinting that he might be pulling the strings.Characters/Places/Names/Events:Tyrion Lannister - Youngest son of Tywin Lannister.

Jamie and Brienne switch to horseback as they travel to King's Landing. This gives them time to discuss who is the bigger Kingslayer. Jamie dreams of his infamous act. Mackelly and Simon try to interpret.  Chapter Review:Jamie Lannister spots an inn and Brienne brings the boat to shore so they can sleep under a roof. However, the proprietor is a bit dodgy and after dinner they decide to push on immediately. The inn has horses in the stables, and Brienne blows a big chunk of their per diem on securing rides. This also means that Jamie's leg irons must be struck, although the vision of trying to get the horse to step his back legs over the chain to allow Jamie to shimmy aboard is rather delicious.The three (don't forget the always forgettable Ser Cleos Frey) ride through the night, scrupulously avoiding the route that the barkeep suggested along Get Robbed and Murdered Avenue. When they've put some miles between them and the inn, they camp. Jamie and Brienne chat about chivalry, vows, kingslaying, all the fun stuff. They don't really see eye to eye. Jamie continues to look for opportunities to escape.That night Jamie dreams of killing Aerys. How the king had ordered him to murder his father Tywin. How the tyrant plotted with his pyromancer to do some mischief (Jamie killed him too). And how he didn't sit the Iron Throne to claim anything, he was just curious who would be first to come and claim it. Of course it would be judgy Ned Stark, who saw the ambitious and murderous Lannister usurping the hard won throne, rather than just Jamie: tired and dispirited.Characters/Places/Names/Events:Jamie Lannister - Member of the royal Kingsguard. Twin brother to queen Cersei and older brother to Tyrion. Nicknamed the "Kingslayer" for killing King Aerys Targaryen. Freed by Catelyn Stark.Brienne of Tarth - Warrior woman.

Arya, Hot Pie, and Gendry make their way north from Harrenhal, in hopes of reaching the safety of Riverrun. The trip won't be an easy one, as they avoid the roads in favor of the cover the rugged terrain provides. Arya's worried about being hunted by Roose Bolton's men, but gets some help from an old friend. Simon and Mackelly saddle up for the ride.Chapter Review:Arya Stark and her friends Hot Pie and Gendry successfully escaped Harrenhal. However, they now find themselves traveling through dense woods and high hills, and across rivers, with nothing more than a vague map and Arya's comprehension of geographical orientation to keep them going in the right direction.Arya's plan is to go north to the Red Fork of the Trident, then follow the river west to Riverrun. She's sure Lord Roose Bolton will send a hunting party after her, as she stole and murdered a guard, to make their escape. Along their travels, they hear wolves howl and have a run-in with a trio of them. But they've seen no sign of any men tracking her and the boys.When they can go no further without falling asleep in their saddles, they make camp for the night. Arya dreams she's a huge wolf. Her pack attacks four members of the Brave Companions. The pack kills three, and she kills the fourth herself.Characters/Places/Names/Events:Arya Stark - Younger daughter of Ned and Catelyn Stark.

Jamie takes a river cruise down the Red Fork with family and friends. Well, not  exactly. He's been freed by Cat but still in shackles, having vowed to send Sansa and Arya home in return. Things go smoothly, until they don't. Only Brienne's smarts and strength save the trio from recapture. Simon and Mackelly pull the oars.Chapter Review:Jamie Lannister has been freed from his Riverrun dungeon by Catelyn Stark. He vowed, under dubious conditions, to convince his brother Tyrion Lannister to send Sansa and Arya Stark home in return.Jamie is still fettered and under the protection of Brienne of Tarth. His cousin Ser Cleos Frey rounds out the trio. They sail down the Red Fork of the Trident on a small skiff. Jamie antagonizes Brienne and she does her best to ignore the barbs.They survey the destruction of the Riverlands from their boat, until Brienne sees a tree with dead women hanging in it. The sight is too much for her. She lands with the intent to cut the women down and bury them. While in the branches of the tree, Brienne sees a sail in the distance and they hurry for the boat.Try as they might, their little boat cannot outrun the larger galley. Ser Robin Ryger and his crew make up the distance. The ship and boat play cat and mouse, until Brienne climbs a high bluff and pushes a boulder onto the ship, sinking it.Jamie thinks he's free of the big warrior woman. But she leaps from the bluff into the water. Rather than using his oar as a weapon, putting an end to Brienne, he uses it to reel her back to the boat.Characters/Places/Names/Events:Jamie Lannister - Member of the royal Kingsguard.

Cat tries to come to terms with the news of Bran's and Rickon's deaths. She visits Jamie Lannister who defends his decision to kill the King and break his oath, but goes too far when he belittles Ned Stark. Cat calls for Brienne's sword. Mackelly and Simon quickly buy up pine boxes in Riverrun.Chapter Review:Catelyn Stark listens to the citizens of Riverrun celebrate the victory over Tywin Lannister's forces, while trying to process the news that Bran and Rickon have been murdered by Theon Greyjoy. She spends some time with her father Hoster, who sleeps throughout.At midnight, she and Brienne visit Jamie in the dungeons. Jamie agrees to answer Cat's questions as long as she will do the same with his. He admits to throwing Bran from the tower, but denies sending the assassin. He also admits to being the father of Cersei's children. He backs up Tyrion's story of the dagger used in the attempt on Bran's life. If the Imp bet, it was  on Jamie and he lost, so he never won the dagger. In return, Cat reveals the state of the war - Robb winning more and more castles in the Westerlands.Jamie then tells the story of Brandon and Rickard Stark's death, painting a terrible picture of Aerys and the other Kingsguard. Jamie bemoans that he's forever tainted whilst honor-bound sticklers like Ned Stark are sanctified. He goes a bit too far, and Cat demands Brienne's sword.Characters/Places/Names/Events:Catelyn Stark - Lady of Winterfell.

Cat muses on her duties while Edmure's forces repel Tywin Lannister's repeated attempts to ford the Red Fork. Riverrun celebrates as Tywin's army retreats to the headwaters of the Blackwater Rush, but Cat is uneasy. Mackelly and Simon consider Tywin's next move. Chapter Review: Catelyn Stark sees her brother Edmure ride out of Riverrun to prevent Tywin Lannister from returning back to the Westerlands. She feels like she's done her duty all her life, but where her duty lies now is cloudier. News arrives from Storm's End of Courtnay Penrose's demise and the ceding of the castle to Stannis. There is no mention of Edric Storm, but Brienne has met him and confirms that he looks just like Renly, who in turn looked just like Robert. The seed is strong. In a separate letter, Roose Bolton has confirmed his plan to cut off Tywin's natural retreat, by taking Harrenhal, even if he has to kill everyone within to do so. He also hopes that this will remove the stain caused by the behavior of his bastard son Ramsay. Tywin's forces begin to probe the Riverland's defenses along the Red Fork. They're repelled again and again. Cat questions ser Cleos Frey about what he saw in King's Landing. She understands why the Lannister's terms were rejected, but is fixated on the offer of Jamie for Sansa and Arya. Frey admits he only saw Sansa, but Cat's not sure what that means. Tywin comes in force and after multiple pitched battles he is repelled and retreats south, away from both Riverrun and Harrenhal. His destination is the headwaters of the Blackwater Rush, the river that runs to King's Landing. The people of Riverrun celebrate, but Cat's fears only increase.

Cat and crew arrive back at Riverrun to good news. Brienne has sworn to protect her. Robb's winning the war. Hoster is hanging on. Jamie is still captive and Ned's remains have been returned. Not withstanding some odd decisions by her brother Edmure, things are looking rosy. Mackelly and Simon get worried. Chapter Review: Catelyn Stark arrives back in the Riverrlands with her entourage, including Brienne of Tarth. Brienne pledges her future to Cat, with the proviso that when the time comes, Cat will release her to get revenge on Stannis for the murder of Renly. They're met by Martyn Rivers who fills her in on what they've missed. Robb winning victories. The West getting some of their own medicine. Twyin leaving Harrenhal to engage. At Riverrun, she learns that Tyrion's plan to free Jamie almost worked, and the Lannister's involved hang from the walls. The place is overrun with smallfolk seeking the security of the castle. Edmure has pulled the forces from the Twins to bolster Roose Bolton's number - this combined force will take the relatively unguarded Harrenhal. Edmure meanwhile will attack Tywin's army as it passes close to Riverrun. Cat visits her dying father, he mistakes her for her sister Lysa  and recalls forcing her to marry Jon Arryn not that “wretched boy." Cat is curious who he means. Ned's bones have been returned. Cat spends some time with them, but cannot see the man that was once there. She sends them on to Winterfell. Characters/Places/Names/Events: Catelyn Stark - Lady of Winterfell.

In today's episode, we talk episode 4, season 8 of Game of Thrones, "The Last of the Starks". We side-eye several things from the episode. We determine we don't trust people who always keep their hands in their pockets. Daenary's crew can never figure out Euron is coming because they're too busy getting their eyebrows arched. We also take a hard look at how we think this epic story is coming to a conclusion. Today's dessert is from Sublime Doughnuts!

Forget Game of Thrones, this year it was more like Game of Queens. The sixth season not only brought back recurring characters, but it brought out the strongest female characters we have seen yet, and what better way to celebrate the women of Game of Thrones, than to have the Chicks dish out on their favorite females? This episode, we delve into the world created by George R. R. Martin and relive our favorite moments, as well as the more unsavory ones. The Chicks talk about what gives a strong character her strength, what depths she’ll have to go, some fan theories, and much much more. So pour yourself a glass of wine, breath in the last of the Summer air, for Winter has arrived. The panel: Allison Isberg, Jen Wise, Kiri Evins
