Hi everyone and happy holiday 2020! It's been a hell of a year. Hell. Anyways, today, we're journeying back to 2012 to talk about Game of Thrones' most beloved episode: Season Two, Episode Nine's "Blackwater."

Andrew and Manu finally complete their long journey through the first season of "Game of Thrones." Scenes discussed include Yoren explaining the plan for "orphan Arry" to Arya, her first encounters with Hot Pie, Lommy, and Gendry, and the Old Bear revealing to Jon that he knows about his attempted escape. With a stirring speech, he urges Jon to stay loyal to the Night's Watch and join the great ranging beyond The Wall. Oh yeah, also dragons are born through sacrifice in a ridiculously good set of scenes with Dany, Jorah, and the Dothraki. NBD. It was okey dokey. Thank you all for joining us through this trek through season one, and we can't wait to get started on the next one. BryndenBFish tells how diehard ASOIAF fans can come to love Dany's similarly climactic scene with the Dothraki in season 6 George R.R. Martin explains back in a 1999 chat how Targaryen fire resistance is likely a miraculous one-time anomaly in the books Register with the discount code "Manu" for Con of Thrones (Nashville, July 12-14) iTunes link Google Play link
