“We should start back” sono le primissime parole de “Le Cronache del Ghiaccio e del Fuoco” di George R.R. Martin e noi abbiamo pensato di fare esattamente così. In questo episodio Tyrion osserva quasi da spettatore inerme l'inizio della fine della sua famiglia, i gloriosi Lannister di Casterly Rock. Se in un primo momento pensava che il suo matrimonio fosse la cosa peggiore che gli fosse mai capitata o stata imposta dall'alto, si deve subito ricredere quando, durante una chiacchierata di famiglia un po' fuori dalla routine Lannister, viene messo a conoscenza di un certo piano del padre per concludere la guerra: il Red Wedding. Sconvolto ma non troppo, Tyrion assiste a un acceso battibecco tra un Joffrey troppo eccitato al solo pensiero di presentare a Sansa la testa di Robb su un piatto d'argento e un Tywin impassibile e granitico mandarlo a letto senza cena. Rimasti soli, Tywin cerca di giustificarsi agli occhi del figlio, che di risposte in questo caso non ne ha. Stark, Martell, Targaryen, tutti gli stessi, tutti uguali di fronte alla violenza e alla brutalità del grande Tywin Lannister, pronto a tutto pur di preservare l'onore della sua casata. E che onore! Che eredità! Tyrion non riesce proprio a percepirla questa splendida vittoria decantata da tutto e tutti, soprattutto non può condividerla con la moglie. Anche se capisce la logica e le dinamiche dietro le decisioni di suo padre, la rabbia e la frustrazione portati dal suo matrimonio fallito e dal suo insoddisfacente lavoro sovrastano qualunque altro pensiero. Ed ecco perché, proprio la notte prima del matrimonio reale tra Joffrey e Margaery, Tyrion cerca rifugio tra le braccia di Shae, lontano dal gelido letto nuziale e dal disastro finanziario lasciatogli da Ditocorto, al buio tra le fauci delle antiche bestie Targaryen.

I'm joined in studio once again by Luke to break down episode 6 of House of the Dragon!

Jaime bids farewell to his uncle and to his father's remains, envies Loras Tyrell's horsemanship, and frets over his twin's drinking and her new friends. Simon and Mackelly think he might have a point.Chapter ReviewJaime Lannister bids farewell to his uncle Kevan who is leaving King's Landing with his son Lancel and the bones of his brother Tywin. The conversation doesn't go quite as Jaime hoped. Kevan is furious at both twins for their incest, the shame their bringing to the family, and Cersei's refusal to toe (Kevan's version of) the party line. Kevan is headed to the Riverlands where rumor has it that Sandor Clegane has joined forces with Beric Dondarrion to terrorize the citizens. Jaime's warning to be careful manages to sound like a threat.Jamie notes that King's Landing seems emptier now that the Tyrells have left. He sees Loras Tyrell practicing jousting with envy, the younger Kingsguard is the better horseman. He finds his sister in her cups and hanging with Pycelle, Taena Merryweather, and King Tommen. Lollys Stokeworth has given birth, and the child's stepfather (Bronn) has thoughtfully named the baby Tyrion. Cersei is not amused.Jaime dismisses everyone and tries to get Cersei to see sense with her new friends. Nobody knows the true loyalties of Qyburn, Taena, nor the Kettleblacks and these have become her confidantes. She doubles down wanting the comely but untested Aurane Waters to be the Master of Ship. He's getting concerning Aerys II-vibes from his sister. She prefers to think of herself as the female Tywin.Characters/Places/Names/Events:Jamie Lannister - Twin and lover to Cersei. Biological father of Tommen.Cersei Lannister - Mother to King Tommen, Queen Regent of the Seven Kingdoms.King Tommen Baratheon - Child king of the Seven Kingdoms.Tywin Lannister - Lord of Casterly Rock, recently murdered by his son Tyrion.Kevan Lannister - Brother to Tywin.Lancel Lannis DMR - Deweys Movie Reviews - PodcastWelcome to DMR - Deweys Movie Reviews - An Aussie podcast reviewing film & seriesListen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the Show.Support us: Buy from our store Buy us a Cup of Arbor Gold, or become a sustainer and receive cool perks Donate to our cause Use our exclusive URL for a free 30-day trial of Audible Buy or gift Marriott Bonvoy points through our affiliate link Rate and review us at Apple Podcasts, Spotify, podchaser.com, and elsewhere.Find us on social media: Discord Twitter @GhostsHarrenhal Facebook Instagram YouTube All Music credits to Ross Bugden:INSTAGRAM! : https://instagram.com/rossbugden/ (rossbugden) TWITTER! : https://twitter.com/RossBugden (@rossbugden) YOUTUBE! : https://www.youtube.com/wa...

Jaime might've bitten off more than he can chew with standing vigil over his father for seven days and nights. While battling sleep, he recalls his last conversation with Rhaegar Targaryen as well as his recent one with the chief undergaoler. He's visited by Cersei and again rejects her plea to be Hand of the King. Finally, he brokers a lunch for Cersei and feeds her exact steps to success. Simon and Mackelly wonder if she'll still muck it up.Chapter Review:While Jaime Lannister stands vigil over his father's body, he thinks of how if he'd known that Tyrion was going to kill their father he'd have stopped him. He thinks of the conversation he had with the chief undergaoler of the Red Keep dungeons. He gets the same story Cersei got regarding Rugen, the missing undergaoler. Jaime is furious to learn that the turnkeys who fell asleep the night of Tyrion's escape were murdered, by order of the queen.Said queen appears in person, as Jaime stands vigil. She's dressed as a commoner to escape notice. She says Kevan refused her offer of Hand of the King and that he knows about Jaime and Cersei's relationship. She begs Jaime to reconsider taking the role of Hand of the King. Jaime again refuses. Again, in no uncertain terms. A furious Cersei stalks off after unleashing a barrage of angry words toward Jaime.When the sun comes up, mourners again flood the Great Sept of Baelor. Tywin's body has continued to decay and the odor has intensified greatly. When Queen Cersei and King Tommen approach the corpse, Tommen gags and runs for the door. Jaime goes after him and consoles the little king. Queen Cersei arrives and admonishes her son for embarrassing her. Mace Tyrell is close on her heels. Jaime sets up a lunch between Cersei and Mace, to Cersei's annoyance. But Jaime explains that it's an opportunity to send Mace on a task out of the city, where he might get himself killed.Characters/Places/Names/Events:Jamie Lannister - Twin and lover to Cersei.

Busy day for Queen Cersei. She fends off mourners expressing regret and vying for her favor and works to keep the Tyrells off the Small Council. She bonds with Qyburn before finally having a highly contentious dinner with her uncle. Mackelly and Simon are in shock that Kevan went there.Chapter Review:Queen Cersei Lannister and King Tommen kneel before her father Tywin's body. The odor emanating from the late Hand of the King is not missed by those in attendance, so all are glad when the prayers end. Afterward, mourners approach Cersei to express condolences. Falyse Stokeworth offers that if her sister Lollys has a son, they'd like to name him Tywin. Cersei shoots the idea down.  She congratulates Lancel on his betrothal and his new lordship. He's not thrilled about either. He met with the high septon. Cersei reminds him of the power of silent prayer.She's approached by Mace Tyrell. He's angling to be named Hand of the King, but says his uncle Garth is on his way to King's Landing to serve as Master of Coin. Cersei has no interest in another Tyrell on the Small Council, so lies and says she's offered the role to Gyles Rosby. Mace is shocked, but his mother steers him away. Later,  she asks Rosby to be Master of Coin and to act as though it was offered yesterday.Back in the Red Keep, Qyburn says he's found a gold coin in the missing gaoler Rugen's chamber. It's from the Reach, which causes Cersei to question whether the Tyrells were involved in the plot to free Tyrion. Cersei plans to call for the headsman for Gregor Clegane. Qyburn asks to move Gregor to the dungeons, to continue to work with him.Her uncle Kevan arrives for dinner. Cersei asks him to be Tommen's Hand of the King. Kevan says he will, if he's also made King Regent. Cersei is to go back to Casterly Rock. She refuses. Kevan says he's taking his brother and going home. Tommen has his mother… and his father too.Characters/Places/Names/EventsCersei Lannister - Mother to King Tommen, Queen Regent of the Seven Kingdoms.King Tommen Baratheon - Child king of the Seven Kingdoms.Tywin Lannister - Lord of Casterly Rock, recently murdered by his son Tyrion.Jamie Lannister - Twin and lover to Cersei.

Cersei is awakened to the news that her father is dead. She can hardly believe it, but is not exactly broken up about it. At least her little brother is locked up and will be a head short by this evening. Ah, about that: he's escaped. Mackelly and Simon spot many of Cersei's character flaws, while ignoring their own.Chapter Review:Cersei dreams of sitting the Iron Throne. It's a great dream until Tyrion appears, and her clothes disappear. Then it takes a nasty turn. She gets cut and the Iron Throne fights her. Tyrion laughs. A maid wakes her. Not to save her from the dream but because the Kingsguard are here to let her know that Tywin is dead. Cersei's struggling to separate the dream from reality. But she begins to piece it together. She dresses and is escorted to the Tower of the Hand.En route, she ponders how she should react and how she and her rivals will use her father's death to their advantage. Jamie has followed the secret passage in the fireplace, and Loras Tyrell has been sent to check on King Tommen. She sends Boros Blount to confirm that Tyrion is still secured. She wants Pycelle to prepare her father's body, but he's been and gone and not even bothered to remove the quarrel from Lord Tywin's guts.Qyburn comes in and prepares the body, and asks what's to be done with Shae. Cersei hadn't even noticed her. She wants her removed quietly, so nobody gets the idea that Tywin was consorting with a prostitute. Jamie arrives back, no sign of the murderer. She offers him the role of Hand, he refuses. Uncle Kevan demands that they stop squabbling. Blount returns with news that Tyrion is escaped. Cersei recalls a prophecy in which the Valonqar will choke the life from her.Characters/Places/Names/Events:Cersei Lannister - Queen regent and mother to King Tommen.Tywin Lannister - Lord of Casterly Rock, recently murdered by his son Tyrion.Jamie Lannister - Twin and lover to Cersei.

“We should start back” sono le primissime parole de “Le Cronache del Ghiaccio e del Fuoco” di George R.R. Martin e noi abbiamo pensato di fare esattamente così. In questo episodio Tyrion si risveglia in una nuova era. I Lannister hanno preso pieno possesso del governo, e con i Tyrell stanno organizzando quello che sarà, secondo alcuni, il matrimonio del secolo. Ancora convalescente e in preda a dolori allucinanti, Tyrion chiede degli aggiornamenti sulla situazione in città, perché mentre era praticamente in coma il mondo è andato avanti senza di lui. È Ser Bronn delle Acque Nere che gli racconta tutto, o quasi. Lord Tywin ha preso il suo legittimo posto da Primo Cavaliere del Re, Cersei è più paranoica del previsto, ma sta comunque facendo la sua parte, i Tyrell sono i nuovi eroi della capitale e gli uomini di Tyrion, tra cui clan delle montagne e Ser Bywater, sono morti o sono stati cacciati da chi ha rimpiazzato il giovane Lannister. Tyrion è furioso, pieno di collera verso il padre e verso tutti coloro che non riconoscono il suo contributo alla vittoria. Non dandosi per vinto e desideroso di uscire da quella che considera una cella, Tyrion si veste e con l'aiuto di Bronn e Podrick va a trovare suo padre Tywin nelle stanze della Torre del Primo Cavaliere del Re, le stesse che poche settimane fa erano state le sue. Tra una battuta e l'altra, di cui nemmeno una riesce a rompere il glaciale temperamento di Tywin, Tyrion fa un errore madornale: chiedere la sua legittima eredità, chiedere Casterly Rock. Vediamo Tywin scaldarsi in pochissimi secondi, e per quanto la richiesta di Tyrion sia legittima, Lord Lannister nega al figlio l'eredità che gli spetta di diritto e lo accusa di essere una creatura depravata e malvagia, priva di pudore e riguardo per il suo sangue. No, Casterly Rock non sarà mai sua, né Tywin permetterà a Tyrion di trasformarla nel suo bordello personale. Il tutto finché lui rimarrà in vita, dopo... beh dopo si vedrà.

“We should start back” sono le primissime parole de “Le Cronache del Ghiaccio e del Fuoco” di George R.R. Martin e noi abbiamo pensato di fare esattamente così. In questo episodio Tyrion sogna, o forse no... L'avevano trovato insieme agli altri corpi giù nelle celle, a putrefarsi al buio. E mentre la vita là fuori andava avanti e i meriti dati a chiunque tranne lui, Tyrion marciva in un letto non suo tra atroci dolori e incubi di battaglia. Sognava campi pieni di morti, sorelle del silenzio e grigi mantelli. Ricordava nel sogno Ser Mandon e malediceva se stesso per il terrificante spettacolo che gli si parava di fronte ogni volta. Sognava anche Tysha... Questi erano sogni bellissimi. In un cottage in riva al mare, lui e lei a fare l'amore, giovani e innamorati. Ma era passato tanto tempo e lei era la puttana di Jaime. Tra un incubo e l'altro, Tyrion pensa di vedere sua sorella e suo padre al capezzale, poi Varys e Ditocorto. Riesce a riacquistare coscienza solo dopo tempo. Comanda Maestro Ballabar di mostrargli le sue ferite e chiama Pod a sé per rimettere insieme i pezzi. Lui è un leone della Rocca, un Lannister di Casterly Rock, nessuno deve vederlo debole.

Jaime has a curious goodbye with Arya Stark. He refuses to leave the Kingsguard, despite a strong push from his family. He resists an advance from his sister, which results in a heated argument between the two. Finally, he gives Brienne a jaw-dropping gift and then tasks her with a surprising mission in return. Simon and Mackelly squint hard at “Arya Stark.”Chapter Review:Jaime Lannister grows bored of watching the king sign documents that offer rewards or punishment to houses, for their roles in the war. He returns to the White Sword Tower. On his way, he runs into a girl claiming to be Arya Stark. Jaime is skeptical.Cersei waits for him in his chambers. She begs him to talk to their father about Tywin's plan to send her back to Casterly Rock, effectively separating her from her son Tommen.

She throws insults as she storms out.Jaime calls for Ser Loras Tyrell and Brienne of Tarth. Loras admits Brienne might be telling the truth about Renly Baratheon's death.

It's not changed that much, still stinks. They've learned en-route of the deaths at the weddings (the red and the purple). Jaime is struggling to find the correct emotion.

Jaime arranges for Brienne to be imprisoned (temporarily, for her own good). Jaime visits the sept, where Joffrey lies in state. He finds his twin mourning over their dead child.

Tyrion has an awkward dinner with Sansa then gets lost in Littlefinger's financial books. He then has a family gathering filled with news of Robb Stark's death and his family's involvement, as well as Tywin's plan for Gregor Clegane. Throughout it all, King Joffrey is rotten, but this time he attacks Tywin. That does not go over well. Mackelly and Simon ponder the punishments for our dear king.Chapter Review:Tyrion Lannister dines with his wife Sansa Stark. Awkwardness still reigns between them. Afterward, Sansa goes to the godswood and Tyrion digs into the crown's financial books maintained by Petyr Baelish.He's summoned to the Tower of the Hand.

Tyrion has a busy day. He surveys post-battle repair needs, meets with Symon Silver Tongue, inspects two new family heirlooms, is told by his father to do the impossible, gets marital advice from his father, and participates in a discussion regarding the Night's Watch. None of it is going to make his life any easier. Simon and Mackelly pour him a tall cup of Arbor Gold.Chapter Review:Tyrion Lannister surveys the damages done during the battle. The repair costs will well exceed what the crown has in its coffers. Before returning to the Red Keep, he and Bronn make a detour to visit the singer Symon Silver Tongue, in a run-down wine sink. Tyrion offers to pay the man to take his act on a tour of Essos. However, Symon instead tells Tyrion that if Tyrion can't get him a spot in the singing competition at the royal wedding, he'll sing a song about Tyrion's affair with Shea for all to hear. Afterward, Tyrion tells Bronn to make sure Symon's body is never found.Next, Tyrion learns he's been summoned by his father. Tywin Lannister shows Tyrion two new Valyrian steel swords he's commissioned. One is for Joff and the other for Jamie. Next order of business is the city repairs. Tyrion reports what he's found and that there's not enough coin to pay for the repairs. Tywin tells him he'll find the coin or Tywin will find someone who can. The topic then turns toward Tyrion's marriage to Sansa Stark. Tywin wants it consummated immediately. Tyrion asks about his father's betrothal plans for Cersei and Willas Tyrell. Tywin informs him that Mace Tyrell rejected the notion.As Tywin begins to mention replacement suitors, Grand Maester Pycelle arrives. He's gotten a letter from Castle Black asking for more men. Tywin couldn't care less about the Night's Watch's woes. However, he does see an opportunity to put a Lannister loyalist in charge of the Black Brothers. He wants Pycelle to respond that the crown can't help at the moment but King Joffrey sends his best wishes to his faithful friend Lord Janos Slynt.Characters/Places/Names/Events:Tyrion Lannister - Youngest son of Tywin Lannister.

He suggests she's worth a lot in ransom, hoping it will keep her save.When the group meets up with the main body of the Brave Companions, Vargo Hoat claims Jamie as his captive.

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.

“We should start back” sono le primissime parole de “Le Cronache del Ghiaccio e del Fuoco” di George R.R. Martin e noi abbiamo pensato di fare esattamente così. In questo episodio vediamo Tyrion e i clan scendere dalla High Road ed entrare nel campo militare di Lord Tywin Lannister nelle Terre dei Fiumi. Ironia vuole che Lord Lannister abbia installato la sua temporanea dimora alla Locanda all'Incrocio, sì proprio QUELLA locanda, la stessa in cui Tyrion è stato catturato settimane prima. Al concilio di guerra ci viene presentato l'inarrivabile Tywin Lannister, Lord di Casterly Rock, Scudo di Lannisport e Protettore dell'Ovest. Possente, dorato e intoccabile, Tywin tiene in pugno il suo concilio solo con lo sguardo e riesce a fare suoi i clan del figlio minore in poco più di due frasi. Promette loro gloria, armi e oro e Tyrion non può far altro che guardare le sue conquiste scivolargli tra le dita come se non fossero mai avvenute.

For three years, the conflicts in the Stepstones region have escalated. Lord Corlys and Prince Daemon battle Craghas Drahar and his pirates without support from the Crown, which remains neutral regarding the southern realm situation. Meanwhile, King Viserys plans a great hunt to celebrate his and pregnant Queen Alicent's son Aegon's second birthday. Rhaenyra resents the attention her father continually heaps on Aegon. Their relationship is further strained by the ailing king's insistence that Rhaenyra marry to form a strong alliance and protect their lineage. Among many suitors, Lord Jason Lannister of Casterly Rock, seeks to wed Rhaenyra, though she refuses. Lord Strong recommends that Rhaenyra wed Ser Laenor Velaryon, Lord Corlys' son, to repair the rift between their two houses. On his brother Hobart's advice, Otto urges Alicent to persuade the king to name Aegon as heir, furthering the Hightowers' power and prestige. Viserys assures Rhaenyra she will always remain the heir and can choose who to marry. Also, the king relents and sends aid to the Stepstones as Daemon, Lord Corlys, his brother Vaemond, and the remaining House Velaryon soldiers fight a losing battle against Triarchy forces. Ser Laenor arrives on his dragon Seasmoke and helps defeat the enemy. Daemon kills the Crabfeeder. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/tradepaperbacks/message --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/rangerryan/message

Tyrion visits Lord Varys in his chambers. He learns about changes on the small council and the kingsguard, and about the long list of people spying on him for his family. He coordinates a rendezvous with Shea, where he plans to break it off with her. Instead, he reaffirms that he'll keep and protect her. Simon and Mackelly slowly shake their heads.Chapter Review:Tyrion Lannister makes an unannounced visit to Lord Varys' chambers in the Red Keep. When Varys arrives, he apologizes to Tyrion for not visiting him in his sick bed. His nose was just too gross to look at.

He's also reinstated Ser Boros Blount to the Royal Kingsguard.The conversation turns to Ser Mandon Moore, but despite Tyrion's hope's, Varys provides no additional information about the man than what Tyrion already knows. Varys informs Tyrion that a great deal of people are actively spying on him for Cersei and that Varys himself has been tasked with spying on Tyrion for his lord father.Tyrion changes the subject. He wants Varys to plan a meet-up between Tyrion and Shae. The agreed upon location is determined to be these very chambers. Later that night, Shae and Tyrion get down to business. Afterward, he tries to break it off with Shae, explaining that it's now too dangerous for her with his father in town. She refuses to discuss it, and redirects the conversation to the royal wedding. She's gotten news of the amazing festivities planned, from the singer Symon Silver Tongue. She wants to go. Tyrion puts his foot down. Too dangerous. She relents, but asks that he keep her and keep her from harm. Against his better judgment, he agrees. Later, he then sends Bronn to find Symon before anyone else does.Characters/Places/Names/Events:Tyrion Lannister - Youngest son of Tywin Lannister. Brother to queen Cersei and Jamie Lannister.

We're already halfway through Season 7, as we approach one of the best episodes that occured in the latest part of the show's run, Season 7, Episode 3, "The Queen's Justice." This was a monumental episode for several different reasons, the most notable one being that this episode finally saw the long awaited first meeting between Jon Snow & Daenerys Targaryen, with Jon arriving at Dragonstone to treat with Daenerys and attempt to explain to her the threat from the dead, only to discover that Daenerys is hell bent on conquering all of the seven kingdoms, including bringing the North back into the fold. This episode also contains Cersei Lannister's most gangster moment since blowing up the Sept of Baelor, with Euron presenting the Sand Snakes to her as his gift to her, and Cersei getting to exact her long awaited revenge on Ellaria for Myrcella's murder in a scene that is equal parts jaw dropping as it is horrifying. The episode is just filled from top to bottom with incredible moments, characters reuniting and more. Bran finally arrives home in Winterfell and reunites with Sansa, only to shake her with his newfound powers. Jorah is cured of Greyscale and bids goodbye to Sam, who's both rewarded and punished for it. Tyrion enacts his plan to have the Unsullied seize Casterly Rock, only for them to be waylayed and trapped inland as Jaime has taken the full force of the Lannister army to Highgarden, taking out yet another one of Daenerys' allies, but not before Olenna gives him one last revelation before she departs from the world and the show. It's yet another high stakes episode as we inch even closer to the battle for the throne.

Tyrion gets a visit from newly-knighted Ser Bronn. Bronn lacks bedside manner and takes Tyrion step-by-step through how Tyrion has lost everything he's built while in King's Landing. Tyrion then has an equally unpleasant conversation with his father, where Tywin holds nothing back about why Tyrion will never be lord of Casterly Rock. Simon and Mackelly find something interesting to stare at on the floor.Chapter Review:Tyrion Lannister is recovering from his wounds suffered at the hand of Ser Mandon Moore of the Royal Kingsguard, during the Battle of the Blackwater. His top sellsword aide Bronn pays him a visit. He's now Ser Bronn of the Blackwater, having been knighted by command of Tywin Lannister. The move irks Tyrion, but the bad news is only beginning. He also learns he's officially been replaced as Hand of the King by his father, his trusted Commander of the City Watch Jacelyn Bywater is dead, his mountain clans won't be returning to the city, Alayaya was released but not before being whipped, and he's lost his control over Tommen in Rosby.Tyrion decides it's time to get out of bed and pay a visit to his father. He finds him in Tyrion's old chambers in the Tower of the Hand, now occupied by his father. Tywin is busy writing important letters but puts them aside to talk with his youngest son. He tells Tyrion that he's sent men to trap and eliminate a Stark force headed for Duskendale.The men disagree over Tyrion's level of involvement in saving the city. Tywin puts much of it on himself, the Tyrells, and Cersei. Although, he does give Tyrion some credit, and asks what he wants as his reward. Tyrion cuts to the chase. He wants his father to publicly name him heir to Casterly Rock. Tywin's not having it. He's tired of the prostitutes Tyrion continually associates with and he won't have him bringing them into Casterly Rock. In fact, the next one he finds in Tyrion's bed, he'll hang. Characters/Places/Names/Events:Tyrion Lannister - Youngest son of Tywin Lannister. Brother to queen Cersei and Jamie Lannister.

Tyrion recovers from the wounds he sustained in the Battle of the Blackwater. He's horribly disfigured and having wild fever dreams. Mackelly and Simon sniff the boiled wine.Chapter Review:Tyrion dreams of death and carrion. He is in a dungeon with other dying men. In his dream, he is mouthless and the city gates are barred to him. He lies in his own filth and seems to have no help or hope.He wakes briefly in the Tower of the Hand in his own bed. What is dream and reality become blurred. He is visited by Cersei, Tywin, Littlefinger, and Varys. He dreams of feasts in his honor, where songs are sung of his bravery and he is knighted by his brother Jamie. He wakes again, but a maester forces him to drink milk of the poppy, and sleep claims him once more. Now he dreams of his happy honeymoon with Tysha, how loving and sweet those times seem to him. The next time he wakes he refuses more drugs. Tyrion demands to see his wounds. Maester Ballabar advises otherwise, but Tyrion insists. His bandages are removed to reveal a terrible scar across his face, involving the loss of most of his nose. He also learns that he's in Maegor's Holdfast so that Cersei can personally oversee his care. He's lost his position as his father has taken the role of Hand of the King, having saved the city. Pod updates him that Bronn is now Ser Bronn, and he confirms that Ser Mandon Moore is dead.Characters/Places/Names/Events:Tyrion Lannister - Youngest son of Tywin Lannister.

Tyrion wakes fully, and finds himself on the receiving end of one piece of bad news after the other, culminating in a meeting with his father where Tywin essentially disowns him in all but the official sense. Meanwhile, Davos is having a real moment of reckoning while stranded, starving and dying, on a rock in the middle of nowhere after the Battle Of The Blackwater.

Get your moleskin notebook ready. It's time for We Make Books. We Make Books Ep. 71 Transcription Kaelyn: Today we're talking about villains and antagonists, and why they're not actually the same thing, except in the cases that they are. Rekka: Yes, exactly. K [overlapping]: [laughing] R: Perfect. I think that nails it. Sometimes they're not the same thing, sometimes they are. K: Yeah, and we'll kinda get to this but, most villains are antagonists - most, not all. Not all antagonists are villains. And in fact you will likely, in any given story, have multiple antagonists, not all of whom are the villain. I went through and really dug up all of this stuff; shockingly, the word ‘hero' is the one with the most definitions attached to it, and most different con - R: We're not talking about heroes today! We're not! K [overlapping]: Well we - but we have to, because we don't get villains without heroes, and we don't get antagonists without protagonists. Both villains and antagonists are defined and really only exist so that they can oppose or create conflict for the hero or protagonist. It kinda makes you wonder, if left to their own devices, maybe they're just a mad scientist in a lab somewhere. R: Maybe they're the hero of their own story. K: Yeah, and then suddenly someone shows up to fight them and now they're the bad guy. [laughing] R: “I was perfectly lawful and good until you showed up!” K: Exactly, yes. The basic difference between a villain and an antagonist is that an antagonist is somebody who is there to contend or oppose the main character, typically the protagonist of the story. They're there to create opposition. A villain is doing that, but they're evil. R: [laughs] K [laughing]: What they're doing is, the opposition that they're creating is either causing harm, causing suffering, will destroy the human race. It could be something more on a micro scale, where they've kidnapped the daughter of the main character; maybe they're trying to get their lemonade stand shut down so that they can sell lemonade that's gonna turn people into lizard people. An antagonist at the surface is just somebody who's doing things that's causing problems for the protagonist. They don't necessarily have to be evil. R: They could just be a rival. K: Yeah. Or any number of other things we're gonna get to here, but. And in fact as I mentioned, as you're reading a book, you're frequently gonna come across antagonists that are not actually evil. There's gonna be an antagonist who's the villain who may be evil at some point, not always, but there will be people that are antagonists. I will use an example that we love to use: Gideon the Ninth. Harrow definitely serves as an antagonist to Gideon through the book. But Harrow is not evil. R: Right. K: That's a great example of a villain operating without the audience knowing that the protagonist is coming into direct conflict with them because, we don't really find out who the villain of the story is until the very very end of it. Then we can look back and go like ‘Ah yes I see all of these things now.' The villain in the story, and spoilers if you haven't read Gideon the Ninth, but also if you listen to this podcast and you still haven't read it - R: You obviously are never going to read it at this point. K [laughing]: Yeah. The villain turns out to be Dulcinia, who is impersonating another character - and I stayed away, when writing notes for this and getting into the philosophical of what is evil and what is not - for these purposes we're gonna call her motives evil, in that she is trying to hunt down and destroy a lot of different people for her own reasons. The conflict that we come into there actually causes the antagonist and the protagonist in this, Gideon and Harrow, to sort of team up to oppose the actual villain, which by the way is a very common writing trope. Antagonists are a necessary component to any story even if they are not the source of central conflict. R: Yeah, because - and I know you're gonna lean into this example - but in Harry Potter, Draco Malfoy feels like he is central to everything in Harry's life, even though most of the time he just shows up to spew some awful thing he's overheard his parents say and then go away again. K: Draco is a good example of an antagonist who goes through a lot of different forms. Draco in the first few books of the series, he kinda shows up to make some comments and then leaves. He's not really doing much. Even in the second book when he's talking about the Chamber of Secrets and the heir of Slytherin and he actually is sitting around going ‘God I wish there was a way for me to help him' - well, okay, that's what minions do. Small antagonists. R: Most of the time everything that Draco Malfoy does or says is just to reinforce the fact that he's a jerk. K: Yeah, Draco just sorta pops up to remind all of us that there's Voldemort out there and his followers are terrible, because we don't see or interact directly with Voldemort for a lot of these books, so Draco's there to kind of remind us that he's out there. But then we finally get to book six, when Draco is given a very specific task to do: kill Dumbledore. And those listening at home, ‘okay well doesn't that make him a villain?' Well - does it? Because first of all he doesn't really actually wanna do this, but he has to. Second, he doesn't do it. At the end, he's not the one who carries this out. So again, everything's relative here. Because to Harry, he is just this thing that Harry feels he needs to track down and find out what's happening. You could go so far as to argue that Harry is creating his own conflict here, because if he just left Draco alone and went about his life trying to find these Horcruxes, things would've gone a lot smoother. R: [laughs] K: Dumbledore keeps telling Harry, ‘Hey. I got the Draco situation under control, don't worry about it.' Not in so many words and maybe if he had, again, things would've gone differently - R: You know what, communicating clearly is the antagonist of a plot. K: Okay. So that's interesting that you say that, because antagonists are not always people. R: Mhm. K: Antagonists can be certain external factors that the protagonist has to contend with. A good example of this is nature, in something like the movie Castaway. It's not evil - R [overlapping]: Okay. I was gonna say Deep Impact, like the meteor is not a villain, the meteor is an antagonist. K: Yeah. Exactly. It's not evil. The meteor or nature or something is not saying like, ‘Yes, I will destroy the world, and then also Tom Hanks.' [chuckles] R: If it can twirl its mustache, it might be a villain. K: It's just there, and it's something that the characters have to contend with. It can also be something supernatural; the thing I thought of off the top of my head was The Nothing in NeverEnding Story. It's operating unconsciously, if you will, in the sense that it doesn't seem to have nefarious purposes. It's just existing, and it's just growing. The characters are opposing it, they're trying to find a way to stop it, but it's not evil in and of itself. R: A hero trying to stop global warming is not fighting a villain. Unless - K: Ah, there's some villains in there. R: Yeah never mind, I take all that back. K: An antagonist can also be something like a society or an unjust system that the hero has to live and function in. The example that came to mind was Les Miserables. The main character, Jean Valjean, is sent to prison for stealing a loaf of bread because his sister and her children were starving. And we as the audience are meant to understand here that, while Javert - I believe is the name of the officer - is doing his duty by arresting him because he did commit theft, we understand that it is the dire circumstances of his society and his country that caused him to do this. His whole struggle and story is not only trying to lift himself up and overcome this system, but trying to one, make good on people he had hurt and things he had done in the process of this, but two, help other people that are also stuck in this system by hopefully coming up with a way to better it in the long run. I won't say overthrow it because he actively avoids that whole - R [overlapping]: Right. K: - part of the process in this story, but he is in his own way trying to get things to a better place. R: Yeah. K: I went through and just like, some ideas of antagonists who are not necessarily villains. We talked about Draco Malfoy - I will go to my grave saying that Draco is not a villain, he is first convenient exposition, and then an antagonist and an unwilling one at that. One of the ones I also thought of was Catra, from - R: Ah! K: - the first half of She-Ra, she kind of serves as sort of like a minion antagonist. R: Uh-huh. K: Her character evolves, and we'll talk about that as we continue to go through this. But she's an excellent example of just an antagonist. R: And again kind of like that rival thing - K: Yes. R: - like in anime or certain role playing video games, you always have the rival show up, and then by the end you are working with them to fight the actual villain. K: Another category is the conflict creators: people who are not evil, they don't have nefarious plots, but they're making the life of the main character unbearable. Mr. Darcy - R [overlapping]: [giggling] K: - from Pride and Prejudice is an excellent example of this. I threw the Lannisters on the list, and I'm sticking with the books - R: Right. K [laughing]: Not the TV show. R: So in this version, the Lannisters haven't managed to accomplish much yet. K: Yeah, exactly. Because, really, what are they doing? Are their motives evil? No, their motives are promoting and securing the prosperity and wellbeing of their family as much as possible. Now, they're doing things that again, evil being relative, we might look at this and go ‘oh they're evil.' I will choose the beheading of Ned Stark as a good example there. That's only evil to us because we like Ned Stark. R: Right. K: Because we look at him and see a good, just man who is being undone by his own kindness and mercy. The Lannisters look at him and go, ‘this guy's an idiot, and not only that he's a threat.' R: Mhm. K: ‘If we send him to the wall do you think his family is gonna go, ‘ah ok no problem, no harm no foul.'' Yeah, Joffrey's an impulsive little shit, who should not have done that and obviously messed up the plans of a lot of different third parties there, but from the perspective of the Lannisters he's right. R: Mhm. K: There was no reason to spare Ned Stark's life. R: It does start with the two incestuous Lannisters pushing a child out of a window though, so. K: Yes, and we can - that's a whole other episode about - R [overlapping]: [laughing] K: Well, trust me, I could do a whole episode about the evolution in literature, writing, and various media of using sexually-based components of character's personalities to demonstrate that they're evil. R: Mhm. K: But yes, this isn't to say that Jamie and Cersei themselves aren't evil, but the Lannisters as a whole are conflict creators. R: Okay. K: And within there they're all opposing each other in certain ways, but they're all kind of presenting a united front. R: The Lannister corporate machine. K: Yeah exactly. Casterly Rock incorporated. They're all presenting a united front in the promotion and wellbeing of their own family. There's obviously a lot of stuff going on there that we the audience know about, but pretend you're an outside observer in Westeros. Apart from some slight patricide - R: [laughs] K: - but that's okay, because that was the member of the family who we just barely put up with and obviously there was something wrong with him and we probably should've thrown him down a well a long time ago. R: Are you talking about Tyrion or are you talking about Tywin - K: Both, but from the perspective of the Lannisters, Tyrion. [laughing] R [overlapping]: [laughing] K: You can recover from that one, because of course there was something off about him, look at him. Never mind that he's the smartest and, actually, most caring member of their family, but y'know. That's not important, apparently. I made up an antagonist category that I'm calling “general pains in the ass.”  R: [laughing] K: [laughs] Where they are not necessarily doing anything, but their existence is just infuriating to the point that it's creating conflict for the protagonist. The one that I always love to point to is Gary from Pokémon. R: Mm. K: Who's just Ash's rival but it's a very hilariously one-sided rivalry.  R: Right, right. K: [laughs] The other one that I think is very good is actually: Sailor Moon, Tuxedo Mask in the anime. Because he is also trying to get the rainbow crystals.  R: Right. K: In a pain-in-the-ass antagonist - I would throw Rei in there. R: [laughs] Yeah, there you go. K: Again, the anime - the manga did not go into this, but they're constantly fighting over who's gonna be the better this-or-that, and who's doing the better job, and again, it creates conflict for Usagi because Rei is hyper-confident and very good at this, and Usagi is not, at all.  R: Right. It has more to do with Rei just constantly criticizing her and making her progression slower than anything else.  K: Yeah, you'll notice there's a lot of overlap here because apart from being a general pain in the ass in that scenario, Rei is also a conflict creator.  R: Yeah. K: The last one that gets a little philosophical is the protagonist themselves. Holden Caulfield is of course the standout example here, but I would take anybody that can't get out of their own way and put them on this list. One of the thoughts I came up with was Anakin Skywalker.  R: Okay. K: More with the Clone Wars TV show as a better example of that, but you certainly see it through the prequels as well. Has a set of morals and code that he lives by that is in direct conflict with what the Jedi are teaching him and telling him to do. R: Mhm. K: And that's an excellent case study into a descent into villany by having a singular goal and taking more and more extreme measures to meet it. R: Like Draco, there's somebody that is coaching him and trying to lead him in a direction that he wouldn't have chosen on his own almost at any point.  K: I'm not sure I agree with that, because what we see Anakin do over and over again, his singular motivation-- and this is, by the way, his antagonistic component-- is “protect my friends and loved ones.” R: Mhm. K: And so he's willing to take more and more extreme measures that in some cases are going to get him in trouble, he's going to have to go in front of the Jedi Council and go ‘I'm really sorry I did that, but I did save Obi-Wan, so I think it all works out in the end.' And you've got Yoda silently screaming in his head, going ‘This is not what Jedi are supposed to do, this is dangerous.' R: Yeah. K: But then also, it gets him to a point where his moral code is coming into conflict with what is important to him. So, yes I killed a bunch of people on a spaceship, but I saved all of the Senators and the Jedi on it. Well, now I've killed a bunch of children because I thought it was going to save my pregnant wife.  R: Mhm. K: And we're getting to a point where he can't differentiate those two things from one another because in the end you're still saving something or someone important.  R: Right. But I still think that - K [overlapping]: Oh, yes, having Palpatine - R [overlapping]: that progression -  K: - breathing in his ear for the whole time was not helping. [laughing] R: Yeah, that was an outside influence that encouraged that progression. K: Absolutely, yeah. So, that's another antagonistic force - that is an external factor, people attempting to influence the protagonist.  R: Mhm. K: So, we talked a lot about antagonists, and as we said, most villains - not all - most villains are antagonists but not all antagonists are villains. In order to be a villain, you gotta be evil. You have to be a quote-unquote “bad guy.” And you've gotta be doing something that is bad, something that's hurting either a people, or an entity, maybe nature, or a planet itself. Typically, you've got selfish motivations here. R: Mhm. K: Sometimes you have no motivations, and we'll get into that, because the pure evil villains are one of my favorite villains. But, villains are working to destroy a heroic purpose or protagonist. They may not know that that's what they're doing, but they're doing it. Some villains go their whole story without realizing that there's somebody working their way up to opposing them, because their protagonist is such a little miniscule blip on the scale of this evil plan here that they didn't even know someone was opposing them. Villains, they have to be bad. They don't exist in a vacuum. Y'know, we used the idea of the mad scientist who doesn't know he's the bad guy -  R: Mhm. K: - until someone shows up to fight him. If that guy's just left in his lab making some little itty bitty Frankenstein monsters to run around and help him with his experiments and things, then he never leaves and nothing bad ever happens, and the new Frankenstein monsters are happy with their existence, he's not a villain! [laughs] However, if he's oppressing those little Frankenstein monster guys, or maybe they're escaping out into the world and doing bad things to people that they encounter, that then starts to move him into the realm of villain.  R: Now, what if he's in his lab and his experiments are destroying the planet outside the lab, but he never leaves and he never realizes, and the Frankenstein [ed.: monster]s are happy?  K: Yeah, so this is where it gets weird, because what he's doing is evil but he's not doing it on purpose.  R: Mm. K: I'm trying to think what the classification for that would be. An unwilling villain, essentially. Maybe more of an antagonist at that point. I'm trying to come up with an example of something where somebody shows up and informs a scientist or creator doing something that what they're doing is having a negative impact on the world around it and they had no idea.  R: There is an episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation where they go to a planet where the people on the planet basically take some of the children off the Enterprise because they can't have children themselves, and the crew is able to convince them that it's their very powerful computer system that's causing radiation that's preventing them from being healthy, and that it would happen to the kids too if they stayed, and so on and so forth.  K: Yeah, I'm trying to - like, this one isn't necessarily as good an example, but in Ender's Game, at the very end we find out that the conflict, this whole giant conflict, kind of began almost on a misunderstanding that the human population encountered alien life in the form of bugs that were a hivemind.  R: Mhm. K: And the bugs killed all of the humans they encountered not understanding that there was a life form out there that wasn't a hivemind. Because from their perspective, it didn't matter if a few soldiers got killed, they were just essentially vessels for the larger collective consciousness. They didn't understand the - R [overlapping]: Right. Individuality. K: Yeah. So, that started them as an antagonist, but then this war escalates and escalates and, that one I don't know if we can come up with “villain” and whether sides are evil, at that point, but. With villains, they might not even need to know that they're directly opposing the main character. The biggest difference between the villain and the antagonist is that sometimes, but not always, the antagonist forms more of a plot role. It's somebody to be there to create conflict, to move the story along, or to motivate the protagonist. It's somebody who may provide opportunities for growth for the protagonist as well, again through opposition. K: Everything is opposition and conflict for antagonists. Antagonists, they can be friends or friendly rivals of the protagonist, but they are a plot role, they are helping to develop and move the character and the stories along. A villain is a character type. This is a potentially necessary component of the story, depending on the type of story that you're telling, and they have a role to serve within that. They have to be the central point of conflict for evil reasons, to give the character something moral and good and just to fight for and overcome. If this sounds contrived, or this sounds pedantic, I don't know what to tell you because this is literature. [laughs] R: [laughing] Yeah. K: This is - you will find this across all of human history in literature, the conflict between good and evil. That is the central focus of it. And listen, what we consider good and what we consider evil varies from culture to culture, time to time. Heroes don't fit a certain set of criteria across all cultures. If you go back and read any Greek myth, and what they consider to be heroes, most of these guys were assholes. Like, really bad people. But they did heroic things, and they lived in ways that were acceptable to the ancient Greeks.  R: Mhm. K: So therefore they were heroes. The Greeks are really interesting in that they did not write what was idealized, but what was true. So even though we know that the way they conducted their society, the way they lived and acted, is abhorrent to us, at the time it was acceptable. Not only acceptable, but encouraged.  R: Right. Perhaps even seen as heroic behavior.  K [overlapping]: To that end—yeah. To that end, evil is the same way.  R: Mhm. K: I'm gonna throw one last monkey wrench [laughs] into this - the villain, as we kept saying, most villains but not all are antagonists, because sometimes the villain's the protagonist. The villain is only the antagonist when they're not the main character of the story, when they're just serving as the sense of conflict. But sometimes in stories, the villain, who is evil and is doing evil things, is the protagonist, is the main character that we're following. Two of my favorite examples of this are Light from Death Note and Dexter from Dexter. Light is a teenager with a god complex who I wouldn't even say “starts off trying to do right in the world,” because if you watch the series really he's just experimenting using bad people until he gets the plan figured out. But, for those who are unfamiliar, Death Note is an outstanding anime that I highly recommend about a teenager who comes across a notebook that is stolen from a Japanese death god and learns that the names he writes in the notebook will die. And he gets more and more specific about specifying “will die at this time,” “will die in this way,” et cetera. And enters into this whole cat-and-mouse psychological thriller thing with himself and the police that are trying to stop this serial killer that they don't understand.  R: Right. K: The whole thing turns into this god complex of him establishing rules of what he thinks are right and wrong and threatening the entire world with what would basically be instantaneous death at his whim if they don't adhere to it. So let's be clear, Light is evil. He is killing people because they're not acting the way he wants them to. But he is the main character and the protagonist of the story, and if you watch it you find yourself cheering for him outwitting the police, outwitting this detective. One of the detectives, by the way, is his father. And you're still goin,g “Come on, Light, you can get yourself out of this one!” Dexter Morgan from Dexter is another good example. Dexter is a serial killer. Dexter has kill rooms where he duct tapes people to tables, ritualistically stabs them, chops the bodies up, and drops them in the water off the coast of Miami.  R: Mhm. K: Dexter also has a complex set of morality that he adheres to, and Dexter is a little bit different because he doesn't want to do these things, he wishes he wasn't like this, but he knows that he is and there's nothing he can do about it. The books are a little stranger about this than the TV show. So he's channeling his awfulness into only killing murderers.  R: Right, and the rules of morality that he follows are not actually his morals.  K: Yeah. R: They were given to him. K: Yes. As a way to hopefully help maintain and control him. But he's still killing people. And he's still operating outside the justice system. He's very careful about gathering all the evidence and knowing “yes, this person's definitely a murderer,” but he's still serving as judge, jury, and executioner without giving anyone the benefit of due process. In his mind it doesn't matter why you killed somebody. You killed somebody. And it's coming less from a place of morality than an opportunity to be an outlet for his own base urges. Villains can be protagonists. Just because somebody is the main character of the story doesn't necessarily mean that they're good.  R: In fact, I feel a little bit better about some books thinking about it that way. [laughs] K: Yeah, absolutely. And, look, there's a whole thing you can get into with the hero vs. the antihero, and what is considered heroic and what is considered acceptable; god, I think there's been entire books written about this, with Superman as a core component there. It is very nuanced to kind of sort these things out of where the line is between hero and villain, and even more so where the line is between antagonist and villain. At what point do you stop being just an inconvenience or a pain in the butt that someone's gotta deal with and become somebody who is an active threat to not just the protagonist but potentially those around them as well? R: I know a book can have antagonists and villains, we've established several that do. Can you have a book with more than one villain?  K: Absolutely!  R: How do they not just sort of shrink down to become antagonists, then, if there's more than one? Or is it just because of their behavior being evil? K: Let's go back to another favorite of ours, Avatar: the Last Airbender. I would make the argument that both Azula and Ozai are villains. I think there are definitely people who would take Azula and put her more in the antagonist category; I disagree, she's evil, she has evil motivations. She also wants to conquer and subjugate the entire world and is willing to burn it down to do it. Hers and her father's ideologies and motives line up pretty closely. The difference is that Ozai sits in this palace and we don't see him for most of the series, and Azula's out there running amuck. R: So one can be a subordinate of the other, and they can both still be villains. K: Absolutely, yeah. And villains can work together, we got the superhero team ups on villains all the time. Dunno if you ever watched Venture Bros. - R: Yeah. K: - but the Guild of Calamitous Intent is one of my favorites, not that they're all teaming up against the same protagonist there. But yeah you absolutely can have multiple villains; one who is working under or for the other. You could have minions that are villains, as long as their intentions are evil. To that end with Avatar I would say Ty Lee and Mai are antagonists, not villains. Because they're minions who are kinda just there to do what Azula says but like, they don't necessarily want to burn down and subjugate the rest of the world, they're just sort of along for the ride. I think with multiple villains, a lot of times when you see that you're kind of dealing with an ensemble cast, and everyone's gonna sort of have a little area they have to go break off into. But not always, look at Star Wars. Yeah, Darth Vader was redeemed at the end, but you had two evil villains one right after the other, and again we're kinda seeing the same power dynamic as Azula and Ozai. K: To kind of round all of this out, villains are evil. And they usually have to have some sort of evil motivation or plan or action to match this. They might be so evil that they aren't even aware that everyone knows they're evil and is trying to stop them. Villains do not necessarily have to come in immediate direct conflict with protagonists in order to be villains. They can just be out there doing their little villain evil plan thing and not even know that someone's coming to fight them to the death until that person shows up to do so. They don't have to be directly opposed to the protagonist. In some cases, they can be the protagonist. But they've gotta have bad intentions. R: For the thrill of having bad intentions. K: Some of it can be for the thrill. The pure villains, those are my favorite ones, the ones that we never quite find out why they're doing what they're doing, they're just doing it. I use the example of Maleficent, from the original Sleeping Beauty movie, not the Angelina Jolie with lots of backstory and sympathetic character origins. Maleficent shows up, she's mad that she didn't get invited to the party but we kind of all get the impression that there's a reason she wasn't, but nobody quite knows what it is or what's going on here. R: Because we knew she would make a scene! K [laughing]: I think it's because she showed up and cursed the princess. R: So they saw that coming, you're saying. K: Yeah maybe. R: Even though the exact way to prevent that, according to Maleficent, would've been to invite her. K: The logic gets a little circular there, to be sure. [laughs] But yeah so, the villain is a character type, it's not a plot role. The villain is not always necessarily there to advance the protagonist or the plot. They certainly can, but they're not doing it directly all the time. R: Mhm. K: This is, villains are one of those sometimes-but-not-always-except-for-this-and-then-that-happens kind of situation. Antagonists on the other hand, they're not necessarily evil, they can be actually just regular cool decent normal people who happen to have a conflicting agenda with the protagonist. They just want different things. Last week we did MacGuffins. The antagonist may just be running around after their own MacGuffin, and for some reason that's causing problems for the protagonist. Maybe they also want that MacGuffin for a completely different reason, one that is mutually exclusive of what the antagonist wants; they can't team up there. Or maybe they just also wanna have the top spot at the dojo, and so they're gonna be in conflict with the protagonist there. The thing that makes the antagonist an antagonist is that they are opposed to the protagonist, and they will cause conflicts with the story's main character. It's a plot role, and it doesn't necessarily speak to the character's personality or motivations. They are there to create and cause conflict for the main character to either resolve, oppose, or fall to. R: So when I proposed this topic to you, I kind of thought of antagonists as mini-bosses and the villain as the big boss, thinking of video games and the way that's usually structured. So, this is unexpected. K [laughing]: Listen, an antagonist can be a mini-boss. It's all about motivations. R: But they can also just be that person living their life that has always bugged you because they microwaved fish in the lunchroom that one time. K: That person might be a villain. R: [laughs] Just wanna contradict me at every turn. K: I dunno, somebody who microwaves fish, that seems like evil intentions to me. [laughing] R: Look, they live with the consequences of that decision for the rest of their life. K: That's very very true. Anyway, so, Rekka any - R: Can an antagonist be the protagonist? K: No, those are mutually exclusive yeah. There's somebody who is not evil and they're the main character of the story, they're the protagonist. R: So they don't have a goatee or a mustache to twirl, and they're the main character, then they're the protagonist every time. K: Yes. The primary component for being the protagonist is that the story is about you, you're the principal character. If you are serving in an antagonistic role as the protagonist, you're still the protagonist, you're just a jerk. R: So when I get up and look in the mirror in the morning and I say, “Hey, butthead,” I'm still the protagonist of my life. K: You are both the protagonist and antagonist of your own life, yes. R: That feels accurate. K: [laughing] I think most of us are. R: Yeah. K: Well we said, a good example of an antagonist is the character themselves. R: Yep. Alright, I think I get it. K: We can always come back and talk more about it, because this one was fun to do some research on and get some thoughts together. R: So you would say that a book or a story plot requires an antagonist but doesn't necessarily require a villain. K: Yes, definitely. R: And the protagonist is completely optional. K: Yes, we're just gonna have a bunch of antagonists running around causing conflict for each other. Well, I think that's pretty much every murder mystery, so. R: So if it's a third person omniscient, and there is no main POV, we can have a book with no protagonist. Got it. K: I feel like you're trying to trick me into something but I don't know what. [laughing] R: I'm antagonizing you, I'm sorry. K: It's an important thing to do. R: As an editor you need to have your feathers ruffled every now and then. K: It creates conflict, and conflict creates growth. R: And plot. K: And plot. [laughing] But yeah thank you so much for listening everyone as always, hopefully this was helpful information, I know this was a lot of mincing of minute details, but - R: Yeah I mean maybe this was the episode you never knew you never wanted but - K [overlapping]: [laughs] R: - if there is an episode topic that you do know you want, you can find us on Twitter and Instagram @WMBcast, and you can also find us at patreon.com/WMBcast. And we'd love to hear your suggestions for topics or questions. If we have confused you in any way, then you can blame Kaelyn, and also let us know and we'll try to fix that. Thanks everyone! K: Thank you so much.

On tonight's episode of Talkin' Thrones, it's the Season 3 debut!!! You guys know what that means, Red Wedding time! Well not quite, we've still got the first 8 episodes to get through. But we're breaking down the premiere of Season 3 of Thrones tonight, entitled "Valar Dohaeris," as the second part of the pair of phrases we were introduced to with last season's finale, Valar Morghulis! Premiering on March 13, 2013, 8 years ago, Benioff, Weiss & director Daniel Minahan picked up right from where they left off last season and showed how all the characters were going to pick up the pieces from the fallout from the end of Season 2. The characters are all in vastly different spots than they were last seaosn, some on the rise, and others on the decline. For Jon & Daenerys, it's on the upswing. Jon is now enmeshed with the wildlings, meets Mance Rayder and gains his trust, while Daenerys finds herself in Astapor to buy an army of slaves to retake Westeros. Meanwhile, things are not looking so good for Tyrion & Davos, as Davos finds himself crawling back to Stannis after the battle of Blackwater to find him completely at the whim of Melisandre and is locked away for attempting to kill her. Tyrion finds himself at a massively disadvantaged position now that Tywin is back in control of King's Landing, and exerts his control by refusing Tyrion's request to rule over Casterly Rock. Meanwhile, the Lannisters are already envious of their new allies with the Tyrells, as Margaery is making moves to endear the people to her. It's all happening here, only on the #talkintvpodcast #gameofthrones #kingslanding #northofthewall #gameofthronesrecapshow #tyrionlannister #jonsnow #margaerytyrell #tywinlannister #sansastark #littlefinger #astapor #slaversbay #unsullied --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/talkintvpodcastgmailcom/support

The North sends its demands to King's Landing, knowing full well they won't be accepted. News arrives of various setbacks. Cat determines to solicit help from King Renly Baratheon. Mackelly and Simon consider what Robb's next move should be. Chapter Review: Robb reads his demands of Cersei to her cousin Cleos Frey. He's to take them to her and return with her reply. They include the return of all prisoners, delivery of 10 highborn Lannisters as hostages, concession that the North and the Riverlands are now their own kingdom. In return, all the prisoners taken by the north will be freed, with one golden exception: Jamie. Bereaved Rickard Karstark doesn't even stick around to listen.  Cat tells Robb that he did well, but things aren't going great. The Riverlands lords are dispersing to defend their homes against Tywin's raiding parties. The main army is camped at Riverrun with no clear idea of a next step. Clamor is rising for an attack on Harrenhal, but that will cost lives and won't be easy. Robb wants Cat to go home to Bran and Rickon. She says she wants to stay with her father.  Later with her uncle Brynden, Cat learns that the Lannisters are building a new army in the West, which threatens to trap Robb in a pincer. They decide that the best way forward is to lure Tywin out of Harrenhal, but he's no Edmure. The only way to make that happen would be to create a new threat that he couldn't ignore. Cat determines to travel south and beseech King Renly to come into the theatre and draw Tywin into action.

This whole episode is a downer. Jess describes her experiences with selective mutism and imposter syndrome, and Raven talks about her superiority complex. We also delve into how and why it's so difficult for us to make friends. In A Storm of Swords, all of Tyrion's hard work is undone in a matter of days and he must decide whether to whip Tommen in the streets. Davos loses his family and his most prized possession, considers naming a rock after himself, drinks his own pee, and craves violence. Character perspectives in this episode: Tyrion and Davos...

Tyrion disrupts the small council by announcing that he'll be the new Hand of the King. Cersei is not best pleased. Varys proves his ability to sniff out a secret by befriending Shae before Tyrion has had a chance to hide her. Mackelly and Simon join in the posturing about what real power is. PS: Stick around after the end music to hear Simon serenade Mac.Chapter Review: Tyrion gains entry to the small council by staring down Ser Mandon Moore (with a bit of help from Bronn and Timmet). He shows the council the letter from his father naming him Hand of the King. The various members of the council congratulate Tyrion, but the queen is far from pleased. A mood not improved when she learns he's brought only a token force, not the full army of the West that she was hoping for. Tyrion requests a moment alone with his sister. The flatterers and fools exeunt. They discuss Jaime's absence, Littlefinger's awful decision to elevate the incompetent Janos Slynt, Joffrey's awful decision to behead Ned Stark, Varys' awful decision to fire Ser Barristan Selmy, and Sansa's awful (for the Stark's) decision to betray her family. Tyrion gets the idea that the small council are useless and it's a good job he's here. He rides through the city, seeing causes for concern (more bodyguards than produce), and learns that Cersei is doing nothing to help the citizens. Arriving back at his lodgings he finds Shae entertaining Lord Varys. He's dismayed, as he hoped to keep her presence a secret. He and Varys joust over what constitutes true power. Characters/Places/Names/Events: Queen Cersei Lannister - Widow of King Robert Baratheon, twin sister of Ser Jamie Lannister. Mother of King Joffrey Baratheon.

News of Jamie's capture reaches Tywin. The siege of Riverrun is lifted and Edmure Tully freed. Renly Baratheon has married Margery Tyrell and claimed the throne. Suddenly the Lannister procession is in danger of becoming a rout. Tywin orders Tyrion to King's Landing to bring the new king to heel. The boys are right there with him. Chapter Review: Tywin's bannermen are gathered at the Inn at the Crossroads, again. A messenger from Jamie's army has arrived with only bad news: Jamie is captured. The siege of Riverrun ended. The sell-swords have flipped allegiance. Edmure Tully has been rescued. Maybe 2000 men survived to flee back to the Golden Tooth, but the rest are lost. The bannermen, who aren't a particularly impressive group, are dismayed. They agree that everything should be done to ransom Jamie, but Tyrion points out that Joffrey's decision to behead Ned has shattered any possibility of that happening. Eventually, Tywin turfs them all out apart from Tyrion and Kevan. He announces that they'll retreat south to Harrenhal which his host is large enough to defend. With enemies on all sides, there's not much more he can do. In the meantime, his brutes will continue to burn and pillage the Riverlands. Lastly, Tyrion will be dispatched to King's Landing to rule. He's charged with bringing the new King into line, and Cersei too, and to figure out if anyone on the Small Council is worth their salt. Characters/Places/Names/Events: Tyrion Lannister - Youngest son of Tywin Lannister. Brother to queen Cersei and Jamie Lannister. Tywin Lannister - Lord of Casterly Rock. Father of Jamie, Cersei, and Tyrion Lannister. Kevan Lannister - Younger brother of Tywin Lannister. Uncle to Tyrion. Jamie Lannister - Eldest son of Tywin Lannister. Member of the King's Guard.

The group is aattacked by brigands as they travel on the road to Duskendale, leading to the death of Ser Cleos Frey. Retrieving his cousin's belongings, Jaime goads Brienne into a very heated battle where he quickly learns he cannot keep up with her.

Tyrion is invited to join the vanguard of the forthcoming battle with the northern army.  He meets a young lady who might just be his match, and he somehow contrives to survive the battle.  The day belongs to the Lannisters, but key elements of the northern host are absent.  The boys weigh up the strategic advantage and moon over the charming Shae. Chapter Review: Tyrion and crew have traveled a couple of hundred miles up the Kingsroad to face Robb Stark's army. The two forces are set to meet the next day. Tyrion tries dining with his father, but Tywin's willingness to see his youngest son go into battle in the vanguard without so much as command robs him of his appetite. He gets back to his own tent to discover he's missed dinner there too. Bronn has acquired the services of a prostitute for Tyrion's last evening on earth. Shae is a sassy young thing, and Tyrion is instantly charmed. He promises her gold, but demands exclusivity. Their night together ends abruptly when the alarm sounds that the northern army has marched through the night. Tyrion's new squire, Podrick Payne, is asleep on the job and Tyrion almost misses the action. Tyrion and his mountain clans acquit themselves well and the Lannister forces are victorious. However, although the victory has delivered multiple high-value assets to Tywin and company, it turns out that a trick has been pulled and Robb Stark has crossed the Green Fork at the Twins and is presumably headed to Riverrun to harry Jaime.  Characters/Places/Names/Events: Tyrion Lannister - Youngest son of Tywin Lannister. Brother to queen Cersei and Jamie Lannister. Tywin Lannister - Lord of Casterly Rock. Father of Jamie, Cersei, and Tyrion Lannister.Bronn - A sellsword who fought and won Tyrion's trial by combat.

Brotherhood Without Manners, your favorite full spoiler reread podcast of George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series, is back with another chapter from Storm of Swords. This episode we read Tyrion 1 as he awakens to a city in celebration. Tyrion wakes to Bronn entering his room to fill him in on many of the things that have happened since the battle of Blackwater. His power across the city has vanished with the death of Jacelyn Bywater and the dismissal of men in his service. Tyrion makes his way to speak with his father, accompanied by the ever faithful Podrick Payne.  A true father/son moment unfolds before us as Tywin explains the happenings in greater detail than Bronn. Tyrion demands his birthright of Casterly Rock, leading to Tywin showing us why he is feared across the realm.   As always we read listener emails and give some inductees.   https://www.teepublic.com/user/brotherhood-without-manners https://blacklivesmatters.carrd.co/#donate   Leave us a review!   All Music credits to Ross Bugden INSTAGRAM! : https://instagram.com/rossbugden/ (rossbugden) TWITTER! : https://twitter.com/RossBugden (@rossbugden) YOUTUBE! : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kthxycmF25M   Intro Song - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kthxycmF25M&list=PLoM4PBVG7m75ry-RP5wdZWhSHWVkXFLcz&index=2&t=0s Transition Song - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BnzKZw4lquQ

Tyrion and Co finally get back to the Inn at the Crossroads where he and his new entourage receive a frosty welcome from his father. The war is going well, but Tywin still volunteers Tyrion to fight with his new Mountain Clan regiment. The boys' impression of Lannister Senior, is not exactly re-calibrated. Chapter Review: The march down the mountain road comes to an end at a Lannister barricade. They're naturally leery of the 300 mountain clansmen, but Tyrion is recognized and welcomed. He and the clan chiefs make their way through the miles of troops to the Inn at the Crossroads. While the chiefs are fed and watered, Tyrion visits with his father Tywin and Uncle Kevan. Kevan seems pleased to see his nephew, but the reception from his dad is more frosty. They provide him with an update on the state of the war (going great) and charge him with dealing with the meddlesome group including Beric Dondarrion and Thoros of Myr, who, slightly off original mission, continue to harry Tywin's southern flank. The chiefs enter uninvited and Tywin pivots to put these fearsome fighters at the vanguard of his troops for the march north along the Kingsroad to engage Robb Stark's army who are reportedly heading south. They agree but insist that Tyrion fights with them. Tywin's fine with that. Characters/Places/Names/Events: Tyrion Lannister - Youngest son of Tywin Lannister. Brother to queen Cersei and Jamie Lannister. Tywin Lannister - Lord of Casterly Rock. Father of Jamie, Cersei, and Tyrion Lannister. Bronn - A sellsword who fought and won Tyrion's trial by combat. Now Tyrion's friend and bodyguard.  Queen Cersei Lannister - Widow of King Robert Baratheon, twin sister of Ser Jamie Lannister, mother of "King" Joffrey Baratheon. Robb Stark - Eldest son of Eddard (Ned) and Catelyn (Cat) Stark.

Wife of Lord Eddard Stark and daughter of Hoster Tully, the Lord Paramount of the Riverlands. Jamie Lannister - Member of the royal Kingsguard.

Season 7 Episode 3 Game of Thrones. Jon Snow travels super fast to Dragonstone. Jamie and Cersei set up Daenarys' art to attach Casterly Rock. Bran returns home, and a lot more. Listen. Episode starts at the 19:55 mark.

Eddard Stark is now in possession of the biggest secret in King's Landing. News so immense it could destroy the very kingdom. But the king is off hunting and Ned has few friends with whom to share the news. What to do? Personally we wouldn't have advised confiding in Cersei Bloomin' Lannister, but then again we're morally flexible soft southern children of summer. From their respective castles, Mac and Simon analyze the latest happenings and weigh up the latest battle between Ned's honor and common sense. Chapter Review: Ned entertains some of his Small Council cohorts - Grand Maester Pycelle and Petyr LittleFinger Baelish. Apparently, Tywin Lannister doesn't appreciate having his bannerman, Ser Gregor Clegane brought to heel. Ned's past caring about Tywin. But he does still care about Cersei's children. They parley in the infrequently- used King's Landing Godswood. It goes about as well as might be expected. She admits to everything (even providing the identity of the father), but she does not admit to Jon Arryn's murder. Cersei tries to use her feminine wiles - but come on - this is Lord Eddard Stark. Ned advises her to gather her children and flee... far. Robert's wrath will follow her as far as she could possibly run. Cersei tells Ned he missed the chance to seize the throne for himself. And follows up with, "In the Game of Thrones you win, or you die."  Characters/Places/Names/Events: Eddard "Ned" Stark - Hand of the King, Lord of Winterfell, and king Robert's closest friend. Petyr "Littlefinger" Baelish - Master of Coin, member of the Small Council, and childhood friend to Catelyn Tully. Grand Maester Pycelle - Elderly grand maester of the Seven Kingdoms. Fellow member of the king's Small Council. Queen Cersei Lannister - Wife of King Robert Baratheon, twin sister of Ser Jamie Lannister. King Robert Baratheon - King of the Andals, the Rhoynar, and the First Men. Lord of the Seven Kingdoms. Protector of the realm. Aside from being king, he's also Ned's lifelong best friend. Tywin Lannister - Lord of Casterly Rock. Father of Jamie, Cersei, and Tyrion Lannister. Support the podcast. Buy some merch from our store.

Bronn and Ser Vardis are ready to rumble, and Tyrion's fate hangs in the balance. The pair take very different approaches to preparing for the duel. Ser Vardis loads himself down with armor like a tank, while Bronn prefers to stay quick and agile. Which method will win out? The guys will tell you all about that and so many other happenings in the chapter. Chapter Review: Catelyn Stark gets word that Jamie Lannister is amassing troops at Casterly Rock and that her brother Edmure is doing the same along the border between the Westerlands and the Riverlands. After lamenting over her sister's erratic behavior, she decides that it's time she gets back to Winterfell. On her way to the big duel between Bronn and Ser Vardis Egen, Cat runs into her uncle Brynden Tully. He's just quit as the Knight of the Gate, because Cat's sister Lysa has refused his request for 1,000 knights to take to Riverrun, to aid House Tully in the event of a Lannister attack. Cat offers him the swords, if he comes with her to Winterfell. Cat then joins Lysa to watch the duel between, to determine Tyrion's fate. When the battle begins, it is obvious that the younger, faster Bronn plans to avoid Ser Vardis' sword attacks and allow the older man to tire himself, as he's laden with heavy plate armor. Tune in to find out who emerges as the victor. Characters/Places/Names/Events: Catelyn Stark - Lady of Wintefell. Wife of Lord Eddard Stark and daughter of Hoster Tully, the Lord Paramount of the Riverlands. Brynden Blackfish Tully - Cat and Lysa's uncle. Younger brother to their father Lord Hoster Tully. He now serves Lysa as Knight of the Gate. Tyrion Lannister - Youngest son of Tywin Lannister. Brother to queen Cersei and Jamie Lannister. Ser Rodrik Cassel - Master-at-arms of Winterfell. Aging knight who has accompanied Cat on her journey to King's Landing. Lysa Arryn - Cat's younger sister. Widow of Jon Arryn, the former Hand of the King to Robert Baratheon and Lord of the Vale. Ser Vardis Egen - Captain of the Arryn household guard. Bronn - Sellsword who has traveled with Cat and Tyrion since the Inn at the Crossroads.  Support the podcast. Buy some merch from our store.

“ I assume you’re here to bend the knee?” Daenerys asks Jon Snow expectantly. Jon Snow replies “I am not.” Season 7 conclusion begins in suspense as Jon Snow and Ser Davos arrive at Dragonstone to meet with Daenerys Targaryen. Upon their arrival, Varys and Melisandre have a conversation about each other’s future in Westeros. “Oh I will return dear spider. One last time. I have to die in this strange country just like you.” Melisandre tells Varys knowingly. Jon and Daenerys converse for the first time and Jon tells her and Tyrion about the army of the dead. They argue and trade facts about history and loyalties with neither backing down. “So many men have tried to kill me, I don't remember all their names. I have been sold like a broodmare. I've been chained and betrayed, raped and defiled. Do you know what kept me standing through all those years in exile? Faith. Not in any gods. Not in myths and legends. In myself. In Daenerys Targaryen.” Daenerys boasts to Jon. Varys interrupts this interaction with grave news about the Greyjoys and the Sand Snakes. At King’s Landing Euron Greyjoy brings Cersei the priceless gift he promised. Euron and Jaime have a less than friendly interaction while Cersei gets her revenge for Myrcella’s death. Cersei meets with Tycho Nestoris from the Iron Bank of Bravos and they discuss the Lannister. Back at Dragonstone Tyrion and Jon talk of the White Walkers with Jon asking Tyrion if he believes him. “I trust the eyes of an honest man more than I trust what everyone knows.” Tyrion says in response. Jon asks Daenerys to allow him to mine the dragonglass. While in Winterfell, Sansa is growing into her own and making executive decisions as the Lady of Winterfell. Meera brings Bran to Winterfell and Sansa and Bran see each other for the first time since Season 1. Bran tries to describe to Sansa the role of the Three-Eyed Raven in unsettling fashion. In the Citadel, Jorah Mormont has been cured of Grayscale and is ready to return to his Queen. Meanwhile, the Unsullied take Casterly Rock only to find out they were tricked. High Garden falls to Jaime and the Lannister army, Olenna drinks the poison and gives Jaime a confession. Jaime leads his army back to King’s Landing with all of High Gardens’s gold and harvest crops. Meanwhile, Cersei gets an interesting proposition from Tycho. In Winterfell, Petyr Baelish approaches Bran where he finds that even with all of his wits, he can’t fool someone who literally knows everything. Arya arrives in Winterfell for the first time since Season 1 and reunites with her sister and brother, and Bran gives Arya an important gift. Back at Dragonstone, Jon shows Daenerys the dragonglass and some interesting hieroglyphics that provide evidence to the existence of the Night King. Daenerys learns of latest failure at Casterly Rock and is ready to burn it all down. Before she makes a decision, she asks Jon his advice to which he tells her “If you use them to melt castles and burn cities, you’re not different. You’re just more of the same.” In Winterfell, Arya and Brienne have an epic spar while at Dragonstone, and Jon and Theon see each other for the first time since Jon left for the Night’s Watch. Randyll Tarly informs Jaime and Bronn that all of the gold is safely secured in King’s Landing, but that relief is short lived as Daenerys arrives to show them who the real Queen is. Upon her return to Dragonstone, an old knight pledges himself to her once more, and Tyrion devises a plan to make Cersei believe in the threat to the North. In Winterfell, Sansa is tempted by The Northern houses. Tyrion meets with Jaime to convince him to have Cersei agree to armistice, and Ser Davos collects an old friend from Flea Bottom. In the Citadel, Gilly comes across perhaps the most important discovery in Maester Maynards’ records, while Arya in Winterfell makes a shocking discovery of her own. At The Wall, the A-Team of Westeros go beyond to bring back a wight. After dangerous encounters with creatures of the dead, Jon and company catch a wight only to be surrounded by the Night King and his army. Is this the end for them? Or will someone come to save the day? If they do survive, will Cersei have a change of heart when presented the proof or was it all for naught? The Night King adds the most dangerous ally to his army, while in Winterfell, the Stark sisters rid themselves of a dangerous ally of their own. Bran and Sam together fit the final pieces together about Jon’s true lineage, while two relatives are rocking the boat. Meanwhile unbeknownst to anyone except the men holding The Wall at Eastwatch By The Sea, Winter is officially coming to Westeros. Take a dive with the Riddikulus Crew into the conclusion of Season 7 in our 3 and ½ hour special as things begin to come full circle, while other questions are raised. Where does Jon Snow go from here? In the words of Bran Stark “He’s never been a bastard, he’s the heir to the Iron Throne.”

Eddard sits with Grand Maester Pycelle and learns of Jon Arryn's final days. Was Pycelle acting sketchy during that time or doing what he thought best? Jon Arryn shared cryptic parting words and perused an unlikely book. Later Littlefinger gives Ned a gift and shares a revelation that leaves Ned shocked. We jump head-first into it all, and wonder why poison wasn't considered by more.Chapter Review: Eddard "Ned" Stark visits Grand Maester Pycelle's chambers to learn the details of Jon Arryn's death. Pycelle walks him through the timeline. Jon hadn't seemed himself for a while but he was healthy one minute and sick the next. Pycelle sent Jon's own maester away. He totally discounts poison as a possibility but then subtly fingers Lord Varys, if poison was involved. He says Lysa Arryn shouldn't be taken seriously, as she's mentally unstable. He also reveals that Cersei wasn't in town when Jon died. Ned takes it all in, but questions just who Pycelle serves. Later, after a quick talk with Arya, Ned meets Petyr Littlefinger Baelish. Littlefinger informs Ned that he's found four people with connections to Jon Arryn to interview. He then points out men in the yard who are spies watching Ned's window.Characters/Places/Names/Events: Eddard Stark - Hand of the King and Lord of Winterfell.Grand Maester Pycelle - Elderly grand maester of the Seven Kingdoms.

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.

little bit of a   111 00:04:28,669 --> 00:04:32,510 uplifting when Tyrion Lannister visited   112 00:04:30,950 --> 00:04:34,729 ya Tyrion gave him the saddle and at   113 00:04:32,510 --> 00:04:37,370 least provided him a way to ride again   114 00:04:34,729 --> 00:04:39,080 we were kind of driven to dislike Rob   115 00:04:37,370 --> 00:04:40,460 and his antics throughout the the   116 00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:42,410 chapter but then you know we kind of   117 00:04:40,460 --> 00:04:44,060 feel for him at the end yeah you still a   118 00:04:42,410 --> 00:04:47,510 try you realize that

further and edge chapters are getting   125 00:04:57,580 --> 00:05:02,150 numbered numbered well they already were   126 00:05:00,469 --> 00:05:04,969 yeah but you get it actually they're not   127 00:05:02,150 --> 00:05:06,919 in George's books not in my notes they   128 00:05:04,969 --> 00:05:11,060 are hell yeah so it's a fairly short   129 00:05:06,919 --> 00:05:13,960 chapter but we open up he's in master   130 00:05:11,060 --> 00:05:16,810 Meister pay cells solar just yeah   131 00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:19,759 pycelle is kind of greeting him and   132 00:05:16,810 --> 00:05:22,009 droning on about what a tragedy Lord   133 00:05:19,759 --> 00:05:24,139 Aaron's death was and how he's happy to   134 00:05:22,009 --> 00:05:25,669 tell Ned anything he wants to know yeah   135 00:05:24,139 --> 00:05:26,960 so we kind of jumping in mid   136 00:05:25,669 --> 00:05:28,789 conversation well the start of the   137 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:29,990 conversation but they'd already greeted   138 00:05:28,789 --> 00:05:31,669 each other so he offers some   139 00:05:29,990 --> 00:05:34,039 refreshments he he doesn't drink wine   140 00:05:31,669 --> 00:05:35,750 himself and for some reason I felt it   141 00:05:34,039 --> 00:05:37,789 was necessary to note that that he   142 00:05:35,750 --> 00:05:39,650 doesn't like the wine because it messes   143 00:05:37,789 --> 00:05:41,449 with his digestion just so that I can   144 00:05:39,650 --> 00:05:44,060 keep an eye out if we spot him fucking   145 00:05:41,449 --> 00:05:47,090 sipping and someone he's alive rock yaks   146 00:05:44,060 --> 00:05:48,680 fuck pycelle Ned no it's that uh pycelle   147 00:05:47,090 --> 00:05:51,680 that offers instead of the wine maybe   148 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:54,289 some iced milk and Ned no it's that it   149 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:55,759 is very fucking hot today so it sounds   150 00:05:54,289 --> 00:05:57,259 terrible but for some reason I really   151 00:05:55,759 --> 00:05:59,479 want to try it it does sound pretty   152 00:05:57,259 --> 00:06:01,219 refreshing but it sounds like yeah super   153 00:05:59,479 --> 00:06:02,960 refreshing is awful as it does sound   154 00:06:01,219 --> 00:06:05,210 yeah now he's gonna feel his tunic   155 00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:07,069 sticking to him and thick moist air and   156 00:06:05,210 --> 00:06:09,259 covered the city like a damp woolen   157 00:06:07,069 --> 00:06:10,009 blanket it was gross its muggy it's   158 00:06:09,259 --> 00:06:12,080 Florida weather   159 00:06:10,009 --> 00:06:14,569 sorry Florian's bother I hate your   160 00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:16,250 weather and that yeah it just sounds   161 00:06:14,569 --> 00:06:18,169 like one of those stifling hot days   162 00:06:16,250 --> 00:06:20,990 where no matter what you're sweaty and   163 00:06:18,169 --> 00:06:23,389 wet and gross so he politely accepts   164 00:06:20,990 --> 00:06:25,310 that glass of iced milk indeed   165 00:06:23,389 --> 00:06:27,379 so pycelle summons a servant girl and   166 00:06:25,310 --> 00:06:29,509 gets the request police you know bring   167 00:06:27,379 --> 00:06:32,240 some I smell I hate that and just bring   168 00:06:29,509 --> 00:06:34,430 the bowel tiny Bell and get on soap I   169 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:38,539 soul is droning on and on and on   170 00:06:34,430 --> 00:06:40,669 previous summers and the key and you   171 00:06:38,539 --> 00:06:42,110 know Ned notices that that he does seem   172 00:06:40,669 --> 00:06:43,849 to be getting tool because his eyes are   173 00:06:42,110 --> 00:06:45,620 so heavily lidded he looks half asleep   174 00:06:43,849 --> 00:06:47,839 as he's talking to him Baker   175 00:06:45,620 --> 00:06:49,669 well I sell ends up it about begging his   176 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:51,710 forgiveness for rambling and says that   177 00:06:49,669 --> 00:06:53,930 mines are like swords I do fear the old   178 00:06:51,710 --> 00:06:55,699 ones go to rust which made me think of   179 00:06:53,930 --> 00:06:56,469 Tyrians that me to my mind it's like a   180 00:06:55,699 --> 00:06:58,789 whetstone   181 00:06:56,469 --> 00:06:59,730 vodka sword it needs a whetstone the   182 00:06:58,789 --> 00:07:01,800 lips   183 00:06:59,730 --> 00:07:03,090 and so the servant girl comes back puts   184 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:06,840 the tray him up between them and then   185 00:07:03,090 --> 00:07:09,660 leaves again and pycelle says well we oh   186 00:07:06,840 --> 00:07:11,730 yes Lordaeron and he says we get a   187 00:07:09,660 --> 00:07:13,350 little bit into it now we're truth be   188 00:07:11,730 --> 00:07:15,750 told he says Lord Aaron had not seemed   189 00:07:13,350 --> 00:07:17,580 himself for quite some time but pycelle   190 00:07:15,750 --> 00:07:19,230 had chalked it up to the burdens of his   191 00:07:17,580 --> 00:07:22,020 duties handed the king he's got a lot of   192 00:07:19,230 --> 00:07:25,440 worries conveys concern about his very   193 00:07:22,020 --> 00:07:27,390 sickly son and his overly anxious wife   194 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:29,490 so yeah Lord Aaron had a lot of shit on   195 00:07:27,390 --> 00:07:33,360 his plate so I noted the overly anxious   196 00:07:29,490 --> 00:07:36,480 wife things yeah because I feel as   197 00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:39,210 though her being anxious we we know why   198 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:41,820 you know and as we are again a full   199 00:07:39,210 --> 00:07:44,220 spoiler reread podcast we know that she   200 00:07:41,820 --> 00:07:45,690 plotted his death with Littlefinger and   201 00:07:44,220 --> 00:07:47,370 even if she didn't have part in the   202 00:07:45,690 --> 00:07:49,920 planning we're pretty sure she's the one   203 00:07:47,370 --> 00:07:51,810 that tipped the poison in yeah and so   204 00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:52,950 she has reason to be anxious and it's   205 00:07:51,810 --> 00:07:56,040 kind of cool that we're getting this   206 00:07:52,950 --> 00:07:58,350 glimpse right here that she was anxious   207 00:07:56,040 --> 00:08:00,390 around him for quite some time while   208 00:07:58,350 --> 00:08:02,910 he's doing these things when really   209 00:08:00,390 --> 00:08:05,370 they're almost unrelated he's he's   210 00:08:02,910 --> 00:08:08,130 looking into the Lannisters whereas   211 00:08:05,370 --> 00:08:10,290 she's with Littlefinger just nervous   212 00:08:08,130 --> 00:08:14,730 about being caught right yeah   213 00:08:10,290 --> 00:08:17,820 so Ned asks about the final illness that   214 00:08:14,730 --> 00:08:19,590 struck Jon Arryn and pycelle says that   215 00:08:17,820 --> 00:08:22,170 he came to me one day seeking a certain   216 00:08:19,590 --> 00:08:23,580 book Hale and healthy as ever though it   217 00:08:22,170 --> 00:08:26,160 did seem as if something was troubling   218 00:08:23,580 --> 00:08:28,290 him which is interesting Jon Arryn is   219 00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:30,510 obviously at this point looking into the   220 00:08:28,290 --> 00:08:33,360 the lineage he has some suspicions about   221 00:08:30,510 --> 00:08:36,060 definitely has Prince the prompt and   222 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:37,979 preset princesses are the princes he was   223 00:08:36,060 --> 00:08:39,960 tipped off about something or just kind   224 00:08:37,979 --> 00:08:42,060 of clicked for him and well like I   225 00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:43,680 actually I've never really thought much   226 00:08:42,060 --> 00:08:45,990 on this chapter we're about Jon Arryn   227 00:08:43,680 --> 00:08:47,580 really and all in this book reading   228 00:08:45,990 --> 00:08:49,820 through previously this time I actually   229 00:08:47,580 --> 00:08:52,890 sat down and thought through who knows   230 00:08:49,820 --> 00:08:55,530 Robert Baratheon in this world besides   231 00:08:52,890 --> 00:08:57,150 Ned Stark better than Jon Arryn so I   232 00:08:55,530 --> 00:08:59,610 could almost just see it being like   233 00:08:57,150 --> 00:09:01,740 these kids are not fucking Roberts like   234 00:08:59,610 --> 00:09:03,720 they're not acting how Robert acted when   235 00:09:01,740 --> 00:09:06,330 he was this age I would know I fostered   236 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:08,250 them yeah he they have no looks of   237 00:09:06,330 --> 00:09:10,320 Robert so I think Jon Arryn is just   238 00:09:08,250 --> 00:09:13,110 maybe pretty sharp him and Stannis I do   239 00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:16,470 believe right sort of spoke about it   240 00:09:13,110 --> 00:09:19,440 Santa's bounced and I correct me if I'm   241 00:09:16,470 --> 00:09:21,360 wrong listeners but I do believe that we   242 00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:24,180 get words later that Stannis was told by   243 00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:26,160 John Aron about this this conundrum yeah   244 00:09:24,180 --> 00:09:28,650 I'm pretty sure that's a and so yeah I   245 00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:30,450 think it was John I think Lord Aaron is   246 00:09:28,650 --> 00:09:32,070 just pretty pretty sharp he came to   247 00:09:30,450 --> 00:09:34,350 conclude but the next morning he was   248 00:09:32,070 --> 00:09:37,050 twisted over in pain too sick to rise   249 00:09:34,350 --> 00:09:39,360 from his bed when he continued to weaken   250 00:09:37,050 --> 00:09:41,580 that pycelle went to see him himself but   251 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:44,550 he says the gods did not grant me the   252 00:09:41,580 --> 00:09:47,580 power to save him which one yoram a sir   253 00:09:44,550 --> 00:09:49,230 so like I would think that's the the   254 00:09:47,580 --> 00:09:51,690 science versus the faith type thing yeah   255 00:09:49,230 --> 00:09:54,600 and then to fuck off pycelle you didn't   256 00:09:51,690 --> 00:09:57,180 want him to live anyway but Ned says   257 00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:59,160 that I heard you had sent maester   258 00:09:57,180 --> 00:10:02,670 Coleman away when you went to visit him   259 00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:05,400 and pycelle says I did indeed I respect   260 00:10:02,670 --> 00:10:08,430 his abilities and the the way he can do   261 00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:10,110 things but he's young and he even says   262 00:10:08,430 --> 00:10:12,630 that lady Lysa will never forgive me   263 00:10:10,110 --> 00:10:14,460 that and he says maybe I was wrong but   264 00:10:12,630 --> 00:10:16,380 at the time I thought it best again that   265 00:10:14,460 --> 00:10:19,290 little line there about Lee so makes me   266 00:10:16,380 --> 00:10:19,830 wonder if Meister Coleman's nodding on   267 00:10:19,290 --> 00:10:21,630 it also   268 00:10:19,830 --> 00:10:23,040 that could be it was I don't think   269 00:10:21,630 --> 00:10:24,660 pycelle had anything to do with John   270 00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:27,210 Aaron's death he's cuz you know it's not   271 00:10:24,660 --> 00:10:30,600 Lannister related and he's under Circe's   272 00:10:27,210 --> 00:10:33,300 thumb yeah and I think that she's   273 00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:35,010 furious because he was trying to you   274 00:10:33,300 --> 00:10:38,190 know flush him say you know you don't   275 00:10:35,010 --> 00:10:40,140 think do you think and again I can only   276 00:10:38,190 --> 00:10:41,670 really think of the show right now um I   277 00:10:40,140 --> 00:10:44,790 can't remember in the books you don't   278 00:10:41,670 --> 00:10:46,320 think that pycelle let Jon Arryn died   279 00:10:44,790 --> 00:10:48,630 and didn't actually try his best to   280 00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:50,250 treat him well so that was the because I   281 00:10:48,630 --> 00:10:53,130 when I was reading through I saw that   282 00:10:50,250 --> 00:10:55,830 she was mad about that but was that   283 00:10:53,130 --> 00:10:57,780 pretend mad where he was actually coming   284 00:10:55,830 --> 00:10:59,550 well like sigh I think that sort of I   285 00:10:57,780 --> 00:11:01,530 think that's the beauty of it is Lysa   286 00:10:59,550 --> 00:11:03,720 got pissed because she wanted Coleman to   287 00:11:01,530 --> 00:11:05,130 sort of finish the job pycelle came in   288 00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:06,840 and sort of did the same thing but she   289 00:11:05,130 --> 00:11:09,320 doesn't know that was I   290 00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:11,880 yeah he's under the Lannister thumb and   291 00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:13,230 so I don't I don't know who would give   292 00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:16,590 the order cuz I don't believe at this   293 00:11:13,230 --> 00:11:18,480 point he put Cersei even near Tywin   294 00:11:16,590 --> 00:11:19,800 so he would listen to Tywin over Cersei   295 00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:21,570 I don't know if he would listen to   296 00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:23,280 Cersei but she is the queen so he might   297 00:11:21,570 --> 00:11:25,560 listen to a direct command so if Cersei   298 00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:26,279 told them you know don't fucking bring   299 00:11:25,560 --> 00:11:27,689 it don't   300 00:11:26,279 --> 00:11:29,910 bringing back to house she definitely   301 00:11:27,689 --> 00:11:32,790 could potentially have reason person   302 00:11:29,910 --> 00:11:34,319 well she yeah if you know PI cells loyal   303 00:11:32,790 --> 00:11:35,970 the Lannisters he could have told them I   304 00:11:34,319 --> 00:11:38,550 meet her immediately that he was looking   305 00:11:35,970 --> 00:11:39,959 for this book on lineages type thing he   306 00:11:38,550 --> 00:11:41,670 might have even John Aron might have   307 00:11:39,959 --> 00:11:44,279 even confided in him a little bit more   308 00:11:41,670 --> 00:11:46,410 and said this is my suspicion and so   309 00:11:44,279 --> 00:11:48,899 it's an interesting you know which   310 00:11:46,410 --> 00:11:50,370 Meister was actually helping in which   311 00:11:48,899 --> 00:11:52,199 Meister was hurting or were they both   312 00:11:50,370 --> 00:11:54,180 well cuz yeah that's and that was my   313 00:11:52,199 --> 00:11:56,459 thought is would would purging be best   314 00:11:54,180 --> 00:11:59,249 for price l to get rid of the poison if   315 00:11:56,459 --> 00:12:01,290 he recognized a poison that's or is that   316 00:11:59,249 --> 00:12:03,059 going to make it worse because I know   317 00:12:01,290 --> 00:12:04,920 that they sometimes say for certain   318 00:12:03,059 --> 00:12:07,050 chemicals don't induce vomiting yeah you   319 00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:09,059 need to let it pass actually so who   320 00:12:07,050 --> 00:12:10,499 knows which is which yeah exactly that's   321 00:12:09,059 --> 00:12:11,970 it we just don't we don't know what the   322 00:12:10,499 --> 00:12:14,040 poison is at this point and we don't   323 00:12:11,970 --> 00:12:16,170 obviously know how to treat it but net   324 00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:19,680 asks him did Lord Arryn say anything to   325 00:12:16,170 --> 00:12:21,209 you in his final moments and paisaje   326 00:12:19,680 --> 00:12:23,009 answer is that in the last stages of the   327 00:12:21,209 --> 00:12:25,019 fever the hand had called out the name   328 00:12:23,009 --> 00:12:26,939 Robert several times though whether he   329 00:12:25,019 --> 00:12:30,930 was asking for his son or the King I   330 00:12:26,939 --> 00:12:32,939 know not do you have a do you think he's   331 00:12:30,930 --> 00:12:34,769 calling out about the bastards and he   332 00:12:32,939 --> 00:12:39,089 wants Roberts attention on that I think   333 00:12:34,769 --> 00:12:42,079 he's trying to explain Robert and the   334 00:12:39,089 --> 00:12:45,029 bastards and that he in his poison say   335 00:12:42,079 --> 00:12:47,699 really get out as Robert you know and   336 00:12:45,029 --> 00:12:50,129 best yeah so so pycelle goes on it says   337 00:12:47,699 --> 00:12:51,600 that when I saw all hope had fled I gave   338 00:12:50,129 --> 00:12:53,759 the hand milk of the poppy so he   339 00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:55,470 wouldn't suffer just before he closed   340 00:12:53,759 --> 00:12:58,800 his eyes he whispered to the king and   341 00:12:55,470 --> 00:13:00,240 his lady wife the seat is strong pycelle   342 00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:03,569 then says that this is sort of in   343 00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:07,050 memoriam of hitter as a tribute to son   344 00:13:03,569 --> 00:13:09,959 this here again to me is the milk of the   345 00:13:07,050 --> 00:13:11,879 poppy from pycelle it's I think it's the   346 00:13:09,959 --> 00:13:15,509 shot to show them off yeah keep him from   347 00:13:11,879 --> 00:13:17,850 some past yes I I definitely do it's a   348 00:13:15,509 --> 00:13:19,290 you know but I'm just sleep and you know   349 00:13:17,850 --> 00:13:20,610 I'm treating him I'm giving milk him   350 00:13:19,290 --> 00:13:21,840 with a poppy for his pain so who's gonna   351 00:13:20,610 --> 00:13:24,690 question that and   352 00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:27,110 it kind of makes sure John Aaron can't   353 00:13:24,690 --> 00:13:29,100 let slip anything about the actual   354 00:13:27,110 --> 00:13:31,380 inside yeah and so he says it seems   355 00:13:29,100 --> 00:13:34,140 strong and that's he that he claims they   356 00:13:31,380 --> 00:13:36,750 think it's because of his six on yeah no   357 00:13:34,140 --> 00:13:38,220 he's strong he'll grow we know at this   358 00:13:36,750 --> 00:13:40,020 point that's not what he meant   359 00:13:38,220 --> 00:13:41,970 or at least we assume that's not what he   360 00:13:40,020 --> 00:13:45,930 meant when you know we figure out about   361 00:13:41,970 --> 00:13:49,529 the the Baratheon lineage which we also   362 00:13:45,930 --> 00:13:50,700 learn a lot from technically I read a   363 00:13:49,529 --> 00:13:52,980 little bit of it out of order   364 00:13:50,700 --> 00:13:55,710 the Baratheon line from a world of Ice   365 00:13:52,980 --> 00:13:59,400 and Fire yeah and fire and blood and   366 00:13:55,710 --> 00:14:02,120 stuff and I believe it was the the   367 00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:04,980 Darren's that the Baratheon 's   368 00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:07,200 originated from but technically the   369 00:14:04,980 --> 00:14:10,980 Baratheon house was founded by bastards   370 00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:12,240 it's a bastard house and so it's not and   371 00:14:10,980 --> 00:14:16,470 they're very closely tied to the   372 00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:20,220 Targaryen - Wow so yeah it's definitely   373 00:14:16,470 --> 00:14:22,680 referencing obviously the the seed   374 00:14:20,220 --> 00:14:24,300 within the Baratheon line being strong   375 00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:26,220 see for the longest time when I read it   376 00:14:24,300 --> 00:14:27,810 I always thought it was like directly   377 00:14:26,220 --> 00:14:29,820 referencing country and saying like he's   378 00:14:27,810 --> 00:14:31,290 a strong man but you know it's it's   379 00:14:29,820 --> 00:14:33,150 saying the hereditary gene of the   380 00:14:31,290 --> 00:14:35,520 Baratheon is strong where it's usually a   381 00:14:33,150 --> 00:14:38,640 male and it's usually a black-haired   382 00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:40,830 male pretty strong frame like they their   383 00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:42,990 seed of the Baratheon male light is very   384 00:14:40,830 --> 00:14:46,080 strong is what he's saying in we know   385 00:14:42,990 --> 00:14:48,510 Robert has bastards everywhere and so   386 00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:50,520 you learn it's you know Robert Capote   387 00:14:48,510 --> 00:14:53,220 and motherfucker is basically what he's   388 00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:55,080 saying and so pycelle says that death   389 00:14:53,220 --> 00:14:56,940 didn't come until the next morning but   390 00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:58,680 Lord Arryn was at peace after that and   391 00:14:56,940 --> 00:15:02,220 he never spoke again pycelle made sure   392 00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:03,900 he never papi annette asks did it seem   393 00:15:02,220 --> 00:15:06,810 like there was anything unusual about   394 00:15:03,900 --> 00:15:08,910 this death and pycelle says no III don't   395 00:15:06,810 --> 00:15:10,770 really so because I think it's worth   396 00:15:08,910 --> 00:15:13,110 mentioning he's sipped at that milk a   397 00:15:10,770 --> 00:15:14,970 few times now and every time he talks   398 00:15:13,110 --> 00:15:17,400 about how overly sweet it is it's still   399 00:15:14,970 --> 00:15:19,560 refreshing cuz it's cold but that it's   400 00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:21,630 just getting to sleep for his taste and   401 00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:24,180 I feel like it's kind of referencing the   402 00:15:21,630 --> 00:15:26,700 converse I tell ya pycelle himself and   403 00:15:24,180 --> 00:15:30,060 so the milkier that they keep referring   404 00:15:26,700 --> 00:15:33,210 to is exactly its high sound sweetness   405 00:15:30,060 --> 00:15:36,530 per song occasion he's the   406 00:15:33,210 --> 00:15:38,910 this just awful bullshit yeah and so   407 00:15:36,530 --> 00:15:41,220 yeah pycelle says no it was sad for a   408 00:15:38,910 --> 00:15:43,170 certainty but John Aaron is at rest now   409 00:15:41,220 --> 00:15:45,180 and his burdens are listed I lifted at   410 00:15:43,170 --> 00:15:47,160 last and so Ned asks the illness that   411 00:15:45,180 --> 00:15:48,750 took him have you seen it before not any   412 00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:50,280 other men yeah for the most part he kind   413 00:15:48,750 --> 00:15:53,280 of lays it out that you know in all his   414 00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:55,590 years it's it's not anything more or   415 00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:57,930 less unusual than any other illnesses   416 00:15:55,590 --> 00:16:00,420 expiry case is different in every cases   417 00:15:57,930 --> 00:16:02,940 alike Lord Lord John's death was no   418 00:16:00,420 --> 00:16:05,400 stranger than any other which again if   419 00:16:02,940 --> 00:16:07,230 pycelle is having a hand in it   420 00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:09,900 that's exactly what he would be expected   421 00:16:07,230 --> 00:16:12,300 to say but and it like this is the only   422 00:16:09,900 --> 00:16:14,280 credit I will give to pycelle as he toes   423 00:16:12,300 --> 00:16:16,530 that line well where this is also what a   424 00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:19,200 maester would say right you know and   425 00:16:16,530 --> 00:16:23,280 that's this is sort of the same and it   426 00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:25,740 is so and so even if he's not aware you   427 00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:27,180 know a skilled poisoner that's what   428 00:16:25,740 --> 00:16:28,110 they're trying to make everyone believe   429 00:16:27,180 --> 00:16:30,360 anyway   430 00:16:28,110 --> 00:16:32,010 and so he's kind of falling even if he   431 00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:34,050 doesn't have any involvement he's saying   432 00:16:32,010 --> 00:16:35,730 all the things he supposed yeah and so   433 00:16:34,050 --> 00:16:38,300 Ned says and I think this is pretty   434 00:16:35,730 --> 00:16:41,490 brazen he says his wife saw otherwise   435 00:16:38,300 --> 00:16:43,920 about John this illness being strange   436 00:16:41,490 --> 00:16:46,230 and pycelle says forgive an old man his   437 00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:48,240 bluntness but grief can deranged even   438 00:16:46,230 --> 00:16:51,120 the strongest and most disciplined minds   439 00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:52,950 and lady Lysa was never that she's   440 00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:56,790 pretty brash batshit crazy we know this   441 00:16:52,950 --> 00:16:58,650 but the fact that Ned sort of points out   442 00:16:56,790 --> 00:17:01,110 that she's distrusting of the story   443 00:16:58,650 --> 00:17:03,630 everything is pretty brazen right now to   444 00:17:01,110 --> 00:17:06,540 be dropping names but the fact that   445 00:17:03,630 --> 00:17:08,790 pycelle is also sort of aware of the   446 00:17:06,540 --> 00:17:10,410 fact that she's having issues with this   447 00:17:08,790 --> 00:17:12,450 and he says that since her last   448 00:17:10,410 --> 00:17:14,670 stillbirths she sees enemies in every   449 00:17:12,450 --> 00:17:16,740 shadow and the death of her lord husband   450 00:17:14,670 --> 00:17:18,750 has left her shattered and lost so   451 00:17:16,740 --> 00:17:20,520 they're chalking it up to her grief but   452 00:17:18,750 --> 00:17:22,260 one I think she's always just been   453 00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:24,300 fucking crazy then throwing the paranoia   454 00:17:22,260 --> 00:17:26,130 affection and now throwing the paranoia   455 00:17:24,300 --> 00:17:28,200 but I still just think that that's an   456 00:17:26,130 --> 00:17:30,720 interesting everyone sort of aware that   457 00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:32,640 Lysa is unstable and and Ned straight-up   458 00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:33,990 asks like she doesn't really think   459 00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:35,610 that's what's going on well that's it   460 00:17:33,990 --> 00:17:36,990 like it's so crazy because like I was   461 00:17:35,610 --> 00:17:39,900 pissed off throughout this whole chapter   462 00:17:36,990 --> 00:17:41,280 that Ned is saying so much why are you   463 00:17:39,900 --> 00:17:43,350 trusting this man and even in the   464 00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:44,910 chapter before this with Ned when he was   465 00:17:43,350 --> 00:17:46,860 in the small council meeting he seemed   466 00:17:44,910 --> 00:17:49,049 to respect and   467 00:17:46,860 --> 00:17:51,059 to pay sell so much which is expected   468 00:17:49,049 --> 00:17:55,170 he's the Meister you know the citadel   469 00:17:51,059 --> 00:17:57,210 he's he's important dude there but God   470 00:17:55,170 --> 00:18:00,360 it was aggravating yeah even at the end   471 00:17:57,210 --> 00:18:02,370 he he almost doesn't trust him right but   472 00:18:00,360 --> 00:18:05,100 he's still putting all this information   473 00:18:02,370 --> 00:18:07,170 yeah Ned I love you dude but so Annette   474 00:18:05,100 --> 00:18:08,880 asked him you are certain it was an   475 00:18:07,170 --> 00:18:11,820 illness that killed Jon Arryn and   476 00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:12,540 pycelle says I am if not illness what   477 00:18:11,820 --> 00:18:14,760 else could it be   478 00:18:12,540 --> 00:18:17,940 and it says poison and yep I sell perks   479 00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:19,860 right eyeball yeah GP eyes lick open and   480 00:18:17,940 --> 00:18:21,559 he says a disturbing thought it's   481 00:18:19,860 --> 00:18:24,000 possible but I don't think it lightly   482 00:18:21,559 --> 00:18:24,750 Lordaeron showed no signs and was loved   483 00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:27,210 by all   484 00:18:24,750 --> 00:18:29,640 what sort of monster in man's flesh   485 00:18:27,210 --> 00:18:32,580 would dare to murder such a noble Lord   486 00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:35,250 and Ned says that poison he's heard is   487 00:18:32,580 --> 00:18:36,660 rumored to be used as a woman's weapon   488 00:18:35,250 --> 00:18:39,870 do you think this is Ned trying to   489 00:18:36,660 --> 00:18:41,880 direct it at Cersei mmm no I think that   490 00:18:39,870 --> 00:18:44,640 that's actually a common saying I agree   491 00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:48,090 to me it felt like he had Cersei in mind   492 00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:51,059 there I feel like that's not crazy for   493 00:18:48,090 --> 00:18:53,040 him to you know kind of not door because   494 00:18:51,059 --> 00:18:54,990 it's he can't directly say I think the   495 00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:58,140 Queen poison well yeah I know yeah so   496 00:18:54,990 --> 00:19:03,059 how many other women would be willing to   497 00:18:58,140 --> 00:19:05,460 you know and so I I'm surprised that   498 00:19:03,059 --> 00:19:09,690 nobody looks at Lysa just cuz you know   499 00:19:05,460 --> 00:19:11,970 the grieving widow yeah that's how many   500 00:19:09,690 --> 00:19:13,620 I mean I suppose it's because we know it   501 00:19:11,970 --> 00:19:16,169 with today's technology and shit that   502 00:19:13,620 --> 00:19:20,280 nine times out of ten it's the spouse or   503 00:19:16,169 --> 00:19:22,140 whatever yeah killed but like no I you   504 00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:25,400 know I think he's definitely alluding to   505 00:19:22,140 --> 00:19:29,220 it is in the most subtle ways it's not a   506 00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:31,950 whoa which is surprising it's long so   507 00:19:29,220 --> 00:19:33,540 pycelle respond saying yeah it is said   508 00:19:31,950 --> 00:19:36,419 that poisons a woman's weapon women   509 00:19:33,540 --> 00:19:39,210 Cravens and eunuchs and he urges the   510 00:19:36,419 --> 00:19:41,090 conversation Lord Varys was born in a   511 00:19:39,210 --> 00:19:43,590 slave how any mention said it's also   512 00:19:41,090 --> 00:19:45,720 used in the Free Cities and he mentions   513 00:19:43,590 --> 00:19:48,210 that Laura Barris was born a slave in   514 00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:50,040 lys did you know this he said oh and   515 00:19:48,210 --> 00:19:52,740 once again it also makes me laugh   516 00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:54,570 because Littlefinger comes from the Free   517 00:19:52,740 --> 00:19:57,419 Cities his family yeah Bravo   518 00:19:54,570 --> 00:19:59,620 they you know that that's that can work   519 00:19:57,419 --> 00:20:01,690 for a few different people and   520 00:19:59,620 --> 00:20:04,150 the actual perpetrators of the crime   521 00:20:01,690 --> 00:20:06,520 yeah so pycelle says put not your trust   522 00:20:04,150 --> 00:20:07,510 in spiders my lord but none didn't need   523 00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:08,830 to be told this because there's   524 00:20:07,510 --> 00:20:10,570 something about Varys that just makes   525 00:20:08,830 --> 00:20:13,270 his fucking skin crawl which pisses me   526 00:20:10,570 --> 00:20:15,130 off cuz like he's the one you should at   527 00:20:13,270 --> 00:20:18,070 least yeah Ethan and you put it all into   528 00:20:15,130 --> 00:20:19,600 fucking Littlefinger yeah like you idiot   529 00:20:18,070 --> 00:20:22,240 so Annette stands up thanking Keitel and   530 00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:24,370 pycelle asks if he can assist in any   531 00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:28,210 other way and Ned says he'd like to take   532 00:20:24,370 --> 00:20:30,280 a look at the book yeah look at the book   533 00:20:28,210 --> 00:20:31,809 that Jon Arryn had borrowed and pycelle   534 00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:33,370 says I don't think it will interest you   535 00:20:31,809 --> 00:20:35,890 my lord almost seems like he was trying   536 00:20:33,370 --> 00:20:37,120 to talk you know and so that's why I   537 00:20:35,890 --> 00:20:38,110 thought it was funny that Ned kind of   538 00:20:37,120 --> 00:20:39,850 threw it like he was getting up and   539 00:20:38,110 --> 00:20:43,059 ready to leave and like walking out and   540 00:20:39,850 --> 00:20:45,700 he stops he's like oh yeah one last   541 00:20:43,059 --> 00:20:47,380 thing I need the book I need that book   542 00:20:45,700 --> 00:20:49,059 that book you thought I wasn't paying   543 00:20:47,380 --> 00:20:50,740 attention about but yeah pycelle says   544 00:20:49,059 --> 00:20:52,720 it's a ponderous old tome on the   545 00:20:50,740 --> 00:20:55,000 lineages of the Great Houses but Ned   546 00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:56,770 wants it all the same so pycelle says he   547 00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:58,240 thinks he has it here somewhere but   548 00:20:56,770 --> 00:21:00,940 he'll find it and he'll have it sent to   549 00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:02,679 net chamber and so Ned asks one last   550 00:21:00,940 --> 00:21:06,010 question and says such an interesting   551 00:21:02,679 --> 00:21:08,679 question was the Queen at the with the   552 00:21:06,010 --> 00:21:12,640 king at John Aaron's bedside during his   553 00:21:08,679 --> 00:21:14,740 final moments and pycelle says no the   554 00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:18,450 the Queen and the children were on their   555 00:21:14,740 --> 00:21:20,980 way to Casterly Rock with Lord Tywin and   556 00:21:18,450 --> 00:21:23,620 pycelle actually had to inform them of   557 00:21:20,980 --> 00:21:25,270 John Aaron's death in a letter and he   558 00:21:23,620 --> 00:21:26,500 says it was the heaviest letter he ever   559 00:21:25,270 --> 00:21:29,650 wrote so right here   560 00:21:26,500 --> 00:21:31,600 we kind of get I mean not semblance of   561 00:21:29,650 --> 00:21:34,120 all proof but Cersei wasn't here for   562 00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:37,179 this shit and so she you know that he he   563 00:21:34,120 --> 00:21:39,460 wrote to inform her not to and not like   564 00:21:37,179 --> 00:21:42,420 obviously fucking duh like that's what   565 00:21:39,460 --> 00:21:46,510 he wrote for but like it's not a Oh   566 00:21:42,420 --> 00:21:48,790 terrible news it's hey person I spy for   567 00:21:46,510 --> 00:21:51,910 ya here's this information there's a new   568 00:21:48,790 --> 00:21:54,510 development now we know that pretty   569 00:21:51,910 --> 00:21:56,980 quickly after John Aaron's death Roberts   570 00:21:54,510 --> 00:21:59,290 heading up into the north yeah sending   571 00:21:56,980 --> 00:22:01,270 letters do you think did Cersei turn   572 00:21:59,290 --> 00:22:03,820 around immediately does it say in there   573 00:22:01,270 --> 00:22:07,450 or did she head off to Casterly Rock   574 00:22:03,820 --> 00:22:10,390 no I I don't know maybe so I cuz I never   575 00:22:07,450 --> 00:22:12,220 knew that she until this read that she   576 00:22:10,390 --> 00:22:13,080 was on her way to Casterly Rock with   577 00:22:12,220 --> 00:22:16,169 Tywin   578 00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:17,460 alone not with Robert like ya know maybe   579 00:22:16,169 --> 00:22:20,279 her and the the kids said turn around   580 00:22:17,460 --> 00:22:23,759 and Tywin continued onward I don't know   581 00:22:20,279 --> 00:22:25,110 but he continues by cell continue saying   582 00:22:23,759 --> 00:22:27,389 come to see me as often as you'd like   583 00:22:25,110 --> 00:22:29,850 Lord ederoar Eddard I am here to serve   584 00:22:27,389 --> 00:22:31,139 and that things yes but serve hoping and   585 00:22:29,850 --> 00:22:33,029 so yeah   586 00:22:31,139 --> 00:22:34,769 Ned is fuckin distrustful of this guy   587 00:22:33,029 --> 00:22:36,869 and knows that he's serving someone else   588 00:22:34,769 --> 00:22:38,850 but still but still he's offering him   589 00:22:36,869 --> 00:22:40,739 all this information so Ned heads back   590 00:22:38,850 --> 00:22:42,960 to his chambers and on the way he gets   591 00:22:40,739 --> 00:22:45,269 two steps to the tower the hand he sees   592 00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:47,519 Arya balancing on one leg windmilling   593 00:22:45,269 --> 00:22:50,009 our arms to try to stay up so Ned asks   594 00:22:47,519 --> 00:22:52,230 what are you doing and she says that   595 00:22:50,009 --> 00:22:55,499 Syrio says a water dancer can stand on   596 00:22:52,230 --> 00:22:58,649 one toe for hours and so Ned teasingly   597 00:22:55,499 --> 00:23:02,909 and I like to ask which toe and she you   598 00:22:58,649 --> 00:23:04,679 know she and that ass you sure you got   599 00:23:02,909 --> 00:23:06,659 to do it here cuz that's a pretty long   600 00:23:04,679 --> 00:23:10,379 hard fall down these steps a water   601 00:23:06,659 --> 00:23:12,389 dancer never falls now what I what I   602 00:23:10,379 --> 00:23:15,299 immediately thought of would this stuff   603 00:23:12,389 --> 00:23:18,960 and never have before is brand never   604 00:23:15,299 --> 00:23:20,940 falls yeah never and he even said it in   605 00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:21,330 his chapter before this one never never   606 00:23:20,940 --> 00:23:24,239 never   607 00:23:21,330 --> 00:23:25,859 and she's here saying the same stone and   608 00:23:24,239 --> 00:23:27,779 especially with the fall like never   609 00:23:25,859 --> 00:23:29,429 falls that's exactly what brand said   610 00:23:27,779 --> 00:23:31,289 before he fell to his well I think it's   611 00:23:29,429 --> 00:23:34,019 interesting that bran is thinking I   612 00:23:31,289 --> 00:23:36,690 never fall whereas Arya is aspiring to   613 00:23:34,019 --> 00:23:39,179 be this water dancer who never fell so   614 00:23:36,690 --> 00:23:41,309 it's sort of that weird but she stops   615 00:23:39,179 --> 00:23:42,720 balancing herself puts her leg down and   616 00:23:41,309 --> 00:23:45,749 asks will bran come to live with us now   617 00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:47,580 that he's awake and no thanks back to   618 00:23:45,749 --> 00:23:49,830 the night they received that the Raven   619 00:23:47,580 --> 00:23:51,779 arrived with word of brand and how Ned   620 00:23:49,830 --> 00:23:54,539 had gathered up the girls Arya and Sansa   621 00:23:51,779 --> 00:23:57,269 and took them out to the godswood yeah   622 00:23:54,539 --> 00:23:58,950 to stand a silent vigil for however they   623 00:23:57,269 --> 00:24:01,590 don't have a legit where would heart   624 00:23:58,950 --> 00:24:03,989 tree here they only have a great oak it   625 00:24:01,590 --> 00:24:06,210 is not an actual where would in King's   626 00:24:03,989 --> 00:24:08,460 Landing so they kneel before it they   627 00:24:06,210 --> 00:24:10,200 offer their thanks for bran the girls   628 00:24:08,460 --> 00:24:12,720 ended up falling asleep pretty early on   629 00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:14,639 so Ned kept his vigil alone and when   630 00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:17,489 they awoke Sansa said that she had   631 00:24:14,639 --> 00:24:21,269 dreamed of bran and he was smiling and   632 00:24:17,489 --> 00:24:24,029 then Arya also said she dreamt of bran   633 00:24:21,269 --> 00:24:25,800 yeah and that he was a knight yes did   634 00:24:24,029 --> 00:24:28,830 they share a dream   635 00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:30,360 I don't know like cuz I mean I'm you   636 00:24:28,830 --> 00:24:32,940 could always make the claim you know no   637 00:24:30,360 --> 00:24:34,500 they just happened to have a but I like   638 00:24:32,940 --> 00:24:36,420 the way that it said that when they woke   639 00:24:34,500 --> 00:24:38,960 they were both surrounded by the blood   640 00:24:36,420 --> 00:24:42,420 dragon leaves was that blood dragon   641 00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:44,670 dragons breath breath the dark red   642 00:24:42,420 --> 00:24:48,720 blooms of dragon's breath surrounded the   643 00:24:44,670 --> 00:24:51,990 girls where they lay yeah and I is that   644 00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:54,630 a foreshadowing of their entire story   645 00:24:51,990 --> 00:24:56,429 just there there's dragon fire coming   646 00:24:54,630 --> 00:24:58,380 forward well I mean guys I think that's   647 00:24:56,429 --> 00:25:00,059 just a pretty startling image to Ned of   648 00:24:58,380 --> 00:25:02,010 it almost would look like his two   649 00:25:00,059 --> 00:25:04,380 daughters are lying dead before yeah   650 00:25:02,010 --> 00:25:06,330 and so he's keeping this vigil thanking   651 00:25:04,380 --> 00:25:08,400 the gods for bringing his one son back   652 00:25:06,330 --> 00:25:10,500 and he and you know they're not in the   653 00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:12,300 north like we get that pretty painted   654 00:25:10,500 --> 00:25:14,460 pretty clearly this is an old oak that   655 00:25:12,300 --> 00:25:16,980 they're praying to and giving thanks to   656 00:25:14,460 --> 00:25:19,350 and they're in the south surrounded by   657 00:25:16,980 --> 00:25:21,780 all this finery and everything so the   658 00:25:19,350 --> 00:25:26,300 girls are in danger I think it's sort of   659 00:25:21,780 --> 00:25:30,179 yeah what that's the wrong town to know   660 00:25:26,300 --> 00:25:30,630 it he starts laying some truths on are   661 00:25:30,179 --> 00:25:32,280 you   662 00:25:30,630 --> 00:25:34,770 well are ya asks if bran can still be a   663 00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:36,840 knight now and Ned sees no use in lying   664 00:25:34,770 --> 00:25:39,059 to her and he says no but he could still   665 00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:41,309 be Lord of a holdfast or sit on a King's   666 00:25:39,059 --> 00:25:44,040 Council he could raise castles like   667 00:25:41,309 --> 00:25:46,650 Brandon ibill he could sail across the   668 00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:50,000 sunset sea is the captain of a ship and   669 00:25:46,650 --> 00:25:52,890 Arya asks oh but he he thinks to himself   670 00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:55,770 he will never run beside his Wolf again   671 00:25:52,890 --> 00:25:57,840 or lie with a woman or hold his own son   672 00:25:55,770 --> 00:25:59,970 in his hands and he thinks this with   673 00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:04,110 just such a deep sad yes he's trying to   674 00:25:59,970 --> 00:26:06,059 you know not scare Arya so I like that   675 00:26:04,110 --> 00:26:08,790 the first thing he mentioned was run   676 00:26:06,059 --> 00:26:11,070 with the wolf yeah and that's exactly   677 00:26:08,790 --> 00:26:12,660 what he was that's what branch chapter   678 00:26:11,070 --> 00:26:15,030 two opened up on yeah was that he   679 00:26:12,660 --> 00:26:16,470 couldn't run and so yeah Arya asks if   680 00:26:15,030 --> 00:26:18,000 she can do these things so Ned give   681 00:26:16,470 --> 00:26:20,070 their kids on the brow and says you will   682 00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:22,290 marry a king and rule his castle and   683 00:26:20,070 --> 00:26:24,030 have his sons and daughters and it says   684 00:26:22,290 --> 00:26:26,460 Arya screwed up her face yeah and this   685 00:26:24,030 --> 00:26:28,740 is all back in the present again yes she   686 00:26:26,460 --> 00:26:30,540 says no that's Sansa she gets up so she   687 00:26:28,740 --> 00:26:31,830 gets up and she resumed her balancing   688 00:26:30,540 --> 00:26:34,200 like she ain't having that shit   689 00:26:31,830 --> 00:26:36,390 no no so Ned sighs you know what's he   690 00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:38,010 gonna do when he leaves her there and it   691 00:26:36,390 --> 00:26:39,270 goes into his chambers he splashes some   692 00:26:38,010 --> 00:26:41,610 cold water on his head   693 00:26:39,270 --> 00:26:43,440 he's drying himself off when Allen the   694 00:26:41,610 --> 00:26:45,390 captain of his guard comes in and tells   695 00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:47,730 him that Lord Petyr Baelish is asking   696 00:26:45,390 --> 00:26:49,260 for an audience so Ned tells him have   697 00:26:47,730 --> 00:26:50,070 him escorted to my solar I'll see him   698 00:26:49,260 --> 00:26:53,340 immediately   699 00:26:50,070 --> 00:26:55,020 yeah and so he walks in and Petyr   700 00:26:53,340 --> 00:26:57,150 Baelish Littlefinger is sitting in the   701 00:26:55,020 --> 00:26:59,670 window watching the Kings guard practice   702 00:26:57,150 --> 00:27:02,550 down in the field and he has a few   703 00:26:59,670 --> 00:27:04,680 choice words for Selmy just saying you   704 00:27:02,550 --> 00:27:07,050 know just be only his mind whereas sharp   705 00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:08,520 of his blade he think the council   706 00:27:07,050 --> 00:27:10,380 meetings would be a great deal livelier   707 00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:12,630 and I like that Ned defends him he   708 00:27:10,380 --> 00:27:14,310 stands up and you know and puts out that   709 00:27:12,630 --> 00:27:16,620 he has a lot of respect for Selmy and   710 00:27:14,310 --> 00:27:18,570 good thing he's finally got his trust in   711 00:27:16,620 --> 00:27:20,160 at least one person that deserves it   712 00:27:18,570 --> 00:27:22,340 yeah you know yeah he's come to have a   713 00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:24,390 deep respect for the Lord Commander but   714 00:27:22,340 --> 00:27:26,250 Littlefinger remarks that he should do   715 00:27:24,390 --> 00:27:28,980 good in the tourney at least and Ned   716 00:27:26,250 --> 00:27:30,780 gives just not about all about who wins   717 00:27:28,980 --> 00:27:31,350 yes what the fuck Peter wants what are   718 00:27:30,780 --> 00:27:32,640 you doing here   719 00:27:31,350 --> 00:27:35,250 what do you would it why you here and   720 00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:37,530 Peter was like well I made a promise to   721 00:27:35,250 --> 00:27:39,600 your wife and I plan on keeping that   722 00:27:37,530 --> 00:27:42,720 promise so that kind of takes me out of   723 00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:44,730 back he's he's finding it hard to trust   724 00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:48,560 in Baelish who just strikes him as too   725 00:27:44,730 --> 00:27:50,430 clever by half he thinks but he   726 00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:52,590 Littlefinger asks him have you thought   727 00:27:50,430 --> 00:27:54,450 to question the hand servants and Ned   728 00:27:52,590 --> 00:27:57,390 thinks that most of them left with Liza   729 00:27:54,450 --> 00:27:59,310 she did take the whole of her household   730 00:27:57,390 --> 00:28:00,840 guard back to the Eyrie all those   731 00:27:59,310 --> 00:28:02,970 closest to her husband anything she did   732 00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:04,620 her and she did Ned no favors in doing   733 00:28:02,970 --> 00:28:07,680 that because he has no one to question   734 00:28:04,620 --> 00:28:09,810 but Littlefinger corrects him most not   735 00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:12,540 all a few still remain here in King's   736 00:28:09,810 --> 00:28:14,760 Landing and there's a pregnant girl in   737 00:28:12,540 --> 00:28:17,070 the in the kitchens and you know a   738 00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:19,260 couple other nobodies basically but the   739 00:28:17,070 --> 00:28:22,110 big name we get mentioned is Jon Arryn   740 00:28:19,260 --> 00:28:23,730 Squire Sir Hugh of the Vale yes and it   741 00:28:22,110 --> 00:28:26,280 says that the King knighted the boy   742 00:28:23,730 --> 00:28:28,530 after Lord Aaron's death Ned sees   743 00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:32,610 nothing the fuck wrong with that yes   744 00:28:28,530 --> 00:28:35,070 like nothing what why why yeah and so   745 00:28:32,610 --> 00:28:37,200 it's it's crazy because you know again   746 00:28:35,070 --> 00:28:39,060 knowing that he and Lysa are the ones   747 00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:40,950 that planned everything these four were   748 00:28:39,060 --> 00:28:43,380 left intentionally they weren't brought   749 00:28:40,950 --> 00:28:45,000 because he needed to have somebody to   750 00:28:43,380 --> 00:28:46,980 give the pieces because obviously   751 00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:48,770 fucking Ned needs the bread crumbs   752 00:28:46,980 --> 00:28:52,590 because he can't figure shit out   753 00:28:48,770 --> 00:28:54,840 whatsoever and having that   754 00:28:52,590 --> 00:28:56,280 stuff in place he's just you know cuz if   755 00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:58,320 my first thought was oh he's got these   756 00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:59,880 plans did he teach them what to say   757 00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:01,800 he's got them there for that purpose   758 00:28:59,880 --> 00:29:03,630 that's why they're fucking yeah there is   759 00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:05,640 he's feeding them this information even   760 00:29:03,630 --> 00:29:08,910 if he's not scripting them and teaching   761 00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:11,430 them their lines he's planting the the   762 00:29:08,910 --> 00:29:13,920 words that they need to know to give to   763 00:29:11,430 --> 00:29:16,050 fucking Ned when he shows up yeah and so   764 00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:18,030 Ned says that he'll sent for them in   765 00:29:16,050 --> 00:29:19,950 Littlefinger Scouts again and calls net   766 00:29:18,030 --> 00:29:22,020 over to the window and he points out and   767 00:29:19,950 --> 00:29:23,400 he says do you see across the yard there   768 00:29:22,020 --> 00:29:25,890 at the door to the armory you see the   769 00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:27,690 boy and that asks what off him and he   770 00:29:25,890 --> 00:29:29,400 says he reports to Lord Varys the spider   771 00:29:27,690 --> 00:29:31,380 has taken a great interest in you and   772 00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:32,730 your doings and he directs them to the   773 00:29:31,380 --> 00:29:33,960 wall now look at the wall you see the   774 00:29:32,730 --> 00:29:36,600 guardsmen they're leaning on the   775 00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:38,610 ramparts another embarrasses little   776 00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:40,740 whisperers nope this one belongs to the   777 00:29:38,610 --> 00:29:42,750 Queen and he says notice that he has a   778 00:29:40,740 --> 00:29:45,890 very fine door of view of the door to   779 00:29:42,750 --> 00:29:48,300 your tower to know who calls on you and   780 00:29:45,890 --> 00:29:51,390 he just sets the red cape is full of   781 00:29:48,300 --> 00:29:53,190 eyes dude like you are being so dumb net   782 00:29:51,390 --> 00:29:55,410 has no taste for these intrigues as   783 00:29:53,190 --> 00:29:57,060 we've learned but he suddenly starts to   784 00:29:55,410 --> 00:29:58,920 feel uncomfortable with that guard just   785 00:29:57,060 --> 00:30:00,810 being able to look in the window so he   786 00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:02,520 moves away do you think any of those   787 00:30:00,810 --> 00:30:05,610 ones he pointed out our actual spies   788 00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:07,410 maybe is because part of me was that was   789 00:30:05,610 --> 00:30:10,830 that like his are they actually who   790 00:30:07,410 --> 00:30:12,210 spies he says are they his spies or are   791 00:30:10,830 --> 00:30:14,670 they fucking spies I think so because I   792 00:30:12,210 --> 00:30:16,980 think between obviously we get sort of   793 00:30:14,670 --> 00:30:18,390 the three spy masters here we seriously   794 00:30:16,980 --> 00:30:20,370 we get Varys and we get little finger I   795 00:30:18,390 --> 00:30:22,470 think each of them are sort of aware of   796 00:30:20,370 --> 00:30:24,030 the top layer of spies and then like   797 00:30:22,470 --> 00:30:25,770 maybe two or three of they're like   798 00:30:24,030 --> 00:30:28,830 second level and then they've each got   799 00:30:25,770 --> 00:30:30,480 like they're good spies and they're off   800 00:30:28,830 --> 00:30:32,010 the grid so maybe that one actually is   801 00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:34,110 little fan it is a boy so we know the   802 00:30:32,010 --> 00:30:37,350 little birds yeah so maybe that one is   803 00:30:34,110 --> 00:30:39,360 Varys in the guardsmen is that Guardsman   804 00:30:37,350 --> 00:30:40,890 you know is the Queen's so I think a   805 00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:42,720 little finger actually is on it and I   806 00:30:40,890 --> 00:30:44,340 just I don't think it's like I don't   807 00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:45,690 think I think Farris knows little finger   808 00:30:44,340 --> 00:30:47,310 knows that's it well there she's   809 00:30:45,690 --> 00:30:48,930 probably know is that that once known   810 00:30:47,310 --> 00:30:50,460 well sir she probably thinks that nobody   811 00:30:48,930 --> 00:30:51,870 knows her shoe but they well like the   812 00:30:50,460 --> 00:30:55,440 only one who's not aware that there's   813 00:30:51,870 --> 00:30:56,910 fucking spies is Ned anyways so it   814 00:30:55,440 --> 00:31:00,510 doesn't really matter if little thing   815 00:30:56,910 --> 00:31:02,310 you know Peter tells him yes is there   816 00:31:00,510 --> 00:31:05,309 anybody in your house that you trust   817 00:31:02,310 --> 00:31:08,159 utterly and completely and that says yes   818 00:31:05,309 --> 00:31:10,019 and great then I have a great piece of   819 00:31:08,159 --> 00:31:12,360 real estate in valaria that I'd like to   820 00:31:10,019 --> 00:31:14,249 sell you for cheap like I fucking love   821 00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:16,679 the salesman bitch that little bit just   822 00:31:14,249 --> 00:31:19,259 goes you're so dumb and he says the   823 00:31:16,679 --> 00:31:21,090 wiser answer was no my Lords like you   824 00:31:19,259 --> 00:31:23,970 can't really trust anybody right now   825 00:31:21,090 --> 00:31:25,919 but he says said this paragon of yours   826 00:31:23,970 --> 00:31:29,580 to serve you with a veil and the others   827 00:31:25,919 --> 00:31:31,289 you'll be watched extensively but even   828 00:31:29,580 --> 00:31:32,460 Faris cannot keep watch on every single   829 00:31:31,289 --> 00:31:38,159 man in

was wrong to distrust you and we get the   833 00:31:42,299 --> 00:31:47,820 closing line of the chat which is a very   834 00:31:44,399 --> 00:31:49,619 big one in the show as well and so I god   835

00:32:15,330 not even distrusting him to a level that   844 00:32:13,169 --> 00:32:17,129 is intelligent right is he still playing   845 00:32:15,330 --> 00:32:18,990 into one middle finger why I

able to dive more into that here   857 00:32:44,279 --> 00:32:46,889 because I think his next chapter will   858 00:32:45,659 --> 00:32:49,759 probably be going through the book a   859 00:32:46,889

Who's the Louis CK of Westeros? Are there parallels between the type of harassment we see in the realm and the type that is so rampant in real life? Today on the podcast, three men get together to discuss the treatment of women. Is there something ironic about that? Find out by listening in as we welcome the former head of HR at Casterly Rock, the watcher of the north, the Morty to our Rick; Martin Gleissner of the Stocktown Vlog.

Better late than never, here's our take on Game of Thrones S7E3, the Queen's Juuuuuustice! An Ironborn captain delivers some hypocritical sass, the Queen of Thorns goes out on a high, we see the probable end of Ellaria Sand (extramarital sex) and Euron Greyjoy just continues to love life. Oh, and the unsullied hit Casterly Rock with a one punch takedown- KO!!

We'd like that.

On today’s episode, co-producer Rush Perez are talking about Game of Thrones season 7, episode 4. This is Bed Stuy Vocal Fry, a sister pod to Bri Books, focusing on the shows Rush and I can't stop talking about. Thanks for listening! Subscribe on iTunes and SoundCloud. @bsvocalfry on Twitter.   1:15 - The episode looks at 4 locations throughout kingdom, starting with King’s Landing. 1:30 – When we look at King’s Landing, we’ve Game of Thrones Cersei talking to a banker from Braavos. They’re the Sallie Mae of Game of Thrones. They always get their money. They’re the student loan debtors at Game of Thrones. 1:55 – The crown owes a lot to Iron Bank. One of the things Cersei gets to is that she’s holding on tooth and nail to the power she does possess. When she’s talking in King’s Landing to Iron Bank, she says the debt will be paid within a fortnight. She intends to pay by robbing the Tyrell's, the house she destroyed. It seems like the deal is sealed. 2:45 what’s up in Winterfell? Some new kids on the block in the ‘fell, aka that’s where they live. 3:00 – There’s constant reunions in Winterfell. Last episode we saw bran come back to Winterfell after not being there since season 2, when Theon took over. 3:30 – Bran last episode had a reunion with Sansa. Now it’s Arya’s turn! The scene starts with Arya on the horse, overlooking the home she hasn’t been to in six seasons. The last time she was there her entire family was still alive. Now her mom, dad, oldest brother, younger brother all dead. 4:00 – Arya reconnects with Sansa then Bran. It felt truly like the circle is complete they’re all back together, and so different. The scene of Arya wheeling bran as Sansa walks nearby, you realize how much life has happened to these kids. As much has changed in their short lives in the show. You get the sense things at Winterfell are closer to being better, not fixed. But everyone’s favorite creepy uncle LIttlefinger is lurking! 4:55 – Did you catch Bran saying “Chaos is a ladder?” it’s like, Littelfinger is SHOOK. When he realizes that Brans out of nowhere reciting this. 5:15 Littelfinger strikes me as a character who doesn’t’ buy into magic, White Walkers. He’s into palace intrigue, what he can manipulate. I think it’s the first time LIttlefinger realizes he’s up against something out of his control that he can’t outsmart. 5:45 – Bran was creeping out everyone. I think it’s because he’s become the 3-eyed-raven, he’s not Bran anymore. He’s something else, but still has bran’s memories. 6:00 – he’s the collective memory of the universe. He says that to Myra, in what may be the most cold-blooded scene in the series. I’m like, UGH! I was so happy the season bran was beyond the wall. Because I was like good, you’re a sour boy with a bad attitude. Like, we get it, but still! UGH! You could’ve been like, thank you…no one wanted to wheel and carry you around. It just shows you, he’s the 3-eyed-raven. I thought that he’d be like an apprentice. But now he IS the memory. 7:12 – it was accelerated because the original 3-eyed was killed. Whose fault? Bran’s! 7:25 – Cersei’s in King’s landing, the Winterfell kids have returned and they’re worse for the wear. Now in Dragonstone 7:30 – you have Khaleesi and Jon Snow. Daenerys is up against a wall.     7:55 it’s because she started the season with a strong hand. She had the Greyjoy siblings with their navy. He had the Sand Snakes. She had the Tyrells/ Highgarden, the richest house in the kingdom. She had all that, and in the course of three episodes she lost all her allies. She still has dragons and an army, but no longer any Westerosi allies. 8:40 the closes she has to an ally is Jon, who is only there to dig and go. He’s not trying to be anyone’s king of anyone’s kingdoms. He’s’ like, these White Walkers are in route, we should make haste. 9:00 Daenerys discovers a mine of dragon glass under Dragonstone. That scene felt cop-out-y, like “a world of everything we need.” Yeah, you’d think this is perfect, but what’s gonna go wrong? Everything as to this point. 9:30 it’s too convenient. He spent 2 episodes trying to convince Daenerys, then he shows her pictures in the cave and she’s like I believe you. Seemed too quick for a turnaround. But the plot has to move forward. Clock is ticking. 10:00 Daenerys decides Jon can start mining and she says she’ll fight for the north, only if Jon bends the knee. 10:25 – After Dany and Jon have discovery in cave and romantic tense sexual tension…it’s creepy…but Targaryen’s wed brother and sisters for centuries…. 10:50 – after the cave discovery, Daenerys finds out from Tyrion that their plan to take Casterly Rock has failed, and the unsullied fleet has been burned by Euron Greyjoy. She finds out Yara has been taken captive, and she’s like screw y’all I Game of Thrones these dragons. I’ll go ride on them and figure things out. But her council try and talk her out of attacking king’s landing by appealing to her better nature, saying if you do this you’re just like your father who did the same. 11:45 – we forgot, there’s a return of a character—Theon and what remains of the Greyjoy fleet. 12:05 – Theon comes up on the beach, looking for Daenerys’ help to find his sister. But she’s’ gone, and he has an awkward reunion with Jon snow, which is awkward AF because Theon took Winterfell. 12:30 – Theon asks Jon where Daenerys is. Where is she? 12:45 – we circle back on the rose road, and It’s Jamie, Bron and the Tarley's, who were bannermen. Having come back from their victory in Highgarden. 13:00 – the Tyrrells were the richest family in the kingdom, and had the most fertile lands. They were the family that supplied the army and kingdom. 13:30 – an important point—Randall Tarly comes up to Jaime, says we Game of Thrones gold through city gates. What’s on the road is the food. That’s important to know because they hear something. 14:00 I think the noise is the sound of a thousand butterflies. AKA a Dothrak horde that they’re using as a plot device. They come out of NOWEHRE at the drop of a hat. 14:22 – how far is Highgarden from Dragonstone? Have they been riding horses for 2 weeks and no one knew?? Those are a ton of Dothrak. A ton of logistic questions about this show and episode. 15:06 – as you see the Dothrak horde—which is scary—you see the Lannister army is shook. And then…we hear a screech. And see two gigantic black wings come out. 15:30 – the look on Jamie’s face is the look you have when you look at your bank account and it’s low, and you see you haven’t paid your student loan payment this month. It’s like, this is gonna get much worse. Jamie looks like debt. 15:55 – hell breaks loose! There are flame everywhere! 16:00 – flames everywhere. On all surfaces—as soon as those fires come out of the dragon’s mouth, it lays waste to all the booty Cersei was literally banking on. They make a BBQ. This is a cookout now. 16:30 – a disturbing and interesting effect was, you saw people turn into ash. And it would like, be swept away into dust. 16:45 – on epis like this of Game of Thrones, I want to talk to prop masters! The horse trainer union! The guys doing pyrotechnics in the sky, it’s just so…you have to realize they’re creating a world! It’s giving me "Battle of the Bastards" vibes. 17:45 – my dragon sound effects! Jamie was shook. 17:53 –Bron runs to a caravan, and he gets the crossbow that Quiberon shows Cersei that he thinks could kill a dragon. He shoots and Daenerys dodges. 18:25 – Bron’s trying to hit Daenerys with crossbow. She realizes it, and goes straight towards Bron. She’s not zigging or zagging. 18:45 – she’s on her Rickon Stark game. Maybe they’re all related! When arrows come their way, they run towards them! 19:00 – he goes down but not all the way down. For a second, I’m like is this how she’s gonna die?? She gets off the dragon, tries to get arrow out of his shoulder, and then we see Jamie. And he sees the dragon down, and he sees Daenerys. all the while, Tyrion is on the sidelines watching it. Jamie is running towards Daenerys. Dany turns around, the dragon turns around and breathes a jet of fire. Bron grabs Jamie, pulls him into the river, and episode ends with Jamie drowning in the water as the screen goes to black. 20:20 – It’s insane. It was the craziest most intense episode I’ve watched in a long time. 20:30 – we haven’t seen a battle in a long time. We’ve seen a few sword-to-sword clashes, but otherwise lots of mutilations and surprise killings. But you’re seeing, this is what war looks like. As Tyrion surveys, he zeroes in on a horse on fire. It shows you war. We haven’t seen a badass war in so long. This one was so good! It gave us more dragon! 21:40 – we haven’t seen this much dragon action ever probably. 21:50 – we’ve seen it in Mereen when she was rescued and the episode where she takes out Slaver’s Bay and unleashes the dragons. But nothing like this. This was like, it was only one. 22:15 – wild predictions for episode 5? It’ll be near the end of first half of last season. 22:40 – I think that you’re gonna see Daenerys getting more assertive with Tyrion and with Varys, because they were the two telling her to be more cautious and to play it their way. She’s seeing none of Tyrion’s plans worked. It was kind of on him. The only play she did on her own worked pretty well and took out most of the Lannister army what does Cersei have? Gold but no food. What happens with Theon? 23:30 – I have an idea, Theon gets to king’s landing, either kills Euron or sacrifices himself for Yara. I think he’s dead before end of the season. 23:50 – as you were talking, I was thinking he hasn’t had his “ultimate sacrifice” redemption yet. 24:00 – I think what’s coming is as showdown of the Lannister kids. Once Cersei finds out Tyrion is why Jamie’s dead captured or injured…. whoa. when she finds out the role that he’s had in whatever happens to Jamie, Cersei’s gonna come after Tyrion. 24:55 – and Jamie just found out it wasn’t Tyrion that killed Joffrey, it was Oleanna. 25:10 – FMK segment! Rush’s picks: Yara (MARRY), Lady Oleanna (FUCK), Myranda (KILL). Brionna’s picks: Ned Stark (FUCK), Jamie (MARRY), The Mountain (pre-zombification (KILL) Thanks for listening!

Join Meredith Geddes and Jeremy Baker from CFOX as they discuss episode 4 of Game of Thrones Season 7. Arya returns to Winterfell, where she reunites with Sansa and spars with Brienne, both of whom are unnerved by her exceptional fighting skills. Bran unemotionally bids farewell to Meera, divulging that he is no longer the boy she accompanied through the North. Littlefinger presents Bran with the dagger that was previously used in his attempted assassination. Cersei assures the Iron Bank a full return on their investment, as a train carrying gold from Highgarden is on its way to King's Landing. In a cave filled with dragonglass, Jon reveals ancient paintings to Daenerys depicting the First Men and the Children of the Forest joining forces against the undead. Later, Daenerys learns of the sacking of Highgarden by Lannister forces and realizes her attack on Casterly Rock was a distraction. Despite Tyrion's protests, she decides to take action. Led by Daenerys riding Drogon, the Dothraki cavalry catches the Lannister army by surprise and decimate or capture its remaining forces. Drogon is wounded during the fight by a spear fired from the scorpion ballista. Jaime's desperate charge on horseback at a vulnerable Daenerys is thwarted by Drogon spewing fire. Bronn tackles Jaime into the river in time to save him.

Arya returns to Winterfell, where she is told by the guards to fuck off, but eventually is reunited with Sansa in the crypt.  Later she spars with Brienne, revealing her badassitude. Bran says see ya to Meera.  Littlefinger gifts the Valyrian steel dagger to Bran, who seems unimpressed, but later imparts it to Arya, seeming to be aware the course of events this has set in motion. The emissary from the Iron Bank reminds Cersei bitch better have my money, while Jamie and Bronn escort the loot train from Highgarden. Jon invites Daenerys to the dragonglass mine, where ancient cave paintings conveniently depict the First Men and the Children of the Forest joining forces against the white walkers.  Daenerys soon learns that capturing Casterly Rock gained them nothing and the Unsullied are stranded for the time being. Daenerys is pissed and says it's Dragon time, but Jon cautions her against proving herself to be as bad as the Westerosi rulers she purports to replace.  She goes ahead and unleashes the Dothraki horde on Jamie's forces, and opens up a serious can of whoopass, what with the Dragonbreath and the incenerating and slaughtering. Bronn wounds Drogon with a shot from the scorpion.  Jamie takes a chance to charge Daenerys with a lance while she's tending to Drogon, but almost takes a point-blank blast from Drogon. At the last moment Bronn tackles him into the river, and both begin to sink in their armor.

In this episode, Blake and Jinny talk about the greatest episode of the entire series, when Jon and Dany finally meet, Euron presenting the Sand Snakes to Cersei at King's landing, Bran's return to Winterfell, Jorah's return to health, the Unsullied at Casterly Rock, and Jaime's confrontation with Olenna Tyrell.

Hope you enjoy this week's installment of Still Smug Book Talk with Ser Duncan, covering Game of Thrones Season 7 Episode 3 "The Queen's Justice". We'll take a dive into the world of A Song of Ice and Fire books, make comparisons and draw connections between the screen and the pages. This week we look at how Tyrion's infiltration of Casterly Rock is reminiscent of another legendary figure, the only other in Westerosi history to take Casterly Rock. We examine similarities in things that get both Cersei and the Mad King aroused sexually. We take a look at Bran Stark and investigate the theory that our Bran is also all of the famous Brandon Starks from the time of the Long Night until the present.
