Arya grows suspicious. Tyrion answers a good question. And Timothy, Jacob and Shayne can't believe how much crazy time travelling and off-screen character development is happening in this latest season. Is Dany becoming the Mad Queen? Have a listen. Inform your maesters!
Justin Robert Young joins us this week. We're talking Eastwatch. Is Cersei faking? How does she know everything happening? Is Dany turning into her father? Are dragon's Targaryen metal detectors? Just what *IS* Littlefingers goal anyway? Who's going to die? We mull all of these over & more. Tell us what you think.
Jessica and Dean abandon the more comedic aspects of their routine and they dive deep into the ethics of Westeros. How much blood is on the hands of the characters we all care about? Is Dany just like every other lord in her pursuit of breaking the wheel? Is Jaime Lannister still handsome, brave, strong, and clever? Jessica and Dean also pivot into some of the weaker elements of the plot this week, and really go after some of the issues of travel times, character behavior, and wight abduction capers. Has this episode exposed the lack of direction from George R.R. Martin? Does the plotting feel a bit rushed? Thanks again to our our listeners for all their great content this week!
