“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 tentare di abituarsi al suo nuovo ruolo a corte, o forse meglio dire, secondo lui, l'assenza dello stesso. Ancora non rassegnato alla perdita dello status di Primo Cavaliere, Tyrion va alla ricerca di Varys per chiedere di più e mettersi in pari col gossip di corte e le decisioni governative. Prima del gran finale, incrocia il giovane Ser Loras con cui ha un interessantissimo scambio di battute sull'amore. Con Shae, nelle stanze spoglie e frugali di Varys, ha un "ultimo" incontro passionale che si conclude con lei che rivela di sentire ancora il cantastorie Symon Lingua d'Argento. Seguiremo poi Tyrion nel nuovo Concilio Ristretto di Joffrey Baratheon, fatto di rose e leoni insieme. I Tyrell chiedono e ottengono, i Lannister si ritrovano più potenti che mai. Con l'aiuto di Littlefinger riescono addirittura a spezzare l'apparente neutralità della Valle, mentre tramite i racconti di Lord Tarly ci viene raccontata la disfatta di Duskendale e il ritiro delle truppe del Nord. Altra cosa stranissima a cui assistiamo è la notizia del recente matrimonio del Re del Nord con una Westerling, figlia di una famiglia fedele ai Lannister caduta in bassa fortuna con l'andare del tempo. Perché Robb Stark non tiene fede alla sua promessa ai Frey e perché Tywin non è affatto disturbato dalla disobbedienza dei suoi vassalli? A Tyrion tutto questo sembra irreale, ma poi ricorda di quelle famose lettere mandate dal padre qualche tempo fa e non tarda a fare due più due, o almeno è quello che viene da pensare a noi lettori. Alla fine, il concilio si trasforma in una riunione di famiglia... quattro Lannister in una stanza, cosa potrà mai andare storto? Tutto. Eh, infatti veniamo subito informati della decisione di Tywin di far risposare Cersei. Ancora giovane e fertile, deve trovare un nuovo marito per dissipare le dicerie che si dicono su di lei e suoi figli. Vengono proposti Lord Balon Greyjoy, Oberyn Martell e lo stesso Willas Tyrell... Cersei però non ne vuole sentir parlare, tanto che esce in fretta e furia dalla stanza, non prima di aver chiesto il permesso al papà. Con Tyrion è diverso, poiché lui è già rassegnato al suo destino. Sposerà Sansa Stark, che lo voglia o no, ogni discussione o obiezione è inutile di fronte alla risoluzione di Tywin Lannister.

Podrik Payne cannot vouch for Tyrion's innocence, which suggests that few will. The last witness is a surprise: Shae. Of course Cersei would have interviewed, and coerced, Sansa's handmaids. But Shae is not only going to lie for Cersei, she's also going to tell the truth.

Tywin is furious. Tyrion realizes that this situation has no good outcomes for Tywin. If Oberyn wins, the Tyrells will be annoyed, and Tyrion freed. If the Mountain wins, Tyrion will be dead and the Martells might crown Myrcella, Plunging Westeros into another civil war.Oberyn outwits and defeats the Mountain, with his poisoned spear. But then stands on the vanquished Clegane's chest to extract a deathbed confession. He gets one, Gregor did rape and murder Elia, and murder her children, but it's Oberyn's deathbed.

Tyrion stands trial for the murder of the king. The prosecution has no end of witnesses, while Tyrion has none. But at the 11th hour a glimmer of hope appears. Mackelly and Simon weigh the scales of justice.Chapter Review:Tyrion Lannister languishes for days in a Red Keep tower cell. He's well-treated and fed as befits his station, but the crime of which he's accused holds only one possible punishment. He's getting advice and daily visits from his uncle Kevan, but neither of them is very optimistic of his chances. Cersei is amassing a deluge of witnesses to testify against him. Tyrion pins his hopes on trial by combat, but knowing that the opponent will be Gregor Clegane, Bronn demurs. The trial, before a three-judge panel of Tywin, Mace Tyrell, and Oberyn Martell, goes very badly for Tyrion. The witnesses either exaggerate, downright lie, or in the case of Varys: accurately report Tyrion's various threats and comments on the dead king. Kevan advises confession and the Night's Watch, but Tyrion doesn't trust his father's mercy.On the final night of the trial, Tyrion is visited in his cell by Oberyn. He's not necessarily there to reassure Tyrion, but knowing that he's doomed he's hoping to get the truth about his sister's death. Tyrion confirms some suspicions: while it was the now dead Lorch who dispatched Princess Rhaenys, it was The Mountain who raped and murdered Elia and killed baby Aegon. But Tyrion denies that Tywin ordered the deaths. Oberyn throws Tyrion a lifeline. He'll be his champion in trial by combat against Clegane.Characters/Places/Names/Events:Tyrion Lannister - Youngest son of Tywin Lannister. Brother to queen Cersei and Jamie Lannister.

Davos confirms Melisandre's story. He's been told that Joffrey died during his wedding feast.

He had opportunity and means but Tyrion can't quite figure out what Joff's motive would've been.On the way back to the Red Keep from the wedding, Tyrion suggests he and Sansa get out of King's Landing before long. Tyrion feels that his nephew's behavior toward him is getting increasingly aggressive and worries it'll end with Tyrion being a head shorter.At the feast, singers sing of Joff, Cersei, and Renly's heroics on the Blackwater, with no mention of Tyrion's efforts to save the city.

Many fine gifts are proffered, not the least of which is Tyrion and Sansa's gift. They give Joff a beautiful book illustrated by the author himself. Joff is not impressed. He is much more impressed by his grandfather's gift of a beautiful Valyrian steel sword. Joff claims prior knowledge of the rare steel and proves it by hacking Tyrion and Sansa's gift to pieces. The king then insists the pair owe him a new gift. Tyrion suggests a Valyrian steel dagger to go with the sword, and describes the dagger used in the attempt on Bran Stark's life.

However, he tells himself that there is no true innocence in Shae.He's reminded that Varys told him that Shae's backstory was not meant to hold up against Cersei's scrutiny.

The Ghosts of Harrenhal: A Song of Ice and Fire Podcast (ASOIAF)
Davos speaks the truth to king Stannis and is rewarded with his freedom and a promotion. Melisandre uses the blood (not all of it, thankfully) of Edric Storm to curse the false kings: Joffrey Baratheon, Balong Greyjoy, and Robb Stark. Mackelly and Simon hope that Robb's string of bad luck is behind him.Chapter Review:Davos Seaworth is brought from the dungeons of Dragonstone by Axel Florent, the brother of his cellmate Alester. Florent shares that he has seen Stannis on the throne in the flames. But a precondition was that he, Axel, become Stannis' Hand of the King. If Davos supports Florent good things will follow, but woe betide Seaworth should he fail to.Stannis asks Davos what he thinks of Floernt's plan to invade Claw Isle as punishment for Lord Celtigar's decision to bend the knee to Joffrey. Davos, Stannis' spirit animal, cannot help himself and dismisses the plan as pointless and unfair. The men of Claw Isle fought and died for Stannis on the Blackwater, while victory would be assured, those people deserve better of their king. Stannis agrees, dismisses Florent and makes Davos his Hand of the King.Enter Melisandre with a plate of swollen leeches. The blood comes from Edric Storm, Robert's bastard son, who is already much beloved within Dragonstone. The three leeches go in the flames each with a curse for Joffrey Baratheon, Balon Greyjoy, and Robb Stark.Characters/Places/Names/Events:Davos Seaworth - The Onion Knight. Former Smuggler, now Hand of The King to Stannis Baratheon.Stannis Baratheon - Lord of Dragonstone, rightful King of the Seven Kingdoms.Melisandre - Red priestess of R'hllor.

The Ghosts of Harrenhal: A Song of Ice and Fire Podcast (ASOIAF)
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.

The Ghosts of Harrenhal: A Song of Ice and Fire Podcast (ASOIAF)
Sansa's dress has arrived. It's as beautiful as she'd hoped but there's a rather large string attached. It's a wedding dress and the groom is Tyrion. Sansa protests. Tyrion commiserates. Joffrey is awful. The whole thing is a fiasco, and their post-wedding bedding goes equally as poorly. Simon and Mackelly keep the receipt for their wedding gift.Chapter Review:Sansa Stark finally gets her long-awaited dress she'd been measured for a while back. She loves it and can't wait for Willas Tyrell to see her in it. She's sure it will make him love her for who she is, not her claim to Winterfell. She has Queen Cersei's entire retinue of handmaids working on beautifying her. Right when she couldn't be any happier about how she looks in the dress, Cersei drops the bomb saying it's wasted on “that gargoyle.” Turns out it's a wedding dress and her groom will be Tyrion Lannister. She refuses and tries to flee, but ultimately concedes to her fate.At the sept, Tyrion offers to call it off, if she'd prefer to marry Lancel Lannister. Sansa figures it doesn't matter. A Lannister is a Lannister. Sansa cries throughout the wedding and things only get worse when Tyrion can't reach Sansa's shoulders to put the Lannister cloak on her. The wedding feast doesn't improve on things, ending with Tyrion threatening to geld King Joffrey.Later in a bedchamber in the Tower of the Hand, the new couple struggle to connect. Sansa is too polite, and too young. Tyrion brings up his previous wife. He makes her undress and get into bed but ultimately can't go through with the bedding. He offers not to touch her until she wants him to. She says that might never happen.Characters/Places/Names/Events:Sansa Stark - Elder daughter of Ned and Catelyn Stark.Tyrion Lannister - Youngest son of Tywin Lannister. Brother to queen Cersei and Jamie Lannister.Margaery Tyrell - Fiancee of King Joffrey Baratheon.Lady Olenna Tyrell - Mother of Lord Mace Tyrell and grandmother to Margaery.Ser Dontos Hollard - Fool to King Joffrey, confidante of Sansa Stark. Has a plan to rescue her, but is rather too fond of a tipple.Willas Tyrell - Heir to Highgarden. In some measure disabled by a horse as a child.Queen Cersei Lannister - Widow of King Robert Baratheon, twin sister of Ser Jamie Lannister. Mother of King Joffrey Baratheon.King Joffrey Baratheon - Bastard son of Jaime Lannister and his twin sister Queen Cersei Lannister. Currently King Joffrey Baratheon First of His Name.

Wir besprechen heute nicht HOUSE OF THE DRAGON, sondern die Serie, die George R. R. Martin berühmt machte: GAME OF THRONES! Genauer gesagt sprechen wir heute über Xenias Lieblingsfolge: DIE GESETZE VON GÖTTERN UND MENSCHEN (OT: THE LAWS OF GODS AND MEN). In der sechsten Folge der vierten Staffel treffen wir auf Stannis und Davos, die die Eiserne Bank von Braavos um Hilfe bitten. Außerdem versucht Yara Graufreud ihren Bruder Theon aus den Klauen von Ramsay Snow zu befreien. Weit im Osten in Meereen zeichnen sich die ersten großen Probleme der frischgebackenen Königin Daenerys ab. Doch das wahre Highlight findet in Königsmund statt. Tyrion Lannister wird wegen des Mordes an König Joffrey Baratheon vor Gericht geführt. Warum liebt Xenia die Folge so sehr? Wieso gehört Tyrions Rede vor Gericht zu einem der besten Momente der TV-Geschichte? Und ist die Folge noch immer Xenias Lieblingsfolge?

The Ghosts of Harrenhal: A Song of Ice and Fire Podcast (ASOIAF)
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.

The Ghosts of Harrenhal: A Song of Ice and Fire Podcast (ASOIAF)
Robb returns to Riverrun, where he exchanges forgiveness of transgressions with his mother. Cat for freeing Jamie. Robb for marrying a non-Frey. Robb also scolds his uncle Edmure for preventing Tywin and his army from reaching the Westerlands, where Robb's force laid in wait. All consider ways to appease House Frey's wounded ego. Simon and Mackelly peruse belated wedding gifts.Chapter Review:Catelyn Stark is alerted that her son King Robb has commanded that she join him in the great hall. There, she is quickly forgiven by her son for freeing Jamie Lannister. Lord Rickard Karstark is not so forgiving. He calls her actions treason.After the hall has been cleared, Robb introduces Cat to a group of strangers who surround him. Ser Rolph Spicer, his sister Sybell Westerling, and her children. The last of those children he introduces as Jeyne, his new bride and queen. Cat realizes immediately that this means they've lost the support of the Freys, as Robb agreed to marry a Frey to cement the house's allegiance to him.King Robb and Brynden Blackfish Tully then lay into Cat's brother Ser Edmure Tully for harassing Tywin's army, as it tried to ford the Red Fork on it's way back to the Westerlands. It turns out that Robb and his force were waiting on Tywin's army and planned to pin them in the west or destroy them. That would've allowed Stannis Baratheon to destroy the Lannisters in King's Landing. Instead, Edmure's victory over Tywin allowed him to get word of Stannis' attack on King's Landing and swoop in and save the city.Cat says none of that matters, at the moment. More important is winning back the north from the Iron Born. Robb thinks the only chance they have of success is to earn back the Frey's fealty. There must be something he can offer to Lord Walder Frey. Cat doesn't think it is something, as much as it is someone.Characters/Places/Names/Events:Catelyn "Cat" Stark - Eldest child of Hoster Tully, widow of Ned Stark, father of King Robb.King Robb Stark: Eldest son of Eddard "Ned" and Cat Stark. The King in the North and King of the Trident.Jeyne Westerling: Eldest daughter of Lord Gawen and Sybell Westerling.

The Ghosts of Harrenhal: A Song of Ice and Fire Podcast (ASOIAF)
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.

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.

The Ghosts of Harrenhal: A Song of Ice and Fire Podcast (ASOIAF)
Sansa watches as Tywin Lannister takes control in King's Landing. The Tyrells fully embrace the new alliance, the Lannisters dole out rewards to loyalists, punish their enemies, and pat themselves on the back. King Joffrey drops her for another, putting Sansa on cloud nine. But Dontos brings her crashing back to earth. Simon and Mackelly try to break her fall. Chapter Review:Sansa Stark stands in attendance as the Lannister family congratulate themselves and their allies. Lord Tywin Lannister takes over as Hand of the King. Mace, Garlan, and Loras Tyrell ask favors of the king, all are granted. The biggest ask being that Joffrey put Sansa aside and marry Margaery Tyrell.After that, it's time to split up the winning from the Battle of the Blackwater. New lords are made, including Lancel Lannister and Petyr “Littlefinger” Baelish. More than six hundred men are knighted. Finally, the Stannis Baratheon supporters are dragged before the king. They're made to beg his forgiveness, to retain their titles and lands. Most do, but some choose death by vocally disparaging the boy king.When all the glad-handing, promotions, and begging for forgiveness are over, Sansa returns to her chamber. She can hardly remember a time she's been this happy. She won't have to marry Joffrey. She doesn't know what will happen to her, but it has to be better than marrying that monster. Ser Dontos Hollard disagrees. He thinks nothing has changed. But he's set a date for their escape: Joff's and Margaery's wedding day. He also has a present for her, in the form of a beautiful hair net. He claims it holds justice for her father.Characters/Places/Names/Events:Sansa Stark - Eldest daughter of Lord Eddard Stark and Catelyn Tully. Formerly betrothed to Joffrey Baratheon.

The Ghosts of Harrenhal: A Song of Ice and Fire Podcast (ASOIAF)
Sansa overhears disquieting news of the battle, has a run-in with Sandor Clegane, and learns from an elated Ser Dontos Hollard that the battle has turned as reinforcements have arrived from the east in the form of the Tyrells, Tywin Lannister, and somehow Renly Baratheon. Simon and Mackelly mourn the missed opportunities.Chapter Review:Lancel Lannister brings news of the battle. Things are not going well. As the king was pulled back to safety, the men lost heart and threw down their arms. There are enemy forces at multiple gates, Tyrion is likely dead, and the defenders are outmatched. Cersei Lannister takes all this as evidence that Joffrey should be further withdrawn. Lancel objects but Cersei insists, smacks him in a wound in his side, and storms out.Sansa tries to reassure the frightened ladies, but then uses the opportunity to go to her chamber. Figuring some distance between herself and Ser Ilyn Payne is prudent. There she finds the Hound waiting for her. He offers to rescue her and take her north, but she'd rather take her chances here. He leaves. She takes a well-earned nap.She's awoken some time later by Ser Dontos who is cock-a-hoop with joy, but barely coherent. When she calms him down enough, it transpires that Stannis' forces have been routed by an army comprising Tywin's force from the West, and the combined forces of the Reach apparently (and puzzlingly) led by Renly.Characters/Places/Names/Events:Sansa Stark - Eldest daughter of Lord Eddard Stark and Catelyn Tully.

Sansa sits with Cersei as the queen gets both news of the battle and becomes increasingly drunk. Sansa's heart almost stops when Cersei says she knows of Sansa's treasons in the godswood. Finally, Cersei reveals that Ser Ilyn Payne is there to remove their heads, if Stannis should take the castle. Simon and Mackelly scan the room for exits.Chapter Review:Sansa Stark sits next to Queen Cersei in the Queen's Ballroom of Maegor's Holdfast, along with the other highborn ladies. Osney and Osfryd Kettleblack bring updates regarding the battle. Both the King's Gate and the Mud Gate are under attack. That's too close for the queen's comfort, as King Joffrey is at the giant trebuchets inside the Mud Gate. She commands that he be brought back inside Maegor's Holdfast.The two ladies pass the time by Cersei explaining what being a woman is really like to Sansa. Tears and feminine wiles are a woman's weapons, she explains. She wishes she'd been trained to wield a sword, like her twin brother Jamie, so she wouldn't have to sit here so helplessly. But, despite being the Queen Regent of the Seven Kingdoms, she has little power to do anything aside from sit here with the other frightened hens, who she has little respect for.Sansa inquires about the plan, should the castle fall. Cersei says she will give herself over to Stannis, if Maegor's Holdfast holds until he arrives. If it doesn't, they'll be in for a rough night. However, later she reveals that she's kept Ser Ilyn Payne around in the event the castle falls. If that happens, Ser Ilyn will take their heads, yes Sansa's too. Cersei will not have House Stark benefit from the fall of House Lannister.Characters/Places/Names/Events:Sansa Stark - Eldest daughter of Lord Eddard Stark and Catelyn Tully.

The Ghosts of Harrenhal: A Song of Ice and Fire Podcast (ASOIAF)
Davos sails into Blackwater Bay with Stannis' giant fleet. He has some misgivings, but initially the battle goes to plan. However, a series of barges full of wildfire sail into the fleet and all is lost. Davos is thrown overboard but is being drawn into the burning mess that is gathering on Tyrion's great chain. Simon and Mackelly pick through the flotsam.Chapter Review:Davos Seaworth stands on the deck of the Black Betha, in the second row of King Stannis Baratheon's fleet. The enormous fleet is made up of 10 rows of 20 ships, not including the ships of Salladhor Saan's Lysene fleet that will stay out in the Blackwater Bay as the rear guard.Ser Imry Florent, brother to Stannis's wife Selyse, has been named Lord High Captain of the fleet. He plans to use the fleet's superior numbers to overwhelm the much smaller royal fleet. Once they've been dispatched, the ships will both land troops on the northern bank of the Blackwater Rush and ferry Stannis and his army across from the southern bank. Ser Davos has reservations about the plan, most notably the decision to take all 200 ships into the river at once.When the two sides meet, the fighting is fierce. However, it's clear that the numbers of Stannis' fleet will carry the day for them. Everything changes when boats ladened with wildfire are drifted into the fleet. As they are rammed or catch fire, the explosions are immense. When the first boat explodes, Davos is thrown from his ship. As he treads water, he sees many other ships engulfed in green flames. Davos figures he'll let the river current take him out to the bay to meet up with Saan's fleet for rescue. But as he looks down-river, he sees that a thick boom chain has been raised across the mouth of the river, trapping them all. The current is taking him right for it and the burning husks that have been trapped against it.Characters/Places/Names/Events:Ser Davos Seaworth - The Onion Knight. Advisor to King Stannis Baratheon.Stannis Baratheon - (Arguably) The rightful King of the Seven Kingdoms, as younger brother to King Robert Baratheon. Husband to Selyse Florent.

The Ghosts of Harrenhal: A Song of Ice and Fire Podcast (ASOIAF)
Sansa bounces around the Red Keep, as the battle starts beyond the city's walls. She prays for everyone, even Tyrion and the Hound. She draws the line at Joffrey. She meets Shae and takes her place in the Red Keep with Cersei, the other women and children, and Illyn Payne. Simon and Mackelly load the trebuchets.Chapter Review:Sansa Stark speaks with Tyrion Lannister before the battle. He muses that he should have sent her to Rosby with Tommen. Too late now. She still can't read his heart but is less sure of his animosity. Joffrey calls her over like a dog. He charmingly invites her to kiss his new sword Hearteater. She obliges and goads Joffrey to prove himself in battle. The narcissistic little coward ignores the barbs.She prays in the sept, along with everyone else who isn't fighting (and some who will be very soon). She muses on how the contradictory gods can possibly heed all the prayers. But takes solace in holding hands with strangers as they pray. When prayers for Joffrey begin, she gets out of there. She heads to the Queen's ballroom. En route she meets the Stokeworths who are struggling to get Lollys to accompany them. She's freaked out about something, and not easy to reason with. Eventually Shae and Lollys' sister Falyse manhandle her into the ballroom.Within, Sansa sits with Cersei and questions why ser Ilyn Payne is present, wielding Sansa's father's sword Ice. Cersei believes that they'll be glad of his presence should Stannis' men reach the doors. We're guessing not because he would be able to single-handedly hold them at bay.Characters/Places/Names/Events:Sansa Stark - Eldest daughter of Lord Eddard Stark and Catelyn Tully.

Sansa meets with Ser Dontos who has nothing useful, the Hound who is particularly ugly toward her, and Cersei who warns Sansa that love is weakness and she should reserve it for her children, because she won't get much from her intended Joffrey. Simon and Mackelly feel for Sansa and her plight.Chapter Review:Sansa Stark rendezvous with Ser Dontos Hollard in the Red Keep's godswood. He is drunk and singularly unhelpful. He says that he has a friend who is returning to King's Landing. When this friend returns, they will take a ship to safety. However, Stannis' army is amassing all around King's Landing and is expected to have complete control of the Blackwater (Bay and Rush), so the plan doesn't seem very real.Sansa climbs to the top of the Red Keep to survey the besieging army. She begins to feel a little unwell and is saved from falling by the Hound. He is in a foul mood and says hateful things toward her. He seems anxious about the number of fires being lit for the forthcoming battle.That night Sansa dreams of what might have happened had the Hound not saved her (again) during the riot. When she wakes she finds that she has had her first period. Despite her attempts to hide the evidence, she's dragged before Cersei who is more conciliatory than usual. She warns Sansa that loving people is a weakness and that she better practice some new lies for when Stannis gets here. Cersei seems resigned to her fate.Characters/Places/Names/Events:Sansa Stark - Eldest daughter of Lord Eddard Stark and Catelyn Tully. Betrothed to Joffrey Baratheon.

Myrcella sets sail for Dorne, via Braavos. Riding back through the city a riot breaks out. Lives are lost, but thanks to the Hound not Sansa Stark's. Jacelyn Bywater informs Tyrion that the smallfolk consider Tyrion the root of all their problems. With Bronn and Varys, Tyrion begins to consider replacing Joffrey with Tommen. Simon and Mackelly weigh the options. Chapter Review: Myrcella Baratheon is shipping off to Dorne where, when older, she will marry Trystane Martell. She's going a circuitous route, which will significantly reduce King's Landing's already insufficient naval force, but Cersei wants her daughter safe. Ser Arys Oakheart of the Kingsguard will travel with her as her personal bodyguard. Her arrival in Braavos is the signal for the Martells to move into the passes that border the Stormlands with the intent of holding some of Stannis' forces from the envisioned assault on King's Landing. The royal party heads back through the streets, lined with hangry citizens. The king is struck in the face with excrement, and rather than hastening a retreat to the Red Keep, he stops to set his Hound on those he perceives to blame. A riot ensues. Several in the party lose their lives including the High Septon. But Sansa Stark, briefly lost, is saved by Sandor Clegane. Hours later, the gold cloaks have regained control of the city, but Bywater warns Tyrion that the situation worsens daily. The smallfolk believe their suffering began when Tyrion was named Hand of the King. Tyrion is hurt by the insinuation. Bronn notes that Tommen is a much nicer kid than Joffrey and Westeros would be so much nicer of a place if the younger brother was to somehow become the King. Tyrion cannot help but imagine the prospect. Characters/Places/Names/Events: Queen Cersei Lannister - Widow of King Robert Baratheon, twin sister of Ser Jamie Lannister.

The Ghosts of Harrenhal: A Song of Ice and Fire Podcast (ASOIAF)
Sansa is summoned to the king's presence. He's not pleased that her brother keeps winning battles and he's taking it out on her. Tyrion rescues her from serious peril and treats her with kindness. She's not ready to trust him, having thrown in her lot with Ser Dontos. Mackelly and Simon would like to help her see sense. Chapter Review: Sansa Stark is summoned to King Joffrey Baratheon's presence. She doesn't expect a warm welcome. Sure enough he's hopping mad. Her brother Robb has only gone and utterly defeated the new army that his great uncle Ser Stafford Lannister was pulling together in the Westerlands. Obviously he used sorcery and cannibalism to achieve this. Joffrey wants to kill her, but even he recognizes the danger to his “uncle” Jamie if he did. The king orders the hound to beat Sansa, but ser Dontos, the fool, tries to intervene by mushing a morningstar melon on her head. It's a lot less painful than what she's braced for, a lot messier, and funnier. But Joffrey is not laughing. He orders Sers Boros Blount and Meryn Trant to do what he's ordered. They beat her and rip her dress to shame her. It's getting pretty bad when Tyrion arrives and saves her. He tries to educate his nephew, threatens Trant, and escorts Sansa to his rooms. There, she's patched up and catches a nap. On waking, she concludes that there is no such thing as a true knight. Tyrion assures her that he cares for her, but she continues to tow the line: I love Joffrey. Rather than stay in his rooms, she is escorted back to her own chambers, so that she can once again meet with Ser Dontos.

He gives Ser Alliser the men he needs, if in a mocking manner. Finally he confronts Pycelle about his spying. Simon and Mackelly review his day planner. Chapter Review: Tyrion Lannister has a busy day. He visits Cersei and announces that Stannis has attacked Storm's End. They have a rare moment of sibling happiness. Tyrion poisons Cersei with something to keep her in the privy the next day. Giving him a clear run at ruling the kingdom. From atop the Iron Throne he issues the Lannister's counter-demands to Cleos Frey. His cousin observes that they're unlikely to be received warmly in the North, but Tyrion isn't very concerned. He just wants to keep the dialogue going while the Baratheons destroy each other. Next up is Ser Alliser Thorne, visiting from the Wall with the still animated hand of Jaffer Flowers. Unfortunately said hand has rotted, and was thrown away. Tyrion is disturbed by Thorne's news, but is always concerned about appearing foolish. He dismisses Thorne with a few barbs, but agrees to advertise the Night's Watch to the hungry citizens. His last stop of the day is at the chambers of Maester Pycelle. Tyrion has proven to himself beyond any doubt that Pycelle is Cersei's man and he wants him out of the picture. The clan chiefs scare Pycelle to the point of bed-wetting, roughly trim his beard with their axes, and march him to the dungeons. All the time the old man complains that everything he did, he did for the Lannisters.

The Ghosts of Harrenhal: A Song of Ice and Fire Podcast (ASOIAF)
Sansa rendezvous with a would-be rescuer. Her Florian is not quite who she'd imagined but he'll have to do. On the way back, she bumps into Sandor Clegane drunk as a lord (the Hound, not Sansa). He tells her that a dog can always smell a lie, and she's the worst liar in King's Landing. Mackelly and Simon consider the canine polygraph test. Chapter Review: Sansa Stark has received a note telling her to come to the Godswood if she wants to go home. She's uncertain, but she really wants to go home. A maid almost spots the note, which Sansa then burns. She bides her time and sneaks out when the coast is clear. She imagines it will be some handsome knight determined to free her and right the wrongs. It turns out to be drunken Ser Dontos Hollard. She's not impressed. But he gives an impassioned speech about how she reminded him of what a true knight should be, and that he's determined to repay her by getting her home. He compares himself to Florian, the legendary knight who wooed Jonquil. Sansa is swept away and agrees to Dontos' as yet unfinished plans. On the walk back, she bumps into a drunken Hound. He escorts her back across the drawbridge into Maegor's holdfast. He says that he'll have a song from her eventually, and she agrees to sing for him one day. He calls her a liar and tells her that everyone in King's Landing is a liar and she is the worst of them.

Tyrion meets with Pycelle, Littlefinger, and Varys, feeding each a different story, hoping to learn which story reaches Cersei's ears.

A representative of the Bank of Braavos who'd like to discuss repayment by the crown of some loan, sounds like a job for Petyr "Littlefinger" Baelish. A discontent Riverlands lordling and local merchants all get fobbed off.Tyrion meets with Baelish and proposes marrying princess Myrcella to young Robert Arynn. If Baelish can broker that and bring the Vale's forces out to oppose Renly and Stannis, the glittering prize of Harrnehal will be his. Petyr is wary, but unable to refuse.Next is Varys, who already knows about the prior meetings, and apparently the contents of the letter: Tommen to be a ward of the Martells. Tyrion does not deny.

The Ghosts of Harrenhal: A Song of Ice and Fire Podcast (ASOIAF)
The Small Council discusses an appropriate response to Stannis' widely publicized accusation of Cersei's children being Jamie's. Later Tyrion employs all the blacksmiths in King's Landing to make him a monstrous chain. Later still, Tyrion publicly enters a brothel before sneaking out through a secret door to visit Shae in private. Mackelly and Simon debate the levels of cunning on display. Chapter Review:Stannis Baratheon has been sending word of Cersei and Jamie Lannister's incest to every house, great and small, in the realm. The Small Council discusses a response. Cersei wants to quash it completely, in particular so that neither her father nor her children ever hear of it. Wiser heads point out that trying to silence such a rumor tends to indicate a guilty conscience. Littlefinger comes up with the winning idea. They will circulate their own salacious accusation against Stannis: that his daughter Shireen is in fact the child of Patchface the fool. Tyrion Lannister and Bronn meet with the armorers and smiths of King's Landing and commission an almighty chain. Some are worried about their prior commission (from Cersei) to equip the Gold Cloaks, but Tyrion assures them that his project takes priority and he'll protect them from the Queen. Tyrion visit's Chataya's brothel. He makes no attempt to hide. But once inside he exits through a secret tunnel, built by a former Hand of the King, and meets Lord Varys in a stable. There he's disguised as a child on horseback and rides across King's Landing to visit Shae.

In this special episode, Simon and Mackelly sit down with psychotherapist, professor, and fellow podcaster Dr. Kirk Honda. The boys sit in while Dr. Honda puts Joffrey Baratheon on the couch.

The Ghosts of Harrenhal: A Song of Ice and Fire Podcast (ASOIAF)
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.

The Ghosts of Harrenhal: A Song of Ice and Fire Podcast (ASOIAF)
It's King Joffrey's nameday! He celebrates by being cruel and unpleasant. Sansa saves the hapless Ser Dontos Hollard with a little help from the Hound. The celebration is curtailed by the arrival of Tyrion with his mountain tribes. Simon and Mac join the festivities. Chapter Review: Sansa is escorted by Ser Arys Oakheart to the tourney for Joffrey's name day. En route, they speculate as to the meaning of the red comet that dominates the sky. The tourney is a pale shadow of Ned's tourney a few months earlier. The royal family is confined to the Red Keep for safety and so it's held in the small outer bailey. Since many of the noble houses are now in open or covert rebellion, the list of participants is also much diminished. The feeble jousts are enlivened by drunken Ser Dontos Hollard's arrival, sans pants and sans horse. Joffrey aims to kill him for sport but Sansa saves Hollard's skin with a bit of quick thinking, oddly backed-up by Sandor Clegane. Ser Dontos is pegged as Joffrey's new fool. Tyrion arrives with his mountain clans. He gives Joffrey some grief and offers and receives apologies from Sansa for the behavior of their respective families. Sansa is touched by his kindness, but reminds herself that he's still a Lannister, they're good at appearing kind.

Queen Cersei Lannister - Widow of King Robert Baratheon, twin sister of Ser Jamie Lannister. Mother of King Joffrey Baratheon.

The Ghosts of Harrenhal: A Song of Ice and Fire Podcast (ASOIAF)
Arya is heading north with Yoren and the new Night's Watch recruits, including Gendry - Robert Baratheon's bastard son. Arya gets into a fight with Hot Pie whose bulk proves no match for her training. Yoren is displeased and beats her. The boys spend 20 mins discussing how they're going to stretch this out to 50 mins. Chapter Review: Arya is headed north with Yoren and the new recruits (voluntary, and considerably less so) to the Night's Watch. She's making her water away from the road, but with her new haircut she's passing for a boy. Her traveling companions are a pretty sorry bunch, but she's afraid of the three that are chained in a wagon. There are several wagons, as Yoren is bringing enough materials to keep the Night's Watch supplied for the long winter to come. Hot Pie, one of the better fed recruits, tries to take Needle from her, and she uses her Syrio Forel training to beat him within an inch of his life. At one point, Gendry (also headed to the Wall) saves her from getting brained by Hot Pie. Perhaps a friendship in the making? Yoren is not best pleased, but beats her away from the others, so that he can go easy on her (she cannot sit down for several days, so she's not sure how easy he went). He explains that her father's beheading was a derailed plan - and she knows who is to blame: Joffrey. Characters/Places/Names/Events: Arya Stark - Younger daughter of Eddard (Ned) and Catelyn (Cat) Stark. Joffrey Baratheon - King of the seven Kingdoms. Bastard son of Cersei Lannister and her twin Jamie. Syrio Forel - Former First Sword of Braavos. Fencing instructor to Arya Stark. Robb Stark - Eldest son of Ned and Cat Stark.
