Send us a textTyrion meets Griff and young Griff. He has suspicions about who Griff might be, but Griff is plenty suspicious of Tyrion in return. Mackelly and Simon ponder the possibilities. Chapter ReviewTyrion is passed from Illyrio to Haldon the Half-Maester and Ser Rolly “Duck” Duckworth, along with letters, chests, and candy for young Griff. As they depart Tyrion sees Mopatis looking forlorn. Duck provides his life story, including being dubbed by Griff watched by Ducks, confirming his nickname. When they reach the Little Rhoyne at the ruined city of Ghoyan Drohe, they rendezvous with the riverboat, the Shy Maid. They are welcomed by Young Griff who dyes his hair blue in the Tyroshi fashion - after his mother - but Tyrion thinks that it won't fly in Westeros. Griff the elder is far from pleased to welcome Tyrion. A letter from Mopatis explains what is going on, but doesn't change his mood. He thinks Danaerys would be well advised to reject a kin and kingslayer from her service. But Tyrion catches him in several lies and suspects who Griff might truly be.Characters/Places/Names/Events:Tyrion Lannister - Youngest son of Tywin Lannister whom he recently murdered.

Send us a textTyrion and Illyrio Mopatis are trapped in a closed palanquin, hidden from the world, with just each other's voices for company. Mackelly and Simon try to imagine what that must be like.Chapter Review:Tyrion Lannister and Illyrio Mopatis leave Pentos in a closed palanquin. Nobody can know of Tyrion's presence or destination. He thinks that between the sailors and Mopatis' servants the word is already out. But his host is confident of their discretion. Tyrion is doubtful. Tyrion tries to unearth Mopatis' true motivations in helping Daenerys Targaryen regain the Iron Throne. The Pentosi claims that he just wants to help the young girl he fell in love with, that he was promised a Westerosi lordship and the role of Master of Coin. None of that convinces Tyrion. They're headed east toward the Rhoyne, where Tyrion will go south by river to Volantis. There Mopatis expects he'll rendezvous with Daenerys and her growing army. Tyrion will be accompanied by a sell-sword named Griff - who (again) Mopatis places an amazing amount of faith in.Characters/Places/Names/Events:Tyrion Lannister - Youngest son of Tywin Lannister whom he recently murdered.

Send us a textTyrion arrives in Pentos wallowing in self-pity. His plans for revenge against his family are dismissed by Illyrio Mopatis who has a much better idea for the Iron Throne - a three-headed dragon. Simon and Mackelly say hello to their little friend.Chapter Review:Tyrion Lannister drinks himself into oblivion while confined below decks on a ship. He doesn't know where he's headed - his escape was orchestrated by Lord Varys, with no input from Tyrion. Eventually he's disembarked hidden in a wine barrel. The last half hour of the journey is the worst. When the barrel is opened he is face-to-face with Illyrio Mopatis. The magister welcomes him to Pentos. Tyrion explores the grounds of the manse - but he's not to leave.Over dinner Tyrion, increasingly drunk, shares his ideas to raise Myrcella's banners. Mopatis is not impressed, and instead suggests that Tyrion join him in supporting the better claim of the dragon with three heads.Characters/Places/Names/Events:Tyrion Lannister - Youngest son of Tywin Lannister whom he recently murdered.

Tyrion is rescued from his cell by Jaime, but learns the awful truth of Jaime's previous betrayal. Tyrion, in turn, tells Jaime he killed Joffrey. The two part ways acrimoniously. On his way to freedom, Tyrion stops to visit his father. He finds a familiar face waiting in Tywin's bed and Tywin in the privy. Tyrion deals with them both in similar fashion. Simon and Mackelly wallow in the sadness and betrayal.Chapter Review:Tyrion Lannister prepares to attack, as the door to his cell opens. It turns out to be his brother Jaime. Jaime is here to rescue him. When Tyrion thanks him, Jaime says he's repaying a debt. Tyrion insists on knowing the secret of this debt. Jaime tells him he lied to Tyrion about Tysha, on their father's command. Tyrion's wife truly was a crofter's daughter, met on the road. The news sends Tyrion into a fury. He tells Jaime that Cersei has been unfaithful to Jaime and that, yes, he killed Joffrey. With that the two part ways.Tyrion meets Varys, to escape through the dungeons and to the sea, bound for Essos. Along the way, Tyrion realizes he's below the Tower of the Hand. He insists Varys tell him how to find his father's bed chamber. When Tyrion arrives, he finds Shae in Tywin's bed. She says she was forced to say horrible things about him at trial. She calls him her Giant of Lannister. At that, Tyrion strangles her with the Hand of the King chain she wears.He finds a crossbow and tracks his father to the privy. Tywin says he doesn't know what happens to the “whore” Tysha after Tyrion's “sharp lesson.” Tyrion says if he uses the term again, he will kill his father.

Tyrion's is betrayed by Shae and demands a trial by combat. Oberyn Martell steps up and defeats the Mountain, but then lets his guard down and the Mountain crushes his head, and Tyrion's hopes. Simon and Mackelly rue the day.Chapter Review:Tyrion Lannister weighs the offer of Oberyn Martell, but for now allows the trial to continue. 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. Tyrion and Sansa plotted the murder and Tyrion used her sexually and forced her to refer to him as “her giant of Lannister.” The crowd's laughter is too much for Tyrion and he demands the trial by combat.Cerseis is thrilled to announce that the Mountain Gregor Clegane will fight for her, but the whole room is stunned when Oberyn Martell offers to champion Tyrion's cause. 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. The Mountain trips him and crushes his skull. Tyrion's hopes die with the Red Viper.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 Tyrion, Cersei e Littlefinger apprendono la notizia dell'improvvisa morte di Renly da Lord Varys, che tramite i suoi uccellini conosce quasi tutte le versioni raccontate in giro. In breve: il re è stato ucciso repentinamente poco prima della battaglia contro il fratello Stannis e alcuni sospettano proprio quest'ultimo come mandante dell'omicidio (e avrebbero ragione). Ora c'è da capire cosa ne sarà dell'enorme esercito che viaggiava con Renly, ancora fermo a Bitterbridge. Alcuni lord hanno già giurato fedeltà a Stannis, in particolare i Florent, mentre alcuni sono ancora restii a passare all'altro fratello Baratheon. Cosa fare allora per vincere l'appoggio dei Tyrell e portare dalla loro parte tutta la potenza e la ricchezza di Highgarden? Solo una cosa potrebbe convincerli: un matrimonio reale e una buona parola da parte di Loras Tyrell, il preferito di Lord Mace. Ci mettono un po' i tre a convincere Cersei che mettere da parte Sansa e far sposare Joff e Margaery sia l'affare del secolo. La regina reggente non è del tutto favorevole, ma comunque acconsente al fidanzamento. Tra i membri del concilio, Ditocorto è il più adatto a lasciare la capitale, trattare coi Tyrell col pieno consenso del concilio e del re e non destare sospetti alcuni dato che è un lord di basso rango. Alla fine, si accordano per una notevole scorta, del denaro per abbondanti regali e lettere controfirmate dal re stesso e tutto il concilio. Nella stanza rimangono solo i due Lannister a parlare e Cersei è stranamente dolce col fratello, tanto che lo saluta con un bacio. Starà tramando qualcosa, Tyrion ne è certo. A Bronn il compito di scoprire cosa... Ovviamente condividete su tutte le piattaforme, spargete la voce e mettete like al video.

Daenerys and her host reach the walls of Meereen. She picks a champion to face the city's hero in man-to-man combat. She meets an old foe and is saved by an unlikely defender. Finally, she discovers two huge secrets and reels from the shocking truth. Mackelly and Simon thank the Seven it's not them who deceived her.Chapter Review:Daenerys Targaryen and her host of freed people make camp outside the walls of Meereen. A hero waits for Dany outside the city walls. Dany sends Strong Belwas to face the Meereenese hero. The fight doesn't last long, ending in Belwas decapitating the other man.Later, Dany discusses ways to defeat the city, with her council. Nobody has any useful ideas, so she dismisses them. While ruminating on the task in front of her, she considers Daario Naharis. Dany fancies him and wonders what it'd be like to take him as a lover. She puts the thought aside and goes for a ride, with Missandei and Arstan Whitebeard for company. Dany allows her people to touch her, as she rides by. However, one man pulls her from her saddle. It's Mero, the former commander of the Second Sons. Mero moves to kill her but Arstan instead easily defeats him.Back inside her tent, Dany wants Jorah to knight Arstan for his efforts. Both men balk at that. It's then that Jorah realizes who Arstan really is. He introduces Arstan as Ser Barristan Selmy, a traitor to the Targaryans, for serving under Robert the Usurper. Barristan scoffs at the hypocrisy and tells Dany of Jorah's treason, selling information about her and her brother to Lord Varys, as part of a pardon agreement. Dany is angry and hurt and sends both men away. However, on second thought, she has a great use for the pair of liars!Characters/Places/Names/Events:Daenerys Targaryen - Last remaining descendent of the royal Targaryen line, Stormborn, Mother of Dragons, claimant to the Iron Throne of Westeros.Ser Jorah Mormont - Exiled former Lord of Bear Island.

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.

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.

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.

Tyrion sees two new Kingsguard appointed and oversees preparations for Stannis' arrival. The pyromancers have more than delivered on their wildfire promise. And Varys has foiled a plot to open the gates to Stannis. Mackelly and Simon dip a finger in the boiling oil. Chapter Review:Tyrion sends Shagga and the other mountain clansmen to the Kingswood to harry and delay Stannis' army as it finally makes its way to King's Landing. Tyrion and Bronn review the defenses on the river-side of the city and decree that the homes and shanties that lean against the outside of the wall, need to be removed (with minimal human misery if possible) before the invaders use them to scale the walls. Tyrion has learned that Winterfell has fallen to the Greyjoys and while celebrating the Starks' misfortune, he cannot help but feel that there is something not right about it. He ponders this while seeing Balon Swann and Osmund Kettleblack sworn in as the latest members of the Kingsguard. They replace the late Preston Greenfield and the disgraced Boros Blount, who capitulated too willingly when Tyrion's men forcibly wrested Prince Tommen from his care.Tyrion meets with Hallyne of the pyromancers who is miles ahead of schedule on the production of wildfire. Tyrion is skeptical, but Hallyne explains that their spells are working like they used to in the time of dragons. Tyrion faces complaints from ships' captains who've had their ships impounded in defense of the capital. He meets with Varys who has unearthed a plot to open the gates to Stannis' army. Not from the starving hordes, but from middle-class King's Landians who'd rather see the back of the Lannisters. One of them is a master armorer, who fell out with Tyrion over his great chain scheme. Characters/Places/Names/Events:Queen Cersei Lannister - Widow of King Robert Baratheon, twin sister of Ser Jamie Lannister.King Joffrey Baratheon - Bastard son of Jaime Lannister and his twin sister Queen Cersei Lannister.

Tyrion gets wind of Cersei's latest plots. He tries to convince Shae to take a job in the Red Keep. He discusses the news from Storm's End with Varys who shares his hatred of all things magic. Mackelly and Simon try to weave the threads. Chapter Review: Tyrion Lannister learns from Lancel that Cersei plans to hide Tommen at Rosby. Tyrion doesn't mind this plan, but wants Tommen's guards to be loyal to him. He sends Jacelyn Bywater to do the job, with a promise of a lordship in return. To this point Bywater has been completely non-partisan - and the lordship is the payment for taking sides. Tyrion heads to Shae - risking going straight there. He wants her to move to the Red Keep - the city is too dangerous. But the only way he can see to do that is to get her a job as a servant. She's not pleased. They fight and he slaps her. Out of remorse, he spills the story of Tysha but then regrets being so vulnerable. They leave on bad terms. With Varys they discuss the fall of Storm's End. Varys thinks magic was used to kill Ser Courtnay Penrose, but Tyrion thinks there are more mundane explanations. Varys relates his becoming a eunuch at the hands of a sorcerer and his revulsion of magic thereafter. Tyrion is moved by Varys' tale. They head back to the Red Keep to plan the defenses against Stannis. Characters/Places/Names/Events: Queen Cersei Lannister - Widow of King Robert Baratheon, twin sister of Ser Jamie Lannister.

News of Renly's death has reached the small council in King's Landing. They dispatch Littlefinger to treat with Loras Tyrell - the leader of the faction that hasn't pledged fealty to Stannis. The offer? Renly's widow Margaery Tyrell to marry Joffrey and be queen. Simon and Mackelly consider the implications. Chapter Review: Varys shares the reliable news that Renly is dead and many unreliable accounts of who did it. Tyrion is disappointed, he'd hoped that the Baratheons' fight would drag on for months. The bad news is compounded by the rapid switching allegiance (to Stannis) of the majority of the noble houses. The slightly better news for team-Lannister is that Ser Loras Tyrell has ridden off taking maybe 20 percent of the lords with him. And Ser Courtney Penrose, castellan of Storm's End, fearing a trick, will not open the doors to Stannis until he sees Renly's body - which has gone missing. So how to turn this dissenting minority to the Lannister cause? Tyrion suggests marriage. Should Renly's young widow Margaery (Tyrell) marry Joffrey, then the two wealthiest houses in Westeros would be conjoined. The Lords of the Reach who have now pledged to Stannis would have to reconsider. And the balance of power might just be tipped. After some debate, Petyr Baelish is chosen to take the message to Loras and Margaery. He grifts for every bit of money and influence he can get out of the chore. But Tyrion grudgingly admits he's the right man for the job. After the meeting, Cersei thanks Tyrion for his efforts and kisses him on the forehead. He could not be more suspicious.  Characters/Places/Names/Events: Queen Cersei Lannister - Widow of King Robert Baratheon and twin sister of Ser Jamie Lannister.

Tyrion meets with Pycelle, Littlefinger, and Varys, feeding each a different story, hoping to learn which story reaches Cersei's ears. Allister Thorne has arrived, hunger is getting out of hand in King's Landing, and Cersei wants Jamie freed and her father's army to come defend her. A Hand's job is never done! Mackelly and Simon try to prioritize.Chapter Review:Tyrion Lannister breaks his fast with Grand Maester Pycelle. He dispatches a raven to Doran Martell in Dorne but Tyrion won't be drawn on the letter's content. Tyrion steals a bottle from Pycelle's potion shelves, while the maester isn't looking.Tyrion and Bronn discuss today's supplicants: Tanda Stokeworth with offers of food and her plump unwed daughter, Ser Alliser Thorne newly arrived from the Wall with a hand for the Hand - Tyrion doesn't like Thorne so has him consigned to a dingy cell without meeting with him. 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. One of this trio is going to blab to the queen and Tyrion cannot wait to find out.Characters/Places/Names/Events:Queen Cersei Lannister - Widow of King Robert Baratheon, twin sister of Ser Jamie Lannister.

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.

It's the single Rotten season of one of the greatest TV shows ever made and left some fans as cold as a member of the Night's Watch who forgot his coat. But were critics and audiences too harsh on season 8?

Grab your lavender and your little birds, we're going to Westeros. Join Ian for a solo episode all about Lord Varys. As someone who knows what it's like to lose their balls, Ian feels a kindred connection to the Spider. For his talent, George R.R. Martin often portrays Varys in an exceedingly cartoonish fashion that plays into homophobic stereotypes. Join for a close reading of many of Varys' key passages.   This episode will cover the following chapters:   A Game of Thrones Catelyn IV Eddard IV Eddard V Eddard VII Eddard VIII Eddard XI Eddard XII Eddard XIV Sansa IV Eddard XV Tyrion IX   A Clash of Kings Tyrion I Tyrion II Tyrion III Tyrion IV Tyrion VI Tyrion VIII Tyrion IX Tyrion X Tyrion XII Sansa VIII   A Storm of Swords Sansa I Tyrion II Tyrion III Davos IV Tyrion IX Tyrion X Tyrion XI   A Feast for Crows Cersei I Jaime I Cersei IV Jaime III A Dance with Dragons Tyrion I Tyrion II Tyrion IV The Lost Lord Epilogue For a complete list of our ASOIAF episodes, check out our neatly organized episode page. https://ianthomasmalone.podbean.com/p/episode-categories/ Image courtesy of HBO  

Tyrion wines, dines, and has his way with Lord Janos Slynt. He appoints a new head of the City Watch and rounds out his evening by verbally sparring with Lord Varys. Mackelly and Simon consider Tyrion's power moves and prospects.  Chapter Review:  Tyrion plies Janos Slynt, the new Lord of Harrenhal, with wine over a lavish dinner. The commander of the City Watch is quite drunk by the time Tyrion turns the tables and announces Slynt's new career as a member of the Night's Watch. The new head of the Gold Cloaks, Jacelyn Bywater, has his former boss escorted to a waiting ship and onward to the Wall.  Lord Varys admires Tyrion's stratagems but the Hand is annoyed that the all-knowing Spider failed to protect baby Barra and her mother from murder at the hand of Slynt's brutal henchmen. Varys apologizes, but claims he did get Gendry out of the city when he saw what Cersei had planned for Robert's progeny. The men discuss Cersei's cruelty and the riddle of where power truly resides.  After Varys departs, Bronn confirms that he's recruiting worthy new men to Tyrion's service, and with the Gold Cloak's now led by Tyrion's man Bywater, his position in King's Landing should be secure.  Characters/Places/Names/Events: Queen Cersei Lannister - Widow of King Robert Baratheon, twin sister of Ser Jamie Lannister.

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.

Dany wakes to a whole slew of bad news. Her baby Rhaego was stillborn and monstrous. Khal Drogo is alive but catatonic. The Khalasar is gone. The boys take a long hard look at Mirri Maz Duur's medical license and consider what Dany's options are now. Chapter Review: Daenerys  Targaryen has vivid dreams about the waking of the dragon. The dreams begin with the familiar warning, “You don't want to wake the dragon, do you?” But as the dream narrows and becomes more prophetic, the words are dropped until all that is left is a rather different order(?)/suggestion(?) “Wake the dragon.” When the all-too-human Daenerys wakes, it is to an entirely different world. Rhaego was born but was a creature of nightmares, with leathery wings and a tail. He did not survive. Drogo lives, but his spirit is gone. She confronts Mirri Maz Duur who, despite having a few things she could say to save herself, admits that she was seeking revenge for what happened to her people. Drogo lives, but his life is intolerably circumscribed. Mirri points out that her own life was rich and full until Drogo came. She is unrepentant. Dany does everything in her power to revive Drogo, but nothing works. When she's convinced that he cannot come back to her, she smothers him with a pillow. Characters/Places/Names/Events: Khal Drogo - Lord of a giant Dothraki Khalasar. Husband to Daenerys Targaryen. Daenerys Targaryen - Khaleesi to a Dothraki khalasar, wife to Khal Drogo, and younger sister to Viserys. Pregnant with Rhaego Targaryen, the Stallion who Mounts the World. Jorah Mormont - Exiled former lord of Bear Island. Advisor to Daenerys Targaryen. Spying on the Targaryens for Lord Varys. Mirri Maz Duur - Priestess and healer of the Lhazareen. Support the podcast.

Ned suffers some pretty brutal sensory deprivation down in the dungeons. Allowing his overactive imagination to run wild. A surprise visitor gives him some advice on how to free himself, but can Eddard bring himself to do the smart thing, instead of the right thing? Mac and Simon are more than capable of both. Chapter Review: Eddard Stark is visited by dreams, ghosts, and eunuchs in the Red Keep's dungeons. He dreams of Rhaegar Targaryen presenting Lyanna Stark with the blue roses, after winning the jousting at the Harrenhal Tourney. He's mocked by King Robert's ghost for where his uncompromising stiff neck has brought him. He gets some wine and advice from Lord Varys.Varys explains how the realm is descending into anarchy, but that Sansa has made a plea for Ned's life. Lord Stark must swallow his pride and admit to treason, proclaim Joffrey the rightful king, and bend the knee. The next visitor could bring Eddard some much needed food, or Sansa' head, it all depends on Ned.Characters/Places/Names/Events: Eddard "Ned" Stark - Former Hand of the King, Lord of Winterfell, and king Robert's closest friend. Queen Cersei Lannister - Widow of King Robert Baratheon, twin sister of Ser Jamie Lannister. Father of King Joffrey Baratheon. Ser Barriston Selmy - Lord Commander of the Kingsguard.

Dany survives a poisoning plot thanks to Ser Jorah's timely intervention. Khal Drogo is so grateful he gives Mormont a horse and Dany what she wishes: the Khalasar will cross the Narrow Sea and take back the Iron Throne for her. Mackelly and Simon fortify their castles in anticipation. Chapter Review: Khal Drogo has got no interest in Westeros. As far as he is concerned, the world that his future son Rhaego will mount ends at the Narrow Sea. Daenerys Targaryen doesn't push her luck (who would after witnessing Viserys' coronation?) Drogo goes hunting. Daenerys goes to the market. Ser Jorah gets news from Westeros. A wine-seller digs out a special cask just for the Khaleesi. Ser Jorah thinks the merchant should sample his own wares. The man apparently doesn't like wine and tries unsuccessfully to high-tail it out of there. Wait a minute! It was poison. A letter from Illyrio Mopatis to Viserys confirms that a lordship is on offer to anyone who can murder a Targaryen. Daenerys feels the dragon stirring within her, and tries to wake her dragon eggs with fire. No luck. Drogo kills a white lion, but that is quickly forgotten when he learns of the plot. The usurper tried to kill his wife, in Vaes Dothrak? He has gone too far. The best horse in the khalasar for Ser Jorah for saving Daenerys. And puke-bags, at the ready we're going on a cruise everybody. Characters/Places/Names/Events: Khal Drogo - Lord of a giant Dothraki Khalasar. Husband to Daenerys Targaryen.

We are joined today by the super-talented & incredibly funny, Nick Smeriglio. Nick is known on the internet as a comedic impersonator. To steal directly from his Cameo bio (just to name a few), he is able to impersonate: Sebastian Maniscalco, Christopher Walken, Tony Soprano, Jack Nicholson, Ray Romano, Nacho Libre, Jon Lovitz, THOR, JFK, Arthur Shelby, Jimmy Stewart, NICKMERCS, Bill Clinton, & more! In addition to his expansive vocal talents, Nick is also a budding stand-up comedian with a passion for making people laugh. He is well known in Chicago as a mainstay at the "Second City Theatre." In a revealing anecdote, Nick attributes his many successes from his start in the spotlight. As is tradition, we end this episode with a "Would You Rather?" His response was as genuine as he was. There is a surprise visit from Tony Soprano, Littlefinger, & Lord Varys that you won't want to miss!

Ned gets a turn on the Iron Throne while King Robert is off hunting. His leg hurts and so do the various bits of him getting poked by the chair - curse you Robert, and you Aegon the Conqueror. His comfort is hardly enhanced by news from the Riverlands of murder and pillage by Lannister-men. Simon and Mackelly consider every implication. Chapter Review:Eddard Stark is in charge and sits the Iron Throne. He's not thrilled by either the responsibility, (Robert is off hunting) nor the ergonomics. While Sansa watches on, he is confronted with news of atrocities in the Riverlands. Un-sigiled brigands have sacked three towns, killing and raping - but not stealing. The only clue as to their identity - one of them is as big as a mountain. Against Grand Maester Pycelle's objections, Ned strips Ser Gregor Clegane of his titles, lands, and life and dispatches a sizable contingent under the King's banner to carry out the justice. He gives the lead of this mission to Ser Beric Dondarrion. In so doing, he slights Ser Loras Tyrell and Ser Ilyn Payne (the King's executioner). Lord Varys suggests that this might not have been the best strategic decision. But we note that Ned carefully picked only men loyal to either House Stark or House Barratheon. Characters/Places/Names/Events: Eddard "Ned" Stark - Hand of the King, Lord of Winterfell, and king Robert's closest friend. 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.

Welcome back to Popcorn Chats! This week, Katie and Michae are back with another ranking episode; this time with characters from one of their favorite shows, Game of Thrones. From God level characters, to bottom of the barrel trash, they rank the folks of Westeros and defend their positions on those rankings. While in agreement with quite a few, there are some key characters that divide them, including one of the main characters that they saved to debate at the end of the episode (spoiler alert: it’s the bastard). Katie shares why she has such a soft spot for Lord Varys, which if you listened to the Hunger Games episode, you might have an idea as to why that is. They also talk about why the women in this show reign supreme over all others with their unmatched power, the Achilles heel of all men on the show, and Michae’s love for Grey Worm. And what do Petyr Baelish and Mr. Bates from Freaky Friday have in common? Well, Katie is gonna tell you. Also, is it just Katie and Michae, or is the Night King kinda sexy? Thanks for listening this week! Tune in next week to hear Katie and Michae discuss “Call Me By Your Name”, featuring the love of Katie’s life (sorry Jack), Timothee Chalamet.

Arya manages to get herself lost in the dungeons of the Red Keep. But in the process, she finds information that would be invaluable to her father. Unfortunately, when she tries to tell Ned what she's learned, she makes a mess of it all. Thankfully, we're here to put the pieces together and weave a more complete story from the details. Chapter Review: Arya Stark is catching cats. While in the process, she is stumbled upon by princess Myrcella, prince Tommen, and their entourage. When the gold cloaks in her group try to apprehend her, Arya runs. By the time she stops, she's managed to get herself lost deep in the dungeons under the Red Keep. She first runs into three giant dragon skulls, before coming across two men talking while walking through the dungeons. The pair is Lord Varys and Illyrio Mopatis. They are discussing her father Ned getting dangerously close to discovering a secret. There is also mention of having killed one Hand of the King, so why not kill another? Along with that, there is talk of a plot that sounds a lot like it involves getting a Targaryen back on the Iron Throne. When Arya gets back to the Tower of the Hand, she tries to tell Ned what she knows, but it sounds more like the fantasy talk of a child than anything else. Yoren from the Night's Watch arrives to talk with Ned, and Arya is sent to bed worrying about her father's safety. Characters/Places/Names/Events: Lord Varys - Eunuch and Master of Whispers. Illyrio Mopatis - Wealthy magister from the Free City of Pentos. Eddard "Ned" Stark - Hand of the King, Lord of Winterfell, king Robert's closest friend. Gendry - King Robert Baratheon's bastard son and apprentice blacksmith. Petyr "Littlefinger" Baelish - Master of Coin, member of the Small Council. Daenerys Targaryen - Khaleesi to a Dothraki khalasar and younger sister to Viserys. Viserys Targaryen - Deposed heir to the Iron Throne. Lysa Arryn - Cat's younger sister. Widow of Jon Arryn.

Ned has a busy, but for the most part pleasant, day. King Robert is acting like his old self, queen Cersei is nowhere to be seen, he spends time at the tourney with Sansa, and his girls are getting along at dinner. However, when Lord Varys shows up to his chambers, he brings tidings that cause an abrupt end to any pleasantness. Chapter Review: Eddard "Ned" Stark and Ser Barriston Selmy look over the body of Ser Hugh of the Vale, the newly made knight and former squire to Jon Arryn, killed the day before by Ser Gregor Clegane. Ned had been planning to talk to Hugh about Jon Arryn's death. Later, Ned and Ser Barriston explain to Robert that nobody will dare risk hurting him in the melee, so he will win but it won't be a fair fight. Robert begrudgingly accepts the fact and agrees not to enter.  During the tourney, Ser Gregor Clegane is unhorsed by Ser Loras Tyrell. In his anger, Gergor kills his horse and then attacks Loras. However, his brother Sandor Clegane (AKA The Hound) jumps in and saves Loras. The brothers duel until the king commands they stop. A grateful Loras concedes the final match to The Hound.  That night a stranger visits Ned's chambers. It turns out to be Lord Varys in disguise. Varys tells Ned of a plan to see Robert killed during the melee, and that queen Cersei forbade Robert from entering loudly and publicly so that Robert would surely enter the competition. He also says that it was Ser Hugh who poisoned Jon Arryn. When Ned asks Varys why Jon Arryn was killed, his answer is that Jon was asking questions. Charactes/Places/Names/Events: Eddard "Ned" Stark - Hand of the King, Lord of Winterfell, and king Robert's closest friend.Ser Barriston Selmy - Lord Commander of the Kingsguard. Older but still deadly with a sword or a lance.King Robert Baratheon - Lord of the Seven Kingdoms.

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.

Catelyn Stark and Ser Rodrik have made it to King's Landing. They pulled an end-around on Ned and the Royal wheelhouse by taking a ship. However, their secret spy mission stayed a secret for a few hours at most. By then all of the Small Council left in King's Landing knew of their presence. We have fun discussing two great characters, Lord Varys and Petyr Littlefinger Baelish, along with a lot more. Including whether Cat is the worst secret keeper ever.Chapter ReviewCatelyn Stark and her escort Ser Rodrik Cassel have completed their journey from Winterfell to King's Landing . Now it's time to find the owner of the dagger used in the murder attempt on her son Bran. They've gotten there ahead of her husband Ned and the rest of the royal procession. Ser Rodrik goes to the Red Keep to meet with Ser Aron Santager, the king's master-at-arms. While he's gone Cat is summoned to Petyr Baelish, a childhood friend.

It was his... once.Characters/Places/Names/EventsCatelyn Stark - Lady of Winterfell wife of Hand of the King Eddard Stark.Petyr Littlefinger Baelish - Master of Coin, Cat's childhood friend, and former ward of Hoster Tully, Cat's father.Lord Varys - AKA The Spider.

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

00:32:35,009 more sort of full of what's happening at   852 00:32:32,879 --> 00:32:37,409 Kings yes we get to see a bit into the   853 00:32:35,009 --> 00:32:40,309 the kickoff of the the war of the five   854 00:32:37,409 --> 00:32:42,360 kings you know we see what Jon Arryn was   855 00:32:40,309 --> 00:32:44,279 investigating and we're definitely gonna   856 00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:45,659 be 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

The nerds, Jong Lee and Michael Carrell, are back for Issue 3 of Comicast! The guys look back at episode 2 of Game of Thrones titled "Stormborn." They go over what they liked about the episode, what they didn't like, how those ravens moved so fast, Arya reuniting with old friends, Lord Varys vs Daenerys, and whether Euron is high all the time. Plus they look ahead to episode 3 titled "Queen's Justice." Who is in danger of getting killed in episode 3? Find out who the guys think, on this edition of Comicast!

Your favorite four heroes are back to face the insurmountable mission that is podcasting directly underneath the shadow of a dragon. Well, not really, but they do tackle the fandom-wide confusion surrounding Lord Varys and his possible magical abilities, and which home is the shiniest in all of the realm. In this episode, join the debate that is drawing a clear line down the foursome; Would you have sentence the Targaryean girl to death, or would you have let her run free in the Ghostgrass?
