Discussion turns to Mors Umber's terms for support. Stannis hesitates, but Jon urges acceptance, warning that rejecting Mors' terms would turn the North against him.

Pressed to arm wildlings, Jon reluctantly offers basic gear, wary of violating the Night's Watch vows. Privately, Stannis tempts Jon again with legitimization and Winterfell.

May the 4th be with you! In honor of Star Wars day, we dug into the vault and re-released our discussion with astrophysicist Dr. Jason Lisle about Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. This surprisingly fresh entry to the Star Wars universe led to some deep discussion on a range of topics: Is there ever a time when ‘lying' is justified in the eyes of God? Is it possible to deceptively work from within an evil group in order to dismantle it? Why is it so hard to create replicas of the human face that are convincing, when animals seem much less difficult? Will storytelling – and dare we say filmmaking – continue in the eternal state? What sort of Star Wars character would Dr. Lisle be? ...and much more! Watch the episode here. Don't forget to SUBSCRIBE and click the notification bell.

The former Brother of the Night's Watch and King Beyond the Wall is a broken man desperately pleading for his life and disavowing his kingship. He's put in a cage above a pit of kindling.

She burns it in the pit, and the flames reach up to Mance.Acting on Jon's orders, several of his men loose shafts to put their former brother out of his misery. As the smell of burning flesh fills the courtyard, Stannis unsheathes Lightbringer, brighter than ever, and the gate through the Wall is opened. The Free Folk are allowed through - the promise of soup and safety from the terrors of winter convince most. But some resist.Stannis has them burn weirwood branches to show their conversion from the Old Gods to R'Hllor and to take the knee before him. All this was against Jon's advice. But Stannis is more interested in loyalty than love.Later, Jon discusses with Clydas the passage that Aemon left for Jon, which describes Lightbringer's heat. Stannis' sword is cold.

In episode 7 the pace of the show picks up. Daredevil is back, and he is on the hunt for the serial killer Muse. Our Hosts James and Miles were excited to see some action and drama, but had to dig for theological talking points.

Instead he intends to sail to the Stepstones for some more profitable piracy.Lord Godric ponders selling Davos to Cersei - who is in charge again after the death of Tywin, which is news to Davos. Godric won't allow a bird to be sent to Castle Black - he won't take sides in the Game of Thrones.But he does recall his father aiding Ned Stark in a similar fashion at the start of Robert's Rebellion.

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.

She agrees under considerable duress.Next, he meets with Sam who must go to Oldtown and become a maester. Sam is flustered, a Tarly cannot wear a chain of servitude, and he cannot learn to heal because he's scared of blood.

He will go and he'll earn his chain.Lastly, Jon commissions Bedwyck to refit and take command of the abandoned way-castle at Icemark. He'll command 30 men. Bedwyck's a seasoned ranger and Jon knows he'll prove more than capable. He gives Janos Slynt the same opportunity at Greyguard. Slynt refuses.

The backstory behind Ted Hughes's original book THE IRON MAN is a tragic one, and the subsequent film by Brad Bird has a heartbreaking story all its own. In episode 338, join Luke Elliott & James Bailey as they discover an unexpected connection to Sylvia Plath, try to wrap their heads around a "Space-Bat-Angel-Dragon," defend animation's reputation as a medium, explore questions of consciousness around artificial beings, and finally cast their votes on which one is ultimately best: the book or the movie?   Full Video version available on YouTube https://bit.ly/3Xdjc1n Support the show on Patreon for bonus content, merch, and the ability to vote on upcoming projects! https://www.patreon.com/inktofilm Get The Iron Giant or any of the source novels at the Ink to Film Bookshop: https://bookshop.org/shop/inktofilm Ink to Film's Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Bluesky (@inktofilm) Home Base: inktofilm.com   Luke Elliott Recent publications: “Your Black Apron Meal Kit Has Arrived” in the Even Cozier Cosmic anthology https://bookshop.org/a/23566/9781630230975 “Beyond Heaven” in the Beyond the Vanishing Point anthology: https://a.co/d/cTwnwz7 Website: www.lukeelliottauthor.com Social Media Accounts: www.lukeelliottauthor.com/social   James Bailey Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/jamebail.bsky.social IG: https://www.instagram.com/jamebail/ Music:  “Last Dawn” by Ross Bugden https://youtu.be/wWjgsepyE8I?si=2LkPHQZ1x-1HPUto

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. Brother to queen Cersei and Jamie Lannister. Former Hand of the King.Illyrio Mopatis - Magister of Pentos. Former guardian of Viserys and Daenerys Targaryen. Friend of Lord Varys.Lord Varys - Former Master of Whisperers in King's Landing, freed Tyrion from captivity at Jaime's instructions.Pentos - One of the free cities of Essos.

Here's looking at you kids. This month our Patreon Saints picked Casablanca for us to peruse for things to receive, reject, & redeem. Maddy and Bridget tackle themes of neutrality in the Christian life, what sacrifice looks like, and ask if Casablanca is even a true romance story.

Send us a textJon has a wolf dream and wakes to face a trying day. He meets with Stannis and disappoints him by rejecting the king's plan to assume control of the abandoned Night's Watch castles.
