Aemond refuses vassal Humfrey Lefford’s request to fly there and provide support. Aemond wants Tyland Lannister to ally with the Triarchy to break the Velaryon blockade. Aemond orders Criston to march on Harrenhal and dismisses Alicent from the Small Council. Ser Steffon Darklyn, a distant Targaryen descendant, attempts to claim Seasmoke and is incinerated. Daemon continues having disturbing dreams and irrationally believes he is being poisoned. Aemond orders Larys to summon Otto Hightower to court. Aegon, slowly recovering, tells Aemond he remembers nothing about the battle. Gwayne Hightower assures Alicent that her youngest son, Daeron, is kind, unlike his brothers. Corlys appoints his illegitimate son, Alyn of Hull, his flagship’s first mate. Meanwhile, Alyn’s brother, Addam, is pursued by Seasmoke. Mysaria’s spies spread rumors that the royals regularly feast while smallfolk starve. Mysaria sends food-laden Targaryen boats to King’s Landing. The grateful citizens fight over limited supplies, causing a riot that Alicent and Helaena barely survive. Mysaria tells Rhaenyra that her father sexually abused her and why she is loyal.

While departing the Eyrie with the young princes, Rhaena leaves to find the wild dragon. Mysaria tells Rhaenyra to search for Targaryen dragonseeds (bastards with Valyrian blood) in King’s Landing as potential dragonriders. The new Lord Paramount, Oscar Tully, offers Daemon allegiance but denounces his nefarious behavior. He demands Daemon’s contrition and to mete out justice for allowing war atrocities; Daemon then executes Willem Blackwood for slaughtering the Brackens. Daemon has another vision of Viserys, who asks if he truly wants the crown and its burden. Jace confronts Rhaenyra, arguing that bastard dragonriders could challenge the Targaryens’ power and threaten the succession due to his illegitimate birth. At Rhaenyra’s command, Elinda and Alyn deliver the dragonseeds to Dragonstone, Hugh, and Ulf among them. Vermithor kills many dragonseeds until Hugh claims him; meanwhile, Ulf claims Silverwing and flies over King’s Landing. Aemond pursues him on Vhagar but nearing Dragonstone, he quickly retreats upon seeing Rhaenyra with Syrax, Vermithor, and Silverwing. Episode 8 Episode Title: “The Queen Who Ever Was” Written by: Sara Hess Directed by: Greeta Vasant Patel Air Date: August 4, 2024 Summary: Tyland Lannister allies with the Triarchy, but must first defeat Admiral Sharako Lohar in mud-wrestling; he wins, impressing her.

Gwayne challenges Criston, who regrets the war. A rage-fueled Aemond destroys Sharp Point with Vhagar. Rhaenyra, who hoped to have more dragonriders would deter conflict, declares war. Ulf’s boorish behavior angers Jace. Alyn rebuffs Corlys’s attempts at reconciliation. Rhaenyra and Addam fly to Harrenhal after Simon Strong sends a warning that Daemon may be traitorous. Alys leads Daemon to a weirwood tree where he foresees a future including a White Walker and Daenerys Targaryen; seeing himself as part of a larger story, he swears fealty to Rhaenyra. Helaena refuses Aemond’s demand to fly Dreamfyre into battle and foresees that he will die in the war. Alicent secretly travels to Dragonstone, offering to surrender King’s Landing to Rhaenyra in exchange for her and her family’s safety; Rhaenyra insists Aegon must die to ensure the transition. Otto is briefly seen captive in a cell. Westeros prepares for war. Infamous Shirts for Naked Bodies… You’ll feel “shirty” when you buy our gear from the Flying Pork Apparel Co.

After disagreements over their training styles, Johnny and Chozen challenge each other to a fight. Daniel learns that Chozen’s pride was wounded when Silver stabbed him in the back and Kumiko did not reply to his voice messages. Miguel tries to ease the tension between Sam and Tory while Robby attempts to make amends with Kenny, but he encounters Shawn, who tells him to leave Kenny alone. Robby and Miguel take on Shawn while Sam and Tory try to reason with Kenny into joining their dojo, but to no avail. After receiving a text message, Johnny goes to Coyote Creek, where Stingray tells him to retake the Cobra Kai brand with Kreese and Silver gone. The next morning, Johnny concedes and tells Daniel that Miyagi-Do has the right to represent the students in the Sekai Taikai, but he and Chozen still have their fight. After a talk with Shawn, Kenny joins Miyagi-Do. Elsewhere, Kreese enters Kim Da-eun’s dojo, telling the students that Cobra Kai is back. Episode 2: “The Prize” Written by: Joe Piarulli & Luan Thomas Directed by: Joel Novoa Air Date: July 18, 2024 Summary: Kreese proposes to Master Kim to have his dojo represent Cobra Kai in the Sekai Taikai, only to be turned down after Da-eun’s previous partnership with Silver ended in failure. Master Kim then agrees to the proposal if Kreese ventures to a remote island and recovers his ancient family knife deep within a cave. Kreese finds the knife, but is bitten by an albino cobra, causing him to see hallucinations of Silver and Johnny. Meanwhile, Miguel discovers that Kyler is the subject of hazing by a fraternity that has no plans of letting him in. With the help of Miguel, Demetri, Eli, and Brucks, Kyler takes down the fraternity at their party. After the Diaz apartment experiences a leaky ceiling due to clogged sewage pipes, Johnny gets a sales job at LaRusso Auto Group to save up for a new home. Upon conquering his inner demons and vanquishing his sole weakness, Kreese beheads the cobra and returns to Master Kim with the knife and the dead cobra’s head, determined to not allow anyone to stop him from his goal – not even Johnny. Episode 3: “Sleeper” Written by: Mattea Greene Directed by: Ralph Macchio Air Date: July 18, 2024 Summary: Kreese takes control of the Kim dojo training, focusing on the delinquent Kwon and molding him. That night, after some prodding by Kreese to use his anger for a purpose, Kwon defeats Yoon, the dojo’s top student, in a fight and rips off the King Cobra badge as a personal souvenir, affirming his role as the leader. At the Miyagi house, Daniel, Chozen, and Amanda discover a chest hidden under the floor. Upon opening the chest, they discover Mr. Miyagi co-owned a boxing gym and reportedly fled the country to China after he was wanted for assault and robbery in 1947. After noticing the friendship between Sam and Tory making them weak in their training, Johnny invites them to Devon’s home for a slumber party. Despite Johnny’s plan failing, Sam and Tory suddenly get into an argument before they apologize to each other for their wrongdoings. The next day, the Miyagi-Do dojo learns that the Sekai Taikai will be hosted in Barcelona, and that only six fighters will be allowed to represent each dojo. Episode 4: “Underdogs” Written by: Chris Rafferty Directed by: Sherwin Shilati Air Date: July 18, 2024 In order to determine the six fighters who will represent Miyagi-Do in the Sekai Taikai, Daniel and Johnny bring in Barnes to shake down the dojo.

The next day, the top 12 engage in a battle royale, where each student must rid another of their flags. Tory, Robby, Sam, and Miguel immediately advance. Anthony doubts himself after receiving a bloody nose from Kenny during the battle royale. Johnny confronts Barnes upon learning Devon did not make the cut. The next morning, Barnes has Hawk, Demetri, Devon, and Kenny run through the forest and capture two flags to determine the final lineup. Devon captures the first flag after Kenny suddenly experiences diarrhea while Demetri defeats Hawk to make the team. Kenny accuses Anthony of spiking his water with Mitch’s laxative, when in reality it was Devon, while Daniel suspects Johnny had a part in getting Devon in the lineup. Episode 5: “Best of the Best” Written by: Michael Jonathan Smith Directed by: Sherwin Shilati Air Date: July 18, 2024 Summary: Tory encounters Kreese while returning from the Medical Center, who warns her not to trust Miyagi-do. Daniel and Johnny decide have Sam, Tory, Miguel, and Robby fight each other to secure their spots as team captains. Tory returns home, only to discover her mother has passed away due to an undetected blood clot. On the day of the contest, Robby defeats Miguel to become male captain. During the girls’ fight, Tory displays aggression and is about to score the winning point when Daniel intervenes before she reveals to everyone of her mother’s death and leaves the team, forfeiting the female captain position to Sam. This incident causes an argument between Daniel and Johnny over how they should have handled the situation. Hawk is selected to take over Tory’s spot in the team, with Demetri being slightly displeased at the turn of events. As Robby and Sam are given their captain headbands, Daniel suddenly recognizes a similar headband from Mr. Miyagi’s chest and realizes his sensei fought in the Sekai Taikai too as a team captain and that his headband was actually bloodied at the ends, making Daniel question his beliefs. The Miyagi-Do team arrives in Barcelona for the tournament, where they encounter Kreese and Da-eun’s new four-member Cobra Kai representing South Korea, led by Kwon and Tory.

Mason Paine - 0:02: The end of June is upon us. And joining me today to discuss some of the top search trends from this past month is Google trends expert Marley McAliley. Thanks for joining me, Marley. Marley McAliley - 0:11: Thank you so much for having me. Mason Paine - 0:12: So, you know, one thing I'm always excited about is sales. And I have to know, was there any sales trending in this past June for sales? Marley McAliley - 0:20: People were really interested in different topics around weddings and wedding budgets. People were interested also in different wedding dress styles. So wedding season was really taking center stage. People are trying to figure out, you know, how they can keep their wedding under a budget. Something that was trending was actually a term that I recently heard about, which is called micro wedding. And micro wedding actually just means a small wedding or wedding under 50 people. So a lot of people are trying to figure out, you know, how they can celebrate their big day and do so under a budget. Mason Paine - 0:53: You know, I've never had the privilege of being part of, like, a wedding like that. Have you ever had wedding planning experience? Marley McAliley - 0:59: I don't have any wedding planning experience. I've been to a few weddings, but all of them have been on the larger side. So I think it's nice, the idea of having a more intimate ceremony with only your closest friends and family. Mason Paine -1:12: I kind of like that idea, too, because, like you've said, I've only been to, like, the big weddings. And the only thing I'm really worried about is is it an open bar? You know, what kind of food are they having? But I think it would be kind of nice to have something really tiny because then you could probably spend more money, and it feels like it's more, you know, like maybe you can go with duck instead of chicken. Marley McAliley - 1:31: Yeah, absolutely. You can splurge on certain areas that you normally wouldn't be able to with a larger party size, for sure. Mason Paine - 1:37: Zachary now, besides the catering, was there anything else that was kind of trending with the wedding season because it is pretty large? Marley McAliley - 1:43: Yes. We saw a lot of different questions around what pertains to a wedding. So basically, what do you wear to a wedding? What hand does a wedding ring go on? When do you send wedding invitations? What to write in a wedding card? So lots of questions on just, like, general best practices when it comes to attending weddings. Mason Paine - 2:03: What else happened in June? Marley McAliley - 2:05: Tv we had some great June premieres this past month. A lot of people are interested in Bridgerton. Bridgerton was the top trending premiere in June. People were searching questions related to the show, such as does call and forgive Penelope? Does Eloise and Penelope make up people are also really excited about House of the dragon, and high Valyrian is actually the top trending how to learn for languages, and that's the made up language that they speak in House of Dragons and in Game of Thrones. Mason Paine -2:35: I'm curious, have you watched any of these shows? Because I sure have not. Marley McAliley - 2:39: I've seen Bridgerton. I'm a big fan of Bridgerton. I've seen all of the seasons. So, yeah, I basically binge the third season this past weekend, so that was an enjoyable time.

This week on "We Don't Wanna Podcast," join Zach and Scott as they dive deep into the darkness and drama of "Game of Thrones" Season 8, Episode 3 - "The Long Night." While this episode has polarized fans, our dipshit duo finds themselves mostly in favor, lauding its unique blend of non-stop action and poignant character moments. Prepare for a journey through an episode where the pacing is as sharp as Valyrian steel. It's rare to see a show pull off an hour-long battle that doesn't overstay its welcome, but "The Long Night" does just that. It masterfully slows down for reflective moments, then surges forward with adrenaline-pumping action, all while weaving individual storylines into a tapestry of epic storytelling. Highlights? Oh, we've got them! From the hauntingly beautiful scene of the Dothraki charging into the abyss, to the dragons clashing in a breathtaking aerial battle, this episode is a visual feast. And let's not forget the heart-stopping tension as Jon Snow races against time, culminating in Arya's legendary takedown of the Night King. Zach and Scott are here to break it all down: the strategy, the spectacle, and the suspense. Tune in for their insightful and humor-filled take on one of "Game of Thrones'" most ambitious episodes.

Deze aflevering is eerder op 08 september 2022 gepubliceerd. (Dipsaus is tot eind september 2023 met zomerstop. Tot die tijd zullen we afleveringen die voorheen achter een betaalmuur waren opnieuw publiceren).Yaay, onze Mariam is er dit keer eindelijk bij! In de derde aflevering "Second of His Name" bespreken Anousha, Ebissé en Mariam, samen met scenarioschrijver Manju Reijmer, de massive time jump, het gevecht tegen de Crabfeeder; het bizarre jachtfeest omdat een jongen twee jaar werd; de fysieke en mentale aftakeling van Koning Viserys. Rhea Rhea de raging, sulking teenager in verzet én Dae Dae, die zonder ook maar een woord uit te spreken voor een Panty Melting spektakel zorgde komen ook aan bod. Ook zien we steeds meer van de Valyrian clan en helaas daarmee ook the wigs, those damned wigs!Ook bespreken we kort de met bombarie onthaalde “Ring of Power(Naps)”, de prequel van Lord of The Rings. De meningen zijn verdeeld … De "Game of Thrones-universum is uitgebreid met de prequel-serie "House of the Dragon". In Dance of Dipsaus gaan we de hele series wekelijks ontleden. "House of the Dragon" draait om de Targaryan-dynastie, ongeveer 200 jaar vóór de gebeurtenissen van "Game of Thrones". Het is gebaseerd op delen van de roman "Fire & Blood" van George R.R. Martin uit 2018. We verwachten dat de show zijn voorganger en zijn eigen naam waarmaakt - met vuur, bloed en draken in overvloed.#DragonsYall #DemDragons #DanceofDipsausZie het privacybeleid op https://art19.com/privacy en de privacyverklaring van Californië op https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The king then insists the pair owe him a new gift. Tyrion suggests a Valyrian steel dagger to go with the sword, and describes the dagger used in the attempt on Bran Stark's life. The king gives a sharp look, but then agrees the dagger would be a good option.Later in the litter, Tyrion asks about Bran and Joff's relationship while in Winterfell together.

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

By Roger CormierI don't know what 2030 is going to look like. Mets owner Steve Cohen made his billions doing his darndest to predict what the stock market would do, so he would like to think he does know something about the future. Today, Cohen is a loser. The Mets were outbid by the Minnesota Twins. If thought of just this way, you would be thinking we must be in the past, the Wilpon era. I just know that today there is embarrassment. The Mets had an All-Star, a player proclaimed by Cohen himself to be the "missing piece" for three whole weeks. They let him get away. The truth is we don't know how this will ultimately play out. Maybe the Mets are right, and Correa's ankle is made of saltwater taffy, and he'll have an injury-plagued second half of his career. Maybe Correa will regret not taking the deal where he'd have to take a physical every year to keep his contract going. Maybe Brett Baty's ankle is made of Valyrian steel and he'll be a superstar. Maybe Eduardo Escobar will shake off his subpar 2022 and get back to hitting the way we know he can. Maybe the Mets will sign Manny Machado to play third next offseason (pending physical pending physical pending phy —). Maybe Machado will stink. It goes on and on. I just know about today. You can't win the World Series in the winter, but that's only true in the literal sense. I'm embarrassed and annoyed right now. It feels like the Mets blew it. The only guarantees we have about the future are that Steve Cohen is going to overreact and try to make another big splash and Gary Cohen will have something funny to say about this whole mishegas during the first Spring Training telecast.  This is a public episode.

This week Ender and James breakdown and review episode 7 of HBO's House of the Dragon "Driftmark". Episode Overview King Viserys and his court attend Lady Laena's funeral in Driftmark. Rhaenyra and Daemon reunite and are physically intimate. Viserys fails to reconcile with Daemon. Prince Aemond claims Vhagar as his dragon, causing an altercation with his cousins and nephews in which Lucerys slashes Aemond's eye with a knife. Wanting retribution, Queen Alicent lunges at Lucerys with Viserys' Valyrian steel dagger to gouge out his eye. Rhaenyra blocks Alicent but her arm is wounded. After claims that Rhaenyra's children are bastards, Viserys decrees anyone questioning their legitimacy will be silenced. Hand of the King, Otto Hightower later tells Alicent they will prevail, while Rhaenyra and Daemon unite against Alicent and her supporters. To continue the true Valaryon lineage, Princess Rhaenys urges that Lord Corlys pass his title through their granddaughter, Baela, claiming Laenor did not sire Rhaenyra's children. Ser Qarl appears to murder Laenor, with Rhaenys and Corlys believing a charred body is their son's. Meanwhile, Daemon and Rhaenyra privately marry in the old Valyrian Dragonlord tradition to perpetuate the pure Targaryen bloodline. After faking his death, Laenor secretly flees Driftmark with Ser Qarl.

This show features local Denver comedians in a space where they can say whatever they want, and we are not a success until we have someone lose their job at SNL. This week on the podcast we have the one and only, Damon Howard. The episode opens with Evan explaining just how offensive his old summer camp was, the group talks about the shifting comedy scene in Denver, and Dylan recaps his trip to Durango for the Four Corners Comedy festival. Dylan walks us though his "first love", Evan asks about whether he'll end up in hell, and Damon tells us how he ended up with a mouth full of puss. Damon makes a Big Announcement, tells his story of the first time he smoked (it was a hard time smoking with Russians), and we meet "Vacation Damon". A talk about scary movies, leads to some spooky stories, haunted houses experience and witnessing things close to exorcisms. Dylan educates us on the importance of Valyrian bloodline, we watch a few videos and Damon critiques our comedy. (Dylan no longer wraps the cord) The episode ends with a new rule from the 420 Code and our comedic influences. Throughout the show, we break down jokes, tell stories from the local scene and discuss all of the important things happening all around the world.

In King's Landing läuten die Hochzeitsglocken. Thronerbin Rhaenyra soll mit Laenor, dem ältesten Sohn aus dem Hause Velaryon vermählt werden.

Was hat die Liebschaft seiner Tochter mit einem Ritter der Garde für Folgen, speziell wenn dieser einen weiteren Schwur brechen möchte? Haben die Mitglieder des Hauses Royce Grund zur Annahme, dass Prinz Daemon den Tod ihrer Erben zu verantworten hat? Findet die Königin Alicent nicht nur einen, sondern gleich zwei neue Verbündete am Hofe? Und wie erfreut ist ihr Gemahl, dass sie in einem grünen Kleid zu spät zur Hochzeit erscheint?

We're back again with another episode of Mind Gap Podcast! This week, Doug and Justin give some spoiler free reactions to the first two episodes of Amazon's Lord of the Rings prequel, The Rings of Power. They chat about their initial thoughts before diving into the limited constructive criticism and the unabashedly absurd hate the show has gotten. The nerds talk about the butthurt boys who are nit picky about the details of a fantasy world and the butthurt boys who are mad that there are non-white characters in this show. The dorks wrap things up with another Ask Practical Doug segment featuring a question about whether avoiding a friend's Game of Thrones-themed wedding featuring required high-Valyrian language makes them a bad person.

Rhea Rhea de raging, sulking teenager in verzet én Dae Dae, die zonder ook maar een woord uit te spreken voor een Panty Melting spektakel zorgde komen ook aan bod. Ook zien we steeds meer van de Valyrian clan en helaas daarmee ook the wigs, those damned wigs!Ook bespreken we kort de met bombarie onthaalde “Ring of Power(Naps)”, de prequel van Lord of The Rings. De meningen zijn verdeeld … De "Game of Thrones-universum is uitgebreid met de prequel-serie "House of the Dragon". In Dance of Dipsaus gaan we de hele series wekelijks ontleden. "House of the Dragon" draait om de Targaryan-dynastie, ongeveer 200 jaar vóór de gebeurtenissen van "Game of Thrones". Het is gebaseerd op delen van de roman "Fire & Blood" van George R.R. Martin uit 2018. We verwachten dat de show zijn voorganger en zijn eigen naam waarmaakt - met vuur, bloed en draken in overvloed.Abonneer je VIA PODIMO! #DragonsYall #DemDragons #DanceofDipsausZie het privacybeleid op https://art19.com/privacy en de privacyverklaring van Californië op https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Episode three of House of the Dragon was a splendid spectacle - from a fiery beach battle, to a lavish glamping party, to a chaotic suicide run. "Second of His Name" was a pivotal episode for several characters, and we can't wait to see what awaits them in the weeks to come. On this week's episode of the Night's Cast, Vanessa and Petra discuss teenage angst, the difficulties of running a kingdom (and handling a strongwilled daughter), and Daemon's plot armor of Valyrian steel.

James and Ender discuss the 2nd episode of HBO's new Original Series House of the Dragon. Show Overview: Six months after Rhaenyra is named the heir, Daemon illegally occupies Dragonstone, supported by loyal City Watch guards. Meanwhile, Prince-Admiral Craghas Drahar, known as the Crab Feeder, menaces the Stepstones at the Triarchy's behest. Rhaenyra's suggestion to show force against Daemon is dismissed, and she is instead relegated to appointing a new Kingsguard knight. Ignoring others' advice, she chooses Ser Criston, the only knight with actual battle experience. Ser Otto's daughter, Lady Alicent, has been privately consoling Viserys since his wife's death; she urges him and Rhaenyra to discuss Queen Aemma and his kingly duty to remarry. Lord Corlys and his consort, Rhaenys, propose that Viserys unite their Valyrian houses through marriage with their twelve-year-old daughter, Laena Velaryon. The Small Council learns Daemon stole a dragon egg and intends to marry his mistress Mysaria as a second spouse. Ser Otto and a small detachment sail to Dragonstone to retrieve the egg. Rhaenyra follows on her dragon, Syrax, and forces Daemon to renounce his false claims and return the egg to her. Viserys announces he will wed Lady Alicent, angering Lord Corlys, who then seeks out Daemon to propose an alliance. Show Episode Director: Greg Yaitanes Show Episode Writer: Ryan Condal

Grab your stake and crucifix pendant, we're going vampire-hunting! Well, vampire-etymology-hunting. The podcast Buffering the Vampire Slayer, which recaps the TV show Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode by episode, invited me to answer their listeners' questions of language that the show had provoked. Together with BVTS hosts Kristin Russo and Jenny Owen Youngs, I tackle the etymology of coven, vampire/vampyre, wigging out, the name Buffy and Bovril; as well as google as a verb, conlang on TV, and why Latin is so often the language of spells and spookiness.

Jon gets a pardon and a shiny new sword from Jeor Mormont. His buddies are all excited but Jon is preoccupied with news from the south. Maester Aemon sympathizes and reveals a shocker. Simon and Mackelly continue their watch. Chapter Review: Jon has burned his hand in finally killing off Othor. While he's nursing it, Lord Commander Mormont presents him with a sword. It is the family sword of the Mormonts, it too was burned but the Valyrian steel survived. The new handle replaces the bear with a direwolf. Jon decides to keep the name, Longclaw, as it works as well for a wolf as a bear. Even better news for Jon is that Alliser Thorne has been sent to King's Landing to make the case for more troops, with the help of Jafar Flowers' trusty and un-decomposing hand. Jon is very concerned about the latest rumors from the south: Robb calling the banners and marching south to fight for their father. Jon is summoned to help maester Aemon feed his ravens. The old man reminds Jon of his vows. Jon doesn't think Aemon understands, but the maester reveals that he is Aemon Targaryen so, yeah, he's had a few family setbacks that he has had to endure in his time at the wall.    Characters/Places/Names/Events: Eddard "Ned" Stark - Erstwhile hand of the King, Lord of Winterfell, and deceased King Robert's closest friend. Currently languishing in a King's Landing cell for treason. Jon Snow - Bastard son of Ned Stark. Recently sworn brother of the Night's Watch. Samwell Tarly - Brother of the Night's Watch. Heavy-set and cowardly. Attendant to maester Aemon. Friend to Jon Snow. Ser Jeor Mormont - Lord Commander of the Night's Watch. Ser Alliser Thorne - Master of Arms for the Night's Watch.

Jon befriends a brand new recruit, who is very different from most of the brothers of the Night's Watch. Sam Tarly is a large, soft, admitted coward, and Jon can't understand why he's joined the Black Brothers. When we hear his sad story, we get that he didn't have much of a choice. Chapter Review Jon Snow and the other recruits are training in the armory when in walks a huge boy of 15 dressed in fine clothes. After ridiculing him, Ser Alliser tests the boy's fighting skills, by pitting him against a big strong boy named Halder. The fight ends in seconds with Sam on the ground crying. When Ser Alliser won't let Halder stop beating him, Jon jumps in and defends Sam. It turns into a three-on-three battle that Jon, Pyp, and Grenn win. They learn Sam is the firstborn son of Lord Randyll Tarly, and he tells them he's a coward. Later, Sam tells Jon he didn't have a choice to join the Night's Watch. His father did not care for his soft, gentle nature. He preferred that Sam's younger brother Dickon be his heir. On his 15th nameday, his father told Sam that if he didn't join the Night's Watch, he was going to kill him. Jon then convinces the rest of the boys to go easy on Sam. Only Rast requires a little convincing, which Ghost is more than happy to provide. Characters/Places/Names/Events Jon Snow - Bastard Son of Lord Ned Stark. Recruit to the Night's Watch. Samwell Tarly - New recruit of the Night's Watch. Son of Lord Randyll Tarly. Pyp - Recruit of the Night's Watch. Small and talented at imitations and voices. Grenn - Recruit of the Night's Watch. Big, slow, and not very bright. Ser Alliser Throne - Master-at-arms of the Night's Watch. Mean, bitter, and humorless. Donel Noye - One-armed armorer and smith of the Night's Watch. Randyll Tarly - Sam's father. Lord of Horn Hill. Bannerman to Mace Tyrell of Highgarden. Dickon Tarly - Sam's younger brother. Now heir to Randyll Tyrell.Horn Hill - The seat of House Tarly in the Reach.Heartsbane - The ancestral two-handed Valyrian steel sword of House Tarly.Support the podcast.
