642: ADwD The Prince of Winterfell

Spoilers, profanity, Jaime x Brienne. We sense a little bit of Theon coming out of the darkness while poor Jeyne gets pushed into it. If we ignore the groom, Winterfell sounds like a beautiful wedding venue and maybe Wyman Manderly missed his calling as a caterer. A Song of Ice and Fire. A Dance with Dragons - The Prince of Winterfell (Theon IV).

641: ADwD Daenerys VI

Spoilers, profanity, Jaime x Brienne. Dany is stuck between a rock and a hard place - and we don't mean Daario. We appreciate Dany's soft heart, but why does she always have to make the worst romantic choices? The heart wants what it wants and maybe Dany is destined to rule alone. A Song of Ice and Fire. A Dance with Dragons - Daenerys VI.

638: ADwD Bran III

Spoilers, profanity, Jaime x Brienne. Bran's final chapter is a masterpiece, but why do we assume Meera is alive? Is Bran Stark more powerful than Bloodraven? Are they related? Is Bloodraven pulling one over on Bran or has he learned his lesson? A Song of Ice and Fire. A Dance with Dragons - Bran III.

637: ADwD Tyrion VIII

Spoilers, profanity, Jaime x Brienne. Tyrion's coming back to himself and we couldn't be more relieved. Penny is actually great and maybe the fandom is just super misogynistic? You know it's a good chapter when you get to talk about pyroclastic flows. A Song of Ice and Fire. A Dance with Dragons - Tyrion VIII.

636: ADwD Reek III

Spoilers, profanity, Jaime x Brienne. Roose is on the loose, but he's suddenly a far more strategic guy than the vampire who curated the Red Wedding playlist. Poor Theon has to listen to everyone's inappropriate stories. I guess it's better than getting flayed? A Song of Ice and Fire. A Dance with Dragons - Reek III.

634: ADwD Daenerys V

Spoilers, profanity, Jaime x Brienne. Dany’s stuck in Meereen and so are we, and no one is happy about it. Guile calls these chapters Dany’s office hours, and it’s hard to disagree. Does anyone blame a fifteen year old for picking the least bad of fifty bad options? And look, GRRM, we agree that the Meereenese knot is indeed a quagmire, but if it was caused by a pacing problem couldn’t we have sidestepped it altogether? A Song of Ice and Fire. A Dance with Dragons - Daenerys V.

633: I dreamed of you?

Spoilers, profanity, Jaime x Brienne. In this Patreon exclusive, we deep dive on a listener prompt about the use of the phrase "I dreamed of you" in GRRM's expanded universe. Two of the characters who use this dream are Targaryens (or Targ adjacent) and two are Lannisters. Does it mean anything? Is the phrase for the dreamer or the dreamed of? Are two out of three instances romantic? Where does Tyrion fit in this mess? And does anything really beat Jaime saying it to Brienne? A Song of Ice and Fire. Special Episode - I dreamed of you?
