395: ACoK Tyrion IV (repost)

Spoilers, profanity, Jaime x Brienne. There's no avocado toast at Pycelle's crappy brunch, but that doesn't stop Tyrion from a little poison theft. Stannis is a stickler at checking references—except when it comes to middle-aged clowns. Were the Blackfish and Jon Arryn secret lovers? Is every character but Brienne a problematic fave? Game of Thrones. A Song of Ice and Fire. A Clash of Kings - Tyrion IV. Encore of Episode 196 - originally recorded in 2017.

393: ACoK Tyrion III (repost)

Spoilers, profanity, Jaime x Brienne. Everyone knows about Jaime and Cersei thanks to Stannis and in a manner eerily reminiscent of a high school clique, Tyrion, Cersei, Littlefinger, and Varys decide how to spin the situation to advantage. GRRM is too busy writing fashion descriptions and that’s why we can’t have nice things. Is Cersei in search of a support group? Tyrion has a boner and we’re not allowed to forget it. Also, he’s not nearly as clever as we thought and way more messed up than we realized. Game of Thrones. A Song of Ice and Fire. A Clash of Kings - Tyrion III. Encore of Episode 195 - originally recorded in 2017.

392: ACoK Arya IV

Spoilers, profanity, Jaime x Brienne. Alas poor Yoren, stuck between a rock and a hard place where the Watch is nobody's enemy but nobody's friend. Hot Pie! Arya literally coming through a ring of fire with her moral compass still intact. A Song of Ice and Fire. A Clash of Kings - Arya IV.

388: ACoK Theon I

Spoilers, profanity, Jaime x Brienne. Could a multi-cliff island castle like Pyke actually exist? Saltwater is corrosive and we’re worried about the amount of potatoes that might go to waste during grocery runs. The cliffs would come in handy if you need to yeet a lover like Theon, though. Like the cliffs, Theon’s "my real family would love me more" belief system crumbles when he gets home. Damphair’s got no “eff” sounds in his name and he’s not a party boy anymore. We think the stolen clothes might be part of why everyone and every thing sucks here. Theon would be dead within a week of managing a McDonald’s. Game of Thrones. A Song of Ice and Fire. A Clash of Kings - Theon I.

387: ACoK Davos I

Spoilers, profanity, Jaime x Brienne. Everyone asks “Who is Azor Ahai?” But no one asks “How is Azor Ahai?” Whoever it is, it’s not Stannis who needs way better PR. Sometimes your kids drive you to drink. And, finally, who is the most likable ASoIaF character, and why is it Davos? Game of Thrones. A Song of Ice and Fire. A Clash of Kings - Davos I.
