452: ASoS Catelyn I (repost) Nov 15, 2022

Show notes

Spoilers, profanity, Jaime x Brienne. After Catelyn Stark pulls out a Hail Mary setting Jaime free, nobody knows what to do with her, certainly not the middle management of Riverrun so they put her up in the poshest suite in the castle (worthy of a five-star review on TripAdvisor were it not for her dying father). Was Lysa’s pregnancy terminated before or after her marriage to Jon Arryn? And just how probable is it that Hoster stayed celibate for two decades? A Song of Ice and Fire. A Storm of Swords - Catelyn I. Originally recorded in 2017. Close The Door And Come Here - Episode 452

451: ASoS Jaime I (repost) Nov 08, 2022

Show notes

Spoilers, profanity, Jaime x Brienne. Brienne is a superhero, Jaime is super snarky and Cleos is pretty much just there. Brienne gives just as good as she gets and we can't wait to see the animated version of her literally sinking a ship. It's the start of a beautiful relationship and we're so here for it. A Song of Ice and Fire. A Storm of Swords - Re-Reread ASoS Jaime I. Originally recorded in 2019. Close The Door And Come Here - Episode 451

450: ASoS Prologue Nov 01, 2022

Show notes

Spoilers, profanity, Jaime x Brienne. Chett is the worst kind of incel, but he's not dumb? Did anyone just think to ask the Wildlings if they're okay? The Night's Watch clearly needs a few women and an Almanac. Chicky lets us know that we don't need to be eating any bear meat. A Song of Ice and Fire. A Storm of Swords - Prologue. Close The Door And Come Here - Episode 450

449: A Clash of Kings - Retrospective Oct 25, 2022

Show notes

Spoilers, profanity, Jaime x Brienne. We look back at Clash with some affection, and some relief. How does this book compare to AGoT? Who has the best introduction? And even though he's only in one chapter, let's talk about how Jaime brings the whole damn thing to life. A Song of Ice and Fire. A Clash of Kings - Retrospective. Close The Door And Come Here - Episode 449

448: ACOK Bran VII Oct 18, 2022

Show notes

Spoilers, profanity, Jaime x Brienne. After two books of making fun of Luwin, we come around to really admiring the guy. See you on the weirwood net, buddy. While the ending of this chapter - and this book - never fails to make us cry, we wouldn't have minded more tales from the crypts. More wolves, fewer dragons, George! A Song of Ice and Fire. A Clash of Kings - Bran VII.

447: ACoK Jon VIII Oct 11, 2022

Show notes

Spoilers, profanity, Jaime x Brienne. Jon's cold and trying to figure out what's going on (and so are we). George has big thoughts on duty. Jon and Qhorin Halfhand have major eagle problems. According to Clotho, caves aren’t horse friendly. Rattleshirt might be noisy, but he’s not a dictator. Ghost doesn't want brothers to fight. It all ends with some surprisingly anti-climatic bone taking. And finally, will the women in GRRM’s life do something about his male gaze? A Song of Ice and Fire. A Clash of Kings - Jon VIII. Close The Door And Come Here - Episode 447

446: ACoK Tyrion XV (repost) Oct 04, 2022

Show notes

Spoilers, profanity, Jaime x Brienne. Tyrion’s issues start with Mom and go straight to Shae. Maggots and modern medicine. Is Tyrion at the Best Western or the Four Seasons? The world is Pod’s mattress. What’s up with the Dead Ladies Club? (go listen to episode 198). And on a special note, we once again had international representation with LoT and our guest (stealth Canadian FTW)! A Song of Ice and Fire. A Clash of Kings - Tyrion XV. Originally recorded in 2018. Close The Door And Come Here - Episode 446

445: ACoK Theon VI Sep 27, 2022

Show notes

Spoilers, profanity, Jaime x Brienne. We find new and creative ways to say “Ugh, Theon, no!” as he finds more kids to potentially murder. Wex shames everyone into being brave, but no one thinks trying to hold Winterfell is a good idea. Theon, we know you were a hostage but listen to Maester Luwin, or your sister, or ANYONE, ffs... Anyway, Theon, you suck (but admittedly Ramsay sucks more). Bonus: Devan gives his thoughts on the new Dragon Show—can he talk Guile into podcasting about House of the Dragon? Finally, we all wonder how Matt Smith didn’t know what he was getting himself into. A Song of Ice and Fire. A Clash of Kings - Theon VI. Close The Door And Come Here - Episode 445

444: ACoK Sansa VIII Sep 20, 2022

Show notes

Spoilers, profanity, Jaime x Brienne. Tywin takes Lannister taste to the next level of gaudy, but his horse still takes a dump in front of the Iron Throne. Cersei is running rehearsals behind the scenes, and directs Sansa to look abandoned. The Lannisters commission jewelry to one-up the Tyrells, but we wonder about the mix of lions and roses. The throne cuts Joffrey and sends him crying off-stage. Sansa finally gets to be a happy, but only for half a page. A Song of Ice and Fire. A Clash of Kings - Sansa VII. Close The Door And Come Here - Episode 444
