ASOIAF 2: Game Of Thrones- Chapters 46, 47, 48 Jan 29, 2021

Show notes

These chapters are Daenerys, Eddard, and Jon.
Thank you to Ted Nasmith for this illustration of Viserys bullying Daenerys, which is a nice way to remember what an absolute piece of shit Viserys was and smile about his death. https://www.tednasmith.com/george-r-r-martin/viseryss-horse-rears-over-dany/
These are the chapters where Daenerys eats a heart and her husband kills her brother, Eddard watches Robert die, and Jon gets pissy because he's being assigned a role in the Night's Watch that he didn't want.
There's also, unsurprisingly, a technical error in this episode but it's early on and everything went (mostly) smoothly after that.
Thanks again to you all for listening, and I will see you all again soon with a new episode!

Thanks to Tommy Arnold for the beautiful illustration of Ned confronting Cersei in the Godswood. You can see more of his work here! https://www.instagram.com/tommyarnoldart/
These chapters are Eddard, Sansa, and Eddard.
These are the chapters in which Eddard decides that he's going to attempt to be merciful, and warn Cersei that she's about to be disgraced so that she can flee the city with her children. He really just does not know who he's dealing with.
Meanwhile, Sansa is in deep denial about who Joffrey really is, even though a part of her seems to know that he's dangerous and terrible. It's awful to watch her gaslight her sister and cling to this fantasy of what life would be like if she got to stay at the Red Keep. I am dreading what comes next.
Thank you all so much for listening, and for bearing with us with all the technical issues we've been having. We love you! See you next week!

Thanks to dejan-delicfor this cool illustration of Bronn. https://www.deviantart.com/dejan-delic/art/Bronn-365447661
So, as you will find when you listen, there were some problems with this episode. This was the first recording RoShawn and I did after coming back from our break, and the first since her moving into a new apartment. Due to this, the settings for her mic got reset completely and thus, in the confusion, the first half failed to record. The second half recorded, but was so much softer than usual that I had to lower the volume on my track so as not to overpower RoShawn's voice completely.
I apologize, friends, and next week we should be back to normal. Fingers crossed, anyway. Thank you all for listening.

Thank you to TeiIku for this illustration of Tyrion in the sky cells, which makes me feel sick just reading about it and I never want to think about again, please and thank you. https://www.deviantart.com/teiiku/art/Tyrion-Lannister-263300679
These chapters are Bran, Tyrion, and Eddard. Bran gets cornered by some desperate men (and women) in the woods, Tyrion gets a chance to speak publicly due to his own cleverness, and Eddard just talks about shit right in front of Cersei because he still hasn't learned jack shit.
Ugh.
Thanks so much to you all for listening, and I hope you have a beautiful holiday! We will see you in a couple weeks with a new episode.

Thank you ever so much to kethryn for this hilarious illustration of Lady Lysa Arryn and her son. I will never stop laughing. https://www.deviantart.com/kethryn/art/Bitty-130720391
These chapters are Catelyn, Eddard, and Daenerys. This episode is very punchy because it's our first day back after the break, so please bear with us. :D
Thank you so much for listening, and we will see you next week with a new episode!

Thanks to Xtreme1992 for this illustration of Illyrio looking all kinds of shady. https://www.deviantart.com/xtreme1992/art/Illyrio-Mopatis-by-Amok-379158633
In this episode, we're a mess and everyone is grateful for the upcoming time off. That's really all you need to know.

These chapters are Catelyn, Sansa, and Eddard.
Thanks to zazB for this depiction of the Mountain vs the Knight Of Flowers, which is suitably exaggerated but honestly, based on their respective descriptions, it doesn't seem like it's exaggerated by much. Watch out, Loras! https://www.deviantart.com/zazb/art/The-Flower-and-the-Mountain-254210325
Also, credit to MetroGnome for the theme song, you can download it free and listen here! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XA6a7sYKeeA
In these chapters, we've first got the encounter between Lady Catelyn and Lord Tyrion at the Inn At The Crossroads, in which she makes a unilateral decision to take Tyrion into custody with no actual evidence. Then we go to the Hand's Tourney, and see from both Eddard and Sansa's perspective what the jousts are like and who is competing. And Eddard gets a visit from Varys.
Thanks again so much for listening, and we will see you again soon with a new episode!

Many thanks to Hed-ush for this illustration of Samwell being menaced by Alliser Thorne. https://www.deviantart.com/hed-ush/art/Game-of-Thrones-Jon-IV-537657509 Even Pyp, Jon, and Grenn in the background are well done even though Jon is much more 15-year-old-book-Jon than heartthrob-HBO-Jon.
These chapters are the ones in which RoShawn really is starting to understand the ineptitude of poor Ned in terms of dealing with court intrigue and royal secrets. He wants so badly to be above it all, and views it with such contempt, that the idea his lack of skill in this area could be his undoing doesn't even occur to him.
Meanwhile, here is Sam! Hello my friend!
Thanks for listening, and we will see you next week with a new episode!

Most of the illustrations I found of Syrio were based on the actor from the show, who has a thatch of curly black hair and looks very different from how he's described in the books. Which I might be fine with using later, but I wanted the first illustration to be true to his original description. Thanks to SangrePrimitiva for this one! https://www.deviantart.com/sangreprimitiva/art/Not-today-432516595
These chapters are Arya, Bran, and Daenerys, and damn sometimes they are hard to read. But what else is new? At least Daenerys really comes into her own and winds up being a badass bitch by the end so that we leave with a good taste in our mouths.
Thanks so much again for listening, and I will be seeing you soon with a new episode!

Chapters here are Jon, Eddard, Tyrion
ART CREDIT! I love this image of Catelyn, Littlefinger, and Varys by Hed-ush! https://www.deviantart.com/hed-ush/art/Game-of-Thrones-Catelyn-IV-528087719 I really like the syle, and that the artist either didn't use the actors from the show as a guide, or else made those actors so stylized they appear very different now.
Also, I have been remiss in the last several episodes (and the one for next week, actually) in failing to consult the notes that some listeners have been working on. I am going to try and remember to do this more consistently! Thank you to Austin, Jaime, and Ashleigh for working on this. If you're interested in taking a look at them, here's a link! https://docs.google.com/document/d/1gvRmb-hhRWxKv6S8LrgVwl1RmYow-u8uBjjoKkl1FEs/edit
These chapters deal with Ned getting settled in to King's Landing and immediately learning about this whole plot with Bran and the attempted murder Jon learns that he's really gonna have to change his attitude to not get knifed in his sleep, and Tyrion learns that the Night's Watch is on its last legs.
Thanks so much for listening, and we will see you soon with a new episode!
