These chapters are Eddard, Tyrion, and Catelyn. Eddard has a rough conversation with Robert in which he learns that the king still nurses the old grudges against the Targaryens, and he knows that shit is already not going well. Tyrion is heading up to see the Wall even though he's not really wanted, and him and Jon have an oddly hostile moment followed by an oddly friendly one.
And Catelyn saves Bran from being stabbed to death, but suffers a pretty terrible injury herself and decides to head to King's Landing to find out just what the fuck is going on.
Thanks so much for listening, and I will see you again in 2 weeks with a new episode!

These chapters include one of the very first from Tyrion's perspective, and in it we see someone who is a little less aggressively clever than the show portrayed him, and who is instead slightly more thoughtful an perceptive. It's been lovely to get back to this version of Tyrion, and I didn't realize how coarse the show had made him in some ways until I reread.
In other events, we've got Jon having a terrible encounter with Catelyn before saying goodbye to Bran, and then gifting Arya her tiny sword called Needle. Then Daenerys marries her Dothraki horselord, and her wedding night is just so different in the book! RoShawn and I discuss those differences, and I retract some previous defenses I made.
Thanks so much for listening, and we will see you soon with a new episode!

Game Of Thrones- Chapters 6, 7, 8 Sep 14, 2020

When I originally posted the ASOIAF episodes on my old website (pour one out for the late OG, RIP original website) I did them each as their own blog entry, and used artwork I found around the interwebs. It was a lot of fun to find artist interpretations of characters or certain scenes or sigils. I decided I wanted to bring that back because I was curious what was out there now that the show has grown so popular. As I anticipated, there's a lot more artwork that is centered around the show and the actors rather than the imagination of the artist, but I'm going to do my best to find interesting pieces. This week's comes from Hed-ush on deviantART, and while it's a little late because it depicts the scene of our Stark boys finding the direwolves from the first episode of coverage, I liked it enough to use it for this episode. Seeing as this chapter contains the last moments of Bran walking on his own two feet, it seems like a good send off. https://www.deviantart.com/hed-ush/art/Game-of-Thrones-Bran-I-513462225
I hope that you all enjoy these episodes, and we will see you soon with three more chapters.

In these chapters (Daenerys, Eddard, Jon) we get a reminder of just what a fucking creep Viserys is to his sister, and honestly I had forgotten just how much I truly hated him. Then there's Ned, who is clearly aware that some bad shit is on the docket but doesn't see a way around it, and it's horrible to watch him hurtling to his own destruction. And of course lastly there's Jon, who is struggling with his place in the world, and gets a pep talk from Tyrion.
I hope that you all have been enjoying the coverage, and you know where to find us!

It's tiiiiiiiime!
Thank you all so much for getting us to goal, and giving me the means to compensate RoShawn (at least a bit) for her work! I am so excited to start this massive journey, and I can't wait to see what it's like to revisit this familiar world after so much has happened.
These chapters, we spend some time with the Starks and the White Walkers, and that shit is just as effective in a book as it is on the screen. RoShawn is pleasantly surprised by how creepy the White Walkers are, and notes some major differences in their behavior and appearance from the book. Then we're with Bran, seeing him before his fall while he's still able to easily ride a horse, and afterward spend some time with Catelyn as she delivers bad news to Ned.
I hope that you all enjoy the episode, and we will be seeing you again soon with a new episode!

First of all, I want to credit the creator of the awesome Game Of Thrones theme remix that I used this episode. He goes by MetroGnome and you can find the full song here, with a free download link! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XA6a7sYKeeA
In this preliminary episode, RoShawn and I discuss what we're planning for this series, when the show will begin, what kind of spoilers to expect, and how we feel about getting started!
Thank you so much to everyone who helped get us to goal so that we can start this project. I hope you enjoy the show!
