Episode 277: In the Name of the Mother
Episode 277 for the week of February 15, 2026, in which we discuss the fifth episodes of season 1 of HBO’s A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms.
Notes: This episode was recorded in February, but released now due to unforeseen circumstances (not involving a trial of seven!). This is the Esquire article/interview we talked about at the end of the episode. This episode, like all our episodes, contains full spoiler discussion from all relevant published works.

I enjoyed this episode guys. Its been really cool hearing regular episodes from you at the start of the year. I’m looking forward to your final episode on this show. And hopefully to more episode about House of the Dragon later this year.

Sharing this with a colleague who’s been asking about exactly this. Clear enough to forward without extra context.

This clarified a few things I’ve been fuzzy on. Appreciate the straightforward explanation without oversimplifying.
