I think George R.R. Martin didn’t let the people in books eat potatoes, because it’s kind of medieval setting, and in medieval Europe we had no potatoes (that was brought to us after the new world was discovered, and it took centuries before it was any common here).

I am a big fan of eps where you guys pull in different guest hosts as it goes on. And while polished shiny podcasts are fine and dandy, I prefer this kind.

You got asked about twice Ash. Two different hot dudes were wondering where you were.

Re. your take on “Valyrian stone”, it’s just a silly scene meant to replace some sort of impressive glittery CGI treasure scene. Xaro hacking at stone using a steel sword is magnificently pointless.

(I was waiting for him to point out how this super-door is set inside a wall made of Valyrian plaster…)

Thanks for the reference, that’s some sharp reading. I would assume that whatever target she might be after would have to be south of the wall due to the spells of protection on the wall. Also, the previous two examples seem to show that the shadow babies have a limited range. Of course, that’s just my speculation.

Shocking lack of Mimi on this episode.

Although I missed her and Ashley I still enjoyed it, good job from the new guest hosts

theyre actually pretty good at cutting the pauses out through the editing process. remember for the episode reviews, the hosts are literally watching the show in the background so sometimes there are pauses as they are watching the show progress. what they usually do is go back and cut out those silent moments so that the podcast sound much more connected and seamless. in this case the podcast was posted completely unedited so it sounds much more disjointed. i underestimated the value of their editing process and its obviously much appreciated

Haha! I used to do the same thing. Yelling at the computer. Damn they can’t hear me!

Couldn’t agree more. I talked over Lex once and felt like shit about it. Much respect for the Crew and all guests.

Lord Littlefinger,

Was not me.
Poor Meereernese. I hope she dies a suitably heroic death in Westeros.

Yeah that was me.

From Davos II ACoK
“Panting, she squatted and spread her legs. Blood ran down her thighs, black as ink. Her cry might have been agony or ecstasy or both.”

From Melisandre I ADwD
“The red priestess shuddered. Blood trickled down her thigh, black and smoking. The fire was inside her, an agony, an ecstasy, filling her, searing her, transforming her.”

This is after her seduction of Jon & Ghost in the preceding Jon chapter and in the Melisandre chapter Mance describes dreams not dissimilar to the nightmares Stannis has post shadow copulation.

Not certain who the target would be. I assume not Little Walder. ?

Wasn’t really a complaint, just more of an observation. Like I said, it was a great episode. I love all the episode. I’m a maintainer so this is my kind of humor.
It’s frustrating listening sometimes because I always feel like I want to say something in the middle of it. Then I realize that it’s a recording and you can’t hear me. I’m going to end up being one of those old people yelling at the TV.

This is what happens with unedited episodes. Amin had a tricky job editing this one because his audio kept dropping in and out, but eventually that became part of all the fun and jokes near the end of the episode. So does he edit out all his incomprehensible talk or does he not? I’m not sure, but I think that’s why he released this episode unedited. And with unedited episodes there are certainly going to be awkward silences.
