3 (Long) discussion points

1) If we believe Gormon Peake's statement that all the Lords and Ladies at the wedding are Blackfyre supporters that means House Smallwood have turned coat since Ser Eustace Osgrey described how a Loyalist Smallwood knight ("a Riverman with 6 Acorns") killed his son Addam at the battle of Redglass field in The Sworn Sword.

2) We did see the Inn of the Crossroads in the Mystery Knight. In Breinne VII of A Feast of Crows, Septon Meribald recites the entire history of the Inn, and specifically a time when it was called the "River Inn" because the "Trident flowed beneath its back door" and there was a ferry landing where "travelers could cross to Lord Harroway's Town and Whitewalls." When Brienne questions the location of the Trident, the septon acknowledges the river moved 70 to 80 years ago.

3) Where were the Northern houses during the Blackfyre rebellion? Almost every realm has at least 1 house in either the Loyalist or Rebel army except for the Ironborn and the North. I'm not shocked that the Ironborn aren't there, but wouldn't the Warden of the North be expected to send troops to the Targaryen army during such a moment of crisis?

They were briefly talking about bloodraven supposedly sending shadow babies to kill his enemies, which got me a thinking.

How do guys birth shadow babies? What orifice would it come from ?

Ever pass a kidney stone?

I would envision male shadowbaby delivery resembling other typical gaseous excretions from the body (ie from the rear). I presume the result would be silent but deadly. ;)

Great episode guy - sorry for the wrong info in the first post EP. 30 is THE HEDGE KNIGHT...

Overall it was an on-topic, and very solid episode and one of the episodes I would recommend to firts-time-listeners (if they already have read D'n'E) - 2 hours on-topic with lots of banter and fun.

Some random thoughts:
- Ser John is gay - obviously, who else would name himself "The Fiddler" (and once I got that the first time). It was different with Loras - in rereads I always think - HOW COULD ANYONE (me included) HAVE MISSED THAT - the Knight of Flowers - the flowery cape - SO gorgeous - the rainbow guard...?

- I remember that during my first read I was totally confused. I first thought John the Fiddler was Bloodraven - I totally got that he is someone different, but Blackfyre?! And as you also pointed out: It seem that the whole thing was not totally thought through. Could Bloodraven have orchestrated that ALL? For getting the biggest Blackfyre-supporters to one place?

- Regarding "Why Fireball's son is so good" - everybody could have a good/lucky day. Look at Jorah. There has not be any cause for that.

Also how does Tyrion not getting Greyscale prove that Targaryens are immune to diseases? Or are we also assuming secret Targ Tyrion when we go to that theory?

I think that they were saying Westerosi are immune to the bloody flux, not greyscale. Greyscale is clearly just random

Correct.
