The review episode is so old and with the new collection out, it seems like a good idea to do a second review of this. List your questions and comments here for The Sword Sword.

Did anyone start the fire, or was it just a coincidence?
Which policy would you take when punishing Blackfyre traitors, Prince Baelor's or BloodRaven's?
How many Dunk and Egg short stories do you expect to see in total?

The Sworn Sword wrote: "I like my nose how it is, lunk. Let her try and take me, we'll see what gets slit open." He sat cross-legged with his back against a merlon and took a whetstone from his pouch to sharpen his sword. Ser Eustace stood above him. In low voices, they spoke of how to fight the war. "The Longinch will expect us at the dam," Dunk heard the old knight say, "so we will burn her crops instead. Fire for fire." Ser Bennis thought that would be just the thing, only maybe they should put her mill to the torch as well.
"It's six leagues on t'other side o' the castle, the Longinch won't be looking for us there. Burn the mill and kill the miller, that'll cost her dear." Is this mini-chevauchee tactic indicative of the tactics used on a larger scale during the Blackfyre rebellions, or has Ser Eustace become less noble than he was when he participated in the Blackfyre campaigns?

Sorry.Who's a better drinking buddy, classic pre-magic Thoros or Septon Sefton? Is Ser Eustis really suggesting that Dunk should off Lady Rohane and that would be the end of his problems? Is it possible he was that dumb or was he trying to tell Dunk to do something that would send them out in a blaze of glory. Dunk should have stayed around and captained Rohane's guards, wink wink nudge nudge, for a while, no? Both the dream sequences are top notch Martin writing wouldn't you say? What does everyone think of Dunk's talk about ditching Ser Eustis because he lied about which side he supported in a long-gone civil war? Doesn't seem totally on the up and up, does it? How come just The Sworn Sword? Why not do a review episode on the whole Knight of the Seven Kingdoms? What level of NCAA basketball do you think Dunk could play at? (ETA) Benis vs. Shitmouth, who wins a disgusting-but-witty off?

THIS. And to compare the various versions, e.g. previous separate volumes, graphic novels, audiobook (which I think is excellent, voiced by Harry Lloyd)
