Game of Thrones podcast: Season 1, Episode 9 — “Baelor”
By Attewell and I are back with a Game of Thrones podcast. We’re going to finish up the first season this week and ram right through the second in anticipation of the beginning of the new season in April.
Here are links to the posts Steven discusses in the podcast, and as usual, be forewarned — they contain spoilers for all five books:
- Eddard XV (noir existentialism, why Varys’ offer is bad, and what he’s up to, the death of Richard of York)
- Catelyn IX (Walder Frey is full of it, Machiavellian theory on keeping faith with bad actors)
- Jon VIII (what the sword represents, Aemon’s political theory, and more)
- Dany VIII (the power of taboo)
- Tyrion VIII (The Battle of the Green Fork and why Roose Bolton threw it)
- Catelyn X (The Battle of the Whispering Woods and its political consequences)
- Arya V (Arya encounters poverty, the power of rumor, the execution of Ned Stark)
