Close the Door: Game of Thrones, A Song of Ice and Fire Podcast

Spoilers, profanity, Jaime x Brienne. Surprise, we’re all charmed by Lyonel's “come home with me” pillow talk, but we’re split on his anti-Targ agenda. Do Maekar and Dunk have a trauma bond? Bring on the additions if they’re like this Egg contemplating murdering Aerion scene—we’re leaning into it like Egg leaning into Maekar. Like Dunk, we’re all a little melancholy as we say goodbye to Ser Arlan, but at least Sweetfoot gets a happy ending in her apple orchard. AKotSK. A Song of Ice and Fire. A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms - 1x06 - The Morrow.

Close The Door And Come Here - Episode 623

Spoilers, profanity, Jaime x Brienne. Egg has to watch this age-inappropriate trial, but Guile would never have watched The Hunger Games. Humfrey Beesbury got a honey mustache instead of an introduction, but what a mustache it is. We all love Ser Duncan the Tall’s pre-teen backstory, but we don’t love the extra unexpected pain. Maekar continues to be a fav, but we all have to admit this battle wouldn’t have worked without Finn Bennett’s efforts as Aerion. Raymun stans unite as the green apple comes through battle unfazed, or should we say unbruised. Farewell Baelor Breakhearts, maybe we should spin you off into a Blackfyre Rebellion prequel? We’re happy with this episode as it is, but we also want the extended cut. AKotSK. A Song of Ice and Fire. A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms - 1x05 - In the Name of the Mother.

Spoilers, profanity, Jaime x Brienne. Maekar is giving off major Gen X wine dad energy, and we’re here for it, but Baelor is the brother who has our hearts. If we ever stop complaining about the lighting, please call 911. We are split on the Game of Thrones theme’s heroic appearance, but we all agree that we wanted more Humfreys. At least we can assume that things will get happier and more upbeat next week, right? RIGHT? AKotS. A Song of Ice and Fire. A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms - 1x04 - Seven.

Close The Door And Come Here - Episode 621

Spoilers, profanity, Jaime x Brienne. Guile’s feeling the Black Stallion vibes as Egg takes Thunder through a pre-breakfast training montage. We’re just going to call this guy Ser Ryan Gosling if that’s ok with everyone else. Dunk teaches us how to make breakfast sandwiches Westerosi style and also how to do a whip stitch. House Fossoway really loves them apples, and as long as they’re green, so do we. Dunk’s stepping up with his first no chance and no choice moment, but we have to admit that Egg and Dexter Sol Ansell stole this episode. AKotS. A Song of Ice and Fire. A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms - 1x03 - The Squire.

Close The Door And Come Here - Episode 620

Spoilers, profanity, Jaime x Brienne. Is Ser Arlan packing a canon cannon? Maybe! Everyone hitting on Ser Duncan the Tall sure is. Maekar is the Jan to Baelor’s Marcia on this episode of the Targaryen Bunch. Dunk’s getting the feels with Tanselle and panic from the tourney, Egg’s somehow remaining anonymous despite being the only bald kid in town, and we’re just loving every last second of this ride so far. Except that we’ve apparently been pronouncing everybody’s name wrong. AKotS. A Song of Ice and Fire. A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms - 1x02 - Hard Salt Beef.
