In episode 116, Matt and Scad chat with Bloodrider Megan as we return to Sansa, whom we haven’t covered since the first episode of Meet the Khalasar.  And it gets deep here, folks as we are covering Sansa III from ASOS, a chapter in which Sansa’s hopes and dreams are dashed to the ground (again), she is forced to marry a Lannister and suffers trauma at every turn.  Megan dives into the fray with some expert analysis on this chapter as we plumb the depths of the mental warfare the Lannisters are waging.  But as always, the best parts of these episodes is getting to know a bloodrider a bit better.  Learning more about Megan was a delight, and we know you will all enjoy getting to know per as well. We will be continuing the Meet the Khalasar series very soon, but the next episode won’t be released until early November as we have some conflicts over the coming weeks.  We will see you then!

Brrr...it’s cold in here, there must be some daggers in the atmosphere.  Bword, riddler extraordinaire and Queen Beyond the Wall, joins the Fingers for Episode 105:  Only the Cold.  In this episode we cover Jon’s final chapter of A Dance with Dragons in which he faces off against pink letters and dark daggers.  Also Selyse has no impact, Jon delivers a rousing speech, and Wun Wun rages.  We spend some quality time with a friend and get to know her a little better as well, and we hope you enjoy getting to know her better as well! We will be continuing the Meet the Khalasar series in three weeks with Bloodrider Chace.  And before that, you can check us out on Patreon where we will be releasing a new Whatifisode about what Westeros might look like if Beric had won the trial by battle under the Hollow Hill.  Also coming in December, a new special episode:  the first Best of Davos’ Fingers episode!

Selection Covered:  A Dance with Dragons Jon XIII for the most part, but we bounce around quite a bit.  Spoilers beware!

Episode 105: Only the Cold with Bword

We introduce a new format in this episode:  Meet the Khalasar.  The whole goal of this format is to learn more about some of our friends, while delving deeply into each Bloodrider’s favorite chapter.  The first entry features Misa, our Queen of Gifs and Beauty, as we review her favorite chapter:  Sansa VII from A Storm of Swords.  We explore Sansa’s growth, her confidence, and her loneliness against the backdrop of unwanted advances from Petyr and truly unwarranted accusations from her troubled Aunt Lysa.   It’s a beautiful and iconic chapter and Misa joined in like an old pro.  We hope you enjoy! If you enjoyed our Whatifisodes, check out our Patreon offering as we have a new Whatifisode coming out later this month:  What if Beric had won the Trial By Battle under the Hollow Hill.  That can be found at patreon.com/davosfingers.  And make sure you come back to us later this month as we spend some time with Bloodrider Bword! If you want to chat or ask us a question, we can be found at wearedavosfingers@gmail.com, on twitter @davosfingers, at davosfingers.com, or you can find us and like us on Facebook.  We love hearing from you guys, so drop us a line.  Lastly, if you want to support the cast, go check out our patreon site at patreon.com/davosfingers. Selection Covered:  A Storm of Swords, Sansa VII mostly, but we duck in and out of other events in the main series.  So spoilers beware.

Episode 104: Snow Castles with Misa

In Episode 103, we delve into a world in which Jaime does not toss Bran from a window, a lighter timeline...maybe.  In this timeline Jaime intimidates Bran into silence.  Bran goes south, Jaime is not a child murderer, and the 3-eyed crow has to make some choices.  This change obviously has huge impacts on Bran and Jaime as people, their arcs completely change.  But surprisingly, the Fingers think lots of things might actually stay the same. We hope you enjoy this final regular release of Whatifisodes series.  This series will be continuing as a rotating part of our Patreon offering.  So if you really like the format, check us out there!  Next episode we will be bringing on Bloodrider Misa to talk about her favorite chapter:  Sansa VII from A Storm of Swords.  We will learn about Misa and what brought her to ASOIAF while we talk through that one chapter in depth.  We are really excited for it, so be sure to check that out in three weeks!  But for now enjoy this last Whatifisode. Lastly,  send us some raven mail!  We can be found at wearedavosfingers@gmail.com, on twitter @davosfingers, at davosfingers.com, or you can find us and like us on Facebook.  Any little thought you have about the series or the podcast, we are here for it!!  Oh, also we have that whole Patreon thing goin on at patreon.com/davosfingers, with some new exciting content coming at you monthly! Selection covered:  While we focus pretty heavily on Bran and Jaime themselves, this episode reaches out and touches lots of areas of the story, so it covers all books.

Episode 103: What if Jaime Hadn't Pushed Bran?

The Fingers of Davos embark on episode 102 where we answer the question:  What if Dany had ignored Jorah, and got the Golden Company instead?  It turns out, Bloodriders, that this is a complicated question.  How long does it take her to get to Pentos?  How long until the Golden Company can arrive?  Can Pentos even CONTACT a sellsword company?  Where will Dany land and when?  What is going on in Westeros at that time?  Dany has been so isolated from the events of Westeros that they have continued on largely without influence from her, and we assume they do still. So sit back and enjoy this very time-dependent question!!! We have one more of these Whatifisodes left and then it is on to a new format wherein we bring in friends of the podcast to talk about their favorite chapters. But for now, sit back and relax as we talk some Daenerys! Please reach out to us.  We love hearing from fans of George’s work.  We can be found for complaints, suggestions and praise at wearedavosfingers@gmail.com, on twitter @davosfingers, at davosfingers.com, or you can find us and like us on Facebook.  Oh, also we have that whole Patreon thing goin on at patreon.com/davosfingers. Selection covered:  Be advised, this episode spans all works of George from dusk to dawn, from beginning to end, it can cover anything and everything, so spoilers beware. 

Episode 102: What If Daenerys Ignored Jorah but Got the Golden Company Instead?

Three veteran fans re-reading A Song of Ice and Fire and podcasting our adventure along the way. Each episode covers five chapters. Spoiler-free, relaxed, and irreverent! davosfingers.com
