EP. 121 - A Storm of Swords: Ch. 61-62

More deaths at another wedding?? We all knew this day would come, but to everyone&apos;s surprise, we find ourselves more horrified than satisfied. We break down why Tyrion suspects Joffrey in a mystery from all the way back in book one of A Song of Ice and Fire, we discuss Sansa&apos;s role and how she protects herself living amongst the Lannisters, a new character somehow instantly makes their way onto our homie-list, and we pick out what makes this chapter&apos;s death scene different from the show.

Jess struggles to say "charcuterie," our nostrils are bleeding, and Raven does terrible accents! In A Storm of Swords, we question how brainwashed Stannis is by Melisandre and discuss how forgettable he was in the show. Apparently Robert Baratheon had four brothers and Princess Shireen doesn&apos;t teach Davos how to read??? We learn why Castle Black has so few defenses and Jon faces the wildlings he abandoned. What will happen with Ygritte that doesn&apos;t feel like it belongs in A Song of Ice and Fire?Character perspectives in this episode: Davos and Jon...Thanks so much for listening!

This episode is all about the aftermath of the Red Wedding! How will the Freys take care of Robb&apos;s men? Will Arya learn what happened? We question some differences from the show, including the lack of a wolf-headed king, and we point out some visions coming to fruition. Littlefinger can&apos;t get any more slimy, Joffrey can&apos;t get any more childish, Tywin says the kindest thing to Tyrion that we&apos;ve read thus far, and Roose Bolton somehow gets his hands on Arya.

She reaches Yunkai, where she makes her attempt to take the next slave city, and you won&apos;t believe the audacity of her!

This week&apos;s chapters of A Storm of Swords has us questioning everything!
