We're back, and we're sad. And we're overwhelmed. And we're reeling from revelations. And we're talking in the royal "we." And we're starting every sentence the same. That all stops now. Join me in this episode that covers Hodor's crazy, 20-year story arc, Bran's bafflingly idiotic decision to embark on a solo vision quest, and one warty dick.

What's up ladies and gentlemen, we're back at it again. After a week hiatus due to a bout with greyscale, the pod has returned with a rather healthy episode in both length and content. Contained within are speculations, discussions, and grievances on such topics as Ramsay's importance to the show, Dany's cyclical story arc, and just how the fuck everyone can go from place to place so goddamn quick. Check it out.

Here's part 2 of this week's episode. Splitting them up to try and get this whole iTunes shindig going. Again, yuge thanks to all who sent in queries. Keep it up!

Oh shit! Jon Snow lives! But you knew that would happen. On this episode, I chat about that, plus a whole lot of other stuff including brainings, patricide, power vacuums, and a Leo DiCaprio movie (not The Revenant, despite the thematic similarities). Also, I ran a bit long (over the half hour mark) and got so many awesome questions from listeners that I decided to break this one into two pods. The first one is just my episode discussion, the second is all listener questions. Hope that's cool with everyone.

Praise the Old Gods and the New, for Game of Thrones is back, baby! In this relatively, sorta-kinda-brief episode we revisit the season premiere which featured everything from backstabbing to frontstabbing to an ancient creature masquerading as a hot redhead. Basically everything that Thrones is known for. Hop on in there and catch the fever.

We did it. We made it to the end. This episode has everything you could want, including a comprehensive in memoriam section. Yes, I included the dude who got his face impaled by the spear from Obara. I also discuss the season as a whole, the episode in specifics, and the places we might be going from here. Thanks for taking this journey with me. Valar Morghulis.

This is the longest episode of the podcast yet. But don't worry, it's only like 45 minutes. Maybe even a bit shorter. And there are bits in there that aren't even really that bad, if you pay little enough attention. I yammer on about my inability to predict anything in this damn show, discuss how unrealistic it is that Arya seems to be an invisible person who can go wherever she wants, and also might get into a rather lengthy explanation of the possibilities for a Thrones-themed Smash title.

Because, really, what else happened in this episode? Well, actually, like 20 minutes of podcast happened before even getting into it. Somehow. But you should still listen, because we discuss how the White Walkers are hierarched (a word I just made up), why Sansa's scene was secretly the second most mind-blowing of the episode, and discuss who wins in a battle royale between a fictional dragon, a fictional multi-headed serpent, and two fictional legions of pure evil. It's a good time, trust me.

It's late, I had to be at work at 7:15 today, and I'm not interested in writing an episode description. I talk about some Thronesian stuff including how big of a dick Reek is despite not having one, which eunuch is the best, and also the first time the Queen of Thorns ever lost a conversation. Godspeed, listeners.

This past episode of Game of Thrones was incredible. I laughed. I cried. Well I didn't really cry because it's a TV show and I'm an adult, but watching Alfie Allen cry was not easy. That man already has a more famous sister, he shouldn't have to go through much more heartache.

Regardless, we forage on, deeper into the Benioff- and Weiss-created world of Thrones, in which Sansa really does get married to Ramsay (instead of fake-Arya-but-actually-Sansa's-friend-Jeyne) and Littlefinger basically wins half the realm in two swoops. Always swooping, that one.
