Game of Owns - House of the Dragon

The GOO cast sends their warmest holiday wishes, including a listener-requested Game of Thrones version of "Twas The Night Before Christmas," read by Micah. Happy holidays and Happy New Year! The Owns will resume in 2013...

Today's casual Friday episode focuses mostly on the "Season 3: In Production" video featuring interviews and footage from the tertiary season of our favorite HBO show. Selina and Micah are more forthcoming than they usually are regarding some of the events that pertain to later "Song of Ice and Fire" books, so listener beware! Responses to our holiday challenges from earlier in the week are also read live.

In today’s GOO, we invent Westeros Rock and invite you all to submit your best band names! We then move beyond the Wall with Jon Snow as the first battle in the Ice versus Fire war is fought, and begin filling up our Christmas tree with the decorations you have submitted to us.

It doesn't take a trip to the Wall for our fearless hosts to feel the winds of Winter on their backs, and so they begin to decorate their Game of Owns Christmas tree. Was King Robert the Chris Kringle of King's Landing? Now that he's gone, Queen Cersei summons our heroine Sansa Stark from her tower chamber, Jeyne Poole is given a choice between cake or death (or very similar), and the terrifying trinity of Cersei, Petyr and Varys show us just how far they will go achieve their ends.

As the week draws to a close, the swordsmen of Game of Owns fight on through the weary battle toward what is hoped to be an everlasting weekend, riddled with bodies of the men of the North. Arya is fleeing an interrupted dancing lesson as she comes face to face with real mortal peril, only to be saved by hiding once where she was most frightened. It’s Friday on GOO, cheers to a great weekend.

The end of Ned Stark's gameless streak has finally reached the podcast as Eric, Zack, and Micah meet once again to share predictions on his future, the future of the realm, and the future of our Planet Earth.

It's just the boys this week as Eric, Micah, and Zack dive into an Owns only episode on this fine weekday. Gentlemen's Quarterly magazine recently highlighted the fabled Game of Thrones Blackwater episode with a splendid article and interview, Season 3 has a new in-depth production video, and Seinfield meets Game of Thrones — only on GOO.

In true GOO fashion, your four hosts celebrate alongside The NIght's Watch in commemoration of a new graduating class, and the first appearance of the North's Sorting Hat.

The good King Robert has been ridden to his bed once again, but not for recreational purposes. No, the brutal assault from Eric's prized pageant boar has left our leader in shambles, and Ned Stark must now carry the future of Westeros.
