Game of Thrones: Tower of Babble Breakdowns

Julian and Dan breakdown the season's third episode "Oathbreaker", which is once again bookended by the North and features the fallout of Jon's resurrection, Sam's voyage to Oldtown, the highly anticipated Tower of Joy sequence, more grasping for power by the remaining Lannisters, a couple small council meetings, Daenerys meeting the Dosh Khaleen, some classic Varys, Rickon and Osha returning to Winterfell, and Jon dealing with the oath breakers at Castle Black.

Season 6 Episode 2 continues with the fast pace that episode one introduced and, in true Game of Thrones fashion, incites more questions than it answers, although it answers some pretty big ones. Julian and Dan sit down for a full breakdown of the events, their potential outcomes, and some wild speculation over where these story lines might take us next.

Bran dreams of his home, while Cersei is held prisoner in her own, the loyalist's hold their ground at Castle Black, Tyrion braves the dragonpit, Ramsay assumes power in the North, Sansa and Theon part ways, Balon Greyjoy is surprised by a rude homecoming, and the Lord Commander of the Night's Watch comes home at last.

It's Game of Thrones season once again, and this year's premiere episode happily lines up with the Tower of Babble's third birthday! Julian and Daniel sit down to quickly get up to date and lay out some expectations before jumping into one of Game of Thrones' best season openers yet.

This episode picks up almost immediately where last season ended and catches us up with Jon's remaining brothers at Castle Black, the aftermath of the battle for Winterfell and Sansa and Theon/Reek's escape, Jaime returning to King's Landing, as well as turmoil in both Dorne and Meereen, Daenerys' long walk to Vaes Dothrak, and a little Red Woman magic to give the episode its name. 

Happy Anniversary ToB fans! Thanks for listening!

It has come to that time once again, another season finale for Game of Thrones. Season five has seen its ups and downs but the tenth episode really left us with a sour taste in our mouths. Julian and Daniel sit down to discuss all the major plot points this week as well as give our take on what we think might come in season six. The show left enough loose ends that the speculating and theorizing for the next ten months will be excruciating. Last but not least, we delve deep into the major event that concluded the season and talk about how it effected us as viewers (or in Daniel's case, a reader) and whether it was the right note to end a season on.

Arya takes a name off her list, Stannis marches on Winterfell, Jamie and Myrcella depart from Dorne, Brienne avenges a fallen friend, Cersei confesses a sin, Sam leaves The Wall and Jon has a run-in with some watchmen.

Julian and Daniel sit down to discuss the penultimate episode of the season. Typically Game of Thrones saves some big moments for their ninth episodes but did they do enough to top last weeks snowy showdown beyond the wall?

Stannis makes an impossible decision, Jon returns to The Wall, Jamie makes a deal, Arya comes face to face with her past and Dany gets some unexpected help.

The guys break down every major plot point but surprise even themselves with how much their opinions of this episode differed. One thought this weeks offering was a pretty big disappointment and the other thought it was on par with some of the best of the season. Listen in to found out who's on which side.

Apologies for the late post last week. To make up for it we woke up extra early Monday morning to record this weeks Game of Thrones ToB Breakdown. And boy was it a doozy of an episode. 

Tyrion and Jorrah make their case to Dany, Arya becomes someone else, Sansa learns a secret, the Boltons strategize, Cersei is asked to confess and Jon arrives to Hardhome just in time to face off against the army of the dead.

This week Jon leaves for Hardhome, Sam grieves a death of a friend, Stannis weighs a tough decision, Sansa asks for help, Bron and Jamie are caged, Jorrah and Tyrion reach their destination, Dani indures the fighting pits, Ollena and Littlefinger do some more scheming and Cersei gets some comunpance.

In an effort to get the podcast out as soon as possible I didnt include a new Game of Thrones theme cover. We'll be back to our regular format next week.

Game of Thrones brought some controversy this week, and as is typically the case with any controversy, made for a great discussion. Julian and Daniel sit down to discuss all the outrage and vitriol as well as the rest of the events of the episode, which included; Arya delving deeper into the world of the Faceless Men, Tyrion and Jorrah running into a bit more trouble, Jamie and Bronn reaching Myrcella, Cersei's schemes in Kings Landing and Sansa's wedding in Winterfell.

Note: We were unaware of some unexpected technical difficulties during our recording that resulted in some cyloning in certain segments of the podcast. We apologize for this and strive to deliver an improved experience next week.
