Episode #8 Title: The Mountain and the Viper

Episode Air Date: June 1st, 2014

Summary Author(s): Jason de Lima & Jennifer Heinke

After a week hiatus Rob and Josh are back to recap Episode #8 entitled The Mountain and the Viper. They waste no time and dive right into their discussion by talking about the biggest event of the night, The Mountain versus the Red Viper. Rob emphatically says “Red Viper you blew it!!” Josh feels it was a sad ending to a cool character. Rob says he was really feeling it for the Red Viper, that he had an Inigo Montoya vibe going. Josh reiterates that if you’re expecting justice in Westeros, you’ve come to the wrong place. Rob feels that if you have the Mountain on his back, you have to go in for the kill. Josh responds by saying that the confession for the atrocities against Oberyn’s sister were just as important. Rob simply feels like it was overkill. Josh goes as far to say he thinks it was the best episode of the season.

Gilly in Mole’s Town: Hush Little Baby (11:30)

In the opening scene of the episode we go to Mole’s Town where we find some wenches drinking and belching out songs. They are interrupted by the Wildling’s attack on the town. During the attack Ygritte comes upon Gilly and her baby who are hiding, but decides to just let them be and signals for them to stay quiet. Rob says he is bummed out with this scene, on the other hand Josh was okay with it cause it shows a piece of the culture in the North. They point out that the wenches aren’t being nice towards Gilly. Rob mentions that Gilly recognized that the owl hooting is some sort of signal which leads her to take refuge. Josh says how Gilly is from beyond the wall so she’s surely accustomed to these sorts of things. Rob is confused about the Wildling’s plan, and asks Josh if they’re trying to draw them away from the Wall? Josh replies by saying that by forcing men from the Night’s Watch to go to Mole’s Town, there will be fewer men on guard at Castle Black, and therefore it would be easier for the Wildlings to breach the Wall and open the gate. They both mention how they were pleased to see Ygritte again after so long.

Sam & Jon Snow: Pity Party for the Craven (16:35)

They move on to discuss the next scene where we find Jon Snow, Sam and a few other brothers of the Night’s Watch at Castle Black talking about the events at Moles Town. Rob expresses his displeasure with the fact that the brothers were indulging Sam who was pitying himself for having taken Gilly to Moles town to begin with. Rob feels like they have bigger problems to deal with then worrying about Gilly. Rob feels like now would be a good time to reconsider Jon’s plan to flood the gate, but Josh says that they’re running out of time and that the attack is imminent. Josh says the problem is political in nature cause Alliser Thorne and Janos Slynt don’t like Jon Snow, hence their refusal to take into consideration any of his suggestions. Rob is annoyed by their stubbornness. Furthermore, Josh points out that the glory days of the Night’s Watch are over, and says the leaders are lazy and ambivalent. They end this segment by discussing whether next episode will be ...

Game of Thrones Season 4, Episode #7 Title: Mockingbird

Episode Air Date: May 18th, 2014

Author(s): Jason de Lima & Jennifer Heinke

This week Rob and Josh are back to recap Episode #7 Mockingbird. They open the show by jokingly saying that the gravy of the episode was Hot Pie’s cameo. Then they dive into what they feel is the top story of the episode, how Lysa Arryn finally got to fly. Josh gives Rob credit for his foresight regarding Lysa’s death, and even goes as far as to tell him that he is turning into a little Littlefinger.

Lysa Arryn: Out the Moon Door (2:39)

They open the episode by discussing the events at the Vale. The scene begins with Sansa slapping Robin for destroying her snow castle of Winterfell. Littlefinger then comes over to comfort her and ends up kissing her to Sansa’s shock, which is overseen in the background by Lysa Arryn. Lysa then confronts Sansa about this and threatens to push her out the Moon Door. The scene culminates with Littlefinger intervening and calming Lysa down, and he proceeds to tell her that there’s only one woman that’s he’s ever loved, her sister, as he pushes her out the Moon Door. Rob asks Josh if he’ll miss the Lysa era to which Josh says no, that the only part he’ll miss is seeing Robin being breastfed. Rob then questions Josh as to whether this was Littlefinger’s intention all along, for Lysa to catch him kissing Sansa in order to send her into a manic frenzy. After discussing it they don’t feel like it was pre-planned, but that it has more to do with Littlefinger’s feelings and desires for Sansa. They link this to what Varys said in a scene from last week’s episode about desires causing people to have a blindspot. Josh feels the theory about it being pre-planned is a little far-fetched and rather believes that pushing Lysa out the Moon Door was a spur of the moment decision.

Jaime & Tyrion: The Little Monster and The Golden Boy (7:36)

In this scene we find Jaime in Tyrion’s prison cell bewildered by Tyrion’s decision to throw his life away with his outburst during the trial by demanding a trial by combat. Tyrion expects Jaime to be his champion but is disappointed to find out that Jaime’s training with Bronn has not been going as well as expected, and that he cannot fight for him. Rob and Josh talk about how Tyrion was emotionally distraught by Shae’s betrayal and about how Tyrion is sick of playing Tywin’s game. They discuss how every time Tyrion brings up the incest issue, Jaime gets defensive and tells him not to go there. Rob and Josh then refer to the Jaime-Cersei incest as being the worst kept secret in Westeros.

Cersei & The Mountain: My Champion of Gore (9:41)

Next we find Ser Gregor Clegane aka The Mountain as he is executing captives for practice. Cersei approaches him and welcomes him to the capital; he asks her whom he is fighting to which she replies, “Does it matter?” and he says “No.” Rob begins the discussion by saying that he barely even recognizes The Mountain, and Josh mocks the fact that The Mountain has been recast for a 3rd time now. They talk about what appears to be The Mountain’s murder practice and wonder who the people he is killing are. Josh weighs in on Cersei’s question to The Mountain by saying that ...

Josh weighs in on Cersei's question to The Mountain by saying that  he feels that The Mountain is good enough to kill just about anybody, so it doesn't matter whom he is facing.

Bronn & Tyrion: Can You Offer Me Two Wives and Two Castles? (11:52)

In the next scene, we finally see Bronn again who has come to see Tyrion at his request. It is immediately apparent to the viewers and Tyrion that Bronn has been paid off,...
