A Game of Thrones - Chapter 1 (Bran I)

A Song of Ice and Fire Symposium

07/08/20 • 41 min

In this episode, Nav and Harmat discuss the first chapter of A Game of Thrones... extensively. There's puppies, there's confusion about Jon Snow, but thankfully, there's no cereal.
Chapter Markers:

00:00:00 Intro
00:02:07 30-Second Summary
00:03:17 Jon Snow Confusion
00:06:53 Chapter Discussion
00:33:25 Predictions
00:36:05 Next Chapter Title
00:38:23 Outro

Harmat's Predictions in this episode:

Mance Rayder is King north of the Wall
Jon is an outcast here because he was born north of the Wall
Something bad is going to happen with the wolves; they’re going to end up attacking someone, either in the family or someone who’s harming the family
OR the wolves are going to stay with the kids throughout the series like Hedwig
Jon vs Robb is going to be a thing. They might duel. There will be conflict.
Someone’s gonna die soon; maybe Lord Stark will die and that will lead to conflict b/w Jon and Robb
Lord Stark will die because Theon Greyjoy will betray him
Catelyn could be one of Bran’s sisters or his mom or someone from another noble family
OR, since this chapter was from the perspective of a noble family, the next one would be the opposite; Catelyn is a little girl north of the Wall

Game of Thrones - Season 1: Episode 4 (Cripples, Bastards and Broken Things) Ft. Emily

A Song of Ice and Fire Symposium

In this episode, we expose all the exposition! A huge thank you to Emily from Game of Groans Pod for joining us!

Notes from editing Nav:

Bran's dream chapter is Chapter 17 of A Game of Thrones and not Chapter 16. I was so close!
Jorah's quote: “The common people pray for rain, healthy children, and a summer that never ends. It is no matter to them if the high lords play their game of thrones, so long as they are left in peace.”
