Ep.30: Game of Thrones - 802 - A Knight of The Seven Kingdoms

04/23/19 • 48 min

"A Knight of The Seven Kingdoms," Game of Thrones' second episode of Season 8, mastered the herculean feat of bringing all our favorite characters together inside Winterfell's walls and reminding us how much we have invested in the battle to come.

Along the way, Episode 2 gave us laughs, heartfelt moments, and one particularly steamy scene. This intersection of all the lives still living beautifully illustrated just who our on-screen friends had become over 8 seasons. Sansa Stark went from princess to prime minister. Jon Snow from bastard to badass. Arya from tomboy to terror. Daenerys from property to powerhouse.

We'll take a Deep Dive into Podrick's song, "Jenny of Oldstones," and what it says about Jon's and Daenerys' Targaryen romance. This tragic ballad has rich roots, and Big D is following them far into the past.

Big D also uses his expert eyesight and keen military awareness (plus just reading the script) to answer a terrifying question: Just how many White Walkers are there?

Spoiler alert: way too many.

Plus, catch a lightning round of Time to Guess, where we roll the dice and try to predict what Episode 3 will reveal.

Ep.29: Game of Thrones - 802 - Instacast

Two episodes and no major battles? No major deaths? It's true, and it's glorious. "Game of Thrones" is playing the long game on a short season, showing that HBO has grown and evolved to always show the audience something better than they knew they wanted.

Season 8 Episode 2 made us throw away our notebooks and just feel along with these characters, reminding us of how much we've grown to love them over the years and how much their wholesale deaths are going to hurt.

But it wasn't all gloom and doom. Arya's secret weapon was revealed. And then ARYA was revealed, leaving us all feeling a little bit like we just watching our niece disrobe.

Ghost showed up. Jon revealed his true name to Dany, and the Night King was conspicuously absent to his own party. Plus we saw the abbreviated trial of Jaime Lannister, the knighting of Brienne, and discovered why they call Tormound "Giantsbane."

"A Knight of The Seven Kingdoms" touched our hearts and inspired listener mail about Winterfell's crypts, Daenerys' ability to lead, "Jenny of Oldstones" lyrics, Cersei's pregnancy, Brienne's knighting, and Bran's greensight.

But mostly, y'all just wanted to talk about Arya's sex scene.

This expanded edition of the Small Council listener mail pod packs more than double the email and voicemail we received after Game of Thrones' Season 8 debut. Plus, you might even hear the voice of the Night King for the first time.

Listener mail also covers Arya's weapon, Sansa's wisdom, HBO's reluctance to kill major characters, and a pronunciation lesson from Gene Lyons and the late Roy Dotrice.
