Winter is Coming (seriously, we’re under a blizzard warning throughout the central US).
With the final season coming out, it seemed the perfect time to tackle the epic series (book and TV).

I scored a whopping: Six.
Most of my answers were things like “That guy who died, that other guy who died,” or “the one who died but is still around.”
Still, lots of fun!
I almost had something like that for an answer. I guess I shouldn’t suppress my smart-ass nature.
I am a big fan of smart-assedness. I do think that making the entire quiz smart-assed would ruin the concept of the podcast, but one solid, funny, smartass comment in with the answers probably wouldn’t hurt.
Maybe for the “Teaser” question in the episode outro.
I’d hide it in random places within the episode along with the serious answer, or in place of it.
Who was King Joffrey’s first execution?
Eddard Stark lost his head over having to agree with the young king.
The most interesting thing about him is that he was 5 foot 6 inches tall at the start of his reign, but only 4 foot 8 inches tall at the end of it.
That joke belongs on the chopping block!
That joke belongs in a Monty Python episode.
I am sure Oliver Cromwell won’t mind me borrowing it.
I laughed.
And now I am ashamed.
This season, we’ll be doing ep-by-ep reviews.
The story thus far: In a well-written, brilliantly-acted, expensively-produced show based on what European history would look like in the imagination of a clever 12-year-old boy, many people and one dragon have died, and an ice-zombie apocalypse looms.
You’re not wrong. Not one iota.
Have you thought of starting a sideline summarising literature for exceptionally lazy students? :)
+1 on the reviews. Looking forwards to seeing how this version of the story pans out (and getting a few gut-punches from the twists and turns along the way).
