A.Ron.Hubbard — Wed, 15 May 2013 03:35:41 +0000

The seventh episode of this third season was written by G.R.R. Martin and directed by Breaking Bad all-star Michelle MacLaren, how could it possibly be anything other than stellar? Well… listen and find out. We discuss Jon and Ygritte’s sudden chemistry, Tywin’s epic “counseling” of Joffery, Sansa being a stupid, stupid girl with stupid dreams who never learns, Arya’s going goth, and our increasing restlessness with Theon and Shae. All this, your feedback, and our patented spoiler section, safely contained beyond an impenetrable wall of music. Beware, I’m a bit more spoilery in the spoiler section than usual, so stay out unless you want to be more spoiled than mayonnaise left out in the hot summer sun.
