Take the Black Podcast—Episode 603—”Oathbreaker”

Welcome, my Lords and Ladies, to another fun and fantastical ride on the crazy train that is Take the Black, WiC’s Game of Thrones podcast. This week, Isis, Ani, Bandit, and myself tackle Episode 603, “Oathbreaker.” Sadly, Cory could not join us, as he was traveling, and he was sorely missed, but that’s okay, because Bandit made up for his absence with not one, not two, not three, but six pop culture references.

This week’s topics included:

• Jon’s naked booty, which gave Isis metaphorical blue balls.
• Is there a double standard on Game of Thrones in regards to female and male nudity?
• Were the scenes in Meereen boring filler?
• Is Dany in trouble?
• Is Qyburn setting up his Qybirds for a big scene from A Dance with Dragons?
• Does Maester Pycelle need Beano?
• Is Arya’s story linked with Walder Frey’s in some way?
• Just how much is going to be handed to Ramsay on a silver platter?
• Before he handed Rickon and Osha and Shaggydog’s head over, how cool was the new Umber?
• RIP Alliser Thorne, you’ll be the only traitor missed.
• LOL Olly.

Our merry band of hooligans break all this and more down on this week’s episode of Take the Black. As usual, Take the Black leans a tad bit on the NSFW side (beware the F-bombs). And as always, we try to keep things as spoiler-free and Unsullied-friendly as possible (Isis and Cory haven’t read the books). (Editor’s note: There are spoilers in this one. Let the wary beware.) At this point in the Game of Thrones story, book-readers and show-watchers are all basically in the same boat.

Welcome to our new platform: the FanSided Brightcove player. The podcast will start after a brief word from our sponsors! We hope you enjoy, and as always, we welcome your feedback in the comments section. Valar Morghulis, ya’ll.
