Take the Black Podcast—Episode 604—”Book of the Stranger”
Welcome back, you bunch of crazies, to another week of Take the Black, WiC’s Game of Thrones podcast.
On this week’s Take the Black, we discuss all the fun topics brought up by Game of Thrones Episode 604, “Book of the Stranger,” including:
- The long-awaited Stark family reunion.
- The Bear and the Maiden Fair…but which one is Brienne and which one is Tormund?
- Sweetrobin Arryn is still a huge p**sy, and you just know there’s a wet nurse in the Vale still giving him the teat on the reg.
- Littlefinger is still a master manipulator, but he seems to be playing the game a little more loosely these days.
- Theon is home, and would fit quite nicely into his new role as Hand of the Queen.
- Tyrion is proving why he is fit for rule Meereen. Also, can we get him a Rosetta Stone for Valyrian?
- #RIPTonks (Osha). That death was kinda mailed in.
- What is Cersei’s grand plan with the Faith and the Tyrells?
- Tommen still sucks. #Sorrynotsorry
- Is Margaery actually manipulating the High Sparrow?
- Back at the Wall, the Pink Letter moment was awesome…
- …and damn, Tormund is really eye-f**king Brienne, much to Edd’s great discomfort.
- Jorah the Explorah and Daario talk about riding the dragon…
- Dany makes a new friend, we name her Khalessi.
- Dany finally backed up all that smack talk, and Khal Moro won’t be making any more listicles.
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), but this week we really drop the mother load. And though we usually try and keep things as Unsullied-friendly as possible (Isis and Cory haven’t read the books), this week we dig rather heavily into some SPOILERS, so please beware.
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.
