Take the Black Podcast: We discuss “The Spoils of War”

Welcome to another episode of Take the Black, Winter is Coming’s Game of Thrones podcast. This week, we spend nearly two hours discussing Episode 704, “The Spoils of War,” an episode we all rather enjoyed.

Our topics incluse:

  • Jaime continuing to call Dickon Rickon, and the superb dialogue between Jaime and Bronn.
  • Bran blowing up Littlefinger’s game. Also, we put Bran’s above-in-all attitude in context.
  • David Harris presents: A peaen to Ramin Djawadi.
  • Another Heartwarming Stark Reunion.
  • We loved absolutely everything about Arya and Brienne’s duel.
  • Jon and Dany’s chemistry in the cave beneath Dragonstone.
  • Can Tyrion redeem himself in the eyes of his queen?
  • Is Daenerys on track to become the Mad Queen?
  • Davos hitting on Missandei.
  • We thoroughly break down the climactic battle between Dany’s forces and the Lannister army.

As usual, Take the Black leans heavily on the NSFW side (beware of F-bombs). You’ve been warned.
