Take the Black Podcast: “What If?”—The Battle of Castle Black

facebooktwitterreddit

UPDATE: The audio on this week’s episode of Take the Black Podcast has now been corrected. It’s not his fault at all but we still blame Corey Smith. Thank you for your patience.

Welcome to another wonderfully exciting episode of Take the Black Podcast with House Razor, the infected hangnail on Take the Black with House Selcke’s perfectly manicured hands. On this week’s episode, we briefly talk about the Emmy wins for Game of Thrones season 7 before getting into a major potential SPOILER.

Then it’s all about “The Watchers on the Wall” and the Battle of Castle Black. We look at this classic episode from every angle:

  • Who or what was the catalyst for the battle?
  • What was Jon’s biggest moment?
  • Which characters who died do we miss most, and who had the more epic death: Grenn or Pyp?
  • What would have happened if Olly hadn’t killed Ygritte? Would Jon have allowed her to escape? And if so, would he have been more open to taking Stannis’ offer of legitimization and help retake Winterfell? And if Jon Snow became Jon Stark, what then?

Don’t forget: the Take the Black Podcast is now on iTunes, and Google Play! Please subscribe and download from there if you can. Also, you can help us out by giving us a five-star rating and leaving a friendly comment! We’re also now on Spreaker, so try us there, as well.

As usual, Take the Black leans heavily on the NSFW side of things, so please beware falling F-bombs. And we talk about a potential season 8 spoiler this week, so watch out!
