A Song of Dan and Josh: Arya II (A Clash of Kings)

Welcome to A Song of Dan and Josh, the show where myself and FanSided’s own Josh Hill go through each and ever chapter of George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire series, celebrating what makes them wonderful and wondering at makes them celebrated.

Today we’re discussing the second Arya chapter from A Clash of Kings. Let’s get into it:

The takes were hot for this one. Here’s a rundown of some of our topics:

• As a preliminary matter, that’s a picture of Amory Lorch at the top of the post. Hi, Amory.
• Arya sees a stream of humanity emptying out of the Riverlands on its way to King’s Landing. Why are they headed there? The resulting, fairly heated discussion may surprise you.
• What makes Gendry stand out as a character?
• There’s an intriguing mix of tender and callous in this chapter, both in Arya’s behavior and the behavior of everyone else in the group traveling north to the Wall.
• It’s possible we get a little off topic and start discussing tyranny and immigration. Thoughts?

This chapter is still mostly setup, but it’s rich, meaty stuff.
