First off, you're welcome Game of Thrones fans. This is a super-sized Pop Rocket loaded with theories, speculation, and yes, even love. While Wynter and Karen were away, Margaret and Guy tapped two die-hard fans for a full-on discussion of the series and their thoughts now that the first two of the last six episodes have aired. Assembled in the studio this week:
Guy "I've read all the George R.R. Martin books in the series" Branum
Sarah "I'm in a viewing group with a gaggle of lesbians and their gaybies" Kessler
Laura "I prepared delicious direwolf-shaped crackers" Krafft
Margaret "I host GoT viewing parties at my house" Wappler
This episode will reveal which Game of Thrones character Guy has dressed up for--TWICE!--for Halloween. Sarah finds one GoT character extremely annoying, and it's not Bran. Laura pines for a Winterfell man she fears will die in the next episode, and Margaret is pretty sure she knows who will take the throne.
This was a raucous, expansive conversation that will both delight and frustrate Game of Thrones fans.
