Episode 10: A GAME OF THRONES, Tyrion I: ”Quality Family Time”

Hello and welcome back to the NotACast, the one true chapter-by-chapter podcast going through A Song of Ice and Fire one chapter a week!

 

Today, Emmett and Jeff are pleased to present you with "Quality Family Time: An Analysis of AGOT, Tyrion I": our first chapter from the POV of Tyrion Lannister!

 

This week, we talk:

 

- A best-of Apple Podcast reviews

- Tyrion as an anachronistic modern POV and our reader sympathies

- Dysfunctional Lannisters

- Detective Tyrion puzzling out Jaime and Cersei's involvement in Bran's fall

- All the foreshadowing of Tyrion vs Sandor vs Joffrey vs Cersei vs Jaime

- More 1993 Letter stuff!

- The Winterfell Library and that book "Engines of War" and how that might play out in TWOW

- Is Jaime's fate spelled out here in Tyrion's first POV chapter

- Why Penny the Dwarf is the mirror GRRM holds up to Tyrion in ADWD and what she means to Tyrion.

 

It's a goshdarn good episode
