In this twenty-fifth episode of Learned Hands, the Official Podcast of the Westerosi Bar Association, Maester Merry, Clint from Laws of Ice and Fire ask: How should Westerosi sovereigns look at treason and how should it be punished?
Our analysis this week includes:
- Happy Valentine's Day, here's an episode about treason
- Discussion of the Dragonseeds, the good (Nettles), the bad (Hugh & Ulf), and the ugly (HOW DARE YOU TURN ON ADDAM, RHAENYRA!!)
- Your Hands cover First Night, breaking guest right, First Tumbelton, and Tumbelton II; Electric Boogaloo.
- We also say non-ironic actual nice things about Stannis Baratheon(!!!)
- Merry tempts fate, Taylor Swift, and Dany stans all in the same episode
- Clint cites the Constitution, the Great Statute of Treasons, and dusts off his terrible Jaime Lannister impression
- RIP Hugh and RIP Ulf, no one liked you
- Everyone shits on Tywin Lannister, who is dead
