In this thirtieth episode of Learned Hands, the Official Podcast of the Westerosi Bar Association, Merry & Clint ask: How well did Larys Strong, Cregan Stark, and Other Dancers do Machiavelli?
Our analysis this week includes:
- Sexy Sexy Sexiness from Cregan Stark and Black Aly.
- Let's talk about Prince! Not the purple one. Or the little one. The one you read in freshman year Poli Sci.
- Clint gets all "you really have to look at the context before passing judgment" about Niccolò Machiavelli of all fucking people.
- Merry brings in the not-necessarily-Marxist reading, as per usual.
- We play the Realm's favorite game: Machiavelli or A Song of Ice And Fire? YOU CHOOSE.
- The Hands pass judgment on Larys Strong, Cregan Stark, Corlys Velaryon, and others.
- Everyone likes the counter-counter-coup against the Greens and Aegon II, who is kind of a dumbass and had to go.
- No one likes the democrats, who are also dumbasses.
- For some reason we make a bunch of pornhub jokes.
- We discuss how Nicky Macs feels about lying and killing (SPOILER: they're good!)
- It's the Hour of the Danged Wolf! There are trials! GET FUCKING HYPE.
Supplemental reading:
- How to find and donate to your local abortion funds
- A searchable copy of The Prince
