In this thirty-eighth episode of Learned Hands, the Official Podcast of the Westerosi Bar Association, Merry & Clint ask: How well does Doran Martell's Water Gardens speech move the ball?
Our analysis this week includes:
- Your Hands finally cover the Dornish plot from the perspective of Prince Doran Martell, as he tries to convince the Sand Snakes to stop saying "OK Boomer" at him.
- Merry puts on her best Valley Girl accent.
- So much food porn.
- We give Ellaria Sand her laurels for delivering one of the most passionate, cogent, and beautiful speeches in the series (that is entirely ignored by everyone who hears it).
- Clint tells everyone what it's like to be an Old Man relating to The Youths.
- We ask which TSwift album represents the Sand Snakes the most? Sound off in the comments.
- No one has any idea what will happen to Doran's plan, other than there will be blood.
- We analyze Doran as the grass that hides the viper, and cover how his disability covers how people perceive him.
- A DEFINITIVE ruling is issued as to who does the Dornish plot better: book or show. Listen to find out which we pick!
