A Music of Dan and Josh: Eddard XV and Catelyn IX

We’re back with more A Song of Dan and Josh, the show where myself and FanSided editor Josh Hill talk through each and every chapter of George R.R. Martin’s A Track of Ice and Fire. This week, we’re breaking down Eddard XV and Catelyn IX, a couple of chapters from A Game of Thrones, the first book in the series. Let the dialogue and debate begin!  black panther cosplay costume

We’re back with an increase of A Music of Dan and Josh, the display where myself and FanSided editor Josh Hill speak through every single chapter of George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire. This week, we’re wearing down Eddard XV and Catelyn IX, a set of chapters from A CASINO GAME of Thrones, the 1st book in the series. Allow debate and debate begin!

What topics do we explore? I’m happy you asked.

This is the final Eddard chapter ever! Would first-time readers have got picked that up?
Martin shows his grasp of irony here. Varys offers Ned a choice: hold to the truth and surely end up being killed, or lie in an attempt to save his own lifestyle and, more importantly, the life of his daughter Sansa. Ned finally compromises his principals in front of the Sept of Baelor…and it doesn’t matter, because Joffrey executes him in any case.
Varys promises to Ned that he serves the realm, “and the realm needs peace.” Is that truly what Varys believes? We try to untangle his motives?
The Catelyn chapter introduces us to Walder Frey, who is delightfully depraved. Martin smothers him in personality. Although at this stage, neither of us can read about him without picturing David Bradley; kudos, sir. once upon a time cosplay costumes
Longtime viewer Julie Davies sent in a terrific comment criticizing Catelyn’s behavior in this chapter, and in general. We talk through it. Did Catelyn make a bad deal with Walder Frey on Robb’s behalf? What about her lifelong hatred of Jon Snow? Catelyn’s on trial today!
Somehow, Walder Frey inspires a discussion of whether A Track of Ice and Fire is “timeless.” What do you think? sleeping beauty prince costume
