As intimidating as Wight Power can be, it can be burned to the icy ground. Episode 6 of our Game of Thrones podcast has Laura Hudson (Twitter: @laura_hudson) and Spencer Ackerman (Twitter: @attackerman) watching dragons become loose nukes and questioning whether Tyrion has gotten anything right since season 2. Also: a theory about Bran and the Night King that might be even stupider than Tyrion's schemes. Recorded August 20, 2017. Edited by Jesse Rhodes.
Episode 5 of our Game of Thrones podcast sees Laura Hudson (Twitter: @laura_hudson) and Spencer Ackerman (Twitter: @attackerman) soaking in the testosterone of an episode about daddy issues, hanging with your best buds and hatching schemes that squander all your battlefield gains.

arya's encounter with her direwolf echoed her conversation with need about growing up to be a Lady. Littlefinger was credible because of his hubris. no explanation for Tyrion's stupidity. low expectations for the final episodes. anxiously waiting for the books.

according to the producers, arya's meeting up with her direwolf allowed her to repeat what she told her father when he told her that she would be a Lady when she grew up. I found the downfall of Littlefinger credible. he was blinded by hubris. you are right about Tyrion. how did he get so stupid? my expectations are low for the final episodes. I await the last two books.
