Description
The Game Begins: Book 1 vs Season 1 – Part 2 (Anniversary Special)
We’re back with Part 2 of our A Game of Thrones anniversary special — and this time, we’re going full POV mode.
From Ned’s inner monologues and fever dreams (promise me, Ned 😭) to Tyrion’s deleted battle arc (justice for the slap-happy dwarf!), we’re diving into the depth, nuance, and emotional chaos that only the book delivers.
In this episode:
🐺 Stark kids, direwolves, and the ancient magic nobody talks about on HBO
🪦 We descend into the Winterfell crypts, awaken some lore, and maybe a few dead kings too
🧊 Jon faces wights, prophecy birds, and an overwhelming urge to brood
🗡️ The real battles of the Riverlands (with maps, in our minds)
🔥 Dany walks into fire, hatches dragons, and becomes that girl
⚔️ And yes — we’re still mad about Syrio
It’s part lore deep-dive, part emotional damage report — and 100% a love letter to the book that started it all.
🎧 Listen through to the end… there’s a little bard-flavoured chaos on the horizon.
