The mother of dragons squares off against/pairs up with
the mother of direwolves in our new episode — the third installment in
our irregularly scheduled series on the prominent female characters of A
Song of Ice and Fire. Cat and Dany are interesting to talk about in
tandem because more, perhaps, than any other characters, they draw
strength from traditional female roles while in the process of
subverting or expanding them. From their shared embrace of the mantle of
motherhood to their shared perceived missteps with dashing, arrogant
swordsmen to their divergent fortunes on the books’ TV adaptation, we
tackle as much as we can about these pivotal characters.
And hey, if you like listening to us yak about A Song of
Ice and Fire, and I should certainly hope you do if you’re reading this,
please give a listen to our guest stint on the most recent episode of A Podcast of Ice and Fire.
Sean and I join regular hosts Amin, Ashley, and Kyle — plus
unexpected guests Elio & Linda from Westeros.org — to play fast and
loose with the most important questions you can ask about any fictional
characters: who’d beat whom in a fight, and whom you’d most like to have
sex with. Consider it BLAH 17.5!
A good episode, but you're wrong about how Catelyn reacts to Tyrion's revelation on the High Road. She's just been told that Littlefinger lied to her AND EDDARD about the Lannister threat, and she doesn't inform her husband about this incredibly important information - because she doesn't really believe him.
