In Sean’s second consecutive month with a leave of abscence, Stefan
is joined by Jim McGeehin, who writes the famous tumblr “Wars and
Politics of Ice and Fire” and goes by the handle of “Something like a
lawyer”. While his lawyering status may be somewhat in doubt, his
command of the material is not.
Jim’s command of military and
political matters is almost without equal in the fandom, and while he
is too modest to accept the monicker of “expert” that Stefan tried to
bestow on him, that’s really what he is. So it would be malpractice not
to put his expertise to the test!
What we talk about in this
episode are the upcoming Battles of Ice and Fire, referring to Stannis’
fight against Freys and Boltons and Barristan’s fight against the
Yunkish in the expected opening of “The Winds of Winter”, when it
finally arrives. We talk military strategy as well as political
strategy, being aware that in a feudal society, no one can seperate
both. We also venture into the literary qualities and discuss some more
elaborate fan theories.
