This week on Game of Microphones’ Series Rewatch Duncan and Rima cover Game of Thrones Season 1 Episode 7. In this pivotal episode, everything changes as King Robert dies and we see the game really kick off as many players step into the fray to attempt to seize power. Dany survives an assassination attempt, Jon is assigned to be Lord Commander Mormont’s steward, and we discuss the significance of all of the above. We analyze Ned’s inability to think like a criminal, and theorize about changes in tactics he could have made that would have ensured his survival and maintained his honor. We meet Tywin and analyze our first impression of his imposing character, and see Dany in Love as Khal Drogo promises their son the Iron throne that his grandfather sat upon.
