An LG&M podcast: “Lord Snow,” or “He may as well have been the air of Winterfell”
Steven Attewell and I decided that we didn’t want to wait until next February to continue talking about Game of Thrones, and so we decided to start over. Here’s our take on “Lord Snow,” the series’ third episode. And before you ask: yes, the podcast did explode before we had a chance to finish it. We’ll cover the four minutes we lost in two weeks, after I’ve moved and settled in. Which also means, obviously, that there won’t be a podcast next week, as I’ll be moving and settling in. Try not to miss me too much.

Works Attewell discusses (warning, all of these posts contain spoilers for all five books):
- Daenerys III (on assimilation and how Viserys fails to use its power)
- Bran IV (old Nan’s stories and the meta-history of Westeros)
- Eddard IV (Eddard’s first Small Council meeting, first assessment of his political skills, and the Littlefinger embezzlement question)
- Catelyn IV (the knife, Littlefinger the gambler, his historical counterpart, and how he contrasts with Varys)
- Jon III (the Watch as an institution in decline, Jon Snow getting over his privilege)
- Arya II (Arya as a deconstruction of the fantasy heroic protagonist, Syrio Forel and famous swordswomen)
