Sean and Aziz discuss Game of Thrones with no book spoilers in the first episode, then Ash & Aziz are rejoined by Radio Westeros for Season 7! We’ll take some live questions while comparing the books to the show. Even with the show this far past the books, there’s still a lot to say… so much that we added a third livestream: Predictions & Theories, recorded on Saturdays. The YouTube version is longer than the podcast as we have decided to continue taking questions past the podcast portion of the episode.

Game of Thrones Season 7 First Trailer Reveals!

The Game of Thrones season 7 trailer is here – here are some first impressions from Aziz on some of the most telling bits of information.

Dragonstone Gates Open

It appears to be a peaceful submission, the castle taken without a fight. Given her dragons, I’d surrender too.

Dany at Home

Daenerys sits on the high seat at Dragonstone. The men opening the door and guarding her on either side appear to be Dothraki.

Grey Worm is Ready!

Grey Worm is ready! Note his new silver Targaryen badge. It will help us find him amidst the chaos when his facemask is on.

Grey Worm Fights

Case in point re: his new insignia… We can tell this is Grey Worm because of it! This Lannister man he’s facing has no chance, we’re thinking.

Unsullied Storming In!

No Grey Worm here that we can see, but we wonder what Lannister site this is (note the sigils and “L”. It could be King’s Landing, or less likely, Casterly Rock.

Melisandre at Dragonstone!

Melisandre at Dragonstone! The previous shot makes it clear that it’s her. We can’t tell who that is coming up the long walkway, but if Davos is one of them…

Dany & Tyrion view the Painted Table

Dany & Tyrion view the Painted Table at Dragonstone.

The Painted Floor

Cersei and Jaime one-up Daenerys’ puny Painted Table with the Painted Floor. Ok, it’s a tapestry, but still, it’s huge, and awesome.

Jorah's Arm

Jorah appears to be held in prison, probably at Dragonstone. Clearly him due to the greyscale.

New Field of Fire!

Other shots seem to show that they are facing a Lannister army. It doesn’t look like Dany is on Drogon, but it is hard to tell. It looks like Jorah leading the charge in the bottom right… Dany may forgive him? Or at least allow him to fight. Or maybe that isn’t actually him.

Ellaria & Yara

Ellaria and Yara making out. Alrighty.

Ship Ablaze

Greyjoys fighting others in a boarding action while flames roar. What shield is that in the upper right? Another shot shows Theon on a flaming ship, so this could be the same scene, meaning that Theon is somewhere in this chaos.

Bridge at Pyke

Appears to be fighting across a rope bridge, which means it is probably Pyke. A battle at Pyke! Interesting…

Arya Heading North?

Looks like Arya is heading North, unless winter has hit the South (certainly possible!)

King in the North & Council

Jon is joined by Sansa and Davos at the high table. Littlefinger far to the left, Lyanna Mormont near the front behind a large man. Tormund can be seen as well, and probably the top of Brienne’s head in front of Sansa.

Jon Snow & Littlefinger in the Crypts!

Jon Snow slams Littlefinger into a wall while in the Crypts of Winterfell! (recall when Ned did this to him in King’s Landing?) Possibly he’s just been given some news about his real parents.

Jon & Tormund running

Jon, Tormund and others are running from something. They appear to be beyond The Wall.

Surrounded by foes and snow

Possibly related to Jon & Tormund running away, this group of 12-13 men in heavy snow appear to be surrounded and making a stand. Seems likely the foes around them are not among the living…

TV Discussion: Game of Thrones S04E04 (spoiler free)

S04E04

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XuRT6FNGAP0

Another week, another episode of History of Westeros! Actually, another two episodes of History of Westeros, as we have a separate spoiler filled episode this week due to how much we had to talk about! View part 2 here.

Ashaya, Aziz and Sean discuss the exciting events of S04E04 of Game of Thrones.  As always, we illuminate the backstory and explain the subtleties, keeping you prepared for the next episode and beyond!

Sean is an Unsullied TV viewer whose unspoiled perceptions are quite the contrast to HoW’s thorough Game of Thrones education, and this makes the review unique. Sean is an insightful reviewer who first joined us in our Red Wedding discussion episode, and has been our previous three Season 4 episodes: episode 1, episode 2, and episode 3.

I will answer injustice with justice.

 

That was me knocking your ass to the dirt with your own hand.

 

Goodbye Brienne.

Every scene (and there were a lot) of S04E04 is discussed, what we liked and didn’t like, noting interesting but non-spoiler comparisons to the books. As usual there is special attention paid to hidden detail and backstory.

Be sure to check out our forum, which is newly launched, and introduce yourself there, as well as discuss podcast and TV show episodes. Please rate and review us on iTunes as well if you have the chance!

If I have to take one more leisurely stroll through these gardens, I’ll fling myself from the cliffs.

TV Discussion: Game of Thrones S04E01 (spoiler free)

S04E01

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D9o6mrrPvvw

Instead of the usual scripted episode, History of Westeros relaxes a bit to discuss S04E01 of Game of Thrones…but who can relax for season 4 of Game of Thrones?! A solid start to the season with a long and exciting final scene.

We are joined by Unsullied TV viewer Sean Pink, an insightful reviewer who some may remember from our Red Wedding discussion episode. His unspoiled perceptions are quite the contrast to Ashaya and Aziz’s thorough Game of Thrones education, and this makes the review unique.

Timid bores me.

After the credits, we discuss a few spoiler topics, so stick around for that if you have read the books! This includes a short discussion on the recent spoiler chapter from The Winds of Winter, which will be at the very very end.

I’m going to have to eat every fucking chicken in this room.

 

Are you sure we’re not related?

Every scene of S04E01 is discussed, what we liked and didn’t like, noting interesting but non-spoiler comparisons to the books. As usual there is special attention paid to hidden detail and backstory.

Sean is asked to make a few predictions, while the others struggle not to tell him how right or wrong he is!

The HBO show reviews may or may not continue, so please let us know if you’d like to see us continue doing them. Be sure to check out our forum, which is newly launched, and introduce yourself there.
