After the long night, err, wait, we have a great new GoT episode to review! 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…
TV Discussion: Game of Thrones S04E05 (spoiler free)
S04E05
Another week, another episode of History of Westeros!
Ashaya, Aziz and Sean discuss the exciting events of S04E05 of Game of Thrones. As always, we illuminate the backstory and explain the subtleties, keeping you prepared for the next episode and beyond! The end of the episode contains our spoiler discussion, as well as our discussion of the preview.
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, episode 3, episode 4 (spoiler free), and episode 4 (spoilers)

I’m a stupid little girl with stupid dreams who never learns.
The fifth is difficult. I named her after my sister, Elia.
Every scene (and there were a lot) of S04E05 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.

TV Discussion: The Red Wedding (spoiler free)
One of the biggest events in television history deserves an episode of its own. This is our first TV-only episode, and we bring in a TV-only fan, Sean, to give us his thoughts. This was an audio only episode.
