Listener Owns
As always, thank you for listening and participating in this adventure. It’s almost here, everyone!
Awesome to have Terri as a guest! Really looking forward to listening to this one.
I was refreshing my podcast app thinking I hope there is a new Game of Owns episode and there it appeared!
I’m so excited for the premiere so it was great listening to this episode of excitement.

For those interested, the Westeros.org early impressions. Still major downers on a lot of things but overall far less negative than one might have feared.
Can Terri Swartz be the new Kate (sadly absent Kate’s maniacal laugh though)?
Make Terri a regular!!
What/who is that attacking the Hound? I don’t recall that scene!
Wimsey,
Biter biting the hound in the neck right after the hound gives the dying guy the gift of mercy.
Pete.,
Biter was back on the show? I remember the Hound getting attacked at that point: I guess that I didn’t recognize who was attacking him. I remember that Clegane has a neck wound that was troubling him later in the season, but I forgot that it was from a bite. (I rewatched Season 4 only once, so I don’t recall a lot of small details.)
A predictably dour and suspicous read – suspicous that the showrunners are changing things because they secretly think they’re better than GRRM. It’s one long fidelity study, as always.
Wimsey,
It wasn’t really a small detail. There was a whole scene about it, since Arya asks Rorge his name so that he can be added to her list, and she kills him immediately. Or you remember Rorge but not Bitter? It’s the same scene.
