Episode 200: A Storm Of Swords, Chapter 59 (SANSA)



Margaery Tyrell, by *elia-illustration via deviantART

It's our 200th UNspoiled! episode!!! We would have popped a bottle if we hadn't already done it on a recent episode. It's a little anticlimactic after the New Year, amirite?

Elia hits it out of the park again with this illustration. I love how she manages to make each woman so distinctly different but so beautiful. Margaery looks a lot more Irish than I expected, must be the freckles. (Says the Colombian girl with the freckles.)

So this chapter is rather strange. Sansa is weirdly disconnected from the emotions one would expect from her after finding out her family has been slaughtered. She's watching the sunrise and we know from the previous chapter that Tyrion will just be coming back from his tryst with Shae, a nice tying together of the different POVs.

And then they go into the Groom's breakfast for before the wedding, but Joffrey is Joffrey and makes everything as uncomfortable as possible with his creepy jokes and his stupidity. And there is a strange exchange between him and Tyrion after he chops up the gift Tyrion gave him. Tyrion questions Sansa afterwards and she doesn't know what he's asking about, and neither, apparently, did Brendan. HA!

Enjoy, guys!

  1. Of course I'm still here and listening, I talk about you guys all the time to other fans. I'm just getting sick and tired of putting in the letters and numbers to prove I'm not a computer, I can't ever read them and it takes like 17 refresh hits until I can get one I can read.

    Happy New Years to everyone reading this and to both of you.


    On a side note and since you have brought it up twice now, I wasn't lying about the stuff not coming true. It is just my opinion that some of the stuff isn't going to come true. It will take me all day to get into it on here, and like I said up-top, I may never even get to post this until I find a damn letter/number combo I can read.

    I swear, I'm not a fucking robot. *Slaps Internet*



    One last note while I'm here. This is a spoiler for the third season, but you both already know the context of the spoiler. If you don't what to know anything about the third season, don't read.

  2. Hey guys Congrats on Episode 200!

    Tywin married his cousin. So she was also a Lannister and had a red Lannister cloak. Unclear if he married for love (I think so) or if it was arranged.

    It is a lunar calendar. Moonturns instead of months. Human pregnancy is still 9 moonturns. It is reasonable to suppose that a lunar cycle is something like 29 - 30 days and a year is something like 355 - 360 or so days.

    Bran fought and beat Tommen.
    Robb fought Joffrey. Though they are closeish in age, a 14 year old against an 11 year old really isn't a fair fight.

    I don't think Joffrey really loved Robert but he did crave his attention and is trying to emulate him as a masculine ideal.
    (I am more than a bit of a Robert apologist though objectively he was kinfa a shite human being I still love him irrationally)
