Episode 170: A STORM OF SWORDS, JAIME III: ”Shall We Dance”

Hello and welcome to the NotACast, the one true chapter-by-chapter podcast going through A Song of Ice and Fire one chapter a week! In this episode, Jaime grabs a sword and gets his butt kicked by Brienne before the Bloody Mummers show up to make everything worse. This week, we: - Arrive at Maidenpool to find the town sacked and the castle locked - Wave farewell to Cleos Frey, who dies as he lived: without dignity - Break down how Jaime's certainties falter throughout his duel with Brienne - Trace the shifting dynamics as Jaime fails to take control of the Mummers - Reframe the Jaime-Brienne duel as it actually is: as a sex scene Next week: Arya rides across the countryside with the Merry Men in pursuit of Robin Hood in ASOS, Arya IV!
