Sit back and relax, because for Game of Thrones S2Ep9 "Blackwater", we knocked and loosed a barrage of flaming analysis at you in the form of a monster episode that will engulf a staggering portion of your fleet, ahem... day in burning Wildfire! This 61st episode of Game of Microphones, in our Series Rewatch, is the longest episode yet of our podcast. Obscenely long and chock full of fun at 3hr:36min:52sec, this is a thorough dissection of the Battle of Blackwater Bay and all the intrigue that occurs surrounding it. A pivotal episode for the trajectory of the show and a number of our major characters who are irreversibly changes as a result of this night, we discuss why this particular event is so impactful for so many of our favorite characters, the various story parallels occurring between different figures in the tale, taking account of the various instances of bravery, cowardice, humor, triumph, forgiveness, sacrifice, grief, horror, and suspense. This penultimate episode of Season 2 is a deserved fan favorite and we think you'll enjoy our interpretations of the events within!
