Ellaria Sand Is Not a Sand Snake
Hi Guys,
I started listening during American Gods so I’m relatively new to the podcast, but enjoyed the extra coverage. This is my first time writing in.
That being said, I have a lot of problems with your GoT cast and I’m debating on if I can keep listening. First of all, pronunciation, especially by Big D is terrible. Amongst the offenders were (in parenthesis are the correction): Gendry (hard G), Sansa (without the midwest A), Walden Frey (no T), and Wildlings (there are two Ls in this word!!!). Seriously though, wildings was really making me mad.
Other mistakes for naming: Ellaria Sand is not a sand snake, sand snakes are the daughters of Oberyn, Ellaria was his lover. Also it’s Sir Robert Strong, not Sir Robert THE Strong. I know this is nitpicky, I could forgive a few mistakes. By so many are really bothering me.
Outside of that, read reddit. They have a lot of great information that you are missing in your deep dives. For one, East Watch by the sea actually doesn’t have any mountains near it. The Shadow Tower, on the west side of the wall does. So it actually appears the walkers are headed there not Eastwatch. Also you talked about brother sister duos in power, and mentioned the potential for Dany and Jon to be one. Dany is Jon’s aunt, not his sister.
Also no mention of the fact that Sam already knew about the dragon glass from Stannis before was interesting. Lastly, I’m surprised you weren’t super into talking about the poop montage, as you are shat on TV.
Anyway I’ll give you guys a couple more chances but really you need to do more research than rewatching. Also check the pronunciations, there were more you got wrong, but these were the ones I can remember.
