TCBtW #14 - The Wars to Come Review

After a ten month hiatus, HBO's hit series Game of Thrones has finally returned and it seems the land of Westeros is starting to look like a very different place.  No matter the difference in power players, The Cast Beyond the Wall has returned to talk the biggest twists from the latest episode. In this week's discussion we recap the somewhat polarizing season 5 premiere featuring a totally broken Tyrion Lannister and the recently mentorless Daenerys Targaryen.

To kick off the season, we talk about the first flashback in Game of Thrones history and what it could means for Cersei's seemingly bleak future as Queen of Westeros. We try to decide the nature of the prophecy at hand and whether or not Margery is really the queen predicted to bring the Lannisters down.

In The Wars to Come, Varys reveals his true allegiance and makes a proposition to Tyrion that could change the outcome of the entire show. I talk details with Daniel and Austin before begging the question of whether or not it really changes the game. With Tyrion being pointed to Daenerys, are we in for the show's most powerful team up yet? In the north, Jon is forced by Stannis to win the loyalty of Mance Rayder and his wildling armies to his cause. We lay out Mance's dilemma and talk the future implications of Jon's actions.

The Wars to Come may be a slow burn set up episode, but there's no shortage of things to discuss on this week's episode of The Cast Beyond the Wall.
