Episode 85: A CLASH OF KINGS, DAENERYS I: "Follow the Leader" ft. Mighty Isobel

Hello and welcome back 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, the messiah, her miracle babies, and her dwindling entourage wander the desert in pursuit of a star, only to be met by three wise men. Well...not all of them are men, and none of them are wise, but you get the idea. This week, we: -Rank our favorite Star Wars movies (lest we be the only ones not to) -Discuss our...mixed feelings about Dany's prophetic arc in ACOK and her spiritual place in general -Praise how George writes Dany as a young mother, albeit of lizards -Dig into the layers of imagery and metaphor in this chapter's settings, the Red Waste and Vaes Tolorro  -Begrudgingly allow Jorah Mormont to tell his mediocre life story Next week: Pig-faced shit-knight Amory Lorch wipes out the heroic grump Yoren of the Night's Watch, along with most of his ragged fellowship, in ACOK Arya IV! Can't wait until Lorch dies.  Mighty Isobel on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/user/MightyIsobel Mighty Isobel on Twitter: https://twitter.com/mightyisobel Mighty Isobel on Tumblr: https://mightyisobel.tumblr.com/ Our patreon: www.patreon.com/NotACastASOIAF   Our twitter: twitter.com/NotACastASOIAF   Our facebook: www.facebook.com/groups/289889118235797/   Our youtube page: www.youtube.com/channel/UCmmDfPdG…iew_as=subscriber   Emmett's twitter: twitter.com/PoorQuentyn   Jeff's twitter: twitter.com/BryndenBFish
