I love this series, and I think it's fascinating. This episode in particular gives one a lot of insight into Tywin Lannister and his relationship with his children. And it's good prep for this weekend's season premiere.

I have never watched Game of Thrones but enjoy Dan Carlin's Hardcore history. This Paraody is spot on perfect. The vocal delivery and inflections. The apologies for asides and unclear refrences. The pacing and excitment for the topic are hauntingly acurate. Extremely well done. I loved the first episode and if I watched Game of Thrones the rest of this would be a must. As it is I feel a bit of intellectual guilt enjoying a totally fictious history and will have to listen to some actual history from the original Mr Carlin as penance. If you are not familiar w/ Hardcore History Dan carlin's ten hour + history of Ghengis Kahn and the Mongels is breathtaking.
