  • Episode 133: Driftmark

    07/10/2022 Duración: 02h11min

    The funeral of Laena Velaryon has brought the whole cast of characters to Driftmark, and we follow them there in Episode 133 of the Davos’ Fingers podcast, also called:  Driftmark.  It is an awkward affair that sparks a romance and wedding, a dragon claimed, Velaryon discord, and family infighting that will ring throughout Westeros for years to come.  Viserys struggles to keep it all together while Rhaenyra and Alicent tear at the seams for power and control. Each Friday morning, Davos’ Fingers will release a new episode to cover the happenings of the previous week’s House of the Dragon episode.  We will cover each and every scene in spoiler-free detail and also look forward toward what we think is coming in the upcoming episode in our segment called Dragons After Dark.  Using Fire and Blood and our own instincts as our guide, the Dragons After Dark segment will forecast what the wise Fingers believe is coming next.

  • Episode 132: The Princess and the Queen

    30/09/2022 Duración: 02h30min

    Episode 132 of the Davos’ Fingers Podcast covers the sixth episode of House of the Dragon:  The Princess and the Queen.  Let’s do the time warp again, because in this episode we skip ahead around 10 years to find Alicent and Rhaenyra with 3 children each, Daemon with a new wife and two twin girls of his own, and Viserys with a seemingly tentative grip on control of the realm and life itself.  Rhaenyra, feeling her own hold on the throne slipping away, proposes a marriage to unite the two factions of House Targaryen, an offer coldly received. Davos’ Fingers will release our weekly House of the Dragon coverage each Friday morning to cover the happenings of the previous week and to look forward toward what we think is coming in the upcoming episode.  Using Fire and Blood and our own instincts as our guide the Dragons After Dark segment will be full of spoilers as we try to forecast how the sands of the hourglass will fall.

  • Episode 131: We Light the Way

    23/09/2022 Duración: 02h21min

    The Fingers of Davos continue their coverage of House of the Dragon in Episode 131.  With the question of succession (still) looming large, Viserys makes a wedding pact that he hopes will stabilize the kingdom and ensure Rhaenyra’s path to rule.  Rhaenyra and her new betrothed, Laenor Velaryon make their own plans for happiness, while Alicent, Daemon, and Ser Criston Cole all adjust their behavior and loyalties in response to the union, and to the shifting balance of power.  Lastly, the Strongs assert themselves as players in the game as well, showing support for Viserys, but also a penchant for sewing some chaos of their own. Join Davos’ Fingers weekly for House of the Dragon Coverage!  We will release each Friday morning to cover what went down in the previous week’s episode, but also to look ahead to the next episode.  Our special Dragons after Dark segment will offer a spoiler-filled look at what we think is coming next based on direction of the show and our deep dives into Fire and Blood.  This content c

  • Episode 130: King of the Narrow Sea

    16/09/2022 Duración: 02h23s

    Episode 130:  King of the Narrow Sea features a family reunited as Daemon returns for his years long exile and war in the Stepstones and Rhaenyra gives up on the processional to find a consort.  But Daemon’s return lights a spark in Rhaenyra at exactly the right (or wrong?) moment, interrupting her thoughts which are fixated on a life lived in the gilded cage of marriage into which she is being forced.  Passion, duty, power dynamics, and manipulation abound in this episode filled with outstanding performances and deft direction. House of the Dragon is with us every week, so we will join you every week!  Davos’ Fingers will release every Friday morning with a recap of the previous episode and a special Dragons after Dark segment to tease the upcoming episode and make some predictions about what is to come!  This content can also be found on the Davos’ Fingers Youtube channel!

    In Episode 127, Matt and Scad take a leap into the HBO series The House of the Dragon, covering its first episode:  The Heirs of the Dragon.   With Jaehaerys’ rule coming to an end, and the succession unclear, the assembled Lords of Westeros choose Viserys I to rule the 7 Kingdoms.  But it isn’t long before Viserys has his own succession problems as he struggles to produce a male heir.  With a child on the way for Queen Aemma though, hope springs and King’s Landing holds a tourney to celebrate. But things do not go as planned, and Viserys is left with an unruly council, a brutal brother, and a dutiful but overlooked daughter to contend with as the succession looms again. This is the first in what will be weekly episodes covering the new HBO series, The House of the Dragon.  So it will be a busy few months for the Fingers.  Check back here each Friday for a recap of the previous week and to get excited for the upcoming episode as well.  This content can also be found on the Davos’ Fingers Youtube channel in vi

  • Episode 126: Whispering Lullabies featuring Zander

    22/08/2022 Duración: 02h27min

    In the final installment of Meet the Khalasar, the Fingers of Davos are joined by the zen-like Zander as we dive into Jaime’s penultimate chapter in asoiaf, Jaime VII of A Feast for Crows.  In it, we find a Jaime busy with wrapping up the final business odds and ends for the Wot5K in the Riverlands.  We see an effective Jaime, a productive Jaime.  But we also see a frustrated man dealing with the escape of a slippery Blackfish and grappling with what his role will be like when he does return to King’s Landing; his sister having created an entirely different mess that will need his attention, if she’s still alive that is.   Zander on the other hand creates no mess.  It was a delight to get to know Zander a lot better.  He has been with us since the beginning, but mostly keeping to the shadows, and it was nice to shine a light on this kind, generous, and thoughtful friend.  We can’t wait for everyone to hear his asoiaf story and some of his personal tales.   Next up for the Fingers?  Oh, just a little D.  HotD,

  • Episode 125: Poor Pyat Pree featuring Anne

    18/07/2022 Duración: 03h05min

    This installment of Davos' Fingers features one of our longest tenured friends, Anne, or sweetyft as you might know her.  It also features a pretty ancient chapter as well, reaching way back to Dany IV of A Clash of Kings, sometimes just referred to as the House of the Undying chapter.  Dany dives headfirst into a magical maze of mages, culminating in a face off with the Undying themselves.  With questionable but intriguing visions along the way, what is real, what is just drug-induced, and how much does it matter when Dany can't make sense of any of it when she gets out? Regardless of what Dany can make sense of, we can all make sense of Anne's quality takes.  We talk Ice and Fire Con, D&D and many other things as we all get to know Anne a little better.  Please go chat with her, she is a pulls-no-punches delight. Up Next for the Fingers is one more meet the Khalasar episode followed by a bit of a change of direction, so LOOK OUT! Come join the dialogue with us at our various online haunts!  You can find

  • Episode 124: Tales of the Nightfort with K2

    20/06/2022 Duración: 02h43min

    The magical energy of K2 joins forces with Matt and Scad for Episode 124 wherein we talk about Bran and the scooby doo gang's visit to the legendary Nightfort!  Jojen told them to come to this specific castle on the Wall, but the way is sealed, and now they are stuck here with a billion things that go bump in the night...including a big one that seems to be climbing the well where they are sleeping... Don't sleep on K2 though!  As always, she brings her friendly demeanor and positive  energy to this episode and getting to know this master cake artist was the true highlight of the Episode.  Give it a listen, then go find K2 on twitter, because she is a riot! We recently released our Films Get Fingered Episode on Patreon, so go check that out.  We had a blast fingering Rogue One:  A Star Wars Story with several Bloodriders.  More content on the way there as well as another Meet the Khalasar Episode to follow in July!

  • Episode 123: No One Had No Tears featuring Julie

    30/05/2022 Duración: 02h54min

    In Episode 123, Bloodrider Julie adds her voice to Davos’ Fingers to dissect Arya’s time at the House of Black and White as The Blind Girl.  It’s a sensual delight of a chapter as we learn to see Arya’s world through her ears, nose, and mouth.  She goes about her daily chores, learns how to live (and fight) without her sight, and learns the secrets of Braavos as Beth the Blind Girl. But it's Arya’s progress as a skinchanger that makes this chapter really sing. And Beth makes us sing as well.  With her positive outlook and energy, her passion for all sorts of music and her deep love of the fandom, Juliebeth is a bright light on the episode, and getting to know this longtime Bloodrider better was a real treat. Over on Patreon we will be having a live Hangout to discuss Rogue One:  A Star Wars Story in June, with more Wheel of Time (TV show) coverage and special episodes coming along as well.  So check us out there at patreon.com/davosfingers. We love A Song of Ice and Fire, and we love it when we hear from othe

    14/03/2022 Duración: 03h21min

    Stef joins the fingers for Episode 122 and it is a riot.  Making our way to Arya for the first time in our Meet The Khalasar cycle is a treat with Stef along for the ride.  In this episode Arya is stuck as cup-bearer to Roose Bolton and a LOT is weighing on her young mind.  Should see stick it out here with an impending regime change, or strike out on her own against a sea of troubles.  Neither it turns out, as she still has some friends left, friends who join her.   Arya is in a tight spot in this chapter, but Stef brings her humor and diverse experiences to the table to help us uncover the gems inside this chapter.  And as usual, simply getting to know a new friend is the best part of the Meet The Khalasar process.  Come meet StefLyoness if you haven't already! We are in the thick of A Song of Madness 2022 and as such. we are just taking a couple weeks off of the normal episodes as it wades into the heavy portion.  But we will be back shortly with more episodes for you!   George has written five fantasti

    21/02/2022 Duración: 02h43min

    The Fingers of Davos are joined by Litbringer Mandy for a burnin down the house Episode 121, literally.  Cersei III of AFFC features a Cersei struggling to maintain her grip on power and on her sanity and on her sense of self, all culminating in setting a mighty blaze to the Tower of the Hand.  A month or two removed from her eldest son's death at the Purple Wedding, Cersei is now confronted with marrying off her second son to the same woman, Margaery Tyrell.  Still in mourning and seeing threats in every shadow, this truly turns into Cersei's no good, very bad day.  But a resolved Cersei sets the Tower of the Hand on fire using the alchemist substance, wildfire, and burning away her fear and paranoia, filling her with a sense of resolve, and flushing out any rats that may still be hiding inside its many hidden pathways. But it wasn't a no good, very bad day for Matt and Scad because they get to know Mandy a bit better.  A positive force and the creative energy behind the Litbringers, Mandy gives us insight

  • Episode 120: Bewitched featuring Bloodrider Gene

    31/01/2022 Duración: 02h53min

    In Episode 120 Matt and Scad are joined by Bloodrider Gene to talk Sans…er…Alayne 1 of A Feast for Crows.  In this chapter, found smack dab in the middle of AFFC, we find Alayne also in the middle of a pretty drastic personal journey.  She is doing her level best to please her new “dad”, keep young Robert mollified, and prepare the Eyrie for the Lords Declarant all while maintaining her grip on her sense of self.  These Lords have been making life a bit difficult for Petyr, blocking supplies from reaching them on the mountain, and insisting that Robert and the Vale be returned to friends. Gene doesn’t make life difficult for the Fingers though.  Instead, he is a delight and learning more about him was the best part of our chat.  Settle in as Gene provides some moving personal stories and gives us some info about how he found the fandom. This is our first episode of 2022, but we will be back with more Meet the Khalasar next month.  On Patreon we have kicked back into gear with Grant Piercy’s I Am Mercury ser

  • Episode 119: Euron Undressed featuring Jon

    20/12/2021 Duración: 03h22min

    In Episode 119, Bloodrider Jon joins Matt and Scad to talk about everyone’s favorite bludgeoning instrument of death, Victarion Greyjoy, in the second of his POV chapters of A Feast for Crows:  The Reaver.  It’s a chapter of three parts including a raging sea battle, roiling self-reflection and introspection, and a celebration feast.  But no celebration feast is complete without an overt challenge to authority, at least not when the Ironborn do it, and Euron’s plan for the Ironborn’s immediate future is given a harsh rebuke by Rodrik The Reader. As usual though, the best part of this episode is diving deeper into the folds of our guest (eww).  Jon doesn’t disappoint as we talk hockey, cheese fries, and all things nerd.  So sit back and enjoy Khalasar. We will be taking a short break for the Holidays but will be back in mid-January with more Meet the Khalasar episodes and, for patrons, furthering our coverage of the I Am Mercury series by Grant Piercy.  So check back here in a month for more fun conversation

  • Episode 118: Sphinxes, Dragons, and Darker Things featuring Lo

    29/11/2021 Duración: 03h08min

    In Episode 118, Lo the Lynx joins the Fingers of Davos to follow Pate through the twisty and misty streets of Oldtown to meet his fate during the AFFC prologue.  But first we learn about Oldtown, Pate's infatuation with Rosey, and about his “friends” as well, including one Sphinx:  Alleras. Pate has been up to no good to obtain a single Golden Dragon so that he can make Rosey "his" (blech, I just threw up a little in my mouth), committing a crime that has his future looking pretty murky. But our guest from the Khalasar has been up to LOTS of good as they bring the expert analysis we knew we could count on about Pate, yes, but lots of other things too as we got to know Lo quite a bit better.  As usual, it was a joy! Khalasar, we are here for you.  Need to vent about the series or life during the stressful Holiday season?  Well, find us and tell us all about it!  ASOIAF fans find us easiest on twitter @davosfingers.  But you can also find us on Facebook, or at wearedavosfingers@gmail.com.  Lastly, if you want

  • Episode 117: Father with Bloodrider Kyle

    08/11/2021 Duración: 03h03min

    In episode 117 we spend a majority of the time within Jaime's head as he stands vigil for his father's funeral.  That is right, Tywin is dead and almost 200 pages later, we are still burying him.  And he is stanky.  But bloodrider Kyle is less than stanky, and he brings the analysis on this chapter like non other.  From the brotherly relationship while Jaime is freeing Tyrion, to the ghostly father/son dynamics that show very clearly the power dynamic between Tywin and his children.  This one goes deep on the feelings and emotions, so strap in. As always, however, the best part of these episodes is when we get to know our guests a little better, so hold on to your hats and enjoy as we all learn a bit more about Dent and how he found the fandom! Do you have a question that you have always wanted Davos' Fingers to answer on ASOIAF or otherwise?  Send us an email at wearedavosfingers@gmail.com, follow us on twitter @davosfingers, or find us on Facebook.  Lastly, if you want to help support the podcast financia

  • Episode 116: Let Us Do Our Duty with Megan

    04/10/2021 Duración: 02h48min

    In episode 116, Matt and Scad chat with Bloodrider Megan as we return to Sansa, whom we haven’t covered since the first episode of Meet the Khalasar.  And it gets deep here, folks as we are covering Sansa III from ASOS, a chapter in which Sansa’s hopes and dreams are dashed to the ground (again), she is forced to marry a Lannister and suffers trauma at every turn.  Megan dives into the fray with some expert analysis on this chapter as we plumb the depths of the mental warfare the Lannisters are waging.  But as always, the best parts of these episodes is getting to know a bloodrider a bit better.  Learning more about Megan was a delight, and we know you will all enjoy getting to know per as well. We will be continuing the Meet the Khalasar series very soon, but the next episode won’t be released until early November as we have some conflicts over the coming weeks.  We will see you then! Do you want to participate in a meet the Khalasar episode?  Do you have a question that you have always wanted us to answer

DROGON.  Yes, the big black dragon makes a return in this episode after disappearing, and we are here for it.  What does it mean for Dany, what does it mean for Meereen?  This is a crucial chapter for Dany as she finally allows her broiling feelings to take control and becomes the dragon once again.   Also and more importantly, guess what, we get to know bloodrider Kat.  A delightful conversation about her nerdy pursuits and family will be sure to have you giggling, so give it a listen! We will be back again in 3 weeks with our next installment of our Meet the Khalasar series.  So get back with us then! For Patrons, we are focusing on the I Am Mercury series at the moment, so look again in a couple weeks for our coverage of Book IV:  Control Z.  This is an exciting thriller with many twists and turns.  It has been a delight to cove
