Talkin' Thrones Episode 4 - Cripples, Bastards & Broken Things

On the latest episode of #talkinthrones, Dom & Pat break down Episode 4 of this tale of Ice & Fire, Cripples, Bastards & Broken Things. Cripples, Bastards and Broken Things is directed by Brian Kirk and is the first episode written by Bryan Cogman, the only other writer to have written an episode for every season of the show.  This was an episode about the disenfranchised of the world of Westeros. Daenerys realizes that Viseryes is a useless blowhard who simply likes abusing people; Jon and company welcome new recruit Samwell Tarly to the wall; Tyrion gifts Bran with the ability to ride before ripping Theon a new one and getting himself captured by Catelyn; and Ned begins his investigation of Jon Arryn's murder, which leads him to Robert Baratheon's bastard, Gendry (Joe Dempsie). Then, we talk about our focus character, Petry "Littlefinger" Baelish, portrayed by Aidan Gillen, a man who's help so many people covet, yet so few trust. Finally, in line with the theme of this episode, we discuss the concept of bastards and their role within the infrastructure of Westeros. So many things to cover, and so much still yet to come, be sure to keep tuning into new episodes of Talkin' Thrones each and every single week, only on the #talkintvpodcast channel!  #littlefinger #talkinthrones #bastards #cripplesbastardsbrokenthings #briankirk #bryancogman #aidangillen #robertbaratheon #gameofthrones #gameofthronesrecap #talkinthrones #waters snow #rivers #stone #waters #pyke #ironislands #exposition #targaryens #dragons #theongreyjoy #petyrbaelish
