Episode 111: A CLASH OF KINGS, THEON III: "Turncloak"

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, Theon Greyjoy descends through the first five layers of hell, takes a look around, and decides that the fifth layer isn’t deep enough. He’s going for the sixth layer.   This week, we:   

- Praise George's in medias res structure for the chapter

- Watch Theon's opposing identities come into conflict

- Roll our eyes at the selfish violent ways he tries to resolve that conflict

- Raise a glass for Dagmer Cleftjaw, the only person who loves Theon

- Dig into the layers of folly in Theon's plan to take Winterfell

Next week: we haunt Harrenhal once more in Arya VIII, in which Tywin marches west and Arya whispers a second name to Jaqen H'ghar...only to regret it far too late. We will be joined for this episode by returning guest Michal from Vassals of Kingsgrave!
