And so it begins! Game of Microphones' rewatch of Game of Thrones!! WARNING: This podcast episode (and all forthcoming rewatch eps) are from the point of view of having seen the series up through the end of season 7, and have LOTS OF SPOILERS! I've never talked about so many spoilers in a single podcast episode. So much fun :) So if you're all caught up or don't mind spoilers, enjoy! We (Duncan and Jason) had a blast going back to the beginning and looking at all these characters and situations from the perspective of everything that's happened to them moving forward. We were surprised (and delighted) at how much they each seemed destined for their fates, but never quite in the way we might've imagined. And we got a kick out of seeing how much YOUNGER they all looked.
