Hello and welcome to the Not a guestast, podcast, the one true chapter by chapter podcast going through a song of ice and fire one chapter week.

I am one of your host, Jeff, better known as Brennan v. Fish. And I'm your other host Emmett, better known as Poor Quentin.

And welcome to the 115 episode

The Not a Castle titled Shadow of a Doubt, Part 1.

An analysis of a clash of King Stavos 2, man, just feels great to say that,

in which Stannis and his new sycophants would very much like to move on

for Brinley's very unfortunate death, please.

But Sir Courtney Penrose, he ain't going to allow it.

He sure won't.

And yes, this is part one.

It's going to be part one, not of two, but three episodes on this chapter of a Clash or

Kings Davos, too, because as you're about to see, we managed to milk quite a bit out of even

this one small chunk of it.

So next week is going to be part two in which we deal with the conversation between Stanis and Davos that happens right after this confrontation with Courtney Penrose. And then the week after that will be part three of a Class of Kings Davos 2 in which we deal with

Davos and Melisandra and their conversation right before Melisandra unleashes the second

shadow baby. And of course, this isn't part just because we love the Barathian Davos-Malessandra

started the storyline, but also because this chapter really is just massive and dense and so well done that we wanted to

just get into every little bit of minutiae with you. So it's going to be a three-parter and we can't

wait to do it. Can I wait to do that with you, sir, and with all you folks who are tuning in live

and those of you are listening on our regular podcast feeds. Thank you all very, very much.

So as always, this episode is brought to you by our small council, our hand of the king,

Wolfman, Zach, Grand Mastor Timbob, Lord Commander of the Kingsguard, Mark N, Lord Travis, Master
