Summary

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, Catelyn secures passage across the Green Fork for Robb and his army by negotiating a marriage pact with Walder Frey, an irascible old ass who will thankfully never turn up in the story again. This week, we: -Discuss how the Frey army is larger than it should be, along with other examples of early installment weirdness (weir-ness? We apologize for nothing) -Marvel at how well this chapter's comedic tone works in isolation... -...and at how that tone completely changes when you re-read it knowing about the Red Wedding -Dig into the connections and contrasts between the Frey brood and Craster's Keep -Debate whether Robb should've stuck to this marriage pact or just broken it with a more powerful family Next week: Kim Renfro, Insider writer and author of The Unofficial Guide to Game of Thrones, joins us to discuss Jon VIII!
