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, Jon Snow attempts to abandon his Night's Watch vows in order to ride off and join Robb in avenging Ned...only for his brothers and his LC to tell him that his place is at Castle Black fighting the army of the dead. This week, we: - Ponder what Jon might get up to while inside Ghost - Acknowledge that the occasionally overbearing Teenage Drama tone to Jon's AGOT chapters fits someone his age making all these tough decisions - Pat Jon on the head and call him a good boy as he realizes that running away from his problems isn't solving them -Look ahead to Jon's later temptations to leave the Watch, of which this is but the first of three - Parse Elsie Mormont's statements about power, priorities, and the Iron Throne v. the White Walkers Next week: Steven Attewell of Race For The Iron Throne joins us to discuss Robb Stark being crowned KING IN THE NORRRRRRR*deep breath*RRRRRRTH in AGOT, Catelyn XI!

0:00.0	Hello and welcome to the nutcast, podcast, the one true chapter by chapter podcast going through the Song of Ice and Fire one chapter week.
0:29.3	I'm one of your host Jeff, better known as me fish.
0:32.0	And I'm your other host Emmett, better known as poor Quentin.
0:35.4	And welcome to the 70th episode of the Nod not cast entitled, Should I Stay or Should I Go?
0:40.7	No, wait, should I stay or should I go?
0:42.3	An analysis of Game of Thrones, John 9, in which Lord Snow attempts to abandon his watch in order to join Rob in seeking vengeance.
0:49.3	Vengeance for Ned, only for his friends and his Elsie to tell him he's being an emo and dumb and ugly.
0:55.3	And his true heroic destiny lies in the north beyond the wall.
0:59.6	A lot like Tyrion 9 last week, this is one of those chapters where you can hear the end credits music ramping up at the end as you learn that John is going beyond the wall next season with Elsie Mormont and all the Knights Watch characters,
1:11.3	and they handled that wonderfully in Game of Thrones season one. And you can feel that very
1:14.8	strongly here that this is a great connective tissue between John Story in the first book and the
1:19.4	second book. That still doesn't mean we're in love with the tone, as we have been throughout
1:23.2	John's story in book one. But structurally speaking, in terms of where John needs to be, it definitely
1:28.4	comes through.
1:29.7	Yeah, it does come through.
1:31.2	But I do have to say I kind of prefer the TV shows ending to this one because it does kind of
1:34.4	fall into some things that happen in a clash of kings, save for John and Aria in this case.
1:39.6	So, yeah, it's going to be a very exciting chapter this week, as always.
1:43.5	And as always, this chapter is most excited because it's brought to be a very exciting chapter this week, as always. And as always, this chapter
1:44.5	is most exciting because it's brought to you by our small council patrons on patron. Our hand
1:48.6	of the king, wolfman, Zach, Grand Master Timbob, Lord Commander of the Kingsguard, Mark N, Lord
1:53.7	Travis, Master of Shipson, Ward of the Waves, Sir Keith J, Master of Whisperors, Lord Philip
