Well chums, we did it. Somehow, someway, we have come to the grand finale of this reread project, and what a time it's been! How do we note such an occasion? With a 5 hour podcast last week, and a 4.5 hour one this time. We're going out with a bang!!

Before we do the mushy stuff three chapters still remain. In them, Barristan Selmy takes control of a city while planning a war. He says goodbye to the sun's son, begins to make plots of his own, and all round gets the blood moving. In the Dothraki Sea Daenerys Targaryen confronts past decisions, both right and wrong, to choose a new path entirely while on the brink of death. And finally Kevan Lannister hears tales of coming invasions, smugly thinks of his success in Cersei, before death and secrets step out of the shadows with crossbow in hand.

Our FINAL chapters are:

- Barristan IV/ The Queen's Hand

- Daenerys X

- Kevan Lannister

Hop aboard the Isle for...everything, to be honest. It's four and a half hours long, what don't we talk about? The chins will wag on Barristan's scheming for hostages, the diversity of his knights and council, what the Harpies are up to now, and we take a BIG wade into what the Battle of Fire could look like from all angles. After that is a focus on what Viserys represents to Dany (and what would have happened if he got the eggs), the meaning and imagery of Ghost Grass, and the self-sacrifice that comes with trying to be the good guy and realising you must cause pain in order to do so. Plus, how do you actually learn to dragonride, and just how much does George want us thinking of GoT here at the end? Finally, questions on Loras, Jaime's reactions, Genna coming east, the welcoming party for Dany and what a certain MASSIVE reveal means overall.

Plus, you know, lots of saying thank you for the incredible journey. HUZZAH!
