Welcome to the Game of Thrones podcast, the unofficial podcast for Game of Thrones on HBO. I'm Jim. I'm A-Rome,

and we just watched season 2 episode 5 titled The Ghost of Harenall. What do you think of this episode?

1:01.2

I liked it. That sounds absolutely positive. Well, I mean, there's nothing bad about it, but there's

1:09.4

also not a lot of like, oh my god, like there's a lot of like, I mean, there's a lot of points that I

1:15.2

liked. Like, like, it gives me a pleasure to see the Pyramans are played by Roy Doutry, so I

1:22.7
