Published: Nov. 23, 2020, noon

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!\n\xa0\nIn this episode, Catelyn riddles in the dark with Gollum/Jaime and discovers the horrible truth behind the backstory.\n\xa0\nThis week, we:\xa0\n\xa0\n\n- Talk about the rules of the game and how playing this game demonstrates the arrested development of these Robert's Rebellion-era characters\n- Gape at Jaime for his casual admissions of truth and how Jaime is denying Catelyn catharsis with his admissions\n- Talk about vows and how it displays the rotten system of Westeros\n- Get our eyes opened specifically to the type of king that Jaime kingslayed\n- Sympathize with Jaime (of all people) because even when he tells the truth to Catelyn, she dismisses him as a kinslayer.\n- Debate about whether Catelyn was correct to release Jaime for Sansa.\n\xa0\nNext week: We're back in Winterfell with Theon as he continues to rule justly and nobly ... or makes a botch of it while having nightmares and getting owned by his sister again. And we'll be joined by a brand new special guest: Alisha Benton!|\n\nOur patreon:\xa0www.patreon.com/NotACastASOIAF\n\n\n\xa0\nOur twitter:\xa0twitter.com/NotACastASOIAF\n\n\n\xa0\nOur facebook:\xa0www.facebook.com/groups/289889118235797/\n\n\n\xa0\nOur youtube page:\xa0www.youtube.com/channel/UCmmDfPdG\u2026iew_as=subscriber\n\n\n\xa0\nEmmett's twitter:\xa0twitter.com/PoorQuentyn\n\n\n\xa0\nJeff's twitter:\xa0twitter.com/BryndenBFish
