Episode Details

Hello and welcome 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, Davos cools his heels in jail before chatting with his jailor Melisandre and his fellow prisoner Alester Florent.   This week, we:   

- Frame this chapter as a crucible pivot point within Davos' ASOS arc

- Explore the ambiguous duality in his dynamic with Melisandre

- Deconstruct Melisandre's rigid binary worldview

- Poke fun at Alester Florent

- Set up Davos' quandary going forward: how does he further Stannis' cause as anything but a suicide mission?

  Next week: Jon Snow explores several cave systems.   Our patreon: www.patreon.com/NotACastASOIAF   Our merch store: https://notacastasoiaf.threadless.com     Our twitter: twitter.com/NotACastASOIAF   Our facebook: www.facebook.com/groups/289889118235797/   Our youtube page: www.youtube.com/channel/UCmmDfPdG…iew_as=subscriber   Emmett's twitter: twitter.com/PoorQuentyn
