Davos' Fingers - A Song of Ice and Fire Podcast Davos\' Fingers

In Episode 103, we delve into a world in which Jaime does not toss Bran from a window, a lighter timeline...maybe.  In this timeline Jaime intimidates Bran into silence.  Bran goes south, Jaime is not a child murderer, and the 3-eyed crow has to make some choices.  This change obviously has huge impacts on Bran and Jaime as people, their arcs completely change.  But surprisingly, the Fingers think lots of things might actually stay the same.
We hope you enjoy this final regular release of Whatifisodes series.  This series will be continuing as a rotating part of our Patreon offering.  So if you really like the format, check us out there!  Next episode we will be bringing on Bloodrider Misa to talk about her favorite chapter:  Sansa VII from A Storm of Swords.  We will learn about Misa and what brought her to ASOIAF while we talk through that one chapter in depth.  We are really excited for it, so be sure to check that out in three weeks!  But for now enjoy this last Whatifisode.
Lastly,  send us some raven mail!  We can be found at wearedavosfingers@gmail.com, on twitter @davosfingers, at davosfingers.com, or you can find us and like us on Facebook.  Any little thought you have about the series or the podcast, we are here for it!!  Oh, also we have that whole Patreon thing goin on at patreon.com/davosfingers, with some new exciting content coming at you monthly!
Selection covered:  While we focus pretty heavily on Bran and Jaime themselves, this episode reaches out and touches lots of areas of the story, so it covers all books.

The Fingers of Davos embark on episode 102 where we answer the question:  What if Dany had ignored Jorah, and got the Golden Company instead?  It turns out, Bloodriders, that this is a complicated question.  How long does it take her to get to Pentos?  How long until the Golden Company can arrive?  Can Pentos even CONTACT a sellsword company?  Where will Dany land and when?  What is going on in Westeros at that time?  Dany has been so isolated from the events of Westeros that they have continued on largely without influence from her, and we assume they do still. So sit back and enjoy this very time-dependent question!!!
We have one more of these Whatifisodes left and then it is on to a new format wherein we bring in friends of the podcast to talk about their favorite chapters. But for now, sit back and relax as we talk some Daenerys!

Selection covered:  Be advised, this episode spans all works of George from dusk to dawn, from beginning to end, it can cover anything and everything, so spoilers beware. 

Episode 101 brings us to Ned and his head.  If it doesn’t roll, what happens?  We have all been conditioned, now, to a world without Ned, but how much would really change if he were granted his pardon?  Well, the Fingers are here to explore.  What might happen if Ned were sent to the Wall, or what if he were exchanged for Jaime, recently captured in the Whispering Wood (Also Scad’s porn name)?
We are going to be doin a couple more What-If episodes before moving on to yet another format change to be revealed soon.  But for now, sit back and relax as we wander through another valley of possibility.

Selection Covered:  HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, there is no selection covered.  I mean Matt and I spent a good amount of time reviewing A Game of Thrones in general to try to remember what happened when, but this episode spirals out from there quickly going throughout the story, so spoilers beware for everything.

In episode 100 (guys, we made it to 100!) we continue our series of “What if” content.  The fingers of Davos tackle the question:  What if Oberyn Martell had defeated Gregor Clegane during Tyrion’s trial by battle?  How would court life look with a healthy Oberyn gumming up the works?  Tyrion is free, but is he though?  Does Tywin still die?  The “grass” in Dorne is still hiding its “viper” in this timeline, what does that mean for the Dornish plot that we see in the later books?
We will be continuing on with another fun What-if episode in 3 weeks.  So come ready to relax as we take a walk through a Westeros that has a little bit of a different feel!
We love George’s work.  You love George’s work.  Let’s build on that!   Reach out and talk with us.  You can find and like us on Facebook, or check out our tumblr at davosfingers.com.  We love to banter on twitter @davosfingers or through email at wearedavosfingers@gmail.com.  Lastly, if you feel like supporting the cast, check out our Patreon through patreon.com/davosfingers.  
Selection Covered:  Everything. Though it mostly focuses on The Lannisters and Dorne, there are other implications in there as well!   Nothing is off limits though, so if you don’t want to be spoiled, stay away.  Just come with your general knowledge of ASOIAF and a willingness for fun. 

The Davos’ Fingers podcast is trying something a little new starting with Episode 99.  The next several episodes will focus on “What if” questions.  Matt and Scad will then spend the episode untangling how George’s world would have been different if crucial moments had gone just a little bit differently.  So, get your headphones on and listen in as we ponder what would have happened if Rhaegar had defeated Robert Baratheon on the trident.  Would dragons have entered the world?  What would the Stark children’s lives look like?  Does Rhaegar make sure the three heads of the dragon are fulfilled with his two sons?  And maybe most importantly….who does Cersei marry?  Its a zany episode and we hope you enjoy!
Make sure you check back in 3 weeks for our next What If episode.  It will be a doozy!
Send us some Raven mail!  We love to hear the thoughts from the fandom, on everything from what type of underwear Oberyn might wear to weather Daario is worthy companion for...well anyone.  So find and like us on Facebook, or check out our tumblr at davosfingers.com.  We can also be found on twitter @davosfingers or through email at wearedavosfingers@gmail.com.  Lastly, if you feel like supporting the cast, check out our Patreon through patreon.com/davosfingers.  
Selection Covered:  Everything.  We run free range all across the canon in this episode.  But there isn’t anything you could really read to prepare.  Just come with your general knowledge of ASOIAF and a willingness for fun.

In episode 98 the Fingers of Davos explore the most impressive of the free cities:  Pentos, Braavos and Volantis.  These are perhaps the most different cities from each other as you can get.  Braavos, the poster-child of anti-slavery starkly cast against Volantis powered by slaves at a ratio of 5-to-1, with Pentos in between, pretending not to be pro-slavery but embracing everything it entails.  One that denies its Valyrian roots, one that holds itself as the Valyrian standard, and one that embraces its roots, but also fine with mixing with other cultures.  Such a fun set of differences to cover.  We also spend some time in Valyria itself, talking about its current state, and whether it is as dangerous as it seems.
In three weeks we are moving to a bit of a format change, so get psyched for Davos’ Fingers madness.  Nothing to read on your end, nothing to prep.  We are getting back to ASOIAF proper, with a series of episodes called “What If”.  Specifically in this case: What if Rhaegar had defeated Robert on the Trident?  So get ready for some zany analysis about what would have gone differently had Robert not caved in Rhaegar’s chest.
We love to hear from fans that worship at the altar of George.  So find and like us on Facebook, or check out our tumblr at davosfingers.com.  We can also be found on twitter @davosfingers or through email at wearedavosfingers@gmail.com.  Lastly, if you feel like supporting the cast, check out our Patreon through patreon.com/davosfingers.  
Selection Covered:  most of the content from this episode comes from The World of Ice and Fire.  We are covering everything from Pentos on page 266 through the section on Braavos, ending on page 276.  But there is some additonal coverage on Valyria that comes from TWOIAF and other general knowledge from the series at large. Spoilers beware.
