This week on Game of Groans, Emily and Kate are joined by Nav from A Song of Ice and Fire Symposium to talk about Episode 8 of Season 1, The Lord of Tides.
They discuss the heavy Season 2 marketing, the war room table, too many swords, Aegon's dream, that there's only one drug in Westeros, fantasy politics, and that Viserys is a great grandfather.
Additionally, Emily is uncomfortable saying she likes the series, Kate thinks Rhaenys should have been Queen, and Nav lost respect for Allicent.
New episodes biweekly, the next episode is coming October 22nd. Music is by Simon Daum.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
