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!

In this episode, good ol' Maester Luwin reassures Bran and Rickon that their creepy nightmares about their dad being dead are meaningless...and of course, he is proven 100% right. Since when do dreams *mean* things?!

This week, we:

-Discuss the different directions George considered going with books four and five

-Set up the struggle that will dominate Bran's storyline in the next book: the secular v. the magical, the Stark in Winterfell v. the Winged Wolf

-Dig into the layers of political and personal history down in the Winterfell crypts

-Pay tribute to the Ned Stark shaped hole inside Bran, Rickon, and his own tomb

-Ponder where the Children of the Forest went and what they did after the Andals arrived per Luwin's story...

Next week: AGOT, Sansa VI with new guest Michal Shick of Hypable, Nice Jewish Fangirls, and Vassals of Kingsgrave!

Dawkins' rather Islamophobic post-911 attitudes aside, he's a genuine genius in his field. As an agnostic leftie myself, it's always weird to see the shade thrown at public atheists, even by people who are proud skeptics about everything but religion.

I interpreted Luwin's final lines (we shall need to find a stonecarver...) as acceptance of the boy's prophetic dreams. He doesn't need to tell them their father is dead because they already know.
