Episode 133: Driftmark
Friday Oct 07, 2022
Friday Oct 07, 2022
The funeral of Laena Velaryon has brought the whole cast of characters to Driftmark, and we follow them there in Episode 133 of the Davos’ Fingers podcast, also called: Driftmark. It is an awkward affair that sparks a romance and wedding, a dragon claimed, Velaryon discord, and family infighting that will ring throughout Westeros for years to come. Viserys struggles to keep it all together while Rhaenyra and Alicent tear at the seams for power and control.
Each Friday morning, Davos’ Fingers will release a new episode to cover the happenings of the previous week’s House of the Dragon episode. We will cover each and every scene in spoiler-free detail and also look forward toward what we think is coming in the upcoming episode in our segment called Dragons After Dark. Using Fire and Blood and our own instincts as our guide, the Dragons After Dark segment will forecast what the wise Fingers believe is coming next. This content is also now available on the Davos’ Fingers Youtube channel!

Episode 132: The Princess and the Queen
Friday Sep 30, 2022
Friday Sep 30, 2022
Episode 132 of the Davos’ Fingers Podcast covers the sixth episode of House of the Dragon: The Princess and the Queen. Let’s do the time warp again, because in this episode we skip ahead around 10 years to find Alicent and Rhaenyra with 3 children each, Daemon with a new wife and two twin girls of his own, and Viserys with a seemingly tentative grip on control of the realm and life itself. Rhaenyra, feeling her own hold on the throne slipping away, proposes a marriage to unite the two factions of House Targaryen, an offer coldly received.
Davos’ Fingers will release our weekly House of the Dragon coverage each Friday morning to cover the happenings of the previous week and to look forward toward what we think is coming in the upcoming episode. Using Fire and Blood and our own instincts as our guide the Dragons After Dark segment will be full of spoilers as we try to forecast how the sands of the hourglass will fall.

Episode 131: We Light the Way
Friday Sep 23, 2022
Friday Sep 23, 2022
The Fingers of Davos continue their coverage of House of the Dragon in Episode 131. With the question of succession (still) looming large, Viserys makes a wedding pact that he hopes will stabilize the kingdom and ensure Rhaenyra’s path to rule. Rhaenyra and her new betrothed, Laenor Velaryon make their own plans for happiness, while Alicent, Daemon, and Ser Criston Cole all adjust their behavior and loyalties in response to the union, and to the shifting balance of power. Lastly, the Strongs assert themselves as players in the game as well, showing support for Viserys, but also a penchant for sewing some chaos of their own.
Join Davos’ Fingers weekly for House of the Dragon Coverage! We will release each Friday morning to cover what went down in the previous week’s episode, but also to look ahead to the next episode. Our special Dragons after Dark segment will offer a spoiler-filled look at what we think is coming next based on direction of the show and our deep dives into Fire and Blood.

Episode 130: King of the Narrow Sea
Friday Sep 16, 2022
Friday Sep 16, 2022
Episode 130: King of the Narrow Sea features a family reunited as Daemon returns for his years long exile and war in the Stepstones and Rhaenyra gives up on the processional to find a consort. But Daemon’s return lights a spark in Rhaenyra at exactly the right (or wrong?) moment, interrupting her thoughts which are fixated on a life lived in the gilded cage of marriage into which she is being forced. Passion, duty, power dynamics, and manipulation abound in this episode filled with outstanding performances and deft direction.
House of the Dragon is with us every week, so we will join you every week! Davos’ Fingers will release every Friday morning with a recap of the previous episode and a special Dragons after Dark segment to tease the upcoming episode and make some predictions about what is to come!

Friday Aug 26, 2022
In Episode 127, Matt and Scad take a leap into the HBO series The House of the Dragon, covering its first episode: The Heirs of the Dragon. With Jaehaerys’ rule coming to an end, and the succession unclear, the assembled Lords of Westeros choose Viserys I to rule the 7 Kingdoms. But it isn’t long before Viserys has his own succession problems as he struggles to produce a male heir. With a child on the way for Queen Aemma though, hope springs and King’s Landing holds a tourney to celebrate. But things do not go as planned, and Viserys is left with an unruly council, a brutal brother, and a dutiful but overlooked daughter to contend with as the succession looms again.
This is the first in what will be weekly episodes covering the new HBO series, The House of the Dragon. So it will be a busy few months for the Fingers. Check back here each Friday for a recap of the previous week and to get excited for the upcoming episode as well. This content can also be found on the Davos’ Fingers Youtube channel in video format.

Episode 126: Whispering Lullabies featuring Zander
Monday Aug 22, 2022
Monday Aug 22, 2022
In the final installment of Meet the Khalasar, the Fingers of Davos are joined by the zen-like Zander as we dive into Jaime’s penultimate chapter in asoiaf, Jaime VII of A Feast for Crows. In it, we find a Jaime busy with wrapping up the final business odds and ends for the Wot5K in the Riverlands. We see an effective Jaime, a productive Jaime. But we also see a frustrated man dealing with the escape of a slippery Blackfish and grappling with what his role will be like when he does return to King’s Landing; his sister having created an entirely different mess that will need his attention, if she’s still alive that is.
Zander on the other hand creates no mess. It was a delight to get to know Zander a lot better. He has been with us since the beginning, but mostly keeping to the shadows, and it was nice to shine a light on this kind, generous, and thoughtful friend. We can’t wait for everyone to hear his asoiaf story and some of his personal tales.
Next up for the Fingers? Oh, just a little D. HotD, that is! That’s right, for the first time, Davos’ Fingers is going to be doing…duh duh duh…..SHOW Coverage. House of the Dragon just looks and sounds too good to pass up, and the Fandom is absolutely DROOLING over it, so we figured we really had to give the people what they want. More details to come, but look for a release in the week following the first Episode of House of the Dragon, which premiers on 8/21/22!
We love talking ASOIAF with its fans, so please come and play with us! You can find us on twitter @davosfingers, and also on Facebook. You can also shoot us an email at wearedavosfingers@gmail.com or support us through Patreon at patreon.com/davosfingers.
