00:00Welcome to the Deep Dive. Today we're really diving deep into Game of Thrones, looking at the, well,

00:06the lasting impact of these characters who just captivated millions. Our sources for this Deep

00:11Dive, they're not just, you know, standard analyses. We're looking at some really insightful

00:14pieces like 18 Game of Thrones souls still haunt your heart, and the crowns we never wore, how 18

00:21Game of Thrones souls secretly live inside you, plus the scars that forged a kingdom. They're not

00:27just about plot, are they? They really reflect on how these fictional lives can shed light on our

00:32own experiences. Exactly, and that's really our mission today, isn't it? To go beyond just the

00:37battles and the crowns and really unpack how these 18 iconic characters, even though, yeah, they're

00:42fictional, they embody such universal human stuff, will dig into their core wounds, those really

00:47profound contradictions they all had and the lessons they offer us about, well, power, love, and what it

00:52actually means to be human, especially in a world like Westeros, you know, full of ice and fire. We

00:56really want to show you how deeply these characters resonate within us. Okay, let's

01:01get into it. Okay, so where else could we possibly start but with Jon Snow? The ghost

01:07of the wall, the bastard of Winterfell. I mean, he seemed to wear honor like this really heavy,

01:12almost suffocating second skin. He never really wanted to be king, did he? No, absolutely not.

01:17And what the sources really nail about Jon is that core wound, that constant ache of, like,

01:23never truly belonging, always feeling different. He genuinely seemed to believe he had to earn

01:29love through just immense sacrifice, constantly bleeding for others, while his own deep wounds

01:34stayed hidden. His biggest wound, really, was probably feeling like he was never truly seen.

01:39Yeah, and it's fascinating how that plays out in his contradictions. Like, he trusted people he maybe

01:43shouldn't have, loved when maybe being ruthless was needed, and, well, he died for it twice. That moral

01:50compass he had, as noble as it was, it almost felt like a sword cutting him just as deeply as it did

01:55his enemies. That's such a good point. He was this leader who clearly craved solitude, a warrior who

02:00seemed to worship peace. And looking at the bigger picture, Jon just embodies duty over desire, completely.

02:07He stepped up not because he wanted power, but because, well, someone had to hold the line when things got really

02:12dark, that quiet strength he had, you know, forged and all that rejection. It teaches us that real

02:18leadership doesn't always bloom from sitting on thrones. Sometimes it's about the willingness to kneel, to

02:24serve. And Kit Harington really brought that quiet nobility, didn't he? You could almost feel the weight

02:29of the world on his shoulders through the screen. He really could. He showed heroism wasn't always loud

02:34gestures, but often just sheer exhaustion and profound silence. It made that lesson about humble leadership hit

02:40so much harder. Made silence speak volumes, yeah. Okay, so from Jon's sort of quiet, reluctant leadership, let's pivot.

02:46Let's talk about someone who wielded power with, well, literal fire in her veins, Daenerys Targaryen. From the ashes of

02:52abuse and exile, she just rose. Fire on her lips, liberation in her heart. Mother of dragons, breaker of chains.

03:00Yeah, and the sources, they really focus on this idea of a profound narcissistic injury as her core wound.

03:07And just to clarify, that doesn't mean narcissistic like we might use the term casually. It's about a deep

03:12wound to her self-worth, her sense of self, coming from all that constant betrayal and loss she faced.

03:17Okay, I see. And that deep-seated pain, it really fueled her unyielding desire for control. That hunger

03:23for dominion was just as fierce as her craving for love, and both were sort of born from that awful

03:29absence of a true home. Wow, yeah. That really reframes her whole journey. And her contradictions

03:35are just stark, aren't they? The power she wanted for good, it twisted her mercy into, well, madness.

03:42She dreamed of breaking chains for everyone else, but in the end she kind of forged her own. A mother

03:46to dragons, but tragically childless. A savior who brought a storm. Her compassion felt real,

03:53but oh, that rage, even more so. And her descent wasn't sudden, like some people

03:57felt watching it. It was really this tragic culmination of unchecked power, that intense

04:02isolation and the deep trauma we just talked about. Right, it built over time. Absolutely.

04:06Her story forces us to look at a pretty terrifying truth. Even the best intentions can get warped by

04:13pain. She teaches us that power corrupts, maybe not always through pure malice, but through that

04:18unbearable loneliness of believing you and only you can save the world. Emilia Clarke just embodied that

04:25conflict brilliantly. She showed how even the brightest flames cast the longest, darkest shadows.

04:30She gave us both the fire and the vulnerability. Yeah, she made us believe in those dragons. Even when they

04:35turned to ash, you really felt you saw the girl behind the dragon fire, that flicker of humanity

04:40still there. You did. Okay, let's shift gears again. A character who navigated Westeros with a

04:45very different kind of power. Tyrion Lannister, the imp, the half-man. Famously despised by his father,

04:51Tywin, yet probably the cleverest person in the whole realm. Oh, easily. And his core wound, no question,

04:57was that profound disdain from his father and the constant painful reminders about his physical stature.

05:02It created this perpetual sense of rejection that really defined so much of his early life.

05:07And his contradictions are just endless, aren't they? Yeah. His wit was his armor, the wine,

05:12his comfort. His solace. And yet, his heart often tripped him up. He played the game better than almost anyone,

05:18but he kept losing the one thing he couldn't outsmart. His own deep loneliness. A cynic who,

05:25somehow, still believed in better angels. A drunkard whose clarity could just gut empires.

05:31His brilliance was kind of his burden, wasn't it? He saw through everyone else's lives with such

05:36clarity, but often seemed to be drowning in his own issues. And his love for women and wine,

05:41the sources point this out clearly, it was a coping mechanism. A way to deal with that fundamental lack

05:46of acceptance. But ultimately, he proved that real strength isn't about stature, it's about the incredible

05:52depths of the mind and the heart. He showed us, you know, that broken things can still build empires.

05:58Peter Dinklage absolutely was Tyrion, wasn't he? He could make a simple smirk feel like a revolution,

06:04or a sigh like a tragedy. He somehow made Tyrion the most deeply human character on the show,

06:10proving that giants live in souls, not just bodies. His performance made intellect

06:16feel like this act of rebellion. It really did. Amazing performance.

06:19Okay, from Tyrion's cunning mind, let's move to a different kind of strength. Arya Stark.

06:25The wolf who just refused to be tamed. A girl who watched her father die, ran from kings,

06:31ran from gods, chose vengeance over safety, solitude over love.

06:36Her core wound was just brutal, wasn't it? The repeated loss of her family and the really traumatic

06:42effects of all that violence that tragically just normalized death for her. Her childhood was

06:47basically stolen by this quest for vengeance. Yeah, it consumed her. And it's fascinating how

06:51she embodied such stark contradictions. She wore all those faces, but her own identity was the one

06:56thing she couldn't truly escape. She became no one, a faceless girl, but she never really erased

07:00Arya Stark. The killer, yes, completely remorseless at times, but then she chose mercy when it really

07:05mattered, when it cost her. Started as this playful tomboy and became something else entirely chillingly

07:12precise. And her list, it wasn't just names, was it? It was like a ledger of injustice,

07:17all the broken promises. She became no one by losing everything that made her someone. She learned

07:24to kill with terrifying skill, yet in the end she chose to reclaim her name, reclaim her humanity.

07:30Her journey powerfully shows us that even the smallest hands can wield the sharpest blades and that love,

07:36love is maybe the only thing death can't actually steal.

07:40Maisie Williams was just incredible. She transformed Arya from that rebellious girl into this

07:44undeniable force of nature, almost right before our eyes. You felt that transformation. Yeah.

07:50She taught us that sometimes growing up means, well, learning how to kill the person you used to be.

07:55And she made silence scream louder than any battle cry. Absolutely. Okay, sticking with the Starks,

07:59but a very different path. Sansa Stark, she started as that songbird in the gilded cage, right?

08:05Dreaming of knights and lemon cakes and all the fairy tales. Definitely. And her core wound was just

08:09the complete shattering of that innocence, the repeated betrayal she endured, which basically

08:15forced her adapt or die. She was stripped of those fairy tales by men who just constantly mistook her

08:21gentleness for weakness. And that's where her contradictions become so powerful. She survived

08:25because she learned the language of her captors. Her vulnerability amazingly became her strength,

08:31often hidden as weakness. Exactly. She went from this wide-eyed romantic to this incredibly shrewd

08:37realist. A pawn who somehow ended up checkmating kings. Yeah, the brutal Game of Thrones really

08:43forced her to sew her pain into her gowns and her wisdom into her silence. Her journey is just this

08:49powerful example of what psychologists call post-traumatic growth. Ah, okay. Where suffering

08:53isn't just endured, it's actively transformed into wisdom and eventually into real power. Her greatest victory

08:59wasn't just getting Winterfell back. Right. It was never losing herself in that den of monsters.

09:04She really taught us that survival can look like grace under just impossible pressure,

09:08and that resilience can absolutely wear a crown. Sophie Turner's portrayal was just brilliant over

09:13the years. She turned tears into armor and whispers into commands. You saw that profound strength

09:18forged in survival, and her whole evolution felt so earned, so real. It really did. You believed every step.

09:24All right, now let's talk Bran Stark. The boy who fell, and in falling, somehow became the world.

09:32That broken thing left in the tower. The three-eyed raven that almost nobody understood.

09:37Yeah, his core wound was literally losing his legs, which paradoxically was the catalyst. It opened his

09:44third eye to the past, the present, the future. He basically had to lose his individual self to become

09:50the memory of the whole world. It's true. His journey wasn't about walking anymore,

09:53was it? It was all about seeing. And the contradictions are just a mess. He becomes this godlike figure

09:58who almost seems to mourn being purely human. Right, that loss of self. A passive observer who,

10:03arguably, orchestrated fate itself. He ended up king not because he wanted, and wanting seems like a luxury

10:10he couldn't afford anymore with that, you know, all-seeing perspective. His inner world literally became this

10:16vast, interconnected consciousness. His rise to the throne was Westeros' salvation. Yeah, but also,

10:24maybe its greatest betrayal. Because that omniscience turned into this profound loneliness.

10:29Hmm, interesting take. He showed us that growing up can sometimes mean growing beyond all recognition,

10:35and the truly terrifying, isolating cost of knowing everything. Isaac Hempstead Wright really nailed that

10:42stillness, didn't he? Made it more haunting than any battle cry. He conveyed that sort of ethereal

10:47detachment with such eerie precision, made the emptiness feel profound. He really did. Very

10:52effective. Okay, we've spent some time with the Starks' characters, often defined by, you know,

10:57honor, loyalty, and just immense grief. But now let's shift to a house that played the game very

11:02differently, often with cunning, contradictions. Starting with Jaime Lannister, the Kingslayer, who somehow

11:07became his own redeemer, pushed a cat out a window, and spent his whole life trying to climb back up.

11:11Yeah, Jaime. His core wound feels kind of twofold, doesn't it? There's the public humiliation being

11:17branded Kingslayer for an act that was actually, you know, heroic, saving the city. Right. And then,

11:22deeply tangled up with that, is his incestuous, almost unconditional love for Cersei that constantly

11:28pulled him back into the darkness, undermining any real attempt he made at a different path.

11:33That dynamic is so powerful. And his contradictions are just fascinating. He loved his sister,

11:39yet clearly hated his own legacy. He ends up dying beside the woman who

11:43was both his greatest sin and, maybe, his ultimate salvation.

11:47It's incredibly complex. The Golden Knight, who deliberately tarnished himself,

11:51only to find his real shine, his real self maybe, in the mud and the rain. An Oathbreaker, who in the

11:56end, died keeping his word almost to a fault. Yeah.

12:00And his physical loss, losing his hand, that was a huge catalyst, wasn't it? Forcing him towards

12:04self-betterment, forcing him to figure out who he was beyond just being a great swordsman.

12:09Seven all. He lived with that immense

12:11weight of being misunderstood for the right reasons and loved for all the wrong ones.

12:15His greatest act, saving King's Landing, seen as his greatest shame. He really teaches us that

12:21sometimes we're our own jailers and that redemption. Yeah.

12:24It isn't about grand gestures. It's messy. It's personal. It's truth.

12:29Nicolaj Koster-Waldau's performance was just remarkable. Yeah.

12:32He could make a villain's sigh sound almost like a hymn by the end. Yeah.

12:37He made us love a character we were maybe supposed to hate, right? Yeah.

12:41Transform Jamie into this incredibly complex, deeply human figure.

12:45He absolutely did. Showed all those layers.

12:47Okay, from Jaime, we have to turn to the lioness who truly roared herself into ruin. Cersei Lannister.

12:54Never just a queen was she. She was a storm.

12:57Oh, completely. And her core wound, the sources really dig into this. It was the repeated,

13:03agonizing loss of her children. And also that profound sense of powerlessness she felt in a

13:09world run by men. A world that saw her mostly as a pawn.

13:13Right. The patriarchal structure.

13:14Exactly. And she truly believed that prophecy about her children dying, which made her sacrifice

13:20absolutely everything to protect them, even though ultimately they were never going to be safe.

13:23Her contradictions are just terrifying, aren't they? Her love was poison, her grief was wildfire,

13:29and her ambition became this crown of thorns that just slowly strangled her.

13:32She played the game better than almost any man, but it felt like the game was rigged against her from

13:36the start. A tyrant forged by that very patriarchy she fought against. A mother who, in this really twisted

13:44way, loved her children to death. Every single act she committed, no matter how monstrous it seemed to

13:49us, was justified in her mind as protecting her legacy, protecting her children. She was magnificent

13:56and terrible. And you really get the sense she would have burned King's Landing down for them long

14:00before any wildfire got near it. That's a scary thought. She teaches us that the most dangerous

14:05monsters aren't always born evil. Sometimes they're born from fear disguised as love.

14:11Lena Headey was just phenomenal. She turned trulty into poetry on screen, turned sipping wine into a

14:17weapon. She really did. Made Cersei this villain of terrifying complexity, showed us that sometimes

14:23monsters are just mothers whose children the world tried to kill. An unforgettable performance.

14:28Okay, shifting now to a very different kind of knight. One who had to fight harder than anyone

14:34for her place. Brienne of Tarth. The maiden who fought for a love she'd never quite have,

14:39and maybe the truest knight in all of Westeros. Absolutely. And her core wound was that profound

14:45loneliness and the constant scorn she endured just for being who she was. Her unconventional appearance,

14:51her choices. Mocked for her strength in a world that, frankly, preferred women to be like

14:56silk, easily sold or traded. And her contradictions are so striking because of that.

15:01She swore oaths to kings, but then broke them for a higher sense of honor. She was a knight without a

15:06formal title who, paradoxically, defined chivalry for so many. A fearsome warrior who could weep openly

15:13while writing Jaime's entry in the white book. Her sword wasn't just a weapon for her, it was her voice.

15:18Her armor was her skin, and her loyalty was her only religion. She just instinctively understood that

15:23chivalry wasn't about singing songs or looking pretty. It was about courageously standing between

15:28the innocent and the cruel. She taught us that true knighthood isn't about birthright or titles.

15:34It's about quietly keeping your promises, especially when nobody is watching.

15:39Gwendolyn Christie brought such a towering presence, but also this heartbreaking vulnerability.

15:44She could make a solemn vow sound like a love letter to the world.

15:48She really made us see the beauty in Brienne's, well, brokenness in a way.

15:52She really did. A fantastic portrayal of strength and vulnerability.

15:55Okay, let's turn to Sander Clegane, the hound. The dog who feared the fire. All snarl and scar tissue,

16:03famously hated knights.

16:04Yeah, the hound. His core wound was clearly profound. PTSD, post-traumatic stress disorder from

16:10his brother's horrific cruelty when they were kids.

16:12That burning incident. Exactly. And it manifested as this intense,

16:16crippling fear of fire and just a deep ingrained mistrust of pretty much everyone. Those burns

16:21weren't just physical scars. They represented his father, his brother, his god, everything that

16:26had hurt him. Makes perfect sense. And his contradictions are really powerful because of that.

16:31His rage was this shield he used to push everyone away, but that fear of fire was his secret shame.

16:38He lived hating knights, and he died in a way that was arguably the most knightly act of all,

16:44right? Protecting Arya. Definitely. He was this brutal butcher who

16:48sometimes protected doves. Yeah. He spent his whole life running from his brother, Gregor,

16:53only to finally face him in the very flames he feared most. He died for Arya, who, in her fierce

16:59independence, maybe reminded him of the man he could have been without all that trauma.

17:04His journey was this slow, incredibly painful path towards confronting his demons. He showed us

17:09that sometimes the biggest, most intimidating dogs have the gentlest hearts hidden deep down,

17:13and that redemption, it doesn't erase the past. It just writes a better ending.

17:18Rory McCann's performance was just incredible. He turned a growl into something that felt almost

17:22like a prayer by the end. Yeah, you felt that shift. Made the hound terrifying, absolutely,

17:27but also deeply sympathetic. You could hear the humanity beneath all that gruffness and rage. Yeah.

17:32A masterful performance. Okay, now for a master manipulator.

17:36Peter Baelish. Littlefinger. The spider, who ultimately wove his own noose, climbed from the

17:43mud to the moon door on basically just lies and whispers. Littlefinger. His core wound,

17:49sources really emphasize this, it was a gargantuan inferiority complex. Basically this deep-seated

17:55feeling of inadequacy, of worthlessness, stemming from his low birth, and critically,

17:59his unrequited love for Catelyn Stark. It was all driven by rejection and humiliation.

18:04And his whole game, his entire life, it wasn't really about power in the end,

18:07was it? It was about chaos. That's such a key contradiction for him. Exactly.

18:11A master strategist, undone by his own desperate need for validation. A whisperer who, through his

18:17schemes, was essentially screaming for recognition by causing chaos. He loved the climb. He loved the

18:22intricate schemes. He absolutely thrived in chaos and destruction, genuinely believing it created the

18:27opportunities he needed to ascend. But that enduring unrequited love for Catelyn. Yeah. Ironically,

18:33that was the engine of his downfall. He realized way too late that even the smartest players lose

18:38when they forget the most basic rules, especially about who they're playing against. He taught us

18:43manipulation can be an art form, sure, but his final gasp, that was the sound of his ladder breaking

18:49right under him. Aidan Gillen was just chillingly good. He could make a simple smirk seem more dangerous

18:55than an entire army. Oh yeah. Made Littlefinger this captivatingly charismatic puppet master.

19:00Yeah. Made whispers feel like thunder. A terrific tasting.

19:04Okay, our next character is Varys, the eunuch who knew too many secrets. No name, no face,

19:10no declared loyalty, but he often seemed to have the truth. Varys, his core wound was clearly the

19:16profound trauma of his emasculation and a past steeped in just brutal poverty and manipulation.

19:22Those early experiences just shaped his entire worldview. And his contradictions are fascinating.

19:27He whispered in the ears of kings and queens always seemed three steps ahead,

19:30yet his ultimate weakness was maybe believing he could actually control information. That knowledge

19:35was absolute power. He was an intriguer, yes, but for what he genuinely seemed to believe was the

19:41greater good of the realm. A survivor who was ultimately willing to sacrifice everything,

19:47including himself, for that ideal. His power was, undeniably, information. He served the realm not

19:53out of personal ambition it seemed, but because he deeply remembered what it felt like to have zero

19:58power over his own fate. His moral ambiguity came from his willingness to sacrifice individuals for

20:04that perceived greater good. He taught us that true power often lies in knowing what others want to hide,

20:10and that sometimes the best rulers are the ones who refuse to rule at all. His integrity, even facing

20:16death, was really remarkable. Conleth Hill was just brilliant. He turned silence into the loudest weapon.

20:22He really did. Brought this captivating mix of seeming benevolence and ruthless pragmatism to Varys,

20:27made his silence feel incredibly noble. A subtle, powerful performance. All right, let's move to a

20:32character whose loyalty was his defining trait, maybe even to his detriment. Jorah Mormont, the knight who

20:39loved a dragon queen. Disgraced lord, spy, father figure, and, well, kind of a fool for love. Jorah.

20:46Yeah, his core wound was that enduring humiliation from his past crimes, selling those poachers into

20:52slavery. And then, woven into that, was the constant gnawing ache of loving Daenerys, a queen who mostly saw

21:00him just as a loyal advisor. Exile really defined him for so long. And that gave him such poignant

21:06contradictions, didn't it? His grayscale, that horrible disease, almost became a metaphor for him.

21:12Always half alive, half loved, half forgiven. That's a great way to put it. A slaver in his

21:16past who came to worship a liberator. A knight who found this strange, terminal grace in his unwavering

21:22devotion. He followed Dany across treacherous seas, through countless wars, knowing deep down she'd

21:28likely never love him back the way he wanted. His love was pure in its devotion, yeah, but also

21:33poisoned by being unrequited. It was selfless, and at times, self-destructive. He ultimately died

21:38protecting the woman who had given his fractured life meaning. He taught us that loyalty often looks

21:43like staying when everyone else has perfectly good reasons to leave. And that unrequited love,

21:47at its most profound, can sound like an epic ballad. Ian Glenn's portrayal was just incredibly moving.

21:53He really made that unrequited love sound like a grand epic ballad, conveyed such quiet strength and

21:59heartbreaking devotion, made Jorah's longing feel almost holy. You felt every bit of it. Next up,

22:05a character who truly defied expectations. Samwell Tarly. The coward who was surprisingly braver than

22:13many knights, seemed afraid of everything battle. His terrifying father, even the dark. Samwell, yeah,

22:20his core wound was the deep abuse and disdain from his father, Randall Tarly, who just saw him as this

22:26profound disappointment. That shaped so much of his self-image, didn't it? It really did. Yet his

22:31contradictions are so inspiring. His books, not a sword, became his weapon. His gentle heart was his

22:36shield. He was, by his own admission, a coward. But he ends up saving the world with a book. A gentle soul

22:42who somehow manages to kill a white walker. He faced them all, not with brawn, but with brains and

22:46compassion. Because the world, frankly, needed someone kind enough to save it. He didn't win

22:51wars with a sword. He won something much harder. He made the world worth fighting for. Beautifully put.

22:56He became the chronicler of the Great War, didn't he? Proving the pen can be mightier than the sword,

23:01because it outlasts the swordsman. His story teaches us that courage isn't the absence of fear.

23:07It's that quiet, persistent will to just read one more page, learn one more truth.

23:13John Bradley brought such genuine vulnerability and surprising strengths to Samwell. He really did

23:18prove that courage isn't about not being afraid, but about the will to read one more page. He made

23:24kindness feel revolutionary in that brutal world. He really did. A wonderful character arc.

23:29Finally, let's tackle one of the most agonizing and ultimately maybe redemptive journeys.

23:33Theon Greyjoy. The prince who lost himself completely. Hostage, traitor, and for so long,

23:40just a truly broken thing. Reek. Theon. Yeah, his core wound was that profound sense of abandonment by

23:46his biological father, Balon Greyjoy. That led to this deep identity crisis, this desperate, almost

23:51obsessive yearning for acceptance from his birth family. And the brutal torture he endured later,

23:56ironically, shattered the very lies he'd built up about who he was. His contradictions are just

24:01heartbreaking and so central to his whole arc. His name was Reek before it was Theon again. He betrayed

24:08the Starks, yet he died fighting bravely for them, like a true Stark in the end. A prince who only found

24:15real royalty in that final sacrifice. His betrayal of Winterfell in his twisted logic was his desperate

24:21attempt to finally come home, to earn his birth family's approval. He lost absolutely everything,

24:27his identity, his body, his sanity. And in the end, he died trying desperately to remember who he was and

24:33to protect the family that had actually raised him. His arc was just agony, slowly, painfully

24:38transforming into absolution. He teaches us that redemption is possible, even when forgiveness from

24:44others isn't guaranteed. And that family, it isn't always who you're born to, sometimes it's who you

24:49ultimately choose to die for. Alfie Allen's performance was just gut-wrenching. He turned that smirk into a

24:54scream, and eventually that scream into this powerful, quiet redemption. Incredible range.

25:00Delivered such a raw, visceral performance that made brokenness feel incredibly like hope by the very

25:05end. Absolutely unforgettable. So after journeying through all these fractured souls of Westeros,

25:13what does it all mean for you, the listener? Because as our sources really show, these aren't just

25:17stories from some distant fantasy realm. Right. Here's where it gets really personal, doesn't it?

25:22Each one of these 18 souls, from Jon Snow carrying that burden of duty to Theon Greyjoy's harrowing

25:28search for identity, they act like powerful mirrors. They reflect our own very real battles,

25:35our own hidden scars, our own sort of universal hunger for power, for love, for meaning in our

25:40everyday lives. And if we connect that to the bigger picture, the lasting legacy of Game of

25:45Crones isn't really just about melted thrones or broken wheels, is it? It's about these eternal character

25:50types, these struggles, that somehow find a way to live inside us. They prove that even in the deepest

25:55darkness, the human spirit, in all its terrifying complexity and contradictions, it just burns on.

26:01So as you think about this deep dive we've taken, maybe consider this question for yourself.

26:06In your own life, which of these Westerosi souls do you find maybe secretly living inside you,

26:12reflecting your own unique path through the, well, the complex game of life.
