In this episode of Shelf to Screen, Joe, Jen, and Tom review episode 1 of "A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms", and compare it to the George R. R. Martin novella "The Hedge Knight." No book spoilers past the first episode, but we'll talk adaptation choices, as well as compare it to other Game of Thrones adaptations. Tom wonders if there is another way to get females on the show! Joe enjoys apple puns! Jen wants more Punch and Judy! Are that laughing at us, or with us?
