In this episode of Shelf To Screen, Joe, Jen, and Tom review episode 2 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 two episodes, but we'll talk adaptation choices, including the size of that...puppet. Joe ponders the politics of kindness! Jen misremembers a quote! Tom still can't remember names! All that, plus they're teasing that "Office" crossover, aren't they?
