Game of Thrones Season 5 Episode 1 Review [SPOILER ALERT!!!]

I know it has been a while since i lasted posted as i have just been busy trying to get in as many hours at work as possible but what better way to get back into things with the season premiere of GAME OF THRONES i have literally been counting down the days pretty much since the end of last season for the new season. I just can't seem to find a show the captivates my attention so much as this does and this is partly down to the fact that if you don't actually pay any attention you will get completely lost and on the other hand the story lines are so brilliant and unique compared to a lot of other shows out there.

If you can't tell from the heading off this blog it going to contain a lot of spoilers so if you haven't watched it yet, its probs for the best if you don't want the episode ruined. I think i am just going to do a brief summary of the end of last season which involves a dragon on the loose, two of the characters of to new lands, the battle at the wall and Bran Stark finding some tree.

The episode starts with  a flash back to Cersei's childhood where she meets a psychic in the woods who predicts her future. In Kings Landing Tywin Lanisters funeral is about to take place and Cersei and Jaime are at odds after Jaime let Tyrion escape.

Daenerys has a mysterious group going around killing the unsullied, as she tries to govern the people she has tried to rescue and be a Queen. Jon Snow is helping train the remaining men of the Nights Watch with Stanis Baratheon wanting the Wildlings to join his army to take on the battle for the iron throne as Stanis tried to get Jon Snow to convince Mance Rayder to join Stanis's army.

Tyrion is out of his box with Lord Varys who is trying to convince Tyrion to help him save the seven kingdoms by putting Daenerys on the iron throne.

The only character that i really wanted to see is Arya because she is by far one of the best characters on the show not to bothered that we didn't see much of Bran though.

All in all though the episode didn't have any big action sequences it is slowly building up and tying up some loose ends from the end of the last season.

Can't wait for next weeks episode where it looks like we will see Arya and see the first glimpses of Dawn and Oberyns brother.

Sneak Peak at next weeks episode below

Game of Thrones Season 3

Season 3 so far has been my favourite by far with all the twists and turns and just not knowing what is going to happen next or who is going to die.

The battle for the Iron Throne still rages with Robb Stark and his army fighting in the north, Stannis Baratheon is regrouping after the defeat at Black Water Bay, Tywin Lannister is back in Kings Landing taking up the role of the Hand of the King whilst they plan the biggest royal wedding ever between Joffrey  and Margaery Tyrell , Theon Greyjoy is being held hostage and tortured and across the Narrow sea Daenerys is building her army and freeing slaves on her journey to reclaim the seven kingdoms along with her dragons (I really want a dragon or a dire wolf).

Whilst the war wages on, Jon Snow is earning the trust of the Wildlings to help them over the wall and to attack Castle Black with out them knowing that he is still part of the NightsWatch. Bran and Rickon are on the road to Jon at Castle Black when they meet the Reed siblings who lead them onto a new path. Arya Stark is trying to get back to her family but always seems to run into new obstacles.

Tyrion Lannister played by Peter Dinklage is by far my favourite character and steals every scene that he is in, he is a brilliant character and the dynamics between him, his sister Cersei and his father Tywin is really entertaining. Especially when he finds out that he is going to be married of to Sansa Stark now that Joffrey is marrying Margaery.

There were a few surprise faces popping up among the cast that kept me wondering who they were, because i recognized them but i just couldn't place it so I IMDB'd it and got my answers the most annoying was Ramsey Snow, Theon's torturer, who is, if you are British will recognize as Simon from the E4 drama Misfits, who i find a brilliant and sadistic character.

This season has been brilliant and is gearing up for what i hope is going to be a fantastic season 4 even though i already know one of the biggest deaths thanks to Facebook spoilers but i am still looking forward to it.

I am looking forward to being caught up with the current series and excited to see what is going to happen next.
