Game of thrones the north remembers

Will destiny smile at her and she'll escape? Jon Snow and the brothers reach Craster's. And like they say "there are no laws beyond the wall". Nice scene too with the Old Bear. Arya follows Yoren north as an orphan boy, that continues to show the incredible strength in this young and female character. We were all hoping to see Daenerys conquer half of Essos, but the truth is that the dragons are babies, the Red Waste is an awful desert and she is the queen of a bunch of homeless starving dirty souls.

Also great female character that steals the scenes when she appears. With this set forward it is clear to the viewers that we can expect anything in this season. Pretty much like life itself, unpredictable. Joffrey sucks. Right where Season 1 left off. And with the winter people apparently we are moving into winter. At least Tyrion is letting his sister know how terrible she is.

Joffrey becomes king and the whole world goes to crap, except for Jon Snow and the winter people. Just stating the obvious. This Craster dude is more messed up than Cersei. At least he informed Jon Snow about all the people that are going to attack them from all directions. Stannis seems crazy, so he'll fit in just fine. Of course he has a crazy woman behind him. My money is on Robb Stark with the Jon Snow ace in his back pocket to win this one.

At least Stannis let everyone know Joffrey is an inbred. Robb was at least raised well. And Arya is bound for Jon Snow if she can make it. Things are looking up for the Starks at least. Things were also looking up for Drogo as well. Joffrey is on a power trip. He really needs to be killed. The story continues, and sometimes it turns not too interesting or exciting, but other times there are things to think about, like the big responsibility for Rob Stark to command an entire army, and he looks weak, not too strong to choose decisions.

Even his decisions appear to be rushy, like he is not too sure about what he's doing. Despite being younger than him, he behaves like a little tyrant, and even his mother is kind of afraid of his actions. Good acting of the actor. Finally, there's an analogy between a woman who has made up a religion to convert Stannis and his people, and Christianity. Good metaphor of how people are able to abandon the religion of their ancestors in exchange of the mystic and the sensual.

When I first saw Game of Thrones a little over a year ago, I didn't not read any of the books. But when Ned's head was chopped off, Joffery wasn't the true heir and Robb has crowned himself as The King in the North, I couldn't wait any longer. So I decided to read the books. Now I'm watching this show from a different perspective and I am still amazed how well this episode was played out.

With Ned Stark dead, there is no real center role to keep everything together. Even though Tyrion played by Peter Dinklage who won an Emmy and Golden Globe for Supporting Actor last year is now considered the overall fan favorite, he still fits in the supporting actor role; and it's better that way. The season will jump around a lot from Daenerys and her dragons to Robb Stark and his ongoing war against the Lannisters.

For those who had problems remembering plot and characters from Season 1 might want a note pad handy - because it doesn't get any easier in Season 2. The season premiere was all about showing where everyone is. I loved how it opened; they show King Joffery and much of a monster he has become by nearly drowning a knight in wine. I also loved that Tyrion is finally in King's Landing serving as Hand of the King that his sister, Queen Cersei, is not too happy about.

Across the Narrow Sea, the episode showed Daenerys and her dragons heading east for shelter or civilization. While we were only able to see on dragon, it looked beautifully made. Robb Stark, the King in the North, sends his peace terms to King's Landing and wants the North to be separate from the Kingdom forever.

We also see his wolf, that has grown since we have last seen it, test the imprisoned Jamie Lannister. The episode also shows Jon Snow north of the wall and we are told that a new king has also risen beyond the wall.

The episode shows some new faces. Stannis Baratheon, only mentioned in Season 1, finally comes on screen during a ritual that dealt with burning the old gods for the new God of Light that a sorceress, Melisandre, is performing. Stannis has declared himself the rightful heir to the Iron Throne and declares war on King Joffery.

Yes, the episode is full of information. They throw a lot at you and since this is only a ten episode season, it's required to show so much information. Having said that, they did a marvelous job of bringing the book to the TV screen. The little game between Cersi and Littlefinger also known as Lord Baelish was tremendous and shows what power really is.

The ending with all of King Robert's bastard sons was beautifully done. Though I wish we could have seen more Arya who only appears before the credits role , everything else about it was fantastic. This is a page book they are trying to squeeze into ten episodes. So far, the show is doing beautifully.

I can't wait to see how everything else is played out. Even though I have read the book, I am still eager to "see" what happens next. Finally,the wait is over for HBO brilliant and fantastic Game Of Thrones second season but which is any good or even better. Last season shocked me in every way and this one starts very well although I believe not as well as the last, but this show already proved itself to me and continues to progress its story very well.

Trivia This episode marks the introduction of Dubrovnik, Croatia, as a filming location for King's Landing. However, according to show-runners David Benioff and D. Weiss , the Dubrovnik location was so stunning and fit King's Landing so well that very little CGI was needed in many of the background exterior scenes.

Dubrovnik was retained as a filming location for every season thereafter, with other locations in Croatia also used for a variety of different places in the series.

Top review. He drinks first and hands the cup to her. Melisandre is aware of what Cressen is doing, but smiling she drinks anyway and is unaffected by the poison, and Cressen dies in vain. Robb confronts Jaime with his direwolf. Robb receives the letter and interrogates the captive Jaime about his reasons for crippling Bran. Jaime reveals nothing and attacks Robb's decision to keep him in his mobile camp rather than with one of his bannermen as demonstrating a lack of trust.

Robb asserts his faith in his men and his concern at the lengths House Lannister would go to in order to free Jaime. His direwolf Grey Wind is almost fully grown and menaces Jaime during the questioning.

Robb sends his prisoner Alton Lannister to King's Landing with peace terms. His demands include the release of his sisters, the return of his father's remains along with the remains of all those who served him, and the recognition of the North as a free and independent kingdom.

Theon Greyjoy appeals to Robb to send him to Pyke to seek an alliance with his father Balon citing their need for a fleet in order to attack King's Landing. Catelyn counsels against putting trust in Balon because of his history of rebellion.

She asks Robb to consider exchanging Jaime for his sisters. She then asks to return to her younger sons at Winterfell but Robb tasks her with seeking an alliance with Renly and sends Ser Rodrik Cassel instead to Winterfell. Daenerys Targaryen leads her diminished khalasar east into the Red Waste to avoid her rivals.

She is surrounded by powerful enemies who Ser Jorah tells her will kill her and take her dragons. The deadly emptiness of the Red Waste is her only option. She struggles to make her dragons eat what little meat she has, and her people face starvation. Her beloved white mare , her first gift from Khal Drogo , dies prompting her to halt the march and send three of her bloodriders in three different directions to scout for sustenance and refuge.

The Conclave has met, considered reports from maesters all over the Seven Kingdoms, and declared this great summer done at last. The longest summer in living memory. If it lasts any longer Tyrion Lannister : "You brought this on yourself. Cersei Lannister : "I've done nothing. You did nothing when your son called for Ned Stark's head. Now the entire North has risen up against us. You failed. That bit of theater will haunt our family for a generation.

Do you understand we're losing the war? But I know people, and I know that our enemies hate each other almost as much as they hate us. And if the King listens to what I say, the King might just get his uncle Jaime back. That is your one redeeming quality; that and your cheekbones. The Starks love their children too, and we have two of them.

What, in a puff of smoke? We had three Starks to trade. You chopped one's head off and let another escape. Father would be furious. Must be hard for you Cersei : "I heard a song once, about a boy of modest means, found his way in the home of a very prominent family. He loved the eldest daughter.

Sadly, she had eyes for another. Petyr : "When boys and girls live in the same home, awkward situations can arise. Sometimes, I've heard, even brothers and sisters develop certain affections.
