The title of the episode refers to the return of Jaime Lannister, who after a five episode absence, is back with a vengeance. This is the section of the story, in the middle end, where things move very rapidly.
The upcoming Tim Burton remake reminded me that I wanted to rewatch the 1991 Dark Shadows revival. I saw some of it at release, but being a lover of all things vampire, felt it my duty to revisit…
“The Old Gods and the New.” As usual, plot lines twist and knot, but now the setup is mostly accomplished, and things move very rapidly here in the middle of the season. Plus we meet Ygritte!
If last week’s theme was torture, this week’s is revenge. This is a very solid episode that really moves everything along. In fact, we have most of the threads, if only briefly.
This week is pure tension and creep. Plus, lots of new developments. Torture seems a major theme of this episode. Things grow dark. Very dark. And I’m liking it.
Best episode of the season yet. Hard choices for all the characters. While the plot is great, it’s the strength of the human dynamics that really make this show so fun.
After suffering through the week, Sunday night, Game of Thrones, night arrives. After last week’s tease, we open with Arya (finally). And the pace of things start to heat up as we see pieces put in place last week, begin to move.
It is with great relish and anticipation that I sat down to devour the first episode of Season 2 of Game of Thrones — and it didn’t disappoint. This is an establishing segment where we rotate through the players and put into place who is where on the board.
HBO has released six 30 second clips from “The North Remembers” which is the first episode of season 2. Spoiler alert! And the show is only 2 days away. Woot! But maybe, like me, you can’t resist.
As we close in on Season 2, HBO has released more trailer goodness. This is one of the best yet, featuring all sorts of footage from the new season, and cut into a more comprehensible story arc.
HBO has released more trailer goodness (2/24/12). This is one of the best yet, featuring all sorts of footage from the new season.
As we ramp into GOT season 2, HBO releases yet more and more goodies. Here we have one of those overwhelmingly positive video previews – but with lots of good footage. Enjoy.
Another interesting production video on filming beyond the wall (Iceland).
Part of this show’s strength is the standout character writing and acting. Season 3 starts out building this character driven momentum and then races through the second half to end with… literally… a bang.
HBO has pushed out another “behind the scenes” that features filming in Croatia.
I can’t resist a little continued geek out and bringing you a video on the making of Renly Baratheon’s armor for season 2 of Game of Thrones.
Yet more Game of Thrones goodies. This one details the effort of capturing the look from the Belfast (Northern Ireland for the geographically challenged) set.
The nerdgasm continues! HBO released another Game of Thrones Season 2 teaser.
