Ladies and gentlemen, Sers and Squires, Lords and Ladies, Game of Thrones has returned. After an agonising year long wait, we’ve returned to Westeros to catch up with our favourite characters as the war for the Iron Throne continues. The last season saw Jon Snow join the Wildings, Daenerys assembled a new army and freed slaves, and the Starks met a tragic ending as they were betrayed by Walder Frey. So, what’s going on now?
Oberyn Martell has been introduced into the series, and that was quite an entrance he had. He told Tyrion of his hatred for the Lannisters, and his desire to kill Gregor Clegane for raping and murdering his sister. Already Tyrion is nervous, and by the way my lovely friend Anna describes Oberyn from the books, it seems we’re in for big stuff this season. But enough of new characters, there are still plenty main cast members who haven’t appeared yet. Bran, Littlefinger, Varys, Stannis, Davos, Theon, Ramsay and others didn’t appear this week, though some definitely will next week as previews have promised.
Overall, Two Swords was an excellent start to the season, opening new doors for the characters and showing us that this season is going to be amazing. Next week, Joffrey and Margery hold a wedding breakfast and Stannis loses his patience with Davos, so don’t miss it!
