The Wars to Come

Among many shortest sequences split in the episode, three draw my attention, firstly the whereabouts of the Kingslayer Tyrion Lannister who ends up at an port full safe at Pentos aided by Varys who has policy intentions over the future of the drunkard and prickly dwarf in near future.

At Meereen Daenerys is in trouble with the sudden murder of one Unsullied due he pays a visit of the brothel, something forbidden to them, also appears a petitioning about the comeback of fighting against free men, Daenarys refuses due it was a slave mortal games, otherwise will be the return of the primitive habits.

The mainly fact comes across at Castle Black where the King Stannis already receives the new about the death of the leader Tywn Lannister, in absence of it he decides be the right time to trigger a war, he asking for Jon Snow convinces the adamant Mancy Rayder kneel down at King Stannis and gather all savage tribes to fight for Stannis, what goes against his own principles, he denied under pain of death, whatever it may be.

Sadly along the series were losing many key characters, each season one here one there and the producers will making an everlasting replacing process, most probable it seems be the hidden secret of so undeniable success of the series.

Thanks for reading.

Resume:

First watch: 2022 / How many: 1 / Source: Blu-Ray / Rating: 8.5.

As RavenGlamDVDCollector, I am not really here for the story, No, I am that pseudo stage-door-Johnny bringing flowers for the actresses. But I must speak up, give credit where credit is also due.

Much of my contributions for IMDb is usually before having seen the entire episode, and I noticed that other reviewer going "disappointing start, nothing significant happens" and at about midway, I kinda saw it was down from the previous season, thought this bit of me having jumped (however belatedly) onto the GAME OF THRONES bandwagon, full fury and throng, well, now it's past the apex anyway, like other reviewers say, bah...

Fortunately though, turns out, not the case...

This show does something IMMENSELY right. Look, I'm here for the actresses. I joined up for the beauty of Emilia Clarke. GAME OF THRONES was suggested to me by a friend who showed me a sneak preview in the knowledge I'd flip my lid. You get the picture, I'm sure you do.

But I've recently had one of my few deviations in my reviews when I praised Peter Dinklage's performance in that episode last season, his confrontation in court with Tywin. I've just realized that something similar happened here. This is all about respect.

Mance Rayder wasn't even that much liked by myself up till now, but I'm glad to report that on a freezing cold winter's morning (I call it my GAME OF THRONES Winter Is Coming The Wall Sensurround), here I sit with tears in my eyes. Like Ser Allister, when the chips were down, this guy really showed how to fly the flag.

You will have to watch for yourself. I'm not giving the outcome away.

A powerful word is invoked here. Respect. This show, through sparse scenes with a vast multitude of characters, achieves greatness beyond what I could possibly convey. These characters, whether good or bad, that doesn't matter... They're destined to be immortal legends in this modern classic.

Coming from me, here for the actresses, much, much impressed by these stellar performances, this is the HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION.

So scr*w the other reviewer... :)

The young Cersei front to a witch. And Jon giving the peace to Mance. The desire of Stannis. And the dark misteries from Meereen. An episode about the future. But the words of witch are real significant for define Cersei preocupation for power. Not as ambition only but as way for survive.

This story starts from where it left, Tyrion coming out of the Wooden box, Cersei and Jamie feeling differently about Tyrion and their father's death. Everything expected happens to Mance Rayder, as John plays a sitting duck in settling the truce. I don't seem to fancy Khaleesi and the charmer Daario Naharis' relationship. It only weaken's the Dragons' Mother's charismatic character. (Probably that's the writers' intent).

'Littlefinger' Baelish and Lord Varys get a little more important in this one.

Overall it's a great episode, the next one should be about Arya Stark.

My Rating - 9/10 -------------------------------

Game of thrones directors have unique way of filming and showing the content. They film episodes in tandem and in parallel, showing say 3 stories in one episode and another 3 stories in next episode. This makes the show riveting and fresh and very new scene is about another character. ------------------

The episode starts off well, but to me it doesn't really pick up enough speed. I find it a good, but not great start of the new season.
