The Wars to Come

A lot of new character's purpose, story are moving forward and building up to the War 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.

Cersei comes to the funeral of her father Tywin Lannister and blames her brother Jaime for his death. Tyrion arrives at his destination transported in a wooden box and Lord Varys discloses that Jaime had asked him to save his brother. White Rat is murdered in a brothel and Daenerys asks Grey Warm to find the killer. She visits her dragons in the dungeons but they do not respect her. Jon Snow is training a teenager, but Melisandre brings him to talk to Stannis Baratheon. He assigns Snow to convince Mance Rayder to bend his knees for him and make his people fight with his army. Will Mance accept the deal?

After several months waiting for the return of "Game of Thrones", the beginning of this season is disappointing. There is nothing important in this episode showing a total lack of inspiration of the writers and director. My vote is seven.

Title (Brazil): "The Wars to Come"

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.

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. ------------------
