Daenerys Targaryen has played Season 3 of HBO’s Game of Thrones to perfection thus far. She amassed an army and freed slaves in one swift stroke, and her march toward King’s Landing seems to be going without a hitch. Her arrogance and successful flashes of power won’t yield desired results forever, and the first roadblock in her mission may have already arrived.
In tonight’s episode of Game of Thrones, Daenerys will meet the Titan’s Bastard, also known as Mero. He should have a rocky relationship with Dany from the start and prove that freeing the slaves of Yunkai will not be an easy task for the Khaleesi.
The synopsis for tonight’s episode also tells us that Tyrion and Sansa will spend their first night together, and that a wedding will take place in King’s Landing. Sansa and Tyrion together should be good for a barrel full of laughs. The wedding referenced is expected to be that of King Joffrey Baratheon and Lady Margaery Tyrell.
Up north of the wall, Sam and Gilly will encounter an older gentlemen in the woods. Over at Dragonstone, Davos will demand proof from Melisandre. Keep in mind that Melisandre has returned from her recent journey with Gendry, King Robert’s bastard son. She now has the king’s blood that she sought, though what she does with it is what should be intriguing.
It’s hard to imagine that there will only be two episodes of Game of Thrones left this season after tonight’s. The second-to-last episodes of each season thus far have been some of the best of all. Let’s hope next Sunday’s episode lives up to the hype.
Game of Thrones: Season 3 episode 28 ‘Second Sons’ premieres tonight at 9/8c exclusively on HBO. Those with an HBO account have the option of watching a free live online streaming version of the episode via their computer, iPad/tablet or mobile device at HBOGo. HBO hasn’t offered a way to purchase HBOGo directly to bypass cable and satellite companies, at least not yet.
