‘I will let myself be consumed by maggots before mocking the family name and naming you the heir to Casterly Rock’ It’s not the same now they can’t all rile Jon about being a bastard and mock Sam’s lack of luck with the ladies. I miss the times when Sam and Jon were part of a dysfunctional band of brothers. It was entertaining to meet Tormund Giantsbane and Ciaran Hinds brought an interesting toughness to Rayder but I could live without another scene in which Ygritte tells Jon how great it is to be young, stroppy and free. As a tactic it was a little disorientating, although that could just be because I never love the scenes Beyond the Wall as much as I want to. We were dropped straight into where we left off at the end of season two with poor Sam on the run and the White Walkers on the wander (the episode’s title, Valar Dohaeris or “All men must serve”, is the correct response to the phrase Valar Morghulis or “All men must die”, which was the title of the final episode of season two).

That said, this didn’t really feel like a season opener.

GAME OF THRONES SEASON 2 EPISODE 10 PLUS
By focusing predominantly on those storylines, plus events in King’s Landing, David Benioff and DB Weiss largely avoided the choppy pacing of last season, allowing the story to unfold at a more sedate pace.
GAME OF THRONES SEASON 2 EPISODE 10 SERIES
Appropriately enough for a series opener, episode one was all about journeys – we watched Jon head to Mance Rayder’s camp, Davos make his way back to Dragonstone and Dany arrive at the slave city of Astapor. ‘We have to warn them, or before winter is done you and everyone you’ve ever known will be dead’ As ever, we are going to (hopefully) avoid book spoilers as well.Ĭlick here to catch up with our episode blogs for seasons one and two. Spoiler alert: Don’t read on if you haven’t watched the first episode of Game of Thrones season three (HBO, Sunday Sky Atlantic, Monday).
