Season 3 of Game of Thrones brought a few surprises. Season 2 exploded the playing board with\u00a0six\u00a0kings south of the wall, and one to the north. This made things a little confusing, but luckily things start to\u00a0tighten up in season 3. By the end of\u00a0this season two\u00a0players\u00a0are\u00a0out of the game and another is really no threat. This made the story easier to follow.<\/p>\n
The author of the books has a reputation for killing off characters and he does, although so far not my favorites. I’m still cheering on The Dragon Lady and The Imp in particular. I wrote that at the end of\u00a0season 2, The Imp had wound his way into my heart as my favorite. Well, in this season The Dragon Lady is back!\u00a0Her coolness and poise as she casually freed thousands of people from slavery won me over. Plus, she’s got dragons. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
I’m still very fond of The Imp, and hope he will\u00a0do something cool in the coming season. I felt like he spent most of season 3 feeling sorry for himself.<\/p>\n
There were one or two episodes without naked people in them. That was nice. (Honestly, I wish HBO wouldn’t revel so much in the fact that they can do that. Just because you can do something, doesn’t mean you should.)<\/p>\n
I’m bored by Grayjoy and wish he would die already. I’m not even sure what purpose he serves in the plot.<\/p>\n
Overall, I’m eagerly awaiting the release of season 4 on DVD (and may not be willing to wait\u00a0that long). Next year, I hope to watch season 5 alongside everyone else.<\/p>\n
My hopes for season 4 (don’t tell me if I’m wrong): Joffrey dies. Grayjoy dies. The Dragon Lady crosses the sea. The\u00a0Whitewalkers come south and start causing real problems.<\/p>\n
At this point, I recommend this series to fantasy lovers, even if, like me, they couldn’t get into the books.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
