Summary:

Game of Thrones

Season 3

Episode 1: Valar Dohaeris

You had ONE job:
Sam disappoints. Again.

Ghost and the Night's Watch save the day.
With fire. Lots of fire.

Jon Snow openly kneels before the wrong Wilding Man. In a tent.  
You know nothing Jon Snow. 

Cersei is nice to Tyrion. Sort of.
Jumpy. Nervous. Edgy. Both of them.

The Game of Ships:
Is rather complicated. No wonder Shae doesn't understand the rules. Neither does Littlefinger. Or Ros. Or that guard watching.

Littlefinger and Sansa whisper sweet nothings while Ros and Shae compare strategy. Maybe that should be the other way around...

Anyway...
Sansa wants to leave Kings Landing. Littlefinger promises to help.

Ros warns Shae about him being a very, very bad man.
No one listens.

Davos is a jealous man:
Stannis is his. And his alone

Taunting Melisandre is always a mistake:
It either gets you sacrificed or behind bars.

Catelyn gets imprisoned:
Robb you ungrateful brat. That's your Mum.

Your wife is right Robb.
No. That doesn't sound right does it?

Those Dothraki sure don't travel well.
I wonder if projectile vomiting can be considered a weapon?

Dany wishes that her dragons would grow faster.
Jorah just wishes that she would kiss him all ready and go down below. Decks that is.

Tyrion and Tywin share a heart warming Father and Son moment
Did I say heart warming? I meant soul destroying.

Margaery manipulates popular opinion.
Charming children? Giving food?  Being nice? Margaery got game.

At dinner with Joff, Margaery and Loras, a cleavage distracted Cersei gets called old and out of touch.
No warm milk or biscuits for Joff at night any more. Spiked milk and biscuits for Margaery. Every night. Forever.

Meanwhile at Astapor...
Dany does...Negotiating?

For an impressive fighting force known as the Unsullied.
The most loyal, fierce and disciplined warriors. Ever.

In order to prove this someones nipple is removed.
Don't men need those? Ouch.

Dany mass-debates slave ownership with Jorah.
I'm not quite sure whether him calling her a 'fair master' is meant to be a pun or not. But anyway...

Misleadingly cute girls asking you to open their ball is never ever going to lead to good things...
Luckily that helpful hooded man is there to save the day and everything is fine. Until...

The Hooded Man reveals himself to Dany. No. Not like that.
Its Ser Barristan Selmy to the rescue. And he wishes to serve the Khaleesi. Jorah is not amused.

Off Jorah's not amused face...
End.

Well, well, well... Look whose back. Back again. And no I don't mean Barristan 'Obi-Wan Kenobi' Selmy. 
Game of Thrones is back. With a vengeance. Everyone is here, present and erect...Correct. As openings go this is pretty fine and a great forbearer of things to come.
