Game of thrones season 3 episode 1

WOOOOOOOOO! we are back in westoros and it feels so good. We are back for the the now super popular shows 3rd season premier. Who knew when I was staying at my moms house and in that dark room watching what was a unknown sword and shield series would be appointment Tv for non nerds. Any way lets get right down to it. This episode is pretty much a resetting of players and with that not much happened. This was fine as months away I felt rusty with the players and the game as I did not rewatch season 2 to get ready for season 3. I felt let me go in fresh and I am glad I did as if I didn't this episode would of moved to slow for me. The main issues such as the aftermath of the battle and the obvious winners(tyrion Lannister,Lady Tyrell) and losers(Tywin) and the continuing struggles of the dragon lady in far away lands were addressed nicely and timely. I also found the white walker story progressing well figuring how massive a tone shift it is from the rest of the other stories. i also liked how things moved along at a leisurly clip even though nothing really happened which is a huge accomplishment as this episode could of been really dull. I am a huge fan of Lady Tyrell as she is smoking hot(I have a thing for women who can maneuver treacherous situations deftly) I also like Cersei as her power fades due to the new woman in Joffereys life. Rounding up the episode was Tyrions being told in no uncertain terms his place in the Lannisters and Sansa making more stupid mistakes. I am gunning for next week when Bran and Tonks come back as well as Arya. I hope they continue the quality as there are to few shows that strive for and reach excellence. As always comment or email me with gripes or Ideas. Also programming Note I will be doing a late review of Dredd as the lovely Lena Headley is in that and I think It deserves some more great ink.
