Bad news for "Game of Thrones" fans everywhere. There are only two episodes remaining in season 3 and there's a two-week gap between last week's episode, "Second Sons," and the next, "The Rains of Castamere." To ease the pain, it looks like "The Rains of Castamere" could be the most dramatic, action packed episode yet. The official promo features vicious battle and conspiring enemies. Up to the point, season 3 has focused on the development of its characters as the armies recuperate in the aftermath of season 2's Battle of the Blackwater. But with only two episodes left, all that's about to change.
Although little has been revealed about the episode, it is named after The Rains of Castamere, unsurprisingly, which is the unofficial "anthem" referring to Lord Tywin Lannister's brutal victory over the rebellious House Reyne of Castamere and the destruction of the House at the end of their rebellion. It's normally sung as a reminder for those who dare cross Tywin Lannister, or any of the Lannisters for that matter. Here's the refrain.
"And who are you, the proud lord said,
that I must bow so low?
Only a cat of a different coat,
that's all the truth I know.
In a coat of gold or a coat of red,
a lion still has claws,
And mine are long and sharp, my lord,
as long and sharp as yours.
And so he spoke, and so he spoke,
that lord of Castamere,
But now the rains weep o'er his hall,
with no one there to hear.
Yes now the rains weep o'er his hall,
and not a soul to hear."
"The Rains of Castamere" will air Sunday, June 2 on HBO. Read the official synopsis below.
Robb presents himself to Walder Frey, and Edmure meets his bride. Jon faces his harshest test yet. Bran discovers a new gift. Daario and Jorah debate how to take Yunkai. House Frey joins with House Tully.
