"Game of Thrones" is back and rolling. After such a long, agonizing wait for its return, the third season is already flying by. The second episode left fans with a lot of questions and may have left unversed "Game of Thrones" viewers a bit confused. The first two episodes have caught up with old characters, introduced others, and have set the foundation for the remainder of the season. Viewers have yet to receive their craved dose of vicious dragons and unforgiving bloodshed, but all of that's about to change.
Episode three, titled "Walk of Punishment," will feature Jaime Lannister (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) and Brienne (Gwendoline Christie) in the cold-hearted hands of the northmen. Brienne is helpless without her mighty sword, and although the preview hints that she's violated by the nasty northmen, we all know the brute strength of Brienne. She'll manage to escape grasp and bust some skulls, we hope. She has to.
The northmen have decided to take Jaime directly to Robb Stark (Richard Madden), but it's unclear what the King of the North will do with him upon his arrival. If the King's aggression gets the best of him, Jaime may never make it to Kings Landing, thus leaving Sansa Stark (Sophie Turner) to rot in the malicious little hands of King Joffrey (Jack Gleeson).
Meanwhile, tensions grow beyond the Wall. Jon Snow (Kit Harington) and the wildings aren't becoming the best of friends to say the least. In the preview, Mance Ryder (Ciaran Hinds) tries to have Jon thrown off the Wall to "see if crows can fly." Thing's aren't looking good for the Stark's bastard son, but like Brienne, he's sure to find his way out of such dire circumstances, perhaps sparking some bloodshed along the way.
Finally, fans will finally get what they've been waiting for all winter. The dragons are back. Daenerys (Emilia Clarke) returns, which means her dragons loom nearby, as she purchases 8,000 slave soldiers to fortify her army.
The new season of "Game of Thrones" has begun, now hopefully Dany's dragons can heat things up.
Check out the preview for episode three, "Walk of Punishment," below.
