It seems like yesterday that "Game of Thrones" fans were cozying up on their couches, bowl of buttery popcorn in hand, preparing themselves for the approaching winter. At that point in time there was an entire season of "Game of Thrones" ahead of them. The future looked bright. There were no gray clouds on the horizon. That was then, however, and this is now. Sunday will host the season finale of "Game of Thrones," and in the wake of last week's shocking Stark bloodbath, the fans are dying for more. It's unclear how the season will wrap up all its loose ends in just one remaining episode, so it looks like season 3 may end on a major cliffhanger, which comes as no surprise at all.
The finale episode is called "Mhysa," which comes from the Low Valyrian language spoken in Slaver's Bay and means 'Mother.' There are several key mothers in the series, the most prominent being Daenerys, the mother of dragons, and Cersei Lannister, mother of the vicious young king, Joffrey. The official episode synopsis reads as follows:
Joffrey challenges Tywin. Bran tells a ghost story. In Dragonstone, mercy comes from strange quarters. Dany waits to see if she is a conqueror or a liberator.
The northerners catch wind of what happened to Robb Stark, their king, and plan their revenge against House Frey and the Lannisters. Jaime Lannister will make his return after being absent from last week's episode as his father, Tywin Lannister, goes head to head with the young tyrant, King Joffrey. If anyone is strong and vicious enough to get through to the little brute, it's Tywin.
The season 3 finale of "Game of Thrones" will air this Sunday on HBO. It's been a short season, but an exciting one at that, and we can't wait to see how it all comes to a close.
