"Game of Thrones" returns for it's fourth season Sunday night, April 6 as it promises to be more bloody and full of brutality.
The season picks up in the aftermath of the devastating wedding
reception from hell, which proved, in case it was still unclear to
anyone, that in the world crafted by novelist George R.R Martin in his
"A Song of Ice and Fire" fantasy series, no one is ever safe.
According to CNN, this season does not take long to heat up. In
King's Landing, brutal King Joffrey (Jack Gleeson) is due to be married
in an elaborate affair that will bring together a slew of characters,
some old and some new, to celebrate.
So, yes. A wedding in Westeros. What could possibly go wrong?
For one, siblings-with-benefits Jaime (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) and
Cersei (Lena Headey) are back together for the first time since Jaime
was captured, and partially butchered, in season three, with all the
awkwardness that entails.We've already seen that Tyrion (Peter Dinklage)
ends up in major trouble (what else is new?) and that new character
Oberyn Martell (Pedro Pascal) -- will be attending the joyous occasion
with less-than-love in his heart for the Lannisters.
As for our other main players:
Daenerys (Emilia Clarke), with an army of freed slaves at her back
and a trio of increasingly formidable dragons to keep in line, confronts
the promise, and pitfalls, of her ascent to true power.
After narrowly missing a longed-for reunion with her family, Arya
(Maisie Williams) and The Hound (Rory McCann) face what comes next. As
bits of her back story come together, Arya will become arguably season
four's first true scene stealer.
At The Wall, the coming war between the wildlings and the Night's
Watch simmers to a boil, with Jon Snow (Kit Harington) caught awkwardly
in the middle. Look for this conflict to spur some of the epic battle
scenes the series, and Martin's novels, are known for. And what of the
White Walkers?
