Game Of Thrones Season 2 Preview
HBO have released a video preview for the second season of Game Of Thrones. The preview doesn’t show any scenes in particular, but it does show off a lot of new characters. In the clip new characters such as Stannis, Melissandre, Davos Seaworth, and Aeron Greyjoy (Damphair) can be seen, along with the now King Renly, who looks like he got a serious make-over and is now rocking a beard. Still a long time until next April though.

Game Of Thrones Intro tells the history of Westeros
The very cool and stylish credits intro for Game Of Thrones (which it won an Emmy for.) does a very good job of showing viewers where the action of the particular episode is going on, but it also tells something else if you look at it closely.In the intro there are bands of metal surrounding a sun which show the main house sigils, the wolf of Stark, the stag of Baratheon, the lion of Lannister, and the dragon of Targaryen. The first metal band one shows a Dragon attacking a city and mountain (Targaryen invasion of Westeros), the next shows a stag, a lion and a wolf attacking the dragon (Robert’s Rebellion), and finally it shows a lion and a wolf kneeling to the stag (Robert Baratheon becoming King). Very cool.

Lady Melisandre has been cast as Dutch actress Carice van Houten. In the books, Melisandre is a mysterious priestess of R’hllor in service to Stannis Baratheon. Melisandre has prophetic powers that give her partial knowledge of future events. She counsels Stannis, helping him claim the Iron Throne.

Game Of Thrones: Episode 10 “Fire And Blood” Preview
Game Of Thrones Season Finale
The season finale of Game Of Thrones is coming next week, and after the shocking ending of the last episode it’s going to be good. Poor Ned is dead, all those HBO advertisements with Sean Bean’s face on them are now useless. But they’re still plenty of other characters still alive. How will Catelynn and Robb handle the news? What’s going on with Khal Drogo and his weird “blood magic” ritual? Who knows. Well, all the people who have read the books actually.
