Season 2. Episode 1. The North Remembers
Deyeneris continues to walk through the desert with the remnants of his people, mostly former slaves. The horses gradually die. They know that dragons need to be fed with meat, but do not understand what, because they do not eat horse meat (obviously — human). She sends three warriors to three sides to find a place to live. The Army of the Night Watch goes further and stops at a halt at a strange savage, sort of like a former sentinel. He tells terrible things, going far to the north. Robb Stark continues a successful military campaign, he is sworn in by more and more people, and he sends messengers to all ends to bargain about peace and alliance. However, not everything is so rosy. The middle and younger brothers of Robert Baratheon — Stannis and Renly also declared themselves kings, collected unthinkable armies and are preparing to fight on all fronts. Stannis Baratheon, moreover, sends out a letter to all the high lords explaining what Ned Stark has dug up about the pedigree of the Cersei children, and why the Lannisters executed him and are trying to destroy his family. Now everyone knows everything, but not everyone believes yet. In addition, in his lands a strange monotheistic cult is born, very similar to Christianity. The Littlefinger hints to Cersei that he knows better than everyone who is Joffrey, doing it in his style, but she shows him that if you have a mind, it is nothing against brute force. Joffrey continues to commit outrages. For example, he arranges gladiatorial fights in his honor. And after everyone found out whose son he was, he began to destroy all the bastards of Robert Baratheon (it is not clear why, none of them can claim the throne, except that no one has seen the color from the hair). Death was escaped only by the blacksmith, who left north, but was already sent for. In general, it amazes the readiness of the soldiers to obey the insane juvenile idiot, making for him the most dirty and dishonest work. It is clear that a person has a simple concept of law: «The right is my lowest desires and lust». Such here continent has got close — with pleasure to kill infants is not given to everyone. It's good that Tyrion came and declared himself to be the Right Hand, which caused a tooth grinding of both Cersei and Joffrey.
In the first season, several interesting personalities were killed, which were written off from the account and monitoring. But in the new season new faces come into play, which either were absent in the first season, or played some minor roles. So it is very necessary to look after Theon Greyjoy, the nearest colleague Robb Stark and the pupil of his father. It seems that a very slippery type, on his mind and in general the Stark family, he has to wait for the most terrible substitute — he remembers the reason for his appearance in their family and seems to hate them all, hiding and accumulating his hatred under the guise of love. Whore Shay, which Tyrion found in his father's military camp, seems that she is not whore at all, but some incomprehensible girl who will show herself yet. Priestess of Rglor Melisandra, who planted the cult of Lord of Light in the lands of Stannis Baratheon, will possible control Stannis himself and all his actions. Finally, the blacksmith Gendry is quite a dark horse. He will show himself very much from some very incomprehensible side.
