Westeros certainly feels much more like a world made up of Seven Kingdoms this year with a vast geographical spread boasting some unique art and authentic set design. The illustrious history for the various houses continues to be explored with the mystery around the White Walkers and the coming apocalypse becoming ever more realized. All of these plot lines include the same amount of political intrigue, plot twists, action and intricately woven storytelling that made the first season so endearing with higher stakes than ever before. There’s no denying that the second season of Game Of Thrones has an awful lot going on. With battles and wars raging all across the land, the season ends in a blaze of sickly green fire and bloodshed in a defining, epic battle for Kings Landing and dominance of the throne. The Greyjoys snub his offer, instead seeing opportunity in the chaos to try and reclaim the North for themselves. Later on, Jon finds himself face to face with the infamous wildlings as they venture into the vast unknown and one in particular, Ygritte ( Rose Leslie), does a pretty good job of planting seeds of doubts at the heart of Jon’s moral compass.Īccompanying these plot lines is wild card Theon Greyjoy ( Alfie Allen) who sees his allegiance questioned as he returns to his homeland, the Iron Islands, to try and gain fealty for King Robb from his biological father. In contrast to the dry, choked desert surrounding Qarth, north of the Wall Jon ( Kit Harington) continues his arduous journey with the Night’s Watch into the blistering cold where they find refuge with Craster ( Robert Pugh), a solitary man surrounded by his own daughters whom he beds and marries to keep his bloodline pure.
Whilst the brothers wrestle for control of their forces, the scattered Stark children are split up and try to survive whilst their older brother Robb ( Richard Madden) continues his crusade to march south and meet the Lannisters head on in battle.Īcross the Narrow Sea, Daenarys ( Emilia Clarke) and her newly hatched dragons continue to gain followers and her slow journey to claim the Iron Throne sees her take refuge in the strange city of Qarth for vast periods of this season, surrounded by schemers and shady characters. As news spreads of Joffrey’s illegitimate bloodline to the Baratheons, various powers rise up around Westeros to fight for control of the Iron Throne. Stannis Baratheon ( Stephen Dillane), King Robert’s biological brother, embraces a strange God called the Lord Of Light with a little help from red witch Melisandre ( Carice van Houten) whilst his brother Renly ( Gethin Anthony) and his Queen Margarey (Natalie Dormer) plot to seize the throne for themselves thanks to their allegiance with the Baratheon Army. With the world of Westeros still reeling from the shock of Ned Stark’s (Sean Bean) death at the hands of tyrannical bastard Joffrey Lannister ( Jack Gleeson), the second season picks up right where it left off with the Kingdoms in turmoil and the fate of the crown hanging in the balance.
