Game of Thrones is back!!!

Yup. I’ve just been able to watch the Season 4 premiere last night. I’ve been sick. VERY sick. I mean… I’ve been so sick I couldn’t watch the episode any sooner, so I guess you get the idea.

Let’s see. What’s up with our favorite characters after this long hibernation period?

Show starts with evil Tywin with a big sword. Is that Ice? WTF is he doing with Ice? OMG!!! He’s destroying Ice, you son of a b!tch!!! Noooooooooo!!! Ok. Cool opening scene. So, is it just me or the opening scene totally sets the mood and the new approach? The Lannisters, the baddies, are now running the show and erasing every Stark thing that’s left. I mean, they were EVERYWHERE on this episode.

Lannisters. Yes. Let’s see. Tywin is still being evil and running things. He melts Ice and forges 2 new swords of Valyrian steele. He gives one to Jaime, but when he refuses to quit the Kingsguard and go back to Casterly Rock, he disowns him. Ouch. Tough love. Oh, and Jaime got even more tough loving from his sis, who refused him. More ouch!

Tyrion wasn’t having a field day either. Shae is jealous of Sansa and Sansa is depressed (no wonder…). And, what’s worse, the Martell family has just arrived at King’s Landing for Joffrey’s wedding (joy, oh joy). But not the actual Prince, the 2nd son, Prince Oberyn Martell, who is known as The Red Viper, cuz he is super friendly with poison. And he hates Lannisters. With a vengeance. This is so getting interesting.

Meanwhile, Joffrey is still an ass, but he now is an ass with a statue. That was epic. His bride to be, Margaery Tyrell and her grandmother continue to be the baddest, awesomest chicks in the Seven Kingdoms.

Talking about chicks, Daenerys is marching on Meereen with a huge army. But the important thing is that Ser Jorah gets friend-zoned once again by Daario Naharis (a new one, though. He was recast. No more the long hair blonde dude, but a bearded brunette guy. Indistinguishable from all the others on this show).

So that’s on the South. On the North, we have Arya still with the Hound. And we don’t know if we want Arya to just hit the Hound on the head and run for dear life, or just team up with him. Truth is, Arya kills Polliver (the guy who had killed her friend and stole Needle from her. Remember him?). So yeah. She totally offs him. I’m so getting worried that I totally cheered a little girl become an accomplished killer….

Jon Snow is back at Castle Back but with some little problems, like the brothers wanting to part him from his head. But he saves himself by revealing all he knows. Apparently, he does know something after all.

Did you watch the season premiere? Did you like it?
