Fans can feel that winter is finally coming, now that the titles for the first three episodes of "Game of Thrones" season 5 have already been revealed. There is more to come but avid followers of the series can first take in and relish every clue on what awaits them in Westeros.
The first episode is titled "The Wars to Come," which is rather unclear. With the War of Five Kings drawing to a close, the title simply proposes that more quandaries loom over the land (not that this is a shocker though). But with Tywin Lannister gone, turmoil is felt by the Free Cities and Slavers Bay, and with White Walkers close to trespassing, it's hard to evade a clash.
Besides, Dany's rule is bound to be challenged by another threat, whereas Tyrion learns of a conspiracy from Varys. Trouble never really makes its way out of the terrain. Also, in the first episode of season 5, viewers will see Jon Snow caught between two kings, while Cersei and Jaime struggle with the loss of their father.
Episode 2 is an exciting one. Titled "The House of Black and White," the episode follows Arya Stark as she heads to Braavos to step into the eponymous temple of assassins there. This marks Arya's new adventures in a foreign land, something fans have been waiting to see. Also in the episode is a plethora of temptations. The synopsis reveals that "Stannis tempts Jon" and that "an adviser tempts Dany."
Furthermore, this episode features more danger. There's Pod and Brienne's misadventure on the road and Cersei's worries about her daughter who is in Dorne, knowing that an insanely vindictive Ellaria Sand is out there avenging the death of Oberyn.
The third episode is called "High Sparrow," which interestingly refers to the new leader of the Faith of the Seven that happens to be a believer of anything Cersei refuses to accept as true. This installment further looks into Arya's journey as she comes face to face with the Many-Faced God. It also shows Queen Margaery enjoying life with her new husband. Lastly, viewers will see Tyrion and Varys walking the Long Bridge of Volantis.
"Game of Thrones" season 5 will premiere on April 12.
