Game of thrones the war of 5 kings
Their battle for control of Tommen Baratheon, the king, and by extension the kingdom is set up to be the ‘game of thrones’ this season, and as Cersei once told Ned Stark, Margaery Tyrell talking to Cersei Lannister. Is she the younger, more beautiful queen that the prophecy referred to? Cersei finally has a formidable foe in her own house in the shape of Margaery Tyrell. With most of the kings gone, and Stannis relegated to the wall, the fight for the throne is between the queens in King’s Landing. To the casual viewer, the first scene might seem like the beginning of a new story but the child actor was so phenomenal at embodying the character of Lena Headey’s Cersei Lannister that a Thronie would have surely recognised her even before her name was screamed. However, by putting the scene at the start of the season, they have managed to save the linearity of the story in the episode.Ĭersei Lannister's flashback scene. HBO show producers David Beinoff and DB Weiss were sternly against any flashbacks scenes. This season began with the first flashback scene of the season.
Even when our favourite characters are (wrongfully) killed, they are replaced with new characters inhabiting different worlds, and just like life, the story goes on Vlar Morghulis. By now you would (read: should) have seen the first episode of Game of Thrones ( GoT) season five.ĭespite leaving us for months at a time, GoT has a way of sucking you back into the world of Westeros every single season.
