Overview: An adaptation of the second half of George R.R. Martin’s “A Storm of Swords”; the
season found the Lannister’s pitted against each other more than ever, the
surviving Stark girls coming into their own, Daenarys continuing her rule as a
queen and the lone surviving Baratheon continuing his fight for the throne. All
of this as the battle at The Wall came to a head.
Storyline Pros:
Everything involving Tyrion was phenomenal. His trial diatribe against his
accusers and detractors was sheer brilliance. He is a fascinating character and
when he is not on-screen, the series doesn’t boast the same intrinsic glow that
it does when he is on. It’s like watching color drain from a painting. His
relationship with Tywin remains one of the most fascinating father/son dynamics
that television has recently explored.
