"The Lion and the Rose" Ep. 2 Preview

Nice day for a Royal Wedding. This episode will see the villainous King Joffrey (Jack Gleeson) marry Margaery Tyrell, what could go wrong?

So, after a very strong start, it seems that Season 4 could already be building into what could potentially be a huge episode on Sunday night (Monday night for us here in the UK). First and foremost we will see the marriage of Joffrey, the mad-boy king we just all love to hate and Margaery which will no doubt be a grand and lavish affair, and we're all invited, ah I just love weddings don't you? However as we all now know, weddings are anything but predictable and pomp in Game of Thrones, so prepare for the unexpected. Also, according to the plot summary, we will be dropping in on Bran and the gang (Hodor, Jojen and Meera Reed and his direwolf Summer) who have finally ventured beyond the Wall. There will also be an update on Stannis (and no doubt the ever present Melisandre) back at Dragonstone where he has brought Davos back into the fold, despite his 'blasphemous' words and earlier impetuous act against Melisandre, to prepare for their march to the Wall to assist the Night's Watch against the real threat of the White Walkers. It's fair to say there will be A LOT to talk about in this episode, so you can expect a full, in-depth, spoiler-ridden review after it airs Monday night folks! Til then, I've uploaded a promo clip of the upcoming episode which is only about 30 seconds or so long but sets the stage for what many people are already calling as "Episode 9 material" in terms of spectacle and shocks. I can hardly wait, bring on episode two! Beware the internet, those sensitive, for it is dark and full of spoilers, but those who have already read the books will know what's coming.
