‘Game of Thrones’ season 5, episode 3 preview: Kit Harrington – Maisie Williams tales in ‘High Sparrow’

Through the first two episodes, “Game of Thrones” has certainly taken its time setting up many of the narratives that will drive this season. For example, we saw changes within the Night’s Watch, with Dany, and with Arya Stark as they all prepare for what are many difficult weeks to come.

Next week’s installment is “High Sparrow,” which in many ways will be all about the character referenced in the title. He is a man who brings some change to King’s Landing, and does so at a time when there is much change and unrest already in the city with Tywin Lannister dead and young Tommen sitting on the throne. Meanwhile, we are going to see the next move for Jon Snow, while Arya starts to become more accustomed to what is her new training. This should be a strong episode in particular for Kit Harrington and Jon Snow, at least if the synopsis below is to be believed:

“Cersei meets the High Sparrow after learning of a clergyman’s embarrassing tale. Meanwhile, Davos talks to Jon about the future of Winterfell, where Ramsay Snow has just learned the identity of his future bride; Arya grows impatient doing menial tasks in the House of Black and White; and Tyrion searches for more comfortable surroundings on a long trip with Varys.”

This episode should mark the first time all season that we see Ramsay Snow; meanwhile, Theon Greyjoy a.k.a. Reek is still out there. We assume that we will see him turn up at some point, and this is not just another Bran Stark situation.
