‘Game of Thrones’ season 4 spoilers: Teasers on Emilia Clarke, more in full synopsis
Do you know how much HBO is already going full steam with “Game of Thrones” promotion? It’s still a solid four weeks away from the show’s season 4 premiere on Sunday, April 6, but we are getting some of the best details about the plot ahead that we have to date.
Have you seen some of these details in the trailers for the show? Probably, but there’s a difference between your mind wanting to perceive that a certain story is happening, and then getting some sort of proof of it from the network itself. We’re not going to waste any more time now, so let’s get right to the good stuff:
“Encouraged by the Red Wedding slaughter in the Riverlands that wiped out many of their Stark nemeses, the Lannisters’ hold on the Iron Throne remains intact…but can they survive their own egos, as well as new and ongoing threats from the south, north and east? While an unbowed Stannis Baratheon continues to rebuild his army in Dragonstone, a more immediate danger comes from the south, as Oberyn Martell, the Lannister-loathing ‘Red Viper of Dorne,’ arrives at King’s Landing to attend Joffrey’s wedding to Margaery Tyrell, and perhaps act on an ulterior agenda. In the north, a depleted Night’s Watch seems overmatched against the inexorable Wall advances of Mance Rayder’s army of wildlings, which in turn is being trailed by an even more formidable foe: the undead White Walkers. As if that weren’t enough, Daenerys Targaryen, accompanied by her menacing trio of dragons and army of Unsullied, is poised to liberate Meereen, the largest city in Slaver’s Bay, which could ultimately provide her with enough ships to sail to Westeros and reclaim the Iron Throne.”
Obviously, there is more to this show than Emilia Clarke’s character and the others mentioned here … but compared to the average synopsis released by HBO, this is a novel of George R.R. Martin length. Sometimes, you just have to celebrate the gifts that you’ve been given.
