So, this happened on Friday...
So many things right about all that. Here are my favorite things, in order (no spoilers for Season 2, don't read if you haven't watched Season 1. And if you haven't watched Season 1, get with the program!):
1. Jon Snow, brother in black, bastard son of the murdered Eddard "Ned" Stark. Jon is my favorite Stark and he has my favorite direwolf, Ghost. His uncle is missing, having ventured beyond the wall that Jon helps protect, and winter is coming, which, will be very very cold.
2. Robb Stark, King of the North. Robb is SO hot, like breathtaking, and that accent (his real one, if you haven't heard it, find a behind the scenes clip and watch/listen, and your heart will MELT). Although compelling, he can be somewhat background, but did I mention he was hot? His direwolf, Grey Wind, fights along side of him in battle and creates fear among the soldiers who are about to face him.
3. Tyrion Lannister, the Imp, Hand of the King. Tyrion knows who he is and what he can and can't do and uses them both to his benefit. Manipulative, fair, highly intelligent, Tyrion has everybody's number. If someone could get an Oscar, Emmy, Tony, Juno and BAFTA for one role it should be Peter Dinklage as Tyrion, I can't wait for what's to come in the new season with him, he will TEAR IT UP!
4. Arya Stark, Princess of the North. Although her brother is king she's on the run, pretending to be a boy, with Needle, the little sword Jon gave her before he left Winterfell. She's considered missing by Cersei, and quite frankly the least of her problems, and assumed by her mother to be captured by the Lannister's, held hostage with her sister Sansa in King's Landing.
5. Daenerys Targaryen, Khaleesi, Mother of Dragons. At the end of last season her husband and baby died and she burned the witch who killed them, walked into the fire and her three dragon eggs hatched. Two words, baby dragons!
6. Cersei Lannister, Queen Regent. Overseeing the Seven Kingdoms while King Joffrey comes of age, she's kind of the baddest bitch ever. She loses points for sleeping with, and having children with, her brother, although, in her defense, Jaime Lannister is pretty hot.
Tune in April 1st for Season 2. Robb Stark forever!
