All Game of Thrones news

2x8: The Prince of Winterfell recap: The episode begins at Winterfell; and Theon welcomes riders with his sister, Yara, and she immediately mocks him for killing the Stark boys. He says the Northerners would have thought he was weak if he hadn't killed them. She's not there to defend Winterfell, she's there to bring him home. She thinks there will be hell to pay when Robb Stark finds out what Theon has done to the Stark boys. But Theon says he's killed the ravens and is holding the horses so Robb won't find out. Yara asks him nicely to come home with her so he doesn't die there. Meanwhile beyond the Wall; Ygritte brings her prisoner Jon Snow to her people. They order him killed until she points out he's Ned Stark's bastard son. She thinks Mance will want to decide what to do with him. They've also captured Quorin... read more.

2x7: A Man Without Honor recap: The episode begins with Winterfell Theon waking up alone in bed. He chews out his men for letting Hodor, Bran, Rickon and Osha escape. One of his men points out Theon was busy having sex with Osha, so he beats and stomps on him. They head out after the Stark boys, bringing Maester Luwin with them. Meanwhile, Theon tells Luwin he won't kill the boys if he finds them soon. He's counting on his sister and her men to beat Robb's men back to Winterfell. The dogs start barking. But way ahead, the Stark boys are clear. They didn't bring enough food, but Bran doesn't want to risk stopping at a nearby farm and putting the family there at risk if Theon catches up to them. The Stark boys remember two young orphan boys that live there... read more.

2x6: The Old Gods And The New recap: The episode begins, with Winterfell Maester Luwin barricades himself inside and scrambles to write a note to send with a raven. There are noises of a battle outside. He lets the raven go and guards bust down the door. Meanwhile, Theon of Greyjoy busts in on Bran and in an almost friendly, brotherly manner, tells him hes taking Winterfell. He tells Bran to publically tell the people he’s yielding Winterfell to save them. Bran asks Theon if he always hated them. Outside, Bran tells the people of Winterfell that hes yielding. Theon orders Luwin to send a raven to his sister notifying her of his victory and a raven to his father asking for 500 men. Meanwhile, Osha, the captive wildling, asks Theon for permission to fight for him, but he laughs her off... read more.

2x5: The Ghost of Harrenhal recap: The episode begins in Renly's camp; Catelyn tells Renly that Robb Stark has no interest in the Iron Throne. Renly says the Starks can have dominion over the North if they swear the same oath of fealty that Ned did. In return, Renly promises to defeat Stannis' army in the morning. Catelyn asks him again to try to negotiate a peace with Stannis. He won't hear it. He tells her to take his terms to Robb. There's a wind at the tent door and Melisandre's evil black spirit offspring comes in and stabs Renly in the back. He drops to the ground, dead. Guards rush in and, thinking Brienne did it, attack her. She fights them off and then collapses crying over his body. Catelyn tells her to leave, warning her they'll hang her. "You can't avenge him if you're dead," she says... read more.

2x4: Garden of Bones recap: The episode begins and two guards are talking about Loras. Just then, they see their horses behave weirdly. Suddenly out of the darkness comes a dire wolf, which attacks them. Meanwhile Rob Stark and his men attack. Robb does not want to execute the prisoners, who have been taken in after his attack. He doesn’t want to torture the prisoners, because the Lannisters too hold prisoners, and he doesn’t want to give them an excuse to torture his sisters. He then restrains an injured man, whose foot is rotting, so it can be amputated. Later Robb talks to the nurse, who amputated the boy’s foot. She is clearly not happy with Robb as he waged this battle which has resulted in many deaths and injuries... read more.
