Spoiler Alert!
“Game of Thrones” returned for its fifth season on Sunday and viewers were greeted with an idea of where most characters will be headed this year.
The episode opened with a flashback to Cersei Lannister and a friend traveling through the woods to a witch’s hut. Cersei asks for her future and the witch describes her life as queen, but she is told she will be taken down, foreshadowing Cersei’s fate this season.
This cuts to Cersei in the present who is mourning last season’s death of her father with her brother, Jamie. Cersei blames Jamie for what happened since he let their brother Tyrion escape, and Tyrion killed their father.
Tyrion lands in the city, Pentos, after being smuggled from King’s Landing and contemplates traveling to Meereen to meet Daenerys. Meanwhile, Daenerys aka, Khaleesi, fears she is losing control of her dragons and her people. After an attempt to reconnect with the dragons she was forced to cage, we see, for the first time, concern and fear in the queen we all support. They angrily breathe fire at her until she leaves. It will be interesting to see the Dragon Queen rally her dragons back in her favor.
At Castle Black, Jon Snow is put in charge of trying to convince the wildings leader, Mance Rayder, to side with Stannis Baratheon in his fight for the iron throne.
