Game of Thrones: Valar Dohaeris (2013)
Season 3, Episode 1
9/10
Fantastic Premiere
1 April 2013
Warning: Spoilers
Like with the previous 2 seasons,the premiere titled "Valar Dohaeris" sets up the rest of the season nicely As a die-hard book fan,i wasn't that much satisfied with the opening 10 minutes.In the books,Sam kills the wight himself not Lord Commander Mormont.Also,I wasn't a big fan of the way Jon convinced Mance Ryder(played by Ciaran Hinds)to join the wildlings.Ciaran Hinds is a great choice for the role of the King-Beyond-The-Wall.But the rest of the episode is wonderful.It's a joy to watch Tyrion with Cersei,Bronn and Tywin.The acting is fantastic in all the 3 scenes.

Meanwhile in Astapor,Ser Barristan Salmy saves Daenerys from getting bit by a scorpion thingy.Although this wasn't how things went down in the book,I didn't mind the change The premiere sets up the rest of the season slowly but smartly.
