In the Season 4 premiere, Tyrion welcomes a surprise guest to King's Landing for the royal wedding, but fears he's come to the Red Keep for something else. Meanwhile, Jon warns his skeptical Night's Watch superiors about an impending attack; Jaime struggles to regain his status at home; Arya encounters a face from her past; and Daario Naharis discusses strategy with Daenerys on the journey to the slave city Meereen.

"Arya encounters a face from her past" Probably Jaqen but...I want it to be Syrio!!! I loved Syrio/Arya scenes so much. I want it to be revealed that Syrio=Jaqen. That theory is great

you don't think that it's going to be the show's version of "is there gold in the village?"

I so desperately want to read the books, but at this point I'm so invested in the show that I want it to be my first experience for every story, character, etc. Maybe this summer I will start reading what has already been covered in the show. My fear is that I just won't want to stop at that point.

And I just made a post that had almost nothing to do with the episode so:

I would love for it to be Syrio, but I think Jaqen is more likely.

I'm hoping Daenerys' story picks up for me. I'm not quite sure why it doesn't grip me as much as it seems to enthrall others. I'm much more intrigued by everything happening in and around King's Landing.

I think Daenery's story is pretty boring tbh! Last season it was very repetitive. Go to a city, meet a douchebag leader, free the ppl and move on. We get it

And I can't stand her HOLIER THAN THOU attitude that she's grown into. I appreciate the gradual development but I still have no interest in watching her anymore

I love Emilia Clarke and the whole mother of dragons thing the character has going on, but Dany's story is by far my least favorite. I'm sick of her fucking and liberating her way across the "middle east". She might as well have her dragons wearing American flag capes.

Edit: But on the bright side, if you've really been pining for characters with multiple Q's, hyphens, and apostrophes in their names, have I got good news for you!

spoiler tags plz (:

And yeah I haven't really been invested in Dany since S1. I still liked her/was rooting for her in S2 but the story started to get boring then. And then she just turned SMUG in S3

I'm thinking/hoping she's being set up for a big setback soon. Otherwise it's gonna be pretty dull just seeing her steamroll her way across Westeros with her gigantic army, dragons, and powerful Queensguard (:

Dany's story is fun at parts, but the FREE THE SLAVES thing has gotten very annoying! I GET IT. She feels empathy for the slaves, is building an army/nation, etc etc, but all I can think when I see the lines of people she's basically forced to tag along with her through the desert is how the hell she expects to feed them all. They are all going to starve.

tbh, I want her to STOP having setbacks. After the slave army starve, anyway. I want her to finally get to Westeros so her story can matter in a way that isn't completely tangential to the rest of the plot. It would help me to be more invested in her story.

But I also don't really think she'll do a good job of actually conquering Westeros, dragons and slave army or not. She doesn't have the experience with actually taking territory and holding it, just with roasting people who piss her off and making slave armies kill everyone. Neither of these really make her a more favorable monarch than her father.
