News Round-up/Speculation (Game of Thrones)

In my final week of my Month of Thrones series, I'm going to use talk about some news and speculation that have emerged in the coming weeks in preparation for Season Four starting this Sunday.

Many websites have reported episode titles up to episode seven, which you can check out here unless you don't want to be spoiled for anything. They really don't say much except possibly to book readers like me, but even I can't really tell exactly what is going to happen in every episode. There have also been 4 trailers released which you can check out here, here, here and here.

Based on all of the features in magazines and sneaks that have been released, here are my spoiler-free speculation for some of the core characters on Game of Thrones.

Tyrion: Obviously he's in some kind of trouble since all of the trailers show in either shackles or in a jail. We don't get any context for the situation but with what Tyrion is alluding to, it probably has something to do with Cersei since they've always had problems/hatred.

Cersei: She seems like she's up to her old tricks. In one of the trailers she is heard repeating Tyrion's words that he said to her in Season 2, so the context for that situation should be interesting. Also at the very end of the trailer we see a sliver of her interaction with Jaime, so we will possibly see how their relationship has changed since Season One (or not).

Arya: Seems like she is still on her adventure with the Hound. We will see her true reactions to the Red Wedding so I expect serious bloodshed from her this season.

Ramsay/Roose: They seem seriously concerned with the threat of the Stark children still being alive, since the "North Remembers". It can then be assumed that Theon will be used as a tool of some sort once he reveals information via torture. They also have to deal with being in control of the North and all those associated problems.

Jon: He has some serious issues to content with in the North, since he betrayed the Wildings/Ygritte, who will surely be looking for revenge. We last left him injured and delirious, so we will have to see a quick turn-around, as he becomes a de-facto leader of the Night's Watch.

Bran- It seems like he's in some kind of trouble by himself and with the Reeds so perhaps they are being chased/attacked by Others beyond the Wall, but I'm not sure.

Joffrey- He's still his arrogant self but it seems he's concerned about the Stannis situation. His wedding is coming up so it will be interesting to see how he will be as a husband

Dany: She is still continuing her anti-slavery crusade and is seen engaged in a battle with another slave-city. She is very nononsense and confident, which probably can be due to her unstoppable army that she has at her command

Overall, this season has a really ominous feel to it that you can't really put your finger on.  Honestly just enjoy the crazy ride this season will for sure take us on and always remember "Winter is Coming".
