The third season of HBO’s acclaimed TV show Game of Thrones garnered even more kudos than the first and second.
The Red Wedding approaches its climax in Game of Thrones: Season 3.
dsBased on the series of fantasy novels by George R.R. Martin, Game of Thrones tells the story about the seven noble families fighting for control of the mythical land of Westeros, including the scheming south, the savage east, the frozen north and the ancient Wall that protects the realm from the mysterious beyond.
In Season 3, the battling families of the Seven Kingdoms continue to fight for power as bonds are strained, loyalties are tested and cruel fates are met. The Lannisters barely hold on to power after a savage naval onslaught from Stannis Baratheon (Stephen Dillane, Zero Dark Thirty), while stirrings in the North threaten to alter the overall balance of power. Robb Stark (Richard Madden), King in the North, faces major calamity in his efforts to build on his victories over the Lannisters, and beyond the Wall, Mance Rayder (Ciaran Hinds, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy) and his huge army of wildlings continue their inexorable march south. Across the Narrow Sea, Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke, Spike Island) – reunited with her three fast-maturing dragons – attempts to raise an army to sail with her from Essos, in hopes of eventually claiming the Iron Throne for herself.
