Game of Thrones: Season 4, Episode 1 "Two Swords" Review

Bitch please, I'm Oberyn Martell; Dornish certified badass

It's back! Game of Thrones, my favourite television show of all time, not just at the present, has returned with it's fourth season! And after reading the third book, A Storm of Swords, I know things are going to be juicer, bigger and more treacherous than any season come before! If you want to get my take on Thrones in full, you need only examine my full review of it here. Now that I've plugged a separate review, on with this one! 

It seems to me, that after the Red Wedding, there is some kind of a space. I don't necessarily know how to explain it; maybe it's just the fact that we don't have someone marching towards or contesting Joffrey. We had Stannis primarily in Season 2, and then Robb in Season 3, but now both of them have either been reduced to tiny numbers, too insignificant to pull off an attack on the capital, or they've been involved in The Red Wedding; you're generally not going to be able to mount a rebellion after that kind of event has been dealt upon you, are you? So now, we have a few less points of view to cover, and this means we have more Lannister time. And that is especially evident here in this episode, seeing as over half the episode is spent with the Lannisters, and for good reason! Jamie and Tyrion are now two of our most important characters; Tyrion because he's our average Lannister, our eyes and ears into King's Landing from the start, and Jaime, because he's no longer a spoiled brat, and more a chivalrous knight, or trying to be, thanks to the good intention of Brienne of Tarth last season. We get to see two crippled Lannisters waddling around King's Landing now! The big story of this episode was, in fact, Jaime's story line, I believe, and how he has to adapt back in to King's Landing; all throughout the trip over the Riverlands and down south with Brienne, he was expecting his father to jump for joy at his return, and his sister to be gleaming when he arrived home. He expected their incestuous relationship to just start up where they had left off, but what he got was far from that.
