Game of Thrones Season 4 Episode 8 Preview – “The Mountain and the Viper”
“Mance and his army must be close. If they hit Mole’s Town, we’re next.”
From the official HBO synopsis: “Mole’s Town receives some unexpected visitors. Littlefinger’s motives are questioned. Ramsay attempts to prove himself to his father. Tyrion’s fate is decided.”
“The Mountain and the Viper” is written by David Benioff and D.B. Weiss and directed by Alex Graves. This is the third of four episodes Graves is helming this season. Photos from this week’s episode have been released, with new images of Ellaria, Sansa, Arya and more. The highlight of the new episode is expected to be the much-touted trial-by-combat, which Pedro Pascal assures will not disappoint fans. We can look forward to some intense wildling action, judging by the preview, which makes this week’s Player of Thrones all the more timely.
HBO has also released their “Previously On Game of Thrones” recap for “The Mountain and the Viper,” hinting at which past plot points may be significant in the new episode:
Ours is the Fury: The duel has had a lot of buildup, with teases from the earliest trailers this season. There seems to be a lot going on in this ep and not just in King’s Landing , with Dany and Arya scenes teased in the new photos, and Ramsay’s mission at Moat Cailin.
