Game of Thrones Episode 502 Preview—”The House of Black and White”
With the hype over the return of Game of Thrones’ to the airwaves dying down, it’s time to get to the meat of Season 5, starting with “The House of Black and White,” the second episode of the year. Here’s HBO’s official synopsis: “Arya arrives in Braavos. Pod and Brienne run into trouble on the road. Cersei fears for her daughter’s safety in Dorne as Ellaria Sand seeks revenge for Oberyn’s death. Stannis tempts Jon. An adviser tempts Daenerys.”
That’s a lot of tempting going on. Sounds salacious. It also looks like we’ll be paying visits to Braavos and Dorne, which both sat the premiere out. Check out HBO’s preview video below.
There’s lots to get excited about in this video. It would appear that Cersei is going to pieces right on schedule, always compelling to watch, and the influx of Dornish characters stands to add more complexity to a story that’s already heavily layered. I’m probably most exited to see Arya’s journey in Braavos. If the show follows the books, she’ll be cut off from the other characters for a while, but that’ll give the production a chance to bring some of Martin’s charming passages about the city to life.
The shots of Brienne and Pod are also notable. The two of them have run through their material from the books, so I have legitimately no idea what’s going to happen to them. Whoever cut this trailer together was cruel, since they made it look like Pod might come to harm. The world needs Podrick Payne.
Anyway, here’s where, when, and how to watch “The House of Black and White” come Sunday.
