‘Game of Thrones’: ‘Valar Dohaeris’ review

Ah, Westeros. It’s good to be back.

This first slice of Season 3 is primarily an establishing episode, settling some loose ends from the previous season’s epic climax, while setting up some new threads for the many characters. With so many locations, characters and plots, it’s inevitable that at certain points the show has to slow down and stage a piece-moving episode like this, but Game of Thrones still makes them hugely enjoyable.

‘Game of Thrones’: ‘Valar Dohaeris’ teasers

Game of Thrones makes a triumphant, if somewhat subdued, return to UK screens tomorrow night for a third season.

While it’s a joy to be back in Westeros with the characters we’ve come to love (and love to hate), ‘Valar Dohaeris’ is very much an establishing episode. The fall-out from the great battle of Blackwater Bay continues, and everyone in the land, from Jon north of The Wall to Dany across the sea, must adjust to their new circumstances.
