"Game of Thrones" Season 4 won't be premiering on HBO until the spring of 2014, but lucky for us the season is so insane that we have a ton to talk about till then. When we last caught a glimpse into the world of Westeros, the "Game of Thrones" characters were facing some turmoil. Jon Snow, played by Kit Harrington was seen barely making it back to the Wall. He was pulled off his horse by his brothers of the Night's Watch, his fate is unknown. Jon had suffered three arrow shots due to his now jilted lover, Ygritte. Even though Jon makes it back to the Wall, he blacks out before the audience knows his status.
As for Cersei Lannister, played by Lena Headey, her life isn't in peril or is it? Well as far as George R.R. Martin is considered, no one is off limits. And the Lannisters have created many more enemies then they once had. After the Lannisters orchestrated the Red Wedding, Tyrion attempts to warn his father, the Hand of the King, and his sister, the Queen Regent, that the Northerners will never forget this. However the two prideful lions disregard his warning and instead belittle him further. Following the meeting, Cersei's twin brother and lover, Jamie returns to King's Landing, but, instead of the joyful he was hoping for, Cersei regards him with a confused and disgusted look. She takes in his filthy appearance and lack of a sword hand, and leaves the Red Keep.
Both Jon Snow and Cersei Lannister share a peculiar characteristic, they are beginning to isolate themselves within their respective families. Jon left the Starks of Winterfell in Season 1 and became a man of the Night's Watch, but then played the part of a turncoat and lived with the Wildlings and Ygritte. But then he betrayed the Wildlings and returned to the Wall, although now that he has returned, how do the men of the Night's Watch know they can actually trust him? In regards to Cersei, her power is slipping from her hands. The Queen Regent has lost control of her son, King Joffrey, her father openly disregards her opinions, her relationship with her younger brother Tyrion has worsened, and now she rejects her brother and lover, Jamie. She has essentially isolated herself from her family and thus her only allies.
So what do the actors have to say about all the surmounting drama set to occur in Season 4? "I'm just going to say the stakes are higher than they ever have been," said Lena Headey. "It's just getting better and better." While being rather tight-lipped about the production of Season 4, it is so refreshing to hear that it's even better than the previous 3 seasons. Show runners, D.B. Weiss and David Benioff have always said that if they can make it to Season 3 that the show would be a success, and it seems like the cast and crew agree that now the real games begin. Kit Harrington told Access Hollywood, "There will be more deaths this season than any other! I can't tell you who dies. You'd think they'd tone the deaths down, but they don't." How is it possible? More deaths, well don't forget that in the "Game of Thrones" you either win or you die! Harrington commented on the brutal Westeros death rate, "They've realized that's a successful option, so they're just killing more people than they've ever killed."
But with the violence we will also see some happier times, Kit also promises they'll be "plenty of sex." But the happiness stops there, sex is huge part of the Seven Kingdoms but love isn't something we will see a lot of in Season 4. It seems we mostly get real loving relationships from the Starks, but at the arte they are dropping, we aren't going to see any more love stories. "Love? In Game of Thrones? Really? You think they'd be that nice?!" Harrington said. "Me and Rose, who plays Ygritte, we're as close to a love story as you get in the show."
So Season 4 will have scheming, sex, blood and bodies, but no love, well you can't have it all! Check out Latin Times prediction for when "Game of Thrones" Season 4 will premiere on HBO here!
