Last night marked the world premiere of the latest season of
Game of Thrones at the Tower of London — an apt venue for such an
epic event. We’re still weeks away from the show hitting TV screens
again, but WIRED.co.uk was in attendance and got an early look at
what to expect from the saga as it enters its fifth season.
Episode one is not the flurry of action and drama you might be
hoping for as a Thrones fans, deprived of new material for many
months now. The episode opens with a flashback to Cersei’s
childhood — yes, she was just as evil way back when — following
which a series of private conversations provides key characters the
opportunity to reflect on the events of the previous season. After
being plunged back into Westeros via King’s Landing, the audience
is taken on a whistlestop tour of the Seven Kingdoms.
