Game of Thrones Photo Preview: “Hardhome”
We're at the point in the season where Game of Thrones has to jump around and visit more places and characters in order to progress storylines. Bringing characters together helps some, but it looks like we're in for quite the ride through Westeros and beyond for the final three episodes of Season 5. In "Hardhome," we'll be going to Braavos, Winterfell, King's Landing, Meereen, and beyond the Wall -- those are just the locations teased in the synopsis and photos from the episode.
Daenerys Targaryen and Tyrion Lannister will talk further, and that means it's possible for Daenerys to confront Jorah Mormont again. Arya continues her training in the House of Black and White. Sansa confronts an old friend -- maybe it's Theon? She must be determined if she hasn't given up on him after last week's episode. Cersei struggles with her current situation in the Sept and is likely hating the taste of her own medicine. And finally, Jon Snow travels with Tormund beyond the Wall to bring the Wildlings south. See a photo preview of the episode in the below gallery.
