TV GUIDE: Matt's TV Week in Review
Apr 13, 2012
by Matt Roush
... Slowly but surely, and severely, HBO's triumphant Game of Thrones continues to expand its world, this week sending Stark ward Theon Greyjoy back to the Iron Islands and Pyke for a most unwelcoming reunion with his hard-as-stone father, who rejects the treaty with Robb's army while making it clear he favors his warrior daughter Yara to lead his charge. At Dragonstone, the equally humorless Stannis Baratheon continues to plot his attack, but first ravages the fire priestess Melisandre on the battleground map — metaphor much? And while we're always happy to catch up with little Arya, who's in hiding with Robert's bastard Gendry en route to The Wall, the episode is stolen (as usual) by Peter Dinklage's Tyrion, who cleverly deposes the King's Watch commander after carrying out Joffrey's baby slaughter and later spars memorably with the wicked Cersei...
Game of Thrones airs Sunday at 9/8C on HBO.
