"Valar Dohaeris" shows a good beginning of the Third Season of "Game of Thrones". How will be the life of Jon Snow living with his enemies is an intriguing point. Will he change his viewpoint regarding the Wildings? The treatment of Tywin despising his son Tyrion explains part of the behavior of the imp. Sansa does not know that Littlefinger betrayed he father and Ros's pertinent advice to Shae is relevant. But the most promising part of this season seems to be Daenerys and her dragons. My vote is eight.
