Game of Thrones: The Old Gods and the New recap/review
The Ghost of Harrenhal recap/review This week’s episode was titled The Old Gods and the New, and referred perhaps to our characters’ loyalties – there has been much switching of religions this season (Theon from the Starks’ gods to his fathers, Stannis from the old gods to Melisandre’s gods).
