"The Wolf and the Lion" is the fifth episode of the HBO medieval fantasy television series ''Game of Thrones'', first aired on May 15, 2011. It was written by the show creators and executive producers David Benioff and D. B. Weiss, and directed by Brian Kirk. The events of the episode primarily deal with Lord Eddard Stark's investigations into the death of the previous Hand. In the city of King's Landing, the Tourney of the Hand comes to an end while the various factions that plot for power are revealed to the viewer. This delicate balance is undone when news arrives that Tyrion Lannister has been arrested by Catelyn Stark. The title of the episode refers to the fact that the Starks, whose sigil is a wolf, may soon be at war with the Lannisters, whose sigil is the lion. With this episode the season hits its halfway mark and the action picks up considerably. Despite being a topic of discussion at King's Landing, Daenerys and Jorah Mormont do not themselves appear in this episode. Jon Snow and all characters on the Wall are also absent, and Robb Stark does not appear in Winterfell scenes. Accordingly, Emilia Clarke, Iain Glen, Harry Lloyd, Richard Madden and Kit Harington all have their names omitted from the opening titles. The Eyrie appears as a new location between King's Landing and Winterfell on the opening's map. First airing viewership increased by approximately 80,000 viewers from the previous week's episode, continuing the series' upward trend. The episode was also particularly well-received critically, with multiple critics praising the omission of the Wall and Dothraki plotlines giving this episode a relatively more focused feel. ==Plot== Like previous episodes, "The Wolf and the Lion" interweaves action happening in multiple locations within the Kingdom of Westeros. Most of the action takes place in the capital, King's Landing, while other scenes are located at the Starks' ancestral fortress of Winterfell and The Vale, ruled by Catelyn Stark's sister Lysa Arryn. Unlike previous episodes, none of the action involves The Wall at Westeros' northern border, nor the Dothraki across the Narrow Sea. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Wolf and the Lion」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
