In other news, USA Today managed to get an interview with Gwendoline Christie, who plays fan-favorite female knight Brienne of Tarth.

Viewers last left Brienne as she was returning Jaime Lannister to Kings Landing. Christie says that season 4 will take Brienne to places "outside her comfort zone."

"What I love so much about the show is we really see the expansion of the character -- we see her move through different stages of development and we see her at Kings Landing, which is perhaps not a kind of environment that Brienne is used to negotiating. It's a world of secrets, of words, of intrigue, and Brienne is a woman of physicality and physical action. We see the development of this person as they negotiate another new world that they have no experience of."

She also talks about her fondness of playing such a strong and physical female character:

"I love it," said Christie. "I never played a really physical woman before, and that was something I was really interested and intrigued by and wondered how that might manifest itself, and the kind of challenges it's posed have been enormous... It's exciting and makes you feel really alive. I'm never bored."
