The critically acclaimed HBO fantasy series "Game of Thrones" is back with a stellar premier.

As expected, many were tuned in to watch the pilot episode of "Game of Thrones" season three. The Sunday night episode was entitled "Valar Dohaeris." It caused a bit of surprised since most fans anticipated that "Valar Doahaeris" would probably be used by the end of season 3.

But just about as everyone floods social networking sites with "Game of Thrones" related posts, here are a couple of highlights that happened in the Seven Kingdoms.

Jon Snow has convinced the King Beyond the Wall in joining the Free Folk to battle against the White Walkers. Although Jon is safe for now, his pal Samwell Tarly failed to send a raven to warn the others about the undead.

In King's Landing, Sansa Stark received another offer from Peter Baelish to be sprited away back to her family. Meanwhile, Margaery Tyrell is probably planning something by visiting a group of orphans in King's Landing. Some question whether she will be good or an evil one like Cersei.

Daenerys Targaryen is proud and sailing aboard her newly acquired ship. A smirk can be found on her face as she watch her dragons fly and dive.

With the season premier, there are a lot of questions that are left to be answered. Arya, Bran or Jamie were not seen during the "Valar Dohaeris" episode so fans should anticipate in seeing them next week.

As far as the highlights for "Valar Dohaeris," there are a few to consider. There' s always the despicable Joffrey who finds amusement in insulting others even his own mother, Cersei. While having dinner with Margaery Tyrell, he pointed out that his mother had a penchant for drama as she grows older.

But when it comes to a the most promising character that could possibly win the war, the honor would go to Daenerys. Aside from her dragons hat have grown in size and power, the last Targaryen has secured 8,000 soldiers in her army that could possibly help her win the Dothraki khalasars.
