Watch every deleted scene from Game of Thrones season 3

If you're one of the many hardcore Game of Thrones fans who doesn't subscribe to HBO (and doesn't have a friend with an HBO GO password), you'll be happy to hear that the third season of the fantasy drama finally arrives on both DVD and Blu-Ray today. But as you plan your binge-watches before the premiere of season four, make sure to slot in a little extra time to see what didn't originally make the cut: five deleted and extended scenes that are finally available for fans to dissect.

The new scenes, which make up nearly 15 minutes of footage, offer a little more time with several of the show's most recognizable characters, including Jon Snow, Robb Stark, and Tyrion Lannister. The highlight, however, is a previously unseen exchange between Tywin Lannister and Grand Maester Pycelle, who finally stops pretending to be senile in a surprisingly canny exchange with his onetime ally.

It's an intriguing reminder that few things are as they seem in Game of Thrones — and the perfect way for fans to whet their appetites for the show's return in April.
