HBO has released a totally awesome 14-minute recap show of its second season of Game of Thrones, including interviews with the cast and crew of the hit fantasy series.

Entitled “A Gathering Storm,” the recap show serves as a refresher for the show’s viewers—and also works pretty well as a nice spring-board for new viewers who want to get into the series.

It features some cool clips from this past season as well as interesting and telling interviews with the showrunners, writers, and some of the cast we all know and love, and love to hate! (Yes, we're looking at you, Joffrey. But we love you, Jack Gleeson.)

Have a look and get ready to be properly recapped.

How did you like the recap? Does it make you look forward to season three even more?

"Winter is Coming" along with Game of Thrones season three on March 31 on HBO.
