We’ve nearly made it through the long wait for new Doctor Who, but how in the world will we be able to wait until the fourth season of Game of Thrones? If past seasons are any indication, we won’t be seeing Westeros again until the end of March or beginning of April.

Never fear, however. SciFiMafia.com has searched the internet for featurettes about the beloved HBO series, and we have three for your viewing pleasure today.

First is part of a featurette from the Blu-ray/DVD set of Game of Thrones Season 3, which won’t be available until February 18, 2014 (scroll to the end of this article for the link to preorder). It’s a featurette on the most talked-about scene of the season. You know.

Feeling a little sad after the reminder of that unhappy, epic scene? Don’t worry, the remaining two featurettes will lift your spirits right back up, starting with one on what may be the coolest puzzle ever. First a description, which is intriguing, but wait til you see the video:

4D Cityscape now introduces the official puzzle guide for Game of Thrones, based on the award winning HBO television series. This puzzle will guide players through the assembly of the map of Westeros in a patented multi-layer design. The first layer is a 1000+ pieces jigsaw puzzle that will teach you all about the various locations and regions of Westeros. The second layer is an artistic 200+ pieces jigsaw puzzle that replicates the current landscape based on the famous introduction of the television series. The third layer adds the 3D miniature replicas models that you insert into the puzzle, which include famous cities and castles such as Kings Landing, Winterfell, Eyrie, the Wall, and more! In addition, the puzzle comes with an information booklet that teaches you everything you need to know about Westeros, including over 45 flags to mark famous landmarks, 10 sigils to mark the Houses, and 5 battle markers to learn the locations of five major battles. Ages 13+. The fully assembled product measures 30 x 18 x 2 inches.

ThinkGeek is currently sold out of these but is expecting more soon.

And finally, how trustworty is Margaery Tyrell? More important for the purposes of the next featurette, how trustworthy is the actor who plays her, Natalie Dormer? Here she is purportedly spoiling all of Season 4:
