'Thrones' fans with iPads should get their swiping fingers ready. Along with the premiere of Season 2 comes the launch of HBO GO's Interactive Features for the iPad. That means extra, in-story content such as cast and crew commentaries, info alerts about the scenes and characters, not to mention media galleries for a closer look at props, costumes or storylines. A guide to the major houses and a map of the continents of Westeros and Essos will also keep you immersed.
Here's how Interactive Features lets you dive deeper into the burning of the Seven at Dragonstone:

For those without iPads, HBO has updated their Viewer's Guide...
The season premiere of GOT introduces plenty of new faces, and even the familiar characters from Season 1 have gone through a lot of changes (or met the end of a sword). So for the second season, the Game of Thrones Viewer’s Guide has re-launched. And in addition to providing new character bios and family trees, it features a full map of Essos, a Season 1 catch-up guide, and map enhancements that fold the events of Season 2 onto the landscape of Westeros.
Interactive Viewer's Guide for Season 2.

Here are the 8 in-episode videos (merged into one convenient video) from the HBO GO interactive episode:
It seems like the interactive map is having issues... for me at least.
