This is the perfect trailer. It teases just about everything, while giving away next to nothing. I won’t go into too much detail here about the trailer; just enjoy and bask in its awesomeness. But of course there are a few things to point out.
- We see a shot of Jon and Daenerys walking towards the two dragons. Could this be the long-awaited moment of the two Targaryens flying together?
- Arya seems to be excited by the appearance of the dragons, because of course
- Jaime has seemingly made it to Winterfell, keeping his promise to “fight for the living”
- We get a glimpse of the Iron Fleet, which should signal the arrival of Euron with the Golden Company
- Cersei is looking a little too smug for my liking
- And finally, the tease of the battle to end all battles
To anyone who has not read this fantastic article over at EW, it is an absolute must-read for any Game of Thrones fan.
I’ll have some more season previews coming out in these final weeks leading up to the premiere. I’ll have a big picture breakdown, as well as some specific character predictions. So be on the watch for those. But in the mean time, start the hype train by watching (and rewatching…and rewatching….and rewatching…) the epic season 8 trailer. #forthethrone
