With a just a week to go until Game of Thrones is finally back on the air, the hype has reached new levels in the history of the series. We’re mere days away from seven years of tension finally coming to a release. A Targaryen will once again walk the halls of Dragonstone, the white walkers are knocking on The Wall, and the Dothraki, possibly through acupuncture and a horse-pills of Dramamine, have gotten over their fear of water and have landed on the shores of Westeros.
It’s the type of stuff that makes even 25 seconds of new footage worth dissecting.
A new Greek promo for Game of Thrones is showing alternate angles of what we’ve seen in the last few trailers. Jaime Lannister is walking in full armor, seemingly into battle. We don’t know if it’s the battle against the Dothraki and Dany’s dragons since season seven promises a plethora of clashes with the Lannisters at the epicenter, but seeing Jaime ride through fire on a horse throws together enough context clues to assume that yeah, he’s taking on some Dothraki warriors while a dragon crisps his men with ease. The main question: Is Jaime defending King’s Landing or Casterly Rock?
Jon Snow’s speech, which we heard in the second season seven trailer, said: “For centuries, our families fought together against their common enemy. Despite their differences, together. We need to do the same if we’re going to survive, because the enemy is real. It’s always been real.” Now, it has “despite their suspicions” along with “despite their differences.” Read into that, and who he’s standing shoulder to shoulder with, however you wish.
And here’s a new shot of Tyrion in Dragonstone, looking conflicted.
Remember, Peter Dinklage told TV Guide that Tyrion is “smitten” with his queen, and he probably isn’t feeling great about the potential slaughter of his brother Jaime, who saved his life on multiple occasions. Will Tyrion switch teams again?
There’s a lot to unpack from this and frankly all the promos. It’s a testament to the boil the entire show has come to, and we haven’t even brought up Arya, Sansa, the CleganeBowl, and so many other loose threads. A lot of people are going to die.
