I’ve now seen the Game of Thrones season three trailer five times, and upon each rewatch, I always expect, “It’s been a long time…” to be replaced with, “It’s been a long road, getting from there to here,” which is how the awful theme song for Star Trek: Enterprise begins. So every time, not only am I pleasantly surprised to not hear Russell Watson’s granny-panties voice, but also F*CK YEAH TYRION WALKING THROUGH DOORS LIKE A BOSS.
Anyway, HBO amped up excitement for the show’s soon-but-not-soon-enough-when-are-we-going-to-get-to-the-dragons-factory premiere by releasing a slightly longer trailer last night, now with more Robb and Talisa sex, Brienne being tall, and Tyrion quips. If the “touring the country with Bronn” thing doesn’t work for Tyrion, he should form a comedy duo with Cersei. “Hey sis, who’s on first?” “*gets drunk, blacks out*” “…And now please welcome the comedy stylings of Hodor.” A full (slightly spoiler’y?) list of trailer differences, via Den of Geek, below.
– Paul Kaye as Thoros of Myr, the Red Priest of R’hllor and Melisandre, speaking the words “The night is dark and full of terror.”
– The Brotherhood Without Banners around a campfire.
– Cersei and Tyrion Lannister having the following sibling exchange, “You’re not half as clever as you think you are”/”Still makes me more clever than you.” Touché.
– Bran, awakening in a forest, being approached by an unidentified figure.

– An unidentified woman at Littlefinger’s brothel moving playfully on all fours towards the camera.
– Joffrey looking worried on the Iron Throne, as well he might.
– A shot of Robb Stark, then one of Jamie being threatened, accompanied by Jon Snow’s words to Mance Rayder, “I want to fight for the side that fights for the living. Did I come to the right place?”
