    It is known.

    The ice cloud came, Jon drew Longclaw, Arya drew Needle - Sansa just stood there.

    Although I did like the nod to season 1 with the feather.

    I liked the teaser if fact I would love if they reveale nothing and just showed little teasers like this for each episode something that’s just made as a teaser instead of episode footage. It will be much better viewing that way imo.

    Anyone that’s gonna watch is gonna watch now at this point so what’s the point in spoiling the good stuff.

    Bring on April 14 can’t believe it’s finally here

    Most of the internet seems to think it reveals quite a lot.

    And recited in her mind some spiel about 'lone wolves'...

    What do the statues mean anyway? That their doom is foretold or something...

    Sansa has never drawn a weapon whilst becoming Queen of the North, her strengths lie in politics although not sure how the Others are open to negotiation

    I wouldn’t read too much into it there gonna tease people about a lot of stuff to throw people off so they won’t know for sure what’s gonna happen

    They get sent back in time by Bran with hilarious results.

    If I was them I'd not waste the money; they can put the trailer on Youtube and twitter it out and save themselves 50 million+ and get the same or higher viewing numbers. Unlike many other shows GoT on final season don't need to spend money on letting people know it's coming...

    Makes sense I suppose I guess no trailer tonight.

    I'm still watching halftime on Gamepass rather than BBC (where I'll be watching the game) to see the ads. They don't need a trailer here, but it deserves one

    Reckon there will be one, another teaser I'd guess.
    Also expect trailers from Marvel and Star wars so looking forward to watching them tomorrow.

    Started Season One again last night in preparation for the new season!

    So, just a non-story related ad, tie in with Budweiser with the mountain and a dragon.

    Another few seconds of season 8 footage in a promo for upcoming HBO shows. Basically Arya gazing in wonder at a dragon.:rolleyes:

    Looks like she is delighted at the sight of it.

    First two episodes around 60 mins, the rest 90


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,708 ✭✭✭✭Loafing Oaf


    I suppose the rationale for only releasing these fleeting glimpses of season 8 in the middle of compilation promos for various HBO shows could be that GoT fans would exposed to those other shows and one in a thousand might be tempted to check one out...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,437 ✭✭✭biggebruv


    Imo the less shown the better. Cannot wait not long now just 5 weeks once we hit Monday woo hoo

    the last bit of the legs of the dead horse more than likely carrying a white walker got me all tingly

    don't worry, there'll be about 50 prequels. HBO will milk the teat of the cash cow for all it's worth.
