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

    Or - Georgie might get around to giving us the REAL ending.

    There will never be another Game Of Thrones no matter what they make.

    Cersei looking awfully lonely in that shot.

    Also, drinking alcohol. Looks like the pregnancy was a lie, as expected.

    Amazing when you think about it that the plot has not leaked. Considering the number of people behind the camera as well as in front of it and the level of interest in how it ends.

    A friends son is in it as an extra and he said he doesnt know what is going on. He only knows snippets from the scenes he was in.

    And the potential fortunes to be made betting on various outcomes...

    Good trailer, and kept the story info to a minimum. Love that Jamie seems to be following through with his plan to fight the walkers, and definitely seems like Winterfell is going to feel the brunt of the attack (which is no surprise). Arya running through the crypts does not bode well though, and means they either breach the walls or tunnel under (or it's a dream).

    Cersei seemed quite happy in both shots...the bitch :P

    There will, but I doubt they'll ever come close to the impact of the original

    Still, I like the way she is highlighted as a potential 'third force' in the coming clash between the living and the dead, one who might even triumph over all in the end?:D

    Also a bit surprised at the prominence of Mormont: might he take on an Aragorn-type leadership role in the great war?

    Jesus I won't miss the smug face of Cersei. All respect to Lena Headey as I don't think I've ever hated a character more.

    And what the **** is that Arya is fighting towards the end of the trailer?

    Not a hope. Unfortunately, they're going to give that to Sansa, the useless ****e.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,882 ✭✭✭✭murpho999


    Jamie saying he's fighting for the living must mean that Cersie is siding with the White Wallkers.

    What about a reboot of Game of Thrones?

    If the dead have come and Winterfell has fallen, could the Night King have raised the bodies in the crypt and could she be running from the bones of Lord Stark and the rest of her ancestors?

    She's holding a dragonglass dagger talking about relishing killing someone. Perhaps an old enemy that she never got to kill?

    Who is left alive on her list?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,566 ✭✭✭✭RobbingBandit


    I'm hoping for utter carnage no one escapes unharmed type situation. Hope Sam gets retribution for his family (even though they hated him) am expecting some crazy cameos from past characters anyone that wasn't burned is a potential candidate

    All that will be left will be the map table in Dragonstone, and someone will limp towards it cloaked.

    But who?*

    *just kidding - or am i?

    Cersei, The Mountain, Melisandre. Not sure if the Hound still counts.

    I know they wrote him off the show because of Wilko Johnson's poor health, but Ilyn Payne should still be alive and could come back due to Wilko's recovery.

    What ... what if the Mother of Dragons controls all dragons ... Ice Dragon included?

    Probably because Jon is riding it!

    Team Cersei all the way, she is by far and away the best character left standing.

    I'm thinking more about dead people that she never got to kill in the first place, like Joffrey or Tywin. If she's holding a dragonglass dagger, then that means she's defending herself against the undead...

    Oooh - that sounds like fun.

    I thought Joffrey and Tywin were buried in the great sept that Cersei blew to kingdom come. How about littlefinger comes back to life as he's probably buried up there. I wouldnt mind seeing him die twice.

    Oh, just thought of someone worse who Arya has never dealt with but is possibly buried near Winterfell. RAMSEY.
