The Official GoT Season 7 Trailer!

HBO finally released the official trailer for the seventh season of Game of Thrones. If you haven't seen it yet, here is the link: https://youtu.be/giYeaKsXnsI

CERSEI'S MAP

It looks like Cersei has made an addition to the Red Keep, her own map of Westeros painted on the floor of the castle. All the more better to stomp on her insufferable people. She assures her brother that even though they have enemies to the north, south, east and west, they will prevail. According to the latest edition of Entertainment Weekly, the producers say that Cersei has thought about the dragons and may have a plan to defend against them. The only thing I can think of at the moment that could somehow compare to dragons is wildfire, which is said to be the closest thing to dragonfire. Surely after the Battle of Blackwater Bay and her destruction of the Sept of Baelor last season her stores have been used up. 

DANY REACHES WESTEROS

If you've seen the teaser trailer or any of the pics that HBO released for season 7, it has been very clear that Dany reaches Westeros. To be exact she reaches Dragonstone. This is a big deal! Dany hasn't been to Westeros since she was born on Dragonstone. Her mother died in childbirth and the King Robert's soldiers were attacking so her brother Viserys took a newborn Dany and fled to Essos.  She has finally reached the homeland she's dreamed of since she was a child. Dany gets to sit on the only throne in all of the Seven Kingdoms to rival the iron throne. Since Dragonstone is the ancestral home of House Targaryen (and where the heir to the iron throne usually lives until it is his or her time to rule) it's only logical that they would have a seat befitting a king or queen. This is where dragons are born and where dragons thrive and many believe Dragonstone still holds unhatched dragons from the olden days. Dany and Tyrion make their plans over The Chamber of the Painted Table. Hopefully it's been cleaned since Melisandre and Stannis used it a few seasons ago to make that horrible shade she birthed that killed Renly. 

MELISANDRE

Melisandre may also have made it to Dragonstone. Since Jon banished her and told her to go south she's either gone to find another "prince that was promised" or has somehow heard of Dany's army landing and is imploring her to join Jon in the great war to come. Dragons will be especially useful against those pesky white walkers. 

SER DAVOS

Ser Davos sits by Jon's side as does Sansa. If Jon is King in the North has he hired Ser Davos to be his Hand? It also sounds as though Jon has sent Ser Davos on a mission to get the rest of Westeros to wake up and turn to the war in the north. He tells someone that if they don't start fighting the real war it won't matter whose skeleton sits on the iron throne. Give 'em hell Ser Davos! 

THE LANNISTER'S ARE ATTACKED

There are a few theories about the scenes where the Unsullied are attacking Lannisters. It could be Casterly Rock or Lannisport, which are cities owned and operated by the Lannisters. 

WHERE THE HECK IS JORAH?

It seems clear from this fleeting scene that Ser Jorah's greyscale has gotten much worse and is that a prison cell he is in? This dude just can't catch a break. 

THERE'S STILL TIME FOR SEX

Regardless of the wars upon them, there is still plenty of time for recreational activities. Besides this scene with Grey Worm and Missandei, we also see Yara Greyjoy and Ellaria Sand getting very friendly with each other. 

JON HEADS NORTH OF THE WALL AGAIN

Jon and Littlefinger get into a scuffle in the crypts of Winterfell. Does Littlefinger know Jon's true parentage and the secret Ned Stark kept all those years? Also, Jon heads north of the Wall again as we see the gate under the Wall go up as well as the scene with Jon, Tormund and others running and banning in a circle. The producers said there would be an attack beyond the wall which is basically "a shark attack on dry land."  Which leaves...

... Sansa alone with Littlefinger whispering in her ear. Sophie Turner has stated that she is no lamb to Littlefinger's wolf. She knows he is manipulative and she manipulates him right back. He tells her she is the last best hope for the war to come. 

THAR BE DRAGONS!!! (AND DOTHRAKI)

Finally, the Dothraki made it across the Narrow Sea and we see a huge battle with Drogon and Dany flying overhead. This looks like pretty open land, so I'm not sure it's Kings Landing. They do seem to be making their way across Westeros though.

Only 44 more days to the premiere, which means I have a lot of work to do. As well as doing my usual blog I will be hosting a podcast for season 7. Be on the lookout mid-June for recap episodes of season 6!
