HBO finally dropped a trailer for Game of Thrones Season 7
and I am so pumped!
They didn’t actually show us any footage of the coming
season, just what appears to be stone statues of all the major house sigils. As
though we could forget all the major players of the game: Targaryen, Baratheon,
Stark, Lannister, Tyrell.
This was a nice, quick little look back over the main events
of the past six seasons. The voiceovers were carefully chosen. It makes you think
about what all has happened and realize how many people have died and how small
the number of remaining people in each of these houses is. The Tyrells are
pretty much gone, as are the Baratheons and Targaryens. There’s only a few main
players left from each house, and there’s so much that needs to be resolved and
revealed. But will these house loyalties mean anything in the end? Possibly
not.
I loved the ending of the trailer, when the statues all
break and fall to form the symbol associated with the Children…and the Others. The
rivalries that exist between the houses must break apart for them to unite and band
together against the White Walkers and the Others. The pull back into an ice
blue eye was enough hype to last me for a while. July needs to get here soon!
