It's weird seeing Daenerys with only 2 dragons.
Though I suspect she'll get a Pet Cemetery-style reunion with Viserion.

I'm really curious to know what the dragons apparently incinerated at 1:24 in the trailer. Lots of bones there.

Quote HistoryQuoted:
I'm guessing we will see that. Although she will be talking about the White Walkers. Then we will get some convoluted story about how the Mad King wasn't really mad and was living in some alternate dimension in his brain and was referring to the White Walkers when he gave orders to burn them all. Wouldn't I want HBO Now? Quote HistoryQuoted:
Quoted: I want to hear Emilia Clarke screaming "BURN THEM ALL" before this is over. Quoted: HBO go If it wasn't the intent through time-travelling Bran warging into the Mad King, it will be re-purposed as such. We already know that winter hits KL hard and destruction happens (1st season vision of the ruined Red Keep looks like aftermath of dragonfire), and they have shown only one of the many wildfire caches the Mad King had placed. |

Also I think her looks are overrated. Some people talk about how gorgeous she is, but in 8 seasons I don't personally think she's ever been the most attractive woman in her own storyline.
Kinda funny when you consider a girl on the show 10+ years younger than her is a better actress and a woman on the show 10+ years older than her has a better body. |

Am I the only one who thinks that this is going to be some kind of tragic love story ending?
Clearly the Night King and Daenerys are meant for each other. The both are hell bent on a conquering everything, forcing people to serve them, and killing all that resist. Daenerys loves to talk while the night king really speaks. In their free time they like to ride around on dragons and torch people/things. It’s taken eight seasons for these two to finally meet. I think it’s going to be love at first sight. I’m sure John Snow will try to pit them against each. His fit of jealously will put the whole worlds fate at risk. Daenerys’ forces will prevail in the battle. She’ll be forever heartbroken that her “soulmate” was lost in battle. She will have lost her desire to rule and Cersei will stay seated at the throne. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
You are certainly not alone. IME, it seems the bigger a fan a person is of the show/books the less likely they are to like Daenerys while the more casual a person is in their fandom the more likely they are to like her. Most of the people I know that like her probably couldn't even tell you her full name. Take away her dragons and I bet her popularity would plummet. It also doesn't help that Emilia Clarke is a shit actress. Especially compared to the other actors on the show. Hell, 11 year old Maisie Williams in S1 with ZERO acting experience was a better actress than Emilia Clarke is. Kit Harrington use to be pretty bad too, but I think he's definitely improved.

Some points that seem like "something"to me.
Arya held her own , if not prevailed , sparring with fucking Brienne. She hasn't been in a battle, but shes no slouch, either. Bran saw "Burn them all" from the mad king. He can warg. He's going to Warg the Ice Dragon. Jon and Dany will be riding live dragons. Tormund needs to put the wood to sweet Lady Brienne. Boom chicka bow wow! Personally, I cant fucking believe we had to wait this long, I'm super happy we are about to see the end, and I really hope D-D do NOT fuck this up. |

 Attached FileI'm excited to see the Golden Company and their war elephants! The dude overlooking them on the ship in the preview looks like he'll play some major role in the season. I have a theory that they will sack Kings Landing upon arrival (ala Lannister style) and Jon/Daenerys will have to take it back by force with whatever survives of their armies. Anyone else think we'll see the famed sword, Dawn, enter the fray? The way the camera zoomed in on it during Jon's birth was a bit telling.. |

They undoubtedly spent a big chunk of their CGI budget on that one scene meanwhile after episode 2 we have a living direwolf on screen for about 20 seconds the rest of the season.

In addition it seems some people don't like how she has had a relatively easy ride the past 5 seasons compared to most of the other major characters. I think Sansa suffers from the same problem. In the books, the last thing we see from her is the beginnings of her blossoming from the stupid girl to a player in the game of thrones. Remember she is still in the Eyrie and has just fooled the Lords Declarant in favor of Littlefinger, the bastards she knows. And Littlefinger has just revealed his plan to marry her to a very worthy candidate, Harrold the Heir, a strong knight and the next Lord of the Vale when sickly little Robin inevitably dies. In show, of course, D&D combined her character with fake Arya, which completely fucked her character arc. I'm eager to see how GRRM develops these characters without HBO's interference. |
