HBOīut then, no one is showing a unified front. This schism helps Cersei, just as Sansa claimed, but it’s not like Sansa was comfortable being quiet when she saw issues with Jon’s leadership. Arya doesn’t quite trust Sansa’s motives, and the younger sister knows how powerful - and dangerous - that letter would be if shown to the “right” people. No one has seen it but Bran, and he’s barely human anymore.Īrya and Sansa have both been forced to grow up very quickly, under brutal circumstances, but the same patterns re-establish themselves now that they’re together. Nor has Sansa seen Arya’s training and revenge on their enemies. It’s easy to be hard on Arya for her reaction to Littlefinger’s setup from last week, but Arya hasn’t been able to see Sansa’s transformation in the same way we have. The White Walkers have a weapon that can do more than hurt the dragons for a bit it can kill them. The problem with riding mythical creatures into combat to see other mythical creatures is that you can never be sure about the power you’re about to witness. Daenerys would rescue our heroes at the expense of some redshirts I couldn’t name to save my life. Westeros’ fast-travel system would kick in. Once that situation was set up, the rest basically wrote itself.Ī raven would be sent to Dragonstone. It was easy to predict how this would play out once we saw our Suicide Squad from last week marooned on a piece of rock, surrounded on all sides by the White Walkers, with Gendry busting ass to get back to the Wall. Game of Thrones doesn’t work if it looks like one side has too much of an advantage, and Daenerys had three big advantages. Something had to give, and we’re running out of episodes. Tyrion was right about the risks Daenerys was willing to take - she has put everything on the line for questionable gains in the past - and he couldn’t keep repeating those warnings without something happening to justify them. And now I know,” Daenerys tells Jon at the end of the episode.
Watch the trailer, which is set to “Light of the Seven,” the awesome piano song that played as Cersei blew up the Sept of Baelor in last season’s finale, below.“You have to see it to know. We’ll find out who will survive the cull when Season 7 premieres on HBO on July 16. It sure sounds like Sansa believes killing off Stark children can’t suppress the family’s objective, but the wolf metaphor doesn’t allow for the team-up many fans are hoping for: Starks joining forces with the last remaining Targaryen. “When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies,” Sansa says in a voiceover at the end of the trailer over a shot that looks like Jon Snow. The trailer shows Jon Snow fighting beyond the Wall (alongside Beric Dondarion with a flaming sword), Lannister forces clashing with dragons and Dothraki, and an epic battle at sea. It seems like there are going to be a lot of battles to be fought. In a voiceover, he instructs her to not just fight battles in the North of the South, but to “fight every battle, everywhere.” The spot opens with Littlefinger counseling Sansa, which is worrying. On Wednesday, the network releases a second full-length trailer for the upcoming seventh season of the insanely popular series, and it. It’s the first day of summer, but HBO wants to remind Game of Thrones fans that Winter is (still) Coming.
