Looking forward to: Analysis of the Game of Thrones Season 4 trailer


WINTER IS COMING (in April).



Disclaimer: I have never read any of the Game Of Thrones books.




Things we learned from this trailer:

-Jon Snow has healed from his Ygritte wounds (at least the physical ones).
-Tyrion Lannister is in trouble for something and it looks pretty serious.
-Cersei is fighting with her dad again (possibly about Jaime?).
-Ygritte is still pissed and flinging arrows.
-Arya is back to her badass, sword-wielding ways.
-Joffrey still draws breath.
-As does Theon (sans manhood).
-Jaime got a haircut and a heavy looking prosthetic hand.

Rugged, Season 3 hair.



Even Jaime isn't feeling his new haircut.


So it looks like season 4 will be chock full of bloodshed, tears and power grabbing. Will Arya ever get her vengeance? Why is Tyrion in chains? Will Jaime be a changed man after everything he went through? Will we ever see him and Brienne interact again? What new, sinister plot is Littlefinger hatching? How many of Bran's crow dreams will we have to endure this season? Will Jon Snow ever love again? Will crossbows be a part of Margaery and Joffrey's wedding night? Will Sansa's life ever get better? How much longer will we be forced to listen to the "Red Priestess" talk in riddles? Will I ever bring myself to care about Theon and all his problems? And most importantly: WHERE IS GENDRY?

Also, lets talk about this shot for a second:



That large, dark spot is the shadow of a dragon flying overhead. Are those Daenerys' dragons? How big are they now? Is this a dream sequence? 




Notable new additions to the cast:
-Prince Oberyn Martell ("the Red Viper") will be played by Chilean actor Pedro Pascal
-Tycho Nestoris, a representative of the Iron Bank of Braavos, will be played by Sherlock star & co-creator Mark Gatiss 

Notable re-castings:
-the object of Daenerys' affectionDaario Naharis, will be replaced by actor Michiel Huisman
-King Joffrey's youngest brother, Tommen Baratheon, will be replaced by actor Dean-Charles Chapman 






Season 4 premiere date: Sunday April 6, 2014
