Game of Thrones Season 7 Trailer #2 (2017 – HBO) “Winter is Here”

 

At the end of last season, Daenerys’ (Emilia Clarke) dragons and her immense army were finally on the way to Westeros, where Cersei (Lena Headey) has now become Queen after the death of her children. The Night King’s (Vladimir Furdik in season 6) army is heading south, and a battle appears to be imminent.

Though we don’t know exactly what’s coming, Maisie Williams, who plays Arya Stark, tweeted this last year: “Just finished reading season 7, s**t gets REAL. I’d start preparing yourselves now… scratch that, nothing will prepare you for this… Holy BALLS.”

The show is based on the novel series “A Song of Ice and Fire” by George R.R. Martin. Last season, however, the TV series moved past the point where the books have stalled.

Game of Thrones, The Night King, Bran Stark

HBO has announced there are 15 episodes left in Game of Thrones that will be broken up over two abbreviated seasons (during which Martin still won’t have it done).  Due to harsh weather, filming on season seven has been delayed and the premiere date with it.  Your next trip to Westeros won’t be until Summer 2017 for a seven-episode season.  So savor the brilliance that was season six with this blu ray package, because we’re on hold a bit.

HBO Home Entertainment has officially announced and detailed its upcoming Blu-ray release of Game of Thrones: The Complete Sixth Season. The release will be available for purhcase on November 15.

The most-watched series in HBO history and a worldwide TV phenomenon, Game of Thrones returns with another power season. This year, after the shocking developments at the end of Season 5 – including Jon Snow’s bloody fate at the hands of Castle Black mutineers, Daenerys’ near-demise at the fighting pits of Meereen, and Cersei’s public humiliation in the streets of King’s Landing – survivors from all parts of Westeros and Essos regroup to press forward, inexorably, towards their uncertain individual fates. Familiar faces will forge new alliances to bolster their strategic chances at survival, while new characters will emerge to challenge the balance of power in the east, west, north and south.

Trailer Time: Game of Thrones Season 6 Trailer #1 *Let There Be War!*

Game of Thrones Season 6 has been kept under tight wraps by HBO, because it is the film in which the seasons pass the number of books George R.R. Martin has completed.  Will he ever finish or will he just let HBO tell his story?  It’s a cluster(naughtyword) unprecedented in adapting a work of fiction, that the adapter defines the original work of fiction.  With the season premiere only six weeks out on April 24th, HBO has released a red-band trailer for season six.  I’m eagerly anticipating my season five Blu Rays so I can be caught up, but never would I deprive you of a visit to Westeros.  Also included is the super-creepy second teaser for the sixth season released a week or so ago.

Trailer Time: Game of Thrones Season 6 Teaser #1 *Is Jon Snow Alive?*

Full disclosure: I am not watching any season six trailers until I can catch up on season five, which aired whilst I annoyingly did not have access to HBO.  The big cliffhanger at the end of book five and season five is Jon Snow’s apparent death, which if you thought was going to stick, well, you need to read more comic books.  You’ll take death a lot less seriously.

What is a good question is, when is George R.R. Martin going to release book six in the series: The Winds of Winter?  We heard all during the fall that a 2016 release date was going to be announced and the manuscript was done, but nothing official is out there.  Does season six start adapting Winds of Winter or does it continue Dance of Dragons?  Either way, it seems impossible that Martin is going to be able to get out the rest of the books in time to have the HBO show overtake him and finish his story on the screen before it’s written out on the page.  That’s a shame, but at least someone is going to give us closure eventually.
