- Cersei slapping Tyrion
- Tyrion slapping Joffrey (again!)
- Dany in the House (w/o spoilers)
- Brienne chopping some dude’s hand off
- Arya praying
- Theon looking miserable
- Jon about to execute Ygritte (I almost wrote “Gwen” – too much Downton!)
Plus all the new characters of course. And direwolves.

Oh fantastic. The perfect end to my week. My thesis done and dusted and now a brand new trailer for GoT season 2! Yessssss.
I’d love to see Jaqen and hear him utter some of his catchphrases. And Stannis and his Onion Knight interacting would be appreciated. And of course Jon and that gorgeous backdrop that is Iceland.
Happy happy happy! :D

Hoping to see a bit more of the main new characters – Davos, Stannis and Melisandre – as well as Brienne and (hoping) Jaqen. (I don’t recall seeing him so far?) Did they make him up like in the books with white & red hair.
Maybe a bit of a face off between Cersei & Tyrion?
A bit more of Renly and his army.
Dany with Xaro Xhoan Daxos

Doubt that. There’s some heavy post-production involved in those sorts of shots. For now I expect some shots of the major characters, and some actual in-show dialogue would be great.
OhDanyBoyQuote Reply
Doubt you’ll see anything that requires extensive CGI outside the first few episodes. Chances are they are just now putting the finishing touches on the first two, maybe three episodes so the trailer will draw from that content.

I think it would be nice a trailer like Stannis claim for the Iron Throne in’Cold Winds’, but this time with Joffrey, Robb, or Renly (or Balon).
And in March we have one claim/trailer for every king!
Kings will clash! April is coming!

I’d love to see some proper shots of Brienne and of the character who is being called something other than Asha.
Also, I’m kind of excited to see Pod with Tyrion.
littlejanetQuote Reply
Not on topic but I found this link on Tumblr http://archive.foolz.us/tv/thread/18259847/#18260011 to this guy claiming to be an extra on Game of Thrones. He says he was in the Throne room when Joffrey has Sansa stripped and beaten and he says they actually filmed that scene with Sophie Turner. Would they actually film a scene like that with a 15 year old actress?

surfKrakenQuote Reply
First true trailer released last year was 2 minutes long so I’m expecting a lot more than the Cold Winds teaser released earlier. We should have some dialogue and then a rush of action sequences like last year I’d bet.
GOT first trailer
80+% of the visuals you can recognize from the first 3 episodes, most of that from the 1st epidode. I didn’t notice anything that took place beyond episode 7.
greenie88Quote Reply
If they keep with showing the important new characters maybe they will show Melisandre….
I guess they could capitalize on Peter Dinklage’s awards and show some of Tyrion being Hand-y….
If I had my wish it would be some Jon beyond the wall I think or Dany, but since it sounds like a lot of Dany’s story will be new I doubt they will show that footage.

Definitely need me some Melisandre, I’ve been dying for a proper look at her costume so that I can get in and cosplay TV!Mel before the rush. The wig is on the way, and I already have fabric in almost the right shade… now I just need some costume details! :P
In general I hope for some shots of Team Stannis, love me some Dillane!Stannis, Davos and Mel… and I most especially want to see the Hound. I will shriek, just like I do every time he’s in a BtS video or trailer.

KGQuote Reply
James,
It does happen.
Dakota Fanning was in a movie called ‘Hounddog’ that got a lot of flack for having a rape scene of the then 12 0r 13-year old actress. It was handled well in the end and a very effective, but tastefully done (as tasteful as a rape scene can be) scene that was not out of line.
I doubt anything will be shown, but implied nudity can still help express the power and emotion of the scene….
darquemodeQuote Reply
I swear I must have seen this trailer a thousand times, but now, after not seeing it for so long, I feel surprised that they showed so much footage. It feels like an extended trailer by a fan or something.
Mr. HollyoakQuote Reply
Back then, they had to introduce the show & characters to those who knew nothing about the books. With a successful Season 1 behind them, they don’t have to do quite so much this time.

I wanna see my ladies! (Brienne, Melisandre, Asha/Yara, Ygritte) Because we’ve only really gotten a glimpse of Mel and Brienne in a helmet. And Ygritte from reaaallyy far away. But also some Jaqen would be nice.
I just wanna see everyone!!

Everyone’s already mentioned all of the things I’d like to see (which is almost the entire season) but I’d love to see some of Yoren’s band of would-be black brothers & Arya (especially Joe Dempsie). Also, LOTS of Jon please :)

sjweningsQuote Reply
I want at least a snippet of the Battle of the Blackwater.
I’d *really* love to see a hint of Cersei and Sansa and Ser Illyn in the Great Sept during the Battle. Cersei’s explanation for why he was there was one of the most chilling bits in all five books.
Noob Takes the BlackQuote Reply
James,
There are numerous ways it could be done. The easiest option is to only strip her down to corset and petticoat. If they want to include the rest, add some shots of underwear being removed from an adult body double, along with head and shoulders shots of Sophie reacting. The more daring option would be to have Sophie wear a skin coloured bodysuit, so she’s not really naked, but would look so from a distance (careful angles may be required), and while curled over on the floor. All depends on legal issues and more importantly on what Sophie and her parents are willing to allow.
Back on topic, much as Arya’s prayer is great I think it’s too soon to use that for a trailer, it references people she hasn’t met yet.
I’d love to see Melisandre and Davos, Robb with his army, Brienne fighting, Tyrion and Cersei confronation, Jon looking at the landscape beyond the Wall and Dany’s dragons flying (though it may be too soon for the CGI?). And a Catelyn voiceover (partially from the books)- “Five kings go to war, my son among them. Young men think battle is a game. War will make them old, those who live. They are the knights of summer. And winter is coming.”
ShinyteapotQuote Reply
It doesn’t matter if the underage actress isn’t the one being stripped, and that it’s really a body double- you can’t depict that on American television. You could mention it after the fact or imply it happened, but never show it. They have fairly strict rules about that.
I would love to see at least a peek of Asha/Yara in the new trailer. And more Margaery, please.

I want to see the kings (and queen) that will be clashing:
Stannis (plus Melisandre and her pulsing ruby necklace)
The King in the North, Robb Stark
Balon (as well as Yara and Aeron)
Joffrey (and I would like to see what poor Sansa’s up to)
Renly (and a good shot of Brienne)
Daenerys (and her dragon puppies)
and Jon Snow, Arya, and Bran
Oh, just show everyone who’s important!
DreamlifeQuote Reply
Ours is the Fury,
Actually legally they can film a scene like that with Sophie and even show the nudity because it’s a nonsexual scene. Of course common sense would suggest that they would never do that because it wouldn’t go over well with people. The extra seems to be saying that Sophie was actually being stripped but would than cover herself so you couldn’t see anything. Even if they dont show any nudity in the scene it would still be very suspiring if HBO would film a scene like that with a 15 year actress and not use a body double. Part of me thinks they would never do that but then again last season they showed little Robin breastfeeding which I also thought HBO would never show.

she doesn’t have to be nude just a ripped sleeve will do it

Blueberry2Quote Reply
A shot or a hint of the dragons I think would be a must, especially for fans who haven’t read ahead. Season 1 ended with that spectacular dragon shot, seeing them again would really whet peoples’ appetites. Even if in reality the dragons are almost completely irrelevant for the next three books.

The prevailing speculation is that we may get some Jaime/Brienne road movie action this season. At the same time, there’s a good chance certain events from ACoK, such as the burning of Winterfell, may not occur this season.

Too bad where i live we don’t have ziggo… So i still have to download… Let’s hope Delta (the only provider where i live lol) gets HBO too but i doubt it cause they suck…
As for Sophie/Sansa. I doubt we’ll see her boobs but i doubt we’ll see a bodydouble either. Why would they film the scene like that otherwise. You’ll probably see her stripped from behind. She then covers up and we a shot from the front with her covered up… Anyhow real great work by Sophie by not ‘chickening out’ and showing everyone she is a real actress.
Really eager to see the trailer!! Especially excited to see Mel (=Carice) of course.

Absolutely not! That violates GRRM’s prose in a big way. A lot of ASOIF takes familiar fantasy tropes and dashes them. I love the fact Arya takes sword fighting lessons but she never wins a true swordfight and even gets Needle taken from her–she kills by stealth and surprise–not the formulaic way. Same deal with Jon–the bastard you really has (suspected) royal blood and possibly in line for the throne…but oh, he just swore his life to the Wall, so so much for that!

greenie88,
With respect – we all have our own personal hopes – if you disagree that’s your prerogative, but I care neither for your tone, nor for your outrageous sense of ownership of GRRM’s prose. As Neil Gaiman put it, he’s not your bitch – and I doubt very much that you have a hot line into his mind either. If there’s one thing we’ve all learnt about GRRM since Game of Thrones hove into view, it’s that he has the background to be able to take a fairly pragmatic view of the differing demands of the various media.
Nick LarterQuote Reply
Regarding the Sansa-stripping scene: They could definitely do it tastefully while still maintaining the impact of it. All they need do is show the men approaching to do it, then flash to the floor or lower the shot to the floor and show her torn clothes dropping to the ground. I think something like that would be jarring, and might also make for a good scene change or end of an episode.

Based off my experience with HBO, their programs never start at EXACTLY the time slot intended(in this case 9:00) usually because they’re showing previews of their other programs.’Luck’ wont start until 9:01-9:02. No worries friends, theres hope for a 2 minute plus trailer
