Entertainment Weekly is in the midst of a Game of Thrones-splosion. It’ll be releasing a double-issue tomorrow, and the show is at the center of it. To that end, it’s put 15 glossy promotional pics up on its website. Behold:

This shot is almost certainly the shot final product of the behind-the-scenes pic someone snapped months ago:
We knew there was no way Margaery, Daenerys, and Cersei could all be in the same scene this soon, or at all.

Entertainment Weekly’s double-issue will focus on the women of the show—each of its six covers will feature a different female character—so that’s why all the promotional shots feature these six actresses. It’s fun to see them in the same space, since that never seems to happen in the show. Above, we see what I imagine to be Brienne’s fantasy: a reality where she actually managed to find both Stark girls and keep them under her protection.

There are individual portraits, too. Here, Sansa lounges about in her badass black gear from early in Season 5. This isn’t what she was wearing when she jumped from Winterfell’s ramparts, though, nor what she’ll wear in the premiere, if the Season 6 still photos are any indication.

Here’s Daenerys sporting the outfit she wore when talking to Tyrion last year, although not the one she wore when she rode Drogon out of Daznak’s pit. Gotta love the little flaps on the sides.
This pic comes with an intriguing quote from Emilia Clarke, speaking about Daenerys: “She’s learning the last lesson she needs to learn. There’s just few remnants of being a human being she’s shaking off.” Interesting. Assuming Daenerys returns to Meereen, might she do it less as a benevolent queen and more as a dragon bringing fire and blood?
Arya is holding Needle in both her portrait here and on her cover. These shots don’t seem to have a ton of bearing on what will actually happen in the coming season, but it’s nice to think that Arya might fetch her beloved sword from beneath that rock at some point.
