Game of Thrones Screencap Breakdown: “The Queen’s Justice” Trailer
We get a quick shot of Grey Worm donning his helmet. The time for love with Missandei is over (only temporarily, we hope). Now it’s time for war.
Tracking shot of Jaime striding through an archway, probably at King’s Landing…but we can’t be certain. The greenery looks a little out of place for winter in King’s Landing.
Euron bowing in the Red Keep Throne Room. It looks like this is post-parade, and he’s presenting himself as the victor complete with spoils, and in this case the spoilers are named Yara Greyjoy, Ellaria Sand and Tyene Sand. We sure hope Cersei isn’t going to apply “The Queen’s Justice” to those poor women. And we really hope they aren’t going to become part of the Frankenmountain’s horror-harem. (Has anybody seen Septa Unella lately?)
A much-used shot of Sansa looking apprehensive in the Winterfell godswood. What’s on her mind here? The shot is held for a long time.
Here’s another familiar shot of the Unsullied breaching the gate at Casterly Rock.
Above is a quick shot of an Unsullied soldier leaping from a boat into shallow water. The battle for Casterly Rock will happen on land and sea.
The Lannister archers nock and draw, ready to unleash hell.
Lannister soldiers and Unsullied crash together in battle.
After all that quick-cutting action, things slow down. Fade to black and fade in on Jon Snow and Ser Davos as they are led into the Dragonstone throne room by Tyrion and Missandei.
Ser Davos and Jon are impressed by what they see …
The powerhouse Daenerys Targaryen on a throne carved from rock. Cue punchy musical finale.
There we have it. If we weigh upcoming storylines simply by screen time, it looks like we’ll spend most of our time with Euron’s triumphant return to King’s Landing, the Unsullied assault on Casterly Rock and the arrival of Jon Snow and Ser Davos at Dragonstone. But even though we see nothing of characters like Arya and Sam, we shouldn’t count them out. After all, that may just mean they’re involved with scenes HBO doesn’t want to give away in the trailer.
