HBO has released a new clip from the final season of Game of Thrones. It’s only a few seconds long, but when have we fans needed more than that to hope on the hype train?
Daenerys Targaryen arrives at Witnerfell and exchanges pleasantries with Sansa Stark, all while Jorah Mormont, Brienne of Tarth and Jon Snow look on. The internet promptly exploded:

Even the competition was hyped:
I NEEEEEEED THE TRAILER SO BAD. COME ON ALREADY!!!!

HBO also reacted to itself:
yes, @TrueDetective season 3 is as good as it looks
— HBO (@HBO) January 7, 2019
yes, that is in fact the goddess @Zendaya
yes, @watchmen is kick ass
yes, Sansa did say what you think she said
yes, #BigLittleLies is returning with all 5 queens plus MERYL STREEP
no, you cannot borrow my HBO log in#HBO2019
And just what did Sansa say to Daenerys? “Winterfell is yours, your Grace.” That’s pretty much what Sansa’s dad Ned Stark said to Robert Baratheon when that king visited Winterfell in the first episode of the series:
Here’s a picture-in-picture image so you can see just how Sansa and Dany are reacting to each other:

A LOT of fans watched this and concluded that Sansa, who spent the first several seasons of the show suffering under the thumbs of various noble asshats and the last couple making sure she was in charge of her own life, did not seem eager to turn over control of Winterfell to this platinum-haired stranger from across the Narrow Sea. A sampling of their reactions:

Basically, it’s agreed: you could cut the tension in this scene with a dull butter knife:
Others focused more on Daenerys’ role in this meet-and-greet…

…while still others wondered about absent friends:
It looks like battle lines are being drawn, but there are those wonder: can’t we all just get along?
Sansa And Dany would be the biggest power couple the show would have ever seen and you all know it’s true pic.twitter.com/8GpefhbhzS

Of course, Sansa and Daenerys aren’t the only characters in this promo. Everyone notice Brienne hanging out in the back?
Naturally, different people interpreted Brienne’s look differently:
Sansa is eyeing Danny up and down like she is a piece of shit tramp her brother brought home. Brienne is looking at Sansa like whew chile, you don't know who you fucking with. @WiCnet #taketheblack pic.twitter.com/sPN2PpFaTB

And we can’t forget about Ser Jorah Mormont, just happy to be here:

Finally there’s Jon Snow. As with Brienne, how fans interpret his look changes from person to person:
Danny already knows Sansa is going to be a problem. Jon is, of course, completely oblivious. Boat sex with Danny has him hypnotized. #JonSnowStillKnowsNothing @WiCnet #taketheblack pic.twitter.com/bJNxSa3ggg

Look at this man’s face. He is so pleased with himself. Jon Snow’s like, yes this is my lady Daenerys. 😂 pic.twitter.com/Z3JRO8wERC
