How will Sam Tarly negotiate the Maesters and their labyrinth-like library? Will Cersei and Euron Greyjoy (aka Tag Team Evil) obliterate some of their less intimidating enemies, like Olenna Tyrell (the Queen of Thorns) and Ellaria Sand (and her daughters, the underwhelming-so-far Sand Snakes)?

Pride and Prejudice, with one party haughty every second of every minute, and the other smouldering with righteous outrage. But I don’t want it to be a tired rehash of I really want these two to hit it off, which they will, in all probability. There are fascinating character dynamics to be savoured in the seventh season, none more so than Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen, an event fans have already dubbed ‘House Starkgaryen’. In the trailer, we already see Jon Snow facing off against a god-awfully large group of wights, in a shot that feels like a sequel to that heartbreakingly beautiful moment in season six episode nine, where he turns his back on the camera, and we see death, in the form of the rampaging Bolton army, staring at him from across the field. Which means that the Great War between the living and the dead will be underway any moment now (think sixth episode of this season). George RR Martin and the makers of the show have confirmed that we’re into the final two seasons.

Well, for starters, we know that the end is nigh. Game of Thrones, HBO and related service marks are the property of Home Box office, Inc.
