HBO 15 minute teaser
I liked it quite a lot, but I have many of the complaints you have already expressed:
The white walker: we discussed about it in another thread, when we were commenting one of the clips, and I still have the same opinion. It is lame as hell, though thankfully we don't get to see its face quite as clearly as in that trailer.
Winterfell: I didn't like it AT ALL. Not only because of the weird aspect of the towers, but because of the surrounding space. I imagined it in a forest and with a little village outside its gates. Now it's in the middle of nowhere. Why would you like to build a castle there?
Will: the scene where they capture him is amazing, and the beheading as well, very haunting and visual. It is weird that the ww let him go, but they might have intended him to tell everyone that they were back.
The girl in the forest is creepy, but I would have preferred to have Ser Waymar Royce coming back as an undead with blue eyes, just as it was in the book.
What else... oh, Arya. Yes. The amazing kickass girl. They should have made her hit the target from the sewing room and with her eyes closed ¬¬ I've always had a problem with Arya, sometimes she has a kind of Mary-Sueness that makes me wonder why people think she is a more realistic than Sansa. Maisie is great, though, he can speak volumes with her eyes.
I liked the script very much, and the fact that Jon and Bran seem to be very close. It's not mentioned explicitly in the book, but Jon's reactions when Bran is in coma talk of a very good relationship. Also, as scorpi said, Jon's line "Father is watching. And your mother" is genius, though I doubt the audience will notice it.
It's completely normal that Lady Slynt has questions, I always have them when I start watching a new series. However, 750.000 viewers is not a very good number for such an advertised preview. Let's hope the premiere gathers more people, or the chances of seeing more seasons will vanish.
Close it
