HBO was showing a nice long juicy Season 5 trailer on the big screen and it’s leaked to the internet.
This one is a good one, and certainly draws together the plot threads from books 4 and 5 in a more coherent and appealing way than the novels pitched, at least in summary. Interesting how, as usual, the show is more explicit about major currents than George R R is himself, for example the clearly implied allegiance of Varys (to Dany and “the realm”) and his sending Tyrion after her (which was so frustratingly CENSORED in book 5).
