So, we have the first more substantial trailer/teaser for season 2 of Game of Thrones. Still very much liking the look of Melisandre. Conleth Hill’s Varys continues to impress—his voice is perfect and I definitely heard it in my head when I read the last chapter of A Dance with Dragons—and so does Sophie Turner’s Sansa. Do like the use of that particular piece of dialogue from Varys, the riddle has long-term implications. Fake Aegon, anyone?
On the other hand, I am dreading what Margaery will be like and I really hope they’ll leave it up in the air as to whether Renly has bedded her, though it sure didn’t look like it would be left ambiguous from that one shot… But it could still be the case.
I am also, I am afraid, dreading their take on Dany for this season even more after her little bit of shrill, hysterical yelling. That just isn’t Dany in A Clash of Kings.
