Winter is coming back.

Winter is coming back, and this time it's bringing more death, more political intrigue and more scheming than fans of Game Of Thrones have seen in all of the past four seasons. HBO have finally released the first trailer for the show's epic-looking fifth season, promising significant deviations from the books, more screen time for beloved old characters and a whole raft of new characters as the already vast settings are supplemented by visits to Dorne, Pentos and Braavos as the great game continues. By all accounts, it looks like fans are in for a hell of a ride. Some serious story revelations are coming - including the return of a slain character (if the teaser is anything to go by) - and new plots and war games, including an uprising against Daenerys and strange new alliances. It really can't get here quick enough, but while you wait, here's an extensive look at everything the trailer showed. And perhaps now's the perfect time to go back and watch all of seasons 1 to 4 in their entirety. Again.

52. The Harpy Falls

And as the trailer closes out, a giant golden harpy statue is pulled down and tumbles down the side of a pyramid.

Was this the action that lead to the Sons Of The Harpy rebellion rising? It would certainly make sense, and since it seems to be a prominent symbol of the slavers, it would clearly be a symbolic gesture in Dany's attempt to "break the wheel".
