Game Of Thrones Season 8 Trailer Breakdown: 21 Things You Need To See

By James Hunt /

9. A Tale Of Two Cerseis

HBO

There are two very different shots of Cersei in this trailer. Below, we have her looking happy at the docks of King's Landing, presumably watching Euron return with the Golden Company (a Throne Room shot shows them all together, so we know they make it back safe).

But it's the one above that's really interesting. Drinking wine is nothing new, but the tears in the eyes are. is this news of something bad happening to Jaime? Or more simply a realisation that, despite her belief of being safe in the south, everything really is absolutely f**ked? Another possibility is that she's drinking something to kill her unborn child, but after all she's lost, it feels like she wouldn't do that at this stage. Might she have had a miscarriage? She is drinking wine, something she refused last season because of her pregnancy.

Here's that Throne Room shot. Cersei is flanked by two figures - Qyburn and the Mountain - and speaking to another two. One is Harry Strickland, and the other is presumably Euron (some have speculated it's Sansa, but that seems wild at this point).
