Game Of Thrones Preview: What To Expect From S5E8 Hardhome

2. Daenerys €˜Breaks The Wheel€™

The teaser released starts with Daenerys in her throne room, addressing Tyrion and Jorah, although her words are more likely aimed at the latter, and suggest his attempts at reconciliation still aren€™t going too well: €œWhy should the people trust a Queen who can€™t keep her promises?€ After last week€™s big meeting of the pair, it looks like we€™re going to get straight into them actually talking this week, and it€™ll be very interesting to see just how Daenerys reacts to Tyrion and what she does with him, although it is likely he€™ll become an advisor of hers. The season 5 trailer was built around a big speech from Daenerys, where she stated she intended to €œbreak the wheel€ of power in Westeros. Might we finally see that speech delivered here, with Tyrion the audience? And Tyrion€™s response to that could be what leads to him joining her. Fans of book and show have waited a long time for their meeting, so the showrunners will be doing their best to make sure it does not disappoint.
