Game Of Thrones Season 7 Trailer Reactions: 7 Ups And 3 Downs

4. The Focus On Cersei

The trailer opens on Cersei Lannister, who has an awesome new map room in the Red Keep. If HBO don't start selling these then they're really missing a trick.

Cersei continues to dominate for the first third of the trailer, and it's great that so much of the focus is on her. Over the years she has become one of the show's most fascinating characters, helped in no small part by Lena Headey's brilliant performance, and she looks every inch the Evil Queen as she sits on the Iron Throne, with zero f**ks left to give (although that's probably not going to go well for her).
