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

6. Jon Mirrors Ned

This is my personal favourite shot in the entire trailer, with Jon Snow in the Godswood, underneath the old weirwood tree.

This scene is very similar to one we've seen before with Ned Stark, and it basically screams Season 1. It really hammers home the feeling of things coming full circle and to an end, but it's also important to note that, while Jon may not actually be Ned's offspring by birth, he is very much a product of his upbringing.

NCTJ-qualified journalist. Most definitely not a racing driver. Drink too much tea; eat too much peanut butter; watch too much TV. Sadly only the latter paying off so far. A mix of wise-old man in a young man's body with a child-like wonder about him and a great otherworldly sensibility.
