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

5. Jaime Has A Promise To Keep

Game of Thrones Season 8 Trailer
HBO

Jaime Lannister promised to fight for the living, and he's bloody well going to keep that promise, as he sternly explains to... someone.

Chances are this moment is when Jaime arrives at Winterfell, and explains to everyone there that, shock, Cersei has indeed betrayed them and won't be sending her army to join the fight. Regardless of her plans, though, he is going to honour that promise, which we know because he is indeed fighting for the living later in the trailer. It's going to be fascinating to see Jaime at Winterfell, not least because of the various character permutations: there's Brienne, obviously, but also Bran, who he last saw when pushing him from a window, and even Daenerys, who he was charging towards last time they met.
