HBO has released the trailer for Game of Thrones Season 7 Episode 6, and you’d be forgiven for mistaking it for a trailer for a major blockbuster fantasy action movie. Indeed, as this trailer states, Winter is here, and next week’s episode (the second-to-last of this abbreviated season) looks to be a massive showdown between Jon Snow’s wily band of misfits and the Army of the Undead, lead by the Night King. Last night’s episode of Game of Thrones, titled “Eastwatch”, was very much a table-setting installment that paved the way for an action-packed episode such as this one, and given Game of Thrones’ proclivity for using its penultimate episodes to do the “big stuff” and the finales for the denouement, I’d say we’re in for a pretty intense time.
