1 minute 7 seconds approximately, it looks like it could be a duel.

One of them is clearly Oberyn, and the other is using his left hand, so it's likely Jaime. because there are no lefties in Westeros?
Do we know anyone famous and left handed in Westeros?

Arya Stark is (if you consider her famous).
Needle is always in her left hand when she wields it.

in the trailer at 1.25 the mountain is cutting up some poor slave dude??? theres no way he could have been in the city where danny is? unless that poor slave dude is oberyn??? i paused to look but its kinda hard to make out doesnt seem to be him
i wonder if tyrion calls oberyn to be his champion and cersi calls the mountain and thats how they fight,that way oberyn kills the mountain and tyrion goes free :D
|
From what I can tell it looks like the Mountain.
|
There is literally no way you can know it's the mountain based on the trailer alone. Considering we haven't seen the mountain yet this season, and they got a new actor to play him this season, purely from what HBO has given us it's a baseless claim.

The armor looks identical to that of season 1 Mountain. :/

Some of the other trailers show a bit more of that scene.

the screen shot from that trailer definitely kinda looks like the mountain super blurry tho
+ Show Spoiler +
i dont think its jamie the guy looks bigger i think two handing his massive sword (which jamie cant do) and black armor, wouldnt jaime be fighting in the kingsguard gold coloured one?

Yeah no way it's jamie.

That is one trailer of the 4. Watch all 4 of the season trailers + the scenes from the foreshadowing and you will see lots of different angles on that fight, including a shot directly on him in the foreshadowing at 37 seconds. It is clearly a large man holding a giant great sword in one hand in the same armor the mountain from season 1 was wearing. Episode 8 is titled The Mountain and the Viper. It is the mountain. No one else can wield the sword he is carrying.

I don't exactly know how well the wildlings can climb the walls like Jon did with Ygritte, but if they aren't that organized/skilled I guess a la 300 at the maingate makes most sense. Open battle obviously is out of the question :D
this would be true except for the fucking giants. they like one-shot the gate and there goes your choke point.

well can the giants fit in the tunnel of the wall? they might be able to break that outer wall gate but if they cant get in and rangers should still have the inner gate( which giants couldnt touch, and well as the choke point)

in season 1 you can see how huge the tunnel is. i think a giant might fit through. and even then its still like 100-200 vs ~200k + an ambush.

Game of Thrones Linguist David Peterson:
"One of the biggest [Easter Eggs] is from Episode 3 this season. There's a scene where the Meereenese rider is challenging Daenerys' champion. He's shouting and Nathalie Emmanuel [Missandei] is translating – but she's not translating what he's saying. He's actually saying a Low Valyrian translation of the French guy's insults in 'Monte Python and the Holy Grail.' That was [series creator] Dan Weiss's idea and it was so hilarious that I had to do it."

I never watch all those preview videos, they usually give away so much. I'd rather just watch an episode open minded.

Damn right! I never watch previews of the next week. Just like I hate it when I'm in the cinema and they show the trailer for the film I'm ABOUT TO WATCH. *palm*
