If you're anything like us here, you were probably a little bewildered by at least a few shots in the Game of Thrones Season 7 trailer, and you probably have questions like, "Who were the enemies to the west?" "Who were those two people kissing?" and "Where is Bran?" But don't worry. It's a lot to keep track of, and while we can't tell you where Bran is, we can answer a lot of questions just by taking a closer look at the trailer footage, but first you should watch it here if you haven't seen it yet. (You won't regret it.)
But first.... Who do YOU think will sit on the Iron Throne?

Now, without further ado, here are 19 moments of the trailer interpreted for every fan, from the extremely puzzled to the avid loremaster.
1. "Enemies to the East"
Here, Cersei is referring to Daenerys' army of Unsullied and Dothraki soldiers, as well as her three massive dragons and, of course, the dragon-sized intellect of Tyrion Lannister.
2. "Enemies to the West"
Here, we see Euron Greyjoy's ship. If you're anything like me, you did not realize that the Greyjoys were in the west, but apparently, they are.
3. "Enemies to the South"
Dorne in the southernmost part of Westeros, is thought to be the home of this sword being sharpened.
4. "Enemies to the North"
Interestingly enough, it is Arya alone who is shown to be the enemy in the north. True, she has a personal vendetta against the Lannisters, and she is indeed a formidable enemy, but the true implications of her depiction instead of Jon Snow's, the king in the north's, may be that he'll be too busy fighting white walkers this season to be considered a threat to the Lannisters.
5. "We're the last Lannisters, the last ones who count."
Just a quick recap in case you somehow managed to forget The Winds of Winter, Cersei and Jaime's last remaining child, Tommen, committed suicide after Cersei bombed the Sept of Baelor, killing his beloved wife, Margaery. Tyrion is now returning to Westeros after joining forces with Daenerys against his brother and sister.
6. "I was born to rule the seven kingdoms, and I will."
Daenerys seems to have taken Dragonstone, her birthplace and the former ancestral home of the Targaryens, which was more recently inhabited by Stannis Baratheon. From here, she will launch her conquest of Westeros.
7. "Your father and brothers are gone, yet here you stand, last, best hope against the coming storm."
So, basically, Littlefinger is still saying weird stuff to Sansa. That's nothing out of the ordinary. But what about Jon? Is he not right here? Is he not her brother? And where is Bran Stark? Will he be bowing out of this season, too? So many questions!
8. Melisandre looks over a wall.
After being banished from the presence of Jon Snow, Melisandre is now somewhere else, but where is she? She seems to be in Dragonstone, probably about to team up with Daenerys. Magical witch plus magical dragons could be a magically powerful combination.
9. Littlefinger lurking.
In case you weren't able to figure out who that was lurking in the corner, you probably still won't be even remotely surprised to find out that it was Peter Baelish.
10. Dothraki in Westeros
Good news! It seems that they survived the journey across the water for the most part!
11. Some people attacking a burning ship.
We would think that fire would denote the presence of dragons and that this would be Dany's doing, but you see here that at least one man is carrying a torch, and these seem to be experienced sear raiders. Our money is on the Greyjoys orchestrating this attack. But whose ship is it?
12. "If we don't put aside our enmities and bound together we will die, and then it doesn't matter whose skeleton sits on the Iron Throne."
Just a reminder, Davos is up north with Jon Snow and the white walkers. He's almost definitely trying to get them to reconcile with the wildlings.
13. Jon Snow is beating up Littlefinger.
The figure Jon attacks is shadowy here, but on closer inspection it proves to be Baelish lurking in the shadows again. Why? I don't know, probably for basically selling Sansa to the Boltons, but we'll just have to wait and see I guess.
14. A very creepy hand reaching through a window in a door.
Admittedly, we have no idea who this arm belongs to, but based on its condition, we think the most likely candidate may be Ser Jorah Mormont, who was stricken with grayscale earlier and whose condition may have progressed to this stage by now.
15. Jon Snow and Tormund running away from...
You guessed it: White Walkers.
16. Missandei and Grey Worm look like they're finally about to get it on.
In spite of the fact that Grey Worm is an Unsullied soldier, he and Missandei have been rolling in sexual tension for a while now, and we might be about to see where it leads to!
17. And, surprise! So do Yara Greyjoy and Ellaria Sand?
What's surprising about this is not that Yara or Ellaria is making out with another lady. Yara has shown interest in women exclusively so far, and Ellaria is a well-known bisexual. What we can't figure out is how these two ended up in the same place and why they're there together.
18. Dragon in action!!!
This one wasn't actually hard to figure out at all, but LOOK HOW COOL IT IS.
19. "The Great War is here."
This isn't exactly a spoiler either, but what's interesting about this statement, issued by Jon Snow, is that it's much more likely that he's speaking about the war against the white walkers in the north than all the political stuff happening down south.
