These days there’s a lot of talk about the “cinematic” nature of television. And as much as we may continue to bemoan the loss of methodically crafted character moments and court politics, the latter is a proposition that may well propel Game of Thrones into the annals of television history. It’s best case scenario: 7-hours akin to Mad Max: Fury Road. In the worst case scenario, this season is going to be a 7-hour Michael Bay movie.

Having just sat through a punishing three-hour tour of Transformers: The Last Knight - the latest offering at the altar of Bayhem - and having now seen a second full trailer for Thrones S7, I’m ready to make an adjustment to our comparison. At this point, the show has earned the right to spend whatever it wants to spend and do just about any wild action thing that lives in the hearts of its two showrunners, David Benioff and Dan Weiss. It came from a place of seeing Thrones throw itself wholeheartedly into the final 13 hours of its story with extreme pace and budget-bombing action. In hindsight, we may have been a little zealous in our comparison. What we concluded, having only seen the first trailer, was that it’s entirely possible that season 7 might end up being the television equivalent of a Michael Bay movie. In a recent episode of A Storm of Spoilers, my co-host Joanna Robinson and I attempted to find a parallel for what we expect - from a scope and scale standpoint - in Game of Thrones season 7. If there’s one thing we can glean from the latest ‘Game of Thrones’ season 7 trailer, it’s that it will be like nothing we’ve ever seen.
