HBO Year End Video Features Game of Thrones

As has started to become something of a habit for HBO’s Game of Thrones, it gets something like pride of place in their end of season trailers that promote both what came before (such a shame that Luck seemed to deserve only a split second glance of Dustin Hoffman—that was a beautiful show) and also what’s to come.
