New extended trailer. Mostly stuff we've seen, but some new tidbits (like what I think is our first view of the Winterfell Godswood at :13 in).

HBO have hit us with a new trailer - which is excellent - and a new website called The Maester's Path.
The latter is a new interactive puzzle site where, each week from now to early April, a fresh puzzle will be unveiled. Rather like those old LOST alternate-reality games, solving the puzzles requires some strategic googling of other websites. In this case, HBO sent out presentation boxes packed with maps, scrolls and symbols to various critics and bloggers last week. These boxes contained intriguing symbols, which Westeros.org has handily coallated here (the comments from the appropriate entry on the Winter is Coming site contain the solution, but it's pretty easy).
The reward for the first puzzle is our first full scene from the TV series, and an iconic moment from the books

In that iron throne trailer when that guy at the end is whispering "I'll kill the whole bloody lot of them...and so on" Who's that whispering there?
Screw you all, and have a nice day!

Jaime, trying to reassure Cersei that Bran won't talk.

Nah, you'll just be dead, and beyond such worldly cares. So no worries
Hey - maybe you'll exist outside of time, so when you're dead, you can see the entire series unfold all at once. See? I take a bad situation and see the upside!
I hope your death is not too painful though.
OK, I think I got it, but just in case, can you say the whole thing over again? I wasn't really listening.

Do you know yet how you'll die? Can we vote on it?
I'm torn between parachute not opening, and getting caught in some sort of industrial stapling apparatus.

I was thinking of that scene in Monty Python's The Meaning Of Life where the guy wants to die by being chased off a cliff by a bunch of topless chicks on roller skates.

If you click on the letters of the "Seek the..." bit, it takes you to links that will explain (kind of...)
Don't look now, but I think there's something weird attached to the bottom of my posts.

How long do you guys think the series will be? For all we know, it could end after the first.
I am hoping for 3-4 seasons based on the first 3 books (since the first 3 books is really the "Game of Thrones" part.)

While the first book will be one series, later ones may demand more - Storm of Swords and Feast for Crows are both ridiculously long, so can probably manage two seasons each, I think we worked out on a different forum that, assuming ratings are good, and it isn't cancelled, it should be 6 or 7 years before they've finished up with what's been written already. So hopefully he'll have finished aDwD by then......
