It has been close to two long years since the end of Game Of Thrones season 7, and in a month that affords us such few pleasures as January does, we have been dying for a fix.
And today, we got it.
The official HBO and Game Of Thrones Twitters released a trailer that whet all our appetites for April.

SPOILER ALERT AHEAD!
The seventh season left us in a state of extreme anxiety as the wall in the north came down, releasing hundreds of thousands of undead into the world of Westeros.

That's where it left us. Two YEARS ago. YEARS.
Needless to say, EVERYBODY has been waiting for this moment. With the announcement that season 8 is the final season, expectations are astronomical.

In fact, most people decided just words were not enough to adequately express how they were feeling.
