Does 'Game of Thrones' Season 7 Hint at the Future, or Prove We've Gone Too Far With Fan Theories?

The first teaser for “Game of Thrones” Season 7 came out Thursday, and fans are already scouring it for clues.

One Reddit user, FacelessGreenseer, looked deep into one section of the teaser and theorizes that there may be more to it than meets the eye. A White Walker eye, to be exact.

FacelessGreenseer says that when looking deep into the icy-blue iris, which appears at the end of the trailer, you can see reflections of certain objects.

On the right, the user claims, you have an image of the Wall with a crack in it. On the left, you have what look like White Walkers standing in a circle.

Are they reading too much into this? Maybe/probably. But it’s still fun to play along.

After all, “Game of Thrones” is a show and book series built on fan theories and over time, fans are going to look too far in order to find answers.

Most of Reddit isn’t buying into it, comparing the current situation to the one before the final season of “Breaking Bad” when everybody was going over every small detail to get answers.

The thing is, FacelessGreenseer is probably correct in predicting the Wall will break, but not because of some vague images in what is most likely a randomly generated pattern.

When people in the show say “winter is coming,” they’re referring to not only literal winter, but also the coming of the White Walkers. We couldn’t have winter without the White Walkers making an appearance, and they’ll most likely play a big part in Season 7.

It’s actually pretty easy to break the Wall too. All you need is the Horn of Winter, or the Horn of Joramun, which is rumored to be able to take down the Wall when blown. It’s mostly referred to as a legend in the books, but like many things that were also called legends — dragons, warging, the First Men — it’ll probably end up being real.

The Horn of Winter hasn’t shown up in the show yet as far as we know, but a mysterious horn was introduced in Season 2, back when Sam and Grenn find a bundle of dragonglass wrapped in an old Night’s Watch cloak.

The two ignore it, focusing more on the glass that they eventually find can be used to kill the White Walkers, but what if the Horn of Winter has been with the Night’s Watch all along?

"Game of Thrones" Season 7 is imminent, and there's still a lot we don't know. But here are a few things we do know...
HBO
The premiere date
With a "watching ice melt" fan event, HBO revealed "Game of Thrones" will return on Sunday, July 16.
HBO
More reunions are coming
“It’s coming to a conclusion and people are forming alliances with other characters, maybe that they’ve seen before, maybe that they haven’t," Sansa Stark actress Sophie Turner told TheWrap. "There are definitely a few reunions happening this season — or unions.”
HBO
The number of episodes
Unlike the 10-episode seasons of the past, Season 7 will consist of only seven episodes. And Season 8 - the final season - will have even less: Six episodes to end it all.
HBO
Ed Sheeran will make a cameo
It will probably be blink-and-you-miss it, but Taylor Swift's BFF will make an appearance - and it was arranged as a surprise for superfan Maisie Williams during filming.

The new tagline
"Fear is for the winter" is a callback to Season 1, and certainly promises the season that's been predicted to come to Westeros for seven years now.
HBO
It will focus on core characters
There are "less characters coming in" this season, said Jon Snow actor Kit Harington in a recent interview. "They’re focusing in on the existing ones, and there are lots of people who cross paths, and that’s something that I think the audience has been waiting for for a long time."
HBO
There are some new cast members
Jim Broadbent is the biggest name to join Season 7, while Freddie Stroma's role, Dickon Tarly, has been recast. Sam's older brother will now be played by Tom Hopper.

Bigger dragons are coming
“The dragons this year are the size of 747s,” director Matt Shankman told Entertainment Weekly. “Drogon is the biggest of the bunch — his flame is 30-feet in diameter!”
HBO
At long last: a meeting (spoiler!)
A paparazzi photo appears to show Jon Snow approaching Daenerys Targaryen. So, unless it's for a piece of promotional material -- or a fake-out -- the titular "song of ice and fire" is about to begin for real, at last.
HBO
The directors
Series vets Alan Taylor, Jeremy Podeswa and Mark Mylod are all returning to direct episodes, while Matt Shakman, best known for directing a plethora of episodes of "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia," is stepping behind the "GoT" cameras for the first time.
HBO
A fan favorite returns?
Arya's pal Gandry hasn't been seen since Season 3, rowing off into the distance. But could he finally be returning? According to ever-reliable fan airport sightings, yes.
