How can there be only two episodes remaining in the Game of Thrones saga?

But there’s no time to stop, lift a glass of Arbor Gold, and reflect. HBO aired a trailer for episode 5 Sunday night after the show, and things are only getting more tense.

The teaser didn’t offer any spoilers, but Cersei looked smug, Tyrion looked nervous, and Euron was checking those skies for a certain flying blowtorch. And hey, Jon Snow, good thing you took the Pony Express instead of riding your dragon after all.

Game of Thrones‘ second-to-the-last episode airs May 12 on HBO.
