Good things come in sevens. The Secret Seven, The Magnificent Seven, the seven dwarves. The seven deadly sins, Seven the film. And now Game of Thrones, already a very good thing, is coming at your eyes in seven-style form, as the, yup, seventh season of the hit HBO show thwacks our screens like a big, badass battle axe. Oh, there are also Seven Kingdoms in Game of Thrones, which is another good thing, although the Kingdom of the Stormlands is a bit shit and always rainy.
Season 7 promises to focus on the war between humankind and the white walkers, while also continuing to ask the ongoing, burning question as to who will ascend the iron throne, with the kingdoms continuing to compete against, betray and beat the living daylights out of one another.
With most GoT fans keen to see Jon Snow, aka The King of the North aka Kit Harington, bag the big, uncomfy iron bonanza, Peter Dinklage (who you'll know better as Tyrion Lannister) has posted an amazing montage of Jon Snow's best moments, and we're not talking about your one off Channel 4 news getting naughty at Glastonbury. No, we're talking about Jon Snow, the long-locked, sword-wielding maverick.
Yup, from humble beginnings as the bastard son of Ned Stark (various people's words, not mine) to a member of the Night's Watch (basically a glorified priest with a sword) to peacemaker between the wildlings and those south of the wall, Jon Snow has seen and done it all. He's even been stabbed in the heart (love-wise) and stabbed in the heart physically, with a load of big, sharp knives. As you'll see from the video, it doesn't end well for the stabbeurs.

Like England U-21 footballers, Game of Thrones divides fans in that everyone has their own favourite character, the main difference is that most people can name more than two Game of Thrones characters. While I'd love to have seen Tyrion take the throne, it seems his future lies in diplomacy, which makes him the coolest civil servant to have ever walked the earth. So I'll settle for Jon boy, because he really has earned it.
Watch the video and you'll see King Snow (getting ahead of myself but there you go) clearly has the tekkers to take the throne. There's even some nudity, albeit a naked dude resurrecting from the dead. Take what you can get, I say.
