A new trailer for the HBO fantasy series “Game of Thrones” shows fans even more about what to expect for the drama’s upcoming fourth season.

(Warning: Spoilers for the show’s first three seasons follow! Proceed at your own risk…)

Sansa Stark, sister of the rebellious Robb Stark and now wife to court plotter Tyrion Lannister, is still inconsolable over the death of her brother and mother.

“Do you know what they did to my brother and my mother?” she asks Tyrion. “I lie awake all night thinking about how they died.”

Meanwhile, Queen Regent Cersei talks with the newly arrived member of the ruling house of Dorn, Oberyn Martell.

“What good is power if you can’t protect the ones you love?” she asks.

“We can avenge them,” Oberyn tells her. 

Meanwhile, it looks like aspiring queen Daenerys Targaryen is under attack from outside forces. “I will answer injustice with justice,” she declares.

And wannabe king Stannis Baratheon is getting discouraged, saying, “We’re running out of time. I will not become a page in someone else’s history book.”

And both Jon Snow, a member of the military group the Night’s Watch, and his romantic interest Ygritte, who is one of the wildlings that war with the Night’s Watch, seem troubled over their last encounter, when Jon fled from her and her group of wildlings.

“If that boy’s still walking, it’s because you let him go,” another wildling tells her.

Excited, “Thrones” fans? The new season premieres on HBO on April 6.

Dear Reader,

About a year ago, I happened upon this statement about the Monitor in the Harvard Business Review – under the charming heading of “do things that don’t interest you”:

“Many things that end up” being meaningful, writes social scientist Joseph Grenny, “have come from conference workshops, articles, or online videos that began as a chore and ended with an insight. My work in Kenya, for example, was heavily influenced by a Christian Science Monitor article I had forced myself to read 10 years earlier. Sometimes, we call things ‘boring’ simply because they lie outside the box we are currently in.”

If you were to come up with a punchline to a joke about the Monitor, that would probably be it. We’re seen as being global, fair, insightful, and perhaps a bit too earnest. We’re the bran muffin of journalism.

But you know what? We change lives. And I’m going to argue that we change lives precisely because we force open that too-small box that most human beings think they live in.

The Monitor is a peculiar little publication that’s hard for the world to figure out. We’re run by a church, but we’re not only for church members and we’re not about converting people. We’re known as being fair even as the world becomes as polarized as at any time since the newspaper’s founding in 1908.

We have a mission beyond circulation, we want to bridge divides. We’re about kicking down the door of thought everywhere and saying, “You are bigger and more capable than you realize. And we can prove it.”

If you’re looking for bran muffin journalism, you can subscribe to the Monitor for $15. You’ll get the Monitor Weekly magazine, the Monitor Daily email, and unlimited access to CSMonitor.com.
