Watch a 22-Minute Game of Thrones Featurette

Game of Thrones’ second season premieres April 1 — which still gives enough time to rewatch the first season should you so choose. It’s only ten episodes! Alternately, HBO’s newly released twenty-minute featurette does a solid job of recapping the first season, with the added bonus of getting to see the actors in their regular clothing rather than their GoT costumes. (A brunette Khaleesi! How strange.) “Fans who want blood and battle won’t be disappointed in season two,” Peter Dinklage says. Cue the sword-fighting sound effects. Clang clang clang, woosh woosh woosh.
