Warning: Spoilers ahead for "Game of Thrones" season seven, including speculation of future events.
Winter arrived to San Diego Comic-Con when the "Game of Thrones" cast made an appearance for a panel Friday, and treated fans to a new teaser for season seven. The trailer showed scenes from the upcoming episodes and fans more or less lost their minds at one key scene.
The new clip shows King Jon Snow addressing the northern lords.
"We can't defeat the Night King's army on our own," he said. "Daenerys has dragon fire."
For many, this was a huge step forward in the "Game of Thrones" story. Jon has finally said Daenerys' name out loud for the first time on the show and he seems eager to travel south and make an alliance with the Mother of Dragons.
In addition to the excitement of seeing these two major players in the same place, people were swooning over the potential for a romantic connection between Jon and Daenerys — even though she's technically his aunt.

In 2016, photographer Peggy Sirota shared a photo of Kit Harington (Jon) and Emilia Clarke (Daenerys) kissing. The shot was just from a Rolling Stone photo shoot, but fans went nuts over the thought of their characters hooking up in the series.
However, as we mentioned, Jon and Daenerys are related. Last season, we learned that Lyanna Stark is Jon's mother. Then HBO released a graphic confirming a longtime fan theory — Rhaegar Targaryen (Daenerys' dead brother) is Jon's father. This means Daenerys is Jon's aunt.
Seeing as "Game of Thrones" generally takes no issue with the occasional incestuous relationship, perhaps this won't be a problem for the two potential love birds.
