Comprehensive breakdown of the Game of Thrones season 6 trailer 

Holy Mother of Dragons, it’s here. After weeks of looking at the lifeless faces of beloved (and not-so-beloved) characters, we finally have a

Below is a screen cap breakdown of the trailer along with our speculation, so beware of potential spoilers.

As “Wicked Game” performed by James Vincent McMurrow plays, the trailer opens at the Wall, where we see Jon exactly where we left him: bleeding in the snow. Davos assures us on voiceover, “He’s gone.” (Still trying to convince us, HBO? Alright.)

We then get a shot of a Martell ship sailing towards King’s Landing, most likely the one bearing Myrcella’s body and Jaime home.

Jaime comforts Cersei by telling her, “We’re the only ones who matter and everything they’ve taken from us we’re going to take back and more” (I’m assuming he’s not referring to Myrcella, here.)

Cersei scrutinizes whatever’s before her (based on a later clip, it’s probably Lancel) and closes her eyes.

Davos stands alone by a pile of wood and ash- perhaps the site of Shireen’s burning?

Ramsay and Roose share a father-son moment as the naturalized Bolton boy turns towards his father. To be fair, he’s lost his two human playthings – his bride and his Reek – as well as his girlfriend. He’s probably not feeling too hot.

We see a burning, flayed corpse strapped into the position of the Bolton sigil burning. Though there are no identifiable physical features to draw upon, the body might be Stannis’ as that does seem like a Boltonesque thing to do to one’s conquered enemy. Also, Melisandre’s following line begins as a voiceover on this image.

All of these Northern battle images look to be from the same huge battle, which was filmed in Saintfield, Northern Ireland. For more extensive spoilers, check out this previous post.

An emotional Melisandre tells Davos, “The great victory I saw in the flames … all of it was a lie.” Aw, Mel.

Jorah and Daario arrive on horseback to the site of Dany’s abduction and of course Jorah finds the ring that she dropped at the end of season 5.

Daenerys is walking (not riding – a good indication of how her Dothraki captors are treating her) to Vaes Dothrak.

“Every one of us is poor and powerless, yet we can overthrow an empire,” the High Sparrow says, as we already heard (albeit with a different delivery) in the House Lannister promo. It’s a good line, though. I understand why they’re capitalizing on it.

Book-readers will know what this gathering of Ironborn men is, on the coast in the Iron Islands. We received spoilers about the filming of this big scene back in September.

Sansa appears to have acquired shelter and a fur coat since her jump, though the tear rolling down her cheek indicates that she’s still less than cheerful. Perhaps she’s at the Wall learning of Jon Snow’s demise?

“You’re in the great game, now. And the great game is terrifying,” Tyrion says. I’m guessing he says this to Missandei and/or Grey Worm (though, for the record, the editing makes it look like he’s speaking to Sansa, which is sort of cool).

Here we have Drogon (unless Viserion or Rhaegal managed to escape) apparently 

Lancel tells Cersei, “Order your man to step aside or there will be violence.”

… to which Cersei answers, “I choose violence.” This leads us to a quick-cut montage of ass-kicking, slicing and battling.

Also, this is not going to work out well for Lancel and his creepy boyband.

Six men unsheathe their swords. Given how Eddard-like the man in the front looks, plus the setting that matches the terrain outside Castillo de Zafra, Spain, there’s no doubt this is a Tower of Joy flashback.

Alliser Thorne and Bowen Marsh break through a tunnel.

Based on the editing (which might be misleading) Tommen and Cersei approach one another (with her pet Kingsguard trailing Cersei).

Ships in a stormy sea. We can’t see the sigil on the sails. They may an Ironborn fleet or perhaps the ship that Gilly and Sam are on. Or perhaps something else altogether.

The Waif slaps Arya across the face. So we’re playing this game again? Also , can we get a light in the House of Black and White?

Petyr Baelish. Just … standing there. Unfazed. As he does.

Margaery huddles in her dungeon, more or less as we saw her last in season 5.

A rider runs down someone on foot. (Hmm probably not a free-moving ball of fire as I’d first thought.) It looks like a ball of fire attached to a chain. An unusual choice of weapon for attacking.

Archers (wearing Bolton-styled helmets, though the sigil on their flag isn’t clear) release their arrows.

There appears to be an explosion. Given the doors we can see and the color scheme, this looks like the room atop the pyramid Daenerys prefers to use in Meereen. With her away, Tyrion, Missandei and the others are likely using it now to rule the city.

We get a brief shot of Theon looking distressed as usual, as men with dogs (presumably sent by Ramsay) appear to have caught up with him.

We get our first look at a notably eyepatchless Euron Greyjoy (played by Pilou Asbæk) being baptized in the way of the Iron Islanders, which involves drowning. Behind him stands a white-haired Drowned priest that is most likely Aeron Greyjoy, his brother.

Apparently whatever Jaime said to Cersei has rekindled their passion.

Brienne kills a soldier (unambiguously and onscreen, I might add). Given the snowy forest backdrop and similar lighting to the shot of Theon, it’s reasonable to suspect that she’s taking out one of the Bolton men in pursuit of Sansa and Theon.

A shot of the Hall of Faces. In case we had forgotten what it looked like.

Melisandre begins to undress. Given the look on her face, it might be for a reason other than the usual. Though this is total conjecture, I can’t help being reminded of Nissa Nissa baring her breast for Azor Ahai.

Jon Snow, still dead. Definitely not coming back. *Ahem*

Arya leaps from a building in Braavos. Several spoilers out of Girona, Spain provided more details as to this scene. Head on over to an earlier post for spoilers!

Bolton soldiers prepare for battle. With so many shots of this battle, it’s looking to be a massive one for season six.

Oh, boy. Euron Greyjoy de-hoods atop a rope bridge. On a stormy night! *claps hands with jubilation*

A Targaryen-armored knight fights two men whose faces we don’t see. The one on the left wears Northern Stark leathers. Given the terrain and situation, this looks to be part of the Tower of Joy scene as well. There’s still a question as to why we’d see a knight in Targaryen armor and not white Kingsguard armor, as we expected.

Tormund Giantsbane turns around dramatically in the midst of battle, with the limb of the Bolton’s flayed-man sigil behind him. Most likely from the same big fight scene we’re looking forward to for episode nine in season six.

In the heat of battle, we see a black-haired man fighting who looks awfully familiar … hmm …

Margaery kneels before the High Sparrow, much the way Cersei did for her confession last season.

Filthy women stand in what looks vaguely like a crypt

Blind Arya provides more nightmare fuel.

Tyrell soldiers and Jaime Lannister on a white horse confront the Faith Militant on the steps of the Great Sept of Baelor. For more details and spoilers on this scene, visit this post.

Sansa runs through what is probably the same forest that Theon and Brienne were in. It’s reasonable to guess that she’s running from the same men who have Theon cornered and whom Brienne is slicing up.

Dothraki warriors charge (though the editing makes it look like they’re chasing Sansa…)

Wildling men, likewise, charge into battle

It all builds up to a shot of Bran (who’s standing so this is a vision), turning around to see …

Is the Night’s King seeing Bran, or is he seeing though him (more likely) to the other people in the vision, victims of the White Walkers as they move further south? We can see a White Walker standing just behind the Night’s King’s arm.

Finally, by the still-lifeless body of Jon Snow, Davos grabs Longclaw and says, “I’ve never been much of a fighter. Apologies for what you’re about to see.” He unsheathes it as two brothers of the Night’s Watch advance towards him. It certainly looks like he plans to steal Jon Snow’s body.

So, what do you think of the new trailer? Which characters were you most excited to see and which ones were you disappointed

It’s a stretch but what if the dark hooded figure in the horse with the ball of fire is Coldhands aka Benjen Stark?

The hooded person on the horse running down someone with a fireball is too big to be a Child of the forest. And i think thats a wight hes hitting and thats Meera on the right. Like in the Inside GoT season 6 video.

I commented on the last post so I’ll do the same here …

Perfect timing! Showed up just as the hockey game I’m watching went to intermission!

Um, Hodor has an H. And and O. Then a D, another O and and R. Congratulations: you failed to get a single letter correct!

About the last shot, those Night’s Watch brothers are the ones loyal to Jon Snow, and as Davos unsheathes Longclaw they do as well, readying their swords to fight Thorne and his mutineers after they breakdown the door. I have a feeling Edd is in the same room as them.

Thats not Mel’s hand before the fire though, it’s Dany’s. You can even see the dothraki in the background. She has the same ring from the S5 finally (the one she didn’t drop).

I think the one with Cersei crying is not her looking at Lancel but looking or waiting for Jaime to return at the dock, maybe she’s even looking at him rowing in with Myrcella’s body.

Azor Ahai shall rise again!! Great breakdown, thanks WotW

You could be wrong about the “Filthy women stand in what looks vaguely like a crypt” scene.

This. The hand is definitely Dany’s. You can even see some out of focus bearded Dothraki in the background.

Coldhands is not Benjen Stark, that’s been confirmed by GRRM.

The picture of Cersei crying is most likely her awaiting Jamie and Myrcella’s arrival and seeing her corpse covered with a golden shroud, just like in one of the pictures they released. Oh and that is Ghost guarding Jon’s body in the last pic btw

1. The flags in the shot of men drawing arrows with helmets “that resemble those of the Boltons” is a red backdrop with a chain in and X patter, representative of house Umbrr which we’ve seen a few times in season 1.

2. Allistor Thorne and the Night’s Watch are bot walking into a tunnel. Infact, you can tell that they are on an elevated platform with the courtyard of castle black right behind them. It seems as if they are breaking into one of the rooms, interestingly enough, the door that they break down is strikeingly similar to the one we see behing Davos in the last shot.

Yeah it is definitely not Mel’s as we can clearly see she has no rings on in one of the frames soon after that of the hand (likely Dany’s)

Doesn’t that look like the ring Dany in the meadow at the end of season 5? Someone grabbing a metal brazier full of fire better not be too sensitive to heat. I think Dany lights someone or something up on her own, trying to escape with help from Jorah + Daario.

I was just about to post this. Definitely Dany’s hand.

Great job focusing down on the dark haired rider in the battle with some serious flow going on…

but it can’t be… he’s DEAD… right HBO?

would be really funny if they unintentionally spoiled themselves by adding a shot of Tormund which accidentally has Jon Snow/Stark/Targ/AA/PTWP in the background

I think you’re right, the Umbers are supposed to be fighting alongside the Boltons, and we do see the Bolton banner flying just behind that one.

Excellent breakdown. It us a great trailer. It starts slowly and subdued, but crescendos around halfway through to a thrilling second half.

I was very disappointed with the teaser we got last month, but this just about makes up for it. In a way it was nice for it to come out of the blue and was a lovely surprise.

will they show Rickon Stark this season?

I think they decided to put the Targaryen symbol on the armor to emphasize just who this knight is fighting for. Correct me if I’m wrong, but they never did establish that the Kingsguard is supposed to wear wear white armor, they just wore white cloaks. Then again, if a king or queen wanted them to wear something different then they would have to abide by their wishes to the best of their ability.

I said it awhile ago but I’m sure that knight is Arthur Dayne. He doesn’t have any special sword here so maybe I’m wrong or maybe they just didn’t give him one. (Considering how much information from the books they can’t relate to the audience because of time, it is certainly possible).

The shot of the horses riding into battle. The white horse that is the focus looks like the same horse that possibly Jon(?) is riding in the later shot.

The screen shot of a Bolton shield wall: looks like the Wildlings are about to be on the receiving end of those spears; they’re on foot, some of their coats are in the patched-style the Wildlings wear, and one of them is wielding an ax. I get the feeling the Wildlings are going to be severely overmatched in that battle.

Damn, I’ve never seen Melisandre look so devastated and defeated.

That burning man on the Bolton cross is the stuff of nightmares. The Boltons are some seriously sick bastards.

my gifs here again simce this post fits them perfectly.

These kids in the sept right here, they have daggers and they are murdering someone. There’s a shot in the trailer with another angle where you can see the daggers.

That Bran+NK still… maybe it’s Bran seeing what’s going on (or was going on) at Hardhome? Maybe not, but worth a shot. Also, interesting that the Three-Eyed Raven isn’t with him.

About Brienne, Sansa and Theon: any chance Brienne returns to the Riverlands to tell Jaime that she found Sansa and has sent her somewhere safe, like he required? And, doesn’t blind Arya look just like a wight? *shivers*

Admin Edit: This list is fake. It’s a fake that has been going around for months. Stop spreading it. -Sue the Fury

For the last picture where Davos draws his sword, it seems like ghost is next to Jon… Have the mutineers killed him also, or is he just sleeping/guarding him.

Also let’s bring back Nymeria into the story. \o/

I don’t think that’s someone throwing fireballs. It looks more like someone swinging a torch in big circles, or a container with something burning in it at the end of a rope, like a priest swinging a censer.

I really think (or at least really want to believe) that the Arya picture with the white eyes is her warging… exploring/growing that ability would add a lot of range to her character arc

Wait, Melissandre confess to Davos that she didn’t tell the whole truth or that she had been lied to by the flames/religion?

George already said that Benjen was not Cold Hands. In the books, Cold Hands kills the mutineers at Caster’s Keep and leads Bran and company to the 3 Eyed Raven.

While that may be Dany’s hand, that is not the same ring.

George already said that Benjen was not Cold Hands.In the books, Cold Hands kills the mutineers at Caster’s Keep and leads Bran and company to the 3 Eyed Raven.

Really wish they added him to the show. Any reason why they didn’t?

A thought occurs: Yara is prone to messing with people, this is a woman who let her long-lost brother feel her up purely so she could mock him for unknowing incestuous action later.

So if the shot is of her kissing another woman, maybe she’s just messing with a crowd of ironborn warriors – you know, kissing the prostitute they’re passing around to get them excited and stuff. Scene might be taken out of context.

These have been out there since last summer. Fake.

It’s seems to me the question, it Davos is in a room full of enemies who could he be talking to when saying “I am not a very good fighter I apologize for what your about to see” maybe Ghost??

The leak from angry GOT fans has some inconsistency but mostly on point

As much as the fantastic shot of Bran and the Night’s King was chilling when I first watched it, I can only giggle at Bran’s expression now. Hee hee!

This has been proved as fake. In reality, Pod is alive and well in ep. 8 in Riverrun, for instance.

We book people often forget how important costume is to film for conveying instant visual cues to the audience. In a fight there are distinct uniforms so you instantly know who is fighting for whom.

From that point of view I’m saying there is know way the Targaryen Kingsguard in the ToJ flashback wear the same outfits the Baratheon/Lannister KG wear in the show. Yes careful viewers would know that the same organization that Jamie and Sir Grandfather served in under the Mad King is the one serving Tommen today and even 20 years ago they could have the same style armor. Doesn’t matter, the logic of costuming dictates that if you are showing a different faction in a different time period you don’t use the same look.

Heck, even stormtroopers serving the Old Republic, the Empire, and the First Order don’t have identical armor. Same reason, you have to show the time shift visually.

That leak is fake as hell and so are those episode titles. Stop reposting them.

Lol, “The Mummer’s Dragon” should tell you right away that this is a fake.

“We’re the only ones who matter and everything they’ve taken from us we’re going to take back and more” (I’m assuming he’s not referring to Myrcella, here.)

Will they bring back Myrcella, Robert-Strong style?

Davos stands alone by a pile of wood and ash- perhaps the site of Shireen’s burning?

The way his cloak blows from the bottom, I got the impression he could be at the top of the wall.

We do know that the Children of the Forest are returning in season 6, since Bran and the Three-Eyed Raven are back in play. And as we saw in season 4, outside the Three-Eyed Raven’s cave, the Children use balls of fire.

The CotF used magic balls of fire they threw, not fireballs that swing around on a chain. And, as others have said, the rider seems large.

Given her lack of rings, I lean toward Dany – a cleaned-up version, as others have said.

In the heat of battle, we see a black-haired man fighting who looks awfully familiar … hmm …

In possibly a different clash, we see Tormond (and no, that one charging horseman in the background is not the character you think it might be). –http://www.ew.com/article/2016/03/08/game-thrones-season-6-trailer-questions

That snapshot with Sansa looking sad, along with Tyrion’s voice in the background strongly reminded me of this quote from Storm: “Her hair was a rich autumn auburn, her eyes a deep Tully blue. Grief had given her a haunted, vulnerable look; if anything, it had only made her more beautiful.”

I GUARANTEE the Littlefinger & Sansa running scenes are together.

I GUARANTEE the Davos with Longclaw & the breaking down of the door scenes are together.

Aren’t those ships IB? The weather and lighting match up with Euron taking his hood off.

The hand is Daenerys’s – it’s her mother’s ring.

This isn’t in the novels, and never explained on-screen, but once Emilia Clarke explained in an interview is that an idea they came up with is that despite ALL of the costume changes Daenerys goes through, the one constant is that she always wears this one ring – because it belonged to her mother, Queen Rhaella. Even if they had to sell her mother’s crown, they hung onto one of her ring. And indeed, she has been wearing this ring since the series premiere at her wedding to Drogo.

I’ve never had a very clear closeup of the ring before, but she wears it on her index finger, not her ring finger. It isn’t the one she drops in the hope her followers will find it — in the next shot you can see she still has another ring on her index finger.

the fan breakdown in the comment section of the trailer post is actually more accurate, you just need to have enough patience to filter through the misunderstandings

Davos always is precise on his words. What could possibly be THAT weird to make him say ‘apologies for what you are about to see’? What if instead of preparing to fight against Alliser Thorne and co, Davos is doing something with that sword, and with Jon’s corpse, and maybe with Ghost, resulting in something completely out of this world? hurting Jon’s body to show a certain reaction, or a connection between him and Ghost, or with the sword?

Yes, that looks like the scene and the outfit she was wearing when Jaime and Myrcella return. We saw some pics of the filming with the Mountain in the background. She has tears in her eyes. I imagine she is looking at the boat with Myrcella’s covered body coming towards the shore.

I think that is Jaime on the ship’s deck…looking towards King’s Landing. We have also gotten a still of him looking handsome on deck.

It also looks like Roose just told Ramsey something he didn’t like to hear. The look on his face when he turns back towards his father… Yeah…something is up.

I hope that isn’t Davos next to Shireen’s funeral pyre. If he reaches down and picks up a burnt, wooden stag, I will lose it! Will he be traveling back that direction or will he stay at the wall? Hmmm.

They spoiled the Jon twist by showing Tormund and other wildlings fighting the Bolton army. No way would they be doing that for anyone but Jon or Tormund who’s following Jon’s lead.

Love the sexytime going on in it, but I have to wonder… where exactly is Yara in that shot? That clearly isn’t the Iron Islands. I’ll assume she leaves Pyke per the books, but she’s obviously not gonna be Stannis’s prisoner. Could she take Vic’s role from the books and head to Meereen, and could that other girl be the Dusky Woman or some equivalent character?

Edit: It looks like I missed Sue’s post, so I deleted mine.

Agreed. It’s not magical fire. It’s like a flaming ball and chain. It would be nice to start learning where some of the MIA are, especially since Benjen was invoked last season.

Pretty sure he is apologizing to the people in the room as they come under attack from Thorne and co.

In the screengrab of the man on the horse plus fireball, are there figures on the ground to the right? I can’t tell if its a pile of rocks or someone slumped in the snow …. if it’s the latter it could be Meera or Hodor or Bran? They’re on their last legs when someone comes in and saves them…

This could be Coldhands (or a version of Coldhands), belatedly introduced. Now whether that’s Benjen or not, who knows. GRMM’s draft note (“no”) seemed to nix that theory. It’s possible, however, that the show is combining Coldhands and Benjen into one anyway, since we know they like to condense characters. I can’t think who else it would be so far north since the figure is too large to be a child of the forest.

edit: Just saw people don’t think this is a fireball … just a fight then?

The rider with the fire on chain/rope is dressed in black. If that is meera on the right, then I really can’t think of anyone else that would fit the bill other than Benjen.

Also, if Davos steals Jon’s body to be resurected or whatever they are going to do with it…where would he take it? Nightfort?

Davos can’t be atop the Wall because plants don’t grow from the ice on 700 ft high up in the air. See the plant stalks on the left side of the picture? That is likely the pyre site where Shireen was burned.

Who is the person to the right of Davos? The hand is all I can make out and it looks feminine.

“Will you tell the jury how you would describe Euron Greyjoy’s reaction when he was informed of his brother’s death?”

“I would best describe it as ‘restrained jubiliation’…”

…I didn’t say she was having sex, just kissing. Wait, do you have more set reports about this scene which you can’t discuss publicly?

Am I the only one who doesn’t see a tear rolling down Sansa’s cheek?

And I will thank you for them, again (although I won’t repost the “Thank You” video I posted for you on the other thread).

“Wicked Game” performed by James Vincent McMurrow plays,

Please correct the singer’s name,it’s James Vincent McMorrow

The Ghost and Jon picture is similar to a cross with jon perpendicular to ghost. The visual symbolism seems sacrificial from a ‘christian’ context. Ghost I think is being sacrificed.

OMG I almost pissed myself at Shit is On and Shit is On Even More titles. Loved also the I Fucked Up and Bros on a Search too. Extremely accurate.

That is Meera because we see her in that Behind the Scenes video that was recently released in that exact position, by a tree, except it was filmed in daylight so that is a camera filter or post-editing to make it seem like nighttime. If that is Benjen coming to the rescue, then I guess he just found a horse somewhere, because last we saw in season 1, his horse returned to Castle Black.

The hands resting on Jon’s body & over his eyes are Sansa. The black fur matches the fur she is wearing in the picture where she seems sad. And I recognize her hands.

She’s made it to castle Black only to find Jon dead (cough).

Davos & men – & Ghost are guarding Jon’s body from Thorne etc who are about to break through the door. Ghost very much alive and standing ready to launch – which I cannot wait for!

I agree it looks like Daeny’s hand near the fire – about to prove she is heat tolerant? Wondering where her bouncing baby boy is?

Thomas Sandstone: I think they decided to put the Targaryen symbol on the armor to emphasize just who this knight is fighting for. Correct me if I’m wrong, but they never did establish that the Kingsguard is supposed to wear wear white armor, they just wore white cloaks.

Exactly, I don’t recall the show ever saying the Kingsguard wear white armor. White cloaks are different, and this Knight would have taken off his cloak while fighting. Visually, it’s nice to have the Targaryen sigil on the armor to signify a different time in history when Targs were in charge.

Robb Snow: where exactly is Yara in that shot? That clearly isn’t the Iron Islands.

Wasn’t there some rumor that Yara and Theon end up somewhere in Essos at the end of Season 6? Or am I misremembering? I assumed Yara was in some brothel, somewhere in Essos. A Volantis brothel again, like season 5?

If that is Meera, I’m worried about her, what is she doing alone outside?

No, I disagree. When Davos draws Longclaw he is looking past Ghost at the door being beaten down. I think the NW men with him are Jon loyalists getting ready to defend his body.

It’s seems to me the question, it Davos is in a room full of enemies who could he be talking to when saying “I am not a very good fighter I apologize for what your about to see”maybe Ghost??

Those are the Nights watch brothers who are loyal to Jon, he is saying it to them before Thorne and his fellow mutineers break down the door

Yea, I think the Umbers are taking the place of the Manderly’s for the show.

The trailer scene could be the same one, shot day for night. The location sure looks right. I don’t know about horses, I suppose you could find a horse after a few years wandering? If only it was an elk.

Benjen (merged with Coldhands or not) may be wishful thinking but I just can’t think who else it could be riding to the rescue in the forest like that.

I love the idea the Benjen trick was used last season because we’ll be seeing him this season. I wouldn’t mind it being Coldhands, either.

Although that sure doesn’t look like a ginourmous elk he’s riding. 😉

Well, if the Nights Watch in the room with Davos were anti-Jon, they probably wouldn’t even let Davos even grab that sword.

Second…he draws it and doesn’t go into immediate defense and neither do any of the other NW when the start to draw their swords. So they are probably doing a one for all all for one thing.

Jon is blue as blue can be…lol…like, they are making a point to say, “see, he’s dead…we told you he’s dead”. Hilarious.

I’m calling it now. The last scene of the first episode will be the resurrection of Jon Snow in a nod to the last scene of the first episode in season one. One Stark falls and one

I still have the currency, just so you know. I’ll be peddling it to D&D mid-season.

My guess is that “filthy” woman is Lyanna Stark in a Flashblack scene. That is how I imagined her at least, but I cannot make out the other person opposite her to confirm. Any thoughts?

Where is Sansa? She looks too well dressed and well lit for it to be Castle Black.

Davos can’t be atop the Wall because plants don’t grow from the ice on 700 ft high up in the air. See the plant stalks on the left side of the picture? That is likely the pyre site where Shireen was burned.

But if blue roses do… No, I agree. This must be a different spot, possibly Shireen’s spot. It still seems as if he is standing on the edge of a great precipice.

I wonder why Alisser and the mutineers care about Jon’s dead body after they left his corpse to rot in the snow? Or are they after Ghost?

The Sword(s) Of The Morning looks great, but book fans should get used to the idea that there is no Dawn, and if there is, it won’t be pale as milk.

Euron on the rope bridge…GAH!!! I don’t care about the lack of eyepatch, Pilou looks menacing!

They spoiled the Jon twist by showing Tormund and other wildlings fighting the Bolton army. No way would they be doing that for anyone but Jon or Tormund who’s following Jon’s lead.

I think the Boltons are attacking the wildlings because they’re in Bolton territory and want them dead. Then Jon shows up and saves them! I hope Tormund and Wun Wun don’t die though. This is what I’m thinking.

When I did a frame by frame of Arya there it indeed looks like here eyes are normal then she looks up and they are white … much like Bran when he wargs. I have my fingers crossed here

after all she does start getting really good at warging while she is blind and is able to best the Kindly Man/Jaqen by warging into a cat

Am I the only one who doesn’t see a tear rolling down Sansa’s cheek?

“Melisandre begins to undress. Given the look on her face, it might be for a reason other than the usual. Though this is total conjecture, I can’t help being reminded of Nissa Nissa baring her breast for Azor Ahai.”

All you people got me worried about Ghost now in that last frame of the trailer.

It looks like Jon should be laying on a table, like the same kind of table in the background but he looks like his body is just floating there.

Ghost’s lack of reaction/movement with everyone drawing their swords is a bit odd and unnatural so human eyes pick it up and react by thinking Ghost is dead, the only logical explanation for zero reaction.

It is probably just bad CGI in regards to CGI interface with environment.

When everyone draws their swords Ghost should lift his head and draw his teeth or something.

I think I am just being hyper critical because my expectations are so high that I unfairly pick apart everything.

After all, the frame is only like 1.5 seconds.

Perhaps right after that Ghost reacts like a living being and not a dead stage prop.

Could it be Hodor/Bran riding down the person in the woods (to protect Meera)?

Dany being shown a vision in the flames? By Kinvara?

The hands resting on Jon’s body & over his eyes are Sansa. The black fur matches the fur she is wearing in the picture where she seems sad. And I recognize her hands.

She’s made it to castle Black only to find Jon dead (cough).

Zoom in and look across the top. The fur shines like leather, black leather, like men of the Night’s Watch: http://watchersonthewall.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/GoT41.png

I do remember reading about that now that you mention it. The Greyjoys will have an interesting storyline this season, it seems.

Arthur: Ghost’s lack of reaction/movement when everyone drawing their swords is a bit odd and unnatural so human eyes pick it up and react by thinking Ghost is dead.

That isn’t unnatural at all. Predatory animals are amazingly good at keeping completely still in situations of danger or fighting. I would not be surprised if the final edit has Ghost growling the way that a threatened canine would growl: but those often are among the last things added.

Connor: Really wish they added him to the show. Any reason why they didn’t?

Simple: the plotting was perfectly smooth without him.

Lord Snow: I really think (or at least really want to believe) that the Arya picture with the white eyes is her warging… exploring/growing that ability would add a lot of range to her character arc

When they have shown people warging, they have had white eyes, not milky blue, and they also have had the actors roll their eyes to the top of their eye sockets. This looks like what they showed last year when Arya was blind.

That written, they’ve only done the white-out, roll-up when a warg is consciously jumping to an animal: I think that Bran’s eyes were still normal when he awoke from wolf-dreams. So, maybe Arya will have waking wolf-dreams due to her blindness.

Hodor is neither horseman nor badass. He might could ride a horse. A big horse. A slow walk. But he wouldn’t be able to ride like that.

Firannion: I don’t think that’s someone throwing fireballs

I would rather it be fireballs! So far, they have been good about avoiding the ridiculous fantasy cliche of having undead be more flammable than gasoline. It is particularly laughable for the wights: it’s hard enough to burn a corpse at room temperature after you drain the blood; you would need a flamethrower to ignite a frozen corpse!

(And, yes, this is something that the viewers know: everyone who ever has spent any time outdoors knows how hard it is to get cold wet wood burning.)

Hmmm. OK, anybody want to positively id the hands as Daenyrs? 😀

Seriously, I agree: it’s almost certainly a NW member; I’d bet on a loyalist like Edd. (Geez, Edd is Jon’s only friend left at the Wall, isn’t he?)

The umbers are actually reported to be fighting AGAINST the bolting, not with them.

Thank you! Yes! I thought the same thing when I was reading the commentary-that’s not Mel, it’s Dany. Mel looks into fire, Dany touches it.

True story. Unless they changed it for the show, Coldhands is 100% NOT Benjen

I thought they were Mel’s hands…and then I thought they were a man’s hands…and then I thought they were Mel’s hands again…. I’ve settled on Mel because the fabric on the sleeves resembles the fabric on her outfit as she is undressing and I think the lighter color above her arms is her always bare chest.

Am I over-thinking this and every other little detail in every other picture? Yes! Yes, I am!

I do still wonder about that round mark on the back of the left hand.

That explosion near Dany’s Meereen HQ…R&V are on the loose! Barbeque Harpy on the menu tonight!

Trailer has over a million views already in just 9 hours!

I agree. If they are simply using the ToJ flashback to sequence to establish the parentage of a certain someone, they would not need to include Dawn or the return of Dawn to the family.

Wow, this is very well done! Here are a few of my thoughts.

It makes a lot of sense that Davos is at Shireen’s pyre. And it would be a lovely nod to their sweet relationship.

I would much rather this than necrophilia, lol. But seriously, it makes a lot of sense! And with Davos having had Long Claw I’m betting it will become the real lightbringer. Hmm, so this could be the end of Mel?

In respect to Davos’ apology and readying Long Claw, I feel its simply him stating a “I’m a lover nit a fighter” though in his case it would be smuggler instead of lover, and he’s simply saying sorry for the not-pretty style of fighting he’s about to to. As in having no finesse, even though he’s essentially a Knight.

The figure on a horse doesn’t even have to be Coldhands. I would love for a “The Return of Benjen Stark” theme and like someone else pointed out, D&D have melded two characters into one before so perhaps this may be the case with Benjen and the Coldhands character. Who knows.

It does seem to me that Theon helps Sansa escape the Bolton boys and “girls” by staying behind as she flees into the woods where somehow, someway she comes upon Littlefinger.

And I’m pretty sure the flying dragon is Viserion because of the light colouring of its body. It also didn’t seem as big as Drogon and it isn’t supposed to be as big as Rhaegal either.

Those are some of the thoughts I had about some scenes but as my boy Preston Jacobs says “I’m probably wrong about half of them.”

When I first watched the trailer, I also thought Tyrion was talking to Sansa and I did a fist pump.

Also, I really don’t think that one shot is Jon. The hair doesn’t look right. We know that

Jon is wearing a man-bun on the battlefield, so his hair wouldn’t be flying all over the place like that, haha.

scififantasygirl: “Melisandre begins to undress. Given the look on her face, it might be for a reason other than the usual. Though this is total conjecture, I can’t help being reminded of Nissa Nissa baring her breast for Azor Ahai.”

There might also be a literal and figurative component: literal and figurative uncloaking of Melisandre.

(I mean, I don’t know about you, but I’ve never pulled off a miracle while wearing clothes…. 😉 )

That would make sense. Perhaps Davos is even speaking to Sansa. I’m not sure who else he’d be apologizing to for what they’re about to see. It would seem strange to say that to people you’re about to attack, if not convoluted.

Wimsey: Seriously, I agree: it’s almost certainly a NW member; I’d bet on a loyalist like Edd. (Geez, Edd is Jon’s only friend left at the Wall, isn’t he?)

Yeah, the only surviving Night’s Watch members left at Castle Black who have names and aren’t extras or one-scene characters are Alliser Thorne, Olly, Othell Yarwyck, Bowen Marsh, and Dolorous Edd. Out of that crew, Edd is the only one who didn’t take part in the mutiny.

If Davos is holed up in a room with Jon’s body and a few loyal members of the Night’s Watch, it makes sense that Edd would be there to serve as their voice, and that he would be the one putting his hand over Jon’s eyes, saying goodbye to his friend. Maybe he helps provide a distraction that enables Davos to smuggle Jon’s body out of Castle Black.

Darjan: If that is Benjen coming to the rescue, then I guess he just found a horse somewhere, because last we saw in season 1, his horse returned to Castle Black.

How long do horses last, anyway? It could well be dead of old-age by now, as it’s been close to 4 years on the show since then!

Hey, maybe it’s Thoros having ridden north of the Wall because…. um… er… that reason.

But regarding Coldhands, I doubt that they would add him now. It is quite possible that his contribution to the plot is done, and anything he might contribute could be done by someone else.

not that I am disagreeing to the young Ned Stark/Tower of Joy theory, but that is a lefty and based on Ned/Jaime dual (S01e05), Ned favours his right hand…

Just like nobody ever expects the Spanish Inquisition… this trailer came out of nowhere! Long time lurker, long time reader, listener of GOO here…

I’ve read (and it kinda looks evident to me) that the Nights King looks different from the previous season and I concur wholeheartedly.

However, this show and the books being what they are… after giving it further thought and adding further context to it from the many discussions read around the fandom, and the official GRRM canon that’s out there.

(I won’t mention the approximately 6 thousand people I called today yelling like a little girl to have them to STOP WHAT THEY WERE DOING IMMEDIATELY TO WATCH THIS TRAILER.)

I propose that this particular vision that Bran is in is not of events of the present, (because HBO gave us that in the form of the trailer today…/RIMSHOT.. See what I did there.. two shows nightly folks, I’m here all week)

I think Bran and Bloodraven are instead seeing the events of the first long night and this is the Nights King from then?

Hadn’t both GRRM (and D&B) mentioned that the Nights King we saw in Hardhome wasn’t the same one from the original long night?

Although, if you compare the Nights King that we saw change Craster’s baby into a White Walker at that altar in season 4 (I wanna say episode 2?) he looks nothing like the one we saw in Hardhome or this one.

I’m still a bit confused about the Nights King to begin with… There was the 13th Lord commander who had a relationship with what seems to be a night walker queen… was this the same Night’s king who was the one who fought the children of the forest the first long night? Or was he just running things at the wall, a little north and south of it doing his white walkery thing for some years not bothering anyone.

I’d assume since the King of the North and the King Beyond the wall banded together to get rid of him, he was trouble with a capital T.

That would make 3 different Night Kings?

@GOO Peeps, maybe you’ve had some discussion regarding this?

Jared: Maybe he helps provide a distraction that enables Davos to smuggle Jon’s body out of Castle Black.

Well, remember that Melisandre is there herself, and there is no reason why she cannot revive Jon there: as we saw with Thoros and Beric, it is not involved. However, at that point they probably will have to flee Castle Black: I kind of doubt that Jon’s going to win many popularity contests there any time soon. Hopefully not too many of the Wildlings are about to get slaughtered: that would seem just damn depressing after all they’ve been through.

The figure on the horse is a strong fighter and rider who seems experienced in killing wights with fire. Not likely to be Hodor or Bran.

Agree with others that Davos is apologising for being a scrappy sword fighter just as he and the NWs who’re loyal to Jon prepare to fight Alliser and co. I assume they want to get in to burn Jon’s body, although it’s possible they got wind of a resurrection plan and are trying to prevent it.

The Old Brown Wookiee: Although, if you compare the Nights King that we saw change Craster’s baby into a White Walker at that altar in season 4 (I wanna say episode 2?) he looks nothing like the one we saw in Hardhome or this one.

Really? I noticed no difference! Richard Brake played the Night’s King the two prior times, and that looks like him there, too.

msd: although it’s possible they got wind of a resurrection plan and are trying to prevent it.

How would there be a plan of which to get wind? The only person who knows that Jon can be revived is Melisandre, and there is no reason why she would tell anyone else. (There is no indication on the show that this ability is well-known outside of the Red Church or that anybody else can do such a thing.) Still, the Nationalists might be trying to prevent the Loyalists from absconding with Jon’s body, which would be the same for all intents and purposes.

Given that Mel could probably blast her way past a few swordsman, I wonder if she’ll just turn up and do things on her own. Still, we have to ask: why is Davos there? What is Jon to him? But would he do this for Mel? He’s not a fan, and their mutual friend is now dead.

It doesn’t need to be that they are explicitly trying to stop a resurrection. They do know to burn the dead, and anyone trying to prevent that would immediately be suspicious.

True: and as I noted, for all intents and purposes, it would be the same thing.

What I wonder about more is: what is happening near Castle Black? How are the Nationalists handling the Wildlings?

Just like nobody ever expects the Spanish Inquisition…this trailer came out of nowhere!

@GOO Peeps, maybe you’ve had some discussion regarding this?

It’s the present NK. They just alter his look each season slightly since his screen time continues to grow as does the budget.

True but if you look in the other shot with the Kingsguard/Arthur Dayne, the person that is probably Ned is holding a shield in the left hand and I’m guessing a sword in the right.

I doubt it’s him, otherwise he would be riding a great elk, unless they decided to just go with a horse. But I’m hoping it’s Benjen. Gotta be.

In the last picture, that is Ghost near Jon’s head right? I hope Ghost isn’t dead as well! But then why does he seem to be lying down?

Wimsey: Really?I noticed no difference!Richard Brake played the Night’s King the two prior times, and that looks like him there, too.

His nose looks bigger. Idk, must be the way it was shot or something. I’m hoping it’s Richard Brake still.

Repeating a thought from the other thread, I think Bran and the Night’s King are bumping into each other in the weirnet. Or maybe Bran tries some spying but the Night’s King can “see” him because he knows how to use it, too. Either way, I think the look on the Night’s King’s face is saying, “Oh shit, they’ve got a greenseer!?”

It would be really cool if Bran parallels Jon with the psychic version of the Hardhome staredown, only this time the good guy gets the “How you like me now?” moment.

Also, who cares if the Night’s King looks a bit different? Maybe his horns grow and he’s got a huge closet and the first time we saw him he had just gotten a chemical peel. When you look at how much the human [and dragon, and wolf] characters have changed over the seasons, it would just be weird to trot out the

Best comment. I think there might be two Night King’s, one being the ex-Lord Commander, and the current Night King, who may or may not have been the Night King during the Long Night. Remember the Long Night took place before the ex-Lord Commander defected and became the Night King.

Here’s my theory. The Night King is a title passed down through a royal bloodline, similar to how the major Houses of Westeros pass down their titles, particularly the Targaryens. This goes more into the Ice VS Fire. The royal family of Ice VS the royal family of Fire.

Down the line the title passed to the maid (who is most likely an Other), she had a child with the current Lord Commander of the Night’s Watch to continue the line. Either due to prophesy or male preference in titles.

It would be spooky if a prophesy stated an Other must mate with one of the First Men, possibly as part of some deal/treaty of Versailles at the end of the Long Night. That their line would lead to the White Walker Prince that was promised to fight Azor Ahai, since that the Great Other is the opposing God to the Red God.

“Got wind” as in Mel outright says she can bring him back, which provokes a confrontation. Or they just want to get in and burn his body.

Davos had a conversation with Jon last season where he said Stannis “saw something” special in him. Stannis’ view of Jon would be enough for Davos, I think, with or without Mel saying something else. His loyalty doesn’t seem weird to me.

Yeah, I’m pretty sure Davos is with friendly people, Jon’s supporters, in that scene, or else Ghost would destroy him.

EDIT: Also, they did a good job of picking an actor that looks a lot like Theon as Euron Greyjoy.

The Game of thrones trailer on YouTube, from their official page is at 3,753,068 views and is trending on youtube

Wimsey: There might also be a literal and figurative component: literal and figurative uncloaking of Melisandre.

(I mean, I don’t know about you, but I’ve never pulled off a miracle while wearing clothes…. )

HBO would never allow any miracle to be peformed fully clothed, lol. But that would be visually captivating if Jon’s sword plunged into her naked chest becoming Lightbringer. A great throwback to the original AA

I keep staring at the Night’s King wondering what it is that looks so different. It finally hit me that he’s showing teeth! He doesn’t look as menacing with his mouth open & slight buck teeth.

About the Alliser and company breaking down the door to get to Jon’s corpse: what I’m curious about is why did they leave his corpse out in the snow to begin with? If they were so keen on burning him upon death, why leave him out there long enough for Davos to get his hands on him. Did Alliser & Co go get a bite to eat before returning for Jon’s body? Did they not think someone might stumble upon his body while they left it unattended. These mutineers aren’t very smart.

It doesn’t need to be that they are explicitly trying to stop a resurrection. They do know to burn the dead, and anyone trying to prevent that would immediately be suspicious.

I don’t think Ghost is lying down. Jon is on a table. You can see it in a previous image where someone is closing Jon’s eyes. His head is right at the edge of the table. In the last image of the trailer, Ghost is standing at the edge of that table/next to Jon’s head. If Ghost were lying down we wouldn’t be able to see so much of his body. He’s standing, IMO, and he’s just so damn tall now that he’s the same height as that table. And if he’s standing then he can’t be dead.

They’re probably eager to burn Jon so he doesn’t come back as a wight. In fact after what I’ve seen, I think that’s gonna be the angle of the resurrection scene: there will be a sense of urgency to burn his remains so he doesn’t return as a wight, and an initial sense of fear and apprehension when he finally does get up… before revealing that he’s completely fine.

I agree. Maybe he gets sacrificed so that Jon can live?

OMG I just can’t wait to see what they will do. I’ve been done the books since Dance with Dragons came out, so I’m thinking anything is possible!

Best comment. I think there might be two Night King’s, one being the ex-Lord Commander, and the current Night King, who may or may not have been the Night King during the Long Night. Remember the Long Night took place before the ex-Lord Commander defected and became the Night King.

Greeeeeaaat… That’s something I hadn’t thought about at all!!! Phenomenal theory there!! Think that made my day more so than the trailer!!

Look at how little we know about the Others, this would be an amazing reveal and a nice parallel to the recurring theme of different forms of Ice and Fire. (Lyanna and Rhaegar’s Union/relationship/romp being another I can come up with offhand.)

(Maybe the thing with that Jon Snow guy that we no nothing about)

In the entire time I’ve been reading these books and all the material I’ve come across I can’t say that I ever thought of a royal lineage to the Other bloodline. Very exciting if something like that gets revealed. Crasters children could play some part in this as well. Perhaps his bloodline, which must contain some of the First Men’s, is part of that treaty and the Other’s hierarchy.

Of course there has to be someone on the Others side to be the one to give the warrior of fire a run for their money. Like you said It is a song of

. The important underlying thing of this entire story is the bigger conflict brewing and not the war of the kings that’s basically been filler.

The slow build up of the magic elements peppered throughout the TV series and the books… It’s the first game in a double header. The main game is about to begin with the Others and the Red God.

The reality of this world that people are oblivious to is about to turn all of the petty squandering going on everywhere on Planetos on its ass.

I don’t think it’ll happen this season, but in the next two I’d love to see all the proverbial sh*t hit the fan.

My mind is now blown again for the 30th time today. Great reply House Applebee!!

In retrospect I should’ve called you first before I did the 6000! Although, in your defense, the scream would’ve probably been my loudest one of the day. I may or may not have been coherent.

Doesn’t look too urgent at the beginning of the trailer. He’s bleeding out with not a soul in sight.

First mark below her right eye is a skin blemish, second one might be a tear but the picture isn’t sharp enough to tell for sure.

Trailer just gained 2 million more views in the past 2 hours!

Quick question does any1 know how I can download the trailer to my iPhone it’s iOS 9

Not Sansa, that person is wearing leather, also I went over Sansa scene in normal mode in you tube, and it’s not a tear it’s a skin blemish (2) under her right eye folks.

Went over the Sansa fur scene in normal speed and the quality is better then the stills, not a tear, she has 2 skin blemishes below her right eye.

Thanks ladies for the great breakdown! Finally managed to see Ghost near Jon.

However I am profoundly suprised how noone has not been complaing yet on SIX Stark soldiers at TOJ ( there are 7 of them in the books goddamit!) – #NOONEUNDERSTAAAAAAAANDS

Haha no prob man. Keen as f**k. Yeah, probably an endgame thing. Season 7 or 8 / Dream of Spring.

I’ve been through all the above comments and no one mentions the burning man. Comments near the image mention Stannis. Come on. Forgotten already? Brienne took his head off with Oathkeeper.

Presuming the corpse was found, would either Bolton go to all the trouble of sewing Stannis’ head back on? Pause for a moment, and go look at the image. Do you see flames and how they are? Even if the head is sewn back, considering the intensity of fire, wouldn’t the head separate away before this stage?

So, who is it? How about LF & Sansa? (It’d be fakes, right.) What if it’s Roose? Now that would be something Ramsey would do! Who would be about the same build as Sansa? There’s a use for a dead girl dressed in black, would you not say?

Not convinced that guy is the Night’s King at all. Probably just one of his subordinates, from the 13.

They’re not going to burn Sansa. Its probably Tormund, as it fits with that clip of his frightened face surrounded by Bolton men.

Not sure the timeline would work for Sansa to get there. Though I guess with Davos going to see Shireen’s corpse, he could run into her and Theon. But they would have to come up with a good reason why the NW lets Jon’s body lie about so long.

If that is Meera, I’m worried about her, what is she doing alone outside?

Don’t worry too much about Meera. Just before the shot of Brienne killing Boltons (at 1:10) we see a second person slitting someone’s throat from behind with a knife. And in the stills we can clearly see their brown curly hair. Smaller, shorter than Brienne, different armour. And sneaking up from behind and slitting someone’s throat with a knife is a Meera favourite move. Just ask Osha. So I’m guessing Meera is taking care of things.

Well there’s clearly a “grace period” of sorts since they didn’t burn all of their dead immediately after the battle at the Wall in Season 4. But I’d think after a short while they’re gonna want to take care of business before ol’ blue eyes gets up.

Also, if Thorne and co. are trying to cover their tracks at all, it’d be awfully suspicious if they just dragged Jon’s body off to burn immediately after death. They’re gonna wanna try to make it look as “natural” as possible with all the ceremony due a dead member of the Watch in order to sell the idea that someone else killed him (probably some Wildling or maybe even Olly).

Nor can they quickly dispose of the corpse and clean up the blood and just say Jon deserted the Watch. No, there’s gonna have to be a bit of theater involved for this.

To me the most interesting part of the whole trailer (beside the way Bran is standing next to the Night’s King of course) is Littlefinger standing in forest covered in snow. Like, where the hell he is? Last time we saw him in KL. So unless winter has come to KL, he’s where? The North to meet again with Sansa? The Vale to get Sweetrobin or to hide there? Or is LF the Azor Ahai and he’s beyond the Wall to fight the Others? 😉

Wow. Why did I never think of Tommen as being the Valonquar? But it does look like it’s Tommen vs Cersei in that trailer.

I hope …..The show keeps nonsense coincidences to a minimum ….absolute minimum. ..like …sansa running in the forest and suddenly littlefinger appears out of no where ……..

and jorah finding danys ring is a major case of this …i mean what are the odds….of finding a ring in such a large grassland. …

my other observations/ speculations are positive. …. like tyrion is seriously troubled by sons of harpy….They are blowing up stuff….and tyrion needs to release the dragons? ?? ( maybe )))

and is arya gonna run away from house of black and white ….coz jaqen is seriously ..punishing her ,…and is she forced to beg in the streets? ?

and Jon snow will be leading the battle against the Boltons ….With help of umbers. ..

plus a lot more questions …….it was an awesome trailer. ..

The filthy women are probably hitting Margery with sandals or something after Margery’s confession.

Is Tyroin on his way down to the dungeons to visit the other 2 dragons? It could prove that he is one of the 3 with Danny if they do not crispy fry and eat him!

So a lot of people were predicting Jon being unburnt after a funeral pyre and rising up as AA, but the trailer certainly seems to not point that way at all.

Also, very excited to see what appears to be Tyrion releasing the dragons lol.

And could Tyrion’s line about being in the great game be to Dany? Perhaps after they’re reunited and she decides to head to Westeros? Her heading to Westeros would certainly indicate her finally entering the game of thrones.

The part on the armor could be very true. This could also be part of Rhaegars personal guard, as he was not a king and thus not controlling the kingsguard.

I wanted too share a theory I got on why Allister tries too get Jon’s body.

He isn’t, that’s Sansa he tries to gets too. She arrives there and it’s too her Davos say’s ”he’s gone”.

Ramsey then finds out she is at CB and sends a revan demending her back, and he threatens too attack the wall if he doesn’t get her.

Allister and the other traitors, out of fear of being attacked by the Boltons try to get her, so they can send her back too Ramsey.

So what do you think? I could be totally wrong, and honestly expect to be, but this idea just came too me earlier.

Agree. Dawn would simply look silly on TV. It exists in the books simply for world building, and we’ll probally never even see it in the books at all.

Alltough we know he gets one sword from someone dead, either another KG or one of the Northeners, so he could have Dawn but it’s smeared in blood and we can’t see it.

Anyway this is irrellevent too me. I’m more then fine either way.

Perfectly said. The TV only said that KG have white capes not white armor.

So changing the armor too a more ”Targaryan style” too show that the events take place in a different time. It’s basic design.

Also looks like I was right, that Euron and Balon have a scene togheter.

Again it’s basic adaptation, it would have been a big mistake too not have at least one scene with these 2, too show their relationship and get a bit more info on Euron.

I did not think it will be the rope-bridge scene, but now that I think about it, it makes perfect sense.

Guys, GOT has the most retarded writing in history of television. I mean how the fuck did jorah and darrio find the ring in the grass? You do realize that is impossible. I mean it is like someone that wins 10 times in row 6/49 lotto. WTF is wrong with these stupid writers?

I can look out the window right now and see 3 metal objects flickiring in the grass, and the grass is preaty big and wasn’t trampled by tens of thousand of Dothraki, in a circle pattern.

And it’s quite cloudy it would be even easier if it was a sunny summer day.

Shoo back too Westeros.org little troll, shoo.

Damn the trailer has 18mil views on facebook!! The hype is real!

I know that it’s not a well-regarded site here, and I won’t link to it, but the many “Heresy” threads at a certain other site have featured intensive, if not exhaustive, discussions of the nature of the White Walkers/Others, their origin, their relationship to the Children of the Forest and to the Starks, their motivations (or the motivations of those who may have created them), and the identity of the Night’s Queen and Night’s King. You can find those threads by Googling “Heresy 182” and working back from there. They are focused on the books, but do refer to the show from time to time.

Glad I’m not the only one who thought there was something off with the Night’s King. Doesn’t look like Richard Brake from previous seasons.

lol…. just lol… you have no idea how life works. Like I said this was the equivalent of me winning 10 times in row 6/49. I won’t discuss further because this is an obvious fact and if you don’t understand how retarded this is, then it’s pointless to have any further discussion. This is by far the most retarded thing in history of all television and movie that i now of. There weren’t anything more stupid than this on a movie or a tv show that I ever seen. And I think I have watched over 300 tv shows and 2000 movies in my 40 years of living.

What about putting Longclaw through Melissandre’s bare chest?

Hundreds or even thousands of horses traveling anywhere are going to leave very clear trails. They could’ve easily followed the tracks. Add to that that they probably created a very clear circle around Dany when they were riding around her. One ring in the grass, in the middle of a dirt or mud track is not that hard to see.

So if the shot is of her kissing another woman, maybe she’s just messing with a crowd of ironborn warriors – you know, kissing the prostitute they’re passing around to get them excited and stuff. Scene might be taken out of context.

Shh little troll, shh. Just leave us retards here alone and go back too Westeros.org, that’s where the enlighten folk live.

Also Aragorn would like too call out on your bullshit.

This will make the purists rage…it will be so good!

………. No. He was apologizing ahead of time for being a shite fighter, which could bevtrye it could just be self deprecating Davos.

he’s got the sword of the moning, its pure white. Arthr Dayne confirmed.

They won’t see the ring outright, but if it’s a sunny day, it’s very easy too see it, it shines.

Like I said, I can see about 2-3 metal objects in the field outside my window. And the grass is preaty big and it’s quite cloudy.

You don’t need the tracks too find it, you just need to get a glimpse of it shining in the sun.

Kargaryen: Thats not Mel’s hand before the fire though, it’s Dany’s. You can even see the dothraki in the background. She has the same ring from the S5 finally (the one she didn’t drop).

That’s what I thought, as well. And is she stroking that metalwork? It would have to be scorching hot from a long-burning fire, it must be Dany, after she is rescued it seems.

I love that Euron looks more like S1 Theon than S5 Theon does.

Also, my favorite moment was seeing the Night’s King standing behind Bran. So quick yet so awesome!

The trailer footage of the Wildlings fighting the Boltons and the flayed man on the Bolton cross are a dead giveaway of Jon’s involvement in the battle. Aside from the photographic evidence of Jon in Stark gear on the battlefield set with the Bolton cross visible nearby and the director of episde 9 next to him as well as set leaks that reported about Jon going into the battle with the Wildlings, we can reach that logical conclusion considering facts from the show. They have put emphasis on the Wildlings’ aversion to the possibility of being led by any southern lord or engaging in any southern affairs. They repeatedly refused Stannis’ offers. So the only explanation of their involvement in the Winterfell battle is that they are rallied under Jon, who basically saved their lives, or they’re led by Tormund who also wouldn’t be fighting unless he’s teamed up with Jon.

I hope …..The show keeps nonsense coincidences to a minimum ….absolute minimum. ..like …sansa running in the forest and suddenly littlefinger appears out of no where ……..

and jorah finding danys ring is a major case of this …i mean what are the odds….of finding a ring in such a large grassland. …

“Nonsincidences” 😛 Yeah, I generally agree. But for Jorah finding the ring: It’s not impossible. Jorah knows the Dothraki well. If he catches a rumor of Dany and tracks down the Khalasars in the area he can find the spot. And remember how the riders circled around Dany? Right in the middle is her ring. It’s possible that the horse tracks are still visible.

Anyway, I only care for Benjen 😀 *lalalalalala* can’t express how much I hope you people are right that he might be the fire ball rider!

GRRM has sadly already confirmed that Benjen is not Coldhands

Nice catch. Very creepy indeed, they do not seem to be in a room where the nobility would live though. Might be that D&D felt that it was too repetitive to have them slain in their own quarters (Tywin and all that).

Overall, nice trailer and it didn’t give away too much. Hope this is the only one they release. Feels good not knowing what is coming.

Twenty-five to thirty years is the lifespan of a horse. Unless it’s an ice horse.

i get the feeling that Brienne might not come out of the sansa / theon rescue. I wonder if she’ll be ramsey fodder? Certainly lots of Jon Snow in a trailer for S6 when he’s dead. Mel getting her love jubblies out again made me smile. Azor Ahai confirmed?

Thronetender: That’s what I thought, as well. And is she stroking that metalwork? It would have to be scorching hot from a long-burning fire, it must be Dany, after she is rescued it seems.

Targaryens aren’t immune to fuck it never mind.

Dany is heat resistant. As S1 clearly proved, with the dragon egg scene and the bath scene.

Now is she also fire resistant? That’s open too interpretation, I think she is until more evidence is provided.

But there is no doubt, in the show at least, she is HEAT resistant.

No way Sansa escapes to LF. We have seen a photo of her and Theon taking farewell in a shore. LF is still on his way when sansa and theon escape. It goes without saying.

I am not implying that Davos is about to harm Ghost but somehow Ghost will be sacrificed in some manner to save Jon. “Only death can pay for life” or something like that. I agree that Davos is about to give battle against attackers but Ghost is just lying there with Jon in the symbolic ‘christian’ sacrifice, death and resurrection cross position. If attackers are coming (and they are) why is Ghost in such a strange physical position? Ghost is positioned away from the attackers, not even between Jon and his enemies. He is lying supine and perhaps unconscious.

What NATIONALIST, dumb communist faggot? You leftists are sick, transfering your real word obsessions to fiction.

I think that’s a strong possibility, and his tweets lend a bit more credence to our earlier predictions that Robert Aramayo is Howland Reed and Luke Roberts is Arthur Dayne.

This duel is gonna be god-tier, Dawn or not. I can just feel it. It’ll put the Hound vs. Beric and Oberyn vs. the Mountain to shame… at least until Cleganebowl happens. IT’S COMING.

Speaking of amazing fights, I just have to reiterate how badass Davos is in that trailer. Based Davos just up and grabbing Longclaw and ready to lay the beatdown on Thorne and his cronies. I think I’m more excited for that than anything at the moment. That and Robert Strong splitting Sparrows in half.
