  1. 1 more month, just 1 more!

    Hope we get some titles soon, that should get debates started.

    On topic: Love Arya’s photo and can’t wait to see Varys and Tyrion. Love those 2.

  2. I leave the internet for 2 hours and this happens!!! So excited for Bran’s and Sansa’s arc in Season 6!!

  3. Podeswa being in the shot with NCW on the ship means it’s one of the first two episodes, not that anybody was expecting otherwise.

  4. Have you all seen on Twitter lately? One guy saw the new trailer and took photos of it and posted them. Some good stuff he found. Watchers was retweeting the photos. Like

    Drogon flying over dothraki and Wun Wun storming through the gates of Castle Black.
  5. I’m curious to know what we will be seeing about the future through Bran. Only about WW? Or the future of the characters?

  6. Guys when do you think the episode titles will be released??? Should get some good speculation out of those…

  7. Very nice. I wonder if what Max Van Sydow is wearing is meant to evoke ragged Night’s Watch robes

    For that matter, I wonder if they’ll at all get into his backstory from the books, or just make him a different character. It’s fairly convoluted.

  8. What’s with every still of Arya we’ve gotten our hands on so far this year looking so bloody brilliant? Literally everything I’ve seen of her season 6 self looks visually breathtaking (despite reportedly having given her sore eyes, those contacts seem to fare well with her on-screen presence). It also gives that sort of eerie vibe that really, really gets to me (only in the best of ways). Hands down the best new photo for today, at least as far as my humble opinion goes.

    Meanwhile, up north: Bloodraven must be shipping Bran and the Night’s King so hard.

  9. Joffrey’s Cunt:
    HBO schedule update
    Game of Thrones 54- 59 minutes
    (longest until now)

    I can only see it up to 5×02. Do you have a link?

    What were the runtimes until now? 50 for the first, 54 for the second and…?

  10. Drogon flies in and saves Dany! Please do it soon, because her storyline looks unbelievably boring.

  11. Connor:

    I don’t use Twitter, dang it.

  12. After watching Daredevil Season 2, I can’t help being reminded of Stick by Max von Sydow.

    WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU YOU BOOK NAZI, JUST ACCEPT THINGS. Yeah, it is a bit convoluted. Who is he playing again? 🙂

  14. Yaaaaaas
    So sick

    I am going to Cuba for a week tomorrow and when I come back there will only be three weeks!!!!!!

  15. ?????:
    Drogon flies in and saves Dany! Please do it soon, because her storyline looks unbelievably boring.

    What, you want her back in Meereen already? Because that would be so much less boring now, wouldn’t it 😛

  16. So now we have images of Three-Eyed Raven and

    Night’s King as the stills from the new trailer shows

    grabbing Bran by the hand.

  17. Connor:

    is that wun wun stroming the gates of castle black…. ?

    For that matter, I wonder if they’ll at all get into his backstory from the books, or just make him a different character. It’s fairly convoluted.

    I think that they’ll mention that he was Lord Commander of the Night’s Watch, hence the nod to his old Night’s Watch clothes during the visions…

  19. Probably all these pictures are from early episodes. But why there still is no sight to Trystane, I want to know if he will go to King’s Landing.

  20. cosca,

    Perhaps they’ll mention how he arrived to the wall, togheter with Aemon.

    I highly doubt they will mention the blackfire rebellion or his brothers.

    But who knows. If Bran doesn’t get much action until later in the season, they might go into some world-building.

    Witch I wouldn’t mind at all, it means we get more Von Sydow!

  21. Dragonmcmx,

    That’s because I’m tagging only half of it! Talking about Three-Eyed Raven isn’t a spoiler, his identity was revealed back in season 4 and he even introduces himself to Bran.

  22. Chinoiserie,

    Trystane is one of the big remaining question marks (so is everything to do with Dorne, for that matter). We actually know surprisingly little about King’s Landing this season, on the whole.

  23. Sansa looks SO much taller than Theon in that photo… it made me giggle. I actually thought for a split second Theon was Arya (even though I knew logistically that would make NO sense). I suppose it just reminded me of Sophie and Maisie’s extreme height difference… Is Alfie Allen really that short? Or is it just an odd angle?

    I’m so excited (and I just can’t hide it)! 😉

  24. Maisie Williams is amazing. Not only is she a great actress but she also puts a lot of work into the character behind the scenes and is willing to make sacrifices (cutting her hair instead of wearing a wig and now wearing uncomfortable lenses instead of using CGI).

    Also, Arya looks brilliant in Season 6. She is already one of the more popular characters in the series but I can see her character becoming even more inconic after this season (blind Arya will be remembered as one of the best ‘looks’ for a character as well)

  25. I can’t wait for the Tyrion and Varys show again. I could watch an entire season of just those two! Max von Sydow reminds me of his The Force Awakens character; but hopefully it won’t be the same fate! I would like it if his Targaryen lineage is brought up. Now that Aemon is dead, we need another ancient Targ around. Poor little assassin Arya! 🙁

  26. I find the Bran/Bloodraven picture interesting. Bran looks to be in some distress and BR looks concerned. Initially I thought

    Bran was having his encounter with the Night’s King and BR is trying to bring him out of the vision.

    But since Bran is standing, that means they’re both in the vision and it can’t be what I thought. Oh well.

    And I’m getting tired of Arya looking beat up in almost every picture. Jeebus, let’s just her the hell away from the Faceless Men.

    It’s been 14 hours since the promo aired and still nothing official from HBO. I’m getting annoyed.

  27. hodor,

    I actually meant the

    “grabbing Bran by the arm”

    part, but I just only realized that that also applied to the 3EC, so that’s probably what you meant.

  28. Does anyone know where I can find the screencaps of the new trailer mentioned at the end of the article?

  29. Chinoiserie:
    Probably all these pictures are from early episodes. But why there still is no sight to Trystane, I want to know if he will go to King’s Landing.

    Sebastian confirmed that he’s back this season and the EW article said that Dorne and the Sand Snakes are back. Trystane is on that ship with Jaime, Bronn, and Myrcella.

  30. Danielle Stark:

    I’m so excited (and I just can’t hide it)!

    Sophie is just really tall, she towers over almost everyone, well maybe not Gwendoline, but she is certainly not average height.

  31. Why are you calling this video a trailer already? Dont you think for the much of pics the guy put in his twitter is too short to be a trailer?i can see like 30 sec of video there, and being a nice dude like 40 sec.

    Its much more like a spot tv or a promo.

  32. taim: Sophie is just really tall, she towers over almost everyone, well maybe not Gwendoline, but she is certainly not average height.

    she is 1.73 cm tall, but wears heels that makes her look taller than most.

  33. Looks like Max von Sydow is performing an exorcism on Bran… 😀

    “I cast you out, unclean spirit…”

  34. Aguero,

    I don’t think he took stills of every single shot, if he had done that, he might’ve as well recorded it. I’m guessing the commercial will be about a minute long.

  35. Ross Doherty:
    Aguero,

    He said there was other stuff and I’m sure their will be footage we’ve already seen included in it

    Yeah a lot of the scenes seem like extensions of the ones from the trailer like Bran/NK and Tyrion in the vault.

  36. I cant believe that trailer isn’t up on YT already. I keep refreshing WoTW, reddit, youtube, twitter, but nothing so far 🙁

  37. Love the Theon/Sansa pic. It’s as if we and the crew are looking through a mirror. So excited about their storylines.

  38. taim,

    Yes, I know Sophie is very tall… but when I recall her and Alfie’s season 5 scenes, the height difference wasn’t drastic like in this new photo. I’m thinking perhaps the terrain was a bit uneven in that spot in the woods? But I suppose he could be hunching over even more than usual after that high jump! 😉

  39. WalterHarrow:

    Amen.

    We better get a blind Arya Funko Pop too. It’s annoying that there hasn’t been a new Arya, who has changed her look significantly and there’s been like 4 of Dany looking almost the same, just different clothes.

  40. How did the trailer end up on TBS, as the guy said? That seems like it had to be a mistake at the station?

  41. Laura:

    Doesn’t sound like it was a mistake nor a full length trailer, but rather one of those 30 second promos. A poster on Previously.tv said she saw the same promo during Vikings which is on the History channel. So this promo aired last night on various basic cable channels.

    I didn’t see it during Vikings. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a GoT trailer other than HBO.

  43. Selina:
    Laura,

    They better make a Bran Stark Funko Pop first. Six seasons and no Bran Funko.

    Yes please! I think he’ll be a part of Series 6. Probably Davos and Tormund too.

  44. Jack Bauer 24: Sebastian confirmed that he’s back this season and the EW article said that Dorne and the Sand Snakes are back. Trystane is on that ship with Jaime, Bronn, and Myrcella.

    He will fall overboard and drown becoming the show version of Patchface. Ya know ya know oh oh oh

  45. I’m surprised nobody has posted the new footage on YT or Reddit. Somebody somewhere had to have recorded it.

  46. I wonder if that rigid, head-thrown-back posture will be Bran’s schtik every time he goes into the Pensieve with Bloodraven – or every time he’s about to come back out. Kind of reminds me of when my kid’s having an epileptic seizure, only standing up.

  47. The marketing department is seriously messing with us this year. Must be hilarious to watch us poor souls struggle.

  48. Jack Bauer 24: I didn’t see it during Vikings.

    Interesting. After I saw the post on Previously.tv, I changed the channel from TBS to Vikings in the hopes of seeing the promo but it was already 30 minutes in so I assumed I’d just missed it. But if you didn’t see it and neither did Deesansfan, I don’t know what to think.

    JFC, HBO just post the damn promo already. Grrrr.

  49. Jack Bauer 24: Yes please! I think he’ll be a part of Series 6. Probably Davos and Tormund too.

    I am on board for all of those! I’ll even take a Rickon – just hope it’s not a memorial Pop. 🙁

  50. The trailer is being aired all over the place and no one has recorded it yet? At this day and age, it’s unthinkable.

  51. Hmm… the rocks behind Bran match the Tower of Joy location. He was spotted filming there, wasn’t he?

  52. trarecar:
    Yay for confirmation that we will be seeing the past, present and future through Bran!

    Is this the first time we’ve gotten confirmation Bran will be seeing the present? We know what he’ll be seeing in the past (yay!!) and I think there’s been speculation the future might have do to with the WW & the wall, but I don’t think we knew he’d be spying on the present. The only thing I can think of for the present is maybe something to do with his siblings. Which would be awesome.

  53. wasn’t their supposed to be some interviews for the big battle or something, Awesome photos, so pumped 🙂

  54. trarecar: Yay for confirmation that we will be seeing the past, present and future through Bran!

    Wait, what here confirms that Bran is seeing either the present or the future? It is not that I will be surprised if he does: on the contrary, I will be surprised if he does not! However, is there anything here that says “this must be ‘now'” or “This must be yet to come”?

  55. Bott: Hmm… the rocks behind Bran match the Tower of Joy location.

    As someone with a degree in geology, I can confirm that those look like the rocks in a LOT of locations. There was nothing particularly unique about the rocks at the ToJ location.

  56. Mag,

    Can you guys please stop hinting like this? It’s obvious what you’re referring to, some would rather not read it.

  57. Matthew The Dragon knight:
    wasn’t their supposed to be some interviews for the big battle or something, Awesome photos, so pumped

    They said there’s still tons of coverage to come, so maybe this weekend or next week.

  58. I was just wondering if I am the only one that is annoyed by this… Probably, because I’m just weird like that…

    It has to do with Arya and her big white contact lenses showing us she is blind.

    In reality, blind people usually keep their eyes closed and wear patches, a cloth wrapped around her eyes, or glasses. They don’t just always keep their blinded eyes wide open all the time like that.

    IDK, just seems overplayed, yes we get it, she’s blinded but do we have to see her white contacts in every frame?

    Wouldn’t her wearing something over her eyes, like most blind people do, be more realistic?

  59. Danielle Stark:
    Sansa looks SO much taller than Theon in that photo… it made me giggle. I actually thought for a split second Theon was Arya (even though I knew logistically that would make NO sense). I suppose it just reminded me of Sophie and Maisie’s extreme height difference… Is Alfie Allen really that short? Or is it just an odd angle?

    I’m so excited (and I just can’t hide it)!

    That made me giggle too! Sophie is my height, which I suppose might be considered tall, but Alfie isn’t THAT much shorter, so I’m thinking Theon is stumbling along more hunched since he was already in less than stellar shape.

    And I still don’t care how ideal that snowbank was – you jump from that height, you screw some shit up. I know of what I speak! 😛

  60. Maisie says she has less screen time this year (or was it just less episodes? Can’t remember), but it’s already looking like she’s making it worth every minute.

  61. It looks as though that shot of Bran and BR is a few seconds before he turns and sees the NK, or a few seconds later. Could it be that NK/BR are battling for control of Bran?

  62. Arthur,

    Perhaps because she’s begging in some shots so far – perhaps it is better business to show her disability? And the others she looks like she’s indoors.

  63. And I still don’t care how ideal that snowbank was – you jump from that height, you screw some shit up. I know of what I speak!

    Right, and the photo looks to be right after the jump, them on the run – but there is hardly any snow on the ground or around the trees – how did that amount gather into a bank of snow? They should be at struggling thru at least a few feet of snow…

  64. viki,

    The closest I can figure is that Northern Snowplow Co. made a pass through Winterfell earlier in the day, banking up snow beneath the walls. Then later on, Leonardo DiCaprio is chased by a bear through the forest, spreading global warming in his wake….

  65. Laura: Amen.

    We better get a blind Arya Funko Pop too. It’s annoying that there hasn’t been a new Arya, who has changed her look significantly and there’s been like 4 of Dany looking almost the same, just different clothes.

    A blind Arya would be awesome! I love those Pop figurines, really cool little collectible. Agree about Dany. I know she is the big heroine of the story but aside from the clothes, nothing has really evolved with her look. It’s definitely time for another Arya. And agree with the person who mentioned Bran.
    Wish they would do a Sansa one again with red hair. The “Dark” Sansa Pop made sense for about 2 seconds since the writers didn’t go the Alayne alias route.

  66. viki: Right, and the photo looks to be right after the jump, them on the run – but there is hardly any snow on the ground or around the trees – how did that amount gather into a bank of snow? They should be at struggling thru at least a few feet of snow…

    In a recent interview Sophie mentions the jump and just says that the snow broke their fall.

    Yeah I love collecting them. I have around 25 right now. I just got all of the new ones (Stannis, Mel, Bronn, Jorah, Margaery, Unsullied, and Harpy. I didn’t get the Dany/Drogon one though. I already have Drogon and Mhysa Dany.

  68. Am I the only one who so that sort of trailer a few months ago, with the wall falling and the White Walkers crossing over Castle Black, with Jon and Danny first in the desert, then up in the North, with her three dragons, very close to the wall/ the remainings of it? As much as I tried to find it again, I couldn’t.
