Hot on the heels of the glut of info and teases from the Game of Thrones red carpet premiere comes this incredible new trailer!

  1. OMG, DROGON LOOKS FUCKING HUGE IN THAT ONE SHOT!!

    And it looks like Richard Brake is still playing the Night King, and it looks like they are attacking the 3 Eyed crows cave!!!

    I got feels when Tormund said that he thought Jon was going to lead them through the Long Night….

  2. Ser Arthur Dayne kicking ass at the 1:02. #GetHYPE!!

    Also, looked like the Nights King was strolling through the wall after it fell.

  3. FUCKING BEAST!!!!!
    Bloody Epic, this is a trailer!!!!
    best Game of Thrones trailer to date hands down, Tower of Joy, Jaime Leading the Lannister army, the Freys and tullys are back, The Big battle in the North, Davos with the Northern Army, Arya training/fighting in the house of black and white, the white walkers look creepy as hell, and the three eyed raven and a hooded figure…..
    SEASON 6! Season 6!!! SEASON 6!!!!!
    Winter has Come!!!!!!

  4. Davos in Winterfell? Was that a Stark sigil I saw in that hall or was that the Mormont sigil?

  5. YEEEE BOIIIII!!!! Sansa The Queen of the North! Tyrion and the Dragons! The Tower of Joy! White Walkers on the move!

  6. It looks like Davos is going to do a lot, taking charge… After having seen this trailer I think that Jon wont even be in the first half of the season, to make people doubt that he will ever come back and then all of a sudden he will appear at the battle with Mel. Davos is the one who is going to start the war against the Boltons.

  7. Also posted in other feed:

    First glances
.

    Brienne and Pod at Riverrun.

    Walder Frey (at a wedding?)

    Sansa in a dress with Stark emblem

    Davos referring to the long night (in the same Castle chamber that Sansa was in on the previous trailers)

  8. The dragons are looking so effing huge I knew they would but actually see them in action is a whole new thing im so hyyyyyyped

    On a side note I guess we were wrong about the acctress who’d play the red priestess in Meereen right?

  9. That trailer was stellar! Even better than the first.

    It’s not the most dynamic shot, but Sansa in her dress/armor adorned with the Stark sigil is fucking amazing.

    I’m going to lose half the day going over it frame-by-frame. Not that I mind. 😉

  10. Eeeeeeeee!!! My body is ready!! Quick thoughts:

    Davos appears to be standing in the same hall Sansa was in the last trailer. And that hall has Mormont banners. I think Davos & Sansa will go together to Bear Island and rally the troops. So fucking excited.

    And Sansa is definitely wearing clothes with a Direwolf stitching. Holy crap!!

    Tyrion & Dragons!!!! I’m so damn happy!!

    I’m off to watch in in slow-mo.

  11. Holy shit! Look at that, its always worth the wait I am telling you folks.

    This show relies so much on CGI for their payoff moments.

    Every trailer just gets better and better!

    We will probably get one more amazing trailer that will be released on some talk show next week…

  12. Sansa, oh my! That direwolf embroidery alone is to die for!

    Brienne in Riverrun! But what happens to poor lil Pod?

    There is also that wall of bodies in the Battle for Winterfell…

    Teary eyes from seeing Loras and his sister hugging.

    The mountain is gonna wreak havoc.

    Few questions:
    So how many Red Priestesses are there in Meereen this season?

    Davos going to Bear Island or is the Winterfell hall decorated with bannermen shields LOL? Or am I mistaken in thinking it’s the mormont bear?

  13. Wylie,

    Yes, I think it’s the Mormonts. So that means we’re going to see the Mormont women?? That would be awesome!

  14. This trailer is so awesome! We need a frame by frame just like last time, if it is not too much to ask.

    The red priestess in the meereen pyramid with Varys is not the same actress that was spotted during filming in Spain. I know the actress but I can’t place a name right now.

  15. BunBunStark: Davos appears to be standing in the same hall Sansa was in the last trailer. And that hall has Mormont banners. I think Davos & Sansa will go together to Bear Island and rally the troops. So fucking excited.

    And Sansa is definitely wearing clothes with a Direwolf stitching. Holy crap!!

    Looks like Davos and Sansa are a team this year, which confirms Liam’s quote that she has a great arc this season. I think Queen of the North is CONFIRMED!

  16. House C:
    Connor,

    I think Tormund was referring to Mance, in acknowledging that it will in fact be Jon to lead them when he rises again.

    Or maybe Tormund saw what Jon did during the massacre at Hardhome, killing the White Walker and saving as many Wildlings as he can.

  17. My jaw just hit the floor. This trailer was beyond amazing, and easily the best Game of Thrones trailer of all time. Holy fucking shit. Holy fucking hype. I still have goosebumps from watching it 10 minutes ago. wow.

  18. So much goodness!

    Davos and Stark banners, so good to see them again, and when he mentions the dead are coming it looks like the Mormont siglil in the background? Also, how have Brienne and Pod got to Riverrun so quick, must of been captured. Don’t look happy.

    Hype is real.

  19. House C:
    Connor,

    I think Tormund was referring to Mance, in acknowledging that it will in fact be Jon to lead them when he rises again.

    Yup. That line is in there to mislead us. Can’t fool us, though.

  20. Sansa must be headed to her Dads old ally Howland Reed?
    I really hope that was not Ramsey capturing Pod.

  21. Awesome trailer! Amazing!

    But the last shot with Tyrion and the dragon gives me bad Quentyn vibes…

  22. The actress walking away from Tyrion and Varys seems to be that Israeli actress, so she is playing a red priestess and not a young stunner like some speculated.

  23. I saw the HBO YouTube notification on my phone, went RIGHT to it and woah, it gave me goosebumps with that music. A man is ready

  24. Does anyone recognize the actress playing the Red Priestess who meets with Tyrion and Varys at 0:54?

    It looks like she’s actually High Priestess Kinvara. Melanie Liburd must be playing one of the Red Priestesses that she summons to Meereen to spread the word about Dany being the One Who Was Promised.
  25. This trailer has completely destroyed all the other trailers. Huge shoutout to the team behind this trailer because just….wow.

  26. Theres a shadow shot of what looks to be Jaimie killing the Mad King! Also, the pile of bodies in the Battle of the Bastards is there too….

  27. Getting some serious of Sansa vs. Ramsay/Boltons vibes with this trailer. She’s going to kick some ass this season. I still think her and Jon are going to reunite at some point…maybe mid-season? Her and Rickon will probably run into each other first, especially if she goes to the Last Hearth/White Harbor.

    Also, can I say that if Jaime teams up with Cersei and they end up banging again this season, I will question why I ever loved him in the first place?! At this point in the books, he pretty much wants nothing to do with her.

    Arya looks kick ass. Can’t wait to see what she’s going to do in Braavos.

    Side note-Is it just me, or does the Night’s King look more buff? xD

  28. “I thought he was the man to lead us through the long night, I was wrong”.- Tormund.

    I will bet money that’s classic misdirection! We’re to believe he means Jon, but I’d wager he’s actually saying it to Jon. Regarding Mance Rayder.

    “I thought he was the man to lead us through the long, I was wrong… You are”

    You heard it hear first!

  29. At 0:55, that’s Israeli actress Ania Bukstein with Tyrion and Varys. I guess thats put a halt to the Lyanna Stark hopes that were going when she was cast.

  30. Christopher Lennon,

    Because it’s just a deviance from the book. We will have to wait and see why he’s not in white, but I’m sure it’s because they want to seem less inconspicuous. It would be obvious to people that somebody important was there if 3 kingsguard members were just hanging out at the ToJ during an open rebellion. Just my thoughts anyway.

  31. Ravyn,

    I must say a Davos and Sansa pairing would make me very happy 🙂

    Also good to see the Freys back.

    And I’m wondering if anyone can make out who it is with Littlefinger? Probably impossible to say…

  32. This will be my first year watching the show as it comes out week-by-week – but I’ll be watching on HBO Now.

    Does anyone know when the episodes are released on that platform? I assume it’s probably sometime after it airs on HBO, rather than at the same time.

  33. The red priestess is stunning.

    My poor dear Jorah.

    That look Frankenmountain gives Jaime though!!!

  34. Christopher Lennon:
    A Faceless Man,

    if it’s arthur dayne, why isn’t he in white?

    First of all, the Kingsguard armour is not even white in TV continuitiy. As it concerns Arthur Dayne, maybe Targaryens (or at least king Aerys) used different Kingsguard armour or maybe ser Arthur is not even wearing one.

  35. Max Von Sydow shot looks like he is in the same place where the Tower of Joy scene is! Both of them were seen on set there, so they are actually walking inside the visions!!!

  36. Darjan,

    Yeah, I think you’re right. It’s Ania Bukstein.

    I tried to edit my comment earlier, but couldn’t because the traffic on the website is so high. Understandably so.

  37. sirensong:

    Also, can I say that if Jaime teams up with Cersei and they endup banging again this season, I will question why I ever loved him in the first place?! At this point in the books, he pretty much wants nothing to do with her.

    Jaime is still before his AFFC story and desires his “sweet sister” who is the one who sent him to Riverlands. Also in this period there is a scene in a white tower where Cersei tries something you suggest. I believe they just delayed his arc.
    I wonder why we see how he killed the Mad King!!!

  38. So it looks like that scene of someone being hit by a hooded man with a fireball from the previous trailer is really of a wight, because it appears again next to the white walkers cuts and right after Davos says “The dead are coming”

  39. Love it! I was hoping the trailer would be released when we heard that one accompanied the premiere.

    I loved the first trailer; I loved this one even more.

    Can’t fucking wait. I really think this could be the best season yet given what we know/what we’ve seen.

  40. at 1:07 if you look at the shadow carefully, it looks like Pycell. I think he finally bites the dust this season.
  41. Any guesses who Littlefinger runs into in that snowy forest? Seems like that’s the only clip we have of him in any trailer, so far.

  42. I see Davos going to Bear Island! And at 0:52 I see him with a Stark flag in the background.

    I also spotted like 6 burning crosses in front of Winterfell at 0:53.

    I also see them showing that footage with the horses, but no sign of who is riding them. I bet on Theon’s left testicle that Jon’s riding a white horse lmao.

  43. McMannis,

    People climbing over a towering pile of dead bodies confirmed. Looks like the wildlings are trapped between the pile and the wall of Bolton shields.

    That’s consistent with the EW article (and the Reddit leak, FWIW).
  44. Season 6 seems seriously weirdly dark, it’s scary as hell??

    Arya doesn’t seem blind in the fight with Waif?

  45. With that Podrick scene I have a feeling we might see this season LSH.
    For the record I never believed that she will ever be in the show. But I don’t know why they might do it this season.

  46. Wylie,

    Yes, you’re right! I took a closer look after Darjan threw out her name earlier in the thread. It’s Ania Bukstein.

    As others have said, she was a popular guess for Lyanna, but it looks like she’s actually Kinvara. Melanie Liburd must be playing a different Red Priestess who comes to Meereen on Kinvara’s orders.
  47. 1:31 – Brienne and Pod with Tully flags in the background.

    Also, when someone grabs Pod by the neck I see red tents in the background. I’m guessing it’s a Lannister camp based on previous seasons.

    Also, what is Meera looking at that’s so high?? Please don’t die lol.

  48. Sansa and Davos in the same room, another give-away for Jon’s comeback…

    And that pile of bodies. Just what that extra who posted his spoilers on reddit said….

  49. It looks like reddit guy was right. Wall of bodies, Wildlings getting hammered, Sansa with Vale riders.

  50. Holy shit.. are, are they doing this? Can they make this happen?

    I haven’t felt this hyped since I saw Dany’s army in the season 3 trailer. And season 4 and 5 trailers were pretty epic on their own. But this…this is ANOTHER LEVEL!

    also, Pod gets bagged at RR…………..LSH HYPE!

  51. Ring:
    Was that lady stoneheart in the background at the 50second mark?

    Yes, and she is with Benjen, Syrio Forel and Coldhands!

  52. So I have been a silent reader of this forum for the past 7-8 months but now I just can’t resist joining in. This is a bloody awesome trailer.. heaps and bounds ahead of the first one!! I m so freakin’ hyped right now!! Just can’t wait!!

    Ps: I am Angeala btw!! GOT fan from India!!

  53. Lol..

    Jaime has got the best dialog in that trailer so funny I love it.

    High Sparrow – “You’d spill blood in this holly place?”
    Jaime – “The Gods wont mind”

    Hell yeah Jaime put that asshole in his place!

    Priceless!

  54. Very little Dany, and, again, mostly from what I assume is her early stuff as captive. Either she has some incredibly spoiler-isa stuff they’re holding back, or, God forbid, she’s captive the whole season.

  55. I’m kind of surprised they released a trailer like this so soon. After the first one seemed to be drawn so heavily from only first episode or two, I kind of figured they were trying to withhold footage from later in the season. Not complaining, of course.

    The shot of Davos indoors looks rather like he’s in the same place Sansa was in the shot from the previous trailer.

  56. I have a theory with several sub-topics as to where Season 6 may go. Perhaps half-baked. With the data on hand only now. But perhaps perceiving some trends….

    Ultimately, I think Ms. Targaryen will prevail, take the throne. She will stop the Ice King and White Walkers with her dragons. Heat burns flesh to nothing, melts ice and snow, turns water to steam. Nothing can resist that. So all she needs is her three dragons to be free to engage these things from Beyond the Wall–maybe at night, as the aim of arrows is not very good in the dark…. swords miss their targets without rays of light…..

    The Stark Children will wend and connoiter their way through this season 6, and be all accounted for at the end, still alive. Indeed, dwarves, dragons and Starks are the nexuses of this entire story, and I don’t think the showrunners want to mess with that….my opinion I am expressing here.

    Since R.R. Martin likes to kill off characters (but now he is not in control of the storyline–the TV series is now off beyond where Winds of Winter will go (I have no doubt)), perhaps the showrunners might want to do some “R.R. Martin-ing” of their own. I suspect that Cersei’s son (the current King) will buy it (none of the Lannister children will survive); Cersei herself may buy it; It might happen that Ramsey Bolton will buy it, in a most satisfying, yet exceptionally cruel way… I also think Ms. Targaryen will take a husband when she ascends the throne…. I also think that the Dragons will eat perhaps one or two key characters also….

    My speculative two cents…

  57. Moka: Yes, and she is with Benjen, Syrio Forel and Coldhands!

    You forgot Howland Reed, who is Mance, who is also Rhaegar.

  58. At the 1:23 mark, Bloodraven (Max von Sydow) is standing in the same place in the Tower of Joy scene! You can even see some dead bodies behind him!!

  59. Thedoor,

    Watch for Sansa and her line “When I think of everything that’s been taken from me”. It’s just footage they took from the Red Wedding.

  60. *Squeals like a teenage girl at a boyband concert*

    *Passes out*

    *Gets back up*

    Good God!! That trailer was everything. SANSAAAAAAAAAAA!!!! ❀❀❀❀❀❀❀

  61. Matthew The Dragon knight:
    Flayed Potatoes,

    also that field looks just like the one in a certain Spoilery pic showing a certain Bastard :p

    They probably cropped and edited that footage to hell so we won’t see something. I wonder who the guy on the white horse behind Sansa is (in the photo above the post). They cut away really fast, so as not to show us who she was with.

  62. Agro:
    So it looks like that scene of someone being hit by a hooded man with a fireball from the previous trailer is really of a wight, because it appears again next to the white walkers cuts and right after Davos says “The dead are coming”

    “The dead are coming” might have a double meaning here (Jon, The Hound, some other dead lady, etc)

    This trailer… omfg. I can’t wait to see the frame by frame.

  63. Could it be the Brotherhood capturing Pod? AKA. Stoneheart time!? 😀

    Davos with Stark Banner in the Background!

  64. “I drink and I know things.” Haha! Love that line. Can’t wait! But ooh noooo Podrick! I was hoping he’d be spared his book death but I have a feeling his days are numbered now!
  65. At the end Meera is climbing out of something, and the next shot at least has Varys at the top of the stairs while Tyrion holds the torch to have a peek at the dragons – so at least he’s not alone. 🙂

  66. This is going to be a looooooong threat

    Highlights for me

    Looks like I was right, Davos sees the post Stannis-defeat burnings,

    Ser Robert Strong and the Faith Militant at 1:31

    Ser Arthur Dayne at 0:42 I think it was

    Of course the Night’s King

    Already up to 75k, that is going to go massively viral

  67. Ravyn,

    That is definitely NOT footage from the Red Wedding. There are Lannister soldiers there and Black Walder is sitting next to Walder.

  68. What is Melisandre looking at?

    Also, I think I saw Loras and Margaery hugging and they are in VERY bad shape.

  69. This trailer reassured me in one thing. Jon Snow is gonna appear in the battle against Boltons when all people including Tormund, Davos and Sansa will think that he is dead. He will appear. That would be epic!!!ï»ż

  70. – Poor Dany. They strip her naked. Ugh.
    – That shot of Drogon flying over the khalasar keeps getting better and better. I hope he follows them all the way to Vaes Dothrak and simply intimidates them until he’s ready for a good ol’ BBQ.
    – Ramsay wiping clean a knife with smirk on his face. That’s never a good sign. I wonder what he’s just done?

    Run, Walda, run!

    – 6 burning crosses outside Winterfell?! Yikes.
    – Oh damn, Jaqen with the threat to Arya. There will not be a third. Run, Arya, run!
    – Littlefinger looks a bit frightened in the woods. Who is that approaching him?
    – More Tower of Joy!!! And confirmation Bloodraven is there to watch.
    – Walder Frey, you old bastard! I’ve missed him.
    -Brienne and Pod inside Riverrun. OMG.
    – The Sparrow from the previous trailer getting choked with his own chains by FrankenMountain. Where art thou, Lancel?
    – Still not sure if that’s a flashback to Jaime & the Mad King or something happening with the Faith.
    – Oh hey, Sam! Hi, Gilly! Sam’s not looking so good.
    – Rhaegal & Viserion: play nice with Tyrion please
    – Poor Loras. He looks broken.

  71. Davos and sigil of House Mormont. It looks similiar to where Sansa was standing. Some meeting perhaps not necessarily Bear Island. But they hinted at their loyalty toards Starks.

  72. Marat:
    This trailer reassured me in one thing. Jon Snow is gonna appear in the battle against Boltons when all people including Tormund, Davos and Sansa will think that he is dead. He will appear. That would be epic!!!ï»ż

    but too late:( people will get impatient…

  73. Drogon is sooo much bigger. We got some glimpses of that huge White Walker scene they were talking about. That shot of the battlefield with the SIX burning flayed corpses on the crosses, is the same place where we saw our special friend in the leaked photo.

    That one shot of what looks like Jaimie killing the Mad King could be a vision.

  74. The more I see the more I think Jon may only resurface towards the end of the season. Like episode 7 or 8.

  75. This trailer is probably the best I’ve seen from the series!!! I’ve never been so excited for a trailer!!! So many things had me cheering, wondering what’s going on, and hollering. Can’t wait for the frame by frame pics. In the meantime, I’m going to watch this 1000 times.

    On a related note, anyone know the music used for the trailer? Last year, for the final(?) trailer, they used an Assassin’s Creed song, so I’m assuming the music is of a similar vein.

  76. Is that the Blackfish nabbing Podrick?

    So all our suspicions confirmed that Tyrion will release the dragons- but will he get blasted? I doubt it.

    Glad it seems we get to see House Mormont…. Is Davos going to arrive with Longclaw? With Jon 2.0? Does he arrive after Sansa has been there and possibly left for WF?

    STOKED!

  77. Daegon:
    This trailer has completely destroyed all the other trailers. Huge shoutout to the team behind this trailer because just
.wow.

    Yep, a great trailer. Much better than the first and some 2 minutes long.

    From the first trailer I was pretty sure Tyrion was down in the vaults intending to release the dragons and this new trailer has confirmed it.

    Not long to wait now 😀

  78. Wall Builder:
    Ravyn,

    That is definitely NOT footage from the Red Wedding.There are Lannister soldiers there and Black Walder is sitting next to Walder.

    Ah , thanks. Sharper eyes than mine, I see.

  79. What do they say at 0:10? And who says it? It sounds like Ramsay, but I doubt he’s talking to Tyrion.

  80. Sean C.,

    Perhaps this is a version of the trailer that aired after the premiere screening? Other than Davos and the Night’s Watch defending Jon’s body, there doesn’t seem to be a ton of footage here that’s likely to be drawn from Episode 1. That stands in contrast to the first trailer, since anecdotal reports seem to suggest that the premiere covered a good amount of that material.

    Like you, I wasn’t expecting another trailer to be released for public consumption, but if it was already cut and ready, that makes more sense.

  81. So, what do we learn from this epic trailer?

    – Walder Frey is back!!! And it seems there is a Frey family party (at the Twins or at Riverrun?). I guess this will become the Red Wedding Vol.2, but which characters will be involved? Brienne and Jaime could be there, but I can’t see them taking part in a Frey massacre. So Arya? Or the Blackfish?
    – It seems, we are going to see Bear Island this season! In one of the Davos scenes you can see several banners of House Mormont in the back. There is also a chandelier, which looks exactly like the one in the Sansa scene from the first trailer. I guess Bear Island is the place where Sansa starts to rally the North against the Boltons. If you give it a thought this makes a lot of sense: After escaping the Bolton hunters with Brienne’s help Sansa and Theon need a safe place to go and with the Umbers apparently on the Bolton’s side, Bear Island seems to be the best choice. Furthermore, it is the perfect place for Theon to take a boat to the Iron Islands and Brienne and Podrick could get away to the Riverlands from there without having to cross the dangerous Bolton territory. Davos could be send there by Jon (who knows about House Mormonts loyality to the Starks – remember Lyanna’s letter!) to bring them over to his side and surprisingly finds Sansa there. The question is: Will Sansa’s Northern army and Jon’s Wildling army unite before the battle or will these be two seperate armies? The battle scenes look like the Wildlings will attack first and get in serious trouble, so maybe Sansa comes in to safe the day?
    Btw, was there any casting call which could fit Lady Maege, little Lyanna or another member of House Mormont?
    – Littlefinger looks visibly shocked in the scene, where another figure approaches him. Who could that be? Ramsey? Jon? Sansa? Seems like his plans begin to backfire this season.
    – The Podrick scene at Riverrun is a little confusing. It doesn’t look like the attacker wants to kill him. There are two possibilities: Either he gets kidnapped by some outlaws leading to him and Brienne catching up with their book storyline or this is simply Bronn playing a joke on him 😉
  82. Antilles58,

    The best thing about HBO NOW is that once you’re done with a new episode, you can just rematch it immediately, and not have to wait for the late night rebroadcast.

  83. Ring:
    Was that lady stoneheart in the background at the 50second mark?

    It’s Margaery, being reunited in the dungeons with her brother.

  84. MeeraReed:
    At the end Meera is climbing out of something, and the next shot at least has Varys at the top of the stairs while Tyrion holds the torch to have a peek at the dragons – so at least he’s not alone.

    Looks like the same scene we saw of Meera in the forest from the behind the scenes video, and the same scene with the Hooded guy riding that horse hitting a wight with a ball of fire.

  85. Damn… I can’t stop watching this trailer.

    As far as excitement for TV shows it just doesn’t get any better then this!

  86. Newbietothegame,

    Yeah, I don’t understand half the scenes I saw

    —-

    *faints*
    Man this season is action packed

    All I have to say is SANSA <333333

    Also have a feeling Jon ain't coming back till next season most likely
    Lame!

    But all I all that trailer was amazing and I'm gonna watch it a hundred times now while I eat my lunch

  87. This picture is the one im talking about with Jaimie killing the Mad King, it looks like a crown and he is getting stabbed in the back

  88. Random things:

    1) I think those are wildlings at the beginning, silently having surrounded the mutineers waiting outside Davos’ door. Right?

    2) Has Davos believed in the dead coming to war before this? Or do you think he has seen some wights or walkers at this point?

    3) A Girl’s second chance….it looks like she will have to wear a face and do something she is very reluctant to do….but what???

    I think Meera is looking up at the person on the horse who took out the wight. 🙂

  89. Whoever gets the sword in his back has a beard so I’d guess Pycelle, also that Yara scene with a whore, she has a tear on her face aka Yara in Volantis confirmed. Is that Eddie Eyre as the KG at TOJ, always thought so!

  90. Assassin’s Creed Arya being a badass @1:27.

    All these fangirls think she is a badass already, wait till she completes her assassin training. I have a feeling we aint seen nothing yet!

  91. SANSAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA MYYYYYYYYYYYY QUEENNNNNNNN

    Sorry that’s the best that i can do right now.

    Wow just fucking WOW.

  92. TheKingWhoCares,

    Pod’s “attacker” is Bronn. Set reports suggested that after Brienne and Pod arrive at Riverrun, Bronn sneaks up behind Pod and grabs him as a joking way to say hello. Pod isn’t amused.

    I’m freaking pumped to see Bear Island. You’re right – if the Umbers are siding with the Boltons, then Bear Island makes the most sense as the rallying point for the loyal Northern forces. It’s also a good point for Theon to depart from when he leaves for the Iron Islands.

    Like you, I’m curious to see if they (re)cast Maege Mormont – or perhaps they cast Dacey Mormont (since – like the Greatjon and the Smalljon – she wasn’t featured at the Red Wedding, so she may not have died there as far as we know). We should definitely see Lyanna Mormont, since we got her awesome letter last Season. There had to be a few castings that slipped past our notice, especially in the North.

  93. Yeah, Jaime! Really psyched for the King’s Landing storyline this year. I’ve been missing the cocky badass Jaime since season 3

  94. Tywin of the Hill:
    The High Sparrow is about to be Thomas Becketed.

    I had the exact same reaction to that shot! Now, in the preceding scene, I want to hear Cersei say something very close to “Have I no friends? Will no one rid me of this turbulent priest?”

  95. Arthur:
    Pigeon,

    Is that who that woman was walking down Dany’s throne room stairs?If so, I agree with you she is beautiful.

    Yes, she has a similar ruby choker to Melisandre. 🙂

  96. 1:31 The result of Cersei deciding to “choose violence”. Looks like the guy is about to get his cap peeled…

  97. Just waiting for Alt Shift X’s new breakdown of this trailer. His breakdowns are the best, imo.

  98. I’m super excited for a major season from Jamie but I can’t get past the Tower of Joy. I’m so ready to see Ser Arthur Dayne who’s probably my favorite character.

  99. *Observations*:
    1. Such a good thumbnail for this article!

    2. The Mountain ripping that FM’s head off. (1:31)
    3. Lannister soldiers at a Frey feast!
    4. Bronn surprising Pod (1:43)
    5. Looks like Davos is at Bear Island (1:18)
    6. Yara in Volantis confirmed?! Yara = Victarion (1:22)
    7. Sansa’s reaction at (1:25)…my guess is she’s learning that Rickon is alive.

    *Help me speculate*:

    8. Who does LF see in the Godswood? (0:46)
    9. Who visits HS? (1:05)
    10. Who’s fighting Frankenmountain? (1:07)
    11. Where the hell is this taking place? (1:21)
    12. What are the SoH looking at? (1:30)
  100. Jay Targ,

    Wow, more news! When it rains it pours … in the best possible way. 🙂

    GeeklyInc is reliable. They broke several episode titles last year, including “Kill the Boy”, “Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken”, and “The Gift”.

    I’m very curious about “Home”. Unusual title for a Game of Thrones episode. It’s likely related to the North, but it could mean any number of things. So could “Oathbreaker”, for that matter. I can think of a number of possibilities for that one, none of them bright and sunny. It certainly sounds chilling.

  101. Oathbreaker can only allude to one person at this point in the story. The Pink Letter etc….

  102. GUYYYS
    you might have missed it but when it shows the four white walkers on the horses..
    The Nights King has a….
    GIANT HORN attached to his back….

  103. – That doesn’t look like the actor who is playing Arthur Dayne in the TOJ footage. I think that is another member of the Kingsguard. And they aren’t wearing white because the show wanted to differentiate Targaryen KG armor from Baratheon KG armor.

    – Jon is not coming back until mid-season. I started to doubt my earlier prediction of an episode 4 reveal, but now I am back to being confident in it.

    – I’m pretty sure it is

    Bronn

    who is grabbing Pod around the neck, based on filming spoilers.

    – The Reddit user who claimed to be an extra for the big battle is looking like he was telling the truth. Which further proves that

    Jon is coming back.
  104. Jack Bauer 24,

    Yeah they are suppose to get double the size but remember season 6 starts right where season 5 ended…

    So I am guessing someway through midseason there will be a lot of time that has passed and by the end of season 6 they will be double the size.

    A guy on here posted articles and statements from the VFX team so it is factual they get at least twice as big, but just not right away.

  105. Oathbreaker is either Jon or Jaime.
    I’d lean towards Jon as he’s about to turn on the Night’s Watch and go after the Boltons.

  106. Jaime will not break from Cersei yet.
    In the books it’s a slow procces, but I expect it to be much more sudden and direct in the show.

    He will most likely start to break from her when he finds about her and Lancel. Perhaps the HS tells him about them.

    The books scream that Jaime is the Valanqar. This why I think they removed that part of the prophecy and are waiting a bit longer until he breaks from her in the show.
    Most likely he will break completely a very short time before he finally

    kills Cersei
  107. So who is Jorah talking to when he says “I know what happens”? Is it to Daario after a perhaps completed mission to rescue Dany and this is a request for a mercy killing after mission accomplished (shades of Maester Aemon)? Is it to Dany after a rescue and this time being honest up front about something he would hide (his goodbye speech after volunteering for a suicide mission). Or is it perhaps to Tyrion? Maybe he comes in at the last minute to take Tyrion’s place to release the dragons and after showing his arm they clearly both have a shared understanding after seeing the stone men of Valyria.

  108. Were there any casting calls or anything for a Mormont, if Davos (and by extension, Sansa) are on Bear Island? I don’t recall seeing anything that put me in mind of them.

    Also, Sansa evidently finds a good embroiderer in addition to a quality furrier on her travels.

    We haven’t seen much of Arya’s season 6 material so far. Here there’s a bit more of her in the House of Black and White again, at least, but so far little indication of the major narrative developments (even if from filming spoilers we can guess at that).

    Based on that Frey gathering, I would guess Jaime is headed to the Twins after the Riverrun setpiece, based on the spoilers that he’d be headed away from Riverrun by season’s end.
  109. PURE CINEMATOGRAPHY!
    That charge in the battle…OMG!! That shot (always from the hooves of the horses, of course) 😉
    Davos, Sansa (she looks like a queen!!!) Tormund, Ramsay, etc, OMG!
    AWESOME TRAILER!

  110. Ravyn:
    Any guesses who Littlefinger runs into in that snowy forest? Seems like that’s the only clip we have of him in any trailer, so far.

    My actual best guess is Sansa & co., but…oh please let it be Lady Stoneheart! 😛

  111. Matthew The Dragon knight

    Don’t believe it’s Pycelle, looks like the one who gets stabbed is wearing a crown (Mad King), and the stabbing guy is wearing a cape (Jaime in kingsguard armor)

  112. Shadow Shifter,

    I took a pic and came here to see if anyone figured it out. All I know is that it is not a Direwolf one. I was afraid it was Lion. That’s the only part that shocked me actually from the whole trailer. Will browse comments. Maybe someone DID figure it out,

  113. All I could think of while watching this was: “OMG OMG OMG OH. MY. GOD!” How many shows can reach a sixth season and make you feel this hyped? If loving GoT this much is wrong, I don’t wanna be right.

    13 days, and counting. :heavybreathing:

  114. Holy Hell. I come out of a long meeting to this epic trailer? This day just got MUCH better! So much content…so good.

  115. Connor,

    CASTING DESCRIPTION: Legendary Fighter(!): A man in his thirties or forties who is a great swordsman and a paragon of knighthood. He carries a hugely famous sword(!) on his back. The show is seeking a very impressive swordsman for the role- the best in Europe, for a week of filming fight scenes for a season 6 role. His ethnicity/race isn’t specified, unlike many other roles.

    It will be Arthur Danye.

  116. The episode 2&3 titles were released; Home and Oathkeeper.

    This trailer is too epic, I need Season 6 start already!

  117. Deesensfan:
    I am nervous for season six
 It looks dark and scary to be honest

    Well, we are looking at only two minutes of snippets. Don’t worry my friend, it will be awesome.

  118. Hold me. Someone.

    I’d post a break down in comment form, but I have limited time rn.

    Things of note:

    -Walder Frey
    -Six crosses at BasBo, rather than the reported two
    -Night’s King
    -Dragons
    -Davos at BasBo
    -Sansa at BasBo
    -Vengance for pretty much everyone
    -Jaime being a badass again (finally). There’s one shot where he’s wearing the same Lannister armor Tywin wore in Season 1.
    -Dany being naked again (someone had to point it out)
    -First look at Kinvara or whatever her name was
    -Arya ninja training
    -More hints at Jon’s fate (that opening quote… really, HBO? lol)
    -SO MANY LOOKS AT BASBO (you know what I mean, too lazy for tags)
    -More i don’t even know

  119. Connor,

    She seems to be a bit more covered – or surrounded by shadows. I’m going to investigate my namesake’s shot. Hopefully Bran’s powers haven’t advanced to the point that he no longer needs nourishment – that will ensure Meera sticks around for a little while.

  120. GDK:
    So who is Jorah talking to when he says “I know what happens”?Is it to Daario after a perhaps completed mission to rescue Dany and this is a request for a mercy killing after mission accomplished (shades of Maester Aemon)?Is it to Dany after a rescue and this time being honest up front about something he would hide (his goodbye speech after volunteering for a suicide mission).Or is it perhaps to Tyrion?Maybe he comes in at the last minute to take Tyrion’s place to release the dragons and after showing his arm they clearly both have a shared understanding after seeing the stone men of Valyria.

    I’m guessing he’s saying it to Daario and he means that he knows that Dany has been taken to Vaes Dothrak by the Dothraki because he knows that’s what they do with the Khaleesi when the Khal dies.

  121. Sean C.,

    I didn’t either, but given how secretive the show was about casting and filming this year, it’s not impossible that a few casting calls slipped by us. If Davos and Sansa are going to Bear Island, I think it’s a certainty that we’ll at least meet Lyanna Mormont. They set her up perfectly last year with her “Bear Island knows no King but the King in the North, whose name is Stark!” letter.

    Come to think of it, Davos was in the room when Stannis and Jon discussed that letter, so he would know that the Mormonts are staunchly pro-Stark.

    If he’s looking for a place to shelter with either Sansa (if she goes to the Wall) or Jon after leaving Castle Black, it makes sense he would head there.
  122. Oathbreaker could be referring to

    Jon Snow reading the pink letter and leaving Castle Black and the Night’s Watch to fight him. Breaking his oath… i doubt it but could be true, but wouldnt he be freed from his oath after he is brought back to life?
  123. Matthew The Dragon knight:
    FUCKING BEAST!!!!!
    Bloody Epic, this is a trailer!!!!
    best Game of Thrones trailer to date hands down, Tower of Joy, Jaime Leading the Lannister army, the Freys and tullys are back, The Big battle in the North, Davos with the Northern Army, Arya training/fighting in the house of black and white, the white walkers look creepy as hell, and the three eyed raven and a hooded figure
..
    SEASON 6! Season 6!!! SEASON 6!!!!!
    Winter has Come!!!!!!

    Yep, and no groanworthy Wheel speeches either

  124. Mihnea:
    The WW has a HORN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Really? I thought that was the Night King’s sword or something. But it now looks like a horn more than a sword….hmm….

  125. Truly an epic trailer!!!

    I just don’t see the Jaime-killing-the-Mad-King that some of you are seeing. It’s just shadows on a wall. I mean clearly someone is being killed, but it could be many things. Also, we’ve known about this taking place from the moment we first meet Jaime, what is the purpose six seasons later to actually show it to us?

    Count me in the camp that firmly believes Tormund is talking TO Jon Snow about Mance Rayder.

  126. Sean C.,

    Didn’t the costume designer say that Sansa makes her own clothes? She must have had time to practice in between rallying the North 😛

  127. It’s Christmas Eve and I am 8 years old again! Thank you, Game of Thrones! 13 days has never felt so long and yet soon I will be mourning the end of another season. SO HYPED!!!

  128. This trailer confirms what that person who said they were part of the big battle scene said. Meaning it is likely every single thing they said is true… meaning we know what happens next.

    The Stark & Wildling fighters will get surrounded & slowly pushed in on until they are nearly defeated… and then Sansa shows up with her army and rides down on the Bolton army and defeats them, with Jon.
  129. Shadow Shifter:
    Davos in Winterfell? Was that a Stark sigil I saw in that hall or was that the Mormont sigil?

    Looks like it’s a Bear

    Definitely not the Stark sigil

    Though I suspect that is where Sansa is when she is less bedgraggled

    Makes some sense, between Jon getting Longclaw of Joer Mormont the Lyanna Stark letter and the position of that scene to Jon talking to Sam about being Jon Stark and the Night’s Watch there’s a very strong thematic link between the Starks and House Mormont

    Moreso in the books if we consider Maege Mormont and Robbs will, Catelyns relationship with the Mormont women etc

  130. What does Cersei (?) say right before “Show them what Lannisters are – what we do to our enemies”?

  131. Call me crazy, but that voice saying “Do you like games, little man?” over the scene with Tyrion in the throne room in Meereen sounds like…. Ramsey. What if that line is not about Tyrion. What if it is about…. Rickon. Then that old spoiler from an supposed extra that appeared on Reddit might be true after all. The wall of bodies seems to be true, as does the part about the Wildlings being stuck between the bodies and the Bolton (as seen in trailer).

  132. That was amazing! Can’t wait to see s6!! The only thing I didn’t like was that of course they had to have Arya train with the Waif and not with a certain handsome Lorathi.. Don’t D&D know by now that female viewers would like to see more of him? (yes, I’m also referring to the bath scene we’ve been waiting for for years now) Cruel to cast Tom Wlaschiha and not give him anything to do.

  133. Connor,

    yeah everybody is concerned about who is going to die, etc how big a dragon is, etc WHEN Y’ALL SHOULD BE FUCKING CONCERNED WHY THE NIGHTS KING HAS A MAYBE-HORN-OF-JORAMUND ON HIS BACK
    lol

  134. I was sleeping already when a friend of mine message me that there was a new trailer (its 1:41 am here) damn!! all of my sleepiness was knock off in an instant!! Damn! I haven’t scoured this sea of comment yet… looks like I wont be able to sleep at all..

  135. Dawn:
    Call me crazy, but that voice saying “Do you like games, little man?” over the scene with Tyrion in the throne room in Meereen sounds like

    Please link this

  136. I’m not seeing a horn strapped to the Night’s King back. Looks like his sword to me.

    I do love Jaime’s sense of humor. “They won’t mind.”

    Yes, I see the pile of dead bodies, as reported by the Reddit guy and EW.

    Thorne certainly is prepared to take out Jon’s last loyalists. He’s got archers at the ready. I wonder how Davos will escape that room alive? Perhaps that’s when a certain giant makes an appearance.

    Are we sure it’s a wedding at the Twins? Could just be Lannister and Frey soldiers celebrating breaking the siege at Riverrun.

    And just because we didn’t see any casting notice for Mormont women doesn’t mean we won’t see 1 or 2 at Bear Island. With dozens and dozens or minor roles to fill, it’s entirely possibly some went unnoticed by WotW.

  137. Dawn:
    Then that old spoiler from an supposed extra

    As I said in my own post… there’s no “supposed” extra anymore. That trailer confirms what they said, that no one had said before. So… they were there. No doubt. We now know how the battle goes. We know who is there. We know who wins.

  138. GeekFurious:
    This trailer confirms what that person who said they were part of the big battle scene said. Meaning it is likely every single thing they said is true

    Can you link this please?

  139. Angeala,

    Welcome to the Wall! 🙂
    It’s so fun to be reminded how people from all over the world love this show!

    Regarding the trailer: what’s to be said that hasn’t already been said?
    However, I will throw out a big ol’…

    WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

  140. GeekFurious:
    Dawn:
    Then that old spoiler from an supposed extra

    Do you have the link for what the extra said?

  141. Sean C.: Also, Sansa evidently finds a good embroiderer in addition to a quality furrier on her travels.

    Well, I’d reckon that is the work of the Lady of Winterfell herself. Remember when she made her crow dress in the Eyrie 😉

    Apart from that, I was also wondering about any casting news that could hint at Bear Island. We know from the letter that teh youngest, Lyanna, is the Lady of Bear Island, so that prolly means no Maege or other elder sisters… Hmm.

  142. HOLY SH*T!!! My jaw hit the floor & its going to stay there for a while. Sansa rallying the north!!! Woohoo!! Arya the assassin @1:26 mark! DAMN! Starks are back baby!!!!

  143. I don’t see a horn on the NK and if there was why is it a big deal?

    I missed something there.

    anyway I need to see this on a big screen. my iphone 6s aint gonna cut it.

  144. Vytautas,

    We never saw the Mormont sigil in the show.
    But I think it’s safe to say it’s theirs.

    It’s not a lion, it’s looking like a bear to me. The only difference would be that it’s a yellow background not green like the books. And the bear is standing on 2 feet rather then 4.

  145. I don’t think it’s a horn on Night King’s back, looks like the same ice sword he carries in other scenes.

  146. aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!! Soooooo exciting! This has to be the most excited I have ever been. But I have to go to a meeting. Hopefully when I get back there will be a breakdown of the trailer. I am not going to get a lot of work done today!!!!

    Get hype!!!!

  147. That was one fucking amazing trailer! Tyrion and the dragons! Davos and the Mormonts! My beautiful Jaqen! *sigh* I haven’t been this excited about GoT in ages.

    I hope Arya trains fighting with Jaqen too. I have nothing against Faye, but I really have no interest in seeing the Waif/Arya bitch fights again, especially when Tom Wlaschiha is available. 😉 Seriously though, The Waif’s attitude is so ridiculously OOC for a Faceless Man that it’s dragging the whole Braavos storyline down. I guess I just have to finally accept that the show FM have nothing to do with book canon… *sigh*

  148. Ravyn: Looks like Davos and Sansa are a team this year, which confirms Liam’s quote that she has a great arc this season. I think Queen of the North is CONFIRMED!

    Princess-Regent of the North. Technically Bran is Robbs heir, he is unlikely to come back which means Rickon effectively is, but common sense dictates that “come of age” Sansa rules as Regent until Rickon comes of age

    A lot of people forget that Bran and Rickon became Princes and Sansa and Arya (even though in KL) became Princesses when Robbs KiTN was announced.

    Though I reckon Rickon will get killed somehow tbh. in book and show, splitting Robbs Kingdom in two (North and Riverlands becoming seperate)

    Jojen and Meera still refer to Bran as “my Prince” in the books and ironically don’t know about RW in books yet

  149. Deesensfan,

    In the books there’s a magic horn that if blown, can bring the Wall down. They haven’t mentioned it on the show yet. Not sure if they will.

  150. Dawn:
    Call me crazy, but that voice saying “Do you like games, little man?” over the scene with Tyrion in the throne room in Meereen sounds like
. Ramsey. What if that line is not about Tyrion. What if it is about
. Rickon. Then that old spoiler from an supposed extra that appeared on Reddit might be true after all.

    You’re right. That is definitely Ramsay’s voice! 😼 And there is not really an other option for the “little man” that he is talking to. If you combine it with the knowledge that the Umbers are fighting on the Bolton’s side and the scene of Ramsay cleaning his knife, I’m seriously worried about Rickon now.

  151. Calling it now, the “person” that startles Littlefinger in the woods is

    Lady Stoneheart.
    I mean, who else would visibly shock Littlefinger? He’s always calm, even when his life is threatened (Cersei, Faith Militant…); who else but his lost love!?
  152. BeautyBrienne,

    To be clear. So we won’t scare her with spoilers.

    In the books it’s a MYTH. The horn itself is never seen and many say it doesn’t truly exist.
    Of course many readers suspect it’s real, but nothing is confirmed.

  153. Jay Targ,

    Thanks!

    In #39, ‘Someone attacking Robert Strong?’ looks like a hooded man. It is very unlikely that someone there is taller than the Mountain, but maybe it is our gravedigger standing atop something?

    #52 Lord Puff Fish all puffed up and reminding a bit of Harys Swyft with that feathered helmet.

    #67 the snapshot does not show it, but if you look at the video with full bright settings, you can see Sansa is talking to a man with long face. If Stannis wasn’t dead, he would have been my first guess.

    #72 I think the description in wrong – The front row banner looks like it was Bolton sigil in the flag, then the red flags in the background are Umber flags(black chain on red field).

    #87 Is it just me or the yellow flags look like the Baratheon banners (not Stannis’s, but original Baratheon flags)? The reddish-orange one on lefthand side looks like it could be a Hornwood flag

    #90 The ma strangling Pod definitely looks like Bronn – no other knight will be that dirty

    #93 I think this is Arya. Just a guess

    #97 I really hope Tyrion is standing well away from the range of flames.

  154. Does anyone else think that Richard Brake is still the Night King? It looks more like him than previously. Just changed some minor things to his face. He looks great though and that shot of the Four White Walker on the horses remind me of the 4 horsemen of the apocalypse.

  155. TheKingWhoCares: You’re right. That is definitely Ramsay’s voice! And there is not really an other option for the “little man” that he is talking to. If you combine it with the knowledge that the Umbers are fighting on the Bolton’s side and the scene of Ramsay cleaning his knife, I’m seriously worried about Rickon now.

    That extra was clearly telling us the truth. Rickon is (likely) killed by Ramsay. It’s a done deal. At least Jon kills Ramsay so… it will feel a bit better at the end.
  156. TheKingWhoCares,

    TheKingWhoCares: You’re right. That is definitely Ramsay’s voice! And there is not really an other option for the “little man” that he is talking to. If you combine it with the knowledge that the Umbers are fighting on the Bolton’s side and the scene of Ramsay cleaning his knife, I’m seriously worried about Rickon now.

    This could also be in reference to

    Littlefinger
  157. tkk,

    tkk:
    Is it possible to pass out cause of too much hype, I feel like that’s about to happen D::D

    Exactly what Im feeling right now!!
    Ahhh!! I recently just watch the trailer myself and the last shot almost killed me…

    Some side thoughts though…
    Where are those people now who said they wouldn’t want to see Sansa lead an army because its not so in character for her.. HAH! take that!! the direwolf sigil embroidery alone stole your breath away, you almost forgot how much you hate her back in S1..

  158. Oh man…

    The only thing missing from this trailer is Lyanna Stark’s voice at the end saying “Promise me Ned.”

    Now that would have been a fucking capper for all those in the know!!!

  159. teunteulai,

    i got this screenshot at the final moment before the screen turns black – there’s literally 0.01 seconds of facetime on whoever is behind sansa, even on 0.25 speed it’s hard to grab lmao. I would say Jon – it looks like him in his night watch outfit, maybe with his hair tied up or pulled back or something – but haven’t we seen him in different outfits? I can’t remember what he looks like in the leaked images lol

  160. Who was saying “Do you like games little man?” Also Jamie looks like he means business!

  161. Cannot stop watching it! Forget what I said about the Mountain being kind and gentle now….I think he just ripped that sparrow’s head off. OMG

    and I think Ramsay just took care of his father and Fat Walda…

  162. GeekFurious,

    I didn’t want to believe him because of that part about Wun Wun getting killed by Ramsay, the allies getting beat up and Littlefinger (with Sansa) and the Vale army coming in at 11th hour to crush the remaining Boltons (+Karstarks and Umbers), as well as the Rickon spoiler, but it seems that’s what we may get. Petyr, Sansa and the Valemen ‘saving the day’ has been speculated upon anyway.
    Of course there will be more to the battle than that single paragraph. The ‘extra’ said so himself.
  163. Also, that scene of Dany getting her clothes ripped off. Its going to be hard to watch.
    I cant wait till she f&&ks up whoever did that to her

  164. Does anyone know the name of the actress playing Lyanna?

    I mean I hope she has got those dark Stark features and is amazingly beautiful after all she is GRRM’s Helen of Troy.

  165. Asha,Yara and now Victarion played by the same person,i quite like it.Love her in the show,can’t wait too see Yara in relationship to Euron and what she will plan to do next.
    Also no Dorne in any of the footage,we suspect they will aid a certain someone in the campaign for KL but what ’till then?Something has to happen there.

  166. SimonStark:
    Who was saying “Do you like games little man?” Also Jamie looks like he means business!

    Sounds like Ramsay. Maybe he’s talking to Rickon?

  167. Episode 1 is called The red woman. I expected this to be Melisandre, but now I think it’s all about this new priestess in Mereen, so maybe no resurrection af all 🙁

  168. Jon , Davos and……. Sansa best team for the North !!!!!!!!!!

    Can’t wait ……

    I wonder if the shadow is indeed the “Mad” king and why Jaime think about him…………(Or is Cersei ??????)
    Bye bye Frey’s and Bolton’s the North Remember

  169. Ravyn:
    Thedoor,

    Watch for Sansa and her line “When I think of everything that’s been taken from me”. It’s just footage they took from the Red Wedding.

    Yeah I was thinking this but paused the frame, it looks like there are Lannister soldiers there and layout is different

    Gatehouse Ami/Lannister wedding confirmed!

  170. Oh, my God, it looks like Davos is carrying the torch for Jon now, and is invested in the fight against the White Walkers. Is that Edd one of the guys fighting with him?

    Still no Euron? Weird.

    I’m sorry, but why would the Meereenese ever follow Tyrion? He’s a foreigner who only just stepped foot in their country.

  171. Lyannaes:
    teunteulai,

    i got this screenshot at the final moment before the screen turns black – there’s literally 0.01 seconds of facetime on whoever is behind sansa, even on 0.25 speed it’s hard to grab lmao. I would say Jon – it looks like him in his night watch outfit, maybe with his hair tied up or pulled back or something – but haven’t we seen him in different outfits? I can’t remember what he looks like in the leaked images lol

    It doesn’t look like Jon to me but it does look like a Night’s Watchman. Which is confusing because not even Edd would break his vows for Jon and his family. I don’t think. Either way, that guy behind Sansa isn’t dressed like the other guy behind her.

    In the leaked photo, Jon isn’t dressed in black. He’s wearing brown and greenish garb like Ned did in season 1.
  172. Nymeria,

    It doesn’t have to be about one Red Priestess only.
    It’s basically confirmed Melisandre has a big role in episode 1 so she definitely warrants a title.

  173. Nymeria:
    Episode 1 is called The red woman. I expected this to be Melisandre, but now I think it’s all about this new priestess in Mereen, so maybe no resurrection af all

    You are not going to jump right to a resurrection after less than an episode of the character being dead. That would make the whole thing pointless. We have to first make characters WORK to make it happen. It has to be difficult. It has to hurt… the audience has to wonder if it is even possible.

  174. So, we completely overlooked the Mormont women, somehow. Wow. There is no doubt that is the Mormont bear. Wow, really.
    I don’t know what’s my hype anymore. ToJ (probably)? Jaime killing Aerys? The Mormont women? The Others doing stuff? Bran’s arc?
    I am also very curious about Jorah’s fate. If he goes the Connington way, he will see Westeros again. And if the Mormont women arise, that is gonna be interesting 🙂

  175. Ravyn:
    Thedoor,

    Watch for Sansa and her line “When I think of everything that’s been taken from me”. It’s just footage they took from the Red Wedding.

    No, it is definitely new footage… new seating arrangements in the room and at the main table (WF’s wife was seating next to him at the Red Wedding – RIP, poor girl).

  176. So what’s going on with Theon around 0:50? Wired thinks the woman he’s with is Margaery, and while I can see why they think that, it wouldn’t make a whole lot of sense in plot terms.

  177. Connor,
    Rickon is a kid. I’m not sure I would call him “little man”.

    Firannion,
    And I want Bishop Waleran and William Hamleigh to step forward for the task 🙂

  178. Connor:
    Could this be Arthur Dayne? or is it one of the other Targ kings guard?

    http://i.imgur.com/WKsF4Tw.jpg

    This may sound odd but unfortunate that it was cloudy, as like most people we always imagine it to be quite Sunny during that scene

    Not to mention the fact it looks Sunny in the previous trailer with the double-sword twirling yet it is overcast in this shot…

  179. Sergei Walankov:
    So what’s going on with Theon around 0:50? Wired thinks the woman he’s with is Margaery, and while I can see why they think that, it wouldn’t make a whole lot of sense in plot terms.

    That ain’t Theon. It’s Loras.

  180. Moonlight,

    That’s Euron on the rope bridge taking his hood down. I’m looking forward to some Euron crazy this season. Kind of glad they are saving that for us.

  181. Connor: Sounds like Ramsay. Maybe he’s talking to Rickon?

    OMG. Initially, I thought that was Varys being condescending to Tyrion. Which doesn’t make sense, so then I thought it was one of the Great Masters saying it. But now, holy crap, it does indeed sound like Ramsay.

    Oh Gods, not Rickon, please.
  182. Sergei Walankov: So what’s going on with Theon around 0:50? Wired thinks the woman he’s with is Margaery, and while I can see why they think that, it wouldn’t make a whole lot of sense in plot terms.

    It’s Loras, not Theon!

  183. Moonlight:

    I’m sorry, but why would the Meereenese ever follow Tyrion? He’s a foreigner who only just stepped foot in their country.

    IKR?

    Also I’m pretty sure I saw Euron on the bridge.

  184. aabe,

    could the bloke Sansa is talking to be Smalljon Umber? He’s dead in the books but alive in the show? Although, I think Umber men were seen with the Boltons in previous trailers, so maybe not …..

  185. Flayed Potatoes,

    Didn’t Daario made this clear enough last season?
    He will rule togheter with Missandei, someone the people have always seen close to Dany and GW the commander of the unsullied.
    Most likely the people won’t even see Tyrion. But Missandei will be the ”face”.

  186. I know we’ve seen it before, but, wow, I sure am loving the 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse imagery!

  187. Ser Low-Res,

    You’re probably right but I don’t know why everybody uses this as proof since they look different in the trailer and the behind the scenes video..?

  188. phantomstrife,

    Perhaps, but I don’t recall Mance leading his men in an epic battle against the army of the dead and slaying a White Walker with his magic sword 😛

  189. Ah, okay, I see the Euron’s scene now. But yeah, I hope he’s totally wild and crazy. I loved the Greyjoy craziness in the books, and hope to see it in the show now too.

  190. My only complaint is St. Tyrion being King of Meereen…like…HOW??! And Emilia Clarke is a wooden actress it’s not enough she’s got less screentime… can we just cut everything going on in the East??? It REALLY no longer belongs in the show, since the show does not want to (or cannot) give it the justice, scale, and time it needs for the story there to breathe.

    It’s become a pus on the show, at this point.

  191. Loras does make a lot more sense. He’s looking remarkably Theon-ish though, but I guess most people do if you lock them in a dungeon long enough.

  192. phantomstrife:
    I like that split-second shot of Bloodraven observing Tower of Joy flashback.

    Yeah this will be kind of weird

    On the one hand there would be Bran seeing his Father etc, but at the same time there would be Brynden Rivers seeing the end of the Targaryen dynasty which must be hard for him to watch, as former hand n’ all

    Hopefully they do BR’s backstory and give his epicness the respect it deserves

  193. BunBunStark,

    Yeah, I can’t quite understand it. My mind jumped to Jon because I’m a slut for Stark reunion/domination and because of the outfit. The only other bloke I can think of that would wear all black who isn’t in the NW is Petyr, but it doesn’t look like him to me …. but yeah, this might just be one of those things where we’ll have to wait and see.

  194. Tywin of the Hill: Rickon is a kid. I’m not sure I would call him “little man”.

    Nevermind who’s talking, but where I come from boys are often called “little man” as a term of endearment…

  195. Connor,

    To me, and I could be wayyy off, it looks like two different actors playing the NK. One looks like Richard Brake (who is just perfect!), but the other guy’s eyes seem rather close together. We know so little about them. Has there only been one NK? Are we seeing flashbacks to a different time and different king? I’ll be glad to finally get some answers!

  196. phantomstrife,

    Why don’t you ant to believe that Sansa, Vale and Littlefinger will save them. They’re outnumbered and Karstarks, Umbers and Boltons who are strongest houses are against them. Wildlings are few thousand and some Northern fighters not much. Sansa deserves her victory after so many seasons. It makes perfect sense.
  197. Unreal!!! Best trailer ever!!

    Thoughts and questions…

    If you look at he still of the shadow murder / sword through the back you can also see the shadow of the Iron Throne. Definitely a flashback to Jamie’s Kingslayer moment.

    How can Pod be at both the Lannister Camp and the Tully camp? Is he being kidnapped and taken from one to the other (although I do hope it’s just Bron, being friendly…)? Presumably Brienne’s loyalty here is to Jamie and the Lannisters…

    Yara in Volantis. Definitely seems to me that she’s taken Victarion’s role in the show.

    Who is Theon crying to? They have long hair (so not Yara), could be Sansa (but it’s far more dishevelled than we usually see her).

    Mance Rayder never wanted to lead an army, he wanted to lead the people to safety. I believe Thormund is talking about Jon, when he hears of his death.

    The rider with the flaming chain and Meera in the background – is the consensus that Bran is with her? Are they fleeing (like in the VFX featurette) after the tree is burned down? And if so, where’s Hodor when they’re being attacked by a wight / saved by the dark rider? Oh no!!!

    Love Mace’s feathers too!!! Honestly don’t know how I’m going to wait three weeks.

  198. GeekFurious,

    I’ve been heavily in the no resurrection until after episode 1 camp, if for no other reason than the writers/producers knowing that they would have a red carpet premiere two weeks before the actual public premiere date.

    However, I could see them having a big resurrection twist at the very end of E1 before it rolls to credits, once they’ve properly beaten the viewers down with images of his lifeless corpse all off season and throughout that episode. Smart money is still on eps 2 or 3, but I wouldn’t be shocked if they do it in E1 now.

  199. No other dead character has gotten this much buzz and facetime in promo campaign as Jon. They are really not being subtle.

  200. Moonlight:
    Ah, okay, I see the Euron’s scene now. But yeah, I hope he’s totally wild and crazy. I loved the Greyjoy craziness in the books, and hope to see it in the show now too.

    Euron scene is same from Trailer 1 isn’t it?

  201. I am curious about the bloody hand brushing against the wall at 1:45. At first I thought it was Arya, but perhaps some aren’t so far off that it may be Lyanna Stark?

    I didn’t think I could love Davos Seaworth anymore than I already do, but seeing him take up the cause of the Starks and riding along side Stark bannermen has taken my love for him threw the roof. I will be devastated if he dies. His death would gut me as much as that of a direwolf or a dragon. And those animals are at the top of my ‘Do not harm’ list.

  202. Maggie,

    Yes pls. The videos used to be closed captioned but I don’t see the setting on this video.

    That being said, what I did hear and see was so exciting! Oh my gawd this is going to be amazing!!!!!! And its just the first episode? Holy shit

  203. that is SO a horn NK has on his back at that shot with 4 horsemen, watch that scene in fullscreen and you will see it

  204. Zombies That Were Promised,

    You do realize there are people who are exited for Dany’s story? Just as there are people who like Emilia’s acting? And as a book reader, who read the books 6 times I think they do it justice, in some instances more then the last 2 books themselves.

    Just because you don’t like that part of the story doesn’t mean others shouldn’t like it or are not exited for it. So why not just ignore what you don’t like and focus on what you do?
    I’m not exited at all for Jaime’s story in the riverlands, at all. I hoped it was cut.
    But I know there are people who like it, so you don’t see me yelling they should cut it.

  205. Ghosts Lunch: This may sound odd but unfortunate that it was cloudy, as like most people we always imagine it to be quite Sunny during that scene

    Not to mention the fact it looks Sunny in the previous trailer with the double-sword twirling yet it is overcast in this shot


    That bit is strange.

  206. So, in case some of what was in that spoiler/leak post people have mentioned is, in fact, accurate, would those discussing it please take a moment and denote that’s what they’re discussing under spoiler coding, please?

    I’m sure I’m not the only book-reader who uncovers spoilers, then is dismayed to discover what is under the coding is not a book spoiler, but potential spoilers from the season.

    Thanks.

  207. Moonlight:
    Ah, okay, I see the Euron’s scene now. But yeah, I hope he’s totally wild and crazy. I loved the Greyjoy craziness in the books, and hope to see it in the show now too.

    The casting call for Euron went like this:”“an infamous pirate who has terrorized seas all around the world. Cunning, ruthless, with a touch of madness.”Sounds good.Combined with the fact that the great actor that plays him said that there’s no one like Euron Greyjoy sounds even better.Also I always loved the cinematography and music in Iron Island and Theon scenes in the show.So I couldn’t be more excited about Euron coming to the show.

  208. “Dragons do not do well in captivity”. Well Tyrion oughta know, from personal experience! 🙂

  209. Maybe that’s not a flashback to Tower of Joy, but instead a flashback to the Battle of the Trident, where overcast weather is more common.

    Just speculation there. I have no special knowledge either way.

  210. Mihnea,

    I am pretty much Dany’s #1 fan and this is the opinion that I now have after I’ve seen it all and I stand by it. It’s distracting from the rest of the show.

  211. TormundsWoman,

    I think it’s a bear of the Mormonts. It would make sense for Davos to go there, and Sansa also has a scene in that same hall in the previous trailer.

  212. Deesensfan:
    Also, I was hoping for some Dorne action!!!!

    I quite like the mistery,no Dorne footage so far,hard to tell what will happen there.

  213. Zombies That Were Promised,

    Dany’s one of my fav characters, and I prefer her show version to the book. I’m excited for her stuff this season. Then again, I prefer the show in many regards. I think I stopped reading around halfway through Dance of Dragons.

  214. I’m confused about the Red Priestess in Meereen. On IMDB Melanie Liburd is cast as High Priestess Kinvara, but that was clearly Ania Bukstein walking away from Varys and Tyrion. I wonder If there will be more than one new Red Priestess or if there was a change in casting.

  215. Mihnea:
    Deesensfan,

    I know the general opinion around here.
    But, wierdly, I’m looking foward to Dorne!

    I’m a Dorne supporter myself. Surprised we haven’t seen a single clip of them.

  216. Mihnea:
    Flayed Potatoes,

    Didn’t Daario made this clear enough last season?
    He will rule togheter with Missandei, someone the people have always seen close to Dany and GW the commander of the unsullied.
    Most likely the people won’t even see Tyrion. But Missandei will be the ”face”.

    They’re seeing him just fine in the footage we got with him, GW and Missandei going down the stairs.

  217. Deesensfan,

    I really don’t want to spoil this for you but

    Jon is leading the army against the Boltons in episode 9 a UK news paper published leaked photos of it
  218. Anyone else a bit bummed out with the Umbers fighting for the Boltons? (If speculation is correct anyway). Seems a shame after them declaring for Robb in Season 2 and then doing a full 180, even more of a letdown if they give the Boltons the heir the north too, always assumed they were an honourable house.

    I can’t wait the next 2 weeks, it’s going to be torture!

  219. Mihnea:
    Deesensfan,

    I know the general opinion around here.
    But, wierdly, I’m looking foward to Dorne!

    There needs to be at least one Alexander S. scene on the show this season. Hubba, hubba.

  220. Great Trailer!! Don’t know if anyone has said this yet, but it looks like Pod is grabbed around the neck by Bronn and not someone trying to do him in.

  221. Jack Bauer 24,

    Witch is good. I liked that the show didn’t try to make some big new story out of Dorne. But instead made into a side-story for Jaime.
    Martin tried to turn it into a new major story with new lead characters, but fell flat on his face.

    The smaller Dorne’s scope is and the more tied it is with a major story, the better.

  222. Moka,

    But I think, it’s their way of telling us he’s the second head, he’ll live or it be the biggest shock ever.

  223. steffan,

    I disagree. I’ve watched it on full screen and paused it. I think it’s some kind of ice scythe. I really don’t know the word for that weapon, but if you pause it on the close up, you can see it’s a blade made of ice.

  224. LenaMCH:
    I’m confused about the Red Priestess in Meereen. On IMDB Melanie Liburd is cast as High Priestess Kinvara, but that was clearly Ania Bukstein walking away from Varys and Tyrion. I wonder If there will be more than one new Red Priestess or if there was a change in casting.

    Liburd posted an article on her Instagram the other day about “new faces in Season 6”, so she’s definitely in this season.

  225. Mihnea,

    It’s not whether I like or do not like the story, I am saying it does not belong within the confines of the narrative. It could be its own spinoff at this point and nothing of value to the Game of Thrones world would be lost.

    It’s always been the problem of Dany’s story, to be honest, but it’s really becoming more and more obvious after season 4, 5, now 6.

  226. Just 13 more days, guys!!! I am pumped for more White Walker scenes, Bran’s return and Max von Sydow as the Bloodraven and the visions! The Tower of Joy vision will be great, possibly revealing Jon’s parentage, after seeing that shot of Bloodraven at the ToJ scene pretty much confirms that he and Bran will be walking around in the vision.

    Drogon flying over Dothraki looking bigger (months may have passed) The Battle of the Bastards! That reddit post about the battle seem to be true so far. Here’s hoping Rickon doesn’t die and if Wun Wun does die, i hope it isn’t with one arrow to the eye, that would be bullshit. The pile of bodies are seen also.

    In the shot of Sansa at the :40 mark, it looks like Jon Snow on the right…could be before he got his Stark armor or someone else.

    SO MUCH GOOD SHEEEIT! SO MUCH TO TAKE IN AND TALK ABOUT.

    THE SPECULATION!!!!!!!

    GET FUCKING HYPE!!!!!!!

    Im calm now.

  227. Sansa Looks Badass like sophie promised ..i still cant picture sansa leading armies but have to wait and see ..

    Drogon and euron shot are crazy..

    that Shot of Sydow as Bloodraven must be seeing the fall of his house House Targaryen .

    i think they are trying to keep dany’s later arc in the season not spoiled ..hope she comes back big..

    Jamie is back as kingslayer.. arya ,bran and WW

    i cant wait to see the trailer in a big screen once home

  228. steffan,

    It definitely looks like one. The ice sword doesn’t have the straps the supposed “horn”does. But still, it’s hard to tell from the trailer alone.

  229. phantomstrife,

    hahaha I know. but I wanna be involved 🙁
    these articles are not made for spoiler only discussion. So technically all spoiler talk should be covered.

    I have to say I have become pretty good at spotting a spoiler comment and scrolling past many of them

  230. Mihnea,

    Not to mention, it is utterly absurd, imo, to suggest an entire storyline be cut, not to mention one of the main storylines, just because someone doesn’t think they’re doing it justice or allowing it to breathe. We’re talking about Meereen here. I think one of the best decisions they’ve made is to streamline that part of the story. Ah well, I guess some folks really wanted to see

    Dany shitting all over the Dothraki Sea, Tyrion and Dany coming close to meeting, but not actually meeting, yet,

    and other aspects of the Meerreen storyline dragging on for-fucking-ever, yet never seeming to really go anywhere. Ah well, to each their own.

  231. I’m guessing the episode “Home” could reffer to Dany back to Vaes Dohtrak, as seen in that Reuters video?

  232. phantomstrife,

    hahaha I know. but I wanna be involved 🙁
    these articles are not made for spoiler only discussion. So technically all spoiler talk should be covered.

    I have to say I have become pretty good at spotting a spoiler comment and scrolling past many of them

  233. I think the banner with the black symbol on red among the wildlingstarkmormont army is House Hornwoods elkhead on red.

  234. Jack Bauer 24:
    Why is the weather different in the ToJ scenes?

    Maybe they were fighting for a long time and the weather changed.

    Or there’s some supernatural phenomena going on at some point.

  235. Zombies That Were Promised,

    LOl at no 1 fan who wants to cut whole story arc

    Zombies That Were Promised:
    Mihnea,

    It’s not whether I like or do not like the story, I am saying it does not belong within the confines of the narrative.It could be its own spinoff at this point and nothing of value to the Game of Thrones world would be lost.

    It’s always been the problem of Dany’s story, to be honest, but it’s really becoming more and more obvious after season 4, 5, now 6.

    for you it maybe ..

    we have dany and tyrion two of five main characters in place and stories of Dorne ,Iron islands and KL and Essos and ultimately WWs all revolve around Dany ..

    if you do not like it feel free to skip it ..no one forced to you to watch

  236. I don’t know if this was mentioned yet but… is that Rhaegal on the right side when we see the Meereen pyramid?

  237. Deesensfan,

    Just please be careful!!!
    Don’t uncover anything under spoiler code, no matter what, and if you read something and it starts to sound a bit unfamiliar, just move on to the next post.
    It would be a shame for you to get spoiled with only 13 days left.

  238. A Faceless Man,

    if it’s arthur dayne, why isn’t he in white?
    Christopher Lennon,

    OMG Karen! You can’t just ASK legendary knights on a flashback why they’re not in white!!

  239. Saga:
    1:07 is that Jamie killing the Mad King?? I’m not sure tho


    Maybe. I cans see the silhouette of a crown and Jaimie did stab him in the back.

  240. dragonbringer,

    I don’t post often, but yes, when I do, it’s usually about Daenerys.. I am a huge fan. But I will drop it since clearly I am getting told “For you” repeatedly, as though I have to be reminded it’s my own opinion, which I am entitled to??

    This place is as bad as ASOIAF…I am watching because I care. Good Lord.

  241. Nymeria Warrior Queen,

    i always hate that how one of the best chapters in the series is remembered for that particular scene ..

    Kargaryen,

    i was going to say that ..

    which means dany will be taken Vaes dothrak in episode 2 and we know what happens at the end of episode 4 ..the shot we saw in spain promo maybe in episode 3

  242. Jack Snow:
    TheKingWhoCares,

    I think it is the Vale soldiers who save the day at the bastard bowl

    Haven’t read any spoilers, but this would make some sense, the Stark army was largely decimated at the twins so is bascially non-existent

    They could get a small Army of conscripts together but it would lack Professionalism and Discipline given Ser Rodrick is dead etc

    They would have some loyal bannerman but they would be on the periphery, eg smaller Houses like Mormonts and Cerwyns

    The big Wild Card is if the Vale does indeed intervene as the Balance of power force (they’d have to get through Moat Cailin of course)

    In the Books Sweetrobin adores Sansa and I suspect he backs her as she retakes the Riverlands and Twins from the Lannisters/Freys but doesen’t go north (think her arc revolves around Harrenhall), and obviously in the show he would back his cousin/s, so it would be hard for LF to persuade him to go against her or Bran/Rickon etc (or the Vale Lords who know she is Sansa), what LF does influence is WHEN they attack

    In the show Sansa could end up re-taking the RL back in S7 with the Vale Army, taking her back to Harrenhall which balances out this substitute role as fArya

  243. ZOMG! ZOMG! Just watched it once so far, and DROGON!! Humongous and glorious! 😀

    So it looks like the Reddit poster who said he was extra for the Winterfell battle was legit. Now, IIRC, he said that the end is very dire until SANSA, LF and Vale forces come and save the day. So if that is correct, what is Sansa’s journey? I read all the comments about how she may end up in Bear Island – which would be AWESOME – but then how does she get back to meet up with LF and bring Vale forces up north? Does she go from Bear Is. to the Vale?

    This is one of the awesomest trailers EVER! 😀

  244. well, will someone please make a frame to frame analysis because I always miss 50% of trailers???(and I have already seen this one 4 times). Please?????

  245. Sarah Stark,

    The hair on the person in the shot of Theon crying is shoulder length and the same colour as Yara’s. I’m 99 % certain that’s Yara.

  246. Two other things I noticed:

    – The chandelier behind the Onion Knight appears to be the same one Sansa is standing near in the first trailer.

    – A man tells Arya that she is getting a second chance, but she will not get a third chance. This suggests to me that the wolf will return this season. Otherwise, what is the point of this line?

  247. Mihnea,

    I try very hard not to be rude or dismissive (although, admittedly, I don’t always succeed), but when I see someone referring to Tyrion as “St. Tyrion,” my first thought is, “ah, someone from the ranting and raving threads.” That tells me all I need to know about what I’m about to read.

  248. Tori Targaryen,
    Holy Shit ! The shadow seems to be wearing a crown and someone stab him in the back… All after cersei says: show them what Lannisters are, and “WHAT WE DO TO OURS ENEMIES”
    Could it be?!!!

  249. phantomstrife,

    Thanks! I’ve read that this redditor also said stuff about Yara going to Volantis and other assorted spoilers, i don’t suppose you happen to have links to this stuff too? Either way thanks!

  250. Zombies That Were Promised:
    dragonbringer,

    This place is as bad as ASOIAF
I am watching because I care. Good Lord.

    that is what we are also saying that there are people out there who care to watch dany’s story and meereen ..so you cant ask to cut an entire arc of one of the main protagonists because there are people that care and look forward to it.

  251. MeeraReed:
    Two other things I noticed:

    I hope Arya comes to her senses and gets the fuck outta there!

  252. Nymeria Warrior Queen,

    Thank you Queen Nym! Ill make sure of that. I never read tagged stuff and skim through posts pretty well these days. 🙂
    I usually read comments of people who post and chat here a lot and usually are pretty good at tagging stuff.

    Its hard when a trailer like this gets released to not discuss it with all of you.

    My sister has avoided the trailers and I cant even discuss with her. I managed to convince her to watch the March Madness teaser and she went bananas. I was like girrrrrrrrrrrll if you watch these trailers youre gonna die! hahaha

  253. Nymeria Warrior Queen,

    Exactly. I didn’t want to reply at all.
    But I just wanted to remind him and others that there are book-readers who completely love the show.

    And I really like Emilia, and get a bit mad when people just outright insult her…..

  254. Sou,

    At the bottom-right of the youtube player, you’ll see a round and…spikey kind of symbol. Click on that, scroll down to speed, click on that, and you’ll see where you can watch it at 1/2 or 1/4 speed. That’s what I always do, at least as I wait for The Wondrous Abyss, Grand Maester of Gifs.

    Oooo, on that note:

    O wondrous Abyss…
    Grand Maester of Gifs…

    I summon thee…
    I summon thee…
    I summon thee…

    (it worked, last time 🙂 )

  255. Connor,

    They definitely look different and in the trailer there’s something black on it too which doesn’t appear on the other clip.

  256. Mihnea,

    there is one other post i want to reply to but i try not to..while i enjoy watching this trailer i know someone would have made a comment about certain speech from old trailer and i was not disappointed in that..

    i love Emilia Too ..

  257. Kay,

    My pet theory is that at we’ll see Sansa/Jon/Davos gathering Northerners and Wildlings for much of the season. Toward the end, they’ll get word that Valemen have been sighted landing somewhere, and Sansa will go to try and find them and bring them to the battle.

    That tallies with the spoilers of Sansa arriving with the Vale army, and it would give her something notable to do in episode 9, since she’s not a soldier and can’t fight.

  258. Saga:
    1:07 is that Jamie killing the Mad King?? I’m not sure tho


    My first thought was Jaime killing Robert Strong, but then again, I realized Robert Strong’s armor wouldn’t allow for Jaime to stab him like that.

    Someone else said Pycelle, but I don’t buy that, either – so I think you may be correct. It may be the Mad King.

  259. Isn’t the acting troupe that’s been talked about supposed to be acting out all that’s happened in King’s Landing? Perhaps the shadow killing of the mad king is that and not some flashback?

    Sou,

    At the bottom-right of the youtube player, you’ll see a round and
spikey kind of symbol.Click on that, scroll down to speed, click on that, and you’ll see where you can watch it at 1/2 or 1/4 speed.That’s what I always do, at least as I wait for The Wondrous Abyss, Grand Maester of Gifs.

    Oooo, on that note:

    O wondrous Abyss

    Grand Maester of Gifs


    I summon thee

    I summon thee

    I summon thee


    (it worked, last time )

    LOL, she posted upthread she is on it.

  261. ….Sound getting closer like a human police siren: Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa *runs into the middle of the Wall from stage left, flailing arms like Kermit the Frog on speed, screams

    MACE TYRELL’S

    HELMET IS THE GREATEST!! runs off the opposite side* Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa sound disappears into the distance…..

  262. It looks to me that Edie Eyre is playing Arthur Dayne and not Ned…The Targ guard does nÂŽt look like Luke Roberts to me…we will have to wait and see…This trailer is even better than the first!!! 🙂

  263. In-depth breakdown:

    0:00 New look at Castle Black conflict. Looks like the mutineers have Crossbows ready after all. Followed by an old shot of Davos and Jon’s loyalists preparing to fight (same shot as in the clip released on Conan)

    0:04 New shot of Jon’s body. A figure that looks like Davos can be seen moving in the background. Possibly from the “Apologies” scene, or perhaps from the talk Melisandre and Davos are having in the opening scene.

    0:07 New shot of Tormund and the Wildlings. Tormund says: “I thought he was the one to lead us through the Long Night. I was wrong.” He is most likely referring to Jon here, although I have heard it said that he is talking about Mance.

    0:08 New shot of the Great Pyramid in Meereen

    0:11 Tyrion descending the stairs to meet several Meereenese noblemen. Someone threatens Tyrion, though I can’t really make out the words. “Should I ____ this little man?” Gang? Gag? Hang?

    0:14 New look at Jaime confronting the High Sparrow. Jaime looks like he is ready to kick ass. High Sparrow says: “You would spill blood in this holy place?”, suggesting that the scene takes place within the Sept of Baelor. Jaime replies “The Gods won’t mind. There has been more blood than the rest of us combined.”

    0:18 Melisandre at Castle Black. The smoke suggests that this might be Jon’s funeral (remember the still of Davos looking at something smoking? Same scene most likely).

    0:20 Old shot of Dany touching that fire thingy.

    0:21 New shot of Drogon’s shadow, followed by a longer version of the old shot from the March Madness promo.

    0:24 Bran warging or greenseeing in the Three Eyed Raven’s cave.

    0:28 Old shot of the Waif hitting Arya with a stick. Jaqen asks “Who are you?” Arya replies “No one.” Her voice sounds desperate, weak. This truly is going to be a dark season for her.

    0:30 Dany being stripped naked by Dothraki handmaidens in a tent. A male figure is standing in front of her in one of the shots. Somehow I feel like we won’t get much more nudity here than an ass crack, if anything (I don’t really mind tbh).

    0:32 Jaqen cutting off a face.

    0:35 Arya in the House of Black & White, Jaqen in the background. Notice her white eyes, I doubt she is warging while standing there. This perhaps debunks the idea that the old shot of her with white eyes was her warging. Her eyes are probably just badly infected.

    0:36 Jaqen warns: “A girl has been given a second chance. There will not be a third.”

    0:39 Sansa in fancy noble clothes. The background suggests that she is present at the Battle of the Bastards, as rumored.

    0:40 Ramsay sharpening a knife.

    0:41 Sansa in a dark room with a fireplace. She says: “It’s all I think about. What was taken from me.”

    0:42 Walder Frey in his hall, drinking with Lannister soldiers.

    0:43 Littlefinger in the snowy place where we saw him in before. The second shot is from the first trailer, though this time it lasts longer revealing a person walking towards him.

    0:46 Jorah says “I know what happened.” as we see him inspecting his infected arm. That looks real bad. Just chop it off already 🙁

    0:48 Loras and Margaery in a cell. Looks like they’re in the same one after all, or perhaps one is allowed to visit another. They desperately hug.

    0:52 Davos on Horseback, presumably at the Battle of the Bastards. He looks fearful, yet furious. He says “There is no hiding from this. We have to fight.”

    0:53 A wide shot of the large Battlefield, revealing that there are actually six burning crosses, rather than the reported two.

    0:54 Varys and Tyrion meeting Kinvara.

    0:56 Beautiful shot of Pyke in the storm, followed by an extended shot of Euron taking off his hood.

    0;58 Jaime galloping through his Lannister camp. The whole scene has a similar vibe to Tywin’s season 1 scenes. Jaime has always secretly been my favorite, and I can’t wait to see him stepping up his game, taking charge, becoming more and more like his father. Cersei says “Stand at the head of our army, where you belong.”

    1:00 New look at the Tower of Joy sequence. We see the dual wielding Kingsguard slaying one of the Stark soldiers.

    1:01 Cersei comforting Tommen, as her speech continues. “Show them what Lannisters are, what we do to our enemies.”

    1:04 High Sparrow praying at his altar, followed by a shot of someone quickly walking towards him. Notice the two sparrows guarding him while he’s praying.

    1:07 The shadows of one person stabbing another with a sword, or at least attempting to. The shadow on the right looks like it could belong to Robert Strong, in which case the thrust is most likely a miss.

    1:08 Robert Strong suddenly turning his head towards what appears to be Jaime. Jaime backs off in shock (though I am open to the possibility that the person he scares is actually Tommen, though the hair suggests it’s Jaime).

    1:09 Yara and an Ironborn warrior standing on the shores of the Iron Islands. Witnessing Euron’s arrival, or perhaps discovering the body of her “beloved” father?

    1:10 Jaime and Mace leading Tyrell soldiers to the Sept of Baelor, followed by an old shot (mirrored, apparently) of the soldiers getting ready for conflict.

    1:12 New shot of the four horsemen of the apocalypse. The Night’s King looks at someone. I can’t help but notice how he looks exactly like he did at Hardhome, as opposed his appearance in first trailer.

    1:17 Davos says: “The real war is between the living and the dead. And make no mistake; the dead are coming.”

    1:19 Old shot of mysterious rider using a burning flail to knock down a wight.

    1:20 Old shot of the Night’s King walking towards the flames, followed by a new shot of him and the other three walkers walking towards the same flames. What’s intriguing about this second shot is the background. When paused, it just looks like falling snow, but when you play the clip, the snow isn’t moving. Could that be the Wall, or what’s left of it?

    1:21 Old shot of the ships in the storm, though the lighting and CGI sure has improved, revealing that it’s actually one large ship. If that’s an Ironborn ship, then I think it’s safe to say that they thankfully won’t be receiving the Dorne treatment this season.

    1:22 Sam and Gilly, the wet hair suggests that the ship we saw in the previous shot might actually be the one they’re on, since the weather conditions are the same.

    Followed by a new shot of Yara making out with a whore.

    Followed by a shot of Bloodraven at what appears to be the Tower of Joy.

    1:24 Epic shot of Tormund Boltonsbane unsheathing his sword at the Battle of the Bastards.

    Followed by old shot of horses charging into Battle.

    1:25 Sansa in the dark room again, scared of something. The outfit and hair are the same as from that one closeup we got in the first trailer.

    Followed by a series of shots that show Arya training with the Waif.

    1:27 Old shot of Bolton archers, followed by old shot of Ramsay at the head of his army, followed by more old shots of the Bolton archers firing their arrows.

    1:29 Bolton cavalry charging into Battle. The last frame shows them clashing with the opposing cavalry.

    Followed by old shot of Cersei and Jaime making out.

    1:30 Sons of the Harpy after killing a bunch of dudes outside of Meereen. The way one of them turns around and looks up suggests that this won’t last long.

    Followed by old shot of Theon conversing with (presumably) Yara.

    Followed by new shot of Brienne and Podrick at Riverrun (notice the Tully sigil in the background)

    1:31 Robert Strong messing up a Sparrow.

    1:32 Beautiful shot of a massive Drogon flying sky high. Dat neck doe.

    1:34 Tyrion, Varys, Grey Worm and Missandei in Dany’s palace. Tyrion says: “Dragon’s do not do well in captivity.” Missandei asks: “How do you know this?” Tyrion jokingly replies: “That’s what I do. I drink, and I know things.”

    1:41 Beautiful new shot of the Bolton shieldwall, followed by an old shot of the same scenario.

    1:42 Tormund and his wildlings, ready for Battle.

    1:43 Podrick at the Lannister camp, getting choked by someone from behind. Filming leaks suggest that this is Bronn pulling a prank on him.

    1:44 Old shot of Wun Wun bursting through the southern gate at Castle Black.

    Followed by new shot of Meera looking up at something in horror.

    1:45 Someone dragging a bleeding hand across the wall. I must note that this is a very artistic choice of footage to place just before the title.

    1:49 Old shot of Tyrion in the dragonpit, followed by two new shots of the two captive dragons growling at him. One of them shoots a blast of flame at him. I must say, that final shot really reminded me of Smaug in “The Hobbit”. HBO has once again upped their CGI game.

    Let me know if there is anything I missed.

  264. Just imagine this team after winning at Winterfell:

    Jon, Davos, Sansa, Littlefinger, Melisandre, Tormund

    Ohh boy.

  265. Alex G:
    It looks to me that Edie Eyre is playing Arthur Dayne and not Ned
The Targ guard does n®t look like Luke Roberts to me
we will have to wait and see
This trailer is even better than the first!!!

    Who’s Luke playing then?

  266. Mihnea:
    Zombies That Were Promised,

    You do realize there are people who are exited for Dany’s story? Just as there are people who like Emilia’s acting? And as a book reader, who read the books 6 times I think they do it justice, in some instances more then the last 2 books themselves.

    Just because you don’t like that part of the story doesn’t mean others shouldn’t like it or are not exited for it. So why not just ignore what you don’t like and focus on what you do?
    I’m not exited at all for Jaime’s story in the riverlands, at all. I hoped it was cut.
    But I know there are people who like it, so you don’t see me yelling they should cut it.

    Emilia’s acting was great season 1, it is wooden but personally I think that is the point thematically, Dany is putting on a Queen persona that doesen’t fit her and acting how she thinks she is meant to be acting as a Queen but it isn’t Dany, but people are blaming Emilia Clarkes acting

    I reckon this season and equivalent point in the books, she (Dany) goes Fire+Blood and stops trying to be a try-hard or politician, and Emilia’s “wooden” acting performances will magically go away. Can see her just burning Mereen to the ground tbh and I’m looking forward to the change in Dany as someone who found her Slavers Bay arc and this Mhysa thing a little annoying at times

    As for Jaimie, a lot of whingeing but it is now making sense, last year was a downfall for Lannisters, eg Cersei against FM in KL and Jaimie in Dorne and failing to rescue Myrcella. This season will see them rise up again a little, eg Cersei claws back some credibility via Ser Robert Strong and Jaimie re-asserts some Lannister prestige by taking RR off Blackfish but towards the end there will be developments, eg Jaimie going off Cersei + I suspect Tommen will get killed at seasons end (along with Rickon and Davos and Loras etc so quite a few)

    I reckon Riverrun in the show will be much better than the books, the books are filling a dual function, Briennes laborious meanderings through the RL are pointing out the aftermath of war but also how the Sparrow movement rises etc which wasn’t covered properly in the build up to last season but the show will be better. Looking forward to it

  267. Ghosts Lunch,

    Ghosts Lunch: Emilia’s acting was great season 1, it is wooden but personally I think that is the point thematically, Dany is putting on a Queen persona that doesen’t fit her and acting how she thinks she is meant to be acting as a Queen but it isn’t Dany, but people are blaming Emilia Clarkes acting

    Someone who finaly understands.

  268. I just had a thought. What if the shadow of someone being stabbed is King Tommen being killed by ???? (a sandsnake)? It’s been speculated that he is going to be killed at some point in the story.

  269. Ghosts Lunch,

    Exactly most complaints arise when people fail to differentiate the actor and character and what the writers want and trying to do with that character .

    Anyone Remember the complaints against Kit back in season 1 and 2 ..i wonder where they are now .Now there are people who just cant go on with the show

  270. I don’t need to praise Emilia in each of my posts in order to defend my fan-status just so I can criticize her acting lol. And it is her acting, I’ve seen her in other stuff at this point..it’s such a disappointment to me cause I really really believed she showed so much promise to go far.

    The show is popular but it doesn’t mean it’s devoid of real issues hurting it from being even better. I am worried about Season 6 being as jumpy as Season 3, the story needs time to breathe on those zingers for them to have real impact. Instead of contracting like D&D said, we are expanding the story even more.

  271. I didn’t think I could get anymore hyped for season 6… I was wrong.
    This trailer is fantastic.

  272. Deesensfan,

    Selfishly, I’m glad you watched it, ’cause I enjoy chatting with you, and I’m glad we can talk about this. I just want you to be careful, that’s all.

    If there’s much more talk about what looks like it may be a partially accurate spoiler post, I’m either signing off, or starting a thread in the forums for those of us who don’t want to know those sorts of spoilers.

  273. TheKingWhoCares: You’re right. That is definitely Ramsay’s voice! And there is not really an other option for the “little man” that he is talking to. If you combine it with the knowledge that the Umbers are fighting on the Bolton’s side and the scene of Ramsay cleaning his knife, I’m seriously worried about Rickon now.

    Ive suspected Rickon is one of the flayed corpses at the big battle but wasnt sure how hed get there.

  274. Ring,

    Obviously Margaery and Loras in their dirty cells.

    LSH is not happening. Please, just stop trying to convince yourselves that it is.

  275. Dragonmcmx,

    I reckon SRS is turning towards Lancel, and the footage is from the “tell your man to stand aside” scene which as we can see here end up with a FM perhaps being choked with his own chains and his twitching hand

  276. phantomstrife:
    Anything Sam Tarly has been notably absent from these trailers.

    He’s in there very quickly, putting his head into his hands. Presumably upon hearing of Jons death at 1:21

  277. tkk,

    It’s the same weapon. Think of an ice naginata/glaive/sword-staff. That wrap that is around the ice is either a decorative wrap, or it’s the “sheath”(or more like a sling) that holds it on his back.

  278. richarddecredico:
    Wall Builder,

    It’s Jaime killing the Mad King.

    But why would they waste valuable screen time showing that. It’s already been described and discussed numerous times in the show. There’s no mystery to be discovered in that.

  279. Zombies That Were Promised:

    .I am worried about Season 6 being as jumpy as Season 3, the story needs time to breathe on those zingers for them to have real impact.

    i guess you are right maybe they should stop focusing on this huge battles and focus more on the characters that way there will be time enough for all the stories ..afterall this is what third straight battle we are getting out of around North and Wall right..
    how About that .

    still i must say i have never seen a no 1 fan wanting to remove the entire story of their favorite ever before LOL

  280. Connor: Idk if its just me but it looks different from in the trailer, it looks longer and fatter at the end.

    Swords look different when they are in their sheaths.

  281. The bloody hand on the wall is Arya’s (likely from her fights with the Waif – her knuckles look bloodied), finding her way blindly through the stairwells of the HoB&W.

  282. Wall Builder: But why would they waste valuable screen time showing that.It’s already been described and discussed numerous times in the show.There’s no mystery to be discovered in that.

    Simple – As I stated above, it’s the acting troupe acting out what happened.

  283. phantomstrife,

    That’s okay — thanks anyway! Certainly seems to be accurate with the trailer showing Wunwun busting the gates in and the wall of bodies.

    Seems odd that Smalljon Umber remains loyal to Ramsay in his version…. maybe he means Karstark?? If Rickon is caught and etc, maybe Osha is one of the flayed. Lack of Roose means he’s probably dead, I’d bet Walda is too, probably at Ramsay’s hands
  284. Moka,

    Tyrion will be fine. I think poor Qwentyn’s fate is going to prove just a great setup for Tyrion’s big moment as a dragon rider.

  285. Newbietothegame,

    Ah, must’ve missed that. Thanks.

    Name *,

    You’re very welcome!
    Someone told me how to do that when season 5’s trailers came out (if I could remember who that was, I’d thank them, again), so I’m happy to pass it along. It really is great to be able to slow it down…you see so much you miss at full speed.

  286. Mel is nowhere to be seen in the trailer… I think she might die in the first episode (also called “The red woman”) while performing a certain ritual…

  287. I’m blinking in surprise over Melisandre in Essos. I don’t know why that one boggles me so, but it does.

  288. Wall Builder: But why would they waste valuable screen time showing that.It’s already been described and discussed numerous times in the show.There’s no mystery to be discovered in that.

    This. The flashbacks and visions have to be crucial to the progressing plot. They have to have a point to them. How would a flashback of Jaime killing Aerys be anything other than fanservice at this point? It has no bearing on the plot and even the character. It’s not a new revelation (it’s been known since season 1) and will have no consequences in the existing plot.

  289. Christopher Lennon,

    Kingsguard apparel changes according to King. They clearly needed new apparel to change Targ symbols to Baratheon symbols. Not to mention a smart fighter, which Dayne is, does not where a cloak when fighting. Slows a man down, we know this because Bronn made a point of stating back in season 2 or 3.

  290. Just noticed that when Davos says “The real war is between the living and the dead.”, there are multiple bear sigils behind him. The chandelier and the rest of the location looks like the place we saw Sansa at in the first trailer. So I’m guessing this means she’s at Bear Island, and will meet up with Davos?

  291. Redxgod,

    I doubt it is Ramsay catching Pod. Mainly because if you look at the scene there are a bunch of red tents in the background. Basically it is the Lannister camp outside of Riverrun. Someone snagged him there. Someone mentioned maybe the Lannisters make it North but Roose made a point of saying no southern army has ever been in the north. Stannis’ army in the books is a small force, not really an army.
  292. ”I thought he(Mance) was the man to lead us trough the Long Night, but i was wrong. It’s you(Jon).”

  293. phantomstrife,

    I don’t see the need for it, either, but the shadow of the person being stabbed through the back with a sword has a crown on his head and a beard.

  294. Jonah,

    The Umbers allying with the Boltons has been a subject of speculation since last year. It’s not the greatest of writing, but we will have to accept it.

  295. OMFG!!!!!!! WOW!!!!! The only image still missing is Ian McShane. I cannot wait to see him.
    Lyannaes,
    Thanks for that still! It is a great shot of the embroidery: a Stark direwolf surrounded by A VINE OF BLUE ROSES!!!

    Sooooooo HYPED!!!

  296. Am i the only one who thinks its unfair what treatment that dorne and Sandsnakes are getting so far ..after all the promotions last year they dont even get to do anything this year and not a single glimpse of them so far ..

    other than Dorne Unit i guess we have seen everyone at least once in the promos and trailers

    either they are doing something very Spoilery or they are being punished for last season or maybe since it was dorne last year this year they are focusing on Iron iSlands ..

    its hard not to thinkabout the second option and i feel sorry for them

  297. r-hard:
    ”I thought he(Mance) was the man to lead us trough the Long Night, but i was wrong. It’s you(Jon).”

    Pretty much. Mance had been leading them for such a long time and it was put to rest in a dramatic fashion last season.

  298. r-hard:
    ”I thought he(Mance) was the man to lead us trough the Long Night, but i was wrong. It’s you(Jon).”

    Basically.

    Nice try, HBO! lmao

  299. phantomstrife,

    Yeah, I don’t know if I think that Sansa’s being with Davos (which we are to some extent assuming at this point) means that Jon has been rezzed. However, I do think it might indicate that she decided to go north to meet the brother whose whereabouts she was sure of. Other possibility is that they just happen upon each other at Bear Island, or are there at separate times. The interesting thing is I am assuming that Brienne saves Sansa and Theon. So how does she end up in Riverrun and Sansa stays in the North (that is the way it looks, right?)

  300. Ispahan75,

    (WF’s wife was seating next to him at the Red Wedding – RIP, poor girl).

    Don’t worry…………………

    …………..he’ll find another!

  301. For those speculating that the NK has a giant horn on his back, it looks more like a gunstock club made of ice.
    Littlefinger looks a bit surprised/nervous…could it be Brienne he finds in the woods?
    Tormund is referencing Mance when he says “I thought he would be the one to lead us through the long night, but I was wrong.” May be talking to Jon himself.
    Jon is definitely going to support Sansa as Queen in the North, I don’t think he’ll wed her and I don’t think he’ll know his lineage until the end of the season, unless his resurrection comes via an old gods ceremony (someone is “given” to a heart tree) and Bran gives him a vision.
    Davos is with Sansa, so I think Jon is definitely there too at the time, it is called Bastard Bowl for a reason.
    King Aerys murder flashback?
    Brienne and Pod are definitely in RiverRun…when do they head south? Especially since we see in the first trailer that Brienne is killing Bolton men in the snow of the North to presumably save Sansa and Theon.
    Tyrion/Quentyn merger? Tyrion Targaryen? ( I hope for a Quentyn ending >:] )
    Return of Benjen? (I really hope so)
    WW attack on T3ER? Or vision of possible future?
    Yara/Victarion merger?
    Wun Wun bursting into the CB courtyard to slay bodies and crack skulls.
    Definitely a lot going on here and HBO is seriously dedicated to the Kit Harington isn’t coming back misinformation despite all the evidence to the contrary, though that’s what’s to be expected, and I wouldn’t want it any other way.

  302. I don’t know why but when I saw that bloody hand on the wall, my brain went all “Varys’s little bird after some murder”

  303. chika: naginata

    I was wondering what that weapon was called! It’s definitely the same weapon in both the trailer and the gif.

  304. when Davos is speaking to the Mormonts, and says:

    “And make no mistake ________, the dead are coming!”

    ….they clearly edit out the name of whomever he is speaking too.

  305. Ravyn:
    Thedoor,

    Watch for Sansa and her line “When I think of everything that’s been taken from me”. It’s just footage they took from the Red Wedding.

    [Walder Frey at 0:42]
    It is not! During the red wedding Walder’s teenage wife was placed next to him.
    But there are no women in the room now. It’s also not the same room. Compare to original red wedding room here:

    > http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/walkingdead/images/a/ae/Redwedding.png/revision/latest?cb=20140929221557

    The room now is much smaller. Should be a different location.

  306. Heck Yeah. This was awesomeness into awesomeness. Davos underestimates his own capabilities, which are now can blossom with Stannis dead. And the TOJ. No, Pod, please don’t die. And again, no Bronn. Walder Frey though. That seemed like a party, so i think we are getting something nasty in there. And also, no Sand Snakes. Have they died?

  307. Deesensfan,

    its a shame really not even getting a glimpse of them

    Phil:

    Tyrion/Quentyn merger? Tyrion Targaryen? ( I hope for a Quentyn ending >:] )

    if people were pissed at quentyn for how his arc ended just in one book ..think about the reactions of Book and show fans if Tyrion bites the same way as Quentyn

  308. phantomstrife,

    That is not the Mad King being stabbed in that shadow footage.

    It looks like someone is trying to sneak up on the Mountain and stabs him in the back but to his surprise it has no affect cuz The Mountain is a Flesh Golem (D&D talk, look it up).

    Also, the weird fins on The Mountain’s helmet probably is what makes that shadow appear like a crown.

    I could be wrong but just adding my 2 cents.

  309. Demon Monkey,

    Sansa gets taken in by Littlefinger advancing with the Valemen. Brienne goes south.

    Looks like Sansa and Davos are in Winterfell.

    BTW the shot of the Bolton’s shield wall pushing back the Northern allies is another thing that lends credence to that extra’s spoilers.

  310. Connor,

    I actually think the shot some think is shadow of Jamie stabbing the mad king is actually a person of FAITH stabbing Ser Robert Strong in the back, only to find out the sword does not cause him pain or kill him that way.

  311. So guys, the bloody hand dragging along the wall before the title appears on screen, who could that be…? Lyanna Stark, maybe…?

  312. Of course it’s Jaime killing Aerys at 1.07. Look at the shadows, one resembles Jaime, the other is a tall pretty thin character with a beard and shoulder long hair and with what appears to be a crown on his head if you look closely. He is also wearing a tunic with very wide openings in it’s sleeves, definitely not something that MountainStrong would wear.

  313. Sean C.,

    I read your spoilered speculation about Sansa. One problem I have with it:

    why should the Vale army go up north to fight the Boltons on their own? You say that Sansa, aware that they are near, go to meet them. Why would they be approaching in the first place? I believe that Sansa definitely needs to go and rally them up to fight for her cause. So, my theory is: if she first goes to Bear Is., does she take off for the Vale from there while Davos is left in charge of rallying of Northern forces loyal to Starks through the Mormonts?

    The Mummer’s Dragon,
    Yes! In the show it will be a one-step (as opposed to 2-step in the books) process to show that dragons LOVE Tyrion! 😀

  314. Tywin of the Hill:
    What do they say at 0:10? And who says it? It sounds like Ramsay, but I doubt he’s talking to Tyrion.

    “bad games little man”

    could be Ramsey talking to Rickon, if that very spoiler was true.
  315. Connor: Maybe. I cans see the silhouette of a crown and Jaimie did stab him in the back.

    you can also see the shadow of the iron throne

  316. We’re all wondering what LF is looking at in that shot….what if he finds Stannis’ chopped head (yes pls!!) or the dead Bolton hunters (and figures out Sansa is alive and has escaped). That would be hilarious, but it probably won’t happen.

  317. dragonbringer,

    That would be interesting, but wouldn’t he intervene and get Sansa for himself? I’m sure he has enough soldiers to overpower Brienne. Feels kind of weird for him to just let Sansa slip through his fingers.

  318. LenaMCH,

    We all just assumed Liburd was Kinvara because she shot scenes as a Red Priestess in Girona standing in for Meereen. But it turns out from the trailer that Ania Bukstein is Kinvara. I imagine Liburd is playing one of the priestesses Kinvara said she’d summon to Meereen in the audition scene. So Liburd’s still in s6, just in a smaller role than we’d suspected.

  319. Tommy,

    Tyrion will be unharmed proving the theory that he is in fact a targaryen and will become a Dragon rider….he’ll have the green one, Jon stark will have the white one

  320. The trailer made me excited until I remembered the umber giving Ned stark son to the Boltons, any by that killing him, just made me so sad. One of my favorite chapters in the books was davos in white harbor, and to see the poor child fate… Just too convinet to give Sansa the north.

    RIP rickon 🙁

  321. Flayed Potatoes,

    i think sansa may decide to go with LF again so that she can unite Vale and north under her and ask brienne to go look for her brothers .poor brienne will she ever get rest from asked to find the starks

  322. Aryamad,

    Podrick is gonna be fine.

    Filming reports say that Bronn is pulling a prank on him by briefly choking him from behind.
  323. phantomstrife:
    Oathbreaker can only allude to one person at this point in the story. The Pink Letter etc
.

    Oathkeeper is the name of the sword Jamie gifted to Brianne.

    Guess ist will be about Jon Snow and about Jaimie and Brienne. They all end up @ the riverlands, so a certain book plot might be going down here. Both Brianne & Jamie will have to choose wich oath they keep.
  324. dragonbringer,

    For me, it doesn’t make much sense for LF to just appear out of nowhere in the woods around Winterfell. Given that Brienne finds Sansa in Ep 1 makes it even more unlikely IMO.

    I guess it could be a shot from after the Battle, maybe in the Winterfell Godswood, but that’s also just an idea…

  325. Sean C.:
    I’m kind of surprised they released a trailer like this so soon.After the first one seemed to be drawn so heavily from only first episode or two, I kind of figured they were trying to withhold footage from later in the season.Not complaining, of course.

    The shot of Davos indoors looks rather like he’s in the same place Sansa was in the shot from the previous trailer.

    So soon? The premiere is in 13 days.

  326. rich morley:
    Tommy,

    Tyrion will be unharmed proving the theory that he is in fact a targaryen and will become a Dragon rider
.he’ll have the green one, Jon stark will have the white one

    There is no white Dragon.

  327. Jack Bauer 24,

    Ned Stark? He looks like a lot like David Wenham who played Faramir in LOTR and he was cast because he looked very much like Sean Bean…again,I could be wrong but what little face can be seen through that helmet looks a lot like EdieÂŽs and not LukeÂŽs

  328. dragonbringer:
    Flayed Potatoes,

    I hope not.

  329. dragonbringer:
    Deesensfan,

    if people were pissed at quentyn for how his arc ended just in one book ..think about the reactions of Book and show fans if Tyrion bites the same way as Quentyn

    I was thrilled with the results of the Quentyn arc in the book. Along with the rest of the Dornish parts I found it boring, unwanted filler between the good character pov chapters, and he had no business messing with dragons. They’d be more than stupid to have that result be on Tyrion.

  330. rich morley:
    Tommy,

    Tyrion will be unharmed proving the theory that he is in fact a targaryen and will become a Dragon rider
.he’ll have the green one, Jon stark will have the white one

    Or they don’t have Quentyn and someone has to release the dragons, but Tyrion doesn’t die there.
    Jon already got burned in previous seasons, and many Targs died by getting burned there is no reason for Tyrion to not get burned and it doesn’t prove any theory,
    (I also hate the theory that Aerys had a son who is same as Tywin)

  331. Flayed Potatoes,

    well me too..

    Wylie,

    i know what you are saying but i think its still better than him meeting LSH right

    i think you maybe right about Godswood
    now i have to go and rewatch Sansa wedding scene and look for the backgrounds….i always associate Godswoods with green and lot of trees..

  332. Might be going crazy here, but… shot at 0:04. Who’s in the room with Davos? Ghost, some guy I can’t put a name to, and someone… else.

    Someone very much else.

    Anyone seeing what I’m seeing here?

  333. Soldiers climbing onto a pile of bodies to get to the enemy. The Bolton army with their shields out advancing on the wildlings and northern soldiers, cramping them together to restrict their movement. It’s all coming together. The reddit spoilers from the big battle appear to be legitimate.
    Which means

    Rickon is a goner :(((
  334. If this is what they’re ok with showing us before the season starts, imagine what they’re holding back???

  335. SO MUCH HYPE!!

    Sansa in Stark gear is life. Life, I say!

    I am sooo ready for this season.

  336. Dragonmcmx,

    The voice over on Tyrion’s first part with the Mereenese people sounded like Ramsay saying, “Do you like to play games, little man?”

    If you pause the video when Dany is stripped and seen from behind, you can see the older actress in front of her who plays the older Dosh Killeen(sp?).

  337. Well, I guess the Mountain and Viper Memory Lane is gonna come up at the last moment tonight…

    Except if you’re on American hour, in which case I guess you still have some time left ! ^^

  338. Arthur:
    Lol..

    Jaime has got the best dialog in that trailer so funny I love it.

    High Sparrow – “You’d spill blood in this holly place?”
    Jaime – “The Gods wont mind”

    Hell yeah Jaime put that asshole in his place!

    Priceless!

    I respectfully disagree. Tyrion has the best line: That is what I do. I drink. And I know things.

    TheKingWhoCares: You’re right. That is definitely Ramsay’s voice! And there is not really an other option for the “little man” that he is talking to. If you combine it with the knowledge that the Umbers are fighting on the Bolton’s side and the scene of Ramsay cleaning his knife, I’m seriously worried about Rickon now.

    I really don’t think that is Ramsay. It doesn’t sound like him to me, not the whole way through the quote. I believe the end part does, but the beginning sounds nothing like him.

  339. isnt episode 4 a longer episode? They also havent released the episode name for that. I think that might be the episode for you know how to come back and in episode 5 we might get Toj then.

  340. Zomg!

    Only just got here and only watched it once… but someone’s trying to strangle/slit throat on unsuspecting, smiling Pod! I will not have it! I will not! will not… [dissolves in a puddle of tears]

    And… Breathe… OK, I’ll go and watch it again a dozen times and come back with more rational reactions.

  341. r-hard,

    Yes, I don’t doubt that he’s going back north, but probably not without an army in between seasons. Personally, I think that LF will arrive with the Vale army in Ep 9, not before.

  342. phantomstrife: here it is
    http://imgur.com/BPnVKH9

    Ok if this is legit Ghost was used as a sacrafice for JonÂŽs ressurection.
    If Ghost were alive he would be with Jon in the battle. There is a slim chance that he is with Sansa tough.

    I see all the banners in the trailer and what the reddit guy mentioned but there are no sign or mention of Manderly and it was said he was cast?

    If Sansa comes to the rescue with a Vale army it means she heads south after the escape from Winterfell. How could she liknk up with an army coming from the south if she was in Castle Black, Bear Island … or somwhere up north?

    What the f**k Brienne abandons Sansa to go to Riverrun and help out Jamie there?
    #oathbreaker

    If was hoping that Jon would use/ be given Stannis ice lake tactic against the Boltons.
    Riding straight to Winterfell to meat an opposing army that outnumbers yours 6 to 1 is just poor thinking.

    While Boltons being defeated is great it kinda sucks that the Vale soldiers will get the credit and glory of freeing Winterfell and not Stark loyal northmen and wildlings.

  343. Hawk: If you pause the video when Dany is stripped and seen from behind, you can see the older actress in front of her who plays the older Dosh Killeen(sp?).

    Yes! Very good! Looks like Daeny’s getting some form of initiation to the Dosh Khaleen community…

  344. Hoyti Von Totiy,

    The redditor posted more spoilers in that post and also another one.

    From what I remember, he mentioned not knowing whether any direwolves would be in the battle. He didn’t get to see the balls on a stick that are the direwolves during filming. He was used as an extra for both sides btw.

    Sansa will probably encounter Littlefinger in the North. Won’t get to Castle Black. And the shot of her in the trailer looks to be from Winterfell. Possibly after the battle.

  345. I’m almost certain this has been mentioned, but 1:07 looks like a flashback of Jaime killing Aerys.

  346. I think the shot at .10 is the TOJ after Lyanna’s death. It looks like there’s a large wooden cairn or structure next to it.

  347. Hold on to your butts…………I loved that trailer! 🙂

    Perhaps maybe, just maybe this will be a great season after all. Dear god please let it be.

  348. Jack Bauer 24,

    Jack Bauer 24,

    I just had a crazy thought… what if Luke Roberts, Robert Arrayo and Eddie Eyre are playing

    the three Targ Kingsguard members and they secretly brought back Sean Bean to play his younger self as Ned Stark?
  349. I loved the “I know what happened” voice-over transposed onto Littlefinger. Does anyone out there “know what happened” and have a liking for Stark girls? Methinks someone will be squished by the Queen of the North as the ending for a late-season episode.

    And Pod, oh Pod. Could it be? Captured in the Riverlands?

  350. In the scene where Littlefinger looks nervous you can see a black flash on the righthand side of the screen. It could perhaps be someone, or perhaps it could be Shaggydog. He would properly look nervous if he saw a direwolf.

  351. Hoyti Von Totiy:

    I see all the banners in the trailer and what the reddit guy mentioned but there are no sign or mention of Manderly and it was said he was cast?

    Well, there was a casting call for a fat northern lord who gives a great speech but they could have trolled us hard with that description and give this to another northern lord. I will be PISSED if they sub out Maege Mormont for a heretofore unheard of male Mormont to take over the Manderly stuff. It would be a double blow – we’d lose Wyman and Maege. 🙁

  352. Kargaryen:
    TYRION IS RELEASING THE DRAGONS MY BODY IS READY

    Yep, me too, pretty much.

    Awesome trailer. Can’t wait.

    And people, obviously Tyrion isn’t getting roasted by dragonfire. He’s got plot armor until he returns to Westeros. The dragons will “intentionally” miss him just like they missed Danny when they were upset with her…

  353. Late to the party, but wow. Excellent energy in the trailer and here. Love the soundtrack already!.

  354. Wow….way off. Shot at .10 is obviously the pyramid in Meereen. *slinks away in embarrassment*

  355. Clob:
    Found a trailer version that’s been brightened for easier viewing of the dark shots:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Fu6OKqwBdc

    Thank you! This one is so much easier to view and make out things clearly!

    I wonder if Littlefinger turns around while snow is falling and sees the Night’s King? Also, what is happening when NK and his fellow brethren are advancing towards a huge fire?

  356. Wondering what happened to Osha and Shaggydog if Rickon is back.

    And if

    Rickon dies that means he, Osha and the direwolf dies in the books at Skagos and Davos comes back without them?

    Atleast i hope Davos will come back from there.

  357. Abyss,

    I bow before thee!!!

    Thank you very, very, very much!!!

    On another note:

    Could those of you discussing what seems to be, at least in part, legitimate spoilers from that reddit post please, PLEASE have the decency not to discuss it openly!?! At the very least, use the spoiler coding. At least that way, those of us, even book-readers, can avoid that information by leaving the spoilers covered.

    PLEASE!!!

  358. Kay,

    Because Littlefinger is taking the Valemen north. He said as much in Season 5. Sansa doesn’t have to do anything to get them to go North; she already did, effectively, by convincing them to support Baelish in 408.

  359. What if Blackfish stays hidden with a small garrison in RiverrunÂŽs secret chambers after surrendering the castle to Jamie?

    Old man Walder and Lannisters come there to feast and celebrate (their weapons not in hand ofcourse) only to find out some Tully soldiers are still there.

    And the massacre begins … 🙂

  360. Abyss,

    ps – As always, your titles are awesome.
    I can’t even decide which one I like best, this time, there are so many great ones.
    Of course, I love the ones which make me laugh, and there are quite a few of them, but the nod to Simon and Garfunkel put a big ol’ smile on my face, too!!!

  361. Hoyti Von Totiy:

    Yes please!

  362. I don’t know if anyone’s caught this yet (too many comments to read all), but the shot of the Night’s King with his 3 generals on horseback, has him carrying a huge horn made of ice strapped to his back! That is a huuuuuuge spoiler IMO, I think that confirms the Wall is coming down this season! Wow, every time I look at the new trailer I’m seeing something new.

  363. Hoyti Von Totiy,

    well considering jaime is still in king’s landing in ep 6 i don’t see how brienne can go and help him in ep 3 maybe it’s sansa who sends brienne to find arya in the riverlands and that’s how she meets jaime.The vale army and littlefinger getting the merit fits with the show imo since nothing it’s clear cut.Also considering the bolton have the two biggest houses on their side it’s understandable that jon would be overwhelmed

    I tried to post this earlier, but the page crashed, so I’ll try again. At the time these “spoilers” were first being discussed, didn’t someone post saying that they were an extra for this sequence and that the guy who posted the “spoiler” got some bits right but most of it was wrong, so he suggested we ignore it. Perhaps he was actually an extra (IIRC he did post some proof), but he wasn’t privy to the whole sequence and made some of it up. That’s what I’m choosing to believe.

  365. Wylie:
    Laura,

    Didn’t Maege die at the Red Wedding in the show? If not, why would Lyanna be Lady of Bear Island?

    Hmm, well I just looked it up on the Wikia and you might be right

    “Stannis Baratheon mentions that Lyanna Mormont is Lady of Bear Island, implying Maege may have perished during the War of the Five Kings.”

    I’m with you here. How would an extra know about scenes with a giant, which would be filmed separately with a green screen?

  367. Lulus Mum,

    Yes, yes it is the perfect feather too I think it surpassed the word PONCY just the very greatest.

    Whoever figured out the shadow assassination is the play… kudos to you! The scale of the “throne” is wrong, the king has a big silly “cape”, and a silly “crown” the sword is two short and stubby to be a “sword”, but a play sword… that’s it.
    That will be a lovely opening to a location change… a scenario when someone pleads for their life and a death…. pull back to reveal… a stage! For once the opposite of what were used to – serenity interrupted by violence…

    For the record… if it is a Reversed Mormont sigil… as far as anything Official GoTish… it looks right I guess, wrong colours… but right colours top and bottom. It really looks more like a Rampant Barney the dinosaur. Might just be random defeated foes, and nothing to get excited about. Looks more bearish in the lightened version.

    Stupidly… all this talk has randomly made me think hard for the first time EVER that the Blackfish would make an excellent roletaker for Lady Stoneheart…. now that at least everyone thinks Sansa will be a wee bit too busy to do that now… huzzah!

  368. Probably the best trailer produced for the show thus far. Incredible tension throughout and that pulsating score? Ugh my heart!! Sooooo many noteworthy moments already mentioned, I won’t repeat. I honestly don’t think we’re quite prepared for the shocks/thrills we’re going to get, however in tune we are with set leaks and spoilers.

    Just fills my heart with pride that Sansa and Bran are impacting the story in big ways now. Arya needs to leave the HoBW, she feels so disconnected, but even her scenes look thrilling this time round. Of course Jon isn’t out the picture, but honestly I kind of forgot his presence watching this trailer (sorry!!!)

    A Time for Wolves bishes!!!

    As for the YT views, tomorrow you’ll see that the numbers will be in the millions, I’m pretty sure they’re just slow to update.

  369. gewa76: I’m with you here. How would an extra know about scenes with a giant, which would be filmed separately with a green screen?

    I don’t know which extra-with-spoilers you’re referring to, there were so many claiming that this year- but I can answer the giant question.

    Any scene with a giant, they have this long stick with a ball at the top, and they walk it around the set so that people know where to look. It’s so the actors have the right eyeline for the scenes with giants. And the extras in scenes with the giant need to know it’s there when they’re being told to pretend to attack it, spear upward at it.

  370. Connor,

    If you watch closely, itÂŽs the Mountain who is being stabbed…it is no crown on his head but the weird ReleasetheKraken! helmet the Kingsguard wear

  372. Nymeria Warrior Queen,

    Amen! Guys please have some consideration for those of us who don’t want to know about all that transpires in the episodes to come. Speculation with regards to the trailer is fun, but a supposed prolific set leak? Keep that shit away!!

  373. Name *,

    No. But there was some other poster, who claimed to be an extra as well, just giving that guy shit for posting the spoilers. but didn’t confirm nor deny them.

  374. Laura,

    I was thinking of the letter Stannis received in S5 from Lyanna. He said she was Lady of Bear Island, so I assumed that her older sisters (if there were any in the show) and her mother were gone… So yeah, maybe she’ll have some sort of adviser by her side or maester?

    The Manderley role is curious. There’s always a chance that the fat Lord that was cast is head of that made-up House with the yellow dots in the sigil. But I don’t really know why there would be a need to change that. Hmm.

  375. Sue the Fury,

    I’m talking about the Reddit post that others here seem to be referencing, mentioning

    Wun Wun crashing through the gate at Winterfell and being shot in the eye by an arrow.

    I’m not sure how an extra would know how that scene plays out, so perhaps they were embellishing.

  376. Nymeria Warrior Queen,

    I can make the gifs much faster now, because I use I professional program that can cut a movie file with on-frame-precision, hence I have more time to think of funny link titles. Glad you like them 🙂

  377. ladywolfsbane,

    Spoilers filming leaks

    In that photo with the Stark loyalists from the Battle that leaked, you can see a Mormont shield with a bear on yellowish ground. Looks exactly like the ones on the wall.
  378. Alex G,

    I don’t believe this to be true, but even if it is, the man in the Targaryen KG armor in this trailer looks different from the one who is dual wielding in the other trailers. And he looks nothing like Luke Roberts or Eddie Eyre. The man dual wielding looked like Luke Roberts, and he is almost certainly Dayne.

  379. LenaMCH:
    I’m confused about the Red Priestess in Meereen. On IMDB Melanie Liburd is cast as High Priestess Kinvara, but that was clearly Ania Bukstein walking away from Varys and Tyrion. I wonder If there will be more than one new Red Priestess or if there was a change in casting.

    IMdb is rubbish. Anyone can edit it so misreported stuff gets repeated, and users also create mischief. (Every year Michelle Fairley and Joseph Mawle seem to pop up on the cast list!) Plus, actors and agents hype their own work, especially when they aren’t well known. She seems to be in the show but it could be something quite insignificant.

  380. Wylie,

    He looks smaller than Eddie, but he tweeted that he was in the trailer, so I expect you are right. So with both Roberts and Eyre being KG, who the hell is playing Ned and/or Howland? We all speculated that Aramayo is Howland, with a few guessing he is Ned, but he’s certainly not both. So we don’t know who is playing one of them.

  381. Laura: Hmm, well I just looked it up on the Wikia and you might be right

    “Stannis Baratheon mentions that Lyanna Mormont is Lady of Bear Island, implying Maege may have perished during the War of the Five Kings.”

    The one who died at the Red Wedding was one of Maege’s daughters, Dacey. Maege is somewhere in the North with two of her other daughters. Lyanna is the youngest so she’s at Bear Island. This is in the books, at least. I assume the show will just conveniently kill everyone to save time, or maybe we’ll get a mention that some are held captives somewhere.

  382. OMG! I managed to calm down while reading all the comments. There are many things that mean trouble, but I don’t want to think at them. I’m pretty sure Tyrion won’t be burnt by the dragons. Maybe he’ll find a friend 🙂
    When I first saw Luke Roberts I wanted him to play Rhaegar, but I’m afraid he won’t appear in the show. But I had been sure Anya will be Lyanna… and I was wrong. Who will play her part?
    I’m glad to see Bear Island, to meet the Mormont women would certainly be an unexpected pleasure. But if young Lyanna is the lady of the house, it means the others died during the Red Wedding. It would be a shame, I’d like to see Alysane, she’s supposed to be alive.

  383. It’s what I do: I drink, and I know things.

    That might be the best line to describe myself that I never was clever enough to come up with. Thanks, D&D! That one’s going to be used quite frequently.

  384. I cannot believe that I mixed up the character Quentyn calling him Trystane, damn! I really hope the Tyrion will not be roasted by the dragons, if he does that will shock the heck out of all so us!

  385. Tyrion Pimpslap,

    I agree with Luke and Eddie as Kingsguards and think Aramayo could very well be our Ned. At first I was totally against the idea because I didn’t see any similarities between him and Sean Bean, but Bean’s face had quite bony and sharp features (sorry, I don’t know how else to describe it in English) when he was younger and clean shaven.

    But then who will play Howland ? Hmmm.

  386. Shy Lady Dragon,

    Lyanna is supposed to be a teenager at the ToJ. Ania Bukstein is 33 so … nope.
    Personally, I’ve always thought that if they decide to show her they should just get Maisie Williams to do it.

  387. msd:

  388. rich morley: Tyrion will be unharmed proving the theory that he is in fact a targaryen and will become a Dragon rider
.he’ll have the green one, Jon stark will have the white one

    I think you mean the gold one…

  389. ShakaZulu: I really hope the Tyrion will not be roasted by the dragons, if he does that will shock the heck out of all so us!

    He won’t. Either the flame is for someone else, or they spliced in a separate scene in which one of the dragons unleashes on someone or something. That is, after all, very standard in trailers.

  390. are we going to see lyanna mormont? I need to see the young lady who told off Stannis. Like yesterday. She is amazing. Those Mormont women are going to kick some ass. I hope one of them kills Ramsey and then there should be cake. High fives and cake. I think that is season 6 right? I think I just spoiled it. ? ? Team Stark and Mormont

    ?

  391. rich morley: Tyrion will be unharmed proving the theory that he is in fact a targaryen and will become a Dragon rider

    Targaryens are not fire proof, and they definitely are not dragon-flame resistant.

    I would think it more probable that Tyrion will tame/befriend one of them based on things that he has learned about dragons from books.

    Connor: And it looks like Richard Brake is still playing the Night King, and it looks like they are attacking the 3 Eyed crows cave!!!

    Or they did attack it, or they will in the far future. Remember, Bran is going to see the past and future as well as the present. He could be a “Mirror of Galadriel” portent of what will come to pass if X, Y and/or Z are not done. Or it’s possible that in the past war, the Walkers unsuccessfully attacked the weirwood grove.

    Bran’s daytripping literally adds a 4th dimension to things for which we need to allow.

  392. Darkrobin: Maybe Sansa and he knows he has a lot of explaining to do about setting her up to marry Ramsey?

    It seems improbable that LF would be able to learn too much about what Ramsay was doing with Sansa before he sees her again. The Boltons excel at keeping things secret, after all.

  393. Connor,

    You’re right that they’d have to set it up properly but I think it would have a lot of emotional resonance to actually see a multi-generational Stark link. Arya and Lyanna are supposed to be very alike after all. Maisie is the right age and we know she can act. All they’d need to do is glam her up a bit, as they do for magazine shoots.

  394. elfstone,

    My question as well. She slept with Lancel and wants Tyrion dead (and Jamie well knows the latter). What else has she really done? No Kettlebacks. Jamie’s shift occurs before he meets with Lancel on his tour of the Riverlands. I suspect that others are right in that it will be sudden but will there be something in addition to Lancel to cause it.

  395. Wimsey,

    Wimsey, that is true. Especially on the show. I recall in the books Wyman M knew a lot of what the Boltons had done … starving Lady Hornwood?, and what happened at WF but a lot of that was due to the mute Ironborn who they found … although some it it they got directly or through spying on the Freys who were in White Harbor. And of course, the whole fArya story was carried on in front of the assembled lords in WF unlike the Sansa story on the show. He learns sooner or later as AG has stated that LF feels remorse for what’s happened to Sansa. But who knows when he learns.

  396. Boudica,

    It’s a person there is a bluish hue to them like Brienne’s suit, if it was a wolf LF be paler then the snow and his breeches wet and brown.

  397. I find it strange that the Tyrell colors are Green and Yellow yet Mace’s feathers are white and blue.

  398. This has probably been said but in the beginning of the teaser after the castle black scenes, could that be Hightower in Oldtown and not the pyramid? It looks like there is a fire at the top. Also I think the voiceover about “Do you enjoy playing games little man” definitely sounds like Ramsay. Maybe Fat Walda gives birth to a boy?

  399. I haven’t read through all the comments but is it me or is that a dragons neck in front of the pyramid of Meeren? I can’t tell if it looks yellow or green…either way its one of the dragons that were left behind.

  400. Deesensfan,

    I’m so excited for you! I didn’t understand at first why you would risk exposure to spoilers and participate in every chat – but now I know. It’s a fun time for all, not just the peeps who want to know as much info as possible.

    Keep up what you’re doing. 99% of the people here are awesome. That jonsnowed (or whatever his name was), is an exception. Read posts to you only from those you know or trust. In the meantime, I’m going to have a look for something to help keep you spoiler free until show time.

    I really am pumped for you. 🙂

  401. Tyrion Pimpslap,

    I cantÂŽt vouch for Luke Roberts to be 100 per cent Ned but that guard is def Eddie Eyre…in real life he is an expert swordsman who fits perfectly into the casting they were looking for…they said they needed the best swordsman in Europe…

  402. While discussing the 6 burning flayed man in trailer with a friend, a sudden realization hit us as to who was one of those:

    Some of us speculated that one of them might be Davos because of the missing fingers or the rather short knuckles but hey! I just suddenly remembered Great Jon Umber! He got his fingers eaten after refusing to join Robb’s army… this might be the possible explanation as to why Ramsey got hold of Rickon. I’m speculating that somehow Small Jon’s alliance ties with Ramsey Snow so he abandoned his father. Thus, his father who seems to be a traitor now in their eyes got flayed. I believe that as long as Great Jon is alive Rickon will be safe.
  403. Ha ha did anyone see the red carpet interview it’s on YouTube it’s titled Jon snow is a no show. After seeing that video I believe we will find out in episode 1 that he is not dead. Some of them were laughing and just the answers and how they were giving them was just a joke to them as if they are so close to us finding out he is alive

  404. darkdadi,

    I think it is also one of the reason why bran decided to send rickon to the umbers because he saw how great jon reacted to robb. I think this is why he taught rickon one would be safer with them and if great jon would be eliminated, then…

    bye-bye rickon
  405. I READ ALL THE COMMENTS.
    Also I like the idea of the shadows introducing the play, I cannot wait for the play (It will be like the show Joffrey put on, with the dwarves). If it is an actual flashback (either through Vision or Memory), maybe they are doing that to show the parallels between the Mad King and Cersei. It would be really cool to hear the Mad King’s last words be echoed by Cersei which will trigger Jaime to gradually separate himself from her.

  406. darkdadi,

    The simpler explanation is that the basis of the alliance is the Wildlings, and that the Umbers have suffered terribly at the hands of Wildlings over the centuries.

    Remember, Game of Thrones is no different from actual history: people enter into alliances with lesser enemies against greater enemies with every intention of starting (or resuming) hostilities once the greater enemy is finished. After all, this is happening in only about 3 or 4 other plotlines in this tale!

  407. Maybe Meera is looking up in horror at a Ice dragon or Danys Dragons. Could also be ice spiders as big as hounds!

  408. In all these scenes of Davos and the Nights Watch men about to fight to protect Jon’s body: Where is Dolorous Edd?? He was the only Nights Watch character left (with a name) that was a friend of Jon’s still at Castle Black. Wouldn’t he be in that room with them?

  409. Rickon Stark is the male heir to the north. If he were to die then the whole battle would loose much of its value as house stark would be extiguished through the male line and loose its importance with its female line. If sansa is the last heir, she will be the last stark ruler of the north as her sons will be heirs of their fathers house. Thats why i dont believe rickon will die. Sansa will be rickon’s regent until he comes of age and she will have much of the power in the north. Jon has other issues at hand. The spoiler on reddit never confirmed rickon died only that he was shot and his fste is unknown.

  410. Stark bannerman,

    Not necessarily. Sansa’s heirs can be Starks if she marries a lesser house. Case in point, the House Mormont. Their rulers are females but they retain their Mormont name to preserve their line.

  411. Any chance that the person approaching Little Finger is Lady Stoneheart? That would explain the rather uncomfortable look on LF’s face there. Propably not, but LSH would certainly be displeased that LF handed Sansa over to the dreaded Boltons.

  412. Kargaryen,

    Wow, how can he do it? Those dragons gotta be pissed after being chained up for so long. With their dispositions I’d think the first human they see would be toast…wonder if this is actually the last scene.

  413. Ghosts Lunch: Yeah I was thinking this but paused the frame, it looks like there are Lannister soldiers there and layout is different

    Gatehouse Ami/Lannister wedding confirmed!

    There is no women in that scene at all. So it is hardly a wedding. Maybe a gay wedding.

    I think it’s the celebration after the Freys take over Riverrun. I wonder what happens next.

    .

  414. House C,

    I wish that were the case but I believe he’s talking about Jon because why would he be speaking of Mance all this time later? Especially when he more recently allied with Jon and saw his leadership skills first hand at Hardhome. Maybe Tormund even witnessed the moment he shattered the WW.

  415. Ser Low-Res:
    Here is a gif from one of the behind the scenes videos, showing what the thing that Night’s King is carrying is:

    http://media.vanityfair.com/photos/56f19084ffeffc951764f235/master/w_900,c_limit/got-nights-king.gif

    Just in case anyone has any doubts. It’s a sword. Not a horn.

    That’s a completly different scene. And it’s a different item. Pause the trailer at 1:13. where the ice-sword has it’s blade the possible horn has some leather strapped around. We will have to wait and see, but it looks definitly not like sword.

  416. Jared,

    If Longclaw ends up being the hero’s sword Lightbringer (not that they’ll call it that in the show), it is from house Mormont, and Davos will be with the Mormonts, leading the charge against the dead….I just want to know how common a name is Lyanna?

  417. Zombies That Were Promised:
    My only complaint is St. Tyrion being King of Meereen
like
HOW??!And Emilia Clarke is a wooden actress it’s not enough she’s got less screentime
 can we just cut everything going on in the East???It REALLY no longer belongs in the show, since the show does not want to (or cannot) give it the justice, scale, and time it needs for the story there to breathe.

    It’s become a pus on the show, at this point.

    Well, it’s tits and dragons. And the dragons are, where Daeny is. I don’t think it makes sense to completly cut that storyline so the dragons would appear all the sudden out of nowhere.

  418. LenaMCH,

    could mel send a letter to her order before doing her thing for john,kind of like hey our redpresistess says the dead are rising in the north and if you want to score points in westeros why not send your dragons to help defend the wall?

  419. dkd,

    I agree.

    But is no one thinking this may not be a flashback at all? Nor a play?
    What if it’s real and the person who dies is Tommen.

  420. YgiTTe,

    You’re right they would be angry and hungry unless someone still feeds them but This could be bow we learn tuition is danys brother

  421. I’d say (with the rumor of the actress seen in Belfast with another actor that is confirmed to appear in what would be the same storyline, rumors of outlaws, the fact that they’re doing Jaimys riverlands-AFFC-arc, the Frey focus in the coming season, a clip in the trailer of freys hall filled with lannister soldiers, the prostetics-guy who said they were doing something in season 3 that got pushed to 4 then 5 but is definately happening now, Jamie and Brienne both apparantly ending up in the Riverlands this season, and Podrick being grabbed from behind in a lannister camp) that Lady Stoneheart is more possible now than ever before. I’m not the type that hyped it from the beginning, but now I actually believe there is a big chance she’s coming. They were holding it back until reaching a similiar plotthreat so one wouldnt diminish the other in surprise. It’s happening!

  422. Connor,

    He probably put on armour after seeing his buddy getting smashed by jon. It will be epic when We get to see them 2 have a proper fight Azzor Ahai v’s The Nights King the final showdown light v dark fire v ice

  423. Han Solo Cup,

    It’s glorious, isn’t it? I also wanna hear from the costume designer what ideas went into the design. They are always so considerate when it comes to details. The plant or tree thingy in particular intrigues me…

  424. Darkrobin: I recall in the books Wyman M knew a lot of what the Boltons had done 
 starving Lady Hornwood?

    Yes, that did get out: but that was because Roose was not there. Book!Ramsay is much more of a thug than is Show!Ramsay – you can practically here Book!Ramsay speaking in a bad Italian-American NY accent! However, both in the books and on the show, Roose admonishes Ramsay for not keeping things “quiet.” Roose, on the other hand, could have been an Cold War Eastern European leader: what happens in the Dreadfort (or Winterfell) stays in the Dreadfort.

  425. Geralt of Rivia: Or they betrayed Starks because they alliened themselves with wildlings.

    Jon has aligned himself with Wildlings, yes: but Jon is a bastard, and thus not a real Stark. Bastards are notorious for being, well, bastards. So, that really would not be held against the Stark household. Indeed, if they are hoping to restore Rickon, then removing Jon would be particularly important to the Umbers: after all, wouldn’t it be just like a bastard (and one who already has show his treason by letting Wildlings into Westeros and possibly deserting the Watch) to try to usurp the rightful heir? So, someone with pro Stark loyalties would align themselves against Jon, just as people with pro-Targaryen loyalties would align themselves against Blackfyres.

    The question is: when (if ever) does Sansa align with Jon? My bet is the the alignment might wind up getting forced. Still, it is interesting that the one house we know seems to be with Sansa is the Mormants, and they are the one Northern house of which we know that has not had Wildling problems: the Iron Born occupy that niche for Bear Island.

    At this point, I really have no idea how it is going to play out. However, Martin loves 3-sided conflicts.

  426. Geralt of Rivia,

    It also occurs to me that Stark-loyalists holding Rickon might also view Sansa as a rival. After all, women with designs on power (or who appear to do so) are just as bad as bastards in this world. So, a “pro-Rickon” northerner knowing nothing none of the specifics (and those certainly would be hard to learn, or to take seriously if they were learned) easily might assume that both Jon and Sansa are angling to cheat Rickon out of what is his.

  427. KevLS,

    Precisely my point. if she is pregnant she has a BOLTON heir to the dreadford. IF Rickon dies, her BOLTON heir will inherit winterfell as well. Women cannot further the family line. IF they do, the house would have 2 names like….Stark-Bolton like history shows us. The Main line(stark) would die out with rickon.

  428. Shadow Shifter,

    Inheritance doesnt work like that,but lets say it does. Do you really think Ned Starks daughter would marry a lesser lord that no one ever heard off? No! Second, the only way for the main line to survive is for her to marry a Karstark cousin if Rickon dies. If she were to harry Harrold Karstark(cadet branch), their heir would be a Stark, because both of them are STARKS.

    If Sansa is pregnant, her child is a BOLTON heir to both Winterfell and the Dreadford.

    As for the Mormonts, they never reveal the father of Maege mormonts daughters, he could be a cousin and a Mormont himself. It happens….just like Tywin married his first cousin.

  429. Mihnea:
    dkd,

    I agree.

    But is no one thinking this may not be a flashback at all? Nor a play?
    What if it’s real and the person who dies is Tommen.

    Yes, I thought it a few hundred comments ago. 🙂

  430. grailking,

    Rather than a dilemma of conflicting oaths, it goes back to the theme of the books, also introduced in the show, of having to make the difficult choice between love vs. duty, e.g. Ned’s talk with Varys (lying for his daughters vs. saving his honor); Jon’s talk with Aemon (fighting for ones family vs. upholding Night’s Watch oath); Arya’s talk with Jaqen (holding on to Needle vs. becoming no-one); etc. etc. etc.

    For Brienne: Love = Jaime (and therefore by extension Lannister) vs. Duty = Lady Catelyn (Tully and Stark) and Renly (Baratheon)
    Tully, Stark and Baratheon interests come into direct conflict with Lannister.

    If she chooses Jaime, it will be an ironic mirror of Jaime’s ‘the things I do for love…’and she will be guilty of the very thing she derides him for, oathbreaking. She will also no longer be fit to bear that sword ‘Oathkeeper’…perhaps it will find its way into the hand of another more worthy of Ice’s legacy. It’s also an ironic twist that she fell in love with Jaime while she was doing her duty, taking the despised ‘Oathbreaker’ par excellence back to Kings Landing during the war, a war he’d helped trigger by doing the very things he was willing to do for love, thus setting herself up for her own scenario of oathbreaking, in another war! (and on and on it goes…now this ones on top now that one…love gives way to duty, duty defeated by love… will someone please break this wheel…)

    Cynically, GRRM is very fond of ripping off the scales from the eyes of the ingĂ©nue, and D&D are only too happy to oblige with this gripping trend and follow suit (e.g. Ned’s honest bumblings which got him killed and the audience hooked; Sansa’s rude awakening, only to get ruder and rawer, when she finally cottons on to what yarn LF’s been spinning…) —
    and, following in this tradition, I expect Brienne’s innocence and idealism will not be spared either.

    Oathbreaker could refer to any number of people though (D&D like playing with a few interpretations in the same episode).

  431. Team Hodor: [Walder Frey at 0:42]
    It is not! During the red wedding Walder’s teenage wife was placed next to him.
    But there are no women in the room now. It’s also not the same room. Compare to original red wedding room here:

    > http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/walkingdead/images/a/ae/Redwedding.png/revision/latest?cb=20140929221557

    The room now is much smaller. Should be a different location.

    I actually do think it’s The Twins but not the RW. I agree the size of the room looks different, but check this out.

    https://imgur.com/wSQnB3i

    The pictures on the right are the Red Wedding, with a large seven pointed star just outside the doors. And what do we see in the new trailer (picture on right) ? It appears to be the same star.

  432. I think rickon will be betrayed by the umbers. They will join the Boltons in he battle of the north. I think rickon, asha and a few others will be flayed and burned on the X.

  433. Connor,

    I originally thought Tormund was speaking about Jon too, but what if he is speaking to a newly resurrected Jon about Mance. Just a thought.

  434. Frankyb:
    Connor,

    I originally thought Tormund was speaking about Jon too, but what if he is speaking to a newly resurrected Jon about Mance. Just a thought.

    My thoughts now too!

  435. Wimsey,

    It seems that there’s also some potential for Ramsay to manipulate people’s loyalties following Sansa’s flight. He could tell them that she’s pregnant with a Lannister kid and ran away to find Tyrion or something….I don’t know, make it up, but we know the guy delights in making people trust him and then turning around and betraying that trust in horrible ways. Ramsay knows that Rickon is still alive, though, and if he’s going to oppose whatever Sansa is planning to do, it makes sense for him to try to flush Rickon out of hiding through some kind of deceit, so that he can pit Stark against Stark and undermine the credibility of Sansa’s stories and the legitimacy of her revolt.

  436. Connor,

    that is clearly not the same object NK is swinging. In trailer 2, the thing across his back is more horn shaped and not as long as the GIF used as evidence to shut down the theory.

  437. Mister Stoneheart,
