DID GRRM JUST REVEAL A WINDS OF WINTER SCENE????

Yes! YEEESS!! So glad to see a new trailer. I think I might prefer this to the first one actually, mostly because I’m glad they have shown more Stannis and the Boltons… and this makes it look more intense than the first one.

Seven hells!!! So I guess this pretty much confirms Sansa storyline this year, the theories were correct indeed and I just love it!

It’s the 2016 calendar that will have a TWoW scene, not the 2015 one which has been out for months. But oddly, I can’t place this scene either from earlier in the books. Hmm.

Sansa is in the crypts of Winterfell. For those who predicted this, good job. For those who doubted us, your crow will be served momentarily.

I must say, that trailer looks pretty friggin’ badass

Im actually surprised at how bad ass they made stannis look in this trailer

has hasn’t looked this awesome since seaon 2 lol

1) Is that Myranda with Ramsay? Could it be Fake Arya? I really want this subplot to happen, my favorite story from aDoD!

2) Why was Selyse on the floor? What could possibly be happening? She was never in real danger in the books.

Better than the last one – so much to discuss!

Great trailer but Dany gets progressively more annoying!

My guess on the Sansa thing is that she is going to take over the role of Manderly and pretty much be the face of northern conspiracy. I dont think it will be revealed who she is until towards the end of the season. My guess is the Boltons will just think she is LFs niece Alayne.

Not much Dorne play. I have a feeling there will be a Dorne emphasis in another trailer closer to the season. This one was the big-splash, get-excited-again trailer, so it focused on stuff people will already know. Although there was a lot of the Faith in there, and I loved what I saw.

Well, well. Looks like Loras is really taking over some of Marg’s part in season 5.

He even seems to get a mini trail by faith already.

My baby is really pissed off again. Either somebody said something mean about Renly or made a “yo sista”-joke.

Olenna, Marg and Cersei sitting in the background like dead chicken is a bit curious. Hey, the kitten king is there too.

Oh, and Brienne gets the WINTER IS HERE!11!! scene (snow in the Riverlands). Nice.

My only concern with the new images is Melisandre seemingly leaving Castle Black with Stannis…

Ohhhhh my god… this is hands down the best trailer we’ve gotten for any season, right!? So so excited

Is the HBONow subscription just limited to US residents only or available for international subscribers?

The action scenes this year look absolutely incredible. The cinematography and the choreography are simply stunning to behold.

First shot of the Waif at 1:22? It’s probably a stretch given that she’s being shot from the side, but does anyone happen to recognize the actress?

Sansa: I’m so f*#%ing high right now!

Iwon’twatchitIwon’tIwon’tIwon’t I’m supposed to be studying and I don’t want to be spoiled on more awesome stuff!!!

The Sansa in Winterfell stuff is worrying. She could detract from what is already a good storyline up there. Hope they pull it off but at this point in time it still seems non-sensicle.

no worries, crow every once in a while makes for a healthy diet

Trailer slayed me! Genuinely got thrills watching it, loved the Dany voiceover, recounting all the houses in contention. Stannis looked menacing, also love hearing Roose speak.

Was that Sansa lighting a candle in the company of her ancestors? WOW! Still a bit sceptical about her arc, but there’s some beauty in not knowing how it’ll play out.

Some people outright refused to acknowledge the possibility that Sansa could go to Winterfell

My question, where the hell is Sweet Robin? Did Sansa pawn him off on Anya Waynwood so she could go on vacation up North?

she takes the role of Wyman Manderly and delivers Frey Pies :).

This trailer is effing amazing! Omg, April 12, get here faster!!

Does “HBO continues to be in discussions with its existing network of distributors and new digital partners to offer HBO NOW” mean they’re trying to get deals done with Amazon and Google? Cuz this one is on the Google play train

I’m a healthy skeptic as well, but I have hat in hand. But the trailer is pretty damn good. It doesn’t look good for many characters. Does Brienne save Pod?

The trailer has way more action than both book 4 and 5 lol

Holy shit! That is one spectacular trailer! Much better than the first one. I can’t stop rewatching!

in Winterfell. Shit. Don’t know what to think.

Awesome trailer. I am intrigued by the scene of Sansa lighting candles in the crypts. Dany’s “wheel” speech has improved. Lots of Daario which is a good thing.

YESSSSSSSS TORMUND! THIS IS WHAT I’M TALKING ‘BOUT!!!!! Give them hell, babe!

KHALLEEEEEEEEESSSSIIIIIIIIIIII! Drogon / Dany scene looks quite awesome.

Dillane rocks all his shots. The time to look bad ass pissed and tighten those jaws has come! Beware all ye who face The True King of Westeros.

It’s Olyvar that Loras is taking a swing at 1:09.

Exciting!!!! Much better than the last trailer.

This cost is LESS than it costs to just get HBO from a cable company. That’s NUTS! I feel like I’m getting hosed at the current price.

I hear some nerd debates. This image is pretty cool and seems to be official. I’d call it a HUGE spoiler.

This trailer is nuts. In a good way. (Thank you for the HQ You-Tube!)

want to know what Brienne and Sansa are up to. (Cigars to the Sansa-returns-to-Winterfell predictors, congrats!)

Tyrion finally sees a dragon. . .and he likes it.

And Margaery doesn’t seem to be enjoying being queen. At all.

. . .the new season of the Emmy®-winning True Detective with Vince Vaughn, Colin Farrell and Rachel McAdams;. . .

Slightly OT, I’d really like to see Rory McCann get a starring role in this series.

I’d say it’s a contender for best trailer, this and the season 2 “Seven Devils” trailer.

That’s from last year’s calendar and as far as I can tell, is an illustration of the “Mhysa” scene.

Trailer is awesome though (although I’m worried about Sansa’s plotline). Dany’s “break the wheel” line is way, way better in context.

where are now all those non belivers who tought Sansa wouldnt go to Winterfell but spend a season on AFFC/DWD inspired filler material going down a cliff for 5 episodes?

Selyse on the ground in the snow crying, want to know what THAT’s about!

You love that? I never knew you hated the source material so much

Lots of great stuff from this trailer. I tried to piece together new info we have learned from this by storyline:

Jon: mostly just confirmation of what we already knew. You can’t see anyone besides Tormund accompanying him to Hardhome but that doesn’t mean there won’t be more known characters there. Looks like he’s talking to Olly at CB when he gives the “Winter is coming” speech.

Stannis: Quick shot of him mounted up and looking like he’s ready to march on Winterfell. Also a shot of Mel looking worriedly at something at CB and the strange shot of a distraught Selyse on the ground which could be something to do with Shireen or maybe something entirely different.

Winterfell: Sansa’s there in the crypts and we also see a Vale contingent riding into Winterfell courtyard to be received by the Boltons. Quick shot of Ramsay nuzzling with Myranda who doesn’t seem to be a fan of the attention.

Brienne/Pod: Extra shot of them sparring in the Riverlands woods with random Vale knights which is a continuation of them being chased in 1st trailer. Then a shot of her bringing her sword down on something outside the Riverlands Inn we’ve also seen in 1st trailer (chopping block or well?) And finally, the most intriguing shot is her and Pod somewhere in the middle of the snow (ie the North). No idea why she would be going there but that would appear to shut down speculation of her running into the BwB I would think. Perhaps she pursues Sansa to Winterfell in order to save her or maybe they decide to go the Wall. Who knows?

King’s Landing: Cersei and the High Sparrow presiding over a hearing with Olyvar/Loras where Loras doesn’t appear happy with the result. This is probably Cersei’s way of getting out of her marriage pact and a union she makes with the Faith. Loras getting arrested for being gay falls in line with the Faith Militant MO. Also we get the scene where Tommen presumably tries to get Cersei released from the FM and is rejected. Lots more shots of Margaery, Cersei, the High Sparrow etc but no more new info.

Dorne: Barely any Dorne stuff, just more extended scene of Bronn fighting when he and Jaime first get there.

Tyrion: Could be fancy editing but it sure looks like he gets a glimpse of Drogon in the mist while he’s on a boat, echoing the S5 poster. Also, the scene where the potential pit fighters audition for the slavers (this must be where Mr.Eko and Yezzan run the auction) gets a lot more screentime and you can see in a shot that Dany’s in the background watching the proceedings so it’s possible it’s her and not Hizdahr who purchase Tyrion at this point. And we get a great shot of the bridge at Volantis, can’t forget that.

Dany: Tons of Harpy stuff and lots of Daario. No clues as to what happens to Barristan later in the season. Her meeting with Drogon could also be a quick meet cute before Daznak or that could be him dropping her off at the Pyramids (instead of the Dothraki Sea) after Daznak. Also have no idea who the brunette girl is encircled by Essos slaves/peasants with their hands outstretched, stumped on that one.

I mean I think it’s safe to assume that’s the Winterfell crypts but I guess it’s possible it’s not. If she goes up there as Alayne then it makes more sense but I hope they let the fArya story drop or just have Myranda as her only change her to being unsmpathetic ( no chance Theon would save someone who helped torture him and has lied to him so much if he wouldn’t even trust his own sister!) . It could possibly work if she goes up incognito ( although I’m still struggling to see why she’s being put in harms way like that) and perhaps someone finds out (perhaps Myranda?). Theon (Sansa is one of the few characters left that can remind him of who he used to be) has to kill that person to keep her identity safe and perhaps escape with her. I dunno, it’s still pretty messy for me. Sansa replacing fArya would make little sense for me. Ramsay who is now the heir to the north could marry Myranda as the wedding itself is pretty much a plot device to gather characters in a certain place. Hmmm we shall see. On the plus side, good to see Jamie getting stuck in on the combat side of things. For perhaps the greatest living swordsman in the books to have been underrepresented as such in the show has always irked me! The subtle dyslexia conversation about him between Tywin and Arya seems to be bearing fruit!

More Ramsay S&M on the horizon! Ramsay’s sadistic bedwarmer Myranda could prove dangerous if Sansa’s in Winterfell.

“Lannister. Baratheon. Stark. Tyrell. They’re all just spokes on a wheel. This one’s on top, then that one’s on top and on and on it spins. Crushing those on the ground. I’m not going to stop the wheel. I’m going to break the wheel.”

“Stannis Baratheon has an army at Castle Black. He means to take the North.”

“Winter is coming, and we know what’s coming with it. We can learn to live with the Wildlings, or we can add them to the army of the dead.”

“We serve the Gods, and the Gods demand justice.”

“Clean this city out, until the rats have nowhere left to hide.”

“All rulers are either butchers … or meat.”

That’s an amazing trailer. And I dare say the person who posted on this very site the stuff about Hardhome looks to be telling the truth, based on this trailer. Wow. That’s going to be a really cool scene.

Oh yes! So excited right now. Cant wait!

Perhaps Melisandre is having her sacrificed and Selyse is getting cold feet, no pun intended?

“Lannister. Baratheon. Stark. Tyrell. They’re all just spokes on a wheel. This one’s on top, then that one’s on top and on and on it spins. Crushing those on the ground. I’m not going to stop the wheel. I’m going to break the wheel.”

“Stannis Baratheon has an army at Castle Black. He means to take the North.”

“Winter is coming, and we know what’s coming with it. We can learn to live with the Wildlings, or we can add them to the army of the dead.

“We serve the Gods, and the Gods demand justice.”

“Clean this city out, until the rats have nowhere left to hide.”

Abyss, you gifsetmaster. This is the trailer you were born to gif.

I need to watch this a few more (hundred) times, but it’s a really cool trailer! At least there’s

evidence of Sansa in Winterfell, too —those are definitely the crypts of Winterfell. Now, I only hope she’s not there instead of Jayne Poole but as part of a Vale delegation, substituting some of the Northern lords in terms of the plot.

The first CGI shot of King’s Landing was wonky as shit, though, especially compared to last years’. Hope they tighten it up.

BTW, that is definitely Drogon. In stark contrast to previous seasons, they haven’t got fewer scenes with the dragons than the books, but more. So, Drogon visits him at night? Presumably not long before the “big event.”

You don’t have anyone to lord your “told you so” over?! LOL

But we are all here!!! Go ahead, say it. I won’t mind, I’m eating my cookies.

(And praying to Rhllor she’s not marrying Ramsey!)

Here’s my problem with Daenerys. They’ve totally destroyed her arc. When she’s in Slaver’s Bay, she’s torn apart between two identities: The Mother of Dragons and Mhysa. The ‘Mother of Dragons’ identity is violent, barbaric, a true Targaryen; on the other hand, her ‘Mhysa’ identity is forgiving, kind and caring. She chooses Mhysa and frees all the slaves, she tries to protect them, to end violence, but sometimes her ‘Mother of Dragons’ identity takes over her, like when she kills all the masters. When she’s in the Dothraki Sea after Daznak’s Pit, she realizes she needs to go home, back to Westeros, and adopts her ‘Mother of Dragons’ identity to the fullest. How can the show’s Daenerys have this revelation if in the past two seasons all she talks about is Westeros?!

Did the high Septon say ‘we serve the Gods‘ as in plural? Surely this puritan gentleman of all people should know of ‘The Seven who are one’ .

I would guess Olly. The person has lighter hair, and judging by the angles, appears to be shorter than Kit. Plus I have my doubts that Jon would be lecturing Maester Aemon in dealing with Wildlings.

Overall? This trailer just kills it. It’s completely insane, including a hell of a lot of blood. And I’m finding myself totally flummoxed on some of the story lines, which makes it even more awesome.

Thanks for the summary. I am at work and could only watch once.

Thanks for reminding me about Mr. Eko. I keep forgetting that he was cast. I doubt that it will be a pivotal role but I am eager to see him.

I can’t tell for sure but it looks like Myranda is not enjoying Ramsay’s ‘attentions’ so perhaps she will be a little more fleshed out this season and not just Ramsay’s female counterpart in all dreadful things. The character has demonstrated she is a sadist so there’s that… but the actress Charlotte Hope could be quite good if they actually gave her something to do. I want to know if Myranda thinks Ramsay truly loves her or if she goes along with his whims as a means of survival.

I liked how so many people said that the Sansa in Winterfell thing wasn’t going to happen and that it was ludicrous to even suggest it. And yet here we are with a freakin’ trailer with her down in the crypts. Hehe…

On the trailer itself though, I cannot do anything but clap. This is, hands down the best Game of Thrones trailer so far. There’s so much exciting stuff in this trailer. And also, the scale seems to be enormous this season! Just that shot of Drogon flying above Tyrion for instance. That was insane! I’m so absurdly excited about what promises to be the best season yet, that I think I’m going a little crazy over here!

HBO NOW will be available exclusive I the US. On Apple TV and App Store sadly

Stannis, Roose and High Sparrow. I’m getting really, really excited about the season.

So it looks like Loras is getting arrested for sleeping with Olyvar since he’s the guy sitting in the witness chair ,

i guess we know which KL character is toast this season

Wow don’t get me wrong, That storyline in the last book was probably one of my favorites, I just think the change they’ve made will make more impact in both Sansa and Theon’s storylines, because they know each very well so it makes it way more emotional, and since they completly erased the Jeyne poole character out of the series it makes even more sense, otherwise it would just be another girl no one cares about being tormented by Ramsay. But I still I think she will be able to take some revenge by doing the biding of our “lord too fat to sit on a horse” so if I had to guess, It will half torment half satisfaction, yes because I also do not believe she will be able to control Ramsay anytime.

Ok, this trailer looks AMAZING. I’m really excited, even about those plots that bored me to bits in the books. Well done, HBO!

Totally agree. Game of Thrones has released some truly great trailers before (“Seven Devils” comes to mind, although that one was elevated by the music). But based purely on visual flair and the thrill that I felt as I was watching it, I legitimately think that this particular trailer may be the best one that they’ve ever done. The potential for this season is so high it’s off the charts entirely. Here there be dragons.

Shade: getting that he was cast. I doubt that it will be a pivotal role but I am eager to see him.

Did you miss the part last season when she chains up the dragons, re-decides to not kill the Yunkai masters, from the trailer telling Daario that she isnt a butcher when he no doubt encourages her to purge the masters and Harpy, clearly she is going to be grappling with the type of leader she wants to become, the peacemaker or all fire and blood on everyone. The show has actually made this inner dilemma quite obvious, including Barristans and Jorahs advice to her last season.

Pretty sure we got a glimpse of the Sand Snakes conducting the

He’s in the new BBC2 series Banished about British criminals exiled to Australia in 1788. Not starring but he’s in the ensemble at least.

where is this place ? is it the place where dany put reghal and viserion ?

Some passageway in Dorne by the look of it. Those are the Snakes in their armour.

Does “HBO continues to be in discussions with its existing network of distributors and new digital partners to offer HBO NOW” mean they’re trying to get deals done with Amazon and Google? Cuz this one is on the Google play train

HBO Now is exclusive to Apple in the United States for no less than three months. Other countries are still being discussed.

looks like the same place where some soldiers have spears on Ellaria in the trailer

Sansa’s role in Winterfell – intriguing – (I still think she’s there to fuck shit up. I just can’t see her as a victim after all the talk about Dark/Goth/Possible child killer Sansa).

Roose Bolton’s voice – divine. Jon’s line – well delivered.

Dany’s booty call’s line – as philosophical as a cartoon.

Brienne and Pod’s determination – more future trouble.

KL = Jonathan Pryce. Jonathan Pryce. Jonathan Pryce.

Arya’s face – precious murderous child.

VOLANTIS!!! (at 0:15 – the massive bridge seen before Varys/Tyrion)

As I said in my comment, that’s the Sand Snakes in Dorne.

That’s Dorne , it’s clearly the shadows of the 3 sand snakes

Very cool! The show might do better than the last novel at getting everything together, who would have thought it.

King Tommen: Also have no idea who the brunette girl is encircled by Essos slaves/peasants with their hands outstretched, stumped on that one.

Actually, there is brief a shot in the trailer where there’s a few boats rowing towards Hardhome. If you pause in that shot, you can quite clearly see both Edd and Sam behind Jon and Tormund.

I like that. It could be a cool way to wrap together certain themes, if not actual scenes, from the source material.

The most interesting thing would be that it would require Reek making a choice to not tell the Boltons who she is, which would sort of parallel decisions he makes in the books… reclaiming his Theon-ness and whatever.

You know what also would have been cool is actually dramatizing storylines that actually occur in the actual books, but I digress…

The music is from Assassin’s Creed Unity sountrack.

I know they are the sand snakes I mean the place looks like the place where dany kept her dragons so I thought the three of them went to bring our hearts desire “”please ignore this””

Good catch. The Hardhome production stills previously released seemed to indicate they’d be there so not a huge shocker but nice to get a quick glance at them.

What we can see of the Volantene architecture is a very interesting choice. Most depictions are way more inspired by South Asian architecture. This looks… European Gothic, at least partially, which I didn’t expect at all.

Brienne is in the North and where is Pod and who cares about all the rest in comparison!

Whoo hooo, what a day to come home from the cruise…

Looks like Jorah with a helmet right after sansa scene!

He looks quite small. Maester Aemon is small, I give you that but from his stature, I’m leaning towards Olly.

Edit: Where on earth did I get Guymon from? Smh, I meant Olly.

Good call – the light hair threw me

Anyone got any idea what the 1.22 scene is about?

Or what the 0:44 banners are? They seem red and black and it’s vale men riding in so I’m guessing Grafton? or Bolton but that would just be silly

Absolutely! Looks so amazing! So packed with intriguing content! And yes, here there be dragons.

Brienne and Pod in heavy snow is what confuses (and excites!) me the most, really.

Selyse be a bait and switch for Shireen in the flames. Shireen was born in salt and smoke, and will wake the stone dragons she dreams of . Selyse is a Queen, and [\spoiler] there is magic in Royal blood….

Yes. The Hardhome stuff looks pretty freaking badass this season!

So, where does Stannis end Season 5? Will we have the Battle after all? His seasonal arc has to end on a big note.

There’s pretty much three types of figurines on Stannis’ battle table. Bolton ones, ones I don’t recognize … and ones, that kinda remind me of LF’s mockingbird, albeit a bit stretched. (Yea, I pretty much I agree with the person, who said (not sure if here) that LF and Sansa will take on Manderly’s role … Not sure how will Theon factor into that, tho.)

Those are Vale men riding into Winterfell (at least so it seems). Sansa is in Winterfell too, so that’s my best guess.

I’m not sure Brienne is in the North. I think maybe winter has finally come to the Riverlands, or perhaps the Vale, and that’s why she gets the “winter is coming” voiceover.

Definitely the best looking tv show ever, by a long shot. Even if I was gritting my teeth during Emilia’s monologue.

Awesome awesome awesome!! So much speculation confirmed. Glad we got more hints towards Stannis’s arc!

Well we have ..a… battle of some sort — there was that GoT exhibit video of him in armor with blood spattered on him

Thanks for the info. Don’t have BBC2 but hopefully when it’s on DVD I’ll check it out.

I wonder whose camp is on fire at :38… looks somewhat like Stannis and Davos running?

From what we’ve seen this season is going to be incredibly action-packed. Just hoping and praying that Theon’s leap of faith is kept in some form.

Regarding a potential stannis battle scene, the only clue we’ve had is a bloody-faced Stephen dillane in the pledge your allegiance vid, I think it will be off-screen.

…strange shot of a distraught Selyse on the ground which could be something to do with Shireen or maybe something entirely different.

I think Selyse is either watching certain events leading up to FtW or the FtW act itself. Perhaps Shireen is involved in a critical event (a mutiny victim?) that happens as Jon returns from Hardhome? I will shed many tears if something happens to Shireen though. I always thought that S&S would be quite vulnerable after Stannis left.

Anyone has any idea what’s that camp on fire at 00:38?

Looks like Davos and maybe Stannis, but I can’t be sure. If that’s the case, I have absolutely no idea what it could mean.

BTW, this trailer has quite a few lines based on the books, or even taken directly from the books, which the first trailer didn’t have.

Oh, and first glimpse into the interior of the House of Black and White, though out of focus, unfortunately.

That may be the best trailer for any season that I’ve ever seen.

Anyone has any idea what’s that camp on fire at 00:38?

Looks like Davos and maybe Stannis, but I can’t be sure.

Who is the woman at 01:22? It’s not a main actor, is it? Everyone seems to be… worshipping her? Whatever it is, it takes place at the Long Bridge of Volantis. Red robes… a red priestess maybe?

There seems to be a trial with the High Sparrow arguing against a very scruffy Loras, with Olyvar present as a witness (as many guessed), and Marg, Tommen, Olenna and Cersei present.

That trailer was incredible. Epicness dial turned up to 11/10.

At this rate we’ll have only 5 storylines at the end of the season. Even season 1 had more.

Winterfell (including Boltons, Stannis, and now Sansa and probably Brienne) King’s Landing

Dorne (and it will begin to look empty as Jaime and Sand Snakes leave)

and Stannis, Davos and Mel will be in Winterfell. Sam will probably leave at some point too.

Man this trailer could have been soooo good if they only cut all the Dany lines.

There’s not even any snow in Winterfell at this point in the show. I hardly think you’re going to see a blizzard-covered Riverlands this season. Brienne and Pod have to be pretty far North to be that engulfed in snow.

Also, with LF in King’s Landing and Sansa in Winterfell, the Vale will have no action outside of the introductory run-in between Brienne and Sansa in E1/E2 (as should be the case).

Tyrion, stop looking up at that Drogon! You’re going to miss the

It looks like i was right. That Sansa will go to winterfell with a vale contingent and maybe she will bring Ramsay Farya. She will most likely take on manderly’s role. I also hope drogon gets a lot bigger by the daznak scene because its supposed to be shocking how much hes grown.

a crow flies on a flayed mans body in the trailer….PLEASE DON’T BE STANNIS’ ARMY!!!!!

You don’t have anyone to lord your “told you so” over?! LOL

But we are all here!!! Go ahead, say it. I won’t mind, I’m eating my cookies.

i have but i dont remember the names of the people i had the discussion with.

Not everyone has a snappy nickname like mine, easy to remember ….

HBO Go will still work for HBO subscribers on the devices they already use. HBO Now is a new service that allows you to subscribe to HBO without a cable subscription and is a timed exclusive for Apple devices.

Another trailer with no 1080p source, by the way? Sigh… Come on, this is clearly the best trailer of them all —all seasons, and we don’t have it at its proper quality?

i really want someone to figure out the 2 other battle chess pieces

I like how they just used a simple soundtrack for this one. As much as I love the “edgy alternative female singer” thing, it was kind of getting old. This makes it feel a lot more cinematic.

Probably the best Thrones trailer yet? My god, that was great

One looks like a torpedo (lol), the other is a a warrior / statue looking thing

None of them seem to be as good quality as the original. https://twitter.com/iTunesTV/status/574981199099076608

Boats for the Iron Born? And maybe just soldiers for Stannis’s men.

It’s not high quality because all the YouTube videos are rips of the “exclusive” iTunes trailer, which you can watch here: http://trailers.apple.com/trailers/independent/gameofthrones/

Jon Snow will become, or join, the White Walkers if the rumors are true.

Is that a wights hand punching through the wall at Hardhome? (at 0:52)

Why all the Dany hate? I’ve never understood that…

So it looks like Loras is getting arrested for sleeping with Olyvar since he’s the guy sitting in the witness chair ,

That, or maybe they’re using Olyvar to fill in Osney Kettleblack’s testimony? Hard to see, but it looks like the sparrows grab him

he lunges toward Olyvar. Otherwise, I don’t know what already existing character they could use for Osney’s testimony. And they seem to prefer re-using characters rather then introduce new ones all the time.

I can’t tell you how painful it is to not watch this trailer.

three guys on the ground aren’t thralls: the last third from the left has a harpy on his back

I already wrote several posts on westeros.org about the new trailer, with hundreds of :bowdown: and :drool: emoticons, but I need to say it here again:

OMG, HOLY FUCKING HELL! That. Was. Amazing!!!

Maybe the best trailer so far, just WOW!

So much craziness and awesomeness right now, I’m still hyperventilating – Stannis, Stannis, STANNIS!

I can’t breath; Hot, badass Stannis, Roose dreading Stannis, Stannis now risking eveything – I love it! /drool

And Dany’s line was now -with context- so much better and actually damn cool!

Volantis’ Long Bridge looks absolute amazing!

And Pryce is already ruling and nailing it as High Sparrow!

Jon Snow will become, or join the White Walkers if the rumors are true.

If thats true he will surely be the most depressing crybaby Whitewalker ever.

It’s a very busy day, I decide to pop in and quickly see what, if any, new news there is, and find this!?!

I can’t even think of what to say, at the moment, other than…

I think it’s Mhysa (albeit not quite as it was in the books)

I think Loras is arrested for being at a whorehouse during the city raid and Olyvar is then later testyfing that yeah, that was totally his favorite customer. This won’t end well.

Loras=Marg on the show. I think the “technical” virginity stuff is totally out as not really sellable with show!Marg. Maybe she’ll later be implicated for adultery though.

Good point! I hope it is, it would a be an intense finale

Actually I thought it was Ramsay, similar hairstyle, perhaps early on Ramsay visits

Lighting my cigar right now….. *cough*…. ughhh tastes horrible :p

I hope that she’s up to something rather than being just a wedding guest. I’d love her to take some of Manderley’s storyline because nobody would suspect her since she’s just Littlefinger’s niece and she should get around her home unnoticed since she would know it better than anybody else.

bridge architecture, nice nod to the Ponte Vecchio. <3

Dany’s lines were great and I loved the trailer so much!

Did I already say how amazing and stunning and cool and badass and hot Stannis is looking?

And Dany's last shot where she's looking up to Drogon, wow!

Never understood either and love her character. Looking forward to next season and everything which is happening in Meereen.

BTW the Volantene slaves reaching out to the woman (whose potentially a red priestess) have little tattoos on their right cheekbones. Nice little details there.

This trailer convinced me now that this season is going to be the best one, even with all the cuts and omissions and stuff!

Thank God you have those too! I thought I was the only one who had full-blown nerd seizures. I was getting worried tbh.

A question here because the monitor on my work computer is old and lacks clarity…

It looks like Sansa in the WF crypts has dark hair and the necklace that she wore in the Vale last season. If so, then does she not go as Sansa but as Alayne?
