Picking apart the new ‘Game of Thrones’ trailer frame by glorious frame

We are less than two months out from the return of Game of Thrones. Fans have been living in anticipation for what the new season holds in store for favorite characters and hate villains alike. George R.R. Martin”s The Winds of Winter is still being polished, which means no one knows what fate has in store for the Starks, the Targaryens, or even the Boltons. The show”s history would imply the ruthless and cruel will win the day, but the tide must turn eventually right?

Right????

Today Game of Thrones released the red band trailer for Season Six. Maybe I”ve become numb to what makes something “adult” but ladies kissing and flayed men burning just don”t strike me as needing a red band warning. Check it out then meet me below to parse this sucker for clues!

WARNING: SPOILERS AND SPECULATION FOR GAME OF THRONES BEYOND THIS POINT.

That was…a lot. Between the major plot beats and the single second quick cuts, the trailer covered a ton of ground. I won”t be pulling out every single thing. Just the moments that captured my interest. For example, Arya”s blindness won”t intrigue me until if/when she begins to unlock her warg powers. Come on, Nymeria.
