So the new trailer for Game of Thrones season 6 has just released and a lot of you guys
messaged me on Facebook and Twitter to let me know.
I thank you for that because I do rely on your messages to alert me to this stuff.
Before I begin a couple of things, first I really enjoyed this trailer.
I thought it was friggin' awesome.
I liked the tone, I like what we saw and I think it was much better than the first trailer
we got.
Second...for some reason HBO has made it a habbit of releasing their new trailers in
720p so if the picture quality looks bad?
it's not on my end.
For those of you wondering why that matters well...it's mainly because if the resolution
was higher we could catch a few more details in some of these scenes.
One example would be how some of you spotted Jon Snow in the first trailer on horseback.
It was blurry so all we really saw was a man with long hair but if it was in higher resolution
we could've seen a bit more detail to confirm or deny that it was him.
It does make a bit of difference.
And last, a couple of you have been wondering when I'm going to dish out my next GoT history
video and to that I say soon and who will it be on?
I'll leave the answer to that on my Facebook page.
It's an early sketch but so far I think it looks sexy.
Now without all that out of the way lets get to it
The first scene we get is showing us what's going on outside the room where Davos is protecting
Jon's body.
It seems that the traitors at Castle Black aren't just a handful of men but likely almost
all of them.
We can see here that they have crossbows aimed directly at the door, just in case one of
Jon's supporters runs out to attack.
If you saw my previous breakdown video of the small scene we got of the traitors trying
to breakdown the door then you know I subscribe to the theory that Ramsay ordered Jon Snow's
death because Sansa escaped and, in his mind, the only place she could possibly go to Castle
Black with her brother.
I believe Ramsay threatened to destroy the Watch if they do not kill Jon and hand over
his body as proof.
Some of you asked "then why did they just stab him and leave him to die?" for dramatic
affect I assume, that way the camera can focus in on him.
That and possibly to let him bleed out and yes I realize it would've been easier to just
cut his throat but whaddya gonna do.
Next we get Tormund and a voice over of him saying he thought Jon Snow would lead them
through the long night.
For those of you who don't know the long night is the event that happened when the white
walkers originally invaded the continent and they brought with them a night that never
ended.
I do like that Tormund has put a lot of his faith on Jon as a man but it seems like hes
talking to Davos or maybe someone else about his death...which means Tormund eventually
finds out about it.
Someone in the comment section says that maybe Edd runs off to find the wildlings to bring
them back to help and that makes sense.
It's probably why Wun Wun breaks down the door to Castle Black to get Jon's body
Next up we get a glimpse of Tyrion ruling Mereen in Dany's place.
It looks like some of the masters are asking him if he likes to play games and calls him
a little man.
We expected that when Tyrion stayed behind he would encounter some type of bullshit like
this and it holds true.
Not only does he have to deal with the Harpies but it also looks like a new red woman has
come.
I assume she was hoping to have an audience with the dragon queen.
The reason why I know that she is a follower of the lord of light is because she has that
devious smile and the clothes Melisandre usually wears.
The only thing missing is the overwhelming amount of nudity.
Next we get Jaime about to kick some ass with the High Sparrow asking him if he would spill
blood in a holy place, to which Jaime says that the Gods spill more blood than anybody.
Definitely a line I expect some athiests to use in the future.
We also get a glimpse of Drogon flying over the dothraki horde and in this one here...I
was a bit shocked.
Emilia Clarke is finally going to show some skin?
But that's impossible.
She has it in her contract to never ever show tity...Maybe now she has to ever since Terminator
Genesys bombed at the box office.
I would love it if that was how the negotiations turned out.
"Listen Miss.Clarke normally we would agree for you not to be nude but since your movie
bombed we expect you to at least a nipple or two and one ass cheek."
Now in this trailer we do get a bit more of Arya who is still blind.
The Faceless Men have agreed to give her another chance but it'll be the only one she gets.
I expect that by the end of the season she'll be one of their best recruits and maybe by
season 7 she'll finally be sent out on her first mission.
In the books shes still going through training and in the sneak peak chapter from book 6
that George gave us last year shes still in Bravos.
I assume she'll be there until the very last season or until the very last book.
Over here we have Sansa looking amazing as always and she finally has found refuge.
I expected that the showrunners enjoyed torturing her by pairing her up with Ramsay, would continue
to do so by putting her in dangerous situations.Judging by the clothes shes wearing she has met up
with Stark supporters which is good and hopefully we'll see more of her kicking ass this time
around.
I can't get a good look of whose shes with but it does seem she is with some allies and
not near any crazy psycho like in previous situations.
I mean I feel bad for her because of how much shes had to endure The only way it could get
any worse for her is if she ended up in a Donald Trump rally.
Next we have a surprise appearance of Walder Frey.
I'll say this now...I'm really starting to like this season mainly because we're getting
almost everybody back that we've seen before and we'll be able to catch up with them too.
If you paused at the right time you can see some Lannister soldiers in the feast.
Once again because it's not higher res you can't make out Jaime in there but I think
that's him right there.
I'm expected to see what Walder Frey will be doing but for those of you wondering why
Jaime is back in the Riverlands it's probably because Cersei sent him to root out the last
of the Stark loyalists.
I've heard that they're bringing back the blackfish too who is held up at Riverrun.
I'm surprised the showrunners are going to send Jaime to the Riverlands and keep with
the books and if Jaime is there...then that means we may get Lady Stoneheart.
Why?
well the next picture pretty much tells me there is a possibility.
You see here it looks like Brienne and Podrick are back in the Riverlands.
Now I don't want to spoil the books for anybody but let's just say...now that Brienne is here
and so is Jaime there is a strong possibility that they will be adapting that part as well.
I honestly thought that when Jaime went south and Brienne went North that they would never
meet up again but it seems like a definite possibility now.
Judging by the House Tully banner it looks like shes in Riverrun, the House Tully castle.
I assume shes either there after Jaime takes it over or maybe shes there to converse with
the blackfish.
The soldiers in the back don't have the Lannister helmet so its possible that the Blackfish
still holds Riverrun and shes there to talk to him.
Also before I move one, we get a nice fake out of someone choking Podrick but it just
looks like Bronn is messing with him.
If you pause at the right time you can see Bronn's hair.
Throughout the trailer we get a glimpse of scenes that were in the first one with a bit
more to them.
A better look at Jorah and how far the greyscale as gotten.
A better look at Yara who is waiting the arrival of her uncle Euron.
Either Jaime or the zombie mountain killing one of the sparrows.
a better look at Jaime with the Tyrell soldiers.
The Night's king and his horsemen of the apocolypse
and some fighting between a stark soldier and the Targaryen Kingsguard, clearly a vision
that Bran is having.
Some of you have questioned whether or not if that is a Targaryen Kingsguard but it looks
like the armor we've seen from the current kingsguard but with the Targaryen symbol.
It was changed to show their allegience to the Baratheons but here in the vision they're
fighting the ones still loyal to the mad king
and it also looks like the three eyed raven is able to enter Bran's vision like Jojen
was able to do.
Max Von Sydow is a great actor and hopefully they give him more to do than they did in
Star Wars Episode 7.
And before we close out I wanted to touch on Davos and the great battle in the north
between the wildlings and the boltons.
In this scene we see Davos with some Stark soldiers in the background.
I assume Davos will start going out to try and personally get the support of the Northern
lords, just like he did for Stannis.
In this scene here Davos is trying to convince someone of the coming threat of the white
walkers and that they need to stand together.
You can see the banners in the back and it looks like the sigil of either House Mormont
or possibly House Reed.
Here we get the typical House Bolton threat with the burning cross, possibly prisoners
of Stannis Baratheon being burned alive to demoralize their enemies.
And here if you pause at the correct time you can see Tormund running into battle with
one of the northern houses, House Cerwyn.
You can see their sigil, which is a battleaxe.
In this one where the Boltons have their shields up you can make out House Hornwood as well.
And last we have Tyrion telling Varys and Missandei that Dragons don't do well in captivity.
How does he know that?
because hes an intelligent alcoholic...like so many of us claim to be.
The trailer does a nice job of faking us out but I highly doubt they'll kill off Tyrion
through dragon fire.
Once again I believe that the other slave cities will rise up and take this oppertunity
to invade Mereen while the sons of the harpy are causing trouble.
Tyrion is probably trying to convince them to release the dragons if they are to survive
the siege.
So he's either there to release them or to get a closer look.
But yeah that was a pretty good trailer, like I said I enjoyed it.
It gave us a lot to look forward to and I would say this is one of the best GoT trailers
I've seen in a while.
My favorite having to be the season 4 trailer 'Cities lie in dust'.
I really liked that one a lot.
