Dead Is Dead In Stunning New Game Of Thrones Season 6 Trailer

Holy hell. The brand new trailer for season 6 of Game Of Thrones has just landed, and it is quite a thing of beauty.

After leaving fans teetering horribly on a knife edge since the Night’s Watch and Olly the devil child dealt supposedly fatal blows to Jon Snow at the end of season 5, the new teaser launches by opening fresh wounds and reiterating that he’s definitely dead. Maybe.

There’s also huge hints at the impending vengeance of the Lannisters (and their fearsome new warrior), their clash with the fanatical Sparrows, Daenery’s captivity, Arya’s new-found blindness, the aftermath of Snow’s death and rather intriguingly, the suggestion of a huge return for Brann Stark. To say it’s going to be a busy season is something of an understatement.

Inevitably there are significant questions here, but the biggest focus has to be on the issue of Jon Snow. Obviously having two shots of his corpse in the trailer is a fairly substantial hint of the finality of his fate, but there’s still that nagging suspicion that it’s all a little too loud a protest.

Perhaps we’ll see him at the start dead, with the show then shifting away to its many other plot-threads before a massive cliffhanger at the end of the season suggesting he’s perhaps not quite as completely dead as we’ve been lead to believe.
