I've combined the two short TOJ clips into one gif and slowed it down to 25%. Ned on the left in the first shot, and possibly Gerold Hightower swinging his two swords in the second? (I'm basing that on the assumption that being known for his strength, he'd wield either a broadsword or two longswords, as is the case here).
I don't think so. In the other gif, we can see both Ned on the left, and a guy with very similar hair to Ned behind him with a shield. The guy being knocked over also has a shield.

I wonder if that scene will actually, literally show "HEY GUYS JON SNOW IS RHEAGAR AND LYANNA'S SON AND NOT NED STARK"
Just a bit miffed the mystery will be revealed in a show and not in the books
Man this like just retroactively ruined my day. I had forgotten about that bit of character assassination there - buried it deep. Now it hurts all over again.
Maybe that happens in the books (eventually) but the way they did it last season just seemed cruel (and achieved nothing).

Ned will promise lyanna and then it'll cut to the baby. Then the shot of the babies face will fade into present tense Jon while being reborn.

I freeze framed it, and it's Euron not Theon, check out his mutton chops. Guessing it's his welcome back to the Iron Islands.

Not sure if this has been commented on yet, but if you look at blurred out Jon in this shot... his eyes are open and I -think- looks the same as during skinchanging on the show? Plus Ghost is present. I thought they were gonna skip that in the show, but if it's still in i'm happy.
It's nowhere near clear his eyes are open, I would say they are closed.

Gah, you know what I'm looking again and I think you're right. I'm probably being fooled by the blur.
I think it'll have tons of stuff going on. Books 4 & 5 were slower because Martin was moving everyone in position after The War with the Five Kings. Now that we're largely past that stuff, you're going to see a real push toward the conclusion. At least I think so. We'll see.
We still don't know if we have two or three seasons left.
Posting this in here rather than the other thread:
If he is R'hllor's chosen where is his burning sword, where is Lightbringer?
Could've been removed for the trailer.
I think there was slow-down in order for Martin to keep outpacing the show as well. Now that it's not going to happen, I can see the show moving steadily forwards. Wasn't Bran removed from S5 because they ran outta book material? Now they can safely diverge from GRRM.

that seams like some awful casting I thought Euron is supposed to be rather good looking
and I still can't believe they are going to do the whole northern rebellion thing just without Stannis role in it, just feels like pissing on the character while he is already dead and buried

I am more excited for the Walking Dead than S6 of Game of Thrones...I was watching this and felt just an okay...Bran and the Night King look interesting, although it's probably a green dream.

True, but there's definitely a Greyjoy family resemblance there.

Jon on horseback.
I believe D&D and the writers would reply to your comment or anything similar to the way Kevin Nash responded to all the Finger Poke of Doom criticisms. "You're supposed to feel that way!" without any realization on why we reacted the way we did and how stupid the whole decision was to begin with.
Loras's characterization is inexcusable at this point and the Sparrow storyline is trying a wee too hard to conflate his situation with current day politics imo. Would be better if Loras was presented as a complete person, just saying.
It's awful casting for Theon's uncle to look like he is related to Theon?
Jon Snow-ish type figure riding on the horse
Anyone have some sort of link to a scene by scene analysis of the trailer? I'm all for spoilers.

I haven't read it yet but Neil Miller is pretty great on A Storm of Spoilers podcast.

Diverge? George has already told them what is happening in books 6 and 7, their will be differences like the show has always done and lines will be different as George hasn't written them yet but the story itself will not diverge.
John Dunbar
correct about everything
unless of course gurm did not tell them the whole truth, or he has changed his mind on how some things play out in the books. and the showrunners can just decide to ignore something.

Not much to go on but think it's just some random guy. He looks clean shaven. Plus trailers are very carefully put together. They're not going to put Jon alive in one.
The end beats and how you get there are vastly different things
That's a free space on GoT bingo.

Still that's end beats of characters, not just the end.

Get used to it. GRRM has no one to blame but himself.

It looks like Bolton soldiers catch up to her and Reek, and Brienne saves the day and kills them all.
