Yeah, it's von Sydow. I know it's just a teaser to generate hype, but this could be a hint/confirmation that show!Bran does not need a weirwood to be present in order to see past events.

I'm not sure there's any new footage in this aside from the voice over. Think that Bran shot is recycled from the season 4 finale when he wargs into Hodor.
 
von Sydow is playing Bloodraven, right? Hopefully they put some more resources into his look than what they had at the end of season 4. That was terrible.

That's right, but it's the fact that it combines those two concepts. The weirdest inclusion there is Jaime's hand getting lopped off, but I guess it's just a compilation of "shock" moments.

Yup. Continuity be dammed. I don't care if people are confused that he looks totally different, he should never have looked like some old geezer slumped against a stack of twigs. That shit was a joke.

Most people probably don't even remember how he looked so it doesn't matter.
 
Actually Sansa knew very well what she in for, she was even informed of all the horrible things Ramsey did while that girl was bathing her and her answer was "I'm Sansa of house Stark, this is my home, and you can't frighten me".

I don't really know how to respond to this. It's pretty clear from everything after that that no, she had no idea what she was in for and wasn't at all prepared for it, but I can only guess we watched completely different shows. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

"That was it?! That was it?!" - me after the teaser

I know the first GoT teasers are always like this, and we are about five months out, but damn!
 
Weird choice of clips to put into that, did I see Littlefinger putting the moves on Sansa in there?

Still, better than the craptacular teasers we got last year. At least this one doesn't feel like it was together on someone's lunch break.
 
Season starts with Bran flashback

In fact, they will use the flashback to recap the ending of last season. Then Bran will see the future and fate of Jon Snow (and maybe other things).

I except the "They have no idea..." piece to be in the first 5 minutes.

Speculation
Yeah I'm thinking it's Bloodraven saying that we can see past, present, and future. You can't change the past, but you can influence the future.

I would bang a hot farmer!
I'm more excited about Westworld.

And for those who don't watch iZombie:

Ramsay front and center, good to see.*

* Disclaimer: I do not like the attention given to Ramsay Bolton as a character because though he serves as nothing more than an influence on Theon's character in the books, he is given precedence over Theon and Sansa Stark in the show. He has been elevated above and beyond other, more central characters coz hes a baddie. This is not a 20 Good Men joke, before anyone starts complaining.

Also, here are the shots if you don't want to sit through the whole thing.

I see they've given the main character the most time in the preview.

If I get downgraded to a minor side villain who appears for a couple scenes in one or two episodes imma smack D&D.

I 100% think Euron will be lucky to get half of Ramsay's screen time next season. They are just planting the seeds with him to develop him into the post-Ramsay bad guy for season 7.

Maybe Bran will have visions of Catelyn as well and arrange for the brotherhood revive her too.

If I did the special edition blu Rays I would totally do boltons...I am a hipster for the most hated characters on the show though

They are not great, actually. They aren't fully decked in the colors of each heraldry so that is gonna fuck up my collection. God damn it.

I'd go with the Bolton one. It was the year of the Boltons, for better or worse.

Also, fuck Dorne and you could probably get a Targ cover for every single season.

I'll be honest, the Boltons on the show would have been a great antagonistic house if they weren't handed everything on a silver platter.

The tension of Roose and co trying to hold everything together in ADWD was some of the best stuff in the book.

Really hoping they get a semblance of that with the Northern Houses this season. But judging from the leaks...ehh
