So exciting! Loads to see.



It seems Jon is going to Hardholme



Arya arriving at the House of Black and White



Cersei's WOS



Margaery and Tommen's wedding



Cersei seems to have adopted a baby alien



Jorah fighting in an arena



Release of the dragons?



The place with the palms is probably Sunspear



Who's that girl cutting her finger? And those two girls walking hand in hand?

Not sure if i like this. Definitely weaker than the past 3 trailers

Weaker, really? Just wait until we get the proper HD version, this version is a lousy cam from the theater. I thought it was much more exciting than any of the several trailers last year... The only thing I didn't like about it was the music and some too quick shots in the end. But you can never please everyone when choosing the music.

It didn't have the best picture quality - but I'm sure we'll get other trailers of better definition the closer we get to the season 5 airdate.



Picture quality aside, there was a lot going on in this trailer. Though it did seem to be a little jittery & all over the place. People who like to analyse every frame will have a lot to mull over, but - and this is just my opinion here - it made it a little unfocused.



It didn't dull my excitement for the forthcoming season & I did like the use of the David Bowie song.

There's just too much stuff going on so fast. It's great for people who like to pause and analyze frame by frame, but as a trailer I think it lacks focus.

I'm ready for an HD version out so I can pause it and get better views!

I'm just wondering if that one place is Hardhome or Eastwatch-by-the-Sea? I'm thinking Hardhome

For the first time I felt like I didn't actually know what was happening in a season's trailer. Granted, I have only read Dance once and could refresh myself on some details, but I wonder (and speculate that it will be the case) if this season will be the furthest removed yet from the source material. Based off this trailer, anyway.

Devastated that the intelligent Aegon arc has been replaced with Daenerys. And ruler whom Varys would never invest in in a million winters.

Did the same thing ADWD. Illiryio talked up Dany to Tyrion in Pentos, never mentioned Aegon. Same thing in the trailer. GOT likes to use deception in their trailers, this is it. This does not prove in any way that Aegon is out. Also somebody posted it in another thread: everybody wants to know what Varys is trying to do in the show (unsullied). Why in the hell would they divulge that information in a trailer? If anything this likens seeing Aegon in season 6 and hints of him in season 5. Don't jump to conclusions, they would never give up major plot points in a trailer 3 months from the premier.

Why would Varys send Tyrion to aid Daenerys? He's basically on Team Blackfyre and supports (f?)Aegon's claim to the IT. Why would he want to aid one of his opposition?

Seriously, because he also did it in the books? He wants to fortify Aegons claim by marrying him to Dany and her dragons.

It was pretty deceiving, for a minute I also thought, oh they dropped Aegon.

Thanks for the long list of scenes! I do think the 'and this is what remains is not about Arya but about Cersei and her walk of shame: if you strip away all the gold and something else, this is what remains.

One thing: in the pit, Dany is without Tyrion (there have been set photo's of them together at the pit). So maybe we will not see them together after all?

That beard looks pretty hot!

It's been a while since I've read the books, but did he specifically send Tyrion to do it or was it someone else?
