Boltons Never Die: ‘Game of Thrones’ Season 6 trailer finally drops

GOT3

At long last, HBO has finally released a REAL trailer for Game of Thrones Season 6. No more of those teaser trailers where everyone is deader than dead and their dead face-masks are posed in the Hall of Faces. NO MORE. GoT’s Season 6 premieres on April 24th. Are you excited? Or are you just mad because Kit Harington keeps on saying words that are completely untrue? Well, behold! A proper trailer for Season 6.

Random thoughts:

Is that the Tower of Joy in a flashback?

I’m already totally over Cersei’s budget wiglet.

I will be so happy when Cersei dies. For real. She’s a terrible strategist.

I will also be so happy when Ramsey dies a horrible death.

I’m totally down for Melisandre and Davos teaming up as John Targaryen’s new entourage.

Jorah is fine, despite the fact that he has Greyscale & he keeps touching everything?

Dany looks exhausted. They really dirtied her up in a way we haven’t seen since season 2.

I’m glad the High Sparrow still has business to attend to and power to accumulate.

Is it wrong that I want Sansa to meet up with Littlefinger very quickly?

Tyrion, would bang.

The Mountain is BACK and he’s got a helmet to cover his zombie face.

Arya is still blind, until she’s not?

Brienne finally gets to kick some ass, hopefully.

Melisandre taking off her clothes again as she stands close to Jon Snow’s body… huh. Is her magical power centered in her boobs?

BRAN IS SO GROWN UP. And is he going to meet the Ice King/Knight’s King or whatever?

    Roose Bolton. Super hot.That voice.

    • mayamae says:

      I find all the older men are kind of hot on this show. I even appreciated Tywin – although I hated him.

      • Betti says:

        Yes, others can have the Jon Snows etc.. but I’ll have the hot older guys thank you very much. 😉

      • Chinoiserie says:

        Tywin was clearly the most attractive guy in the show, now its Jorah. Lol, I guess I like older men. Robb was pretty good looking too however…

      • Lilacflowers says:

        The magnificent Charles Dance is missed.

      • Sadezilla says:

        DADDISTER 4 LYFE! Charles Dance is a treasure.

      • HoustonGrl says:

        Me too!!

      • Aarika says:

        I was wondering if it was creepy that I find the old guys in this show super attractive. I LOVE Stannis. And Lord Baelish is another one…I guess their ruthlessness and power is appealing to me for some reason. I don’t even see token resident hunk Jon Snow that way.

      • tigerlily says:

        Me too. I would so bend the knee to Stannis

      • Caz says:

        oh thank goodness I’m not the only one.

        A certain type of voice gets me every time. I once had Walking With Dinosaurs on whilst doing housework just so I could listen to Kenneth Branagh’s voice.

        Cosign on every single older actor everyone else has named on this post.

        Jon Snow..meh.

      • Maddy says:

        I’ve got no problem with people finding older men/women attractive, but I find the whole ‘daddy’ thing utterly fking creepy.

        Maybe it’s because my daddy sexually abused me from age 6.

    • Jenns says:

      I was so conflicted when Roose was telling that story to Ramsey about how he was conceived. Because the story itself was terrible. But his voice makes me swoon…

    • Breakfast Margaritas says:

      Barristan Selmy’ s voice did it for me. So gravelly and mature dude sexy. He can call me Your Grace all night long. Netflix and Chill, Your Grace?

    • phlyfiremama says:

      I know. So MANY of the voices on that show give me weak knees. Bronn frigging kills me~so hot!!!

      • mytake says:

        Bronn – so hot right now. Swoon……..love that guy! (How crazy good is GOT that they got us rooting for a paid assassin!)

  2. GoodNamesAllTaken says:

    Yeah, what’s with Jorah touching everything? I thought grayscale was completely contagious. He claims to love Dany but he exposes her to this deadly disease about twenty times already?
    Melisandre’s body doesn’t go with her face.
    The wall of faces reminded me of how many hot men have died on this show. Very few left.
    I want to kill Ramsey myself.

    • lilacflowers says:

      We could probably make a great deal of money auctioning off the chance to kill Ramsey.

      • Betti says:

        Oh yes. But I feel for the poor actor, everyone wants to take a shot at his character but I guess it’s also a compliment as he’s clearly embodied the character.

      • Lilacflowers says:

        He is also in the comedy Vicious with Ian McKellan and Derek Jacobi and that character is sweet, kind, and adorable, so yes, it is a compliment to him that his Ramsey is so despised

    • Chinoiserie says:

      Greyscale is contagious, but we do not know how advanced it has to be to be contagious, it might have to cover you to be transmitted. It is also quite slow. And in the books it is not trasmited by objects, however it seems to be in the show since Shireen got it from a doll.

    • Nance says:

      Maybe it’s just contagious when the grayscale touch the skin.

      • ells9824 says:

        Nah. Remember when Stannis was telling Sherene that she caught it from a doll he brought her? I’m such a nerd.

    • mayamae says:

      Maybe it’s only contagious in the area affected, which seems to be his inner wrist.

    • nicole says:

      I’m wondering if Dany is immune to grayscale but will somehow transfer it to her dragons so their skin hardens so they will not be harmed by arrows, spears, fire, etc.

  3. Linn says:

    And of course, even in such a short trailer they had to put in a (completely made up iirc) lesbian sex scene between Theon’s sister and whoever that other girl is.
    Because clearly Melisandre’s boobs are not enough female nudity already.

    • Tanguerita says:

      if you don’t like it – don’t watch it. Noone makes you to.

      • Linn says:

        So because I have ONE very reasonable point to criticize I can’t watch the whole show? That sounds like pretty dumb black and white thinking.

        There are a lot of thinks I like about the show and I find it overall pretty entertaining, but that doesn’t mean I will sweep it’s flaws/problems under the carpet.

        I’m so sick of this whole “Don’t you ever dare to say anything negative at all” culture that seems to be so widespread these days.

      • tegteg says:

        I agree with Linn here, and she’s allowed to voice her opinion/criticism – just like anyone else is.

  4. Size Does Matter says:

    I choose violence.

    Love it.

    • mayamae says:

      Cersei always chooses violence. It’s why she’s outlived two of her children, and per prophecy, will outlive Tommen. And she will never learn.

      • Rachel says:

        Yeah, I had to laugh about Kaiser’s comment about Cersei being a horrible strategist. Cersei does not give a sh!t about strategy. She doesn’t even try. For her it’s all about crushing her enemies. She’s grown up believing that Lannisters are all-powerful. She doesn’t realize that Tywin maintained that illusion through strategy rather than might. All she ever saw was the might.

        And also… DAVOS!!!

      • Mommy2b says:

        In the book Cersie has a lesbian encounter to gain info about the her new daughter in law. So she is some what of a strategist, albeit not a very good one.

  5. mayamae says:

    I’m ridiculously excited!
    Love the trailer. Love the song.
    More twincest.
    I want Jon Targaryen’s first act to be killing Melisandre.
    I want Ramsay’s spoiler death to be true.
    I want one season to be absent of Stark girl abuse.
    Dany looks as broken and lost as pre-Drogo Dany.
    Davos planning vengeance on Jon’s killers is hot.
    I hope they save enough cgi $ for Ghost and Drogon.
    If Ghost is sacrificed to resurrect Jon – tears of rage.

    • Linn says:

      I hope someone frees Drogon’s poor siblings out of their chains. It looks like Tyrion might be up for the job.

      • mayamae says:

        I’ve just started the first book and Tyrion talks of how he was so fascinated by dragons as a child. Adds to the thought that he’s a Targaryen.

      • Lindy79 says:

        I do too, I hate them being locked up like that

    • Lizzie McGuire says:

      @mayamae Oh god, don’t say that about Ghost. Also at that battle they say it’s Jon Not Snow around 1:16 so obviously I’ve been watching it like 500 times to see if it is Jon Not Snow in the battle.

    • Jenns says:

      I think Jon could’ve warged into Ghost.

      • mom2two says:

        It’s possible. There was a theory going around that Robb warged into Grey Wind before he died, only to be killed a second time when the wolf died…his last words like Jon’s in the book were of his direwolf (last word on the show was Mother for Robb).
        Although the show has downplayed the Stark siblings ability to warg, focusing on Bran having the ability. They all can/could (if you are Robb..it pains me).

      • Lilacflowers says:

        Yes, we haven’t seen Nymeria since the first season. Book Arya saw her mother’s body through Nymeria’s eyes. And would dream about running with her pack and wreaking havoc through the Riverlands. Nymeria is a wild assassin, just like Arya.

      • Kimmy says:

        I’d like to see that too…..Warg-Jon exacting some revenge on the Nights Watch. Or a grief stricken Ghost going bananas and destroying everyone.

        At the very end, where Davos has that sword there was a patch of white fur off to the left side of the screen. That better not be Ghost. I won’t be able to handle another direwolf death. Mellisandre better not have to sacrifice him for Jon. Ugh. I’ll rage!!

  6. Amelia says:

    Bran is . . . standing?

    • mayamae says:

      Probably in a dream or vision.

    • paolanqar says:

      I’m pretty sure he’s just having visions with his 3rd eye but Christ! That freaked me out!
      I can’t wait to see what happens to Sansa and Theon. And Arya of course.
      Also..mimif I miss you!
      Come baaaaack!

  7. Betti says:

    Ah yes , melisandre and her magical boobs. But didn’t she give birth to a devil/ghost being after she banged Stannis that she sent to kill Renly? Maybe a similar thing is required to resurrect Jon. Her and Davos!?!?!!?!?

    Plus THE HOUND returns!!!!!!! There will be a few happy ladies on this board at that.

    I can’t wait to see Bran’s storyline as i feel he could be quite central in defeating the white walkers – and it looks like he can walk again.

  8. Lucky says:

    Is it me or is that trailer so dark you can hardly see anything. I’ve watched it twice so far and I can barely make out anything!!! 😡

    • lilacflowers says:

      It is very dark and very fast moving with lots and lots of clips. Stop it periodically so you can make out the images.

  9. lilacflowers says:

    Where’s Hodor?

    HODOR! WUNWUN! DROGON! CROQUEMBOUCHE!

    • paolanqar says:

      I choose violence. Yes.
      Cersei might become my favourite character this season along with Arya and Tyrion.

    • AnotherDirtyMartini says:

      I bought a tee-shirt that says:

      “HODOR!”
      -Hodor

  10. mayamae says:

    Whose voice is talking about the great game? I’m not recognizing it.

    • outoftheshadows says:

      That’s Tyrion. I feel very validated by the “Tyrion, would bang” comment. I’d bang him and marry him and then kill Ramsey.

      • mayamae says:

        Ha! I hope the show ends with Tyrion happily married and riding a dragon. Who knows, maybe he will be with Sansa. He’s the only man to show her kindness. I wouldn’t hate it.

  11. Jess says:

    I watched that 3 times and I have chills, I’m so excited!!

  12. Chinoiserie says:

    Davos made the trailer in the final line.
    This is probbaly the only trailer we get this year since it does not say the first trailer.

    • Linn says:

      Go Davos. Although I’m still a bit mad at him for not smuggling poor Shireen away from her crazy parents last season.

      • Rachel says:

        Don’t be mad at Davos, Linn. Loving his own children as he did, I don’t think he really believed Stannis would hurt his only child.

    • mom2two says:

      Davos for the win. He’s been so underused on this show, I hope we see more of him.

      The Boltons cannot die soon enough, I was over Roose and Ramsey at the end of season 3. Same with Cersei.

      Bran standing has to be Bran having visions.

      Yes, those scenes were the Tower of Joy.

      To be honest, I am tired of Melisandre creepy sex scenes. I get it that Carice is a beautiful woman but come on. Curious to see what they do with Asha in the show because I am suspecting her show story line is going to be completely different than her book one.

      And of course super sleuth Jorah would somehow find that ring. Greyscale is contagious but, according to the books, it is slow acting. The show, however, will have characters who need to die quickly from it die quickly…Dany somehow will be magically immune.

      I just hope this season is better than season 5. Last season was pretty bad and I do think their Emmy win was based on past seasons and not for that season.

      • Sayrah says:

        Asha as in the girl who slept with theon and disappeared with rickon seasons ago? It could give theon an heir since Ramsey got ahold of him after that.

      • mayamae says:

        You’re thinking of OSHA. Asha is Theon’s sister’s book name, but it’s Yara on the show to avoid confusion with OSHA.

      • msd says:

        Asha (called Yara in the show) is Theon’s sister and you can see her kissing a woman in the trailer. Osha is the wilding who spirited Rickon away. Apparently those two are back this season although they aren’t in the trailer.

      • mom2two says:

        I apologize for the confusion…completely forget Theon’s sister was called Yara on the show and not Asha!

      • Lilacflowers says:

        I just call Osha Tonks. To avoid confusion with Yara/Asha and workplace safety laws

  13. Jenns says:

    Nights King and Bran! I had chills .

    Plus, Euron! April, hurry up!

  14. Diana B says:

    Ugh! I hate the high sparrow and that stupid movement. Cersei should live long enough to finish them painfully and then she can die a horrible death, though I think she’ll live much too long. Davos looks super hot getting all avenging and sh!t. Arya’s still blind and suffering for it, noooooo. Bran with the ice ling was terrifying. I can’t wait for the season to begin already.

    • Betti says:

      There is a prophecy around Cersi that she will outlive her children – i can see her ending the series dead as she has too many enemies now and has completely lost it but she’ll be around for a while yet.

      • Diana B says:

        Yep. That sucks because I rather enjoyed when she started getting what was comming to her last season. It was far more satisfaying than I expected.

      • Dee Kay says:

        I was all on board with Cersei being imprisoned and humiliated by those nuns or whatever, but then when she had to do the Walk of Shame I felt pity for her, which I did not like. Cersei is the *worst* (after Joffrey and the Boltons), but even Cersei did not deserve that punishment.

      • Diana B says:

        I just kind of loved the whackig with the spoon, you know?

      • lilacflowers says:

        SHAME!

  15. ds says:

    This is their best trailer so far. But the song was so darm good I had to rewatch it five times to actually focus on the visuals. Which is a compliment.

  16. QQ says:

    Gaaahhhhh I cannot WAIT, CANNOT! I have a lot of things to even break down or go on about (DAVOS!! Bran is So BIG!!!) but I can only think that Margaery surely didn’t spend as much time as Cersei in the cells I bet all the money in my account, Margaery needs to be a PLAYA the way Littlefinger and Varys are fr fr

    • paolanqar says:

      mimif come baaaaaaack! We need you now more than ever!

    • AnotherDirtyMartini says:

      I don’t know, QQ…I def recall Cersei going into the cells after Marg (because Cersei set her & her bro up)…and then Cersei was released before Marg. Last we knew, weren’t Marg & bro still imprisoned?

  17. isabelle says:

    Only better better if the Hound had popped up. I want him back!

  18. paolanqar says:

    The only thing that SERIOUSLY freaked me out is Bran turning around and see the Night’s king.
    It gave me the chills.
    When you turn around in a beautiful snowy place you don’t want to see THAT.

    Gendry I’m sure has become an Olympian Rower champion by now.

    Where in seven hells is Sandor the fu-king Hound Clegane???

    5 weeks! 5 WEEKS!! 5 W E E K S S S S !!
    *screams while running uncontrollably along the corridors with her hands on her face like in Munch’s painting*

    • Lilacflowers says:

      Gendry has circumnavigated the globe four times and the Hound is enjoying some spa treatments

  19. Lex says:

    Is there a Canadian on here who can help me?

    I want a way to watch GoT as it airs (not via some dodgy streamed illegal copy). I don’t have cable tv but am HAPPY to pay so I can watch it right away.
    There seems to be no plausible way!??!? I am new to Canada and this is an outrage!
    It isn’t on any legal streaming apps here – I’d have to go through some lengthy US back channels to get it, right?

  20. Nibbi says:

    Not okay how excited I am for this.

    Dying to know who that sexy couple getting it on is. Melisandre and Theon’s sister? Melisandre and some guy? someone else? argh

  21. Betti says:

    I know a lot of people ship Sansa and Little Finger but I so ship her and The Hound, they had some chemistry going on. Do you think Jaime will end up with Brienne?

    As for Margery and Cersi – i hope M gets out of prison and we get a whole season of these 2 cat fighting over Thommen and the throne! Margery is one of the few who’s not afraid of Cersi and just as ruthless, particularly after she got her and her brother arrested.

    Also talking of Sansa’s marriage to Ramsey, is it legal as isn’t she still technically married to Tyrion?

    • Lex says:

      What’s a legal marriage in this fantasy realm?
      It’s fairly easy to prove she was coerced into both marriages!
      Anyone in the realm could argue that being ‘given away’ first by a deranged bastard false king who tormented her and was also her captor and then secondly by an insane tortured betrayer of her family (while also being held captive) were not conducive to a ‘legal’ or voluntary marriage.

      It is interesting though how she’ll recover down the track – she’s a ‘ruined’ woman in the medieval eyes of GoT!

    • AnotherDirtyMartini says:

      I’m totally on board with Jaime & Brienne! Cmon Jaime, stop banging Cersei.

  22. phlyfiremama says:

    Arya was totally warg-ing!! Season 3, episode 2 has the wildling warg pop up and the eyes are EXACTLY the same as Arya’s in the trailer. I love/hate you HBO!!!
