“We watch, we listen and we remember.” That’s the dramatic opening line of the first Game of thrones teaser for season six played to scenes of the significant deaths and spectacular moments from the show.
The best part however— Jon Snow is not dead! And we have proof.
Game of Thrones recently released a 41-second teaser that begins with the footage of a very-much-alive Commander of the Night’s Watch. And no, he’s not a White Walker just yet.
The teaser shows old footage from the previous seasons of HBO’s hit show, but with a completely new narration. The voiceover is from Max von Sydow’s Three-Eyed Raven, which is Bran Stark’s constant companion on his lone march with Hodor while he tries to grasp control of his psychic powers.
“The past is already written. The ink is dry.” With those words we are reminded of some the important scenes from Season 5, especially the biggest cliffhanger — Jon Snow bleeding to death after being betrayed by his brothers-in-arms, The Night’s Watch.
Basically the teaser gives us nothing new. It shows us Ned Stark’s beheading from Season 1, Rob and Catelyn Stark’s deaths at the Red Wedding in Season 3, King Joffrey’s poisoning in Season 4, Arya going blind in Season 5 after disobeying Jaqen H’ghar , Jaime Lannister’s hand being severed after he was taken captive and many more.
It’s not a whole lot to go on but for now it’s enough to whet our palette as we eagerly await more from the hit show.
As the screen goes black, Bran’s voice says “They have no idea what’s going to happen.”
Well, all we can do now is wait.
