Game Of Thrones Season 6: 15 Major Plot Hints From Trailer 2
I drink, and I know things.
Less than two weeks. That's all that remains between now and the start of Game of Thrones Season 6, which is shaping up to be the biggest (and hopefully best) season to date.
Over the past couple of months HBO have gradually peeled back the layers, with a full-length trailer, and then a March Madness teaser, along with a number of images being released. That would have been enough, especially as excitement was already at fever pitch, but they've gone and released another full trailer anyway. Not that I'm complaining.
Somehow this latest look at Season 6 is even better than the previous ones. Dragons and White Walkers feature prominently, Jon Snow is still dead, and there's a hell of a lot of action, drama, violence, and intrigue.
It does a great job of building the excitement for the new season even further, while not giving all that much away. It doesn't offer big spoilers, but there is still plenty to be gleaned from it as to what we can expect from the plot of Season 6, and these are the biggest hints on show.
15. A Red Priestess Works Her Magic In Meereen
The first episode of Season 6 is called 'The Red Woman', with the assumption being that it's a reference to Melisandre.
That's probably true, but the episode titles rarely refer to just one person or element of the episode, apart from single-story ones like Blackwater, and in this trailer we get to see the other Red Woman it could be referring to.
This one is in conversation with Tyrion and Varys in Meereen, and walks away smirking, suggesting that whatever they've been discussing, she's getting the better end of the deal.
In the books, a Red Priestess accompanies Victarion Greyjoy on his journey to Meereen, so this could be a condensed version of that character, and probably one from the casting calls that surfaced last year, meaning she'll be lending support to Daenerys - or attempting to turn her to the Lord of the Light.
That didn't work so well for the last claimant to the Iron Throne who tried it, but then he didn't have dragons on his side either.
