HBO's first piece of promotional material spread like wildfire on Blackwater Bay. It was splattered in every corner of the internet, and while it didn't give much away, it seriously made an impression on fans. There's not a lot to take away in terms of specifics, but it does give us two major hints: 1. Jon Snow may be 'dead' but he's still the focal point of Season 6. 2. HBO know the secret is out. That last point may sound basic, but to me, it's exciting that HBO are aware the majority of people are expecting this, this, this, and this to happen in Season 6. It means that while the end-goal may be what everyone expects, the route to get there could be filled with immense shocks and surprises. They know any comeback alone would not provide a major shock, so they must be working incredibly hard to ensure fans are treated to a fresh storyline.
