This is it, kids. The flashbacks have started. Here you can see two youngsters battling it out with wooden swords in the non-burned shell of Winterfell. That's Ned Stark, right there, with the older boy presumably his older brother Brandon Stark. The two clues to how we can tell this is a flashback are the fact that A) Winterfell isn't nice 'n' crispy. B) That's a Stark direwolf banner at the top left of the shot. Flashbacks could be enormous in Season 6, they may even open the next run of episodes, and if we're seeing Ned's life played out in short sequences, could that pave the way for including The Tower Of Joy? All will be revealed very soon.
