Game Of Thrones Season 6: 12 Major Plot Hints From The Trailer

1. An Answer To R + L =J

After a good few seasons of teasing and theorising, it seems that Ned Stark will actually be back for season 6 in a flashback sequence that will take the show back to the time of the Civil War, and specifically to the red mountains of Dorne. The trailer seemed to suggest that we will be getting an answer to the R+L=J theory, as the sequence in question will presumably see Ned lead a charge on the Tower Of Joy and the discovery of his sister dying within. This is after all the perfect opportunity to see more of Jon Snow's story (with him on the verge of a massive moment - whether death or revival). Whether the show chooses to have Lianna revealed to be pregnant or not remains to be seen, since HBO seems to consciously court controversy by making dramatic changes, but either way we'll get an answer.
