4. Winter Is Here

Nevermind talk of winter coming. It's here, it's brought its friends, and it's going to destroy all of us. 

After shots of the Night's King standing in front of the flames, and alongside Bran, we get a few more interesting looks at the White Walkers in Season 6. 

Again, there's the fantastic image of his silhouette against the backdrop of flames, but while that's the coolest image (no pun intended, honest), it's not the one that offers us the most detail. That falls to the other two shots of them. One shows them standing in line atop their noble steeds, the four horsemen of a particularly icy apocalypse. 

The other is the reverse-shot of that flame one, as we get to actually see the Night's King's and his frosty friends approaching whatever it is that's on fire, weapons his hand. "The dead are coming," warns Davos. He might not know just how right he is, because it looks as though the White Walkers are making a big move down from the Far North in Season 6. 

An unwelcome visit to Bran and the weirwood tree would make some sense, given they're the only other major players still North of the Wall, but after that they'll likely make for the Wall itself.
