Game Of Thrones Season 6: 17 Questions After The Brand New Trailer

12. Where's Sam?

You can often read as much into what wasn't included in the trailer, with one notable absence coming in the form of Sam Tarly and Gilly. They're journeying south, and official HBO photos have shown them en route to Oldtown, but why were they not included in a trailer where almost everyone else was?

It wouldn't be a great surprise if they were given a backseat role in Season 6. It's not to say they aren't important, but their storyline is going to contain a lot of travelling, and I'd rather just assume their journey as opposed to following it every step of the way. It seems odd that such a potentially important character was omitted, is there a reason for that?
