Screencap breakdown: Game of Thrones Season 6 Trailer
By Ani Bundel
Yesterday, the HBO and Game of Thrones gods smiled down upon us. With only 48 days to go, we were finally, FINALLY blessed with a just over one-minute-and-forty second trailer for the upcoming season. And though a mere 101 seconds doesn’t seem like a lot of time to pack in the footage, the fact of the matter is that trailer was jammed to the gills with new stuff.
Now as we all know, I’m a bit obsessive when it comes to spoilers. I gathered every single last unofficial one in a huge round up at the beginning of the year, as much for my own edification as for our spoiler-friendly readers. (Yeah, by the way, don’t click that link unless you want to know.) So of course all I wanted to do once this trailer showed up was to load it into my player and snapshot to my heart’s content until I was certain of every last image we had been given.
For those keeping score at home, the answer is 82. That’s 82 individual images from this trailer. What are they? What do they mean? IS JON SNOW ALIVE IN ANY OF THEM? Come my friends: let us dive down the rabbit hole of obsession and go through this trailer shot by shot.
Oh and for the love of god: SPOILER ALERT.
Next: Jon Snow was dead: to begin with
