At the end of the Season 6 trailer, there’s a brief scene in which Davos Seaworth, standing near Jon Snow’s body in Castle Black, draws Longclaw, Jon Snow’s sword. A trio of Night’s Watchmen draw their own weapons, and we’ve been assuming that Davos is about to throw down with them.
We were wrong. A fuller version of that scene aired on Conan during Liam Cunningham’s recent visit to the show. Check it out below. The clip starts at 1:49.
Okay, then!
EDIT: Okay, so I totally missed the point of this clip on first look.
Davos and a few Night’s Watchmen loyal to Jon have shut themselves in a room with Jon Snow’s body, and are preparing to face down Thorne, Olly, and other members of the Jon Snow murder brigade. Also, it’s good to see that Ghost is, indeed, alive and well.
Given that Jon Snow’s dead body is still there, I’m betting this is early in the season, so hopefully we won’t have to wait until long after the April 24 premiere to find out.
As for Cunningham’s interview, the actor has mentioned that George R.R. Martin once told him a secret about the series before. We’re no closer to finding out what it is, but if you have any ideas, feel free to talk about them.
