New images from Game of Thrones Episode 605, “The Door” (UPDATE: Even more!)
By Dan Selcke
It’s the middle of the week, and that means that HBO is releasing official images from the next episode of Game of Thrones. Today, we have a bunch of new images from “The Door,” the mysteriously titled fifth episode of the show’s sixth season. Let’s take a look.

After gaining the loyalty of the Dothraki and murdering her competition in one fell swoop, Daenerys has to consider what to do next. Clearly the first she did was order someone to attend to her hair, because it’s braided again.
Will Daario show her a little more respect now that he’s seen all those people bowing to her? We shall see.

Arya
No One is back in the Hall of Faces. Has she earned her way back into Jaqen H’ghar’s good graces?

Jon Snow has a new haircut, too. Before he died, his let his raven locks fall around his face, but resurrected Jon Snow is all business, at least so far as hairlines are concerned.

If Sansa looks at someone askance, you can bet that Brienne will, too. I get the idea that this shot is the reverse of the one above. Sansa and Jon Snow may be having another conversation about strategy.

On the other hand, the lighting in this shot is different, so I’m betting this is from a different scene. Sansa meets with Littlefinger in a shack somewhere, probably the same one we see Brienne in this photo, which was released before the season began:
Sansa and Littlefinger’s posture is interesting—it looks like they’re doing that thing that occasionally happens in spy movies, where two people meet in a crowded area but don’t want to draw attention to themselves, so they look in opposite directions and have a conversation without ever looking at each other. Or maybe Sansa’s just pissed at Littlefinger for leaving her with a violent psychopath. That could be it.
Also, how does Littlefinger find Sansa so fast? Fans have accused him of having a teleport machine squirreled away somewhere, but to get from the Vale to Castle Black this quickly is an amazing feat even for him. And did he bring the Knights of the Vale with him, or has he ridden ahead?
Moving on…

Finally, Bran meets the Night’s King. Eep.
I mean, he doesn’t really meet the Night’s King. Bran is standing in that shot, so this must happen in another one of his vision. Still: eep.
Then there’s this picture, which was used as the thumbnail image for the trailer for “The Door” on the HBOGo website:
The Children of the Forest, ladies and gentlemen, in what looks like happier times. That image is gone now. It’s been replaced with this more ordinary one:
Then there’s this picture from HBO.com:
That’s gonna be one tense conversation.
Finally, here’s another shot from Episode 5 that was released before the season started.
Where is the Red Woman (the original one) off to?
