‘Game of Thrones’ Season 6 Teaser: The Past Is Already Written

io9:

Okay, so, if you’re worried about spoilers, this first teaser for the next season ofGame of Thrones doesn’t actually have any new footage in it—but it’s got one hell of an awesomely portentous bit of dialogue over it that has some spoilery connotations. So consider this your warning!

There’s actually two narrators—Max Von Sydow, who’ll be playing the Three Eyed Raven in the upcoming season, kicks it off, telling us that the past is already written (and presumably unchangeable), all cut over shots of people doing what they do best in Game of Thrones—dying and being horrifically maimed. There’s a lot of Starks included, but there’s a very obvious focus on one in particular, Jon Snow, and his seemingly final end at the climax of season 5

But another voice retorts to the Raven that “They have no idea what’s going to happen”… and it’s none other than Bran Stark himself! I dunno about you guys, but that sounds like a pointed reference to what is Game of Thrones worst kept secret.
