Tyrion Is As Quotable As Ever In The New ‘Game Of Thrones’ Trailer
"That's what I do. I drink, and I know things."
There’s exactly two weeks until Game of Thrones Season Six hits screens, and what’s likely to be the final trailer before the premiere has just dropped. Unlike the previous offerings, which were infuriatingly vague, this one’s got a good amount of scenery and plot to chew on as you wait impatiently for April 24. Tyrion, in his unlikely new role as ruler of a foreign city he arrived in five minutes ago, is as quotable as ever, while Jon Snow is still dead — at least in the bits HBO are showing us.
There are some surprises lurking in those two minutes of footage for anyone keen enough to go looking; namely, the revival of the Starks. Sansa’s picked up a horse, some armed men and clothes with the Stark insignia on them at 00:40, and Ser Davos at 00:52 has a Stark banner behind him. Jorah, meanwhile, still has greyscale and a severe case of the mopes, Dany is adrift and enslaved in the Dothraki horde, Arya’s still training in the House of the Dying, even if she is blind, and Theon looks to have made his way back to Pyke at 00:57 and 01:30. Even Podrick gets a look-in at 1:43, although it looks like he might have a pretty short shelf-life.
Still no sign of Gendry, though, who presumably has rowed the SS Abandoned Plotlines halfway across the world by now.
