Unless.....
All the dead main characters are coming back to life, someone call Sean Bean! Or the Assassin's Creed-like people are going to have some fun with DLC faces
There were like 7 living characters' faces in there.
Its just showing how no one is safe..

Gotta pass someday, and at least we don't really have to worry about book spoilers anymore

That's what I think as well, either that or
we're gonna have a depressing ass season
Why? It's official from HBO, on their GoT youtube page.
It also aired on HBO tonight, real for sure.
It would have required a ton of effort to fake that.
Westeros is effected by climate change. Winter is cancelled.

Too soon. My guess, this season is Jon building his Northern army and destroying the Boltons. While Daeny forms The Dothsullied and is finally forced to sail West after her small council run the rest of Meereen into the muck.
Once those two pieces are in place then I think Winter hits, darkness sweeps the land and The Night's King's forces overrun The Wall--probably in the finale.

make sure the pudding isn't too soggy but that just ruins everything
Trying to decide if Jon kills his betrayers. I'm assuming he's alive of course. If he's actually dead-dead idk that might hit me harder than any other Stark death, and they were all shocking. Tbh I don't want to even dwell on the possibility (because the more I think about it the more it seems like something they could actually do to me) so yeah... does Jon kill his betrayers, or spare them.
If I was Snow... I'd publicly execute the little kid. He got away with killing ginger, but killing them both, that demands reprisal.
Man, Snow is dead, isn't he? But that can't... ugh it'd make no sense! I thought he was one of two characters with plot armor. I was sure of this. Now idk, maybe... ugh. I just want to know!
lol. This wait is maddening.

There are pictures online that will answer your questions. Just have to use some google-fu to find them

I believe this is kind of 'hinty-hinty' which isn't allowed in this thread.

I didn't read. As much as I want to know, I don't want to know. Ya know?
Avoiding GoT spoilers, I've been very successful... but you basically have to wall off huge sections of the internet.

I think many of you are trying to read to much into the teaser.
I don't think the teaser is teasing anything more than "Hey guess what, everyone is caught up now with our story. Book Readers know no more than viewers so lets have some fun. Let's put a bunch of faces in the teaser, some alive... some dead... give people the impression no one is safe but ultimately, we won't kill any major characters"
aside from Jon Snow likely not being dead
You're going to regret saying this when the season premiere starts off with a meteor shower killing off every character from the teaser that's still alive.
I agree though. Just giving us the feeling that anything can happen and anyone can die and that their stories might finally start converging. I feel like every action has a consequence even if it takes years to unfold. This show seems to give us SOME justice long after the events happen and in an unexpected way which is why I love it. It doesn't do the typical trope of having the main character dish out revenge right away. It still follow some common tropes, but I love how it avoids the big ones that make every show so boring in comparison.

Book readers still know more, this season is doing multiple parts from the fourth book. So spoilers still are out there.

And I find it especially rewarding when revenge comes by way of a sibling, house member, or whatever. It's not always direct (you hurt me, I hurt you back) and they don't always make it obvious... they trust viewers to make the connection. Even if it's somewhat far removed. Love that.You're going to regret saying this when the season premiere starts off with a meteor shower killing off every character from the teaser that's still alive.

Where do you think I heard about it?
Hint:
the spoilers are coming from inside this thread
Man, it's hard to watch GoT on free TV with a 1y delay without getting spoiled. But it turned out fine. Saw a picture from the S6 teaser, before finishing S5, but it turned out harmless. Can't say I enjoyed this season as much as the other ones, but it was still good, even with the slow build. I'm a bit worried about the characters not being that interesting anymore from now, though.
The citizens of King's Landing are somewhat dull, lol.

Yeah but the night IS dark and full of terrors, everyone knows that.

I thought it would start at the beginning of April. The wait is even longer.

Those are pretty great. Cersei smirking, lol.
Damn these are bad. Almost as bad as the half blue faces from a while back. Those were God awful.

Hopefully they keep the goods a little closer to the vest this year. Looking back, the Season 5 Trailer included footage from pretty much the entire season, which led to some plot points becoming painfully obvious as events played out.
Speaking of obvious, no way the S6 trailer doesn't end with some cryptic line from Melisandre or Bran or The Three-Eyed Raven about resurrection and you know what, I'll mark out regardless.

Quick deleted scene from S5 between Tormund and Ser Alliser.
https://youtu.be/-4rydHH3QhQ
Not sure why they cut it. While short, it helps set up the power struggle brewing at the wall and Thorne eventually betraying Jon.

Not sure why they cut this scene back in S2 of Loras and Margaery either.
Really gave Loras some much needed character.

So it was all Loras' fault.
