I'm excited for the new Dothraki against Daenerys.

And of course, the Hype Sparrow rises. Hopefully they'll focus more on his "poor against the rich" rhetoric rather than the "HOMOSEXUALS SHOULD BURN" rhetoric.

I'll admit that's a great line that Khal whoever just spit out to Daenerys.

Yes. The links are in the OP's post which is made up of just the links.

It's three different videos.

If you don't want to watch, they're all just a quote in front of a banner.

Quotes probably not 100% correct, but close enough:

  • Lannister: High Sparrow saying "Individually we are weak, poor. Together we can overthrow an empire."
  • Targaryan: A Dothraki saying "You have no kingdom, no people, you are a queen of nothing."
  • Stark: Ramsay saying "Winterfell is mine. Come and see."

Except it's a lot more impressive in character and with the tattered banner in front. "You are no one, the Millionth of your name, Queen of nothing." All spoken in Dothraki. Worth a listen to.

"despite branching off from the books, Season 6 will end up containing some spoilers for the next book."

If it's not certain whether the same thing will happen in the books, is it really a book spoiler?

We've already had at least two such examples. Stannis burning Shireen and Brienne killing him. Haven't happened in the books; whether either ever will is a matter of speculation. So, is learning about a thing that might happen in the books, or might not, a spoiler? It's got more weight than mere speculation about something that could conceivably happen.

[up]I think that means that some events that happen in the books will occur in the show, but how they got there may or may not be different.

This is GRRM's view on it.

Tl;dr Don't expect things in the show to later happen in the books. They're too different since a few seasons back.

New pictures of the new season.

Anyone who assigns themselves loads of character tropes is someone to be worried about.

I'm not sure how much news I can post.

Like are posting trailers and teasers, okay?

And am I allowed to post show spoilers/ rumors/speculation?

Or what characters are showing up?

Aw man, so Myrcella really is dead.

I mean, I'm not surprised, just disappointed. Because the Sand Snakes' plot, as straight up retarded as it was, fucking worked. That's... legitimately disappointing.

I found that image of Myrcella really weird...like Tommen is staring at her with Dull Surprise and shruggingin a...welp dem's the breaks fashion...and Jaime looks as if he's been given wrong directions.

The images are spoilery...we get our first glimpse of Max von Sydow as Brynden Rivers, we find out how the Greyjoy story is going in this season.
