Yup; he shaved his head and is swinging a hammer to smith something

Thanks. Thought it was him alright

Literally everyone is shown, yes, except the Greyjoys.

I'm not sure what that means.

I thought there was a shot of Euron's fleet?

I've been waiting for you.

no Bronn either

How long have you been waiting?

Anyone else not feeling hyped for this season?

Maybe it's the long wait, or the diminishing quality of the last few seasons, but I think I've stopped caring.

The books are better

I'd start reading them if I thought there was any chance Martin would finish them before he dies.

I think it is the long break.

But where is Euron?

Oh man, I totally missed that.

I guess literally, yeah, no Greyjoys in trailer. Seen some speculation that Golden Company could've gone rogue and might have taken his ships...but that would've been a pretty wussy end for Euron.

I just think it's interesting to take note of those left out, when they went out of their way to show SO many of the characters in that trailer. Again, I'm not sure what it means -- if anything -- but it's interesting. Theon/Reek especially given how instrumental he's been since the start of this thing.

I certainly don't think it means they aren't in it. But why NOT show them when you're making sure we see everyone else? Is something being hidden? And if so, what? I think that's interesting.

Anyway, beyond all of that stupid shit, I think the most interesting thing in the trailer is Arya running. She looks terrified. That's not a look we've seen on Arya in a long time. Who/what is chasing her? Who/what has her so goddamn terrified? Is it an act? Is it a trap? She looks scared as shit, though.

Here comes headless Ned.

I'm sure Redditt is all over that by now. It would be pretty fucking nuts. His bones are in the crypt, yeah? So...

All the Starks' bones are down there (sans Robb and Catelyn).

The lack of Others is also interesting. Everyone is expecting a big battle between WW, wights, and an undead dragon vs. humans and their two dragons (and Ghost, maybe). In a show known for swerves, it'd be one of the biggest swerves of all if that battle did not take place as expected. There are shots of the Unsullied arriving at and leaving Winterfell, and there are no shots of Dany or her dragons at the presumed Winterfell battle--are they someplace else? What if those dead-horse feet aren't an approaching army, but an emissary from the Others? (Think: Mouth of Sauron.) Maybe they're going to try and convince them to join the dead instead of opposing them? I'd be down for that.

are we sure that's not jaime lannister?
