So for those of you living under a rock, Game of Thrones launched it's official season six trailer last night. For those of you not caught up with Bran's chapters in the books, or with Season 5 of the show then be warned, SPOILERS ARE COMING.
The trailer starts with a look at Jon Snow (Kit Harington), don't rejoice this is a flashback to Hardhome last season. The voice of Bloodraven (Max von Sydow) or Brynden Rivers depending on which name you prefer to call him, plays over these clips.
"We watch, we listen and we remember. The past is already written, the ink is dry."
We see Jon being stabbed by Olly (Brenock O'Connor), Ned (Sean Bean) losing his head as Arya (Maisie Williams) looks on, Catelyn (Michelle Fairley) getting her throat slit at the Red Wedding. Arya then loses her sight, A wildling (which I can't yet identify) swinging his sword at an other, Ned's sword Ice being smelted and Joffrey (Jack Gleeson) turning Purple at the Purple wedding.
We then see a clip of Cersei (Lena Headey) as she is about to do her walk of shame, Sansa (Sophie Turner) and Littlefinger (Aidan Gillen) kiss, the sword which I think is Ice (could be oathkeeper) appears again, and the Night's King raising the dead.
Then we see Jon bleeding out as his brothers have just stabbed him a multitude of times and Bran (Issac Hempsted Wright) is warging (I think this is the only new clip in this trailer). We then hear Brans voice.
"They have no idea what's going to happen."
Now I hear you, what does all of this mean? To me it seems as though this trailer is gearing towards Bran changing the past, after all when you tell Bran he can't do something he'll go ahead and do it anyway. In A Dance with Dragons Bran finishes his quest and meets Blood Raven. When he is beneath the weirwood he sees glimpses of the past and Bloodraven explains to Bran that these are merely visions which we learn from, and that no Greenseer is strong enough to communicate with these visions.
Now it's been theorised that Bran is powerful enough to do this, he could also be the reason that Theon saved Jayne Poole in the book. There is also the question of Theon's chapter in Winds of Winter, where one of the crows chants his name while the other chants the tree. This could be anything as some crows can speak, but Bloodraven did use Crows to communicate to Bran in his dreams.
So what's to say that Bran can't change the past? Well the first time he uses the Weirwood paste he sees his father, he tries to talk to him but to Ned it is just a whisper on the wind, so if he cannot communicate with Ned then he cannot change the past.
It justs seems to me that this trailer is trying to tell me something, other than the obvious. Maybe I'm wrong and Bran will become more powerful and be able to change the past to save the future, he may have been communicating with Theon after all. I understand that Bran is very powerful, and I feel that he could be the key to the entire series. But I just don't think he will change the past, I think he will change the future.
My big question though is why does Ice appear in this trailer twice? It could be both the swords which were made from Ice but in the picture it looks like a Greatsword. Maybe reforging Ice is the key to all this? I doubt it, but how good would it be if Ice was lightbringer? No? I think I'll get the tinfoil out for that theory.
So what do you think? Am I wrong and can Bran change the past? Can he save Jon and the others which we have seen slain in this teaser? Or do you agree with me and feel that Bran will change the future? Do you find it weird that the sword appeared twice? Comment below.
