Game of Thrones Releases Three Teasers for Season 6

It’s not the Season 5 raven teasers which were one shot deal, and thank heavens for that. Instead it looks like the Season 6 teasers will come via more accessible social media site, as today the Game of Thrones Twitter account started a very interesting game. If you tweet directly at it with your House Allegiance (House Stark, House Lannister, House Targaryen), they’ll tweet you back a teaser video for Game of Thrones Season 6.

Well, we knew that Dany was going to be in for a rough time of it, but hearing a Dothraki voice tell her she’s the “Million of her Name” and “Queen of Nothing” is still pretty harsh. I wish I knew which of the half a dozen new actors brought on board to play Dothraki Khals this was speaking. We’ll have to wait to find out.

That is definitely Lord Ramsay Bolton insisting that Winterfell is his. “Come and see.” Who is he telling that to? Sansa? Or…someone else?

Interesting that House Lannister is the voice of Jonathan Pryce as the High Sparrow, with the memory of Cersei “Shame” walk in the background. I wonder if this is his pitch to Margaery to join the Sparrows? Or if he’s threatening Cersei?

What’s most interesting about these three videos is that all three show the Houses who have been the seats of power and strength at their lowest ebb. We as fans have been encouraged these last five seasons to chose between these three House–Stark, Lannister and Targaryen–and “show our alliegence” as the Season 1 promos said so long ago. But our reward is not to see our heroes triumphant, but to see how far they have fallen.

(And sorry you didn’t make the cut House Tyrell. Maybe next time.)

Oh and for the record:

The North, and Twitter, Remember.
