Did you spot Ned Stark in the new Game of Thrones trailer?

The long-suffering Sansa Stark looks to have taken over the family and is warned by Tyrion Lannister that she is "in the great game now, and the great game is terrifying". From a bloody Jon Snow poster to intriguing footage of house banners, previous teasers were, well, just teasing.

"He's gone", Davos Seaworth says, as the camera swoops down upon Castle Black, landing on Jon Snow's bloody body still lying exactly where we last saw him in season 5, soundtracked by James Vincent McMorrow's haunting cover of Chris Isaak's "Wicked Game". Cersei can be seen ordering her Frankenstein's monster of a guard to attack and the High Sparrow is talking to a mysterious man in armor (Jaime perhaps?) about how it is possible for him to overthrow an empire. OK, then this other picture of the flashback which sees Ned (right) fight off a soldier who's sporting the three-headed Targaryen crest on his armour must be a complete coincidence then.

In a recent interview with Time Out London, Kit Harington danced around the question of whether or not Jon Snow is dead. Actor Kit Harington recently revealed he shot scenes as a "corpse" for the new season, but added nothing more. Barring rampant speculation on the fate of Jon Snow, who is both alive and dead depending on the day of the week, not much has been said on the record about what awaits Westeros.

And we won't even get into the leading Game of Thrones finale theory, to which Snow is central.
