Fans have discovered a HUGE accidental spoiler hidden in the Game of Thrones trailer.

Spoiler alert: This post might, maybe contain information about the fate of a certain curly-haired Game of Thrones character.

Do not read on. 

Stop. 

It also spoils the books.

Are you sure?

OK.

Season six is coming. We’ve seen the trailer – perhaps more than once – and we’re doing our very best to remain calm. We’re fans, see. Just not quite as fanatical as some of the Game of Thrones trainspotters out there in internet land.

By now the season six trailer has been watched, analysed, re-watched, magnified, watched again, in the hope that a juicy spoiler may have been overlooked. Well, Vanity Fair’s Joanna Robinson reckons she’s spotted a whopper, and it centres around the “death” of everyone’s favourite brooding, fur-wearing pin-up boy, Jon Snow.

At first glance, the trailer seems to support the GoT creators’ insistences that Snow has indeed shuffled off this mortal coil. Yes, he’s definitely dead, they said. No, he’s not coming back, they said. Even Snow actor, Kit Harrington, claimed that the only work he did for season six involved lying very, very still and trying not to breathe much.

Well, eagle-eyed Robinson, is prepared to call bulls**t on all of it. At around the 1:16 mark, Robinson is convinced we catch a glimpse of the Snow man, very much alive, waging war atop a horse. Could it be?

Look here:

And then here:

And now here:

The footage is fleeting, a little blurry and typically dingy. On its own, it probably wouldn’t hold up. But factor in Harrington hanging on to his luscious locks and the below following photographic evidence of him on set WEARING STARK ARMOUR, and things start to look promising.

“Same armour. Same luscious curly locks,” writes Robinson. “We have a match.”

Let’s hope so, Joanna, because our hopes are now officially up. Way up.
