The Game of Thrones Season 5 teaser trailer is out, and immediately you can see why they call it a “teaser trailer” — because all it does is tease.
As with all movie trailers (or in this case, TV trailers), there’s good news and bad news. We’ll start with the bad news: It’s only ten seconds long. But that’s why they call it a “teaser trailer.” The good news is that, if you’re a fan of Arya Stark, the trailer is all Arya.
The trailer contains something of a spoiler for Arya Stark’s story – that is, if you’re not through Season 4 yet. Otherwise, here’s the trailer.
That’s it. We get Arya showing off her swordplay skills, and a voiceover saying “I see a darkness in you,” which is the voice of the Priestess Melisandre, according to the Guardian . There are also fleeting references to The Sight and the Three-Eyed Raven, which CNET writer Anthony Domanico takes as “a foreshadowing of things to come.”
About that three-eyed raven: HBO has put together a website called Threeeyedraven, where you can sign up for updates from HBO via Twitter or SMS message, and get new Game of Thrones Season 5 tidbits – including, hopefully, some more substantive trailers – as HBO feels like releasing them. In fact, the teaser trailer you just watched was initially released only via GoT’s official Twitter feed .
