"This trailer is Extreme Bullsh*t, because it’s not really a trailer,” says Tom Ley. "The first minute unfolds like normal—it’s okay to admit that the Wicked Game cover had you feeling things—but the last 40 seconds are a calculated act of cruelty. All the interesting shots have been saved for this final stretch, but they are presented in a breakneck mishmash of contextless images that can only be understood (by people who have way too much information on their hands) after a frame-by-frame breakdown.” PLUS: Here's a shot-for-shot breakdown (http://tvline.com/2016/03/08/game-of-thrones-season-6-trailer-details-shot-for-shot-photos/) of the trailer, a second-by-second breakdown (http://time.com/4251540/game-of-thrones-season-6-trailer-analysis-breakdown/), and all the secrets hidden (http://io9.gizmodo.com/all-the-secrets-hidden-in-game-of-thrones-brand-new-tra-1763642181) in the trailer.
