Game of Thrones' season six premiere is still months away — but HBO has released a brief teaser to whet fans' appetite: Though all the footage featured in the teaser is old — it's a greatest hits of Game of Thrones deaths and dramatic moments, with a heavy emphasis on Jon Snow — the dialogue is new and must be from the upcoming season.
