My initial reaction to the Bran portion of the trailer was that the tree surrounded by stones is meant to be some sort of Godswood; I thought it might even be some super ancient vision of the site that would eventually become Winterfell, since we're told that the Godswood predates the castle.
However, that can't be the case, since that location clearly has mountains present, and the tree's bark is too dark to be a weirwood.
Looked like a weirwood surrounded by obsidian to me

Your lordship lost a son at the Red Wedding. I lost four upon the Blackwater. And why? Because the Lannisters stole the throne. Go to King’s Landing and look on Tommen with your own eyes, if you doubt me. A blind man could see it. What does Stannis offer you? Vengeance. Vengeance for my sons and yours, for your husbands and your fathers and your brothers. Vengeance for your murdered lord, your murdered king, your butchered princes. Vengeance!
If you follow the above link, you'll find that the Night's King has been recast... by the man who did the stunts for the walker who fought Jon last year, and who's the same man who fought Ned at the TOJ as Ser Arthur Dayne's stunt double.
Fans have observed throughout the pre-season this year that the Night’s King looks a little different in season 6. Based on the credits listed for this photo, courtesy of HBO, it seems they were right. The Night’s King is credited as being played by Vladimir Furdik, a stunt performer who played the White Walker that Jon crossed swords with at Hardhome and did stunt work for the Tower of Joy scene this year.
Soooo the Night's King is going to be one badass fighter this season.

Music to my ears.
And only fitting now that winter is come. Very cool that it would also connect the return of NK to the tower of joy, if only on IMDb.

Interesting photos here, especially the Bran ones. Looks like he's going to go back in time and see something with the children. And that place those children and here are at looks like the exact same place where we've seen the walkers gather.
And the angry Bran image features the crypts in the background. Maybe he saw something in that flashback?

Just give me an entire episode of Bran visions already!
I've gotta imagine that this week's episode is going to heavily feature them and Bran. We've got the Winterfell flashback, the children of the forest flashback, we've got Bran meeting the Night's King, etc. It's definitely going to be a Bran focused episode this week.
I don't know about you guys, but I'm looking forward to seeing *more* of Kinvara.
As long as she keeps her necklace on I'm fine with her getting lots of screen time.

Damn.
And all the fans who were speculating that this was Lyanna (people were posting about how the actress might be good for Lyanna several months ago) let out a disappointed sigh, while WWS went: the Israeli magazines didn't lie.

She does resemble some of the Lyanna fan art, but I remember you pointing out her exotic origins.

Agreed--I want to think that he has finished the tower flashback and goes back to Winterfell to tell Ned something--but that seems like a LOT of info in one episode since they are also including the children and the Night's King. Plus it does seem possible they won't finish the tower scene until later.
So, no idea what Bran saw in the flashback--perhaps the backstory on Hodor?
One other thing--the smirk on Sansa's face when she's with Littlefinger. Reminded me of when she manipulates the Lord of the Vale after Lysa's death. She knows she can play Littlefinger. The question is, will he let her play him? Will they stick to "clever" Baelish or will they ruin him and keep making him look foolish--like the play to marry her to Ramsay?
All art is at once surface and symbol. Those who go beneath the surface do so at their peril. Those who read the symbol do so at their peril. It is the spectator, and not life, that art really mirrors. Oscar Wilde.
