" For Game of Thrones fans, today has been a roller coaster. A stunning new trailer premiered (with TV on the Radio and David Bowie!) gave us our first substantial look at Season Five. Maisie Williams, aka Arya Stark, gave us the rundown on The Hound&amp;#039;s real-life farting habits. George R.R. Martin broke our hearts with yet another delay on the release of the forthcoming book in the series, The Winds of Winter.  Through this great joy and great sadness, all we can do is stare longingly into the fires of the future, and at this collection of photos and wait patiently for Game of Thrones to return.
