But some fans are taking second, third, and more looks at the footage and they're noticing what many are saying is a big spoiler for the upcoming season.

They're seeing signs of shooting the Kingsmoot, the election of a new king by the captains of the Iron Islands. According to George R.R. Martin's "Song of Ice and Fire" novels, which "GOT" is based on, the Kingsmoot occurs on Nagga's hill on Old Wyk.
