French actor Elie Haddad, who plays a Dothraki tribesman on the HBO series, shared a photo on his Instagram of a script for the upcoming season, before promptly deleting it.
Unfortunately for Haddad, Game of Thrones fans have keen eyes and quick fingers and managed to capture the post before it was taken down.
Thanks to the zoom function on their computers, they were also able to decipher some of the text on the page, revealing a scene concerning Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke) in season six.
What GoT fans were able to uncover was a particularly crude scene in Dothraki, the native language of the tribe Daenerys married into when she wed Khal Drogo.
***WARNING: SKIP AHEAD TO AVOID SPOILERS BELOW***
According to the translation shared widely online, the scene involves several Dothraki leaders (known as Khals) talking about Daenerys, who we last saw lost and alone and surrounded by threatening Dothraki on horses.
“I like her,” one says, followed by the direction: “Several khals agree.”
“She’s paler than milk,” another says.
“I bet she turns nice and pink when you pinch her.”
“I want to know what a Khaleesi tastes like.”
“Good. You can suck my ***” the section concludes, followed by the direction: “Laughter all around.”
All of this does not bode well for Khaleesi, who no longer has any Dothraki allies since Khal Drogo died.
Fortunately, thanks to her firm grasp on Dothraki, if Dany is in earshot for this scene she will be able to understand every word.
Fans of the show will know what happens when people try to talk trash about Dany – they get burned (literally).
Which leads us to the next season six leak…
A Spanish media site recently shared some telling photos from the show’s set in Almeria, Spain.
The first photo – click here to see it – shows a Dothraki temple fully intact.
However, in the second image shared by Ideal – see it here – the temple has been burnt to a crisp.
This suggests Daenerys’ dragon Drogon, who we last saw in the season five finale injured and by Dany’s side, has let loose on the Dothraki, hopefully on the orders of his mother.
Because there’s no revenge quite as sweet as having your pet dragon burn someone’s village down.
As for the show’s other characters, some fan sightings have suggested a couple of familiar faces might be making a return in season six after a prolonged absence.
This fan photo with cast members Maisie Williams (centre), Isaac Hempstead Wright (left) and David Bradley (right), taken near the show’s set in Belfast, suggests Bran Stark (Wright) will be present in the next season, as will Walder Frey (Bradley).
Bran Stark was absent from all of season five after discovering the Three Eyed Raven and disappearing into the forest in season four.
Meanwhile, the evil Walder Frey (who was responsible for that ghastly Red Wedding mess) was missing for all of seasons four and five. Unfortunately, it looks like he’s back from vacation and ready to wreak havoc again.
***SPOILERS OVER***
As for when we’ll actually get to see all of this in action, season six of the HBO series is slated for early 2016, but no specific date has been set.
Previous seasons have premiered no later than April each year, but there is speculation this season will be pushed back to give author George R.R. Martin more time to release the corresponding book, The Winds of Winter.
