‘Is Jon Snow really dead?’ Obama asks ‘Game of Thrones’ director

Spoilers for Game of Thrones season 5 follow.

Some of the cast members of HBO’s “Game of Thrones” will take the stage Friday at the San Diego Comic-Con. That’s actually the reason why he won’t be present for this year’s San Diego Comic-Con. Fans who attended the “Game of Thrones” panel at Comic-Con found themselves in a similar position Friday afternoon.

With showrunners showrunners David Benioff and D. B. Their panel will be at Hall H, and there, fans will get updates on the upcoming season, as well as answers to some of their burning questions, Entertainment Weekly said. “But it was interesting to see people’s reaction to that kind of thing because I feel that it’s never really been done this much before on TV”.

Moderated by Seth Meyers, the panel featured cast members Maisie Williams (Arya Stark), Sophie Turner (Sansa Stark), Gwendoline Christie (Brienne of Tarth), Natalie Dormer (Margaery Tyrell), Alfie Allen (Theon/Reek), Jonathan Bradley (Samwell Tarly), Carice Van Houten (Melisandre), Conleth Hill (Lord Varys), Liam Cunningham (Davos Seaworth), Hannah Murray (Gilly), director David Nutter, and executive producer Carolyn Strauss.

It was the most forthright opinion offered on the fate of upper crust beefcake Kit Harington’s character after he was seemingly stabbed to death at the end of the last series, with his faithful servant Olly delivering the finishing blow. The cast was little help though, mumbling and laughing nervously when a man in the audience asked, pointedly, what they’ll miss most about working with Harington.

At Comic-Con, we learned that POTUS grilled a “Thrones” director about Snow’s death, the cast weighed in on whether he’s really dead, and Sophie Turner spoke about Sansa’s rape.

“Mr. President, Jon Snow is deader than dead”, Nutter says he told Obama.

“They’re trying to put together the best and most-‘realistic’ would be the wrong word-mix of those personalities in that world, at that mythical time when the show takes place”, Strauss replied, insisting that Game of Thrones is an equal-opportunity torturer.

“There’s one thing that Sansa still is, despite what’s happened to her, which is strong“, Turner said.

Strauss also said that actors get entire scripts, and not just segments based on cities or groups. “It wasn’t done because of the pain, it was done in spite of it”.

Nutter recalled that day on set as a particularly hard one. “And the power lay in the fact that got turned on its head, and the two found a begrudging respect for each other that’s became intense and close – and doesn’t have it’s roots in sexuality”.

Actress Lena Headey was not on hand to discuss her character’s extended nude shame walk. Hill hasn’t read the Game of Thrones books, so he’s been happy in the past that he didn’t know beforehand what was going to happen when he was playing his character.
