You Know Nothing Jon Snow

With season 5 of  Orange is the New Blac k having been  held to ransom  at  the weekend , it's understandable that networks are trying to take every possible precaution when it comes to preventing leaks. Scripts are particularly high priority and, if compromised, could reveal every plot twist and turn of a season months and months before it is aired. "They've definitely tightened up who has scripts and how we're given them," Nathalie Emmanuel, who plays Missandei in  Game of Thrones , told Fabulous magazine. "You have to look at it digitally." She explained of the protocol when it comes to scripts both on set and in advance of filming: "They won't send it to us unless our emails have a two-step verification [security process].  "You might get given rehearsal notes on set, but you have to sign for and return them before you leave. Game of Thrones  has managed to keep its scripts under wraps thus far, but several episodes have

Who is Azor Ahai? The Lord of Light’s chosen? The Prince Who Was Promised? The messiah who will save mankind from the Long Night? That’s one of the most persistent questions among fans of  A Song of Ice and Fire  and  Game of Thrones . The myth of Azor Ahai is mentioned often in  ASOAIF , usually by Melisandre. Here’s her retelling the prophecy that foretells his/her coming: There will come a day after a long summer when  the stars bleed  and the cold breath of darkness falls heavy on the world. In this dread hour a warrior shall draw from the fire a burning sword. And that sword shall be  Lightbringer , the Red Sword of Heroes, and he who clasps it shall be Azor Ahai come again, and the darkness shall flee before him. And again, later: When the red star bleeds and the darkness gathers, Azor Ahai shall be   born again amidst smoke and salt   to wake dragons out of stone.               There’s even a story to go along with the legend, about the first Azor Ahai

GAME OF THRONES fans have gone into overdrive since first look images for season seven were revealed last week and now  Nikolaj Coster -Waldau has responded to a fan theory sparked by one photo.                  One image shows Queen Cersei (played by Lena Headey) sitting on the Iron Throne while her brother Jaime stands behind her in solidarity.  Fans of the HBO series were quick to notice the sword that was fastened to the knight's hilt, Widow's Wail, and noted that  it could mean Jaime would kill his sister .  Now the actor himself has insisted that the theory "absolutely" makes sense and is perfectly plausible.  "I heard that theory, and it absolutely makes sense," Nikolaj told Harper's Bazaar. "It would be a perfect little nod.  Game of Thrones: Fans believe that Jaime could kill his sister after this photo was revealed                      Game of Thrones: Nikolaj said that the theory is plausible and Jaime coul

Danaerys heads for the Iron Throne - and potentially a big cheque   G ame of Thrones has usually returned to our screens by this time of year, welcoming in the longer days and warmer temperatures with a healthy dose of blood, deceit and dragons.  The penultimate, seventh season of   Game of Thrones   will not air until mid-July, however – and will be two episodes short of the usual 10 That hasn't stopped rife speculation about the cast's pay packets for the HBO flagship show, however. Reports are emerging from   Los Angeles that Thrones' cast members are securing deals that would see them paid even more than the record-breaking salaries earned by the stars of The Big Bang Theory and Friends. A ccording to   The Express , main stars   Emilia Clarke   (Daenerys),   Kit Harington   (Jon Snow),  Lena Headey   (Cersei Lannister),   Peter Dinklage (Tyrion Lannister) and Danish co-star Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Jaime Lanister) are set to earn up to £2 million

Price/Getty Images for SXSW) Last month, a quartet of  Game of Thrones  heavyweights — showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss together with actors Maisie Williams (Arya) and Sophie Turner (Sansa) — visited the South by Southwest festival in Austin, TX to talk about the show. We  reported  on  everything  that went down, from the discussions of what’s coming in seasons 7 and 8 to the casting process to the funny behind-the-scenes shenanigans. Now,  JasonJyeah  has uploaded a video of the panel to YouTube. The panel is nominally a question-and-answer session, with Williams and Turner asking the questions and Benioff and Weiss answering them. It often breaks down, though. We’ve compiled a little guide to some of the more interesting moments below. Watch away.                             A guide: 1:10 — On the difficulties of casting the Stark girls. They looked at 300 girls for Arya before finding Maisie Williams. 2:25 — Williams and T

A prophecy has foretold the return of a legendary hero to save Westeros Jon Snow has been the biggest enigma on  Game of Thrones . Was he really dead, we all asked? (He wasn't.) Was he the secret son of Rhaegar Targaryen and Lyanna Stark? (He was.) And now we have another big question: is  Kit Harington 's character really the "prince that was promised"? As pointed out by  Mashable , both the HBO show and George RR Martin's books have introduced us to a prophecy concerning Azor Ahai, a legendary figure who once defeated the darkness using his burning sword, named Lightbringer. The followers of R'hllor say he will soon be reborn as "the prince who was promised". Being a well-trained  Game of Thrones  actor sworn to secrecy on pain of death, Harington won't give much away. When asked by the Huffington Post whether Jon is the reincarnation of Azor Ahai, he would only say: "I think you have to wait and see what happens this y
