There’s been yet another sighting of Kit Harington, this time hanging out with fellow cast member Nathalie Emmanuel in a Belfast restaurant.
Yes, Kit’s locks are looking long and lustrous, #HairWatch followers! Let the speculation wheel continue to turn. Pics courtesy of Sébastien Durand .
WOTW user Boudica also pointed us to these pics of Kit in what looks like a railway station, presumably protesting the fact everyone knows his character isn’t staying dead…
…while this Tweet confirms Kit is currently staying in Banbridge.
When Kit Harington walks into the hotel you’re in. ????
— Jan Gilmore (@ThirteenRivers) July 28, 2015
Banbridge is home to the Linen Mill Studios where Thrones films every year. A pretty good indicator that he’s sticking around!
In other filming news, RTE Ten report that cinematographer PJ Dillon has rejoined the Game of Thrones crew for its sixth season.
Dillon served as Director of Photography for the Season Two episode What Is Dead May Never Die and has subsequently worked on shows such as Vikings, Penny Dreadful and Ripper Street.
It is not known yet which episodes he will work on.
Hodor?
Sam,
Hodor.
Hair looks short to me, but him being in Belfast this long is a good sign.
Harington looks pissed in those two photos …..cant say I blame him,its got to be getting old for him now
What is dead may never die.
When are we likely to get some Greyjoy, ToJ casting news?
Tales of these months will be interesting when and if Kit talks about it after season 6 or during it.Got to be getting on his nerves these photo clicking when he is trying his best to stay dead but it ain’t working. HAHA! And yeah HODOR!
I’m sorry for Kit but I’m happy we’re having confirmations he’s still in Belfast =’)
Thanks for the good news, WotW!
FTW….WTF,
Was gonna say the same. Dearest Kit Watchers, be discreet and respectful. The first two pictures are a good example of what to do, the other two are a good example of what not to do.
If you’re caught, just tweet about it and say so.
Melisandre cut it a bit after ressurecting him.
(On a serious note, it’s probably not dirty and full of product like it normally is on set, but he definitely trimmed it down since the bun)
The hair looks much shorter to me… but that’s okay. Maybe Jon Targaryen Stark has shorter locks 😉 hahaha
Still in Belfast also a good sign.
This is a never ending speculative discussion. I cannot wait for season 6 anymore.
You know nothing, GOT Fandom.
Poor Kit, he looks pissed. But, on a side note, he should also be proud that the fandom loves and cares so much about this whole thing. I google searched Kit Harington and cannot get over how much attention this whole Jon Snow thing is getting. No ever FICTIONAL event has ever caused such ruckus.
Is anyone REALLY surprised? No? Me neither.
I am sure he is a lovely young man, but I really don’t understand all the Kit love.
Laura,
Totally agree!
Deesensfan,
Clearly you don’t remember who shot JR.
Kristin Ewing. Hair Watch isn’t much compared to that. Kit has been spending way too much time in Belfast/N.I. to be perma-dead, I think that much is obvious, I have no idea why anyone’s freaking out anymore.
The only question now is what version of Jon we’ll get in season 6.
Sue the Fury,
Oh, here. Have all of my heart, Sue.
Leave the guy alone. He looks like he’s so over it in those last two pictures. OK, we get it. He’s in Belfast. He hasn’t cut his hair. Now just stop stalking him.
PJ Dillon for Manderly?
Poor Kit — I hope D&D give him combat pay for this.
Countdown until Kit throws a punch….and I won’t blame him!
I feel bad for Kit. If you’re going to take a picture of the lad, when he specifically asks you not to, do it when he isn’t looking.
Part of the business, I suppose.
Kristin Shepard. She was Sue Ellen’s sister, JR’s mistress and Christopher’s, who Bobby and Pam adopted, mother, but never a Ewing.
It’s hard to imagine, nowadays, how big Dallas was in the early 80’s. If internet had been around, JR being shot would have broken it, those days.
Judging by the oyster card readers (the yellow patches on the gates), the two lower pictures appear to have been taken in London, not Belfast.
So far as I recall, in various of the interviews that followed the S5 finale, Harington stated both a) that Jon Snow was definitely dead and b) that he himself was not coming back to the show.
a) fair enough, was technically the truth at the time, even though, as we strongly suspect, it seems unlikely to remain that way for long, b) as time goes by, seems more and more to have been a bare-faced lie. If that is so, then, in my view, Harington deserves all the hassle he’s getting.
They aren’t even trying to keep him hidden. I imagine it would be far too difficult a thing to do. Although, my Unsullied co-workers don’t follow any GOT news sites and as such they are still in mourning or trying to have a bit of hope Mel can raise him. Of course, the same guy also is also terrified of that because, “What will he be raised AS.”
I am in the “just let him and it alone” camp too. I am at the point of enough is enough already. Give the poor guy a break and let’s get on with other news. WE GET IT….he trimmed his freakin’ hair….he is and has been in NI.
Pigeon
Right? Put a timer at the top of the page for how long it takes before KH has enough and let’s someone have it. 😉 I sort of wish there were other people of stronger minds close to these asshats who are so brazen who would shame *ring ring ring* them down after doing it!!
No. He said he wasn’t going to be in season 6. Not “the show”. At least that is my recollection.
Social media has largely helped society with quick info and the ability to communicate in war situations and chaotic situation. But these pictures are a good example of how social media has harmed society as well. Now someone will post this up on tumblr and 4 or 500 people will respond to it each time it’s posted as if Kit Harington is some zoo animal behind a cage you stop and point and gawk at.
jon and missandei in a bar – jon in meereen confirmed? 😉
Leave Kit alone!! (screams hysterically)
This PROVES it. Jon Snow will get a haircut, move to Meereen and be with Missandei – this will be the central theme of Season 6. 😉
Can we please move away from the “Kit lied to us and deserves this” talk? He said he wasn’t coming back because either a. he was told as much and believed it, or b. he was told to lie and did it. At the end of the day, he is an employee, a well-paid one, but an employee nonetheless and has to do what his bosses tell him. Let’s grow up.
Missandei getting stabbed in the dark?
Still, speaking of Dallas, how about resurrection a là Bobby for Jon Snow? He could wake up, in the beginning of WOW / next season, realizing FTW was just a bad, maybe premonitary, dream. 😛 Yes, I know it’s really bad and cheesy writing, but I don’t think intentional bad and cheesy writing would be beyond GRRM, and would really enjoy the book purists either trying to explain said writing, in case the novel came out first, or rant about horrible writing in the show in the likely case it didn’t.
I am totally obsessed with Jon Snow. Thus, I search the ‘Net every day for word of Kit Harington sightings. I’m sure it really sucks for him to be hounded mercilessly. But so many fans love him and can’t imagine GoT without him! Sorry, Kit, but this situation is driving us all mad!!! We love you! Thank you, WOTW for bringing us news of our boy!
well his hair is definitely shorter.
Did anybody really legit think he was done with the show? Must admit that KitWatch is starting to get a bit dull.
Casting news seems pretty thin on ground for this time of year.
wow…..brain explodes in 3, 2, 1…..
I’m of the siesta,
If anyone can find a video of that guy crying and screaming for us to leave Brittany alone and can substitute Kit’s name in the tirade, I will love them forever.
But but but but but but his hair is shorter!!
For many of us book readers, this is not surprising at all. And that’s what D&D were trying to combat. For me personally, their statements started to create some element of doubt in my mind about whether JS was really dead – and that’s the point!! I 10000% believe for years that Jon is coming back in the book, but the way the actors and production talked about it, I started to engage the doubt that Jon really WAS dead. That’s great for the show frankly. I am not a casual fan – the casual fan probably isn’t tuned in yet. And the devoted fans, they made us have moments of doubt, and keep us excited and tuned in. That’s all good in the long run.
So, good to see you Kit. I can’t wait to see how Jon Snow comes back, and can’t wait to see what Season 6 holds for us!
KRISTIN!
I remember. 😉
Somehow, somehow, some people stated as such, when it was obvious that he was coming back well before he was killed.
It’s not poor Kit. It’s filthy rich Kit. The reason he gets paid so much to act is because people go gaga over such things. So this comes with the territory. You can’t have it both ways if you’re a famous actor who was fake killed as a cliffhanger. People shouldn’t be total dicks, though. But fans are gonna fan.
Laura,
Totally agree!
Good news from Belfast!
Well, he cut his hair. Maybe the character needs a fresh cut this season 😉 Now ,leave Kit alone…He’s amazing person and actor.
HBO should send Kit wherever GoT is filming for season 6, misdirecting everyone’s attention away from the actual shoots.
His hair’s much shorter than before. The Instagram pic showing the back more clearly made it more obvious.
On the other hand, he’s still in Belfast, so there’s that.
S2 What Is Dead May Never Die remains one of my all time favorite GoT episodes, so this is great news. The cinematography was fantastic in that episode.
I’m as happy as anyone to get confirmation that Kit Harington is in Belfast, and therefore almost certainly still involved in the production of Game of Thrones. And I certainly don’t blame people for wanting to take pictures and then share them. Game of Thrones is perhaps the most popular show in the world. This level of intense scrutiny is to be expected, particularly for an actor playing a beloved character whose fate was left as such a major cliffhanger. If Kit is going to be in Northern Ireland for a while, then he shouldn’t be expected to stay out of sight – he has a right to roam the streets if he wants to. If people are going to snap photos of him from a safe distance as he does so, that’s fair game.
But at the very least, his personal space should be respected. In those pictures of Kit in the railway station, he’s clearly frustrated by the photographer’s close proximity and blatant lack of discretion. That level of confrontation stands out as an example of when fan enthusiasm ceases to be fun and starts to cross the line. It reminds me of this interview that was published just a few months ago:
“The thing Kit always says is that he’d do the acting for free. It’s all this other stuff that he gets paid for – the fame, the attention, the loss of privacy.” – David Harington (Kit’s father)
“Whatever the project, whether I believe in it creatively or not, whether I am getting up at 5am for a 17-hour shoot, the acting never feels like work. It’s all this… this is the work. The selling of it. People taking pictures of you in the street as if you were a rare bird of prey.” – Kit Harington
http://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2015/may/03/kit-harington-the-acting-never-feels-like-work-baftas-2015-television
Poor guy. If that’s how he feels, he’s certainly earning his money this offseason.
It’d better not be that he had his hair cut cause he’s done with GOT but stayed in Belfast for a bit longer to hang out with the cast. Maybe he’ll have a break before he resumes filming in autumn or something.
Off-Topic Otto,
There’s being a fan and being a stalker. As far as I see, Kit doesn’t really court the attention which comes with his job as an actor ( not a celebrity) and , like any human being, deserves a private life. He seems quite good-natured about posing for pics and the like so far but you wonder how long it’ll be before the nut bars make him much more reclusive.
It is known. 🙂
But are we totally convinced from those two bottom pictures that Kit Harrington is as ticked off by the pictures as some on here are making it sound?
Heck, for all we know he could have been giving a recreation of his “don’t do it Ollie” moment.
Jon Snow & Missandei scene confirmed
I am okay with this.
Randa Noyce,
I do not… enlighten me?
Yeah, there’s a reason why actors get so defensive sometimes. Kerry Ingram just got bombarded on her Instagram because she posted a funny pic of her at a family barbecue and her followers screamed “Too soon!” and other nasty stuff, and she was forced to take the picture down. Mind you…this is a fictional character! And she was just having fun with it like we all should. Then there’s the regular “slut” and “bitch” comments Mophie get on a regular basis on their Instagram feeds. I know these are problems 95% of the SAG membership would like to have, but it gets to a point where it becomes creepy and stalker-isn.
From what I can tell, the GoT actors are pretty good to the fandom. Now one of them is in a potentially awkward position where he has to preserve a surprise for THE FANS and, possibly, for the author to reveal himself in an upcoming book, but that very fandom won’t just back off even a little bit.
I wonder if CVH has been spotted anywhere around there.
For those who are sick of the Kit watch, well, I really don’t think its going to stop anytime soon, so get used to it!
how severe a mindf**k would it be if HBO was paying Kit some sum to just hang around Belfast to make people think Jon’s back, or some form of him. And then s6 begins and ends and no Snow or Jon Targ – boom jokes on us.
that would be shitty of them to do. And so I’m just throwing this out there as a piece of speculation for fun.
And you can be prepared for those who are sick of it to state that they are as they have the right to….so get used to it!
I can’t wait for this whole Kit/hair watch thing to be over, seriously it’s really tedious and we all know that jon will be back in one way or another.
Dolorous Methuselah,
Another person posted similar photos of him from the same station and day (frustrated face, hand up as if to say “stop taking photos”) and said that Kit wasn’t happy to have his photo taken and told him it was rude. Some people have no respect…
Lucius,
Future King and Queen of Westeros
Kit seems like a cool dude. Sucks that “fans” keep stalking him and going against his wish not to be filmed in public. Hopefully he’ll get a nice little bonus this year for all the trouble.
JCDavis,
Oh they can state as much as they want LOL!!!!!! Doesn’t bother me
Im just saying… for their sakes….. its not gonna stop
Really didn’t mean it like it was bothering me.. Haha!
Ravyn,
That’s what I was thinking as well…what if a princess Diana incident were to occur over this?
trish,
A fear of mine, not gonna lie ! hahaha
Carice is in Belfast 🙂

If he’s really a Targaryen like most believes, he will be resurrected by fire and then his hair will be in a color like Danny’s. So the hair being trimmed wouldn’t matter.
That’s what I’m hopefully imagining for in Season 6. =)
caliopesnow,
It’s very possible the shorter hair is because he’s filming flashback scenes from before Jon Snow headed to the Wall.
PJ Dillon looks like an older version of Art Parkinson (Rickon)
H.Stark,
Yay! I like CVH… she seems so cool! And shes a beauty!
Kristy G.,
But why? what for? that would be interesting..
He’ll be back . I just have it in my mind that the end of season 6 episode one will be tower of joy flashback , ned picks up baby Jon he opens his eyes skip to present time next scene Mell says the ” old words ” and he will be born again . Or they switch to a funeral pyre and jons. Body don’t burn would be even better . Than she goes over the body and says the old words and he awakes and cuts her head off . I think she’s gonna claim the shireen burning was to awake him trading the red god one soul for another
The red vendor,
That may buy her a few more episodes , ultimately I think Jon kills Mel
Eumina01,
It is known…..not all Targs have the silver white hair and not all Targs have violet/purple eyes. So Jon Targaryen could easily still have dark hair and dark eyes.
The red vendor
That doesn’t seem half bad at all. I do doubt that he would immediately awaken/be reborn and cut Mel’s head off though. That is just wishful thinkin’. I do think she won’t make it through season 6….but there are many ways for her to make her exit. I personally like the AA comes alive who takes her for her horrid interpretation of the fire messages. She isn’t that great at getting it right. People like Shireen pay the price for her mistakes.
Maybe Jon don’t know and finds out about it a lil later , the Starks hate the killing of children and I think Jon will kill her before the end of season 6
Deesensfan,
Not sure, but I have a feeling that regardless of whether or not “The Winds of Winter” gets published prior to the start of Season 6, there will be numerous flashbacks throughout the season. I suspect one or more of Bran’s visions will involve a bit younger Jon Snow. I don’t have any proof or inside info… just a hunch.
Personally, I’d love for Kit Harington to be back on a full-time basis with GoT. I’m not sure that will be the case, though. :/
I want him to either warg into Ghost, then be resurrected by Melisandre, or rise as Azor Ahai when his fellow Night’s Watchmen burn his body.
JCDavis,
I think Jon killing Mel would be the perfect exit . I’d be fully satisfied with that
I like the idea of his body not burning and Mell will misinterpret her vision in the flames and really it’s that Jon will kill her , I’d love to see her Vision misinterpreted threw the show , like show everyone the vision don’t let it be crystal clear what it is but when Jon kils her all the audience cheers cause it works perfectly and goes with what she says of her vision . Like when she told Mathos seaworth about death by fire
I have never agreed with the sentiment that because actors/singers/athletes are paid millions of dollars that gives the public the right to invade their privacy or expect to receive any details on their private lives. I am not sure when society started feeling entitled to the personal lives/privacy of performers, especially those who are into performing for the art itself and have acquired celebrity only as side effect. Yes, the public contributes to their earnings by buying a show/album/etc but the return is simply their work/art. People should enjoy it and live it at that.
So yes, poor Kit is correct. I would go insane. And this seems to be a problem more so for the newer generation of actors, in the past people had the grace to let people like Streep, De Niro be actors and retain a bit of the enigma that used to be standard for the golden age of Hollywood. I guess is just part of this electronic era where everyone is watching everyone but not really seeing them.
Sorry for the rant. As for my beloved Jon, after getting over the shock of reliving his stabbing (reading was hard enough, watching it was way worse), I decided that Jon is alive/not dead and forever gone until GRRM tells me he’s not, only then will I accept his fate.
Mel still has to get to winterfell
Also could PJ’s return be another sign that we’ll be seeing more iron islands stuff?
Did you mean she has to get back to the Wall? She’s already there. Why would she need to go to Winterfell? (other than killing any/all of the Boltons)? 😀
Kristy G.,
Because of her vision that she told Stannis about.
Chris,
I hope so , that’s an intresting point , didn’t he actually play the priest who baptized Theon ?
She does have tp get to winterfell , she may die there , she sees Bolton banners burn as she dies herself , that could be where she dies? But how she dies is the real question ?
Danny,
Are you old enough to recall what happened to the Beatles each time they tried to go out in public? That was the 60’s.
I hate to compare Kit Harington to John Lennon….that didn’t end well. People/fans can go too cray cray and THAT is exactly why I don’t like this over the top fan worship of any popular actor/musician … And before anyone says “oh GoT’s fans would never do that”….never say never. I am sure that John Lennon just thought he was returning from a day at work recording music.
Which she likely misinterpreted… She was probably seeing Sansa walking along the walls of Winterfell (as Sansa has reddish (auburn) hair).
Ok, enough is enough. Leave the guy alone. Speculate all you want but geez, no one deserves this. As for me, I am going to avoid posts of this type. I just have no interest at this point (and yeah I remember JR – hated the show and laughed at all the hullaballoo)
Danny:
this
I am old enough to remember the Beatles, and know at least as far back as the silent movies, people went bonkers for entertainers. Actually probably ever since the first person gossiped something into a friends ear)
I think
Jon kills her with longclaw At winterfell
I thought the same thing… how awesome would it be to have Lady Stoneheart be around this upcoming season? Heh… maybe SHE would be the one to kill off Melisandre, if Mel does end up at Winterfell. 😀
Kristy G.,
No, I don’t think she misinterpreted it. I think she saw it right, because she never said she saw Stannis.
Yes that was in London, he went to London over the weekend and then he obviously went back to Belfast again at some stage after the weekend.
He only stated that he wasn’t coming back for season 6 in an Entertainment Weekly interview, that interview was copied by a lot of other sources. The big thing to remember about that interview is that it was done something like 7 months ago. It was done directly after they had finished shooting season 5.
At that stage the season 6 scripts wasn’t even written yet, it is very likely that he believed he would not return at that stage. They were very sneaky to use such an old interview as the main source for Jon Snow’s death. And perhaps this is exactly why they did it.
Or he could just have been lying, they would not want to spoil their cliffhanger directly after it was screened.
He might do flashbacks but it seems like any important flashback that would involve him would be where he was a baby. In season 1 he is suppose to be 17 years old, so if he was doing flashback scenes it would seem very likely that he would have to shave that beard.
He was again been spotted with Ben Crompton today:
https://twitter.com/niamhyniamh24/status/626446740800073728
I hope we are getting a lot of Edd next season!
In the show besides balon a death( which will happen this season ) and shireen burning all her visions have came to life . Mathos dying , battle in the snow ( wildlings) , the leaches I think Mel has to make it to winterfell
The last two photos look to be at London tube because I see the oyster card sensors….
The red vendor,
She told
Jon snow he knows nothing to , that was cool
Don’t you two start!! 😉 Spankings are in order for anyone who mentions LSH. 😛
Talvivaara,
Close enough. She was Sue Ellen Ewing’s sister. (Give me a break, I was like 3 when that aired. But my family watched it religiously. 🙂 )
RoseMcQueen,
I think several people are discussing that in the comments right above you? It doesn’t matter anyway. It seems like Kit went back to London over the weekend and then came back to Belfast.
JCDavis:
Unfortunately, I was born too late and missed out on Beatlemania. I’m in my 30s. I would have paid a fortune to see the Liverpool lads in concert, though as a consolation I did see Sir Paul in concert and it was great! But yes, I had forgotten about the Beatles and the mania they inspired but in my head the Beatles are just not comparable to anyone. 🙂 Though if I remember correctly, the mania was part of the reason why they stopped doing concerts and I would imagine it also contributed to them breaking up as it exacerbated the differences that already existed among the four friends.
Yes and no. The ubiquity of the Internet is due to technology that has led to the huge increase in the number of channels as well as the increase of other entertainment media (DVRs, DVD/BR, computer games). You probably could not have a world with both the Internet and individual programs with the popularity that shows could have up to the mid-late 1980’s.
But the other thing is that they could not have hidden Larry Hagman’s decision to return for so long back then. Sure, there were rumors that people saw him on the set: but very few people walked around with cameras on their person then whereas everybody does now.
Still, do not forget that the vast majority of people pay no attention to even their favorite shows when they are not watching those shows. It is the exception rather than the rule for people to read about these things on the Internet. So, a lot of people will still be surprised when Jon returns.
Well, if they see a baby in Belfast with long curly black hair and a scruffy beard, then we’ll know that they are shooting that scene…..
Is there any news about Art Parkinson (Rickon) coming back??
Yeah, you should see some of the horrid, rude comments on Maisie’s and Sophie’s Instagram accounts. I just hope they never run into some of those people in person. There are some sickos out there.
Seems Sophie’s back in Belfast too. 🙂

*snerk* 😀 😀
Totally off-topic: Okay, so I missed your birthday and wanted to make you guys a card, but got a bit carried away. Couldn’t decide which I liked so did loads. If anyone has a couple of minutes to spare and doesn’t mind crappy photoshop and lame jokes, this is how I imagine the GoT characters would celebrate 😀
Haven’t Imgur’d before but hopefully that link works. Feel free to point out spelling mistakes and anything else I’ve missed and no, the hat colours have no significance.
EDIT: and if anyone likes my giant killer penguin theory, try about half way down 😉
JCDavis,
OMG! I remember when Lennon was shot, like all my aunts and female cousins were calling each other crying and freaking out.
Glad to hear PJ Dillon will be returning, Penny Dreadful is gorgeously shot and the Gothic atmosphere created by the cinematography team is amazing.
Kristy G.,
Mel on the show (other than her belief that Stannis is Azor Ahai, which is notably one thing that neither the books nor the show ever really explained the basis for) is right in her visions — she saw herself walking the walls of Winterfell and the Bolton banners cast down, which means she will do those things. She just wrongly inferred from that the chain of events that would bring her there.
Also, Mel has seen that she’ll meet Arya again, so she’s not dying any time soon.
Waif-er grrrl,
I hope so too… Since the production is saying nothing about it, he’s the one with the burden.
First two pictures are OK, from the distance and non-intrusive. The last two pictures are unnecessary.
Lulu’s Mum,
Right let’s try that again here Imgur is really not user friendly if you’re trying to post more than one picture at a time 🙁 GKP has migrated to about one third of the way down 🙂
Off topic question, only because it came to me this morning for no apparent reason:
In ACoK, Jojen tells Bran that he has dreamed of a winged wolf chained to the earth and a three-eye crow trying to break him free. I had always assumed (along with most readers I suppose) that Bran is the winged-wolf because it makes perfect sense: He can’t walk so he’s chained to the earth and Bloodraven has promised that he would fly (meaning he will be able to warg flying creatures). However, couldn’t Jon also fit the winged-wolf green dream? If Jon is blood of the dragon, then he should be able to bond with and fly a dragon the way Daenerys does now and given his Ghost bonding no one can deny his wolf side, so he would literally be a winged wolf, wouldn’t he? As for Bloodraven trying to free him, that could just mean that he’s been trying to get Jon to discover his true destiny, whatever that is but Jon has always been reluctant to accept anything mystical. He doesn’t accept he’s a warg, he doesn’t want to go down to the crypts, he’s scared of his dreams. Anyway, it is probably still Bran but he may not the only Stark who ends up flying when all is said and done.
Yes there were a lot of Targaryens who had dark hair and dark eyes, even Jon’s own half sister had the Dornish features. Rhaegar is described as having purple eyes that are so dark it often appears black, and Jon’s eyes are actually described in a similar manner, only with grey eyes appearing to be black. It is perhaps possible that Jon does have Targaryen eyes.
She does misinterpret her visions, but I dont think she would misinterpret herself in the visions. It seems like she misinterpreted who would be taking Winterfell from the Boltons.
Melisandre is an interesting character, she does appear quite evil at times with her shadow babies and obviously when she burned Shireen. Burning a child is one of the worst things that you could possibly do. But just like Stannis at the time she truly believes that she is doing these deeds for the great good. Her actions are evil but I dont believe her motivation or intentions are bad.
Yep, it would have definitely broken it, and that damned song to which we were all subjected would have had millions of hits on youtube. *facepalm*
It’s things like this which make me feel like it’s time for a re-read. I had not remembered that, and it’s full of possibilities.
Lulu’s Mum,
It worked just fine for me, and they cracked me up.
Thanks!!! 🙂
I certainly remember the ‘Who shot JR?’ furore. When the tape was flown into the UK it was surrounded by so much security it made the news.
My brother was told whodunit (correctly) by a friend whose father worked in the business. I didn’t believe it until I saw it.
That sort of leak would be out in minutes on social media these days.
I’m amazed there aren’t more leaks.
The actors joke about HBO snipers, but they must genuinely fear for their jobs if they break confidentiality agreements, as hundreds of people work on the show and most details aren’t leaked.
Lulu’s Mum,
Bravo. Very well done. Do you have a lot of time on your hands? 😛 Please refer to photo in the Pit….”distracted by something shiny” and take a look at pointy arrow thingie. *coughcough* I would be distracted to!!!
Love it!
Nymeria Warrior Queen,
I wrote this very thing to Wimsey on another thread. It made me just about cry though. I would prefer to read the Harry Potter series for the umpteenth time. That said, I will start ASoIaF when I am done with my current set of books, Shadow of the Apt. Very good reading.
Laura,
*sigh*
I thought I was over LS, but Im not.
I would take LSH over Jon Snow any day.
Chris,
I have a hunch it was Sansa she saw in the vision, not herself at WF.
I just figured it (maybe something) out!
As someone above wrote, maybe Jons body won’t burn on the funeral pyre since he will be immune to the flames.
We know by a fact that he is not immune when he’s alive. He burnt his hand early in AGoT and in season one killing that wight, a wound that never really healed…
What I’m trying to say is that since he’s got both Ice and Fire in his blood, and his “abilities” become the opposite of what they are to Daeny (which has some “light” fire resistance) or Bran (in the books, they both warg and Jon is Ice atm) or even the Night King (who what we know of, is highly sensitive to fire). He must die and rise for his Targ sides to develop since the Ice side is death itself.
He is Ice (Snow) when he’s alive and Fire (Targ) when he dies and lives again. His sensitivity to fire proves when he burn his hand, we’ll see if the opposite is proved in season 6/WoW..
I find it hard to explain my thoughts here…it sound more obvious here than in my head…
Al Swearengen,
Al where were u for the WOTW anniversary weekend? I was hoping u would have something nice to say for once on the site u visit every day
Nymeria Warrior Queen, JCDavis, Ashara Dayne,
Thanks guys. I was just entertaining myself really but thought someone else might like it 😀
Hmmm, see what you mean about the pointy arrow thingy, I seem to have posted inadvertent low level porn. Having said that, the sexual elements ratio in the show is very skewed towards the girls so maybe I’m subconsciously redressing the balance a little 😉 Don’t know how to change the picture without deleting the whole lot and starting again so I’m afraid Jorah’s giant crotch arrow will have to stay where it is. That’s certainly not a sentence I ever imagined myself typing! 😉
Paul,
That doesn’t work, though, because she also saw the Bolton banners cast down, as she put it, and that didn’t happen.
Greenjones,
She was there already i believe
I think its absolutly adorable people think the show will include ToJ… LOL ok bud
Lulu’s Mum,
Oh No. Absolutely NOT on changing it!! Like I said, it is a nice distraction. And sorta tells you where MY mind is. Jorah is a favorite of mine too.
Lulu’s Mum,
HAHAHAHAHAH OMG! I’M DYING HERE! http://i.imgur.com/ZNvAvrV.png genius editing Lulu’s Mom!
Daughter of Winter,
She’d gone back to London for most of last week and the weekend in the meantime though.
JCDavis,
Well that’s the new t-shirt slogan sorted: Watchers on the Wall – A Game of Thrones Community for Breaking News, Casting, Commentary and Inadvertent Jorah Porn. Perhaps best not to include a picture if people intend to wear it in public 🙁
Tormund’s Woman,
Thanks chuck. It’s a sneak preview from S6: Jon is resurrected, freed from his NW vows, has a little party to celebrate and suddenly THEY are here. Even the Night’s King fears the mighty Pingu! 😀
Lulu’s Mum,
Lol great my 2 year olds fave word is caaaaaaaaaake. I showed the missus your cards and she loved them too!
We are fortunate to have lived in a time when not everything was dissected every second of every minute of every hour for MONTHS until there was no mystery left to it.
Moles town bastard,
And thank you too 😀 Your little one is very wise! If they had a lot more cake on the show there’d be a lot less fighting and general unpleasantness I reckon. And it would be really dull, so lucky for us viewers there isn’t. I do recommend having some to hand tho’ in case of favourite-character-meeting-horrible-end situations, which is going to happen to most of us at some point, let’s face it. Or if you’re ‘lucky’ like me and have some decent warning it’s coming you just fast forward straight through and can pretend it never happened. La la la can’t hear you because I have stuffed my ears full of cake 😉
Lulu’s Mum,
I was bubbling on plane home from Cyprus 3 years ago when Jon got stabbed!! I needed cake then! She asked my why I was crying I couldn’t tell her ( she’s unsullied ) when Jon got stabbed on the show she asked me if that’s why I was crying ( with a mixture of shock and grief in her eyes) and said she couldn’t believe I kept that a secret for 3 years
Not yet: but if the Boltons attack the Wall, and unleash the Walkers on themselves (or if the Wildlings defeat the Boltons at the Wall), then Mel might see it there. That would mean that her vision of walking the walls of Winterfell either were misinterpreted (she is somewhere else), a separate vision that she assumed was connected (which would be an understandable mistake), or a possible future that is not going to happen now.
Poor guy. Nothing is worth the loss of privacy. However, I love seeing a pic. Shorter hair can only mean
.
Wimsey,
Since we don’t see Mel’s visions, one can’t say for sure, but the show has greatly simplified her prophecy powers for ease of conveyance, so from the producers’ POV it makes more sense if her vision was what she says it was, and she just made improper inferences based on her presence there. Explaining how she interpolated two visions (that the audience hasn’t seen) of widely spaced events is more complicated.
Lulu’s Mum,
I think you are on a roll here. I’d love to see you do more of these on a regular basis! Lots of fun!
Fans have been hanging off Snow Cliff for four years now. I can’t blame people in an airport or a coffee shop for taking a photo of someone who is standing in a public place to relieve some of that cliffhanging tension.
Invading his privacy would be breaking into his hotel room, hacking his phone, hiding under the table when he’s at a restaurant recording his conversation. Taking his photo, when it is not wanted, is rude, but it’s not invading his privacy. He has to be …you know …somewhere private to be invaded. It’s not like he couldn’t get a dozen production lackeys to ge him food, coffee, particular pencils, whatever he wants.
A coffee shop, an airport, a public street, is not a location of privacy.
Not that I’m not totally done with Hairwatch and Kitspotting. He’s alive. We get it. Move on. But I’m not going to criticize fans who’ve been left hanging for years for taking a photo of a man in a public place.
HotPinkLipstick,
I see your point, but I do think being up in his face with a camera when he’s got his hand out in a ‘bugger off’ motion is still invasive.
This isn’t TMZ. I really think this site should ease of on stuff like this. Yes, we get it, Kit most likely is back in the show. But maybe just report it and don’t encourage this TMZ type behaviour.
Valar Dohaeis, I have a suggestion, the pics of Kit being posted, no doubtly gives fans reasons to believe Kit will return. So how much conversation can actually be said about his hair, or spotting him. Some post I have seen speculates “well….. he’s there a week it’s a funeral, if he’s there 2 months he’s returning”. I don’t believe any of that will determine 1, 2 , weeks or months if he’s filming. It’s far more fun to talk about, “What will happen to his character when he does return? I am in the minority that believe Jon will be reborn by Ice. I have commented on a previous post, S5 episode 10. When Jon is brutally stabbed by those traitorous dogs, he falls back. The camera moves in, as Ramin Djawadi brilliant score plays….slowly…. the ground underneath Jon’s body begins to turn a fluorescent glacier blue it starts to glow even brighter as the camera moves in. His eyes are very black he’s looking up as he lays there dying, the glacier blue lighting is over him, I rewined numerous times, someone or thing is standing over him, maybe ghost, I don’t know I’m just speculating. Here’s a theory, what if Jon, at the beginning of S6 starts descending down into the icy ground beneath him. Part of his destiny, will be to be reborn at The Wall, and the storyline will bring Ice dragons that have been living at this massive 700 ft structure to fight,.. I haven’t got that far yet.
Another theory I have is Jon, R+L=J is still a bastard. They didn’t get married that would make him a Rivers bastard who are descendent of Bryden Bloodraven Rivers and Blackfyre. I’m working on that new theory.
Will he be fire Jon?
Will he be Ice Jon?
Er, no: Jon would still be descended from the Targaryens and Starks, not from the Blackfyres.
Sean C.,
I had it in my head that Mel might give her own life (especially after all of the Stannis misreads) in exchange for bringing Jon back, but yes, now I remember her telling Arya that they would meet again…
Wimsey,
Is that your theory? I believe most likely yes. But, D&D, even G.R.R.M could change this story to a unpredictable ending. My point is, maybe they didn’t get married???? If he is not Ned’ s blood son, then he would be… Jon Rivers descendant of Rhaegar Targaryen, and House Blackfyre? How can he still be a Stark, if R+L=J and they weren’t married? I’m just saying its a possible ending with a twist.
If I wasn’t really sure about this pic I probably wouldn’t comment, but that’s not Missandei. Missandei and Greyworm are my favorite love story. She doesn’t wear her hair that long, and that’s definitely not Greyworm. Both of the actors have smaller frames than these people. And that is without a doubt, a well paid Kit Harrington lookalike. Have you notice the pics when they flew into Belfast and the real actors? They conveniently put a well-known pic of Kit, that’s outdated, next to the lookalike in the coffee shop! These Showrunners will go to extreme lengths to keep this under wraps I kid you not
The Seven The Smith,
Technically, he’d be Jon Waters or Jon Sand. He’s not a Blackfyre. That was a house started by legitimized Targaryen bastards. It is not the name given to all Targ bastards. Bloodraven was named Rivers because he is a bastard from the Riverlands. He was legitimized, but opposed the formation of House Blackfyre.
The Seven The Smith,
What?
Where’s the Tower of Joy located on the Westeros map? What land? Doesn’t matter, he would still be a Targaryen bastard, with the surname Rivers. Now I’m saying he would be reborn to be a backyard again, but he also has a claim to House Blackfyre
Nah, not dull : I’m sorry that Kit is annoyed, I get it, it’s tedious to be interrupted at every turn. But to tell you the truth, I’m glad to see the pics, and was so glad to see the first ones of him there in Belfast last week. A week before the last episode aired, he was on James Cordon; David Duchovney was on with him. Cordon asked Duchovney what advice he’d give Kit about the current situation. Duchovney said “Be grateful.” (maybe he said “gratitude.” same idea.)
No, I don’t recommend that the fans be a**holes and interrupt him in the men’s room or dumb stuff like that, I don’t condone them being pushy and rude. But he’s playing a character in whose outcome millions of people are emotionally invested. The poor kid is being pulled in a dozen directions: dealing with the fans, dealing with the rules placed on him, playing the part properly.
HBO snipers and tough rules be darned, this whole secret thing just may boomerang and smack them upside their corporate heads. They made us love Kit, if they think they are just going to pull him away from us and dangle him like a toy, then get no negative reaction from us, they are sadly mistaken.
I just don’t want the fans to take out their frustration with corporate bs on Kit. He does NOT deserve that. LOVE YA, KIT
The Seven The Smith,
I was saying, I don’t think D&D would have him reborn, to be another bastard, but…. The Blackfyre can have a legitimate claim to the Iron Throne. Isn’t Bloodraven the Greenseer? He’s a descendent of House of Blackfyre right?
Thronetender,
This probably sounds cynical, but what lengths do you think, the showruuners would go to keeping us occupied with this fiasco? This is a lookalike? including Missandei, who conveniently has her head turned and 20 pounds heavier. We’re smarter than they are, this charade will be uncovered.
:c Normally I would be jumping in joy over Kit Harington pics. But… I feel terrible and ashamed for looking at them now. The poor guy looks upset at those last pics. The first one has a ‘what the hell are you doing’ gesture followed by a ‘Look, I’m trying to film your favorite character and make this an enjoyable experience for you guys; why are you trying to spoil things?’ message on his face. So I guess this is where I draw the line for myself and stop looking for GoT updates. ;-;
Not gonna lie: it’s gonna suck bad for me LOL. It’ll be like going cold-turkey. But those last pics of Kit really show me how upset he is getting over this. Not only is his personal space being violated, but because he’s trying to film something we all love without spoiling it for everyone, it’s tough seeing his efforts go to waste. The whole world is looking for him (Kit is the living equivalent of ‘Where’s Waldo’; except we’re looking for a the handsome curly haired dude in the crowd as opposed to a red/white striped shirt guy). Sure, his hair is a walking spoiler, LOL. And yea some of us need that confirmation that Kit is back for more than a corpse cameo scene. But I couldn’t imagine living in his shoes right now; being holed up in a hotel for a few weeks/months to film something, all while trying to stay out of sight. Poor guy needs space. Or stealth tips from Solid Snake.
Sue the Fury,
ah 🙂 I didn’t read all the comments.
Poor Kit, though it’s a compliment in a way because we’re all so interested in his character’s fate. There was a headline in Vulture a couple days ago–“Kit Harington Is Slowly Realizing That the Next 9 Months of His Life Are Going to Be Hell”
http://www.vulture.com/2015/07/jon-snow-lives-kit-harington-spotted-in-belfast.html
LOL, did you ever think of yourself as laughing over the phrase “cock merchant?” What the heck, that’s part of the fun here. Your crotch arrow is fine, and the pics were hilarious and creative. Pigeon is a huge Jorah fan, she will probably like that arrow.
HelloThere,
Snap. But I think it’s either one or the other… It’d be a bit overkill to have them both at once. 🙁
Sean C.,
I agree with this.
HotPinkLipstick,
Particular Pencils! hahahah!
I haven’t read the books, but I really don’t care to see this LS character. Hope it doesn’t happen.
ash, Thronetender,
Thanks for the nice comments 😀 It’s really hard to tell if something you’ve done yourself might be remotely interesting to other people or if they’d just roll their eyes and hope you’ll go away and stop bothering them. At least it’s all together on another site so easily ignorable!
I’m being inspired by Hairwatch at the moment and thinking I’ll have a go at Jon with different ‘dos’. Probably better leave “cock merchant” well alone though and let people imagine what that could entail (male chickens obviously). I think Jorah’s giant crotch arrow is about as hardcore as it’s advisable to go 😉
Lulu’s Mum,
I loved them! they made me smile!
Sue the Fury,
Omg……everyone is up Kit’s ass about Jon Snow, not Roland from Testament of Youth (who actually was a REAL PERSON) or whatever character role he has in Brimstone or any other role he may or may not be doing. If you want to know about Jon Snow go to the freaking source. Chase George Martin or David/Dan tag team.
Let’s get real here people. You are chasing Kit Harington to get your “scoop” on GoT. As far as I can tell, unless you see a guy walking around in a long, black, fur and feather cloak accompanied by a larger than life white wolf you won’t get a jump on the fictional story.
Aim your cameras someplace else.
HotPinkLipstick,
Especially when he is holding up a hand obviously asking the photo not be taken. I see it is hard to empathize with the man…he is being paid a ton of money…that makes it okay to have your personal space invaded by total strangers. As I wrote above, this is a scary thing, not all people are “safe”. Before ya know it, KH will need a bodyguard or four to “help” keep these people out of his personal space.
Maybe its time to slow down on posting these photos? It seems to be just encouraging this kind of intrusion.
No one is in Kit Harrington’ s personal space except maybe a makeup artist. It’s not himmmmm! Do you think after all the secrecy about his character the showrunners are intentionally trying to hide, he would casually show up to get coffee? Some lookalike features are almost identical to the person they hire and pretend to be. It’s a distraction, to what I believe, will be alot more of these lookalikes, to hoodwink fans. WotW, Winteriscoming, and all other fan sites, would be better served not even having these imposters for us to waste our time talking about. Now I’m not saying, some pics of him couldn’t be the real Kit, but this one, and anymore, during crucial scenes he has to film, probably the next few weeks, will be imposters we’re looking at in my opinion. I’m just saying
Holy sh!t, there’s a new sighting photo of Kit has anyone seen it? He’s shown sitting on a throne, a porcelain one, guys this is a good sign that he’s coming back right?
I welcome PJ because mostly everything was great with What Is Dead May Never Die so I firmly believe that he’ll do a fine job.
Guys, guys, have u seen the latest kit sighting photo? I believe this is the most telling photo to date. Guys, he’s sitting on a throne, a porcelain one. This has to mean hes coming back! U can tell Kit wasn’t happy about getting such exclusive footage on camera, and why would he be it shows him spilling the beans! For the (hair) watch!
The Seven The Smith,
I am not buying this theory yet, friend. I get you are passionate about it, but it just doesn’t work for me. Some of the photos are obviously Kit Harington, even some of his other co-stars were on the plane with him. Unless you think THEY are also in on the huge hoax. I do not think that D & D have this sort of time to put to this. They have started filming….they have their heads wrapped around that now.
And do you think he will lock himself in his house during 10 months and stop living? Of course he goes in the streets and to the coffee!
The Seven The Smith,
I think that’s a completely ridiculous theory.
Thronetender,
I think everyone just needs to chill out a bit. It’s a great show but still just a show. Let them get it filmed without stalking the actors… which I find really quite creepy. Yes, they star in a show people love but that doesn’t give people the right to invade their private life. That is not part of their job description as an actor.
Lulu’s Mum,
It’s Tormund I’m afraid for. You know how he is… Stealing a she-bear, stealing a she-penguin- it’s all the same to him ;p Perhaps this is THE RECKONING!
I’m referring to the new article only, and possibly any new sightings if we see him out casually in the next few weeks. And yes D&D, HBO producers, had already had this farce in place weeks ago to throw fans off. We live in a world of social media, don’t you think they would go above and beyond to have a plan in place to manipulate that. D&D would go at any length to keep the possibly of the greatest cliffhanger of all time secret as long as they can. And if putting lookalikes out there, will distract us, that’s what they will do.
Unless Kit has an actual clone for a “lookalike” (Kit has one hell of a cowlick – hard to duplicate unless you’ve been cloned, really), it’s pretty much a given that it’s Kit in all the photos that have surfaced recently.
Gotta love conspiracy theorists, though. 🙂
Of course he won’t be lock away for 10 months that’s ridiculous , what I’m saying is, the real Kit will not be seen until he’s done with his portion of filming. So with keeping him under wraps, to avoid potential spoilers, they conveniently show him here, or there, to make us believe he’s in Belfast at a certain time during filming. He could be doing all his scenes for S6 and be done in 2 months or less who knows! The point is, hair sightings, Kit sightings, mean nothing!!! Let me ask you this, are your theories of his return based on Kit sightings? Or what you truly think will happen with this character with or without the sightings?
I’m glad you seem to enjoy what you think is a ludicrous possibility, along with conspiracy theorists. I will take this a step further, looking at the captions of these pics, it’s in America! Probably Philly from the brother’s cap, lol! I did a search, looking at various coffee houses in Belfast none of the decors are even remotely similar! We, including me being American are the only country, who have hand written scribble on a chalk board to display our menu! Laughing!! Hey you see what you want to see, the producers are hoping we believe this nonsense!!!
Apparently, you were rather selective in your search. In the search that I did, I found eateries in several different countries (Canada, US, England, Ireland, Sweden, Germany – just to name a few) that had chalk board signage like the one in the photos.
They were in a restaurant called “Home Restaurant”. It is indeed in Belfast. Doing an image search for Home Restaurant Belfast presented several photos that confirm that is indeed where they were.
So whatever. YOU believe whatever theory you like and I’ll do the same.
Only America has menus on chalkboards? Bwahahahaha.
Ohhhhhhh I get it. For a minute there, I actually didn’t clue in that you were trolling the site. *clap clap* Good job!
I’m going to go down the street now and buy a couple of things from my local store – the one that has the chalkboard signs in the non-U.S country I live in. 😉 If I see any doppelgangers I’ll update.
Kristy Gleason,
Kristy Gleason,
Well done! Google is a wonderful source of information! Is any one offended by my remarks? I’m sorry I didn’t know I wasn’t allowed to voice my opinions of the possibilities this could actually be true. I guess you and all the other Jon Snow hair watchers should start a fan club! How about The Jon Snow hair watchers club!! Or The Kit sightings club, it can consist of everthing you need to know from looking at this photo of his hair!! Laughing!!!!
Pigeon,
You know…I just don’t like that word trolling, I think it’s a easy way out to insult someone. You know nothing about me, I along with others on this blog can be here 24 hrs a day if we choose to, and should not have to be insulted by the likes of you. If you have to voice your arguments with insults I have no more to say to you on this comment. Valar Morghulis
The Seven The Smith,
Well, in truth I was congratulating you on almost succeeding in making people think you were serious, but hey if you’re insulted that I have chalkboard signs here too, so be it.
Ashara Dayne,
Laughing!!! Too funny,, ok bad example, all I was saying is, this could be a lookalike
Ok I’m new to blogging, what does trolling mean? Or when used on GOT fan sites TROLL, maybe I have a misunderstanding of the way in which it is used
Ok, if it’s a lookalike, what purpose does it serve? I’m missing your logic here.
The Seven The Smith,
I don’t want you to feel that folks are ganging up on you. But I do think that you should consider the topic that you are posting about and expect that many people are simply not going to agree with you.
If you have read any of my posts lately you will see that I am a “we already know what we know or need to know about Kit Harington, where he is or has been and his hair status”…time to move on. That said, I still don’t subscribe to the theory that there is some big hoax going on from the show runners, HBO or whomever, with clones or body doubles…that would be taking this all too far and in the end, if it were true, I believe too much for people to forgive and get over.
I think they did their part at misdirection already. Now they are on to making Season 6 and would want the fans to move forward as well.
JCDavis,
I can respect that. Well said. I just joined this blog, before I make any comments, I take the time, for example this article, and I read every single comment that has been posted. If I have something to share as a fan, or theory, I will, if not I enjoy reading other fans take. This is a great blog for GOT fans, I’m not here to be anything else but a fan, that’s all. I don’t do name calling, or too sensitive or take things personally and I like to challenge a good theory every now and then. I don’t think I was being ganged up on at all! Most of the comments on all the boards I’ve read are very funny, and deliciously informative about these characters that I love. I just don’t like it when you have an opinion and someone doesn’t like it, or they disagree with you, they have to be rude or insulting. Its some very intelligent bloggers on this site that have a lot of fun!
Lulu’s Mum,
ALL THE STARS!
My particular favourite is the Pingu one but I’m also in love with Cake or Die Trying, because: naturally. What else is worth fighting for?
Thanks to all who left nice comments, hope you got a smile out of it! I am going to have a go at some new hair dos for Jon post-resurrection. Being brought back from the dead is a good excuse for a new look I feel 😀
iridium you may have seen me rambling on here about hoping that giant killer penguins would turn up at Hardhome (it’s a long story but there is some logic behind it). I thought if D&D aren’t going to provide them I’ll have to do it myself. If I was part of the GoT universe “Cake or die trying” would be as good a motto as any, but feel free to borrow it if needed 😀
I hate to point out a negative possibility but has anyone considered that Harrington might have a cameo as a corpse or a possible flashback/more elaborated death sequence in the next season? They have only said he is definitely dead, not that he won’t be shooting any scenes.
Talvivaara,
I’d like to see a Ice Blue Eyed…White Hair version!
Normally, I feel pity towards the celebrities who are denied their personal space due to excessive media attention. But in this case, I say it serves Kit right for cooperating with the worst managed cliffhanger ever in TV.
I don’t feel bad for Kit. He’s rich, famous, and, like winter, he knew this had to be coming.
Nymeria the wolf,
A funeral scene shouldn’t take 8 days to film. I think he’s been spotted there at least that long.
My take on all of this is that- if Kit isn’t allowed to interact with the fans and he is “supposedly” dead……….. then, they are hiding something us fans for the Season 6.
Maybe they is one more stab to be seen!!!! NO!!!!!!
