OK
Season 5 is finished, and traumatically.
Season 6 iscurrently filming.
So, like expert Kremlinologists studying May Day photos to see who is up and who is down (Is Kropotkin still Minister of Defense? Why is Raskolnikov standing theree to the left of Pyotrivich, instead of 5 like last yeaear?"). we rely on …. what exactly?
Well, it seems that Kit Harrington was spotted at Wimbledon with LONG HAIR!
He has also had fan selfies taken at various bars in Belfast.
Rory McCann was spotted at a hotel frequented by Game of Thrones cast.
Natalie Tena and Art Parkinson (the Forgotten Stark) have been seen in Belfast.
So, the answer for our questions are:
1) Still dead, but this is Game of Thrones.
2) Not quite dead yet.
3) Oh, there they are!
Is Joe Dempsie "Still rowin'!", or has he been spotted in Belfast too?
Nell Tiger Free is hanging around, but it seems she has a Lannister Targaryean type boyfriend. (I blame her parents.)
So that may just be coincidental.
