People went crazy Tuesday after a photo of Game of Thrones actor Kit Harington surfaced arriving in Belfast. Belfast is one of the few cities where the popular HBO show is filmed and it has fans asking questions. The GOT fan site, Watchers on the Wall, caught Harington exiting the terminal with his bag. Reports say it was the same plane fellow GOT actor Tom Wlaschiha boarded on. Take a look:

For those who aren’t privy to the show, Harrington played one of the shows main characters in Jon Snow. The show, famous for killing all its central protagonists, kept Snow for five seasons until its current season finale. Spoiler Alert: Snow was killed Julius Caesar style by his fellow Nights Watch brothers, “For the watch” they uttered before each member took a stab at him (literally). It was a rough episode that left many fans upset since Snow was the only true good guy left in the show.
While “all men must die (Valar morghulis)” there are many theorists that insist that he is not truly dead. Entertainment Weekly talked to George RR Martin four years ago about Snows death in the Song of Ice and Fire books, which the show is based on, and his response was “Oh, you think hes dead do you?!” Leaving fans till this day waiting for the next book in the famous series. After the Season Five series finale, EW went back to talk to Martin to re-ask about the topic and his answer stays honest saying “If there’s one thing we know in A Song of Ice and Fire is that death is not necessarily permanent.”
For now, we will have to wait and see what George RR Martin and showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss have in store. Season six of Game of Thrones will air sometime in Spring 2016! Fingers are crossed that Snow is alive to reclaim his title as leader of the Nights Watch.
