Fans freak out after cryptic tweet from official Game of Thrones account

Game of Thrones might be over, but the fandom is alive and kicking. The latest buzz was about the alternate ending to the show that HBO shot, as revealed by Kristofer Hivju (Tormund), followed by Dean Charles Chapman (Tommen) saying that it should be released. Now, a cryptic tweet by the official Game of Thrones Twitter account has sent the fans in a frenzy. Read on!

The official Game of Thrones Twitter account tweeted out a random “Winter is Coming” that came out of the blue, and triggered an outbreak of speculations among the fans. Check the tweet out:

Winter is coming.

The first conclusion everybody jumped to was that a Season 8 remake was coming.

Season 8 remake is coming.

Me hoping this is a season 8 remake ? pic.twitter.com/Qcf3IDugc5

Plot twist: The whole Season 8 were just clips from John Snows dream and none of that really happened.

Hence winter is still coming. https://t.co/pshwwvhPya

Unless it’s a season 8 remake – delete your account.

Winter is disappointing… Just like Season 8

Thanks for reminding me how bad season 8 was.

Now, before you put your tinfoil hat on, there could be a rational explanation for this tweet. It’s almost December, so the tweet could simply be referring to just Winter. You know, the season?

If not that, the tweet could be hinting at another prequel series coming up. We recently saw HBO cancel The Long Night prequel series, and officially announce a new prequel series called House of the Dragon, which will revolve around the golden days of house Targaryen. Some fans also hoped that this could be a sign of a White Walker focused prequel series.

Of course this could be a possibility, as HBO is working on multiple ideas for the prequel series. Or, it could be that Season 8 was a massive joke on us and HBO is going to unveil the real Season 8 and say “gotcha!”

Game of Thrones might be over, but the cast of the show continue to be in news. Carice van Houten, a dutch actress who played the role of Melisandre in the series, recently came in news for canceling a television appearance in Belgium. Read on to find out why!

Van Houten was recently invited for a talk show, ‘The Appointment’, in Belgium. However, once learning that it would host Christoph D’Haese, the mayor of Aalst, Houten canceled her appearance.

The carnival held in March, featured a float with effigies of grinning Jews holding money, one carrying a rat on its shoulder. The float was widely condemned from all quarters. The mayor, D’Haese apparently claimed that it was all done in humor and saw nothing wrong in it.

Van Houten along with her associate, Halina Reijn, who is married to a Jewish soccer player, decided to pull out of the show. Phara de Aguirre, the Belgian show’s presenter wrote on Twitter, “No Halina Reijn and Carice Van Houten as advertised.” De Aguirre quoted Reijn as having called the mayor “an anti-Semite” and said Van Houten canceled out of solidarity.

It has been nearly seven months since the last episode of Game of Thrones aired. Now that the dust seems to be settling down on the show, the Blu-rays are out with some very exclusive content for its fans.

As reported earlier, Game of Thrones: The Complete Collection box set and Game of Thrones: The Complete Series Blu-ray and DVD sets, were released on December 3. Ever since the Blu-rays have been out, the deleted scenes have begun to hit the internet.

It turns out, if you have bought all the goodies of the show, you would have hit the jackpot with some never seen before footage from the show. As per Syfy, there is an exclusive clip from the mammoth battle sequence of “the long night” episode of season 8. The video is titled When Winter Falls.

In the video, Gwendoline Christie (Brienne of Tarth), Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Jaime Lannister), and Jacob Anderson (Grey Worm) talk about their experiences shooting the episode.

Christie in the videos says “Oh my goodness, it was overwhelming, You’re on this huge set, it’s filled with smoke. It feels like maybe a 1,000 people on the set with extras, crew, and cast.”

Whether we liked the episode or not, even the most ardent critic of the show have been appreciative of the effort that went behind shooting it. Directed by Miguel Sapochnik, “The Long Night” required 55 days of grueling night shoots across 11 weeks.

Entire cast and crew have gone on record talking about their emotional and sometimes even exhaustive experiences of shooting for the show. The behind the scenes footage gives us a slight peek into that experience.

If you’re someone that defends Game of Thrones’ ending, you might not be alone. Kristian Nairn a.k.a. Hodor feels that the criticism of Games of Thrones final season was undeserved. Speaking recently at Northern Michigan University, Nairn joined the rest of the cast in the defense of the show. The popular HBO show ended its run earlier this year and received some extreme reactions from fans and critics alike.

He was quoted saying:

“We’re all immensely proud of it, I know it was life-changing for all of us. I’m just sad that it’s over, I really am. And not just because I’m dead. […] I was very happy with the series ending, I understand why people were mad. But again I think deep down if people look into the motivation behind it I think they’re more just mad that it’s over.”

Nairn however, went on to add that because the show had stringent timeline for the final season, the makers had to let go off certain subtleties that they had shown in earlier seasons.

He said:

“I don’t think the criticism the show received was deserved.

I think the last season was excellent. My only qualm was that I felt that it could’ve been a little longer — I missed the Game of Thrones of old that paid such attention to small details — like a ten-minute dialogue scene. But, because the clock was ticking and they’re heading towards a conclusion, it lost a bit of subtlety and that was something people loved about the show, it was a show where even the small characters had a role to play.”

Every one who saw the show is always going to remember the Hodor character played by Nairn. He was one of the many actors on the show who had small but an influential character.
