Send a raven: (Spoiler Alert) Jon Snow lives!

By Adam Poltrack September 28, 2015

Reports of Jon Snow’s death have been greatly exaggerated. That’s right, King Crow, The Bastard of Winterfell, Lord Commander of the Night’s Watch, is alive and (apparently) well. As reported by Screen Crush, a photo (below) from the set of Game of Thrones’ sixth season shows Snow looking hale and hearty and — while we’ve known for months that he was only mostly dead (which isn’t the same as all dead) — seeing is believing.

Actor Kit Harington had previously been spotted in Belfast, one of GoT’s filming locales, and even confirmed in interviews that the show was a part of his future and not just his past, but concrete evidence is concrete evidence.

How he managed to survive a barrage of stab wounds remains to be seen but this isn’t just a flashback. In the photo, Jon carries Long Claw in his sheath, which is of course the sword given to him by Lord Commander Mormont of the Night’s Watch. He also appears to be wearing armor fashioned after Ned Stark’s fatigues … the plot thickens.

We’ll have to wait and see how the character factors in going forward. Rumor has it that he’s headed for a massive battle with the Umbers, Boltons, and plenty more in a shoot that may just be the largest in the series’ history.

In other GOT news, Max von Sydow has been cast as the Three-Eyed Raven, and former Deadwood antihero Ian McShane will also appear in season six. The former is also a member of the Star Wars: Episode VII — The Force Awakens cast, making him a part of the biggest big-screen and small screen franchises going. He’ll be taking over for Struan Rodger who portrayed the Three-Eyed Raven briefly in season four.

The photo of Harrington as Snow comes just days after fans got an unsanctioned, spoilerific look at Daenerys Targaryen on set in Spain. If you like surprises, you might want to just stay away from the internet until season six debuts in April of 2016.

If you like The Sopranos, watch these three great modern TV shows now

The cast of The Sopranos.

A quartercentury after it first premiered, The Sopranos retains a remarkably strong foothold over the television landscape. The show shaped what's become known as antihero TV, and it remains one of the very best shows of its kind to ever air. We're no longer in the Golden Age of TV, but there are still plenty of modern shows that owe at least a small debt to what The Sopranos was able to pull off.

While none of these series is exactly like The Sopranos, we've gathered three great shows that have something in common with that show. Whether you're just finishing up your first watch or have seen the show hundreds of times, these shows may help to fill the hole that it leaves behind.

10 best movies set in L.A., ranked

Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling dancing in La La Land.

One of the great ironies of Hollywood – that great, self-celebrating monstrosity – is that it is reflexively embarrassed by itself. Most movies that are set in Los Angeles or are about the film industry either actually endeavor to spend most of their time outside L.A., like Preston Sturges’ peripatetic movie-biz satire Sullivan’s Travels or, if they must stand pat in the City of Angels, resign themselves either to conspicuous grime (á la Training Day) or conspicuous kitsch (á la Clueless).

Filmmakers often shy away from truly incarnating L.A., which makes sense for a town that is comprised largely of strivers from elsewhere who are there not by preference for the locale, but due to deep-seated inclination toward stardom. But despite themselves, the great L.A. movies often end up glorifying that flat-top land of pavement and promise, thereby creating the legend that has supplanted the reality in the world’s estimation of California’s most populous city. Here is a list of 10 of the best L.A.-set films, limited to one film per director.
