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

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.

Scary Movie 6 returned after more than a decade, and the gamble paid off at the box office. The sixth installment debuted to $55 million domestically, the best opening weekend in the series' history, and went on to gross over $215 million worldwide as of late June.

Ahead of the movie's June 5 theatrical release, Wayans Bros. Entertainment launched a website called Subservient Ghostface, where you type a command and watch the masked killer carry it out on screen. It's a clever campaign that borrows directly from Burger King's famous Subservient Chicken stunt from 2004, swapping the chicken suit for the horror icon Ghostface from Scream.

Comcast's breakup sounds like an alarm bell for Peacock, Xfinity, and the monthly internet bill. At the service level, the answer is calmer. Current customers shouldn't expect subscriptions, billing, or broadband plans to change while the company works through the split.

NBC News reports that Comcast plans to spin NBCUniversal and Sky into a separate public company, moving Peacock, Universal, NBC, Telemundo, Bravo, theme parks, and Sky away from the broadband and wireless business. The separation is expected to take about a year.
