EW followed up the photo with an interview with Isaac Hempstead Wright, who’s played Bran since the start of the show. This is the first interview with a cast member based entirely around Game of Thrones. The promotional push has begun.

We do a little theory housekeeping at look at the notion that Westeros connects to Essos through the Lands of Always Winter. Use your imaginations, people!

Incidentally, the vote is WAY lopsided on this one, but I suppose that’s to be expected.
Christmas is over, but we revisited what a bunch of cast members did during the holidays.
