Who knew Barack Obama was such a big Game of Thrones fan?
Warning: Spoilers!!!
David Nutter, who directed the final episode of Season Five, describes how he met the President of the United States recently and Barack Obama was more than a little bit concerned about the fate of Jon Snow.
We’re afraid Nutter had some very bad news for him.
“Three weeks ago, I was the in the company of the President of the United States,” Nutter told EW.
“He turned to me, put his hand on my shoulder, and said, ‘You didn’t kill Jon Snow did you?’ I said, ‘Jon Snow is deader than dead.’ I thought I was going to be sent to Guantanamo or something, but fortunately I’m here – but he’s dead.”
Stannis Baratheon has also bitten the dust.
“From the very beginning, and [through] the script process, that was the intent — he’s dead,” Nutter said.
Time for Melisandre to work her magic? We’re not giving up hope.
