Game of Thrones star provides most revealing hints yet about Season 6

Paul Moore

He knows something.

We’re starting to think that the cast members from Game of Thrones are taking a Ramsay Bolton-esuqe sadistic delight from torturing, teasing and tormenting fans of the show with every interview that they give. While we’ve speculated what Season 6 might have in store, the latest soundbites from Ser Davos himself are the most revealing so far.

Fans of the show will know that the Onion Knight has a huge amount of respect and admiration for Jon Snow but will he somehow be reunited with the 998th Lord Commander of the Night’s Watch?

The Irish actor gave a tantalising interview with The Wall Street Journal and this is what he had to say about…

His relationship with Jon Snow.

“First of all, they are very, very strange bedfellows, as they say, but they are in a very weird situation. For two people who have an abhorrent dislike of each other, they’re both in the same boat. We both lost Stannis. We both lost our reason for being in the show. Also, both of us have found ourselves leaning towards Jon Snow. She has seen something in the flames about this dude. I have found, while talking with Stannis to Jon, that this guy is a fellow traveler. He’s the real deal. He’s a good guy. He’s definitely got leadership qualities, and he has a heroic and charismatic quality to him. Davos will obviously be drawn to that kind of character. Davos isn’t a leader”.

What to expect in the very first episode.

“Listen, there are going to be many (big moments), and they’re from the get-go, I guarantee it. You’re going to have at least one rather very large one in [episode] 1, but that’s all I’m going to tell you”.

His relationship with Melisandre.

“They’re brought together by circumstance even though they’re enemies”.

The tone of Season 6.

“When I was reading these scripts, there’s a certain kind of bizarre new philosophy to what they’re doing. It’s different this year. There’s some very different stuff. There’s quite a few new people. There’s quite a few people going this year — as there is every year, to be fair. I’m not speaking out of shop when I say that. But I was astonished at the numbers. [Laughs] …It’s one of the things that makes the show so interesting: the fact that nobody’s safe. Anybody can go at any time”.

The battle sequence that’s teased in the trailer.

“There is an enormous… There is a section as the season progresses that we haven’t tackled before, size-wise. It’s incredibly cinematic. It took an incredibly long time to shoot… I probably shouldn’t be telling you this: It’s going to blow out of the water what has happened in the previous seasons combined”.

Who else can’t wait for Season 6?
