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

By

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.

3 underrated (HBO) Max movies you should watch this weekend (June 28-30)
A girl looks at a boy in House at the End of the Street.

June is surprisingly over, and with it, a great month for movies comes to a satisfactory close. You've probably watched Inside Out 2 or Bad Boys: Ride or Die or maybe even The Bikeriders. From blockbusters to indie fare, the theatrical movie business has been robust and healthy.

The same goes for streaming. Netflix had a big hit with Richard Linklater's Hit Man, while Amazon Prime Video recently premiered the latest bonkers season of The Boys. HBO and Max have been quieter, but their robust library speaks volumes to the streamer's high quality. The following three films are older, but are just as worth your time as new hits like House of the Dragon season 2.

As we head toward the end of June, it's worth reflecting on how we want to spend the rest of summer. For some, that's going to mean enjoying nice weather or getting some time in at the beach. For others, it might mean escaping from the heat, at least for a while, to check out a great movie.

If you fall into that second category, then we've pulled together a list of three great, underrated, titles available on Amazon Prime Video that are all worth checking out. Prime Video is home to some of the best movies available online, but it can be hard to find the ones you want. These three will at least give you a great place to start.

The best Netflix original series right now
Eric and Benedict Cumberbatch in Eric.

The era of Peak TV was also Peak Netflix, because the streamer seemingly had an endless supply of new original series. So far in 2024, that hasn't been the case. Whether we'll ever get the same level of content again seems unlikely for now. But even in a reduced capacity, Netflix still has a few new additions to its lineup of originals.

For the month of June, we're adding the '80s-set thriller, Eric, which stars Benedict Cumbebatch. Our other pick for the month is Supacell, which is Netflix's new British series that remixes some old superhero archetypes. That's not a very big selection for fans who always want something new, but this roundup of the best Netflix original series really does have all of the top options in one place for you. All you have to do is scroll down and make time to binge watch some shows.
