Game of Thrones has concluded its deep dive into how it’s made with HBO’s final installment of the behind-the-scenes series The Game Revealed, which goes into how they brought the wight from Beyond the Wall to un-life.

Game of Thrones’ vast popularity has lead to countless re-imaginings of the series—from ‘60s drama, to quirky sitcom, and much more. But in all honesty, deep within the heart of Game of Thrones is a really good, batshit insane three-season anime series, and this fan-made opening proves it.
Fingers crossed that we don’t have to wait until 2019 for winter to end. Game of Thrones star Liam Cunningham has revealed that filming is set to start the week after next for the last season of the series.
You know the scene. Now you can own it.

The newest installment of HBO’s Game of Thrones behind-the-scenes series, The Game Revealed, looks at the long-awaited Stark reunion—well, one of them anyway (sorry Bran!)

Not only that, it’s currently on the brink of invasion by hundreds of thousands (perhaps more) undead warriors. Most people seem to think this is Bad News for Westeros. But not…
