Nicolaj Coster-Waldau goes on Periscope and gets cute about Jon Snow’s fate

Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Jaime Lannister) just recorded video of himself answering questions from fans via the official Game of Thrones Twitter account. Here are a couple of highlights.

Coming as they are from a man who’s read the scripts for this season (and by the sound of it, he reads the full scripts, not just the scenes involving his character), Coster-Waldau’s comments about Sansa and Theon’s story being interesting have some weight to them.

I gotta say, I’m a little surprised that Coster-Waldau didn’t name Jaime’s bathtub confession to Brienne as his favorite scene (he calls it “the most rewarding scene” in another response), but it’s hard to argue with either of the ones he mentioned.

Coster-Waldau is predictably coy about how, or whether, Jaime has changed in Season 6, but he hints here that his paternal feelings for Tommen might be getting the better of him. Maybe that father-daughter moment with Myrcella at the end of Season 5 lit something inside him.

Solid advice.

He probably made the most revelatory response, the one involving Jon Snow, towards the end of this next video. To watch this one, click the image in the tweet, which’ll take you to Periscope. Then hit play. And don’t click anything if you want to avoid potential SPOILERS.

What’s Coster-Waldau’s take on Jon Snow? “He’s dead…so far.” To those fans who think Jon is poised for a comeback, that might speak volumes.

And here’s the whole shebang:
