Here's Everything We Learned About "Game Of Thrones" At Comic-Con

Faye Marsay (The Waif), Nathalie Emmanuel (Missandei), Sophie Turner (Sansa Stark), John Bradley (Samwell Tarly), Isaac Hempstead Wright (Bran Stark), Iwan Rheon (Ramsay Bolton), Conleth Hill (Varys), Liam Cunningham (Ser Davos Seaworth), and Kristian Nairn (Hodor) all attended. Show creators David Benioff and D. B. Weiss were also in attendance, and "Battle of the Bastards" director Miguel Sapochnik.

"Three or four years ago, we were in Santa Fe talking to George, and he told us about where he was heading with the books — and that was when he told us the Hodor fate and where the name 'Hodor' came from. But I just remember looking at Dan and we were both so amazed and excited because it was so frickin’ cool," Benioff said.

"Winter is here. We [have to shoot] in places where there are trees, and we [have to] wait for the leaves to fall off, so we’re actually waiting to shoot later in the year. And that means we don’t finish shooting until February. There’s no way to finish [and] get the show out there until summer," David Benioff said.

"I think one thing that’s fun is that George’s books will be very different in some respects, and the same in others, and hopefully both the series and the books will be surprising to people who are reading or watching," Benioff said.

"I think the key was that, when we were discussing the character before we started shooting, was that he has this kind of joy in everything that he does. So he really is enjoying — he's having the best time of his life, and he loves doing all this stuff, and that made him a bit funny. He’s not just some psychopath," Rheon explained.

"When I got the scripts for the first time, you would have heard the clang of my jaw hitting the ground when I read it," he said. "These guys keep taking the people I like working with away from me."

"I liberated the stag [for my daughter], and I said, 'You need to have that in your hand when you watch the show.' What I didn't figure on, because I wasn't there for Shireen’s demise when the episode came on…I felt like the worst dad in the world."

"He’s never been around this many books before, he’s climbing up the bookshelf to get a particularly artistic book from the top — gets all the way up there, severely underestimates his own weight, tipples backwards off the shelf, and pulls all those books on top of him. It wasn't battle that killed him, it was books that killed him," Bradley said.

"Sansa didn't tell Jon because she wanted all the credit," Sophie Turner said. "And it was a more dramatic moment when they showed up, and it makes for really good television."

"She believes [she and Jon] both should be King and Queen of the North, for sure. I'm not sure about the Iron Throne. I’m not sure she’s so keen on that anymore," Turner said.

"Jon likes redheads, he does, but Sansa and Jon have grown up together; they may as well be siblings. They have that sibling rivalry. I don't know, but I swear to god, David and Dan, if you make anything happen, I’m going to kill you."

"I’m not sure she believes Jon is capable of running Winterfell and the North. I think she thinks he doesn't have the intellect, the knowledge, the experience that she has…and I concur."

"After we filmed Episode 5, at the end of the day, I was so tired that I went back to my hotel room and fell asleep facedown in a plate of salmon."

"There’s that sense after she had that scene when she killed Ramsay — you wonder if she’s kind of got a taste for killing," Turner said. "[Director Miguel Sapochnik] and I discussed that scene extensively and we really wanted to accentuate that look back when she almost walks away ad then she looks back into the kennels with this kind of passion for it, and this real intrigue."

"I honestly have no idea if she's going to become a real leader and do the right thing and be a true Stark, or if she’s going to go completely sadistic. Who knows? We’ll soon find out," Turner said.

"Well, it has been overwhelming — I did not expect it to be so crazy," he said. "I'm really, really flattered. It’s blown my mind. I was in L.A. a few days ago in a hotel, and all their doorstops said 'Hodor' on them."

"I think Hodor would be happy [with] the way he died. I think he enjoyed his time looking after [Bran] — as I did, for the last six years. I'm going to miss him. I’ll never get rid of him though, really," Nairn said.

"I think I want Littlefinger on the Throne. I think it’d just be fun, it’d be quirky, sadistic — we like that kind of thing."

"I think Westeros, for once, deserves someone with honor and integrity, and I think Brienne would be a really, really good queen."

Or so says Sophie Turner.
