“Game of Thrones” took over Hall H at San Diego Comic-Con 2015 last night and anticipation for the panel was bigger this year, what with the shocking events in the final episode of season 5. Sadly, fans and the media didn’t get answers to their most burning questions.

Kit Harington wasn’t on the panel and the actors that were didn’t take questions about Jon Snow’s fate in the upcoming season. Maisie Williams was present, but she didn’t offer more details about Arya, though pressed for details.

Then again, HBO never really offered too many spoilers about the biggest series on television right now at Comic-Con or at any other event, smaller or bigger. The panel was a friendly and humorous discussion on favorite moments from past seasons and actors’ guesses on what may befall their characters in future ones.

It also included the video below, of the audition reel of some series favorites, like Gwnedoline Christie, Natalie Dormer, Pedro Pascal, Liam Cunningham, Rose Leslie and Tom Wlaschiha. They owned their roles to the T, so it seems almost impossible to imagine that, back in the day, Christie or Pascal or Leslie were simply one potential candidate among hundreds.
