In spite of the fact that Jamie Lannister was stabbed repeatedly before having the entirety of the Red Keep fall down onto his head, some fans believe that the handsomest man left in Westeros is still alive underneath all those rocks. And honestly, the case is pretty convincing. 

Tumblr user WeedsAreFlowersToo caused a run on red string and pushpins when they laid out their evidence for why the Kingslayer is still alive going into the final episode of Game of Thrones. It all comes down to some notable omissions on social media. 

First off, there’s actor Nikolaj Coster-Waldau’s Instagram. While other actors have used their deaths to say goodbye to cast, crew and character, Nikolaj specifically bid adieu to only Lena Heady, the actress who played Cersei. 

Beyond that, there’s a notable missing exit interview from Entertainment Weekly, who have been interviewing cast members as they duck out of Game of Thrones. The actors behind Cersei, Varys, and The Hound all gave interviews about their work on the show and leaving it behind. Those three posted soon after “The Bells,” but Jamie’s was missing. Journalist James Hibberd explained he was “holding that one for a bit.”

The story seems to be leading to someone killing Daenerys. Would it be so crazy if it was the most experienced royal killer in the Seven Kingdoms? (Yes, the answer is yes.)
