Game of Thrones season 8 spoilers: A two-for-one special
While the flow of information has slowed slightly when it comes to Game of Thrones season 8 spoilers, there are a few tidbits to gather together.
Warning: Do you want to know nothing of Game of Thrones season 8 spoilers, so we can call you Jon Snow? Then perhaps you may want to send yourself on a trip North … or back to the Culturess home page.
Although Game of Thrones season 8 has had some major drops of late — and some major theory-fueling pieces of information — the two following bits of information are just small pieces that help us create a better picture of what’s going on for the final season. Both come via r/freefolk.
The smaller of the two bits has to do simply with where actors are moving. More specifically, we’re talking walk-ons.
Titanic woz 'ere. The dry dock at the Harland & Wolff shipyards in Belfast where the famous ill-fated liner was built. Also seen next door today, hundreds of extras streaming out from filming @GameOfThrones at the Titanic Studios. As you do. pic.twitter.com/p3rfRrYIZC

Helpfully self-censored user EveryFckingChicken posits the theory that these extras could be headed off to Winterfell’s set at Moneyglass, but as commenters in the thread note, we don’t know exactly what these extras were needed for — or if they were actually filming inside the studios instead.
How many interior rooms that we know of in Game of Thrones would be big enough to accommodate “hundreds of extras”? The throne room in the Red Keep, perhaps? The most spacious areas in Game of Thrones are, well, outside. Still, it’s impossible to discount this possibility right now.
The second tidbit concerns progress on something we here at Culturess have kept an eye on for a while:
Okay, the trailer makes it tough to see, and though some suggest (including the original poster, a user going by the handle gravemaster7) it’s a “broken wall,” others in that same thread point out it’s probably a space for an actual gate, since the elaborate additions (which look like next steps based on some earlier photos) appear like they’d flank an entrance. In other words, the latter is the more likely.
Of course, given what we know, both options are likely.

It’s now the weekend, so unless there’s a major information dump (something Reddit continues to think is unlikely) from some source somewhere, let these two pieces marinate in your mind and come up with your best theories.
