The dangers of spy photos

In the last few days a series of spy photos of filming of the seventh season of Game of Thrones have been unleashed on the web. This has of course unleashed huge amounts of speculation especially given the presence of 2 actors in costume, given that these characters have neither met in the books or the TV show this led to tongues wagging. For the sixth season the same issue arose when pictures surfaced of what would become known as the Battle of the Bastards. Now this not a new problem for producers but given the rise of websites such as Digital Spy it is somewhat tougher to keep plot developments as a surprise. As for Game of Thrones we will just wait for next year as to see how what was photographed plays out.
