From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Last month, we learnt that a major scene being referred to as ‘the battle of the six armies’ was being filmed at Game of Thrones Northern Ireland base.
It could (and a lot of assumptions are being made here), see Jon Snow rally those loyal to the Starks and allied houses to take on the villainous Boltons, with sigils for various houses being spotted on set.
Now a few more images from shooting have emerged thanks to Watchers on the Wall, teasing the scale of the battle.
Fake dead horses belonging to houses Umber, Bolton and Karstack were spotted, along with piles and piles of fake bodies doubling as dead soldiers from both sides of the fight.
The Mormonts and possibly Hornwoods are also thought to be at the battle, along with Jon’s sister Sansa, presenting the possibility of a reunion for the separated siblings.
A giant was also seen and apparently ‘the battle will have real casualties and we’ll be saying goodbye to some characters’.
Game of Thrones' season 6 release date might now be delayed until May, when the HBO show taking its Sunday night slot, Vinyl, finishes.
