In "#Game of Thrones" #Season 7 episode 6, the eye in the wolf head hilt of Jon's sword, Longclaw, appears to open when Jon emerges from the frozen lake. The Internet obviously went crazy over this detail, but apparently, it was unintentional.
A statement from "Beyond the Wall" director Alan Taylor recently confirmed that the visual effect was really caused by a droplet of water or a reflection. Taylor said that he hadn't a clue what fans were talking about.
"I'm going to have to go back and watch that moment close up and in slow motion to see what's going on there. I can say that there was no intention for that to be the case," Taylor said to Insider. Which means that Longclaw's pommel didn't really open its eyes when the King in the North came out of the frozen lake.
