EW had the chance to go inside Game of Thrones' Titanic Studios for the filming of the final episode, for which they were sworn to secrecy, but do give a few vague-as-possible details, which sound, well, incredible:

"What’s being filmed here is episode 6, the series finale. Like Harington going into the table read, I don’t know anything about the final season’s storyline. I look around at a meticulously constructed set that I’ve never seen on the show before. Several actors are performing, and I’m stunned: There are characters in the finale that I did not expect. I gradually begin to piece together what has happened in Westeros over the previous five episodes and try not to look like I’m freaking out."

Holy s**t.
