The fervor surrounding Game of Thrones is slightly less rabid than it was this time last year. Make no mistake: the show is still insanely popular. But with a delayed Season 7 and no deathly Jon Snow cliff-hanger to puzzle out, the cast and crew could look forward to a marginally more relaxed San Diego Comic-Con panel this year. And while Game of Thrones has become famous for being one of the big Hall H panels that doesn’t reveal much, the room was still packed with fans eager to share the room with their favorite Westerosi faces.

Sophie Turner—who had a huge Season 6—headlined a panel that included Iwan Rheon (Ramsay Bolton), Liam Cunningham (Ser Davos), John Bradley (Samwell Tarly), Nathalie Emmanuel (Missandei), Isaac Hempstead Wright (Bran Stark), Conleth Hill (Varys), Faye Marsay (The Waif) and Kristian Nairn (Hodor). Show -unners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss—who skipped the Con last year in the midst of the Jon Snow mystery—were on hand for a panel moderated by their friend and It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia star Rob McElhenney.

“Sophie Turner made us all take shots of vodka before we came out here,” Benioff cracked upon taking the Hall H stage with the cast on Friday afternoon. Although Turner, who is just 20, clarified that she absolutely did not encourage her co-stars to imbibe, a directive from the Sansa actress would not have seemed entirely out of character. Last season, viewers watched as Sansa, like the other women of the series, reclaimed a considerable amount of power.

While in San Diego, Turner reflected on her character’s newfound strength and ambition, sharing that she does not think Sansa is “so keen on the Iron Throne anymore.” That doesn’t mean she would cede power entirely to Jon Snow, however.

“[Sansa] believes they should both be King and Queen of the North,” Turner said. “I don’t believe she thinks Jon is capable of running Winterfell and the North.”

In case you were curious why Turner thinks Snow is unfit for solo throne responsibilities, the actress continued, “[Sansa] doesn’t think he has the intellect, the knowledge, and the experience that she has, and I concur.”

Turner also offered her interpretation of the look that her character exchanged with Littlefinger (Aidan Gillen) in the season finale, after Snow was declared King of the North.
