The most bizarre thing about Bloodraven is he appears to have two eyes but they still have him say his catchphrase. I thought he was missing his right eye, but that entire underground set was grim dark so it could have just been shadows that in my mind added a missing eye. That dude was way not rotted and tattered enough though anyway. I kept rewatching the scene and it seems like there's clearly light reflecting on the guy's right eye there, and you can see it move as the actor speaks. It's clearly not obviously torn out in the manner one would expect from him losing it in battle. But if they effectively establish in a more clearly lit scene that he has one eye next year then no huge complaints from me about it, I guess...

When was the last time we saw the Hound's helm in the show? Blackwater? I can't remember. If they've written him off the show I will be sad, mostly because I won't know whether or not we'll see him again in the books. He's my favorite.

He was the one substantial character who wore a helmet regularly, so it's not a surprise it disappeared after season 1, as I'm pretty sure Season 1 Episode 7 battle between Eddard's men and the Hound and the City Watch and the Kingsguard was the last time he wore the helmet. He didn't wear it in Blackwater.
Being as how the show did away with Rorge and Biter already it would appear the Houndshead helmet is not going to factor into anything.
I think clearly NOT killing him on camera bodes well for his actual use in later storylines.

With Michelle Fairley stamping on the idea of Lady Stoneheart, some are thinking there may be an opening there for him to be saved by the brotherhood, setting up an eventual brother vs brother showdown. I am not sure how well that will work but I can see HBO wanting to keep that character around.

Well, the main scenario for the supposed Cleganebowl in the novels is that once he joins the monastery, he is then the Faith's champion on Cersei's trial, which leads him to taking on Gregolem.
The High Sparrow is supposedly being cast so that whole subplot seems to be definitely happening.

Cersei's penance walk is one of the most important points of the character, I can't imagine it not happening.

Wish he'd just get the blasted thing done, but like my gran used to say: wish in one hand and spit in the other........

ALEXANDER SIDDIG IS DORAN MARTELL! ALEXANDER SIDDIG IS DORAN MARTELL! WOOOO! I read an article today that listed his three notable roles as 24, DA Vinci's demons, and syrinana..... Sigh.

I am super excited about Alexander Siddig and Jonathan Pryce! But I am disappointed that they cut Arianne. I hate that they have made the heir of Dorne a male instead of a female. That really stinks.
I am also curious as to how they are going to run the plot without Arianne, Victarion or "Aegon"? How did we end up with 3 Sand Snakes but not Arianne, Victarion or "Aegon"? I mean, I can see why they wouldn't want to cast all of the Greyjoys. But, it seems like we need either Euron or Victarion for the plot to work, right?

There's also the possibility they just haven't cast those parts yet.

Baramos And Aegon feels like a character that, even if they do use him, they could probably put him off till season six.

Is it weird that the new casting I'm most excited about is Keisha Castle-Hughes as a Sand Snake? I mean, it is, right?

The Sword are great, I've been listening to them since Gods of the Earth which has that track, but of course their other albums are also great.
If you guys listen to Blind Guardian, Edge of Time had two Song of Ice and Fire songs.

Well the reports are that a church in Malta is upset that there was going to be nudity involing Lena so they refused permission to shoot. Looks like the walk is on!

I think Lena already said somewhere that the walk was happening this season. I figured as soon as they cast the High Sparrow that this had to happen.
I'm interested to see information about Jaime and Bronn(?) going to Dorne in secret? That could be interesting.
I'm quite curious about this upcoming season, really. It feels like it has potential to be very surprising for book readers. I think the producers are really starting to change a lot of stuff. It might be exciting to view the show as a virtual newbie.

Man, why couldn't they have done this with season 3 Theon?

Post by Desert Dweller on Sept 6, 2014 21:41:47 GMT -5
With Theon, I got the impression they were scared of losing he actor to something else? But, yeah, totally. We didn't need to see Theon be tortured all season.
Aw, and here I was so excited that Bran's story was going to be going off into unknown directions. They're going to make me wait for GRRM to publish the next book? Evil bastards.

Well we are now 3 years out from A Dance with Dragons and a 1.5 years since the sample chapter from Winds of Winter, so he should be wrapping it up pretty soon right?
Oh wait, no, he is not even close is he? Fuck me, prep Brandon Sanderson.
Remember when we thought that the 5 years between A Storm of Swords and A Feast for Crows was a fluke due to splitting the book up and that A Dance with Dragons would follow shortly after since he had already been working on it?
He had to start this one from scratch.

Post by Desert Dweller on Sept 9, 2014 2:23:01 GMT -5
Aw, not entirely from scratch! He had all those chapters that were supposed to be in A Dance With Dragons. You know the ones, the ones containing the actual climax of the book. Instead, A Dance With Dragons just sort of ends. And so GRRM should have had about 8 chapters already written when he officially started on Winds of Winter. So, maybe this one will only take 4.5 years to write?

There's a Game of Thrones: Day in the life (behind the scenes) special on HBO tonight. It probably won't have as much footage as the Ice & Fire:A Foreshadowing special from last year since it's clearly centered on the production of the show, but there hopefully will be some new footage unveiled (The synopsis for the special indicates we'll get a peak at a scene with Cersei and the High Sparrow)

There's a LOT to unpack in this one. Makes me excited that they're just going to blow through AFFC and ADWD this season and set up a lot of TWOW stuff for S6.

It seems a little upmarket for Cat of the Canals, but maybe it'll feel different in action.

This article basically recaps all the interesting EW watchersonthewall.com/hbo-wants-more-than-seven-seasons-of-game-of-thrones-new-inside-information-on-season-5/ As discussed in the comments, the tidbit about the dead character makes it seems like Barristan bites it, without getting his most bad-ass material ![:(](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/sad.png)
