Season 5 casting - v. 4 [Spoilers]

[The brown snake]

Why do D+D hate the greyjoys so much, we've been waiting for the Greyjoy Uncles for like 2 seasons now...

[LordStoneheart]

Because they've read the books. ;)

We will get at least one Greyjoy uncle. Patience.

King's Landing was actually very crowded with POVs in the first book and it worked very well.

But I rather think the battle at Meereen will happen without Dany, who will instead be off with the Dothraki sacking Qarth and Yunkai or something. So that makes it a bit less crowded. And then the groups will split up. Vic might die. Daario definitely will. And someone is going to go chasing Dany to at least find out what she wants.

Why would Dany sack Qarth? She dosent have any reason going back their. I think Dany is heading for Mereen if she gets her Khalasar back.

Since so many of you seem to comment on nakedness even though it is not necessarily relevant to this threat, here a few observations of mine;

Pedro Pascal totally let viewers down by teasing that he was not adverse to stripping, yet all we got was his torso, hello?????? !!!! I was at least expecting him in his boxers, or a sneak peak at his (I am sure perfectly formed) backside.

I do not think we are going to get any nudity during the Walk of Shame, may be a bit of side boob and some thigh, but I reckon that will be it. In fact I am wiling to bet on that.

I also doubt we are going to see many more boobs from named actresses even in ''Porne''. Mellissandra who is indeed blessed with a beautiful pair, may want to show them off again but otherwise I reckon some of the viewers may be sorely disappointed.

Totally loved John Bradley's comment at ComicCon. When asked about getting his kit off he replied "I refuse to bow down to public pressure..... No the good thing about me and male nudity is that if I take it off, it'll still keep the boob count up."

Personally, I'd say bring it on. I want to see more from both genders and in all shapes and sizes.

Qarth is one of the cities currently attacking Meereen. They are a major factor propping up the slave trade and are highly dependent on slaves. If Dany leaves Essos without hurting Qarth the slave trade will pop up again the instant she leaves Essos. And, she may be closer to Qarth than any other city right now. All we know is that she is lost somewhere on the Dothraki sea.

I am sure she will eventually return to Meereen, but she seems to be quite far away, the Khalasar is not hers yet, and the battle for Meereen will happen in any case without her.

I have always wondered about Quaithe's prophecy about having to go east in order to go west. In that context, this would certainly make sense.

[jentario]

D+D decided to cast Indira Varma and keep her for season 5 and make Tyene her daughter. Why would they do it if not to keep her personality from the books and provide counter to Sand snakes revenge at all cost attitude. She can somewhat mirror Arianne development. She will participate in Queenmaker plot, but will regret its result (Snakes will not). Later she can be satisfied with Mountain´s head and strongly oppose the plan to send her daughter to KL on dangerous mission and deliver her speech in that moment.

I hope you're right. We'll see.

[Arkash]

I don't entirely get why people are upset about Ellaria being upset about Oberyn's death. IMO it is quite obvious that she will be in an extreme state of grief when she returns, that she has a fiery personality, and that it is a prevailing Dornish trait to want revenge.

In the books she feels like the issue is settled with delivery of "Gregor"'s head, and THAT is when and why she makes her speech. Not before.

So Ellaria can very easily talk revenge at the beginning of the season and still make her speech later when she feels Oberyn has been avenged.

This !!!!

Also, I'd really love if Quaithe was back for next season, it would be a nice TV moment if they include her apparition in Dany's chambers delivering the prophecy (most probably an altered version of it) and disapears right after, like in the books.

But it depends on her role down the line and only D&D know it... and since she has been more linked to Jorah in the show, it makes me wonder if we ever see her again it will be in his storyline.

[jentario]

I don't think we'll see Quathie again.

[Arkash]

Then it'd be a mistake, you dont introduce such a cryptic character if it's to never resolve her mysteries and origins. It we dont see her again (in the books and in the show),she'd be too much of a DEM. In my opinion.

We'll probably see her in the books again but she completely disappeared in the show and, as you said, was only speaking with Jorah so I doubt she will appear in Dany's dreams or anything like that.

[Cold Crashing Waves]

Too bad, the actress did a good job. Should've kept her around to feed the more mystical/prophetic side of Dany's story.

Yeah, I agree.

Yeah, he was in a brothel twice...bit disappointed by that.

Lena has said she is on board for that. We better see some nudity.

I also doubt we are going to see many more boobs from named actresses even in ''Porne''. Mellissandra who is indeed blessed with a beautiful pair, may want to show them off again but otherwise I reckon some of the viewers may be sorely disappointed.

I am skeptical of that. Only patience will tell.

John Bradley is hilarious. I think he was a comedian in an earlier life.

Personally, I'd say bring it on. I want to see more from both genders and in all shapes and sizes.

Agreed.

I will say John Bradley had me in stitches during that panel.

The Walk of Shame is about to be filmed soon according to WOTW. 500 extras are needed and it'll be filmed in Dubrovnik between the Cathedral and the Palace.

Also, filming will start again soon for the Meereen storyline. EDIT: in Split

This last week has been a real treat in terms of news. It's only going to get worse from now on... :(

Nah, people are going to be creeping on the filming, so we're likely to get some bigfoot-style photos coming out over the next few months.
