Seneti Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Hello everybody and welcome to a book-spoiler-free summary of what we know of season 5 so far!Since version 6 of this thread now has more than 200 pages, I thought it would be appropriate to start a new one.Please note that I will not be including speculations in this post, except for the FQA section and no brainers (e. g. nobody has confirmed that Sevilla's Plaza de Toros will be Daznak's pit,but we do know that Dany is there and that there is nothing else in her story that thePlaza could represent).WARNING ABOUT SPOILERS: While this first post will remain book-spoiler free as much as possible, it will include spoilers from season 1 to 4. Also, I cannot vouch for what follows after it. Use caution! For my fellow shookers and book walkers: Please be so kind and hide particularly spoilery content from book 4 onwards under appropriate spoiler tags. Thank you.I will also update this post as we go along to include new castings and locations.So grab your drinks and relax - this is going to be a long trip![Last Update: 2015/01/14, 08:00 pm Eastern, updates are marked with an asterisk*]---First Teaser: 2014-11-25, showing a recap of Arya's arc in season 4 and the doors to the House of Black and WhiteFirst Trailer: TBAFirst Episode: 2015-04-12 (announced on 2015-01-08) Producers:David BenioffD.

HERE THERE BE SPOILERS!):- The funeral procession for Tywin Lannister will indeed be Tywin's only appearance this season.- The Faith Militant will cause several disturbances in King's Landing, including a skirmish with Loras Tyrell.- Arya will arrive in Bravos and will assume her fish seller girl persona.- A series of tweets by the actors hints that Lhara, Meryn Trant and Arya might be interacting next season.- Jaime and Bronn will get into a skirmish with the Sand Snakes.- According to Making Game of Thrones there will be at least one scene involving a scorpion and a scene of a dragon burning carcasses in a grassy area.- Mark Gatiss (Tycho Nestoris) confirmed that he won't be appearing at the Wall this season.- Jorah will be sold to the slaver Yezzan by Malko. Tyrion, in an attempt to stay with Jorah, will amuse the crowd until Yezzan buys him as well.Other potentially spoilery information:- The Hollywood Reporter has announced that all actors' contracts have been renegotiated for pay raises and potential season 7 appearances. That does not mean however, that everyone will live to see season 7. The top-ranked actors are said to be Harington (Jon), Dinklage (Tyrion), Headey (Cersei), Clarke (Daenerys) and Coster-Waldau (Lannister), followed by 'mid-carder' Dormer (Margaery), Turner (Sansa) and Williams (Arya). This most likely means that these characters will get the bulk of season 5-7 material. No word on season 8.- Supposedly, there is a big fight scene that was moved from Iceland to Northern Ireland. No confirmation yet on which factions are involved or whether it has been filmed yet.- UNCONFIRMED: A user on reddit who very accurately and in detail predicted the scenes with the Night's Watch mutineers at Craster's Keep last year has posted that next season will include a scene in which White Walkers walk off a cliff only to be resurrected by the Night's King. This could potentially be Hardhome. However, there has been no official confirmation of any of this happening from people tied to the production of GoT, so take it with a grain of salt, please.- Sophie Turner has stated in an interview that she filmed a traumatic scene that made everyone on set feel really uncomfortable, potentially hinting at the inclusion of Sansa's controversial TWOW chapter in season 5. Please take this with a grain of salt, as Sophie is not the most reliable narrator.- according to Kit Harrington, he filmed a partial scene which took a month to shoot* - Episodes 4.09 and 4.10 will air together in select IMAX theaters across the US, followed by an exclusive trailer, starting on January 29th. This could potentially be the first real trailer to be released this year.- new shots from the Sight teasers:-- Arya and the Braavosi captain in a row boat in front of a stony cities - almost definitely Braavos-- Cersei, peering out from behind a ornate grate-- Jon looking up at someone with another black brother sitting in the backgroundFrequently Asked Questions:Q: Is the extended Greyjoy family in?A: We don't know for sure. However, Entertainment Weekly, which usually gives reliable news, has announced that the Greyjoy storyline from book 4 and 5 will not feature as such.Q: Are the Griffs in?A: We don't know yet.Q: Are the Manderly's in?A: We don't know yet.Q: Are Arianne and Quentyn in?A: They have not been cast yet and since casting for Dorne seems to be finished otherwise, most likely not.Q: Is Lady Stoneheart in?A: As of yet, there is no hard evidence that she will be.Q: Will Bran & Co. be in?A: David Benioff has confirmed that Bran & Co. will not be in season 5. This clashes with information from the CV of Leaf's actress, which states that she will be in episode 5.01. It is possible that scenes were shot in season 4 that have been moved to 5.01, but it is now official that no new material was shot for Bran.Source: http://insidetv.ew.c...-bran-season-5/Q: Will The Three-Eyed Raven be in?A: Struan Rodgers has not been confirmed as returning, but Leaf has. For more information, please see "Will Bran & Co. be in?" above.Q: Will Illyrio be in?A: Roger Allam has not been confirmed as returning yet, but there have been boxes reading "Illyrio's manse" in front of Villa Sherezade.Q: Will Rickon and Osha be in?A: No reliable information yet.Q: Will there be spoilers from TWoW?A: Most likely, as some characters have already gone through all their published material. Liam Cunningham (Davos) recently confirmed in an interview that some characters (possibly Davos and his surrounding characters Stannis, Melisandre and Co.) will be surpassing their book material.----Sources:gameofthrones.wikia.comwatchersonthewall.comwww.makinggameofthrones.comabout 1000 pages of speculation on this forum (yes, I read EVERY post in the threads I visit) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colonel Green Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Of the major story threads this season, Sansa's is obviously the one we know the least about, between the lack of any source material to go on and there being little in the way of filming spoilers; but, by comparison, what do people think is the story thread we know the most about? Filming for KL and Dorne, and to a lesser extent Meereen and Braavos, were splashed all over the place, and we have source material for all of those but Dorne that is likely to be followed fairly closely.

boojam Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 We know we saw Ternesio Terys and Arya , Gary Olive and Maisie Williams at the 'docks' of THoBaW , but there was another character there, seemed to be a FM. This may or probably was not Tom Wlaschiha , had a mask , apparently a speaking part? Maybe.... Should he be listed as The 'Masked' Faceless Man?

morgantayler Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Anything new regarding the Sight teasers? I haven't gotten anything yet but they just announced it last week so I'm not surprised. Apparently if you signed up via text it sent a reply that says to expect 4 messages a month so we should probably get something this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdmiralKyrd Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 With regards to Cotter Pyke in the V6 thread ending, it's a pretty fair assumption if Denys is coming over from Shadow Tower that Cotter will also be traveling from Eastwatch. They need more than a couple of candidates. Jon beating out Cotter Pyke makes his election sweeter, plus, someone has to lead the Hardhome fleet (provided its still in). And with the actor playing Denys unfortunately passing before his role was complete, they'll need others to pick up the slack a bit. Cotter is a good place to drive that home, hard. Plus, how can they not do "Dead things in the water?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faint Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Is the Hardhome information too unreliable to include in the summary? I mean, the poster does have a good track record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
