Hippocras Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 He has to kill Kevan, at the very least, for "righting the ship," (as it were) and for presumably being a good influence on Tommen. The whole point of his scene with Cersei was so that he could putz around in King's Landing while everyone thinks he's gallivanting around the North helping the crown. You know, just like he supposedly left for the Vale in season 3 only to pop back up in King's Landing for Sansa in season 4. You're right that waiting to march on Winterfell allows the Boltons to keep growing their strength. Don't think I'm disagreeing that it would be best for him to get his butt there. I just think we'll be seeing the ADWD epilogue after a few episodes of Kevan running things. Do we know anything about auditions/frontrunners yet?I don't think he has to kill Kevan at all. That's a pretty big assumption. Best candidates for offing Kevan are Qyburn or his monster. LF has covered all bases, whoever wins and really couldn't care less if Kevan lives and rules well for the moment.As for the North, that wall is coming down and the WW will attack. Any further power moves in the North need to be wraped up, fast. There isn't time left in the story for LF to dawdle in KL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordImp Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Jon will most likely be put in a ice cell. Im really starting to doubt Varys killing Kevan. It looks like it will be some rivalry between Cersei and Kevan . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonel Green Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Jon will most likely be put in a ice cell. Im really starting to doubt Varys killing Kevan. It looks like it will be some rivalry between Cersei and Kevan .Why would they put his body in an ice cell? If they were concerned about his becoming a wight they would burn it.Kevan presumably will die at some point, but with Varys in Meereen there's no way he does it.

Colonel Green Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 The mutineers are not concerned about wights. If they were concerned, they would have realized what Jon was trying to do, not killed him.Which is why there's no reason to put his body in an ice cell.They generally only cast locally for minor parts, so I don't think either of those lords are Manderly (or if they are, not Manderly who will play the large part fans are hoping for).

Stonehearted Snake Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Lord of Noble House Manderly?And Lord of Northern Stronghold!! Maybe Umbers, Reeds, or even Karstark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fez Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Lord of Noble House Manderly? Doesn't sound like it; Lord of Noble Northern House (Casting age anywhere between 25-50) The lord is a savage warrior, and he rules a distinguished house in the very far North, and the role is said to be an impactful one. He’s described as a massive bear of a man with a beard and temper to match, and hatred that run deep,” and he can be violent. The show’s looking for someone with a powerful physique who can tower over other cast members, a Northern English Accent and specifies he has to be at least 180 cm tall. The role will be on 2 episodes. But this other one might be some composite that includes him: Lord of Northern Stronghold: The show’s looking for an actor in his late thirties or forties to play another lord, one that’s ruthless and calculating. The frightening lord rules a vassal household with a castle stronghold. He’ll be in 3 episodes this year, with 20 days of filming this summer and fall. On a different note: Legendary Fighter: A man in his thirties or forties who is a great swordsman and a paragon of knighthood. He carries a famous sword. We are looking for the best swordsman in Europe to play this part. The show is seeking a very impressive swordsman for the role- the best in Europe, for a week of filming fight scenes for a season 6 role. His ethnicity/race isn’t specified, unlike many other roles.

AncalagonTheBlack Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 UPDATE: We now have the role descriptions, with a couple character additions!http://watchersonthewall.com/more-casting-info-for-game-of-thrones-season-6/ Qhogo and Akrat: They’re seeking mixed ethnicity or other non-white actors for the roles. The successful young warriors need to be tall, confident, with swagger and linguistic bravado. It’s noted that the actors will have to speak in a fictional language. I think it’s safe to say that these are Dothraki. Bower: He is a powerless servant, numb to the horror he serves. He’s filming around one of the days that below “outlaw band” members are so he may be connected to them. He is required to have a Northern or Midland English Accent and appears in one episode. Lachlan: He’s the big leader of a group of renegades who have turned on the land that they swore to protect. They’re now extorting the poor and vulnerable. He appears in 2 episodes in season 6 Flynn: He’s part of an outlaw band. The group is using religion to justify terrorizing and extorting what they need from the people of the countryside. He appears in 2 episodes in season 6. He appears to be part of Lachlan’s band. Japeth: Another member of the outlaw band is this lieutenant. He’s a “rough-and-ready type” with a strong physical presence, also appearing two episodes. Legendary Fighter: A man in his thirties or forties who is a great swordsman and a paragon of knighthood. He carries a famous sword. We are looking for the best swordsman in Europe to play this part. The show is seeking a very impressive swordsman for the role- the best in Europe, for a week of filming fight scenes for a season 6 role. His ethnicity/race isn’t specified, unlike many other roles.

The frightening lord rules a vassal household with a castle stronghold. He’ll be in 3 episodes this year, with 20 days of filming this summer and fall. Hunter: He’s a rough army officer on the hunt appearing in an action scene with main cast, in one episode. Submissive Maester: The show’s casting a maester in his twenties- a timid young maester. He’s decent but has trouble standing up to others. He appears in one episode in season 6. Green Recruit: a young man with one line and one day of filming in August. Sympathiser 1, 2 & 3: These are rough military types, with a day of filming. Housemaid: She’s the motherly nanny (with a tight whip) to a large household.The show wants an actress between the ages of 45-65 with a Northern English Accent. She’ll be in 2 episodes. Father: He’s tough and old, an alpha male patriarch. The show is looking for a man with a Northern English Accent. He appears in one episode and has 2 lines.

Colonel Green Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 I was going to say that the first one sounded like recasting the Greatjon, but a casting age of 25-50 would rule that out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fez Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 So, Lachlan et al? Modified version of the post-Beric BWB? Certainly sounds like a Riverlands thing at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veltigar Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 That is got to be Arthur Dayne. I'll probably not watch the next season, but for that scene I'll make an exception. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Flashback to ToJ? I mean no one else better fits that description to me and we know they're casting young Starks for a possible flashback. But if it's the ToJ you would expect them to cast 3 of them rather than just 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
