Season 5 Casting, News and Speculation V 11 [show spoilers, book spoilers past OP]

Recommended Posts

A question I’ve wondered for awhile: With winter coming, does that mean that some areas of the show will be winter-free? Winter, I’m assuming doesn’t impact Essos as much. And like, what’s the average snowfall in King’s Landing?

Cogman: The jury is still out on how much winter appears everywhere. We’re only really seeing evidence of winter in northern areas. What’s fun about it, though, is not only does it become a thematic part of the story, but it will become a practical part, as well. Weather will impact the story in cool ways.

So is this confirmation that Brienne journeys to the North?

Our own Colonel Green asked Hibberd in the article's comments if Cogman meant "northern" as in the northern parts of Westeros generally or "Northern" as in the North and Hibberd said he wasn't sure.

All we really know about Brienne in s5 after her Vale kerfuffle is that she is sheltered by an older woman for a few episodes. Beyond that she could go to any number of places really.

haha iheartseverus im awake!

alcasinoroyale i think Tywins funeral is in episode one only, what makes you think it is episode 2?

I said it was just in Episode 1. Episode 2 might include Kevan leaving King's Landing with Tywin's casket to escort back to Casterly Rock.

ohh well it was quite a few pages back but i am sure you wrote it like it was going to be over 2 episodes. no worries this site is running too slow for me to go back and find it now

lets speculate on Arya. What will her outline be?

E1 absent

E2 wonders around Braavos, gets rejected from the HoBaW, but then gets accepted by the kindly man who changes his face to Jaquen

E3 Arya must let go of everything she owns, hides needle but throws everything else into the canals. Officially becomes an acolyte

E4 Arya struggles to learn the Braavosi language, she also gets clues as to what actually happens in the HoBaW- why are people dying in here/offering themselves?

E5 absent

E6 Arya is allowed to wonder the city disguised as an orphan/beggar. the kindly man asks her to tell him 3 things

E7 Arya is told to work for Brusco selling fish. She becomes Cat of the canals.

E8 abesnt

E9 Arya spots Meryn Trant and Mace Tyrell in Braavos. Arya goes against the rules of the FM and follows him for the day.

E10 Arya has figured out how to kill Meryn, shee executes her plan in a brothel he's frequently been visiting. The kindly man finds out and the next day Arya wakes up blind.

alternatively she receives her first assignment

Yeah it might have been a mistake, but I'm pretty sure that Tywin's Funeral will take place in 5.01 and Tommen and Margaery's Wedding will be in 5.02. Since Kevan doesn't seem to be there for the wedding, I'm assuming he'll go back to Casterly Rock until Cersei is arrested.

Read my edited post above. What do you think will be Arya's outline?

It seems legit and I agree with the episodes that Arya will appear in. Though there is obviously more to her storyline, it's a good prediction. I thought that Arya would become blind earlier in the season, but it works for the finale because of her crossing another name off her list. Perhaps in Arya's first appearance in Season 6 she dreams through the eyes of Nymeria and then regains her sight. There was also something in the casting calls that Joss and his terminally ill child Ghita that he brings to the House of Black of White who I believe might appear in 5.03.

I may be wrong, but I kinda remember the insurance man from Arya's first assignment being cast, so I think we'll see her first assassination this season.

That too. The casting call for the shrewd financial cunning guy (or whatever he was called, I forget) is definitely for the Ship Insurance man she kills with the poison coin.

Decided to try my luck with multi-quoting again....so far so good.

I might even admit I'm one of those weird Stannaerys shippers ;) :leaving:

My biggest wish would be seriously them meeting and not trying to kill each other, but learning form each other. They both could learn so much from the other!

Of course, later they'd marry and rule together, and spend their days with having awkward sex and arguing, screaming all the time "I'll take back what is mine with Fire and Blood!" and "The throne is mine by right, they'll bend the knee or I'll destroy them!" :love:

I do adore your new av. :D

Anyone notice that the Sons of the Harpy have nearly the same masks as Artemisia's body guards in 300: Rise of an Empire?

Close enough.

I'd say both Dany and Stannis possess traits that are good for ruling and some that aren't.

They are very much like the two sides of the same coin, in my books.

And I'll gladly climb on that pyre too because I like Stannis and Dany. Whatever it takes to make people realized that if you like one character doesn't necessarily means you have to hate the other one.

Make room for one more! xD

*creeps into the thread, looks around* :uhoh:

Uhhhhhh... hello? Hello? What, Drogon vaporized this thread hours ago and nobody told me? I missed it??

Hello? Hello, anybody out there? Helloooooo.... echo, echo, echo....

:leaving:

The site crashed so many times today, I figured another trailer came out that I hadn't seen yet. You must have made it back in when everything stabilized.

Yeah. http://watchersonthewall.com/new-game-of-thrones-castings-hint-at-spoilers-for-season-5/ Here he is.

His shooting dates line up with when they were shooting Braavos scenes in Kastela, so that's definitely who he is.

So I guess they are using a majority of the material from Arya's POV's in AFFC and ADWD and the whole Mercy chapter, but saving her becoming blind for the finale or early Season 6?

That's more likely than the blindness being in the midseason.

And if Sam goes to Oldtown in the show, which it seems a lot of people are doubting now, Jaqen could hop ship and sail there with him in s6.

Yeah it seems they are only using Sam's last chapter from ASOS this season. We haven't really gotten any footage of him in the trailers since he was only in background shots. Maybe we'll get some more news about his storyline tomorrow if he attends the London Premiere.

^I still think he'll leave to go somewhere from Eastwatch either before or after Hardhome (depending on whether he goes there or not). Aemon will die in the midseason, it seems, so there'll be time for that section of his AFFC material, though now at CB instead of on the seas.



Other than that, all I know is his hand is in this shot of Jon from the HBO Asia mini-trailer https://gfycat.com/VengefulFrighteningAndalusianhorse
