I kind of hope that they have her take off midway through the season (Episode 5 or 6-ish maybe?). It would be a climax for a mid-season episode and I'd rather they don't try to stretch or pad out her story with a bunch of loving around in the Vale/Riverlands or whatever. It's not like anyone will have forgotten who she is by the time Season 5 rolls around. There is a casting rumor for a ship captain that's thought to be the man with whom Arya exchanges Valar Morghulis / Valar Dohearis.

I don't think he'll die off page as we are pretty sure to get a chapter with a direct account of his death, either from his POV or more likely from Brienne's, I just meant that chronologically he bites it before Kevan does.

Besides the Valonqar prophecy is strange and although it might be a cheesy cop-out I am not convinced that the younger sibling has to be one of Cersei's younger siblings. Jaime's fever dream is pretty detailed and specific.

I'd say there's enough material for them - they've got a whole bunch of travelling to do, crossing the river, putting up a palisade, meeting some old friends at an inn and getting Needle back, the Hound's death. (If not necessarily Sandor's.)

I'm still holding out hope that Brienne can either talk some "he's fufilling all his goddamn oaths, you stupid zombie bitch" sense into Stoneheart's head, or that she uses the sword she just chose to get Jaime free. Because no loving way. No way.

I'm about 50/50 on whether or not I think they'll actually shoot on location in Venice. I mean...obviously that's where a lot of Braavos's inspiration comes from, but it's almost TOO on the nose to shoot there, you know? Plus, I hear it's a nightmare shooting in Venice, anyway, so the producers might not bother with trying.

Ehhh, I'd forgotten what happened when we last saw Jamie. I'm hoping that he doesn't die, especially at the hands of Stoneheart and the Brotherhood, who I was initially excited about but quickly grew tired of. The midlands of Westeros must be crazy between the Brotherhood and the ranging wolves led by Nymeria that now attack travelers and shepherds.

If Loras is in the trailer, I'm failing to spot him, so unless I'm missing it there's no clear evidence at this point. Presumably they won't go through with Cersei marrying him since that'd be a huge departure with all sorts of complicated consequences for the rest of the story; having him appointed to the Kingsguard would be the obvious way out of that, so perhaps Cersei will use her influence over Tommen to get that done after Joffrey's death, or something. I can't really see her putting up with the marriage plan after that, however hard Tywin might dadstare at her. Or, I don't know, maybe they'll continue GOT's trend of becoming The Awful Wedding Show and actually grind it out and reshape the accusations Cersei faces later, and so forth. It's not like they don't already have a lot of work to do, might as well. Hamiltonian Bicycle fucked around with this message at 00:01 on Jan 14, 2014 |

I think he's referring to the fact that in the book, Loras requests an appointment to the Kingsguard, and it's in fact somewhat important to the plot (increased Tyrell presence at court, Loras leading the siege of Dragonstone, etc). In the show, Garlen and Willas have been presumably wiped out, leaving Loras the heir to Highgarden and turning the talk of Kingsguard knighthood into threats rather than honors. I'm unsure where the show is going with Loras, but it's likely that they could send him off to

it's weird how some parts of the book and show are so different. Also in the books Loras is MOST TECHNICALLY SKILLED KNIGHT IN A LONG TIME and in the tv show he's just some dude. He's not in the kingsguard yet? is he supposed to be at this point in the show? all will be explained this season, I hope. Thankfully I just re-read all the books so I'll be better able to spot differences in the show/books.

Book Loras joins the Kingsguard pretty much immediately after the Blackwater, no hesitation - he has two older brothers, after all. In the show his brothers don't exist. If he were to join the Kingsguard, the Tyrells would see some complications re: who gets Highgarden (it might in fact go to Margaery and then to her children, who would officially be Baratheons), so he doesn't; in fact, Tywin uses the suggestion as a threat in order to get the Tyrells to fall in line and have him betrothed to Cersei. We'll see where the show goes from here.

I believe it was mentioned somewhere that the agent of Littlefinger's who seduced Loras last season is back this season, so I wonder if he'll have anything to do with it. I have a hard time thinking of what, exactly, but can't think of many reasons to bring him back offhand. Also lol quote:Linda & Elio @hippoiathanatoi 6h

CHIN STRAPS and MUSTACHIOS are not Dornish in origin. This show has completely disregarded any and all regard for blah blah blah... This is fun for me, considering this is the first nerdy movement I've been part of as it's unfolding. I enjoy bemusedly watching the fundamentalists have a heart attack at every little change. Makes me understand how religious schisms happen.

I like Oberyn's robe/surcoat with the Martell sunburst all over it. The length helps for creating a languid, flowing character, while the low neckline implies Latin lover. To channel my inner Linda though, I wonder why they made it off-yellow instead of orange?

I don't understand bookreaders that get all bent out of shape when something doesn't exactly match their internal vision. It implies they feel a sense of ownership over the characters when they're just some schmuck.
