But I've yet to figure out a better way to spend my time.
Hm, I don't really see much resemblance to Maisie Williams - at least not as blatant as Octavia Alexandra from last year.

I'm keeping an open mind on the Jeyne Poole story being included. I still wish they had established Jeyne (or a Jeyne stand-in) in the show so that if Theon saves her it would mean something more than just random brown haired girl.

I still think having the Boltons take Rickon captive would've worked alright for the show, but we'll see about this.

Nah, Rickon is the lil whiny baby Stark boy who Osha the wildling girl took off with when Bran went all Treebeard.

In all probability she's just an extra. But still her age, height, build and willingness to do nudity did make me go 'Hmm!'

Osha, along with two other wildlings, attacked Bran in the first book/season. Theon and Rob killed the other two wildlings and took Osha as a servant. Eventually Osha becomes sympathetic to the Starks and helps Bran and Rickon escape Theon's Winterfell in the night.

Treebeard is a fictional character from George R. R. Tolkien's Middle-earth fantasy writings. The eldest of the species of Horrible Tree people. His mottos are "I'll get there..eventually." or simply "smoke me".

Unless they come up with different reasons to go from A to B for that stuff. Jeyne Poole doesn't exist for viewers, so for right now I'm expecting them to.

Cersei: "We found a little girl in the city who looks like Arya Stark. We're sending her to Winterfell to wed Lord Bolton's bastard, we'll say we found her hiding and she came out after Sansa's disappearance to search for her."
Kevan or whoever: "K cool."

Who even cares if her name is Jeyne Poole.

Pious Lancel and Kevan defying Cersei should be note perfect (and hilarious) on the show. I hope they have the original actors for the secondary Lanisters. Although with Jamie (possibly?) in Dorne who knows if we'll ever see Lancel again.

That could work... I mean Cersei is generally ballsy enough to try something that bold.

There was semi-confirmation that both Lancel and Kevan's actors from seasons 1 and 2 are indeed back for season 5.

Confirmation that Arya's plot in this next season is going to follow the books, at least somewhat. You can see her here selling seafood out of a wheelbarrow.

I was rewatching season 1 and I completely forgot the scene with Theon & Tyrion. The scene really shows the more lovely and bullying side of Tyrion when he puts Theon down for no reason then shows how he's a bit of a hypocrite when he says the Greyjoys are savages for burning men alive in their own ships, while later on he burns the Baratheon loyalists alive with god drat wildfire.

He also points out how the Starks are his captors and how his own father would think he is poo poo. Great scene and gives me hope they'll do rear end in a top hat Tyrion and not just white wash him more.

Oh, plus Euron & Vic get mentioned so there is also that.

Assuming this isn't just a shot of his corpse, could they finally be doing flashbacks?
