Yay! GoT is coming back! ^^

A shame we wouldn't be getting any early leaks like last season, though.

(Please be alive, Jon Snow! >_<)

 

[Drmke]

Those leaks were like crack. I said I wouldn't watch this season but I'll probably end up peaking at it. I really want to see how the Greyjoys get portrayed. Granted, if it begins to look and smell like season 5, I'll bail pretty quickly.

Spoiler: Melisandre and Davos scene

Redditor Milazzo reports that the short clip shown at SXSW is a scene of Melisandre and Davos discussing Jon Snow. The priestess says she’s seen him at Winterfell in the flames. Davos says he doesn’t see in the flames, but that Jon is gone.

Spoiler

That would fit with the rumour that was reported that Jon would be featured in a Winterfell scene, along with Sansa and Ramsay.

It looks a bit too much like fanfiction, but if he's really to lead the Northern armies, then maybe it could happen and it would explain why he's there.
But it's Melisandre we're talking about, she's not exactly known for predicting things accurately.

Just read that HBO isn't sending early screeners to critics this year. Probably due to the leaks last year. So chanches of leaks are getting slimmer.

And it's not like HBO is the situation that it needs the press/critics coverage before release. I'm pretty sure the audiences know what GoT is about by now. Some speculate though, that the lack of screeners is due to keeping Jon Snow comeback a secret. I think it's more about the leaks last year. :/

Yeah that's what was reported but you never know.
If Mel, Davos and Jon's scene is in the very first episodes of the season then that would require them not to send screeners so it won't leak. It's such a huge plot point, so they might be more wary of its leak.
Either way I prefer that. Not that S5 was exceptionally good,but the early leak kinda made things less interesting, with all those spoilers available online.

I guess screeners being withheld don't really prevent spoilers (minor perhaps, but yeah)

I'm almost halfway through book 5 now and lol, well now I'm pretty sure the book and movie are two similar but different stories. Too many omissions and changes
I'm wondering which is worse, reading the book after and at the differences or if I had read it first and at the show. Still like them both a great deal though.
Anyway, there are 5 books right? If I'm not mistaken, the last book was done in 2011..any idea when book 6 would come out?

Yeah you shouldn't have read the books, it will only make you realize how bad the changes in the show are...Honestly I regret doing it, but hey for this season we'll be almost be completely clueless about what happens, yay.

Yep there's only 5 books, book 6 Winds of Winter is still in the works. Earlier this year (or last year should I say) we heard some news that GRRM was working to meet his deadline for Thanksgiving, then that deadline was pushed back to NY or something....and he hasn't met either. So we can pretty much expect not to see this book getting released this year.
I would say it could be released around 2017, even late 2017 early 2018. Anything before that would seem too good to be true.
Don't forget to check the book thread since that's where we can discuss the books. And if you're interested you can check GRRM's LJ for some of the chapter previews for the upcoming book.

Yeah saw that some time ago. Can't say I'm too bummed about it.I'm kinda indifferent to it.
Either way looks like things will turn to shit between the Lannisters and the Tyrells.

Spoiler

No Varys killing Kevan and Pycelle I guess, so this could be the way to have things go south in King's landing .

Red Wedding 2.0?

 

[Drmke]

"I drink and I know things." At least show-Tyrion's quips are still amusing

 

[g01]

Finally boobies back.Damn,sorry I meant game of thrones back

That dragons and tyrion scene (I hope this is not the proof of 'tyrion is a targaryen' theory)
It is kinda obvious that in Red Woman episode,melisandre will use her boobs magic to save the day.
And I started believe the theory that night's king is a stark,I don't know why but it feels like that.

 

[xi0]

There's a bunch of theories about the Nights King being a Stark or being in League with the Starks in some way

 

[g01]

Oh I only remember one of them which it says that night's king was a stark and his name was Brandon.

Book-Tyrion stopped being amusing?
On the preview , I'm a bit confused. Is drogo flying around while Dany is captured? Like in the same place?

I think it came after she spent some time in there.

That's one of them, yeah. But there are countless tales about a "Brandon Stark", so it's unlikely that they're all the same person.

Ha no, but the show has in most respects for me, but at least Tyrion is still funny.

There is so much brandon in stark family, so yes it is impossible know if his name was brandon or not.
Well I thought his name is brandon because we see brandon with nights king and obviously bran is there thanks to his warg powers so perhaps he was, in his human days, a warg too(nights king was directly looking at him). Legendary night king,a stark, defeated by another stark which both of their names brandon, that would be fitting for the end imo. (sorry for bad english, have to write it quickly)

The Night's King supposedly was the 13th Lord Commander of the Night's Watch and supposedly could have been a Stark as well, yeah.

Maybe, if you think Bran will be at odds with The Others and not in league with them.
