Both, although if you are just watching the show, you won't know what those spoilers are even talking about.

Not sure if that video/article is worth much. It could just be a shot of Loras reacting to Margaery being taken prisoner for allegedly ****ing all those dudes.
He doesn't have much to do in the next couple of books. Gets sent off to Dragonstone and gets wounded and I think that's where GRRM left it.

Photos of Cersei about to do her walk (all SFW)
Rumors on the interwebz that she changed her mind about filming nude and a stunt double will be performing the nude parts... I dont really care (we saw them in 300 already), as long as they do the scene correctly.

As far as flashbacks go, isn't that something that can be introduced with Bran and the weirwood network? Is it confirmed that Bran will skip S5, or just Hodor? You could still do flashbacks with just Bran and the children.
There was news today about Osha and Rickon being omitted from this season, but no mention of Bran and/or Hodor.
I'm guessing that Bran will be involved in this season, but maybe only in a few episodes. I just don't know what (from the books, anyway) they could really use to stretch out his story line as much as they did last season.

Are filming spoilers ok with you guys? Just in case I'll skip a bunch of lines...
They are filming the Daznak's Pit scenes this week and Tyrion is in them. Not sure if he's with Dany already or simply a spectator, but he definitely makes it to Mereen this season.

Um, he's never with Dany in the books. I realize it makes sense that they will meet each other at some point, but other than seeing him from afar when he and Penny are narrowly saved from fighting lions, they have never met.

Right, I was just saying that it's unclear if he is filming scenes WITH Dany (implying the story moves ahead of the books) or just on the same set. Seems like they are actually interacting.
It stands to reason that we will get ahead of the books in some storylines next season.
getting ahead of the books in season five is completely unnecessary. If Martin can actually pull off releasing WOW between HBO season 5 and 6, there is more than enough unused book material to make a very good season 5.
Then again, I already convinced myself that WOW is the last book and HBO will finish the story. So whatever I guess.

Of note:
- David Benioff and D.B. Weiss confirmed that there will be flashbacks in season 5, despite their previous assertions that there would never be flashbacks on the show. This is line with leaked info from a few months ago, regarding the casting of characters such as M**** the Frog and young Cersei.
- There may be true spoilers from The Winds of Winter in season 5. The answer on the subject was unclear, but the vibe the attendees got from the producers was a strong maybe, leaning toward yes.
Reread of AFfC starts tonight. I didn't hate it the first time since I lowered my expectations, but I know I'll enjoy it much better this time around anyway. Picking up so much more on my reread of the series.

Sansa's HBO story has already caught up with the books, and there's been no mention of Sophie Turner not being in Season 5
The real question is will season 6 finish before WoW is published?
I fear the answer is yes

LOST'S ADEWALE AKINNUOYE-AGBAJE JOINS GAME OF THRONES
quote:
Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, of Lost and Thor: The Dark World fame, has signed on to a role in the upcoming fifth season of Game of Thrones.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, not much has been revealed about the actor's place on the HBO show, but it is said that the actor's character isn't in the books and goes by the name of Malko.
I don't know why you need a flashback of Maggie the frog. Just have her mention it to a servant or the Dornish woman she keeps around and have her introduced.
I remember people thinking of him for Areo Hotah before the actor playing him was released. I wonder who he will end up being?
I was thinking Aero until I read not in book. Dorne or Meeren are the most likely places for him, no?
I'm guessing some condensed/combined version of Moqorro. He was with Tyrion and Jorah for a short time. If they are eliminating much or all of the Aegon story, they'll need to beef that up.
BIG SHOW SPOILER ALERT (yeah I know this is a spoiler thread, but fair warning):
It appears Tyrion and Dany join forces prior to Daznak's Pit in the show. It also appears from her dress that the fighting pits reopening are some sort of wedding celebration.

Isn't that Daario in the background? Isn't she supposed to send him off, or he leaves, before that?
Also, I hate just about everything coming in Mereen at this point, even if it appeared to finally get Dany back on track.

We are really going to be deviating/going forward this season.

There's no way around it. AFFC and ADWD are such a tangent from the mostly-linear stories of the first three books that the show producers have to find clever ways to keep things moving along and main characters involved.
Plus, it's not really their fault that GRRM can't seem to finish books these days. They have to keep moving.
I wonder if they are going to substitute the poison from being in the food to that bottled water?
quote:I'm glad they found a water bottle to put under Dany's chair at the fighting pits. Would hate to see a parched mother of dragons.

Another big change, look who shows up to fight in the games
Check out the crowd. Is this an Astros game?

quote:Wow. Maybe the producers decided to condense the entire Meereen plot suck of awful into a single episode! Seriously though, I have no problem with condensing and streamlining that entire plot, it was like being beaten with a wet haddock. I am intrigued about how Tyrion ended up on the dais, looking like Bear Grylls.

I really think we are going to see a complete plot split from the books, this seems to happen often where a show outpaces the books. I think we see something similar to Full metal alchemist as far as the split goes.

They won't split, but they will condense/combine (to an even greater degree than they already have). They know the rest of the story for every character and they'll stick to it. They'll just have to improvise some of the details.
Essentially, the show will spoil the books. You'll just get a much more detailed account of every single damn meal eaten along the way.
FMA and FMA:B is a great comparison here.
I would guess that Tyrion (sans Penny) ends up about to get eaten or killed in the arena, and Dany demands he is spared out of pity, and brought up to sit on the dais and eat with her - with her totally unaware who he is.
Maybe he's even pitted against Jorah Mormont and she doesn't want that battle, so she gives Mormont the other guy to fight.
Regardless, I doubt she's aware who Tyrion is at this particular moment. Although considering his character's love of dragons (in the book at least), I will really enjoy seeing Tyrion's face when Drogon appears (assuming that stays in).

That's kind of what I mean, sure the major events still happen(i.e. main character deaths, major battles, and plot twists), but short of these critical events I think it will diverge greatly from the books. We've already seen this in the last season. I've been getting a very different feel from the show anyway...
Also I'm glad you spoke up Marsuvees. I wasn't sure if anyone would understand my comparison. I don't know how many on the Eboard watch anime.

Definitely possible. Especially given the fact that Barristan -- the only person in her entourage that would instantly recognize him -- isn't up there with them.
On the flip side, he isn't really dressed like a slave or a fighter. Looks more like formal wear.
