It would genuinely surprise me if they actually cut the Greyjoys entirely. They're pretty important I think, especially with Victarion headed Dany's way.
Also, same thing, it would shock me if they cut Arianne. Her character is an excuse for gratuitous nudity. Why would they decide to remove her?
And lastly, the casting of the Sand Snakes and the Dornishmen in general is surprising, ethnicity wise. A white guy for Trystane, an asian girl for Nym, etc. I don't think it's that relevant though. People criticized the casting of Oberyn too when he was announced, and he rocked the part beyond belief.
They probably give Obara Ariannes role.
For the Greyjoy's, I think they skip this to the next season and instead keep telling the stories of Tyrion, Jon Snow and Danaerys.

I really like the new cast, especially the male ones. Some accomplished actors there!
I liked old Myrcella though. She looked sweet and innocent like she should. And I dont understand why she has to be made older. Maybe her acting was not good enough though.

It is just that they say Trystane is heir to Dorne. Which makes one assume that they cut Arianne and Quentyn. I always suspected they woud cut the Quentyn storyline.

I thought it sounds like they'll merge Trystane and Quentyn into one character, so he'll go to Dany in the following season or something. They could easily cut that storyline too though.

Oh. Well I guess then they'll merge Arianne with one of the Snakes. Not the biggest deal for me as long as we get at least one Southern temptress.
If it was up to me I would cut Quentyn out of the book as well while I am at it. Most useless story in the entire series.

Actually, I wish the show to be a lot different than the books from now on. I mean, even more than what it already is
This way, I'll have less problems to watch the show ends before the books

So I had the same mentality until I saw those youtube videos about Doran's master plan. While I must have missed it in my read through, apparently there's some evidence that it may not be Quentyn who got barbequed.

She was an extra basically, had 1 line in 4 seasons, and not even looked the part imo And now she'll have an important role, ofc they recast it
Well, she was definitely vocal about wanting her part back on social media during season 4.

So I suppose Obara will take Arianne's role and Trystane will by given Quentyns role. I think the Quentyn storyline is necessary so that the sun can set in the east.
Jonathan Pryce

dude neanderthal legolas is exactly what the old Daario looked like.
|
she s doing it right, trying to use social media/ public pressure to get a role.
That being said, i would have recast her too
|
What? She's just having some fun. She published that after she has been recast.
|

|
The irony off her saying that is that book readers who watch the show will have somethings spoiled for them in the next few seasons I am betting. Then again the whole cast could just be trolling us so nobody knows what is coming.
|
The more important facts they change in the show, the more likely it is that future changes could be not actual spoilers. So fervent book supporters should actually hope that they change the whole story next season.
|
I really wish we had news on Euron and Victarion.
But Jonathan Pryce seems perfect for his role, the kindly father figure.

Cutting LSH still makes me mad. I was really ok with everything up until that points but man. Cutting LSH was the worst thing they ever did to the show

I like it. Death should have some finality to it. Too much of this resurrection stuff weakens the story.

The number of true deaths far outweighs the ressurections...
Also, I don't see how so many people are freaking out about Arianne and not the Greyjoys? They play such a big role in Feast and Dance... I'm so unimpressed with how D&D act like there isn't enough material to keep the show going until Winds comes out. :/
