Also it's hard to set up Jaime's rejection of Cersei in Dorne, cause the whole reason he went there was to gain her approval back, so clearly he's still infatuated with her. thats a lot to cram into a 10 hour season dont you think? Almost as if the show could be significantly better with a longer season! Sadly theres only so much sweet HBO money to go around | ||

If I'm right, that means 3 sandsnakes and 4 nieces, so... Sarella Sand confirmed? Oldtown confirmed? | ||

If I'm right, that means 3 sandsnakes and 4 nieces, so... Sarella Sand confirmed? Oldtown confirmed? Sam mentioned Oldtown at some point, too. I really am curious what book Sam is going to do and achieve in Oldtown, I honestly have no clue. But for some reason I'd really like to see Oldtown in the show, no matter what its plot purpose actually ends up being. | ||

Considering how bloated the show has gotten, it's great that they left out / haven't introduced those details. I would have preferred more exclusions. Less supporting characters, less non-essential scenes. and more screen time for main characters and central plot lines. | ||

I WOULDN'T cast Madds Mikkelsen. For some reason everyone wants to see him play Euron but I don't think it's a good idea. I think Euron should look like a rogue or a pimp, even the actor who plays Daario now would be a better match. | ||

I just want someone who can play the role, i think Mikkelsen could do it pretty well. My personal favorite would be James Purefoy though, i loved him in ROME, i think he would be perfect | ||

Victarion's contribution to the coming battle in Meereen (big enough to stand alone) A couple lords of the north have copies of papers legitimizing Jon, freeing him of his NW vow, and declaring him KitN and Robb's heir. The 'real' dance of Sansa betrothals and Vale politics. It appears very possible that Jon is not a 'warg' for the show's purposes. The nuance that Coldhands' existence adds to the 'Ice and blue eyes' version of undeath. Iron Bank is directly backing the Night's Watch Iffy and commented ones: Freeing the smaller dragons could still happen in around the same point, it will just be different people doing it. The difference in Tyrion between book and show is basically a lost plot point. He (and a bit of Jorah) seems to be set to merge with Barristan going forward. And most important of all...Jalabar Xho! He has to matter eventually, right? Right!? He's not just mentioned every time the faces at court in KL are for the sake of adding color...is he?

They already mentioned the full headcount of 8 sand snakes last season. | ||
