Books: A Song of Ice and Fire [SPOILERS]

[Halb]

I wouldn't be surprised if the whole Ageon thing is cut.
I'd bet that Arianne and Qyent are out.
Only one Greyjoy uncle to be in.

[ali_kat]

Why do you think Aegon would be cut? Isn't his story critical to Tyrion's?

Lack of Greyjoys is no bother

Going on holdiay on Saturday, have put all of the books back onto my Kindle to re-read (again!)

He's probably fake and we are 4 seasons into a 7 season show.

Tyrion has plenty of other things he can do on his journey.

I'm not even sure that Ageon is critical to ASOIAF.
Tyrion can go pretty much straight to Dani.
I want Greyjoys though!

[ali_kat]

That's my point, non of us were sure whether he is or he isn't.

However, not the TV show is spoiling it & it apprears that he is, as JagLover says, a fake

[Halb]

I don't care whether he is a fraud or not in the story.
Not sure if I actually care if he is in the show.
But I hope the adaptation doesn't waver too much.
I guess the story that might be hit biggest is the North and the Boltons.

[richtea78]

I don't think the Boltons will be cut, the characters are cast and I think they are going to be important later

I think the Aegon story could go, I also think they could cut vast bits of the Dany story and no one would care. The whole marriage and plague sub plots can go

[Halb]

The showrunners say the North will be a big story next year. I think it'll be a lot different to the books.
Still not seen any casting calls for it either.

[richtea78]

I think trying to second guess the show is pointless

[Halb]

I think it is more so now.
I was hoping to see some applicable roles, but the only northern part has been Varamyr. No Iron Islands or Umbers.

I think the heart of that story will be shown. There may be no Fake Arya and a few of the northern lords might be cut but we are heading towards a battle of ice in the show, just as in the books.

What do people think of Darkstar?

Martin's UK editor says TWOW won't be out in 2015.

Might not be that bad with regards to so-called 'spoilers'. The book couple off Thronecast have three one hour videos online, and they give a good reasoning of what to expect in the fifth series. There is leeway for very few 'spoilers'.

Elia and Linda? 3 1 hour episodes =| That is some talking that
Someone on Westeros.org pretty much nailed it for me. They wrote out what season 5 would be like and I thought similar. Can't find the post now though as there is that much talk going on on that forum that I just can't keep up. Don't even actively try to participate in speaking on there because of it.
I think season 5 could go right up to the end of DWD leaving season 6 for some fresh new material.
Early 2016 I guessed a while back for the book to come out. That would have it released the middle/end of when they are shooting for the program?

I go there, I've seen one or twi tjat match my own thiughts on where the story will go.


I was expecting Areo to be a massive fooker, he looked a bit small. I had a friend of a friend who went up for Areo, he didn't get it.
Love the fact that Pryce is in there...shocker.

Lena Headey
'I'm a Khaleesi not a queen, fk sake mate'
The ending is brilliant with Jaime and Tyrion.

Regarding Areo, why is he black? I always imagined him white and huge!

His description
Areo is broad-shouldered with white hair. He bears a longaxe that has a shaft six feet long.

[richtea78]

I imagined him black in the books to be honest

Me too, large & ebony black with white hair.

Problem is, you just don't get that size of actor.
