So next season I predict we'll gain these members for the main cast:
Brienne
The Red Viper
Ramsay Bolton
Asha Greyjoy

And next season we'll lose the following characters of the main cast:
Tywin Lannister
Joffrey Baratheon
The Red Viper
Ygritte
The Hound (at least for Season 5)
Bronn (at least for Season 5)
Varys (iffy, since you could easily restructure Varys' story to go with Tyrion)

So Season 5 I think they'd add to the main cast:
Daario Naharis (he's basically going to replace Brown Ben Plumm)
Barristan Selmy
Loras Tyrell
Val

They have to wait til after the Purple Wedding though, unless Jaime sends her after Arya instead, and unless Tywin realizes that Arya slipped through his fingers, I don't see why any of the Lannisters would know of her survival.


Not that it is of huge importance to the show's writers, but Brienne would also need to get the sword from Jaime, and that can't really happen until after the wedding or at least just before it (since there are two swords). My guess on next season will go through:

On another note, After rereading bits and pieces, I decided to just start again from the beginning. I couldn't find my copy of GoT (it's been a while), so I just bought the Kindle version, which I'm liking. If I wasn't completely convinced of R+L=J (I was), Robert telling Ned that all Targ children were nothing but dragonspawn and that they all needed to die, and Ned's thoughts on that, pretty much sealed it for me. Plus, when he asks Ned about "that common girl of his, the one that he got his bastard on" and wouldn't talk about, on reread it comes off as a fishing expedition. Robert doesn't have a clue about this woman other than what he has heard. Having both of these things come up in the same conversation is interesting and telling.

I wouldn't mind buying that shirt but outside of the book readers no one would get it.

As for your main cast decisions:
-Brienne isn't in the main cast still? Damn, the Wench has been on the show since season 2.
-Ramsay the sausage eater should be in the main cast as well. He's going to be around for a while. Same with Asha.
-The Red Viper should be billed as a main character to make his death shocking with the Hodors, like when Sean Bean received top billing in S1.

Don't forget Lysa Arryn . I know she's not in the main cast but she dies as well .

Varys doesn't reappear until he kills Pycelle and Kevan, but I'm thinking for continuity's sake that he'll appear every now and then.

As for Bronn, no idea what to do with him since Lollys isn't in the show. That would've been so funny to watch that plot though.

I'm also starting to wonder if Gendry will be MIA for a season or two, unless they show him at that inn that was in that one Brienne chapter.

Now that I think about it, a lotttt of characters die in the last portion of ASoS. The Hodors shouldn't be mad at GRRM and the showrunners for introducing new characters to take the place of the deceased characters, but who knows. I recently started re-watching Season 1 and while watching it, I thought "Damn, most of these characters are are dead and have been dead for a while."

Agree with all of that. I think Arianne will be introduced in season 5, but probably not as a main character. And YES, Val needs to be in Season 5. No wait, she needs to be introduced in Season 4, since Stannis is going to let Jon decide if he wants to be the Lord of Winterfell. Have Val and Dalla even been mentioned on the show?? I have a poor memory.

Also, are there going to be any Sansa Littlefinger creepy scenes in Season 3 leading up to the forced makeout in the snow? Some of those scenes, mostly in AFFC, were . I think it was the last Alayne chapter when he kisses her full onthe mouth, tells her about her betrothal, and begs for some kisses that aren't 'dutiful'.

ETA: In season 5, will Aurane Waters and the other council members that Cersei selects be introduced?
