There were rumors that he would be killed in 9 and revived in 10, but I don't think that's the case. They are going to watch the meltdown for the next year Problem is that it opens them up to spoiling his ending (or new beginning) by a damn casting page. If he is recast for next year then it's obvious he'll be revived and if not, then GRRM is a cocksucker for killing off Jon snow




I've always been worried the show will make him write differently. Hopefully he has been far enough ahead and obviously consulting with them on how it should go.

It seems the rumors are building that WOW will be out before season 6, so it'll be enough time for us to read and then the show pick up.

I can't even think about him staying dead. Who is ice in TSOIAF, Sansa? The Rick? I'd have a meltdown man I'd think about it when I'm driving around

Yeah it would just make no sense. To me, it would tell me that GRRM did the worst thing he could do, and change his ending because people have already guessed the original

Crazy that we have just 3 episodes left. So tomorrow is "Hardhome", then we have "The Dance of Dragons", and the finale is "Mother's Mercy". It'll be interesting to see how they're going to space things out and if they'll leave us with a Jon Snow cliffhanger since that's usually not their style.


I'd like to see some of the assholes getting their due.

cersei
ramsay
roose
sand snakes
WW's

It'd be cool if the reason Jon gets stabbed is that he brings back a bunch of wildlings and then finds out about Sansa and wants to go to WF

I'll be honest - if they have Dolorous Ed Tollet be one of the daggers in the dark I would be royally pissed and look on it as the worse departure from the books yet. That guy is such a great minor character in the books and they've already taken away most of his dry laconic humor that I enjoyed from the books.

He has to know on his own or from people in his circle that this would be idiotic. His editors, publishers, Westeros.org, all those people would have to tell him his crazy

He's said a few times that he wouldn't do that. Now can I see the show changing his storyline? Possibly.

I know, but it's still a fear I have

And I don't think the show could change his storyline that drastically

He's more likely to die before writing his ending than he is to change it.

That gif made me

It's gotta be more than just Ollie though unless he stabs Jon that like the little guy did to Tug Speedman in Tropic Thunder

That has to be the way EP 10 ends right? What other cliffhanger could be so shocking to non-readers?

You gotta up that count Hugo especially for the irrelevants If the WW's are showing up to Hardhome, and they show any sort of fighting pit stuff, you gotta put the irrelevant count to 15-20+

Already figured this out. Cast Sean Bean and possibly one or two other known Dead figures for flashbacks.

We could get Bran seeing the Tower of Joy go down and then bam cut to Jon being revived.

Sorry guys don't read the thread much so this has probably already been discussed. Has anything been mentioned on the whole iron islands saga? Are they going to do it next season or are they just saying frick it? Was really looking forward to some crows eye

I think it's ignored. Probably too much for the series.

Casting news for next season has a role for a "pirate" that sounds an awful lot like Euron. And for a "priest" that some think sounds like Damphair (though most, including me think it sounds more like Septon Meribald).

And some sites have reported the actors who play Balon and Yara will appear in later episodes this season.

So I think you will see some Iron Isles stuff but a condensed version - likely no Victorian and probably no Damphair either.
