No Hodor or Bran in season 5...

There are no current plans to include Bran Stark (Isaac Hempstead-Wright) and Hodor (Kristian Nairn) in season 5 of the HBO fantasy hit. The rather stunning plot shakeup was first let out of the bag by Nairn during an interview. “We have a season off and we have a year’s hiatus, solely because I imagine our storyline is up to the end of the books,” he said, then added regarding his DJing career: “So, I get my year off now to do Rave of Thrones and gallivant all over the world.”
The move ditches Bran and Hodor now that they’ve reached Bran’s three-eyed crow mentor, which is nearly as far as the characters have progressed in George R.R. Martin’s novels. For the fifth season of the series, producers are going to a new Westeros country — Dorne, which will be shot in Spain — and adding some new characters. Leaving behind Bran will give the show more time to spend with the new characters, and some time for the other storylines to catch up to Bran’s (as well as for Martin potentially to release his next book in the saga, The Winds of Winter).

I actually like this. I understand Bran is going to end up being very important eventually, but his storyline has pretty much sucked for a while now. Focus on developing other characters and story lines, bring Bran back into the fold when he's ready to start doing shite

Wow. On one hand that makes sense, seeing as how Bran's story IS pretty much caught up with the book (but there were a few book developments that they could have filmed).
On the other hand, it's kind of gutsy to dump a fairly important character for a whole season. I'm trying to come up with an example where that has been done before but I'm drawing a blank.

I thought it was "Wind of Winter."
It will be kind of noticeable that Bran and Hodor are left out.

This sucks. I was hoping they would use Bran as a device to show flashbacks and history.

This broad asked me last night when the next season of Game of...
and i shouted "April! Now enjoy football season."
probably a good move. Cant wait to see how the Dornish characters avenge the Red Viper.

Good. Their story line sucked and took screen time away from other characters I'd rather be watching.

Well this is reasonable.
Their parts in the next two books, which include the last few scenes from the last season, are very scarce and little happens worth putting on air.
