This is an unconfirmed recast of Cersei's only daughter, who was played by Aimee Richardson in seasons 1 and 2.

I'll be sorta pissed if this happens, Aimee owns: https://vine.co/v/MJp2KxmPei1

Don't worry , I have it on good authority that Richardson has been recast next season to play The Mountain.

Um, I'm pretty sure you're thinking of Issac Hempstead-Wright there.

Well this sucks. One of the new S5 actors has died after filming only a few scenes.

Season 5 isn't even done filming yet.

Are you sure? I swear that interview with Natalie Dormer mentioned that S5 has wrapped.

I like that the copyright and anti-piracy measures are "only click this if you already own both books!"

Eh, it's more than most would do. It's basically just a slightly stronger honour system, and I imagine anyone who actually wanted to pirate the books would simply go elsewhere.

Well to give them a slight bit of credit, it's then followed up with a prompt asking you to put in a specific word from a specific page of one of the books.

I've been doing my re-read of AFFC/ADWD using this order. Aside from the occasional perspectives doubling up on each other, it's amazing how much better it all flows.

I was actually reading that they were a single book originally (called A Feast for Crows), but the manuscript got so massive that it couldn't feasibly be a single book, so it was split by characters rather than in half. Given that, I wonder if A Ball of Beasts could really be considered the true order, one that we only didn't get because no one wants to put a 2000-page book together.

I've finally gotten to A Ball of Beasts and I'm a few chapters in. After looking at the publication dates and seeing which characters feature in Feast and Dance respectively, it occurred to me that readers had to wait ELEVEN loving YEARS to continue the stories of some of them.

I feel like I'm watching a wintery storm from within a heated room.

Something I thought people might be interested in - a couple of original based-on-GoT songs by Miracle of Sound.

And in case anyone missed it, the last two episodes of season 4 will be screening in IMAX theaters starting next week (the Battle of Castle Black and the aftermath episode; you'll only see Oberyn's face smash on a giganto screen if they show a "previously on"). It'll also include the first real trailer for season 5.

And for the curious, the OP's been updated with a bunch of casting info for season 5.

I honestly wish Australia was getting this, the Battle for the Wall in IMAX sounds like it would own. Though, for such prices they should be showing the whole first ep of S5. :v:

Also, thanks to whoever it was that mentioned A Ball of Beasts. I'm two-thirds of the way through now and thoroughly enjoying it, though I do get the criticism about it seeming to be like 2000 pages of table-setting. But I love it - the only problem is that whenever Ser Boros Blount is mentioned my brain starts screaming "SER DOCTOR PRINCIPAL BOROS".

Excellent, thanks.

Also, as the comments note, this trailer basically confirms that a 'leaked script summary' from a while ago is actually genuine. So people may want to watch out.

Most of you probably have it preordered already, but I thought I'd point it that the S4 Blu-ray is only $34.99 at Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Game-Thrones-Season-Blu-Ray-Digital/dp/B00KHWSD1O
