Aw did Tania Raymonde not get cast?

I'm equally as bummed about this as I am pumped about Alexander Siddig though although I'm not sure that that evens out

I think Keisha Castle-Hughes is the one she lost out to.

I think it's possible that Euron might absorb some of Victarion's role in the plot and get introduced at the start of Season 6. But I think Aegon's chopped.

If season 5 does end with Dany flying off and finishing her ADWD plot, I wouldn't be surprised if the Ironborn fleet just appears from nowhere outside Meereen when she returns early in season 6. My guess is that plot-wise, the main reason Victarion arrives in Meereen is to provide ships to get Dany back to Westeros, and if that's actually the case then we don't need two season's worth of politics and exposition to get there. It'll really only take 1-2 scenes of "this is who we are (Theon's uncles), this is where we're going (Meereen) and why (to kidnap/marry the dragon queen and steal her dragons)" to fully establish them.

If they do this, I do think it'll more likely be Euron, and Victarion will be cut. Then they'll just need to explain that he's exiled and he reaves over here in Essos. Then he can steal one or two of the dragons (if that's what happens) and then go kill Balon.

If they don't introduce Wyman this season, then I'm sure he's cut. I'm sure they're gonna get to the gathering at Winterfell (wedding or no) this season and I don't think he'd be introduced after that.

I think they just wanted Bran to tell a creepy story to set the mood of the scene, and they thought rat king was the creepiest.

I still don't get why Balon isn't dead yet, especially since they made a whole scene of 3 dickleeches.

They probably don't want to kill him until they're ready to introduce his alleged killer. (Unless he's cut)

I thought I read that it's just Hodor that has the year off. So if so, he (and presumably Meera) will be off in another part of the cave during Bran's scenes.

Maybe I'm mis-remembering, but Tyrion & Jaime didn't part on particularly good terms in show did they?

They parted with a big loving hug.

Show-Tyrion loves Show-Jaime, that's just how it's gonna be. But nevertheless, his circumstances are still gonna take him towards Dany.

I was almost 100% sure that Tyrion and Dany were gonna be interacting in the pit while Drogon was having his fun, but I wasn't expecting this Tyrion on the the dais stuff. I'm curious.

I don't think Tyrion's ever going to be with Yezzan. I think Daario is going to buy Tyrion out of curiosity, Tyrion will explain who he really is, then Daario will introduce him to Dany.

I would be surprised if Daenerys both meets Tyrion this season AND flies away in a dragon.

But they're obviously filming Daznak now. They're doing this part, but not its climax? That seems very unlikely to me.

Interesting news about the Greyjoys - given that their main purpose seems to be conveniently providing a massive fleet for Dany to invade Westeros with, I wonder how that gap will be filled?
They pretty much already filled that. Daario mentioned the Second Sons capturing a fleet when they were war councilling after taking Meereen.

So maybe we are getting Tyrion's boat ride down the river after all.

I think I read on Watchers that the river boat part is being turned into a Tyrion/Jorah scene, so if this has reinvigorated your hope about seeing Aegon and Connington, you might want to kill that hope.

Though thus far, I don't think we've heard of Trystane's actor filming any scenes with the Meereen cast. Personally, I think don't think anyone is going to replace Quentyn and they'll bang out another way to release the dragons.

I doubt that they're condensing all of Book 6 into Season 5, I don't think we've heard of a scene being filmed that wasn't somewhat recognizable as being based on Feast or Dance (except a little Mercy-based stuff).

I half expected the skeletons to be adds in a boss fight with a white walker.

I was 90% sure there was going to be White Walker there overseeing everything, and Meera was going to shoot him with one of those obsidian arrows. I figured that that was the reason why they emphasized Sam giving her the arrowheads.

There's also the story of GRRM telling Alfie Allen who Jon's real parents were in return for meeting his sister or something, and he said "it involves a bit of a Luke Skywalker situation". (Ned is Obi-Wan in that analogy, I guess?)

I think there's a slim possibility they might find a way to introduce Euron in season 6, but there's absolutely no way you're ever gonna see Victarion in the show. Give that up.

I'm very, very fine with that.

This looks like it'll be a fine season. I'm still laughing at people who said AFFC&ADWD would take two full seasons (meaning 5 and 6, not 5 and that bit in season 4).

Oh man, thinking back to the people who were like "this show will have ten to twelve seasons, they can't do it in less than that!"
