Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Not sure if this has been posted and discussed already, but Jon Snow's eyes noticeably turn a lighter shade as he lays there dying. Any significance to that?

I didn't notice that. I was waiting for his eyes to go all wargy. Would've been a perfect ending cause show watchers would be going crazy trying to figure out what it means.

I rewatched the scene and just don't see any dramatic change. If it was warging, his eyes would turn an obvious white. What I did see is a reflection of light appear in his pupil after the camera started zooming in. Perhaps Melisandre appearing with a torch? Jon seems to be trying to react to something as he's dying...
 
David Benioff is married to Amanda Peet? Lucky piece of shit!
 
Huge casting news today from Watchers on the Wall. I cant post (maybe someone can help), but looks like an Umber and Arthur Dayne, plus a ton more.

Cian: The specificity of requesting that the actors be residents of Ireland/Northern Ireland would seem to indicate that the majority of their filming may be in Northern Ireland. It also looks as though the North may be getting a strong focus next season, if these parts are anything to go by. In particular, the “Lord of Noble Northern House” sounds like a certain Umber might be being cast. And… I think it’s a pretty safe guess we’ll be seeing Arthur Dayne, too. What do you think?

Qhogo and Akrat: They’re seeking mixed ethnicity or other non-white actors for the roles. The successful young warriors need to be tall, confident, with swagger and linguistic bravado. It’s noted that the actors will have to speak in a fictional language. I think it’s safe to say that these are Dothraki.

Bower: He is a powerless servant, numb to the horror he serves. He’s filming around one of the days that below “outlaw band” members are so he may be connected to them. He is required to have a Northern or Midland English accent and appears in one episode.

Lachlan: He’s the big leader of a group of renegades who have turned on the land that they swore to protect. They’re now extorting the poor and vulnerable. He appears in 2 episodes in season 6.

Flynn: He’s part of an outlaw band. The group is using religion to justify terrorizing and extorting what they need from the people of the countryside. He appears in 2 episodes in season 6. He appears to be part of Lachlan’s band.

Japeth: Another member of the outlaw band is this lieutenant. He’s a “rough-and-ready type” with a strong physical presence, also appearing two episodes.

Legendary Fighter: A man in his thirties or forties who is a great swordsman and a paragon of knighthood. He carries a famous sword. The show is seeking a very impressive swordsman for the role- the best in Europe, for a week of filming fight scenes for a season 6 role. His ethnicity/race isn’t specified, unlike many other roles.

Lord of Noble Northern House: (Casting age anywhere between 25-50) The lord is a savage warrior, and he rules a distinguished house in the very far North, and the role is said to be an impactful one. He’s described as a massive bear of a man with a beard and temper to match, and hatred that run deep, and he can be violent. The show’s looking for someone with a powerful physique who can tower over other cast members, a Northern English Accent and specifies he has to be at least 180 cm tall. The role will be on 2 episodes.

Lord of Northern Stronghold: The show’s looking for an actor in his late thirties or forties to play another lord, one that’s ruthless and calculating. The frightening lord rules a vassal household with a castle stronghold. He’ll be in 3 episodes this year, with 20 days of filming this summer and fall.

Hunter: He’s a rough army officer on the hunt appearing in an action scene with main cast, in one episode.

Submissive Maester: The show’s casting a maester in his twenties- a timid young maester. He’s decent but has trouble standing up to others. He appears in one episode in season 6.

Green Recruit: A young man with one line and one day of filming in August.

Sympathiser 1, 2 & 3: These are rough military types, with a day of filming.

Housemaid: She’s the motherly nanny (with a tight whip) to a large household.
The show wants an actress between the ages of 45-65 with a Northern English Accent. She’ll be in 2 episodes.

Father: He’s tough and old, an alpha male patriarch. The show is looking for a man with a Northern English Accent. He appears in one episode and has 2 lines.
 
Saw that. Some pretty good stuff in there. Arthur Dayne! Was really curious about the religious group of renegades. Is this a twisted version of the BwB that we have yet to read about in the books?
 
I always thought that GRMM should have just finished the whole series first before signing off on a series adaptation. This should have created more materials for HBO to work with. Are there any news that he is working both on 6th and 7th book at the same time or just the 6th book? If he can release the 6th book this year it would at least give him a year to finish the last book at least although considering the # of years he spent on the 4th and 5th one i guess we will see the last book after the tv series has ended which kinda sucks.

Yeah, there's zero chance the final book is out before the show concludes... unless the show is extended to 15 seasons.
 
Or the Sparrows get out of control.
I can imagine some pretty good scenes involving randyll tarly dealing out cruel and swift punishment to these outlaws. Good way to introduce his character maybe.

Looks like the Northern plot from ADWD (Umbers, Karstarks, Davos looking for Rickon) minus Stannis(?). Why they decided to cut him and make the storyline span two seasons, particularly given the constraints of having only two seasons left in the show, is beyond me when it could have been concurrent this season. Odd play on their part.

BWB without LSH. Ok. Why not. Let's have another season of Dorne going no where to boot.

Also interesting to note that filming will be this summer and fall, which means the scripts for next season will definitely be complete long before the next book is out.

This doesn't mean George R Martin hasn't shown the show writers what he has written or tell them the major plot points of the book.

Probably to save in casting. Davos and Stannis were going to be in season 5 anyway, and those northern lords and Rickon may have been needed beyond season 5 no matter what.
