I was thinking about it, and what are going to be the shocking moments of Season 5? All of the other ones had crazy unexpected moments, both good and bad, season 3 and 4 had them in spades, but from my recollection of AFFC and ADWD... none really stick out that weren't obvious.

(not that the fluff and new stuff isn't often good)[/QUOTE] But I'm saying... they don't even have one big thing for a whole season. Like, I can't think of anything even close to as big as last seasons big stuff [sp]Peter pusing Lysa out the moon door, Jorah being outed, Oberyn dying, Ygritte dying, fucking Pyp and Grenn dying, the bones of a child, fucking Tywin dying, nothing even comes close to being as exciting as even the smallest thing, which is Jorah leaving. Is Cersei walking naked as exciting as Danys most trusted advisor leaving her? Not really Please tell me anything else thats as exciting as that, other than Lady Stoneheart and Jon becoming Commander of the Nights watch[/sp]
Well what about (ADWD spoilers) [sp]Quentyn Martell being burned alive?[/sp] If they handle it well it could be briliant
Spent a week in Croatia. Didn't get to visit Dubrovnik (King's Landing), put managed to pop by Klis Fortress where they filmed some Meereen scenes and Kastel Gomilicia where they filmed part of [sp]Braavos[/sp] (not really a spoiler, but tagging just in case) for season 5: [thumb]http://i.imgur.com/piJBjUV.jpg[/thumb][thumb]http://i.imgur.com/e2OHbW3.jpg[/thumb] [thumb]http://i.imgur.com/tpaqJyG.jpg[/thumb][thumb]http://i.imgur.com/ZqlDSHi.jpg[/thumb]
[QUOTE=Kirbyfactor;46213094]Well what about (ADWD spoilers) [sp]Quentyn Martell being burned alive?[/sp] If they handle it well it could be briliant[/QUOTE] [sp]Quentyn is a character introduced in the same book he leaves, and he's not as memorable or likeable as Oberyn, and his death isn't a shock.[/sp] Really, when you look at all the plot stuff that happens in books 1-3 vs 4-5, it's obvious why the latter are less liked.

Not really Please tell me anything else thats as exciting as that, other than Lady Stoneheart and Jon becoming Commander of the Nights watch[/sp][/QUOTE] ADWD spoilers [sp] I actually do think Cersei's walk will be fantastic, and much more exciting than Jorah leaving. So in addition to Cersei, LSH and Jon's promotion I can think of "Arya's" wedding and Theon's escape sequence, Tyrion fighting in Daenerys' pits, Daenerys' wedding, Quentyn's attempt to release the dragons, Sam's meeting with the Maesters, the events involving Myrcella have clearly been tweaked for this season - if you read about which character is going somewhere they don't in the book this season, but despite that the whole arrest of the Sunspears sequence could be done pretty well, and what about the High Sparrow capturing and beginning the torture of Cersei- that could be a closing scene. Honestly I think they have enough, maybe not all of these are super exciting in the book but I don't doubt the show writers will give them all the right beats for an exciting closing scene. [/sp]
There's this amazing theory on The Others (White Walkers for you show folks), that is fucking impeccable. It's, legit, the best, most thematic, theory I've ever heard, even if it doesn't turn out to be true.

This animation is so awesome: [media]http://vimeo.com/108210854[/media]
even in the animated form walder frey is still a huge dick
So apparently they're gonna be doing flashbacks for this new seasons and show us younger versions of the characters.
i want to see young varys with his ball intact
[QUOTE=MR-X;46254637]So apparently they're gonna be doing flashbacks for this new seasons and show us younger versions of the characters.[/QUOTE] That makes sense, and is very good. They're giving GRRM a little more time without padding the show with boring filler, and actually interesting stuff. Show spoilers [sp]Also explains why Charles Dance is coming back this season[/sp]
Yeah, should make things a lot interesting. Some people are upset, but I'm all for it. I want GoT (TV show) to last as long as possible.
Should have done flashbacks in season 1, from the begining. Producers knew they'd risk catching up with the books. Why shorten things so much?
[QUOTE=MR-X;46254637]So apparently they're gonna be doing flashbacks for this new seasons and show us younger versions of the characters.[/QUOTE] There has been casting calls for certain characters that apppeared in flashback in one of the books (AFFC I think), including a younger version of one of the main characters. It was recently reported that [b]BOOK[/b] [sp]season 5 is going to open with a flashback, and that's likely to be the one with young Cersei and Maggy the Frog[/sp]. I wouldn't expect there to be more flashbacks than that one. [url=http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/thor-dark-world-actor-joins-741493]In other news, Adewale "Mr. Eko" Akinnuoye-Agbaje has been cast as a character named Malko.[/url]
What about the whole "promise me" thing and that fight before it? Why don't we get [I]those[/I] flashbacks? Or is that gone for good? [sp] Ned's gone, but maybe they can retcon it so that it took place in the view of a weirwood. [/sp]
Watch out for set pictures circulating today. I [I]really[/I] didn't expect to see what I saw when I clicked on a link.
Yeah watch the fuck out both book readers & unsullied, it's not just who's there it's whos missing which gives things away. BEYOND BOOKS spoiler [sp] Looks like Grey Worm & Barristan are doomed to die via Sons of the Harpy. Tyrion meets Dany much earlier, Jorah fights in his pit and could meet his doom. Holy fuck this is pretty huge stuff, can't wait for S5. [/sp]
