Oberyn was S-tier. He stole the show this last season. Tywin and Theon were also up there.
I agree with this. I love Dinklage and his incredible portrayal of Tyrion, but the accent is pretty bad. The one word that always gets me is...well, "always" itself; for some reason he pronounces it as "ole-ways". It's pretty jarring to hear if you're on this side of the world, but it's such a minor nitpick in an otherwise great actor's performance.

Here's what the WiC Mod 'Fury' has to say about the possible Myrcella recast:
"Were already looking into it. Well let you guys know what HBO says as soon as we hear back, as always."

boooo, the current Myrcella actress seems cool.
They should bring her back as young Cersei.

Pretty much how I feel. I don't think Clarke is a great actress, but she plays the character very much how I've interpreted it.

Meh at the recast just I'd rather not see them.
Part 2 of season 5 of Breaking Bad spilled into a second one I believe. We have about 35k posts between the two threads this year though.
I'll probably post the new OT late tonight, as I don't know when I'll have time tomorrow.

@Alliser: He hurt is leg, but I saw no evidence that he was gravely wounded in last week's episode.
I didn't get the impression that Alliser was gravely wounded either, not sure where people are getting that from.
But it wasn't caused it spilled over 20k posts per episode was it?

Yeah, I have no clue where the dead Thorne talk was coming from. He was barely injured, then dragged, still with his wits, screaming his head off. Close to the grave, that man was not.
He'll be up and ready for the final episode where Jon can go on hating his guts and he can go on wishing Snow's wildling whore had done the job for him.

I like Thorne as a character in the show. He's a dick to Jon for basically no reason, but he also is fairly competent as a leader (with the exception of his blond spot to Jon's valid advice). I like that he's not one-dimensional. He's an asshole but you still respect him for his passion for defending the wall, especially in that last episode.
With me now! Now, with me!

The previously on for episode 10 is up.
In my mind it is now 100% confirmed Stoneheart is cut/saved for next season. The internet is going to be unbearable after the episode ugh.

Haven't followed the discussion so far, and so I don't know why Lena Headey's stone heart isn't evidence to the contrary, but nevertheless I still think that she will appear. It would be a big cliffhanger, it would be a good counter-balance to all the injustice that happened so far, and it would not cost much screen time.

Fucking hell, no LSH is going to suuuuuuuck
nah, i think it would make for a good open to S5. It seems too early to me to reveal her and give her any gravitas. reveal in S5E1 with some 'token Freys' and have her meet up with our expected characters near the end of the S5.
You do it as the last scene of the season to get people HYPED as shit for the next season (Starks are gonna get their revenge, ect)
Opening the season with it is silly.
Way worse, like in orders of magnitude of a thousand, is there's no mention of Tysha. Think about what this means.
Also it completely spoils and ruins the arrival of Stannis.
Agree. There is also no necessary reason to remind the audience of the red wedding in the recap, especially since that scene is supposed to be a gib surprise.
Yeah, that was a silly move. :-/

there are already a ton of things happening in S4E10, hype isn't going to be a problem.
Opening it in S5E1 will set the tone for the series going forward, tides shifting.

I mean, Joffrey was Episode 2 this season. Not everything has to be a cliffhanger. But Stoneheart would work so fucking well as one.

I like current Myrcella. If she get's recast, her vines will be sad.

Agreed, it was dumb. Most non-readers I know think Stannis is sailing for King's Landing right now. If they needed to put a scene with Stannis in, they should have put the one with Davos telling Sallador San that Stannis how has money, and they they sail the next morning. That way it stays ambiguous.

You honestly thought they'd put Catelyn in the preview?
It's not the lack of Catelyn/RW that cements Stoneheart's non appearance, it's the lack of reminding people the Brotherhood is a thing that exists (and they could easily do that without showing the resurrection stuff).
edit: And yeah that Stannis scene why would they put that there after doing a pretty good job of making it ambiguous of where he went lol

Anyone watching the TYT reviews of GoT episodes? Love that reaction to Oberyn's death: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2bEG0Ybj7v4

Okay, thinking they might save LSH for S5. If only for the relatively lack of "big" moments like those in the remaining material.
That might be an option, the could move LSH to the end of S5.
I wonder what they will do with FFC anyway. The book was definitely the "slowest" of them all, and introduced new characters and places, which might confuse TV watchers even more. Wouldn't be suprised, if S5 tells the whole story of FFC and DOD.
It's tempting to tell non-book readers to not watch the recap. Should someone make a post like that in the other thread?
How could they be this stupid?
They have been keeping it a secret for the entire season. That's why most non-book readers think he's going to King's Landing if he's going anywhere at all.

So, are the bets open? Lady Stoneheart in or not?
My bet: she's in. Easily. D&D are dumb hacks but not that dumb.

ElTorro : So that's a vote for in? (Hey, some people like to bet against odds...)

Yeah, it's an in. It's the perfect cliffhanger. The only alternative would be to move it to the end of S5. But that scene has to be the final scene of S4 or S5 in any case.
But he said he's going to the wall. Not in the books, on the show.
There's no big surprise, no big reveal. He said he's going to the wall in season 3, episode 10 and in all subsequent scenes, he's gathered an army.
The whole point of shocking TV moments is that they're genuinely shocking. If they're just shocking to the people who can't be bothered to pay attention to things that are explicitly said, what's the point?

I'm 50/50 on the whole LSH thing, there are arguments for both, although I consider the "no one has seen or mentioned the brotherhood this whole season" a pretty strong one for why they would push it back to like ep 2 or 3 in the next season after maybe having the guy die and be resurrected again once or twice
yeah he did, but look at the tv only thread most people there think he is going to KL again, at least from what I've been reading

Preview does mention her name twice, so there's that, but not enough evidence to guarantee it.
It's a bit of a bummer to think all this time since the RW Cat's been using her new lease on 'life' to hang Freys, and yet show-watchers will continue to remain all the more unaware.
