GoT on IMAX was pretty hot. I hope they do more things like that.
Season 5 early premier on the big screen would be incredible.

hehe cast as "a" Thenn doesn't sound very impressive
Kind of weird that the show is putting so much emphasis on the Thenns. I guess the point is to show that it makes sense for the Southrons to fear Wildlings; that in addition to lovely Ygritte and guffawing Tormund here also are these monsters. I dunno, though, Wildlings make sense to me if it's a huge mass of humans from dozens of tribes but if all we're exposed to are basically-good-and-honorable freedom fighters Mance and Tormund and then savage vindictive monster cannibals it starts to strain credulity that the Wildlings would be allied amongst themselves.

Heads up for book readers since this thread is more active. Possible major book spoilers incoming.

I read the letters. I wouldn't worry too much about them.
First and foremost, it's all very different then the actual novels. For example, there's a part about Sansa having Joffrey's child, and another about Tyrion burning Winterfell. Benjen is Lord Commander and Cat is killed by an Other. It's pretty much all like that. But also, the paragraph about the end game is totally redacted so even if it was accurate, the info is not out there. It's worth reading just to see how different his initial plans were.
Yes! Season of Kevan!!

You should spoiler that since the angle may just have been altered not removed from GRRM's writting. And there is absolutely spoiler material in the letter.

Very neat, but any of the 'future' stuff this hints at has largely been ruled out at this point in the game by the characters taking wildly different paths than what he imagines here.

Even if it's true most of what's there is no longer accurate to the story. I mean huge differences.
edit: Still neat to read though
Interesting that he lists the 5 key characters who will make it to the end of the series. Easy to guess the 5 but a lot of other characters have been added since then.

I knew that the
, and it could still happen.
Jon/Arya pairing wasn't just my imagination.
This is a surprise.

Isn't it a bit late to get 'casting news'?
I mean, haven't they already shot this season. How did we not know Kevan was back.
Not a complaint, I really just assumed he would be there. They kind of need him for Cersei to talk to someone now.

Interesting to see what seeds he had originally been planting in the first few chapters.
That Joffrey would eventually become a battle ready warrior, that Tyrion would get a chance to lead an army. I guess being an acrobat and tumblr he could become the head of an army. 
The pairing was hinted at in that chapter early on, but I didn't see that as a pairing at all, but how those two were bonded. She talks about missing him greatly.
How great that she of all people was this person that everyone was falling in love with. ha. I guess it's the ugly duckling thing.
I'm still waiting for Jon/Sansa.

Good. They should bring Lancel back as well. Maybe to replace the Kettleblacks?

And Moonboy for all we know.
So sick of that line.
It's usually dependent on whenever the actor or their agent updates their CV.

He is pretty much confirmed to be returning as well.
Yeah wasn't he mentioned in that leaked script.

There is some disturbing stuff in there.
Love triangle between Arya, Jon and Tyrion. Wat. she's like ten.

She would have been 15-17 by this time. GRRM wanted the series to span a wider length of time, and he very sorely abandoned his hope of a 5-year jump after the third book.
And then a Kraken appears.

Yeah, that's true, but
that would still make Tyrion almost twice her age

I'm hoping we get the entire Battle of Meereen, to be honest.
There are bigger age gaps in ASOIAF, unfortunately.

Haven't looked but I'm sure it was just transferred to Sansa unless that letter was after he wrote Sansa marrying him.

The flight plan I just filed with the agency list me, my men, Dr. Pavel here. But only one of you!
Well depending on which theories you believe, we may have already had Euron last season.
I kinda want this to happen just so we can have some weird crazy Greyjoy shit going down. D:

Ehhh im kinda glad they cut that. People already hate Dany enough.
Who the hell wrote that?
"Never betray me."
*Missandei throws Dany off the balcony*
"No."
Well, it's in the books but boy am I glad they cut that, the tone is just so different from the books it feels wrong. Also, I don't think it works with the older Missandei that the show has.
Well the actresses did a piss poor job of conveying it. I mean I get it, but Dany comes off as more silly and aloof than usual. It's almost like something out of a soap opera.
