The Winter really is coming OMG!!
Same. I really don't like her any more.

This would be my pick. Really not a fan of the character on the show anymore.

I think they would be a good choice, but not enough build up for a first episode. Maybe a mid-season death.
There's no way in hell she makes it through Season 6. The only questions are when she'll die and how.
That being said, episode 1 sounds a bit too early though they may just do it for a #OMGSHOCKINGDEATHONGOT Moment

I doubt that. This is one of a few consensus shows left in the sprawling diverse world that TV has become where everyone is watching as it airs and it has a discussion along with it each week.

Why would HBO want to mess up their schedule for the year to help out a book publisher for a few weeks? If GRRM finishes it close enough to where this is even possible, it'll be on Bantam/Voyager to shave a few weeks off their process. I hope this doesn't happen though, we don't need to give them extra incentive to rush the editing process again.
Okay then.
I don't know. D&D seem to love her to death. She's like their grim reaper of fan favorites.
She doesn't do much for last 2 seasons but shows up at the end of each finale topossibly kill Sandor and Stannis. Perhaps Jaime's next.

When you put it like that...yeah it seems like her job for the past few seasons has been do nothing for 9 episodes then show up at the end to kill a once hated character who is now very likable.
RIP Jaime/Theon this season I guess

I still like Brienne. She redeemed herself with the Mountain fight.
Without Stannis or Jon there's no point to her.
Unless it's Arya doing it.

Looks like no filming in Croatia for Season 6: http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/tv/news/game-of-thrones-season-6-wont-shoot-in-croatia-hbo-confirms-so-dont-expect-much-from-kings-landing-10464949.html
So what does this mean for King's Landing? I doubt they'll go an entire season without it. Maybe indoor scenes for the trial filmed elsewhere?
Edit: Apparently Meereen is also filmed in Croatia. Interesting.

Might not mean much. As they use up good filming spots at a location, they'll shift to a new place to for new filming locations.

I'm really going to be happy when the "is Jon dead" issue is cleared up once and for all.
I'm really not sure they'll ever come back. I think this crew is seriously like "eh, no one will remember them".

Isn't her point to have a large part in bringing back Jon? Also she is tied to the mythos surrounding the Lord of Light and the white walkers. Without her, we have no real insight on this part of the story.
I'M NOT DONE SEEING HER NAKED YET

Yeah, I think you can make an argument for Melisandre being more important to the overall story than as a supporting character to the doomed Stannis she has been tied to thus far.

I don't get the hype. He reappeared in the book, too, as the gravedigger. This could just be that.
Personally I don't get the excitement for Hound vs Zombie Mountain. His brother is already dead, what satisfaction will there be at chopping up a walking corpse?

The seduction of Jon Snow and the fact that's she's fire at an ice wall is not a coincidence. I agree.
Carice's modeling pics have been my wallpaper for the last year...
Yes to all of this! The thing about the mountain is that he is little more than a plot device in the show, and I'm really not interested in the Hound unless he gets to meet either of the Stark girls again, specially Arya of course. His arc came to a close.
I saw this before and it was amazing.

Not excited about that, and really don't think it's going to be good. Either the hound dies and this was pointless anyway, or Cersei is condemned, but we know she's not going to die yet. I am wondering what The Hound will do after this though. That's the real question.
What? Why?

Now that they have 8 seasons do you guys think they'll try to incorporate the griff storyline in some way?

It's about time they started bringing some of the good characters back.
Nah, that ship has sailed. Besides, I think that for them cutting the Griffs was something more along the lines of them cutting Stoneheart, where they're cutting a plot they just don't like, versus cutting a plot they don't have time or money for.

8 seasons isn't really that much time either if you consider how they need to get through what will take at least 800k+ words in two unpublished books.

Suuuuuper excited about
. Love him. And after some of the all-but-fan-service, like with Brienne and Stannis, I expect he will figure somehow, some way, into
story.

Would watch.

Would watch twice. Especially if he also called everyone cunts a few times.

I wonder if this is another instance of D&D pre-empting what GRRM is currently writing (as with burning Shireen), or making things up themselves. I doubt GRRM is letting the Hound end up just an obscure riddle; I think the gravedigger has more to come.

Personally, I didn't see them doing Zombie Gregor in the show unless Clegane Bowl was a thing in the series they'd do down the line. It's a thing that George set up as a Chekhov's gun way way back and the show has followed all the necessary steps that George has laid out in the novels thus far.
So, I think it's definitely something that George is doing in the novels and planned it many years ago.

My only problem with the Clegane Bowl idea is that the Hound is quite injured when Brienne sees him in AFFC; he's lame. Is he going to miraculously heal and then travel all the way to King's Landing to face his brother?
