Got through episode 3 of S5. Seems like we are really accelerating through Tyrion's trip to Dany. Makes sense since it was really drawn out in the book, although I think I ended up enjoying that stretch more then others. I take it there is no Young Griff in the show then?
Only got a glimpse of Dorn in episode 2 but it already looked as bad as I was warned.
Curious how much overlap there will be with Sansa in future books and the show.
Also Jamie/Bronn road trip could be fun.

Nope.
It's not, although it does provide a couple of the best moments in the series' history, so keep watching!
Haha.
Well it should be interesting to see how it plays out then. I hardly remember what Jamie is doing in the last two books. Going after the Blackfish at Riverrun I think.
I love Maisie Williams!

No book reader snobbery?
I wanted someone to shout Dany's most famous GOT line. Or that classic line from last season that's responsible for them winning a writing Emmy.

Unless you're making me the king of this thread, in which case I gratefully accept.
What?! I always thought you were around my age or slightly older.
Nope. I'm older than the Podrick actor but younger than Brienne actress.

I would die for Maisie Williams
She looks like the type of girl who would enjoy that.
Have we considered that maybe Speevy is lots of different people of various ages, maybe all stacked under a trenchcoat, and this is why he converses with himself over many posts in a row and has to define his age as a 14-year Brienne-to-Podrick interval?

Do we think that Arya warging into a cat is going to be in this season =^.__.^=
No warging. It totally does not work on the show. Every scene that involves warging has been terrible.

But will they do it? :O (and will we get a scene with Jon inside Ghost ∪・ω・∪

I think they will. It's kinda important to her getting her sight back.
I kinda Arya will join up with Tyrion and Dany next season on their way back to Westeros.
Woah, Selmy went out with a bang. He's still ok in the books right? Been a while since I've read them.
What are the chances we get a Sean Bean sighting in S6. I think we got a brief glimpse of that flashback in S4, curious if they would expand upon it. Who doesn't want to watch Ned chilling by the weir wood.

Wait why would she go back with them to westeros? Given their intentions, which would put the north in further danger. Unless Dany is convinced in believing in the white walkers as a real threat and wishes to prove her worthiness to the realm as the right full successor to the throne by using her dragons against them. But either way she will be walking to into a war already in motion in the west.
Feel bad though for the little king in all this.

Ok, thought he was still good. Thanks!

That sounds really bad
I would have thought not, but they're doing the blind stick fighting, so maybe? But given that Arya is a parkour master now, they might just decide that nah she went full Daredevil as a blind stick fighter, instead of saying that she used cats to cheat.
I wish I shared the confidence of you guys. I am worried once the show events passed the books, D&D started aiming for the most unpredictable turns for the story rather than the best fitting ones.
I just don't think Kit would straight up lie, avoiding the questions or not commenting would have been great. Watching his response at the 7:00 mark only leaves hope for him sitting out a season or two: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hT0hsKz2NFI

This reminds me of the panicking in PoliGaf whenever a poll shows Bernie having a slight chance of winning...Jon Snow is back and not in black.

I really doubt they're going to bother with anyone outside Bran warging, they've had so many opportunities to tease it over the last two or three seasons and never did. Though doing things while cutting all the build up for it would probably be up their alley.
I was hoping for at the very least, to see a wolf dream for Arya and maybe Jon last season (and season four for that matter) was the time to do it IMO. Have they even mentioned the pack of wolves causing havoc?
HBO and D&D told him not to say anything so he wouldn't, he's lying because he has to.

I don't know, what does that lead her to?
Two season of Facelessman development going into the final arc of the season where peoples storys are coming to a close. Only her and Brans are so open ended right now and we already know he is going against the nights king with his magic powers. Arya is more like what could she possibly do that would be satisfying for 6 or 7 seasons of character development.
She has to be involved in the White walker plot somehow

Maybe Bran learns something that completely changes at how he/we look at the invasion of Westeros by the White Walkers and the Night's King. That would be an interesting twist, but it seems like it will probably an expected scenario that will play out.
As for Arya I would think that she may never have to interact with Dany or Tyrion, and that her arc is very separate until maybe the very end. (Reunification of the remaining Starks)
Oh, I remember really looking forward to it. Like, I was more excited about the prospects than anything else early into the season. What a waste.

Not before
she wargs into Nymeria and sees the birth of LSH.
Going blind is actually a good reason for her to gain the ability, just like Bran did not gain it until after he become a cripple.

Tower of the Hand has chapter by chapter summaries of the books. I'm not sure if they're finished with the whole series yet, last I checked they stalled out somewhere in ADwD.
GamesRadar put together a ~10 minute video recap of the show here on youtube.
No avatar shenanigans for you this year?
