So are any of you following the season 6 set photos hmm

I would like to talk about that thing in the North which is a massive spoiler for the season and most probably TWOW as well.

S6 set spoilers

I followed the spoilers until people started posting videos and that kind of turned me off the whole things. It's different hearing about a possible path the show may take than seeing it visually as they film it.

And yeah agreed with BC about video spoilers, that's taking it too far. I mean the whole Tower of Joy scene is spoiled in one of those videos Laughing

by urbaNRoots Fri Oct 09, 2015 11:31 pm

There is other interesting S6 news coming out. Obviously beware of spoilers if you don't want to know

Am I the only one who is feeling D&D listened to all the criticism from book readers last season lol. Adding

Seems like they took a detour last season by adding filler in hope GRRM writes the 6th book. Because however good D&D are, they can't really make up their own script for season 6. And GRRM can't spend time at the set helping them either since he has a book to finish by Feb/March

by M99 Sat Oct 10, 2015 8:44 pm

But D&D always wanted to do 7 seasons while HBO keeps pushing for 8 hmm

by RealGunner Sat Oct 10, 2015 8:50 pm

Think it will go for 8 seasons now. I don't think ADOS is going to be the last book imo

by BarrileteCosmico Tue Oct 20, 2015 11:34 pm

So if we're hoping for a March 2016 release and they need 3 months to do the propper editing/marketing this means the announcement has to come before year's end, right? Otherwise it's not beating the show. And yet we've been hearing very little news.... not encouraging.

by urbaNRoots Tue Oct 20, 2015 11:45 pm

Martin said just recently in his Not A Blog, that he is not done writing TWOW.

Such a shame, a pre-S6 release would be not only great for the fans but marketing-wise aswell.

by M99 Wed Oct 21, 2015 2:54 am

We can start panicing after Martin makes no announcement in December.

Also on the Blackfish returning,

Up to AFFC now. Jaime is so GOAT. He's got so many great chapters that don't really get played out in the TV series. The Kingsguard have more character as well. In the TV series, its Jaime, Meryn Trant and then a bunch of jobbers.

Only disappointing storylines I've found so far is Brienne trying to find Sansa and anything involving Bran.

by free_cat Wed Nov 11, 2015 2:47 pm

AFFC is the worst book of the series. By far. I almost stopped reading there.

by BarrileteCosmico Wed Nov 11, 2015 5:53 pm

Will always recommend to people they read the combined read as opposed to AFFC and then ADWD. It makes both books way more enjoyable.

by RealGunner Wed Nov 11, 2015 5:57 pm

Didn't find AFFC bit from the combined version bad at all tbh.

by BarrileteCosmico Wed Nov 11, 2015 6:04 pm

Also every time this thread is bumped I get my hopes up. It's going to be like this for the next 6 months. Just release the thing already GRRM.

by RealGunner Wed Nov 11, 2015 6:06 pm

lmao

Trust me, when there is a release date. You'll know

by urbaNRoots Wed Nov 11, 2015 6:58 pm

The series gradually got worse after ASOS. AFFC > ADWD for me aswell but only because ADwD is so bad.

Just thinking about all the cliffhangers, main characters having awful arcs (apart from the Northern arc which was awesome). Tyrion being a depressing shithead conversating with scrub characters. Daenerys sitting on her ass dealing with Ahssjxncnak zo Ahahdbana, Quentyn travellig somewhere, Victarion travelling somewhere, Jon Con travelling somewhere. Pfff.

The North remembers, Lord Davos. The North remembers, and the mummer’s farce is almost done. Proud

by urbaNRoots Thu Nov 12, 2015 8:43 pm

Lord too fat to sit a horse Proud

Brandon Stark, Brynden 'Bloodraven' Rivers (Max von Sydow!), Rickon Stark, Smalljon Umber, Wyman Manderly, Howland Reed, Walder Frey, Brynden 'Blackfish' Tully, Edmure Tully, Septon Meribald (Ian McShane!) Sandor Clegane (GET HYPE!), Euron/Balon Greyjoy, Randyll Tarly, Archmaester Marwyn, Khal Jhaqo.

So many awesome characters being introduced/returning in S6 :bow:

The only major storyline confirmed missing from the books are the Griffs and their allies/friends. Can't even say Lady Stoeheart is confirmed missing with some filming news hints.

by urbaNRoots Sat Nov 14, 2015 11:58 am

Ian McShane provides intriguing hint about his Game of Thrones role

“I’ll give you one hint,” McShane told Pop Goes The News. “I am responsible for bringing somebody back that you think you’re never going to see again. I’ll leave it at that.”

He also says of his role, “[It’s] a one-off episode.”

GET HYPEEEEE!!!!!!!!

HYPE IS COMING!

AS HYPE AS HONOR!

FAMILY, HYPE, HONOR!

HEAR ME HYPE!

OURS IS THE HYPE!
