Let's hope they know what they are saying.  And sorry D&D, I know you are not trying to hype it, but you kind of did.  ALL THE HYPE.   |

One thing to come from this is that they mentioned their GOT cover is being released soon so we can expect some new info and pictures in the next week or two. |

Only about 20 days left to the red carpet thing and episode 1 spoilers I'll probably skip spoilers this year. We'll make a special thread for them, don't worry. Though I doubt anything as spoilery as some of the shit you already know about the season will happen in the first episode. |

Apologies for being away for so long but it's about time to get back into Thrones so I thought I'd ask about one of the plotlines I'm unsure of. If this has been discussed, apologies again, but is there a general consensus on what Theon and Yara are up to? We know the Kingsmoot is happening and Theon will be linked up with Yara there. I'm not sure how Theon gets himself to the Iron Islands but I'm sure this will be accomplished with not much explanation after he's separated from Sansa. But after the Kingsmoot, I take it it's believed that Yara will be dispatched in the Victarion role to go to Dany. Is Theon tagging along with her or will he stay with Euron so that we get a known POV to follow a new character? My guess from the books is that after Stannis kicks it, Theon and Asha will end up back in the Iron Islands and there will be some eventual leadership struggle with Theon reclaiming his birthright (or sacrificing himself for Asha). I think the show will get us all there eventually too which bodes well for both of them surviving the season. If they do ship Yara out to Essos to link up with Dany, it makes me curious as to what Victarion's purpose in the books is as it is mostly assumed he's simply there to deliver the Iron fleet to Dany (whereas on the show, she already has a navy waiting for her in Meereen). Maybe there needs to be a Greyjoy link for Dany that becomes more important later on. Or maybe they just need to find something for Yara to do for a season while other plotlines are catching up, it wouldn't be the first time for that. I'd very much like Theon to be by Yara's side all season because I think the show has done a good job of building their chemistry and bond but I suspect he won't be for long. The King's Moot seems structured differently from the book( and by the way the show goes back and picks up stuff from Feast) it seems skinned down. I can't figure what exactly it is about Yara and Theon chased off? What's that about? Not in the books and seems not even in Winds of Winter. Of course we will not see one of the most poignant scenes in the book , where Asha meets (Reek-like) Theon in Stannis's camp , that is I guess we will not , unless Yara has gone North and collects Theon after he has parted with Sansa. Boy if Yara and Theon do go to Essos to parlay with Dany it is NOT SPOILER time for Winds of Winter, since one huge set of initial chapters dealing the the breaking of the siege at Meereen and the arrival of the Iron Fleet aint gonna be there, so we will have to read that story later this year , if Yikes, Wow appears!  |

www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/games-thrones-star-joining-elisabeth-877218So this could be construed as interesting. Gwendoline Christie has signed on for a major role on the 2nd installment of The Top of the Lake mini-series. The first series reportedly took about 4 months to film and it appears as if this one is shooting right away. So theoretically, she could still be freed up to shoot S7 of GoT if she started a little later than usual but you could also infer that she's now freed up because she's done with GoT after this season as well.

Could be... i think she survives until season 7 given that jaime is at riverrun at the end of the coming season and things probably wont be completely resolved there until 6x10. But we also don't know where they are taking the riverlands story exactly so it could be.

Taking a lead in a TV series that films in another continent for months is a little different. Like I said, it's possible to make it work but it's a bigger deal than taking on the regular movie role, this conflicts more significantly and is a much bigger time commitment. |

I'm almost certain she won't die in this season. |

It certainly could be. I put Brienne on my list of candidates to be the character who unexpectedly dies at the end of the season, as announced by Javi of the Seven Kingdoms. And I think this will be our last season with Mel. There is something about the way in which Sue announced Carice's pregnancy, and in the words she chose, that makes me think that Sue knows that Mel will die but she didn't wanted to say it openly. |

I'm still not sure she knows. She never let anything slip about the Stannis and Shireen deaths, for example. She gave us no clues at all. With Carice she is so insistent and hesitant that it seems like she genuinely might not know what happens to her. And Javi certainly doesn't have a clue - she said Carice would feature minimally because she'd been on set only once or twice, which wasn't true at all. She went there four, five, perhaps up to six times. That doesn't sound so minimal to me, but who knows? Brienne would be a shocking death, certainly to me anyway, but Cami said Javi doesn't care about Brienne at all so she probably doesn't qualify. |

Hell yeah, I loved Top of the Lake. I'm glad she'll be part of season 2.
I think she should be able to handle both.

Who are the burning corpses in the Snowbowl? Who is the surprising dead character? What are going to do the Greyjoys after the Kingsmoot? Will there be a battle of Meereen? What's happening in King's Landing during and after Cersei's trial? Yeah, we have tons of spoilers, but we are (mostly) off books. It's very fun to be in the darkness. |

Thinking about this a bit more though, I do think as we move closer to the end of the show, things like an actor getting pregnant or getting a role in something else will provide us with a better idea than past years if they are being offed in the coming season. Reason being that storylines should be merging with each other, so they would have to coordinate things not only with Carice, for instance, but an ever increasing number of other actors as the series nears the end. |

Yes. Rescheduling to fit a particular actor's schedule will be incredibly difficult in season 7 and borderline impossible in season 8.... |

Yep  I would add: What will Sam find in Oldtown? What is Arya doing in the Riverlands? Where do Jaime and Brienne go at the end? Where is Bran going and what did he see that made him leave? What will be the cost of Jon's resurrection? Etc etc. |
