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. It could be, but me thinks Brienne is being saved for the big showdown with the Others(WalkersWhiteNightKing guys) in WoW or Dream of Spring ? Not sure she will survive that but I would be disappointing if that's not the case. |

Even if it takes 5 months, she'd still be finished by September which isn't even halfway through the usual shooting period for thrones. |

As I said, she can certainly still be available but it's not often that GoT lets its actors take other projects that interfere with the start of filming in July. The actors take other projects (movies etc) but as far as I know, they always film outside of Thrones production schedule so not to interfere with however they need to shoot the show. The main cast (which Christie is part of) especially, would have that written into their contracts. The Thrones shooting schedule is very complicated and meticulously planned, they don't usually allow for actors to just show up a month or two late because a lot of the on location stuff depends on weather, set availability etc.
Could they make an exception for Christie? Anything's possible but it wouldn't be normal which is all I'm saying. This isn't a movie project like Star Wars/Hunger Games etc. That's a normal outside project. A leading role on another TV series which requires a much longer shooting schedule and commitment and rolls through the start of GoT production is very abnormal, which is all I'm saying.
It's possible she could do both but it's very strange and unusual that this is being announced now and should be looked at with the proper amount of scrutiny.

I'm fairly sure Brienne will die this season anyway, in whatever closure we'll get to Riverlands arc. Maybe Red Wedding, but with the Freys as victims.

I agree, her death seems to be the most reasonable at this point. She avenged Renley last season, she'll presumably get Sansa to safety. I still think she will meet up with Jaime in the show though before meeting her end. I'm done trying to figure out how if any of this will integrate in the books. Uncharted territory. |

Didn't Stephen Dillane film another series (The Tunnel) while going GoT though? I'm not ready to count Brienne out yet. I think anyone with a Valyrian steel sword would stick around for the battle of the Others.
And I love Brienne and don't want to lose her.

GRRM is going to have to kill a ton of secondary characters off in WoW. There's just too many right now. I expect the final book to focus on our main POV'S that have been around since the beginning. |

Any and everyone who can get a V-steel weapon will be needed. |

Yeah I don't think Gwen doing this new tv series means much. Unlike Finn/Loras (who I believe is 100% toast bc of that new Netflix show he's doing)..Gwen/Brienne is a major character and is tied too intricately with the Starks and Jaime to die yet.
I don't think she'll fight in the Battle of Others (don't know why but just can't see that happening) but I do think she will stick around for a little bit.

I've been thinking about how season 6 seems to be continuing the strong parallels between Jon and Dany.
Season 1: Jon and Dany start as children in a somewhat hostile home. They leave those homes and find their new homes to be worse, but then they adapt, become adults, renounce their old families to join their new ones.
Season 2: Jon and Dany have lost their new families and are wandering around in the wilderness. Jon doesn't have a parallel to Dany sacking Qarth or the visions, though.
Season 3: Jon and Dany get sorta father-figures in Mance and Barristan. Jon integrates himself with the Wildlings and Dany integrates herself with the Unsullied and freed slaves. But admittedly, there is divergence because of the love story with Ygritte, which doesn't have a parallel in Dany's story yet. Dany saves Missandei and gains a loyal friend, which parallels Jon saving Sam back in season 1 and gaining a loyal friend.
Season 4: Divergence because Dany is in charge of her people, while Jon is merely taking a leadership role within his people and doing side-missions. But Jon and Dany are both committed to a bigger mission than the Iron Throne - Jon is trying to defend the Wall and Dany is trying to end slavery. Dany chains her dragons and exiles Jorah, which parallel Jon's betrayal of and loss of Ygritte.
Season 5: Jon and Dany are both in leadership. Both order their first executions. Both feel isolated. Mance and Barristan die. Jon and Dany struggle to deal with politics. Jon makes an alliance with Stannis, Dany makes an alliance with Hizdahr. Stannis and Hizdahr both die. Jon and Dany both face rebellion and lose their position of power.
Season 6: Jon and Dany are both back out in the wilderness but presumably claw their way back to a position of even greater power. Jon has a defeated king's Hand in Davos, as well as a Red Priestess. Dany has a defeated king's Hand in Tyrion, as well as her own Red Priestess. The Wildlings and the Unsullied may continue to parallel, or maybe this time the Wildlings parallel the Dothraki. Jon becomes overtly magical and Dany becomes a dragon rider.
I know there are some stretches here, and there aren't always parallels for everything - Jon doesn't have a Dario parallel, and sometimes the parallels aren't in the same season, but I think the show has been persistent in drawing strong parallels between Jon and Dany. I also think this is something that the show is pushing harder than the books - many of the show inventions in both Jon and Dany's storylines make their parallels stronger, such as the Barristan / Mance deaths in early season 5 and the Hizdahr / Stannis deaths in late season 5, Dany's execution of the one slave. But I do think it is going to be meaningful that Jon and Dany both will have Hands and priestesses in season 6, and I'm super curious what that will lead to.

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. 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. Last season with Carice could be a different thing from last season with Mel. Since Mel is probably wearing a glamour, there might be a reason to recast her in the endgame. Losing Carice would really be a shame, but some weird stuff is probably going to happen as magical elements of the story take over more, and Mel changing her face could be part of the weird stuff. As for Brienne, her death this season seems plausible to me. |

New article: www.ew.com/article/2016/03/22/game-thrones-season-6-battleHighlight quote: The upcoming sequence, however, is more like a classic campaign that you typically only see in major films: Hundreds of human soldiers on one side of a field, another army on the other side, and then there is a clash that is highly tactical, yet character-driven, and shown from start to finish – a “proper battle,” as Cogman put it. |
