Isn't it harder to pull off with TV though. Everyone will know if Kitt Harrington is back for S6, whereas all Martin has to do is not release any TWOW Wall chapters and we have no idea what he's doing.

I think they might end with his resurrection or warging into Ghost. Be silly to try and end on that cliffhanger when there's no way they could keep Kit Harington still being on the show a secret during S6 filming.

lol The show is going to spoil both next season and the books a couple months after this season ends.

I can't believe they're seriously not doing Stoneheart. Just... what?

I still have hope, mostly because they could do what the books should have done, and reveal Stoneheart when Brienne meets her.

Most disappointing thing with all that is the whole Brienne and Jaime situation. Wonder what they're planning for them.
I think it would be a disaster. When I read the book I thought it was just facetious. A combination of hilarious and ridiculous, seemed solely done for shock's sake.
That's what I expect. Maybe he dies in episode 9.

I hope so. It would have been the best Season 4 finale, though.

Well that would be just like the book then, because no one believes Jon will stay dead.

In my dream scenario he dies and stays dead. I know this won't happen.

People would be mad if he does.

Well of course. It would make no narrative sense.

Great OT!
Doesn't this season have a tagline / promotional posters by the way? Last season they had the whole Valar Morghulis thing right?

I wonder if they cut Euron. Wouldn't be surprised if Victarion is gone, but that would suck. As of Season 4 the Iron Islanders are a complete joke. Especially when it comes to dogs.

They both seem to be gone. Dorne will have to suffice for the show's edginess quota.

There's so much untapped material that it really worries me where they're going. Maybe they'll be coming next season. Season 5 to focus on Dorne and 6 for everything else.
Or, ya know, Euron is already in the show daario etc
I haven't lost hope yet, lavarm will come.

They can't adapt everything, and the Iron Islands are just the obvious place to make cuts. I doubt they'll come next season, it wouldn't make much sense to do it then when they will closing in on the final stretches to finishing the series.
I still wonder when we're ever going to get back to Balon, or if we'll just never hear about him even after the show ends.
Apparently HBO told D&D Dorne or Iron Islands.
Dorne's the easy choice.
Though it does make you wonder WTF was with Asha's brief storyline last season.
I haven't been following this season's development because i don't think I'm watching the show anymore (at least not until maybe renting the blurays). They're starting to change too many big things for me. While I don't have a problem with adaptations doing their own thing in general, and think major changes are necessary to successfully adapt the book series, I've found most major changes and added scenes to be dog shit on the show and I'm assuming we'll be getting more of that original content as it deviates further from the book.
But I am curious as to what the word is on spoilers beyond book five for this season. Are there going to be major spoilers like significant character deaths, or just a couple minor things like what we got last season? Do we have any idea what to expect in this regard? Should i be avoiding discussion of the show with co-workers if i don't want to spoil major book 6 events?

A reminder to audiences that the Iron Islanders still exist.
Maybe season 6 will be mostly about the Greyjoys, and with little plot advancements on other fronts, buying George more time. *wishful thinking*
