If the producers are to be believed, there are only two more seasons to go.

So not only has that plot been dropped, so has the Golden Company plot and the Dornish mission to Dany plot, unless they intend to fit that into the next season.  They're casting for Euron Greyjoy, so they intend to do at the very least the Iron Islands plot on top of the entire sixth book plot in a single season.  That then leaves them a single season to wrap up the seventh book with a possible film length feature ending.

Needless to say, I'm sceptical they can pull this off.

On the plus side, GRR Martin says The Winds of Winter will be releasted before season six.

The rumour mill is that they are looking to do a season thats mostly Iron Islands stuff which could actually bring it up to 3 more seasons, which would give grrm another year but I think thats up to hbo.

A season for the Iron Islands, Golden Company and Brotherhood Without Banners would be nice.

I'm also not convinced they'll be able to pull off a film ending....unless they want some horrible Age of Ultron style mishmash cast of hundreds or literally just make it a three hour long battle scene with occasional talking, like Return of the King.

At this point I just want to see the dwarf get laid and the dragons fuck shit up. I learned in the first book that you can't get attached to these characters.

I'm just sad they dropped the entire Lady Stoneheart sub plot.

I think they are going to do that with Jon Snow and don't want 2 similar characters running around.

From what he was saying in an interview in this, they're not bringing him back... He's just gone.

That makes very little sense, in that they would have massively different motivations.  I mean, sure, you don't want two ressurected people running around, but you can't just swap their stories.

I dont think they are swapping stories. Just ending up as the same sort of creature.

I didn't think you were lying.

Did you also believe JJ Abrams when he said Khan wasn't going to be in the last Star Trek movie? Or did you believe Christopher Nolan when he said Talia al Ghul wasn't in The Dark Knight Rises?

This is what they do.

If I'm wrong, I'll eat a medium sized hat.

One of the ways which know-nothing Jon Snow can come back does involve hijacking someone else's body.

So the actor isn't necessarily required for the part.

That's also quite true. It would be interesting to see Thorne next year try to pull off that doe-eyed expression.

I got one for my top 10, what's up with XX3 (re: Placid Dingos awesome derive' project)?

Recently landed on the front page and read about some of the Cabals worldwide, then was thinking about how I may be attending a summit at the Vatican next month...  Anyway, the shadow of a spark flitted across my gangled noodle, that there may be a connection?

Anyone got the scoop?

On the plus side, GRR Martin says The Winds of Winter will be releasted before season six.
