HBO: Game of Thrones

Bran Stark and Hodor are taking a holiday. Their storyline has caught up with the books, so that crew beyond the Wall will apparently not be featured in Season 5.

I am not thrilled as Bran is one of my favorites, but I'm also not surprised given the situation with the books. And that'll just make that crew's return that much bigger, I think. I can cope.

ETA: This news is only from an offhand quote from Nairn in an article about his DJ tour, so there is apparently some possibility that only Nairn and Ellie Kendrick (Meera) won't be featured, as some at Vulture have speculated. But for now I'm just going off the quote itself, which may be subject to change. Stay tuned.

Ugh. I guess some of the people who insist Bran is boring and pointless will be happy. Bran was always one of my favorites.

This year seems like it will have so many changes, and after the way they handled some of the King's Landing and Arya material this season, I'm not sure how much I am interested in any of that.

I guess I will mostly just hope they get the Theon, Stannis/Mel/Davos, Jon, Sansa stuff right, as that's the main reason I'm still watching.

I've watched all the Teen and YoutTuber react videos (and NOT the elders and kids, LoL). The latest one almost gave me a twitch. I'm only 25 and it made me feel ancient. I only had NES in my house until I was, at least, 11 or 12, when I got a PlayStation. I always envied those who had an SNES, though. So good.

GOT cast and ex-cast continue staying busy in the off-season - Charles Dance is in Dracula Untold, as the zombified Emperor Caligula, who apparently sires Dracula. Yeah, I don't get it either. Also surprisingly featured is Art Parkinson (Rickon Stark), as Dracula's son and the apparent narrator of the trailer.

Meanwhile, Rose Leslie (Ygritte) is some sort of demonically-troubled bride in Honeymoon.

Loras is back on the job in Dubrovnik/King's Landing. Also, Winterfell rises again.

Sophie Turner is modeling. Also, discussing GOT and her new horror flick, Another Me, with Vulture at the link. Re: Season 4's developments with Sansa:

I'm not sure if I linked the Another Me trailer, so voila.

And yes, somehow there is more Isaac Hempstead-Wright as he continues the endless Boxtrolls press tour and demonstrates warging and the whole eyes thing for Screen Junkies, which he apparently learned from pro wrestling.

I wonder if he will still have to wear the wig as Bran.

I don't know how I feel about too much focus on Sansa's "dark side," as I tend to see this as just her trying to survive, but I am interested in where it goes.

So it looks like Loras will have more to do this season. Finn Jones always goes to cons (I know actors do that for money but I still think it's nice for fans), so I wonder if he'll give anything away.

I'll be happy to see the weirwood trees again.

Alfie Allen has moved back to the UK to do theater and to be around his family (I hadn't been aware he'd been living in LA in the first place...). He's made some movies - Plastic (a caper movie with Emma Rigby, Ed Speelers, etc.) and some Keanu Reeves movie called John Wick where Reeves is an ex-gangster who wants vengeance on Alfie for killing his dog.

Not my type of stuff, but I hope it leads to more work for him.

Prince of Sunspear, I owe you my most sincere apologies. I read some of your posts earlier in this thread that expressed frustration because GRRM has not finished writing these books, and my instinctive reaction was along the lines of "Geez, back off. He's written a gazillion pages already. You can't rush the creative process! He'll finish it eventually."

Then I read the books.

I just finished A Dance With Dragons. I have watched all 4 seasons of the show. I have this enormous void now that can only be filled with new episodes and new books, and I absolutely understand your frustration now. So, I am very sorry for being less than sympathetic before. I know that odds are he's going to just kill everyone and be done with it, but even so, I really, really want to read it all. Now. ph34r.png And barring that, I'd really like to watch the next season already.

    • It really is ridiculous how happy episodes from 40 years ago make me. God, MKA is so young!
    • Holy sh.it. THAT was a damn soap opera. I’m at a loss for words for how good that was.
    • A private elevator penthouse with a spiral staircase to the primary suite.  Sign me up! The only deficit was that various riff-raffs seemed to have easy access to the elevator.

    • Same here.  Anyone who voluntarily left Margo's penthouse set (except to go overseas or to Heaven) was immediately on my blacklist.  lol.

    • The penthouse was my favorite set... and it changed hands from Margo to Draper/April to Miles/Nicole then to just Miles... before he opted to give that beautiful place for that drab house with the even more drab Beth.  That was a jump the shark moment for me LOL
    • The storyline April and Draper are involved in during the summer/autumn of 1979 seems fairly "benign" but soon turns very serious.  April has a VERY intrusive, wealthy mother (Margo Huntington Dorn).  Margo knows that April and Draper (who've recently had a miscarriage and are theoretically never going to be able to conceive another baby) want to buy a house.  Margo hoodwinks them into buying a house they can't afford.  The house is listed at $100,000 (about $400,000 in today's dollars).  Margo pays the first $35,000 and leads Draper to believe the asking price of the house is $65,000 instead of $100,000.  If Draper finds out his meddling mother-in-law paid 1/3 of the cost of the home and tricked him, he'll be mad as hell.   Meanwhile, Draper has received a job offer from a prestigious New York law firm.  Margo pulls some strings and has the senior partner in the firm rescind the offer, to keep April in Monticello.  If Draper finds out about THAT, he'll be even angrier with Margo than he will be about the house trickery.  All of that is "bubbling under the surface" in the fall of 1979 but will be the next major story, as everything begins to spiral out of control.   Yep, you've got the Karrs and their very basic middle-class house, the Victorian-themed place where Miles and Nicole live, April and Draper's old craftsman house with the exposed beams, the Madisons & their Mission revival house, and Margo with her 1970s-chic penthouse.  Each of the sets is completely different.  And their budget was like zero, lol.  
    • It felt weird and out of place.  I get it. While I agree with those on here that say he's gotten better, it's still really bad. I'm not seeing the "good" acting some see...but I'll give him a B for being better than when he first started. There's potential. I'll leave it at that. 
    • It's like watching paint dry at a slow-ass pace. It's bad acting. Entirely. Excellent? With Claybon? Never. Ever.
