Stoneheart Not Coming To "Game of Thrones"?

 

The interviewer said he had heard third-hand that Fairley was told she wouldn't be coming back. Fairley replied: "Yeah, the character?s dead. She?s dead".

 

Asked if she thought Catelyn's arc should stay closed or if she'd be into the resurrection idea, she says: "You respect the writers' decision. I knew the arc, and that was it. They can't stick to the books 100 percent. It's impossible - they only have 10 hours per season. They have got to keep it dramatic and exciting, and extraneous stuff along the way gets lost in order to maintain the quality of brilliant show."

^ Thats not a denial. Its 100% true. 

 

From what I have heard the series is going in a slightly different direction. Especially that they're killing more characters on the show than they do in the books.

 

Not really. All the major events are the same. The reason for the extra character deaths is simple: money.

Is Fan-Fave Character 'Jaqen H?ghar' Returning For Season 5?

 

HBO's small screen adaptation of George R.R. Martin's "Song Of Ice And Fire" saga may be gearing up for another pretty big change from the source material when the show returns next year for its fifth season. According to the German agency (via Spoiler TV) of Tom Wlaschiha, "the actor is shooting a 2014 episode of the crime solving series Tatort entitled, ?Borowski und die armen Kinder von Gaarden, ? and after that, in August, he?ll begin filming on Game of Thrones. The agency notes that Tom is in the main cast."

Was pretty obvious when Arya sailed away that this would happen.

Man, these rumors are horrible. By how someone got on a ship at the end of the fourth season, it really amazes me that him appearing in the fifth season is somehow surprising to anyone.

Faceless Men do not use the same face twice. And he changed faces the last time we saw him.

 

So him re-appearing would be a shock.

Dont, I regret it, now I know what will happen :(

Only generally. There are so many differences, it's still worth reading the books. Plus it gives you more details. I knew the deaths etc from Storm of Swords, but a lot of the details are unique. The hound's ending on the show was much better IMO. Arya just left him with a festering wound in the books. By the same token, I preferred the assault on Castle Black and the Wall in the books.

I've already started reading Feast for Crows. Seems good so far.

Aeron Greyjoy, the prophet, is an interesting character as is the Drowned God vs the Storm god. I'm also enjoying getting to know Dorne better.

The U.S. ambassador to Spain and former Vice President of HBO, James Costos, has confirmed that scenes for Game of Thrones Season 5 will be shot in Spain.

To be exact, The Alc?zar of Seville will serve as the Water Gardens of Dorne, where the late Prince Oberyn Martell's older brother, Prince Doran, spends his time. It is also likely that the country will host the filming of scenes in Sunspear, the seat of House Martell.

Tania Raymonde & Nell Tiger Free Up For Roles In GAME OF THRONES Season 5

We've already heard that Whale Rider's Keisha Castle-Hughes might be up for the role of Nymeria Sand, and now in their "What We Know So Far" report on Game Of Thrones season 5, Vulture name a couple of actresses that have been rumored for roles that seem to have flown under our radar. The first is Tania Raymonde (Lost, Texas Chainsaw), who has reportedly (her audition vid has since been removed) read for Obara Sand; and possibly replacing young Aimee Richardson as Myrcella Baratheon/Lannister is 15-year-old tv actress Nell Tiger Free. Remember none of this is official yet, and even if they've read for roles it doesn't mean they'll nab them. But some announcements are expected at Comic Con, so maybe we'll find out more then.

    • Are they marketed as an entry into astronomy or astrophotography? I do astrophotography. With big rigs, lots of computers, cables and headaches. I love it. And by learning this ridiculously complex hobby, I’ve learned about the objects I’m shooting. Astronomy followed from photography.
    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows by Usama Jawad A couple of days ago, we reported that the latest Patch Tuesday update has seemingly resulted in a lot of issues for many users, including OneDrive and Dropbox access problems, BitLocker recovery lockouts, and BSODs. Although Microsoft is yet to acknowledge these bugs, it has confirmed another, relatively smaller issue across all supported versions of Windows. In an update on its Windows Release Health Dashboard, Microsoft has confirmed that after installing June's Patch Tuesday update (KB5094126), you'll experience unexpected behavior when leveraging Recycle Bin. Basically, when you attempt to delete an item from the Recycle Bin, the confirm dialog will show you the internal file name of that content rather than the actual name. For example, the file may be named abc.png, but the confirm dialog will ask if you're sure that you want to permanently delete $Rxxxxx.png from the Recycle Bin. This is pretty much it for the scope of the bug itself; it just displays the wrong name in the confirm dialog. The correct name will be shown in the list view of the Recycle Bin and if you restore the file, it will return with the correct name as well. This issue affects pretty much all supported versions of Windows client and server, including: Client: Windows 11, version 26H1; Windows 11, version 25H2; Windows 11, version 24H2; Windows 11, version 23H2; Windows 10, version 22H2; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB 2016 Server: Windows Server 2025; Windows Server 2022; Windows Server 2019; Windows Server 2016; Windows Server 2012 R2; Windows Server 2012 As things currently stand, Microsoft is working on a concrete solution that will be released in a "future" Windows update. It remains to be seen if the firm will wait till the next Patch Tuesday or roll out an out-of-band (OOB) fix. The good news is that commercial customers can deploy a workaround right now, but they will have to reach out to Microsoft Support for Business for additional details.
    • They said by this time everyone will have flying cars. WELL...
    • A study by physicist Henry Tye of Cornell University suggests that the universe may not expand forever. Instead, it could eventually stop expanding, begin contracting and end in a "Big Crunch" roughly 20 billion years from now. Maybe not as we now know that time can flow backwards.
    • Of course. Simply reverse the polarity.
