Game of Thrones is bringing in plenty of new players on for season five.
 
Fans still mourning the late Prince Oberyn (Pedro Pascal), take comfort: Plenty of his family will be popping up in the new season, and they all seem to love weapons as much as he did.
The HBO show revealed the new castmembers at Comic-Con on Friday, where fans were treated to a sizzle reel teasing the upcoming season, currently in production overseas. (Read our full recap of the panel here.)
Here's a breakdown of the cast:
 
Alexander Siddig will play Doran Martell, the ruling lord of Dorne and the older brother to Oberyn. He's described as even-tempered, but his subjects are waiting to see if that'll remain true after his brother's brutal death. Siddig is best known for playing Dr. Bashir on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. (Let geeks rejoice.)
 
Toby Sebastian will play Trystane Martell, Doran's son and heir to Dorne. He's also one of the reasons Cersei and Jaime's daughter Myrcella was shipped off to Dorne years ago. He is her betrothed.
 
Speaking of Myrcella ?
Nell Tiger Free will play the young Baratheon (or should we say Lannister?), who hasn't been seen onscreen since season two, when she was played by Aimee Richardson. Things aren't exactly going well for Myrcella in Dorne. Thanks to the death of Oberyn, her position is tenuous.
 
DeObia Oparei is taking on the role of Areo Hotah, a trusted captain in Doran Martell?s palace guard. We hear he's good with a longaxe. Oparei previously appeared as Gunner in Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides.
 
No, not all of the casting is for Dorne.
 
We've also got Enzo Cilenti as Yezzan, who was a wealthy slaver before Daenerys outlawed the trade.
 
Back in Dorne, Jessica Henwick will play Nymeria (?Nym?) Sand, the second-eldest bastard daughter of the late Oberyn. Her mother was an Eastern noblewoman and raised Nym to be cultured. While Nym's father liked spears, she prefers the whip.
 
Rosabell Laurenti Sellers will play Tyene Sand, another daughter of Oberyn. Her mother is Ellaria Sand, his paramour whom Oberyn brought to King's Landing in season four. This family all really like weapons ? and her favorites are twin daggers.
 
There's also Keisha Castle-Hughes as Obara Sand, the eldest bastard daughter of Oberyn. She's a fierce warrior whose mother was a Dornish peasant girl.
 
And in King's Landing, Jonathan Pryce will play the High Sparrow. He's described as devout and pious. He travels to the capital to serve the poor and downtrodden, and quickly amasses a big following. Seems like the type of thing Cersei would not approve of.

The way that "Arya" (don't know her name and too lazy to find out) dresses, the piercing and her humor in general (noticed too many stupid videos like this on reddit: https://vine.co/v/b3XZMHmxzxh ) make me think that she'll get a tattoo as soon as possible (you have to be 18 in US for that?) and die of a drug overdose in her early thirties.

1) Thats not very nice. 

2) Her name is Maisie Williams.

3) She's British.

4) You can get tattoos with parents permission whenever you want in the US.

5) Tattoos lead directly to drugs? Thanks for pointing that out to everyone. Ever heard of straight edge? (Not saying that Maisie Williams is, but there are plenty of people who will get tattoos and not touch drugs.

Checked and you're partially right. In some states in US you can get a tattoo if you're under 18: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legal_status_of_tattooing_in_the_United_States

And where did I say, or event hinted towards that tattoos lead directly to drugs :huh: ? I only commented on her behavior, that in my opinion will result in her doing stupid stuff (you can quote me on saying that getting a tattoo at 18 is a stupid decision) later in her adult life.

?Game of Thrones? Actor J.J. Murphy Dies Four Days into Filming Season 5

 

?Game of Thrones? actor J.J. Murphy has died four days after shooting his first scenes for season five of the HBO series. He was 86.

 

The Northern Ireland native collapsed and died on Friday, Aug. 8, according to the Belfast Telegraph. Murphy was cast as Ser Denys Mallister, the oldest member of the Night?s Watch and commander of the Shadow Tower, and was reportedly due to film further scenes in the coming weeks.

 

?Game of Thrones? producers D.B. Weiss and David Benioff released the following statement in regards to Murphy?s passing: ?We will not be recasting J.J. Murphy. He was a lovely man, and the best Denys Mallister we could have hoped for. And now his watch is ended.?  :cry:

The Mountain from Game of Thrones is Europe's Strongest Man

According to News of Iceland, Bj?rnsson screamed: "I am the future of strength, I am the king of the stones," as he triumphed in the competition's Atlas stone event.

Some commotion on set...

 

The Game Of Thrones production team have reportedly been prohibited from shooting a crucial topless scene at its planned location in Croatian capital Dubrovnik.

 

Filming is currently well underway for the forthcoming fifth series of the hit HBO show, but a scene that required central character Cersei Lannister, played by Lena Headey, to leave a church walk through the streets of King?s Landing in the nude has been rejected by the city?s Church of St. Nicholas.

 

Billed as Cersei?s ?walk of penance,? the sequence was to be filmed in the Stradun street between Dubrovnik Cathedral and the Sponza Palace.

 

UPDATE: At the HBO Emmy party Monday night, producers told me that a new location for the sequence (which isn?t shooting for at least another month) has been secured.

    • I agree with what I think you are saying, just not in the way you are saying it. Like any tool, the amount it represents your work is perorational to the effort you put into it. It is similar to why 2nd grade math students learning to add and subtract are not allowed to use calculators, but a high-school calculous student is. For the 2nd grader, that tool would completely replace the work they are doing, for the calculous student the same tool allows them to work far more effectively while in no way replacing their effort or knowable. If you spend 30 seconds writing a prompt, then the image that comes out is no more "yours" than if you found the same image with a Google Image search. However, many of these generative tools also support highly iterative processes that allow back and forth, and merging generated images with photos or human created images. I am sure you would agree that a human spending hours of time working on a project, even if AI was involved in the process, still reflects that human's work.
    • Windows 11 version 26H2 is now available for testing in the latest preview build by Taras Buria Friday Windows 11 preview builds are here.

You can find the official changelog for the Experimental build here and for the Beta build here.
    • I've always preferred this possibility. There is something that feels good about the idea that all matter in the universe will eventually come back together and maybe even result in another big bang. The idea that the universe would fizzle out over the eons and forever drift apart is a little depressing. I realize it is not logical to let a basic human desire for life to have a grand everlasting meaning change the way I feel about a scientific theory, but I am human, so that is how I feel :-).
    • Windoze 11 could finally go to hell, instead of making me savor yet another error I've never had. "Bad Pool Caller" or whatever TF cryptic crap0la message it is. Adding salt to injury, it says something along these lines (on the blank black screen after it hard stops): "Your windoze needs to restart. You can restart." NO WAY SHERLOCK. The PEECEE, look, it's *blocked*, I can do jack sh1t with it as it is and you say that it needs to restart? Further, that I can restart? What am I supposed to do, take a herbal bath? Sudo a sandwich? Timewaster pile of useless slop and errors, coded by monkeys and force-fed on us by a pedo-founded corporation, that's all there is to it. Now, let's have a fun weekend trying to handle the error, which after a quick internet check can basically be due to EVERYTHING, from memory faults to drivers to motherboard issues. Thanks M$.

Zen Browser prioritizes user control over the browsing experience, offering a minimal yet powerful alternative to traditional web browsers while keeping your online activity private.
