Some Season 5 news...

SL6sF2X.png

Kristen Nairn confirms he won't be in Season 5

Fans around the world are hungry for the next series of Game of Thrones, but they will have to be patient*.*

"We have a season off and we have a year's hiatus, solely because I imagine our storyline is up to the end of the books," he said.

"So, I get my year off now to do Rave of Thrones and gallivant all over the world."

I haven't read the books and don't plan to, for now, but am aware of their relation with the series.

 

The series producers have mentioned that they're looking for 7-8 seasons in total, but how could they do that if the last two books aren't even out yet?

 

Can GRRM really release two books in 3-4 years from now?

If not, does it mean the series will end the story without them?

For book readers; apparently book three was done in two seasons, instead of the usual one book per season. How do you reckon books four and five will be done?

 

Please do not spoil anything.

They know the story outline and where each character's story-arc is going. They don't have details or dialogues most likely, but they've gradually been changing those anyway.

 

Can GRRM really release two books in 3-4 years from now?

Doubtful.

 

EDIT: On top of that, if they plan on finishing in 7 seasons, that means they start writing the final scripts in early 2016. So it would basically mean he'd need to have book 6 done next year, and book 7 done the year after that.

 

If not, does it mean the series will end the story without them?

Most likely.

They'll trim the fat and combine them into one season. This is basically confirmed at this point, the only thing no one knows is how much they plan to cut and if they plan to remove some stuff altogether or move some of it to season 6.

 

Please do not spoil anything.

They've already added some book 5 stuff in.  All that happened to Bran happens in book 5.  Book 4 and book 5 are simultaneous storylines happening in different places.  They do have a lot of Dorne stuff to catch up on though and a lot happens to Tyrion and Arya and Sam and Jon Snow plus a few new characters that has to be covered.  I would figure with as few eps per season as they have that they could make the rest of books 4 and 5 that they haven't already covered into two seasons.

I upgraded to a cable package that included hbo and binge watched all four seasons of this in about a month. I don't think the killing of favorite characters is quite so impactful when you don't have as much time to connect with them :P but its an excellent series. I'll like read the books when I'm finished with a few others I'm reading.

Game of Thrones Cast Renews Contracts Through Season 7

Although "Game of Thrones" was renewed in April through season 6, HBO decided to hedge their bets by adding the option, which does not guarantee a seventh season will be greenlit but will still allow for huge raises for seasons 5 and 6. Said raises were doled out on a tier system, with the "A" tier of Kit Harington (Jon Snow), Peter Dinklage (Tyrion Lannister), Lena Headey (Cersei Lannister), Emilia Clarke (Daenerys Targaryen) and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Jaime Lannister) receiving the biggest uptick.

The not-so-tactfully named "B" tier includes co-stars Natalie Dormer (Margaery Tyrell), Sophie Turner (Sansa Stark), Maisie Williams (Arya Stark) will not earn as much as the big guns in "A" tier but will still score raises higher than a third tier of regular actors who will receive much smaller pay increases.

    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones

      By zikalify · Posted

      Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones by Paul Hill Waymo, the self-driving car maker owned by Alphabet – the parent company of Google –, has recalled some of its fifth-generation Automated Driving Systems (ADS). It did so after some of its cars drove through closed construction zones. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the affected vehicles were capable of driving through a closed freeway construction zone and continuing to drive at speed. The listing on the NHTSA website says that Waymo is currently developing a solution to fix this issue, but in the meantime, freeway driving is being restricted. Waymo will update its ADS software so that vehicles can detect when they can avoid entering construction zones. According to the Safety Recall Report, on April 20, 2026, Waymo’s Field Safety Committee began meetings reviewing an event from April 11, 2026, and five events from April 19, 2026, where Waymo’s autonomous vehicles didn’t recognize and drove past ramp closure signs into the pre-planned freeway construction zones. This took place in Phoenix, Arizona. Separately, on May 18, 2026, seven Waymo vehicles entered freeway lanes with active construction in the San Francisco Bay Area by driving between cones that were placed to show the lane was closed. On the back of both of these events, Waymo restricted freeway driving until it could address the issue. In June, Waymo’s Safety Board reviewed the issue and additional information related to ADS performances around construction zones; then, as a result, it decided to conduct a recall. This development is not good for Waymo as it adds to a growing list of technical hiccups its cars have experienced. Ultimately, it will lead to more scrutiny from lawmakers around the world who will be more cautious about letting autonomous vehicles on their roads without tighter regulation. For readers in areas where Waymo operates, does this news make you more wary about stepping into one of these vehicles?
