"Watchers on the Wall reports a major new story arc for the show will see Euron Greyjoy become a powerful new ally for Cersei Lannister in the next season. Recent filming scenes involved a major sea battle involving the Greyjoy siblings and their uncle, with Euron ultimately capturing one of the two for Cersei. On top of all that, Euron is apparently going to be responsible for taking out "at least" one of the Sand Snakes in the next season. Busy times for the Greyjoys! Meanwhile, here's two new interviews from the Emmys red carpet with Sophie Turner and Emilia Clarke, briefly discussing the new season…" From here. link So, Kalheese Fleet was a fake?

Not particularly surprising since Euron had his planned alliance stolen from him and Cersei is pretty much it now if he wants to forge an alliance with anybody rather than waiting for the eventual winner to come calling. |

I have heard the rumors of a Euron/Cersei alliance and while they make sense I am doubtful of the rest. GoT is notorious for misdirection, planting fake plot lines and for being very good at keeping their plot lines secret. That's a lot of very detailed info and it is way out of character for GoT to let that much story with that much detail get out. BTW the cast generally knows so little about what is happening that Sophie Tucker (Sansa) wrote Kit Harrington (Jon Snow) a heartfelt letter after season 5 because she was sure that they had shot their last show together (even though they had no scenes together they evidently often shot in close proximity to one another) and Emilia Clarke (Dany) brought him a going away present to the wrap party. Harrington had been instructed to tell everyone that yes, he was really dead. Charles Dance (Tywin) let it slip that Tywin would be making appearances, possibly flashback sequences. Of course those never happened. And remember how happy everyone was that Ian McShane as joining the cast? I don't think that anyone thought that he would die in the same episode he debuted in. |

It's way past Book canon by now, so I have no comment. Jaime won't like it. |

It's way past Book canon by now, so I have no comment. Jaime won't like it We have, based on who you talk to, between 13 and 15 episodes left. A lot of folks online say that there will only be 7 episodes this season. That's not a lot of time to have Dany land, have a fight between her forces and the Lannisters (with or without Greyjoys) then you have Littlefinger and Sansa to contend with and the whole war with the undead. That's a lot to pack in. But at least the show has folks moving in the right direction, the books still have folks moving away. The sample chapters that GRRM has released still have ++++++++++++SPOILER ALERT+++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Euron and Victarion sailing East. And all the Sansa/Alayne stuff and Fake Aegon and Tyrion and Penny. The series will, no matter how many episodes are left, be over in 2018. That still might be before GRRM publishes Book 6. I think that about all that is similar these days between the series and the books are the place names and most of the character names. It's as though you are watching the movie "Excalibur" and reading "Once and Future King", there are similarities between the two but they are actually quite different stories.
But in the good news bad news department, one of my fears, that GRRM would simply start to write a novelized version of the show's plotline and call it done doesn't seem to be happening. That's also the bad news, in some ways it seems as though he has chosen to deviate from the show's path just for deviation's sake and of course that puts a release date further back. And also in the same category is the fact that HBO is supposedly in negotiations for at least one GoT's spin off. Good news, we get more GoT , bad news GRRM may get sidetracked into writing some of it and that probably means no Book 7 until well after 2020. Now some speculate that the spin-off would be based on Dunc and Egg (which I haven't read), others that it would be the run up to and maybe history of Robert's Rebellion. Either way the only thing that we know for sure (or as sure as anything gets in Hollywood) is that it won't have D&D showrunning it. |
