Interesting, because I expect the Season 5 homage to be to Season 3 of Heroes.

Ah, but is anything a touchstone in Season 4? Because as we all know, that's quite different from an homage. Quite!

If the entire conversation needs to be in spoiler tags it's a good hint you should just go over to the all-spoiler thread.

Do we have one of those? We have a book thread, a tv show with no book knowledge thread, which pretty much leaves this one for tv discussion with book knowledge?
Having a fourth thread would start to look insane.

Book thread.
There are a number of TV watchers who don't like that every now and then entire pages of this thread go under spoiler tags to talk about the books, because this is the thread that's for talking about the TV show. I read the books, but I sympathize with their viewpoint. We're on to speculating about stuff that hasn't even been acknowledged in the books yet; nobody who's just watching the show has any idea what the fuck you're talking about. You're using spoiler tags to hide your conversation from them, so you already know you're doing it wrong. Just go to the book thread. It's not a big deal but it's also not rocket science and and it will make other people's lives easier.

Of course, at this point the TV show seems like it is already starting to spoil in the other direction...

Where is the TV show with no book knowledge thread? I thought this was it.

I actually wish the non-book readers would pick that thread up again. I find it really interesting getting an unspoiled perspective on what people think of the show. Without having to navigate a dozen spoiler tags.

5th Season casting revealed at Comic Con. Looks like the Iron Islands subplot is not in the cards. Lots of Sand Snakes though.

Definitely strange though to see the girl from Mia and Me as a Sand Snake. Going to be a bit weird.

Arianne was annoying anyway, and this seems to show she was more of a narrative device than anyone significant.
I assume they don't want to introduce too many new plots in one season, so focus on Dorne season 5 (with the lead-in from Oberyn fresh) and cut the Iron Islands until S6? Hell maybe the Iron Islanders are going to be cut entirely from the show. Let's say hypothetically if Euron & Victarion never end up accomplishing anything by the end in asoif, GRRM just wanted to write a lot about westeroth vikings, but they just become dragon chow/fish fodder, why bother including them in the show at all? GGRM has thousands of pages to waste, but the show has limited airtime for non-essential characters, and limited budget for fancy ship battles.
