Yeah, I dunno, and I'm too busy to check. The guy who got roasted by the dragon? Or maybe the guy who Dany executed and pissed off the whole city?

That's an illness, not a death. I doubt it's going to progress so fast that the season six premier will have people talking about how it's too bad Jorah died. He could also be sent off to live with the stone men. I don't know if that counts as death or not. Also, we know of at least one case where it was cured. Maybe Sam will end up curing it when he becomes a Maester. Who knows? If not, it gives Jorah the opportunity to heroically sacrifice himself. At some point this show has to let at least one person make a heroic sacrifice instead of just being butchered . . . right?perkana wrote:Jorah contracting greyscale.

Isn't Arya also dead? Or some sort of undead? A life can only be redeemed by another, and then we see her lying there?

I'm guessing Edd was just off in some other part of the castle, doing whatever people do there in their spare time.
I didn't mention Shireen because I was only listing people who died in the finale.
Jaqen H'ghar? OK, but he didn't really die because he didn't really exist. Apparently he's only a mask No One puts on, and anyone who becomes No One can become Jaqen H'ghar, as we saw right after Jaqen H'ghar #1 died and Jaqen H'ghar #2 appeared. So no one died, and No One died. Was it the same No One that was with Arya from the time she fled King's Landing? I don't know. I don't know if it matters, because by the time someone becomes No One, apparently they really are No One, with no identity other than that of a servant serving the Many Faced God. All of the No Ones seem to be interchangeable.perkana wrote:Oh yeah, you forgot one more person. He's dying for sure. It starts with a J

I didn’t say he had, said he was pretty much dying, in my opinion.Jasper wrote:Jorah didn't die this season. It didn't happen. There's no way in hell that we're not going to see Jorah next season, though maybe he could die next season. Hell, anybody could die at any time, except maybe Dany, but with Ned and Jon dead, anything could happen. I still can't believe Jon's permanently dead. Maybe he'll be reborn as another being in season 7 or something. It just seems really weird.
He saved her with the help of maesters and maybe witches. But greyscale turns you into those things we saw in Valyria. Hopefully someone will save Jorah from his doom (if he lets them, because now that he's back inside Dany's circle he might want to).Mescal wrote:Shireen also had greyscale?

Too bad her father killed her
I hope so too, Kit Karington said he won't be back next season. So that leaves a tiny bit of hope to me. And like intertwoven has said, he is kinda the ice of the song of fire and ice. Next season we'll have to know about what happened to Bran during the same time. So I'm really looking forward to this because next season will pass the books.Jasper wrote:I still can't believe Jon's permanently dead.

Game of Thrones could bring (SPOILER) back to life. Here's how

This post contains big spoilers for Game of Thrones, and this is the area of the post where I use many words to make sure none of those spoilers end up on the front page. This is a picture of a zookeeper recreating Chris Pratt's Raptor scene to keep you busy until the story begins.
Ready? Spoilers ahead.
OK, so Jon Snow is dead. And actor Kit Harington has been stating pretty openly that the character is going to stay dead.
But c'mon.
This video does a good job detailing why it's so likely the character will come back, and all the different ways the books and show have set up scenarios in which it could happen.
I thought so too.Mescal wrote:Was it a Khal?

http://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/201 ... ns-prequelOn Thursday, HBO programming president Michael Lombardo surprised Game of Thrones fans by announcing that the channel’s premiere series could very well extend to eight seasons, and possibly beyond.
“Seven-seasons-and-out has never been the [internal] conversation,” Lombardo told critics at the Television Critics Association’s press tour on Thursday, in spite of the fact that HBO has held firm to the seven seasons number with press. “The question is: how much beyond seven are we going to do? Obviously we’re shooting six now, hopefully discussing seven. [Showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss] feel like there’s two more years after six. I would always love for them to change their minds, but that’s what we’re looking at right now.”
Considering the success of the series, Lombardo said that he is also open to a prequel spin-off.
“I would be open to anything that Dan and David wanted to do,” Lomabardo told press, “about Game of Thrones or any subject matter. . .It really would depend fully on what they wanted to do. I think you’re right, there’s enormous storytelling to be mined in a prequel, if [author George R.R. Martin] and Dan and David decide they want to tackle that.”
I guess this could kinda sorta be considered mildly spoilery, so this is a kinda sorta spoiler alert for the article below:Jasper wrote:I'm very happy that Ian McShane (Al Swearengen) will have a small-but-important role in the next season of GoT. I don't know what it is, but it's confirmed that he's been cast.
http://www.pastemagazine.com/articles/2 ... n-six.html
Thrones fan site Watchers on the Wall reported on the show’s Season Six casting breakdown in May, which revealed some crucial information on the forthcoming season’s new characters. The casting calls include two crucial parts that both seem to fit with what little we know about McShane’s role: EW’s sources say that McShane has “a relatively small amount of screen-time during the season, yet his character is of key importance.”
So, Exhibit A:
Pirate, man in his 40’s to late 50’s. He’s “an infamous pirate who has terrorized seas all around the world. Cunning, ruthless, with a touch of madness.” He’s a dangerous-looking man. A very good part this season.
Readers of George R.R. Martin’s novels will easily recognize this pirate as Euron “Crow’s Eye” Greyjoy, the villainous uncle of Theon Greyjoy (Alfie Allen). Fans of McShane, especially his work on Deadwood, will easily recognize that the actor is a perfect fit for a “cunning, ruthless,” “dangerous-looking man.”
And Exhibit B:
Father. Aged 50’s to 60’s, he’s one of the greatest soldiers in Westeros—a humorless martinet, severe and intimidating. He demands martial discipline in the field and in his home. It’s described as “a very good part” for next year and that he’s “centrally involved” in a protagonist’s storyline.
This description also smacks of a character who, up until this point, has been all but a non-factor in the show, but is far more important in Martin’s novels: Randyll Tarly, the cruel, capable father of Samwell Tarly (John Bradley). Again, this role would make sense for McShane, who has a well-established ability to present as stern, “severe and intimidating.”
