GRRM said not to listen to anybody but him in regards to the Winds of Winter. Granted, that was his publisher, but I'll still wait for word (or no word) from him. Chances are it's not going to be published this year but I'm sure if somehow he surprises everyone and finishes they'll bend over backwards to get it out as…

My guess is he'll be sent to bring Myrcella back to Kings Landing. Bronn will go with because the actor who plays Illyn Paine is dead. While I love the books I don't much care that the show deviates. Two different things entirely, both pretty awesome in their own way.

While Walken has little experience as an actual captain, he did once help Robert Wagner toss Natalie Wood off a yacht to her demise, so pirate should come easy to him.

Ghost Tywin sounds all fine and good but if he becomes the next Harry Morgan preaching about the code I'll be very upset.

You taste like a burger. I don't like you anymore.

Rolling Stones - She Was Hot. Love the song, but at the end Mick was just rhyming for the sake of rhyming - Down the avenue / into the lost bayou / Into the tall bamboo / back to the human zoo

If you think THAT's going to be hot, just wait till she starts making out with Taena Merryweather!

I'm guessing they're going to announce more cast additions in the next few months. While I'm sure nobody will miss Quentyn, I'd love to see Euron on screen. Also hoping to hear "Ian McShane to play Randall Tarly" but that probably won't happen.

I admire his spirit. Now get back to writing, preferably the part where Davos trades a ham sandwich to the Skagosi for Rickon and a bottle of Mad Dog.

Portent of things to come: Sitting next to the Blackfish at the wedding was a Manderly, which will come to play in Dance With Dragons. You can tell by his pin, or as Loras would say, his broach.
