Brienne of Tarth finally made her move in the Game of Thrones season finale, abandoning her post watching Winterfell. It was a big moment for Gwendoline Christie and the actress talks to The New York Times and Entertainment Weekly about Brienne’s actions in “Mother’s Mercy.”
Christie’s comments in the New York Times make the fate of Stannis absolutely clear, despite some viewers finding the scene’s ending ambiguous.

Casting Speculation Season 6: Euron Greyjoy
Probably the most exciting piece of news to come out of the casting leak is that Game of Thrones is hunting for someone to play the role of an infamous pirate this year. Though the parts are unnamed for security reasons, the description leaves little mystery in our minds- it’s a perfect description of Theon’s uncle Euron Greyjoy from the A Song of Ice and Fire novels. From our casting post:
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.
A source tells us the original casting breakdown also mentions the pirate has “huge charisma and power” which says Euron for sure to us, as opposed to other pirates from the novels such as Euron’s brother Victarion.
With that in mind, we’re going to focus on Euron for our casting speculation post this week.
