  1. I totally forgot the premiere was today! Exciting stuff, looking forward to all the tentative cast interviews on the red carpet ha! Saw a pic earlier of the Iron Throne being lowered near the Tower of London.

  2. Tyrion Pimpslap:
    Michael McElhatton(Roose) teased that there isa wedding in his storyline.

    DUN DUN DUNNNNNN.

    I guess that rules out

    Trystane/Myrcella

    , for the third wedding, though. The show must be doing the

    Ramsay/Farya

    story in some way.

  3. I’ve been watching the live stream for half an hour… The only person they’ve spoken to so far is Michael McElhatton.

  4. From the interview with Dean-Charles I conclude that

    Tommen will certainly not die this season
  5. Dutch maester,

    So wait.

    I guess that doesn’t completely contradict Patchface (I think) who said he was a goner. I guess one man’s ambiguity is another’s death. All you would see is Varys or a Sand Snake or Professor Plum waking to his chambers with a crossbow.
  6. I do like them getting these quick interviews with so many cast members we don’t usually hear from.

  7. Hannah Murray is so beautiful! They really don’t show off her looks in the show. All grubby Northern/Wilding girl.

    Also Myrcella looks like a fairy-tale princess – what a beautiful vibe from Dorne.

  8. I can’t believe CNN actually went there. Daniel Portman basically admitted LS was postponed to “future seasons”.

  9. Pointy End,

    People forget the snake motif is for the whole of Dorne, not just Oberyn and his daughters. People call the Dornishmen “vipers”, for example.

  10. What is wrong with me? (don’t bother answering that, please). I still can’t get excited about Dorne, aside from wanting to see Areo and Doran. Much more excited about Braavos. Give us something, dammit!

  11. Viserion,

    That wasn’t his actual wording though. He said “I heard that’s been left for the future”. The question was about LS but it’s ambiguous as to what “that” actually means.

  12. This interviewer is not my favorite…

    Q1: What’s it like to be at the Tower of London?
    A1: Yeah its amazing.

    Q2: Can you give me any spoilers?
    A2: Of course not!

    I just want to hear about what they have to say about their characters & character development!

  13. Colty,

    This is the same problem year after year. Is that hard to find someone that can interact with these actors and ask intelligent questions?

  14. And now we wait a few hours for spoilers….

    …We’ll finally know if Illyrio is back!

  15. Nice to see Ian Beattie hug Sophie, mug that beating her was just pretend, and (I think) joke that she doesn’t want to hang out with his family, they’re like the Taliban.

  16. Dave,

    Makes sense. They are keeping their options open just in case they want to bring LS. I very much doubt they will though at this point.

  17. Well, the AP interviewer was sub par. Kept asking the cast what it felt like to be on the biggest show in the world. Few open ended questions.

    It could have been worse. Grace Dent for example…

    One of the better interviewers on YouTube is Jan Gilbert of Flicks and the City. Check out her interviews. The GoT cast tends to engage well with her.

  18. Tyrion Pimpslap,

    Then I wonder: Why the heck go to his manor and not just have Tyrion an Varys in Volantis at the start of the season. The “my friend is off doing something else” thing would be really lame.

  19. Viserion,

    Here’s an idea.

    Maybe they will reveal both a resurrected Jon and LS in the same episode. A good resurrection vs a not so good one.

    More than likely this is just an assumption though, but I suppose I can still be a bit hopeful.

  20. Of note: Tom Wlaschiha (Jaqen) and Richard Dormer (Beric Dondarrion) were both present at the premiere.

  21. Not liking Myrcella’s dresses. The first one… Does she really need that deep v-neck? How old is she in the show?

    As for the red carpet, I just realized that Michael McHelhatton (Roose) is Daniel Craig’s doppelgänger!

  22. So is the premier being shown right now?

    When can we expect spoilers for the first episode?

  23. Turncloak:
    Aww Myrcella looks like princess Peach with that dress

    Aww…how cute.

    Now imagine that face cut up and disfigured by the end of the season, if she is even alive!
  24. I’m not a supporter of the Trystane = Aegon / fAegon theory, but I gotta say that this picture of Trystane isn’t going to discourage anyone who is. He looks sorta like Viserys with dark hair.
  25. Luka Nieto: People forget the snake motif is for the whole of Dorne, not just Oberyn and his daughters.

    That, and they are all big Slytherin fans.

  26. Guys, keep in mind that the majority of audience members tonight were cast/crew/celebs. We’re far likelier to get detailed spoilers after one of the various US premieres next week, which should have a higher ratio of fans in attendance.

    I hope details spill as soon as possible, too, but we should probably adjust expectations (at least for tonight).

    I thought I read that some redditors would be in attendance and would post spoilers. Perhaps I was wrong.

  28. M:
    Myrcella’s getups are giving me a serious Dorne Barbie vibe.

    Lol

    Yeah it would be a bit hard to take seriously, Barbie meets One Direction,

    As ever though I guess I’ll see how it actually translates, could be a visual over-compensation to highlight the contrast in backgrounds

  29. Of course D & D are going to turn Myrcella and Trystane’s story into some sort of Romeo & Julio ripoff

  30. Al Swearengen:
    Of course D & D are going to turn Myrcella and Trystane’s story into some sort of Romeo & Julio ripoff

    Oh yea?!? What did GRRM write about Jon and Ygritte, Danny and Drogo? I could go on, shit… Let’s not forget why the Roberts Rebellion happened.
