New York Comic Con is well underway, and, in addition to panels and photo ops with Game of Thrones stars like Kristian Nairn and Daniel Portman- there is also a veritable smorgasbord of new (super awesome) merchandise.
Watchers On The Wall was able to land a meeting with Dark Horse Comics, purveyors of some of the highest quality pieces of Thrones products available.
More information and exclusive pictures after the jump!
This is a spoiler-ridden post. Unsullied, be warned.
After some previous unconfirmed reports, it is now quite clear that Littlefinger will return to King’s Landing in Game of Thrones season 5. From a book reader’s perspective, this introduces a whole host of speculation into the fold, as Baelish was still very much in the Vale when he was last seen in A Feast for Crows.
Aidan Gillen was photographed by some fans in Dubrovnik last week. While the context of his scene(s) is unknown, he was very much present in the city specifically for filming as Littlefinger, as evidenced by the picture above.
Massive spoilers for a key scene below the cut.
With all the discussion surrounding the Faith this year on Game of Thrones, there is one notable new casting for the storyline fans have been wondering about and WatchersOnTheWall can now confirm that the role has been filled with British actress Hannah Waddingham.
HBO has officially confirmed to us that Waddingham will be playing Septa Unella, described as “a septa serving the Faith of the Seven. As a member of the Most Devout, the highest ranking clergy, she enforces strict adherence to her religion’s laws.”

Preparation for the filming of Game of Thrones season 5 continues in Seville, with the Spanish city set to host Dornish scenes beginning on October 10th.
The powers-that-be at Los Siete Reinos have sourced a recent video of a scene rehearsal taking place at the Alcázar of Seville, which will serve as a filming location in the coming days. As the nature of the video is spoiler-ridden, it’s hidden below the cut.

Time to bring out the big guns- or swords, as it were. The time has come to vote for the Best Actor of Game of Thrones season 4.
Between loving and dying and fighting for their lives, our nominees’ characters had one hell of a year.
As previously announced, there was no preliminary round for this category. The nominees were determined already, since the field was narrow enough.
Your nominees are:

The production is crew is busy modifying the Alcázar in Sevilla, Spain in preparation for filming that will occur there from October 10th-18th. Above in a photo by Antonio Pizarro it looks like the crew is adding greenery along the roof edge of the palace (thanks to Jentario for the Twitter link).
ABC Sevilla has an article with a gallery of photos and another article showing scheduled closures for the palace. Note the second article showing closures indicates that filming will begin on Monday the 13th, but previous reports indicated that filming will actually begin this Friday. Either way we will keep you informed as to what is really going on!

Best Supporting Actor is my most and least favorite category to vote on, due to the sheer number of strong performances from Game of Thrones actors. They’re a pleasure to watch, and five seems almost like too small a number to be recognizing as finalists.
But here we are, in the final round, and a winner must be chosen. The preliminary round was brutal, with cast members who had great seasons such as Jerome Flynn, John Bradley, and Aidan Gillen just missing the cut.
Filming for Game of Thrones season 5 in Croatia is finally winding down. After an intensive two weeks of shooting King’s Landing scenes in Dubrovnik, the production team is currently at work in Villa Sheherezade.
However, we haven’t had our last insight into filming in the city of Dubrovnik itself.
WiC has recently acquired some images, one of which shows cast member Jonathan Pryce, who will portray the High Sparrow in the upcoming season. This gives us our first look at the actor on set and in costume.
Spoilers and more images after the cut.

Now, the final winner of the Watchers on the Wall Award for Funniest Scene will be chosen by you. The nominees are:
