New prop images from the House of Black and White, actors on set in Split, and more

duilovoset1Reddit user PunchPatrol has shared two images of props under construction in Belfast’s Titanic Studios, to be used in Game of Thrones season 5.

The props in question are statues, representing different gods/goddesses, that will occupy a room in the House of Black and White. From what we can see, the statues appear to be extremely faithful to their descriptions in A Feast for Crows.

Spoilers after the cut.

New Content: What does that mean?!

W Button

The WotW community has been fervently discussing GoT since HBO first announced that the beloved Asoiaf books would be adapted to the small screen.  Since then we have had our ups and downs but one thing is for certain, we have formed an exciting and dynamic community with a culture all its own.  As we continue to grow we hope that new visitors will not only drop in but make us their “go to” source for GoT news.  There is, however, a little bit of a learning curve when joining any online fan site and ours is no exception.  To address this issue and for the purposes of documenting a wee bit of our cultural history we have added a Lexicon to our main menu.

This new page lists in alphabetical order common acronyms, phrases, memes and other sundry bits of arcane knowledge that we created, or have referred to or continue to refer to within posts and comments.  Long-time commenters will probably read it and say, “Well duh!” or “Hey, they forgot ———!”  and that is to be expected.  New visitors will perhaps find it useful.  Either way, as long as people are informed and/or amused I’ve achieved my goal.

With that in mind, please take a gander at the new Lexicon and give us your feedback in the comments section below.  If you think of a meme, catchphrase or acronym we have missed, please let us know.  Eventually as this post fades into memory and comments die down we might add a new topic to the Forums to continue the discussion of potential Lexicon entries but for now feel free to comment here.

And remember, Always Support the Bottom!

diocletians

Reader Jessa B. visited Diocletian’s Palace today and was able to sneak some pictures of three sets in the midst of construction as preparations are underway to begin filming Game of Thrones season 5 at the historical site.

The first set will appear quite familiar, as it was seen in Daenerys’ last scene in season 4. A stone staircase is being re-installed in the cellars as well as stone slabs to cover small doors along the wall.

Slight spoilers after the jump!

More Myranda in Game of Thrones season five

Charlotte HopeIt looks like we’ll be seeing more of Ramsay’s favorite companion in the next season of Game of Thrones! According to the CV of actress Charlotte Hope, she will be appearing in season 5.

Last seen in “The Laws of Gods and Men” during Yara Greyjoy’s aborted assault on the Dreadfort, Myranda was oddly unaccounted for during the rest of season four. Her absence led some fans to speculate that her character might’ve even been killed offscreen (with an explanation forthcoming), or in a cut scene.

With the confirmation of Hope’s return, the speculation can be put to rest.
