I've been into the R+L=J theory since back in 2006. Book Readers FTW!
I have a feeling they'll give the lady stone heart storyline to Jon snow. They're not sticking to books as it may be obvious to some fans now. They did after all give Sansa stark the Jeyne pool storyline, why wouldn't they do same. Also pretty sure the hounds coming back as well.
That crown belongs to one true king of Westeros, Stannis Baratheon!
Could he play the mad King ?
You are pretty, clever and funny! I enjoyed it very much!
Max Von Sydow in your thumbnail looked like the First Doctor, William Hartnell to me. Maybe its because I'm currently watching him on the classic Doctor Who. 🙂
And yay for him playing the Three Eyed Raven, as I've been anxiously awaiting Bran's return and the continuation of his story.
Ian Mcshane can be the father of Sam , Randyl Tarly !!!!
Since everyone reckons that Jon Snow will be resurrected .. George R R Martin have decided to kill him to enhance the fantasy.
I only see the red hot chili peppers logo behind her lol. I am weird
+Nerdist The 2 minute long Invokana ad is killing your AdSense revenue!
Ian Mcshane could be author dane.
HBO signed on for 8 seasons.
John Snow Lives!
what about Arthur Dayne?
well although I find Ian McShane a little too big to be the tiny framed Crannogman Howland Reed, at least it would put an end to that dumb "Howland Reed is the High Sparrow" theory.
Seriously that one was just dumb.
WHAT WILL IAN MCSHANE BEING ON GOT MEAN?!!!
JUDGING FROM HIS LAST HBO SERIES 'DEADWOOD'….
THE WORD 'COCKSUCKER' BEING REPEATED ANOTHER MILLION TIMES.
#TeamResurrectJohn
I love your suggestion that McShane may play Howland Reed. Very intriguing!
I hope Ian McShane's character shows up to step on Ramsay Bolton's neck and call him a c**ksucker.
#teamzombiesnow
he could be arthur dayne
Personally I figured Ian McShane would be playing Lord Godric Borrell.
Hey Jessica, will you be at the Gamescom? Would be great to meet you there! Malik said you may be there.
jon will come back but maybe by ep 5 or 10 in season 6.
Ian McShane is Randyll Tarly
Jojen's corpse was light on fire… Not at all frozen
If Jon is really died why the hell would they wasn't valuable screen time for a character that is gone….that would do nothing to progress the story of GOT…with the red witch at the wall and the actor spotted on set this adds up to Jon snow will be back..
Whatsabet Jon Snow's spirit goes into Ghost, coz he's a warg. But he's otherwise dead. And I can't wait for the Nights Watch to get wiped out by the Others just so I can go nah nah told you so!
And oh boy, Bran Stark, the Wesley Crusher of Game of Thrones.
