Well, McShane won't be Euron / Euron-Victarion hybrid:

Quote:
HBO’s “Game of Thrones” has cast Danish actor Pilou Asbæk as Euron Greyjoy in season six, Variety has confirmed.
Euron Greyjoy is the uncle of Theon (Alfie Allen) and Yara (Gemma Whelan) and the younger brother of Balon Greyjoy (Patrick Malahide), Lord of the Iron Islands. In George R. R. Martin’s novels, Euron is a skilled warrior who captains a ship called the Silence, and is known for his tempestuous and unpredictable moods. If season six of “Thrones” follows the Greyjoy storyline from Martin’s “A Song of Ice and Fire” novels, Asbæk’s Euron is likely to play a pivotal role in the series going forward.

Has me thinking more and more that McShane could end up as the damphair, although that would make him older than Euron. Of course, with his surly disposition, I guess McShane could end up being Randyll Tarly as well...although I don't really want to hate him.

GoT sure loves their Danish actors. Now if we could just get Mads in on it.

Doesn't he seem too young to be Euron? The actor is only a couple years older than Alfie Allen.

Potential book spoilers about the upcoming season, confirms ToJ shooting, some type of big battle between the Boltons and Wildlings and Kit Harrington spotted on what they are trying to keep a very closed and secret set.

Also, any ideas how to deal with 'show' spoilers now in the book thread? Maybe a new thread altogether? Don't see using the spoiler function as a long-term solution.

I think this should just remain a thread for a full, no holds barred discussion of all aspects of the GoT universe, assuming everyone has read the books and watched the shows.

Splitting it into three - Show Only (no spoilers from books), Book Only (no spoilers from show), and Combined - just seems unwieldy, and I'm betting there won't be a significant number of people who avoid the show in order to not spoil the book.

This thread is about the books, the show has been drawn into it obviously because the show is based on the books. Discussing spoilers from the show IMO is not that much different than speculating on what will happen next in the books. Martin himself has said that he and the show creators have the same ending point, but will follow different paths to get there.

I think this can be a no-holds barred thread for the entire Songs of Ice and Fire universe.


I doubt it would even be possible to disentangle the book/show discussions and speculation at this point.

If people wish to maintain a "pure" book reading experience.....good luck with that. They will need to create their own thread.

Watchers on the Wall have some more rumours/spoilers up involving John and ToJ. Looks as though we will see the ToJ through Brans vision.

Any reason folks wouldn't just include "leaked" information in spoiler tags, like FlameOn did?

Totally agree that trying to filter out info from "aired" episodes would be impossible though.
