I like this. I was never a huge fan of the Lady Stoneheart storyline, and I never quite saw where GRRM was going with it. Glad to know the answer is nowhere.

agree.

BUT...

that actress Fairley could be lying to throw everyne off the scent

I don't think anyone's really invested in the corrupted BwB storyline per se. The disappointment is more about what they hoped unCat would accomplish; notably Red Wedding v 2.0. If it's true that Benioff and Weis have cut that storyline completely, then the odds of delicious Frey schadenfreud in TWoW decreases tremendously.

New cast members for Season 5 have been announced.

Jonathan Pryce as the High Septon will probably raise a few eyebrows. He's the highest profile actor of this bunch by a significant margin, and will immediately become one of the most recognizable members of the cast. Lends credence to at least one popular fan theory.

That it does, but the dude is six foot tall. Not really Crannogmen status.

I was thinking the same thing. That's just not how I pictured Howland Reed at all.

John Rhys-Davies is 6'1" and they made him look like a dwarf. Tom is like 4'9" and they always make him look 6' tall. I wouldn't worry too much, I think they picked him for his slender appearance.

I always pictured Areo Hotah as Idris Elba. Actually, I pictured the "guard" look to be similar to his Heimdall as well haha.

That dude is like sixty-five and Sean Bean is in his 40s. Howland reed was supposed to be younger that Lyanna.

Even if HS =/= HR, Reed is still destined to make a triumphant appearance at some point in the last two (three?) books. He will be needed to clear up the happenings at the Tower of Joy (R+L=J), and also to aid the resurgence of Winterfell when Rickon of House Stark, the First of His Name, King of the Andals and the First Men, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms and Protector of the Realm, takes power.

Is he not King of the Rhoynar in your fantasy world?

If my sister in law us ever in an elevator with GRRM she better offer herself to him in exchange for WOW spoilers.

GRRM recently noted at some ComiCon appearance that the Sand Snakes are going to play a very prominent role in TWoW.

Very sad news. GRRM's UK publicist said a 2015 release of WoW is very unlikely.

https://twitter.com/JaneJohnsonBakr/status/492050207979634689

I think there's a mistake in there somewhere. Based on the linked article, I think she must have read the question wrong, and what she meant was that it's "very unlikely, I'd say," that TWOW will be released in 2014.

The article says that the best bet is that TWOW will come out about the same time as Season 5 of the show. That will be in spring of 2015, right? And that would be inconsistent with her Twitter comment that the book won't come out in 2015.
