    I deleted it there but it was definitely blacked out on my phone... Apologies if I spoiled anything, it was completely unintentional.

    Great casting - I love Max von Sydow.

    Mind you, I find myself getting excited by various casting news each season only to be disappointed at the lack of screen time, Ciaran Hinds, Mackenzie Crook and Alexander Siddig being good examples of this.

    They've just cast a young Ned. More flash backs I guess.

    At least we know that they're giving Bran some decent storyline now. Seeing as his story is one of the few that hasn't passed the books I hope we get a lot of Bran.. The potential of what Bloodraven/Bran can see and do is massive. It's all but definite that we'll see the Tower of Joy so R+L=J will either be proven or disproven next season. Knowing Jon's true parentage should be huge (assuming he's actually alive).

    And with a younger Ned we might get glimpses of events such as The Siege of Pyke (reintroduction to Thoros?). The possibilities are huge. I just hope the don't balls it up like they did with Dorne...

    Not quite casting related but HBO announced that they won't be filming in Croatia for season 6.

    HBO confirmed the news in a statement, which said: 'We can confirm that based on story and location needs, "Game of Thrones" will not be shooting in Croatia for season 6".

    Looks like either mostly indoor scenes in KL or switching it to the Spanish cities with CGI.

    So we have our Euron but it's not Ian McShane

    Not the great Dane people were hoping for.

    Was hoping they'd make Dickon a sound lad, less like his dad, who is sympathetic with Sam but that casting suggests he's gonna be more a Loras Tyrell than a Robb Stark.

    Latest casting news: Richard E Grant! The show is named on his agent's web page for him. Who might he be playing? I'm still pondering that ...

    From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a bitch’.

    If an actor as good as Richard E Grant is going to appear on the show I just hope they don't waste such an amazing talent like they did with Cíaráin Hinds (by not giving him much screen time). He would be great as the Mad King but that would only be a cameo. Unless they're going into TWOW territory and there's a character who has a lot of screen time. That I wouldn't mind...

    Grant would be a fabulous Ser Hyle Hunt! Dry wit, cocky yet valiant, sneaky but generally a good guy.

    I'm not sure about the Euron casting, concerned they're merging his character with Victarion. As much as I like the Victarion storyline they're polar opposites.

    A late 30s Jeremy Irons would have made an ideal Euron

    My guess is she'll be Moqorro, Victarion's red priest. HBO like to sex things up so I guess they don't have a problem changing the gender of the book character.
