Game of Thrones Season 5 Discussion [SPOILERS WITHIN]

Well that's what I'm thinking, and I was happy in thinking that until I read about his supposed interview 'confirming' that he was leaving the series? Do you reckon that's just bullshit?

[FatAndFaithless]

If I recall the interview correctly..didn't he simply say "i'm dead, that's it" or something like that? it sounded very legalese to me, like technically he does die just like Beric Dondarrion died, but was resurrected.

I cried about Myrcella :'(

She was hot . God I hope she was 16+

  (Just kidding, actually ) she (Nell Tiger Free, which is indeed her name) is 15 now (probably 14 during filming), turns 16 on October 1.

...According to wikipedia! I swear I haven't memorized her birthday!...
.........only Dakota Fanning's........

Strange, because I always keep seeing Arya as the 'little girl' when Maisie Williams in 18 in real life.

From what I read, he was talking about saying goodbye to everyone one set. Seemed pretty clear cut.

Could be misdirection. We'll see in several months when people go digging through the casting lists for the next seasons. Hell, I'd at least expect his name to be in the next season cast if only to appear as a corpse, just like Tywin Lannister.

Yeah.  Yeah.  She's a kick-awesome actor

[FatAndFaithless]

And this was her first role! She was aspiring to be a professional dancer before that (she's got some fucking sick moves).

I read that too.  There are 3 possibilites that I see.

1) He's dead, the end, in which case, I agree, screw this show and the books too.  His plot was set up to be much more important to the overall story.  Like, why do we care who his mom and dad really are if he just dies and is not longer important to the story?  Whatever.

2) Kit is lying and will get rezzed next season somehow, because it's a cliffhanger, and he's not going to say, "well yeah, 'course I'm not really dead, see you guys next season!), it pretty well ruins their cliffhanger. They want people pissed off and wondering all year, it will make people come back and see what happens next season.

3) KIT won't be back next year (so he's not lying) but his character isn't dead-dead.  This would be like if he warged into his wolf, or maybe if they set his body outside the gates and the WW come get him and turn him into an "other", WW, or maybe even the new Nights King of some such, in which case they may just CGI his character from now on.


I'm guessing it's #2.   But in this screwed up universe it could be anything really.

His being dead may pivot on what the meaning of "is" is in the phrase "is dead".
