hey man thanks for stopping by, I've never registered on reddit or wordpress but I've read a lot of your stuff, and while of course everyone's going to disagree with some, it's always an interesting read, appreciate it!

Welcome to BG Cantuse!

There's a kind of hilarious thread on reddit involving a trial by seven for cersei with something like...

Sandor, Jaime, Loras, Garlan, Osfryd, Osney, and... everyone from Jon Snow to Theon to Tommen

As the champions for the church lol.

Thanks for the welcome folks. I can't promise I'll always be here, but I since see referrer URLs whenever someone posts a link to my blog, I'll be sure to check on any conversations and clear up questions on things, etc.

**Tyrath** · 2014-09-02 15:17

Man people on reddit are talking big time players like Littlefinger and Tyrion and you guys come up with Bran and Jojen lol.

Littlefinger has the most in common with Gatsby.

No, we now know this was really just him upset over Kirby McCauley.

Is this the same tournament where Jaime lost to Syrio Forel? That alone invalidates the whole thing for me.

MONIQUE SCHAFTER: Fans around the world are hungry for the next series of Game of Thrones, but they'll have to be patient.

KRISTIAN NAIRN: We're not actually in Season Five, by the way. We have a season off. We have a year's hiatus.

MONIQUE SCHAFTER: Really?

KRISTIAN NAIRN: Solely because, I imagine, our storyline is up to the end of the books. ... So I get a year off now to do Rave of Thrones and gallivant all over the world.

KRISTIAN NAIRN: Hodor.

**Tyrath** · 2014-09-03 12:57

Well its only confirmation of Hodor being gone. He doesn't do much while Bran is being a tree.

Somebody posted a response along the lines of "well bran had this interview where he sure sounds like he's shooting."

And then upon closer examination it was clear that he was dodging the question and pretty clearly talking about everybody else shooting, and not himself.

Isaac, are you excited for what is coming up on Game of Thrones?

HEMPSTEAD-WRIGHT: Yeah. There’s certainly some more action stuff, rather than sitting down in various forests, all over Westeros.

When do you start shooting the new season?

HEMPSTEAD-WRIGHT: They’re actually filming, at the moment.

Also note Kristian's initial use of the word "We" as opposed to "I". Granted, that could mean him and Meera.
