I've read the books two times through. I am aware of the timeline. I am telling you that there are discussions elsewhere that this plot point is not happening. My brother brought it to my attention and it pissed me off just to contemplate it. I sincerely hope I am wrong, but this same discussion group (which appears to contain at least one person who has some kind of inside connection) has yet to be wrong about anything.
To you, it's a third person interent rumor at best. No, I wouldn't expect you to put any stock in it. I wouldn't in your shoes. I just hope it's wrong, or that they do what someone else suggested
I still do not see a casting for Vargo Hoat - which makes you wonder...
Also, I'd like to renew my gripe from a couple of weeks ago about how awful the Roose Bolton casting was. He is nowhere near as sinister as he should be.
And I'll add that Davos is a complete casualty of this show. Such an interesting character on the pages and so absolutely wasted on the screen.
