shipperx | GOT Season 5 Book Departure Rumor (Reply)

It's not in the book, but it sounds workable (and potentially more exciting. Seriously, a siege was always going to be dead dull to watch (and could easily be handed over to pad out Brienne's plot for a little while). Looking at where the books end (so far) and where the season ends, they'll have timeline coordination issues no matter what they do. There's just precious little for some characters to do and a whole hell of a lot for others to do.)

With that said, I still wantJaime/Tyrion's aunt to show up). Although, it may make more sense to let Uncle Kevan have that bit instead.

From Winteriscoming.net:

Season five casting is well under way, and it was only a matter of time before audition tapes began turning up.

The first audition to surface online this year is that of actress Tania Raymonde, reading for the role of Obara Sand. Obara is the eldest of Oberyn Martell’s daughters, known collectively as the Sand Snakes. According to the leaked casting call, the athletic Obara will be having a fight scene with a significant character.

The audition reading appears to be a scene between Obara and her sister Tyene. Tucked in details of the scene below the cut as they do contain spoilers.

In the audition, Obara and Tyene broach the topic of avenging their father Oberyn, and Obara shares the story of how he collected her from her mother long ago, with Obara choosing the spear. It sounds like the seeds of the plot surrounding Princess Myrcella are being sown in the conversation, with the mention of them “having one of them.” Most interestingly though, Obara reveals that Jaime Lannister has been sighted sneaking into Dorne, leaving some to wonder if this is the notable character who will cross swords with Obara.
