Yesssssss.

Just saw McShane on the first Ray Donovan episode of Season 3. Weird, creepy little dude.

If you haven't seen Deadwood you're missing out on on his portrayal of the best antagonists in modern American television, period. Antiheros are blown out at this point but Swearengen is forever.
At least a goldfish with a Lincoln Log on its back goin' across your floor to your sock drawer has a miraculous connotation to it.

Yesssssss.

http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/tv/news/game-of-thrones-season-6-tower-of-joy-adds-fuel-to-jon-snow-fan-theory-amid-predictions-of-ned-starks-return-10390144.html

Saw this recently also.

I would guess this ultimately ends up validating the R + L = J and Tower of Joy fan theories next season. And with GoT creators/writers/cast vehemently stating that Jon Snow is "dead is dead is dead," it all seems too perfect for "Jon Targaryen" to make his first appearance this season.

Emilia Clarke also suggested what we're all thinking here, too: http://variety.com/2015/tv/news/emilia-clarke-jon-snow-alive-game-of-thrones-season-6-1201529727/
Are you guys suggesting that Ian McShane will play Arther Dayne?  That'd be tight.  I assume he isn't dead yet.

Actually maybe he's playing HOwland Reed.   The only witness to Jon's birth... supposedly dead, but I doubt it.
I think he is Euron Greyjoy.  The age and look would match a lot better than Howland Reed or Arthur Dayne.

McShane could do a good Greyjoy.

He would, I wonder if he won't play Archmaester Marwyn, Euron or Howland Reed.

Haven't read the books, but I've stumbled on a couple wiki articles... I'm gonna guess Howland Reed.

A crying shame that show spun out of budgetary/directorial control...I would have loved to have seen where it went

This deserves it's own thread, but I'll ask here.  What are the best shows ever, assuming most are in recent years and mostly on Cable.  For various reasons, I never watched shows until the last couple of years.   GOT is a amazing, the Sopranos was great too.   I know Madmen was great, but
I have never seen an episode.  What are the best shows?

If this is true, I wonder if there will be any connection between her and a potentially resurrected Jon Targaryen? With the animosity shown towards Jon by her, I guess some sort of reconciliation will occur if the R + L = J theory does in fact turn out to be true.

It's open season for rumours, I guess. There's no actual written content to go by, so everything is fair game.

This rumor is directly related to written content that hasn't shown up on the show yet.  So not quite the same thing.

I don't know, having Lady Stoneheart show up abruptly so long after the Red Wedding seems a little contrived, since they'd have to explain what she'd been doing for the year or so that's passed in Westeros since then.  But I'd be curious to see where they'd go with it, and if it somehow brought us more Blackfish that'd be cool.  And the Brotherhood Without Banners have pretty much disappeared since having a major role in Season 3, so a little closure there would be nice too.

I mean it is strange, but Bran and the Greyjoy's (aside from Theon) weren't on the show last season after having big roles before and presumably big roles in season 6.  It wouldn't be that hard to bring Lady Stoneheart into the fold now.

Agreed about the Brotherhood.  I don't need Lady Stoneheart, but that storyline feels like it was dropped too abruptly.

Also could use some better resolution to The Hound, though we may never get one.
