Game of Thrones are filming in Ballintoy Harbour, same place for Theon’s arrival home to Pyke in Season 2. So we're defiantly getting the Iron Islands.

So it's confirmed, I loved this in the book so looking forward to this. The swards man is Arthur Dayne, wonder who might play Lyanna and if Sean Bean returns. They cast a young Ned Stark but for a different flashback.
Kit Harrington has also been spotted again around the set.

I'm both excited and pensive about the upcoming season.
Excited because having gone past the books that's a significant monkey off their backs when it comes to freedom to depict the goings on for various characters and settings. The last couple of books were quite dull and they struggled to overcome that in the show itself. Maybe now having gone past that point they can express their vision more clearly and maybe speed things up a bit.
Pensive because when they've had freedom over character direction and dialogue in the past it's been very predictable 'hollywood' tv and has suffered (imo) as a result. I'm dreading that they'll feck something up - though what they'll feck up I'm not sure.
Apologies if this post is somewhat nonsensical, it's been a long day and my brain is scrambled.

I've been reading the last 2 books again and i like them a lot. I kind of think they put the show to shame.
I liked Brienne and Jaime's story a lot. Dorne and the Iron Islands are a nice addition too imo.
I'd half forgotten about them. I think I'm due a reread.
Chances they'll bring back Sean Bean and age him down for the potential ToJ scenes?
May just be a drunken oversight as I definitely need to spare some time for a reread - has it ever been mentioned whether a white walker could be a warg? The proper WW's are evidently sentient creatures, not undead Ihni binni dimi diniwiny anitaime.
Definitely possible I think. It's heavily implied (with the Night's King), that they have a connection of some sort to the Starks.
I want the Manderly Pies to happen
Manderly 'Memphis De' Pies
Oh for feck sake, time for bed
Oh for feck sake, time for bed
My tagline is fairly apt at this point, going to avoid posting the rest of the night I think.
They're introducing the northern lords like Manderly in the next season aren't they?
What if he's Bran the builder?
I heard a theory that he was a Stark bastard...called Jon Snow. But Brandon the Builder is possible too.
Well, they're introducing Northern lords, but a lot think it's likely that Greatjon will replace Wyman if Rickon's with him.
Can't believe people thought it was Vanilla and not Vinegar.
I know right!
Wtf
Saw that the other day, brilliant. Rooney
Saying that from what we've seen of Rooney's acting in the past he'd be a cracking wight, though he'd have to move a bit quicker.
Some big spoilers here, Aeron Greyjoy being cast as well as Euron, Alfie Allen, Jamie Lannister and Ayra.

Guy they cast as Euron is a bit young, isn't he?
Yep, Euron should have been older. Imagined him in his mid forties at least.
It is a disgrace that there is no Victarion. Him, Arienne and Aegon should have been in the show.

Pilou Asbæk is fecking everywhere, can't watch a Danish TV series these days without him showing up somewhere and now he'll be in GOT as well.
There is no escape!

Tbf though he does look like he could be related to Theon. More a cousin than an uncle though.
Aye he looks like Alfie Allen, he's got the same weirdly off-centre eye and wide head.
Just seen this lads, 2016

I believe it when I see it.
However, need to do a reread of the last two books before I read it. Have forgotten too mnay things.
Some big future spoilers on r/asoiaf for those who don't mind a bit of prior knowledge.
Where have they come from?
The pictures from set right?

In what regard is House Tarly held in ASOIAF and is Randyll Tarley considered one of the best commanders/soliders in Westeros or am I completely off base?

Quite high I think. You are right in that Randyll is seen as one of the more prominent commanders in the west, especially with so much of the former good commanders dead.
So if Tarly and Euron have been cast, who the hell is Ian McShane playing?
Hopefully it's a good role. Still slightly bemused at the small role they gave to the guy who played Adebisi in lost last year...

The only one to have defeated Robert, so quite high. He's alongside Robert and Stannis as far as commanders go imo.
I've been rewatching Season 1 for the first time, it really is miles better than the later stuff.
It actually tells an interesting and engaging story, rather than the later seasons, taking it in turns to catch up with a range of characters we're familiar with.
