WiC Weekly: Aug 9th-15th
Welcome back to WiC Weekly, your weekly rundown of everything that’s happening in the world of Game of Thrones, and sometimes beyond. This week’s top stories:
It’s time to recap the week in #GameofThrones! First, news of a young Ned Stark being cast. http://t.co/DkMh16CwQR pic.twitter.com/uNXhQulyGV

Casting a young Ned Stark could mean that we’re in store for flashbacks, weirwood visions, dreams, and more…but it’s probably a weirwood vision.
Next, are these smoky images from the Castle Black set depicting Jon Snow’s funeral? http://t.co/NaqiLYcITCpic.twitter.com/O9pw1uK6Vz — Winter is Coming (@WiCnet) August 16, 2015
Some new images from Northern Ireland heat up the is-Jon-Snow-dead debate.
Speaking of fire, rumor has it that there could be a big one in King’s Landing come Season 6. http://t.co/bEP58SfLQm pic.twitter.com/QLlPxafgns — Winter is Coming (@WiCnet) August 16, 2015
Ani Bundel gathered together some evidence to paint a picture of what might go down in King’s Landing next year. Maybe the theme of Season 6 will be “everything is on fire.”
George R.R. Martin talked about the “bittersweet” ending he has planned for his books. http://t.co/PrJ8qWVbx3pic.twitter.com/YiYnxUbpBd — Winter is Coming (@WiCnet) August 16, 2015
Martin specifically invoked the “The Scouring of the Shire” from The Lord of the Rings when discussing what kind of ending he’s going for.
Also in George R.R. Martin news, the author is feeling the pressure to complete his next book. http://t.co/9ACw1c5NeY pic.twitter.com/BAUPcvREOz — Winter is Coming (@WiCnet) August 16, 2015
The clock is ticking on whether we’ll see The Winds of Winter before Game of Thrones Season 6 debuts.
We go back down the rabbit hole and consider if Lady Stoneheart could show up in Season 6. http://t.co/BWMQ2Q4NhR pic.twitter.com/LpMkGMQwoU — Winter is Coming (@WiCnet) August 16, 2015
You know what they say: there’s no horse so dead it won’t benefit from a good beating.
Next up, fresh evidence that Season 6 will feature a scene at the infamous Tower of Joy. http://t.co/5BoK1XFVJx pic.twitter.com/BCZBnQHYiG

The Tower of Joy, young Ned Stark…Season 6 could be chock full of flashbacks.
Maisie Williams shares some of the difficulties of being blind in Season 6. http://t.co/ecxY5aYV9h pic.twitter.com/PopbDppOIF — Winter is Coming (@WiCnet) August 16, 2015
I really do feel for Maisie here. Big clunky contacts can’t be fun. I’d recommend Lasik surgery, but I think Westeros is a few hundred years away from that.
The most hated man in Westeros returns! David Bradley (Walder Frey) seen heading to Belfast. http://t.co/qJWJt3zwRG pic.twitter.com/HlyaUWryLO

It’ll be good to see crotchety old Walder Frey again, assuming Bradley is indeed visiting Belfast to film scenes for Season 6. I mean, I hate the character, but Bradley plays the grumpy old villain so well.
And finally, the winners of our Straight Outta Westeros contest. Hilarious job, everyone! http://t.co/zm7AevYLg5 pic.twitter.com/xaZxdVbOp1
