Ian McShane has been cast for Season 6 in a small role. Can't wait to see what they make him do... Perhaps a Greyjoy or Sam's father?
the show at this point has now officially passed by the books, right?

Yes and no. The vast majority of the books have been passed. However, there were story lines initially dropped from TV that, based on new character casting, they may be circling around to revisit. Now that they are doing 8 seasons (for 7 books), they may mine some older content, re-jumble the timeline to fir TV, and that could be most of this season. There are a tone of Iron Islands (Theon's family) storylines in the books still and they have definitely cast some of those characters this year.
But for the main characters, they are in uncharted territory.
I thought the filming of this season was delayed to give GRRM a chance to do more writing. I thought I read he basically told the writers of the show what was going to happen with some detail around his plans for characters and story lines?

This looks so epic. I am still curious to see what happens with Jon Snow. Does he comeback at something different? Does something possess him? Is he only going to comeback in dream or supernatural appearances? He definitely has been spotted on set so his character is doing something.
Man...I can't wait.
