Dude, this is how "adaptation" works. You can't keep everything.

You should attempt to keep major plot points. That's how good adaptations work.
This isn't like a Tom Bombadil situation.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Well, maybe it is, maybe it isn't. The entire plotline was just introduced in the last book, it could wrap itself up by midway in the next one for all we know.
The fact that it doesn't look like it is going to make the show suggests that, in fact, it very will does wrap itself up rather quickly."My nation is the world, and my religion is to do good." --Thomas Paine

Regardless if it wraps up in the next book...

I won't make an argument one way or the other about whether it will appear in the show, but I'll say this. GRRM ends ADWD by...Spoiler:Click here if you're having trouble sleeping.

That was just used to indicate how far they had gotten.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

I suspect they're going to try to start splitting books up over multiple seasons because they know they're running out of material and they want to give GRRM more time to finish the books he has told them he'll finish.Originally posted by Guynemer View PostTry http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.Comment

Unfortunate news.
A veteran actor who had just filmed his first scenes for Game of Thrones has died.
JJ Murphy, 86, died suddenly on Friday at his home in Belfast.
Mr Murphy had recently joined the cast for series five of the HBO series, which is filmed in Northern Ireland.
He had been cast as Ser Denys Mallister of the Night's Watch. The character was due to appear throughout series five, and Mr Murphy had been expected to film more scenes this summer.
He also had a role alongside fellow Game of Thrones actor, Charles Dance, in the upcoming Hollywood film, Dracula Untold.
The movie was filmed in Northern Ireland in 2013 with a budget of £100m, and is due to be released in October.
Dracula Untold was not Mr Murphy's first experience of Bram Stoker's creation. He played Van Helsing in a 1980 production of The Death of Dracula at the Lyric Theatre in Belfast.
He was well known in Northern Ireland for his stage work having trained at the Old Group Drama School in the 1940s, and as a member of the Lyric Players Theatre.
Belfast born Mr Murphy leaves behind wife Mary, and two children, Joseph and Jane, and granddaughter Sarah-Jane.
His funeral will be held in Belfast on Wednesday.The genesis of the "evil Finn" concept- Evil, evil FinlandComment

It can't be an unforeseen or unplanned for circumstance when casting 86 year olds. They must have a hot standby. It does remind me though that some of my favorite actors are pretty damn old
