WiC Weekly: November 8-14

It’s time for WiC Weekly, where we bring you the latest in Game of Thrones news.

First, a cast member uploaded a page from a Season 6 script to Instagram. You can imagine how happy that must have made HBO. The image has since been taken off the actor’s Instsagram page, but the internet is forever.

Next, Ian McShane teases his role in Season 6. It’s a small miracle it took this long to get a hint. Speculation over who exactly he’ll play has ramped up in the meantime.

Game of Thrones fans are the most industrious fans. This one tabulated the distances between many of the important places in Westeros.

In casting news, we learned that a couple of new Northern lords will appear in Season 6, including one a lot of fans have been eagerly awaiting.

Based on the evidence, one of those Northern Lords is very likely Lord Wyman Manderly, aka Lord Too-Fat-to-Sit-a-Horse. The guy made quite a splash in A Dance with Dragons, and we made a wish list of people we’d like to see play him.

On the Dothraki side of things, learn who Kiwi actor Joe Naufahu will play next year.

Between seasons, it’s good to take stock of where we are. Check out our look at how the show has been increasingly diverging from the books.

Next, Emilia Clarke becomes the first cast member to confront all those pre-season Kit Harington sightings head-on. She also weighs in on the question of just how many seasons the show will have in the end.

WiC gets high-minded, as Richard Preston explores the mythological underpinnings of Jon Snow’s character.

Lastly, enjoy some of shots of various Game of Thrones actors having fun with miniature pigs. Also, Finn Jones’ hair is looking awfully short. Does this mean anything for Loras Tyrell?
