That's going to be stuck in my head now!
Come on, don't call it a season. We still haven't addressed the elephant in the room - Brienne vs. The Hound. Did she seriously bite of his ear?

I hope so!

Was that the melted one or the good one? The guy has no luck either way.
With a cook like Pod travelling with her I can understand if she was a bit peckish.
I don't recall - I was more shocked she bit of his ear and spat it out. #girlpower. Maybe not....
Edit - looks like it might have been the good one:
Another edit - it looks like it was a piece of the bad one

Poor bastard can't catch a break. Biting is all the rage these days, it seems.
They really have built Brienne way tougher than she was in the books. Either that or they have build Jaime and the Hound way weaker. At this point I think the producers would have her beat Arthur Dayne and young Robert Baratheon blindfolded.

We'll have to think up a drinking game with these for season 5.

With HBO announcing that Season 5 of Game of Thrones would shift much of the action to Dorne — the region of the Seven Kingdoms ruled by House Martell — in the aftermath of the death of Oberyn Martell (Pedro Pascal), casting rumors for the various Martell family members have been omnipresent.
At today’s Game of Thrones panel at San Diego Comic-Con, HBO put the rumors to rest and announced the three actresses who would be playing Oberyn’s daughters, aka the Sand Snakes.
Oscar nominee Keisha Castle-Hughes, who starred in Whale Rider when she was 13, has landed the role of Obara Sand, Oberyn’s eldest daughter and a fearsome warrior in her own right. Jessica Henwick (Silk) will play Nymeria (“Nym”) Sand, the second eldest daughter — who is described as being cultured, graceful, and deadly with a whip. Rounding out the trio of young warrior women is Rosabell Laurenti Sellers (The Family) as Tyene Sand, whose mother is Ellaria Sand (Indira Varma), who watched in horror as The Mountain crushed Oberyn’s skull in Season 4.
Newmarket Films
The casting announcements didn’t end there, however, as six other actors will also be joining the fifth season:
Jonathan Pryce as the High Sparrow

A devout and pious man, the High Sparrow came to King’s Landing to serve those forgotten by much of the world – the poor, the downtrodden, and the infirm – and quickly amassed a large following. His fellow believers have swarmed over the city, ministering to the lowest, and decrying the corruption of the highest.
Alexander Siddig as Doran Martell

The former 24 star will play Doran Martell, the ruling lord of Dorne and the older brother to the late Red Viper, Prince Oberyn Martell. Expect many scenes with blood oranges, though it’s unclear whether producers will have Doran be the gouty, pensive character he is in George R.R. Martin’s books.
Also in Dorne…

Toby Sebastian (After the Dark) will play Trystane Martell, Prince Doran’s son and heir to Dorne. DeObia Oparei (Dredd) joins the cast as Areo Hotah, the long-serving captain of Doran Martell’s palace guard.
Nell Tiger Free as Myrcella Baratheon
Twitter: @freenelltiger
In a bit of recasting, Nell Tiger Free (Endeavour) will take over the role of Myrcella Baratheon, a role originally played by Aimee Richardson. Myrcella is the eldest child of Cersei Lannister (Lena Headey) and is betrothed to Trystane Martell. Her character was last seen in Season 2 of Game of Thrones, when she was sent to Dorne against the wishes of Cersei.
And finally…
Universal
Enzo Cilenti will play Yezzan, whose life as an extremely wealthy slave trader was affected when Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke) outlawed the slave trade.
Watch all the new actors introduce themselves.
HBO
Season 5 of Game of Thrones will premiere in 2015 on HBO.

It may seem hard to believe, but there are a lot of good times in Westeros, if this Game of Thrones Season 4 blooper reel is any indication.

I might be a bit later for a comment here, but I am surprised that they cast an Oscar nominee in such an unimportant role as Obara. And that they seem to have left out a way more important an interesting character in Arianne Martell, Doran's heir.
I wonder if the quality of the show will deteriorate further as they keep killing off roles played by great actors? You can't replace Sean Bean, Mark Addy or Charles Dance. And Jack Gleeson was brilliant and Rose Leslie killed it. It feels different with the show because all those actors were so compelling and charismatic, that they leave a hole. Dany and Jon are amazing characters but Emilia Clarke and Kit Harrington are not in Charles Dance's/Mark Addy's league, which makes it a different prospect with the show vs books.

Why can't a necromancer revive Oberyn
Thoros of Myr is a little busy bringing Beric back from the dead. There was another "back from the dead" story line but it looks like that has been cut from the series. Sorry.

I don't like it
Why should I care what they've done before, when Drogo could have done me? I was such a sure thing!
