Game of Thrones will give fans a rare glimpse into the past during season five.
The HBO fantasy hit has long avoided using narrative flashbacks during its first four years on the air, preferring to keep its action grounded in the show’s present moment. But Thrones will offer its first flashback scene next year. The flashback is currently expected to serve as the season’s opening scene (though this could change in editing).

It makes sense to use flashbacks at this point. Though I really hope it's more than one.
ReplyDeleteI figure it's Cersei and the fortune teller woman, whose name I can't remember right now. Maggie? Froggy? Something like that.
ReplyDeleteMaybe that's how Tywin will be seen. Charles Dance did say he's coming back right?
ReplyDeleteTotally the Cersei scene but I also wonder if they will use flashbacks for Bran's visions.
ReplyDeleteExactly.
ReplyDeleteMost figured this early in casting from the rumors of "Young Cersei" and Maggy the Frog being cast.
I'm hoping for more flashbacks from Bran's arc as well though!
For years now there's been rumors of a scene Seans Bean filmed with Bran in the Godswood. I would love if that turned up. As well as a certain Tower scene as well of course!
I'm pretty sure we will see Tywin in his funeral scene... Maybe more though who knows!
ReplyDeleteI really would love to see Ned again! I really would love more flashbacks actually its not something the show has tried before but if done well they could open up a lot of the history we only come across in the books.
ReplyDeleteI've been hoping for that ever since I read ADWD and discovered Bran's visions or Green Sight etc...
ReplyDeleteHaving him have visions of the past kills two birds with one stone. It would be a brilliant way to get some of the important historical exposition into the series and it would give Bran scenes... Hell it kills three birds I guess since it might actually make Bran scenes interesting! XD
I hope it won't be complicated & confusing. LOL
