Now that we'll be put out of our misery on April 6th, HBO has decided to whet our appetite even more for the first trailer of the year with sneak peeks on their Vine account. Vines and heinous speculation follow.

Speak Softly and Carry a Poisoned-tipped Stick
Courtesy of WinterisComing.net, we get glimpses of Indira Varma as Ellaria Sand and Pedro Pascal as Oberyn Martell. We also get a sneak peek at a certain scene which is SUPER SPOILERY.
(Neither of the ones posted here are spoilery, but the post on WiC is.)
One of my favorite families in the book is finally showing up, the Martells. They're a strange people in charge of a even stranger land. There's a touch of the American south in Dorne: the remoteness, strange customs, isolation, and even a touch of the gothic. They, like the North, have long memories of how time and time again the Irone Throne have pricked and cut them. Like the Starks, others have bought their power with their blood. They have been dishonnored in many ways. I have the sense that they'll be a tanner, more lascivious, and (frankly) smarter version of the Starks to give the Lannisters some needed trouble.

A Thousand Eyes and One
As much as I liked season 3 of GoT, some elements threw me for a loop, Loras betrothed to Cersei being one of them. It's not like we were going to get an epic sword fight between Loras and Jaime when he gets back, hand or no hand. Now I'm seeing that they (may have) cast Bloodraven for season 4!
Rodgers may be familiar to you if you're a Doctor Who fan: He's the voice of the Face of Boe. That's just the tip of the iceberg for this actor, who's been in some of the UK's best known and venerated works, such as "Rumpole of the Bailey", "The Boys from the Blackstuff", and "Chariots of Fire". That aside, things are moving rather rapidly on the show. As someone opined on Boiled Leather, it could be due to the fact that the actor who plays Bran is getting older and bigger; they're already pulling him around on a cart in the show. It's going to be awfully hard to call someone little lord when they're growing a beard.
