Here’s a bunch of the new people that Game Of Thrones will probably kill off next season
One of the main superficial complaints that people have about Game Of Thrones—right between “too much nudity” and “not enough nudity”—is that it just has too many darn characters. Even for the nerdiest of fans, it can get pretty tough to keep track of all the Starks and Lannisters and Thundarrs and Mightors. This problem gets even worse when Game Of Thrones introduces new characters just to immediately kill them off, like it did last year when it cruelly took away that really badass guy who everyone loved.
Anyway, thanks to The Hollywood Reporter, we now know a bunch of the new actors that HBO is going to drop into Westeros, all so they can helplessly flop around and be stabbed to death for our amusement. First up is Star Trek: Deep Space Nine’s Alexander Siddig, who will be joining Game Of Thrones as Doran Martell, “the ruling lord of Dorne and the older brother to Oberyn.” Oberyn, of course, is that guy who got his head popped open by The Mountain last season, and it’s his death that’s going to drive a chunk of Game Of Thrones’ plot going forward.
