Let us just shout it from the rooftops, here be spoilers! Although, nothing that will make you curse the heavens to read or anything, you'll be alright, but all the same, you've been warned. (Unless you haven't seen up until the end of season four, then this will definitely ruin your day.)
We good?
Alright.
Actor Charles Dance, who played Tywin Lannister on the series until his untimely demise at the hands of his son, is set to appear in season five of the hit show, according to the man himself.
In a recent interview with MTV for his new movie 'Dracula Untold' the actor said; "I'm not completely missing out on the next series. You haven't seen the last of Tywin Lannister."
And that's all. What does that even MEAN?! Unless they drift way off the books in the upcoming season, the only likely way for this to happen is through flashbacks. Although HBO have said in the past that they would not be going down this road in Game of Thrones, however it's thought that now that the TV show is starting to catch up with the books, flashbacks would be an obvious move to buy the writers some time.
Think we are okay with that, as long as they don't completely mess with us a la 'Lost'. Plus it would be kind of cool to go back and see what things were like in King's Landing around the time of the Targaryen dynasty.
And, it's Charles Dance. When are we ever going to get enough of Charles Dance?
