> On a on-topic note, I wonder how the show progression is going to be for the youngest actors? Like the child playing Rickon, Art Parkinson, who’ll be 24 by the time the series ends if it keeps the bi-annual schedule? May this be why he’s been kept so off-screen, so we won’t get too attached to the actor?

Bi-annual? I’m pretty sure season 2 is scheduled to air next year, so one season per year is what’s planned. As to the question of Rickon, well, I’m not sure if I can answer that without referencing the books.
