There's the funny thread but I didn't want to put random crap in that.

Saw this album on Reddit (All book Spoilers):

It's some person's top 10 bits of art about the series

Here are 2 of the non-spoilery ones:

They've probably all appeared at one time or another on here but it's nice to see them in 1 place.

Good Idea for a thread

Hadn't seen this one before, class!

EDIT - ****, spoilers!

The young Robert Baratheon, as described in the books, sounded cool. But jaysus he looks like a fückin badass in those pictures. Imagine him rushing towards ya with that warhammer. Poor oul Rheagar didn't stand a chance.

Robert looks class in those pics.

Going by his casting in the TV show, he must have got shorter as his stomach got bigger, he looks a giant there.

He's supposed to be 6ft6 and built like a brick ****house.
So is Renly.

Presumably Stannis is around that too.

I thought Addy nailed it in terms of character and it's fair enough scaling them down a bit (Gregor Clegane is supposed to be nearly 8ft tall) but having the Baratheons sub 6ft makes it harder to believe that they were these Collossi on the battlefield.

A Tale of Benjen Stark

A fan made short speculating on what Benjen Stark got up to north of the wall after leaving Jon Snow at Castle Black.

This is purely speculation based on what we've seen on the TV show to date.

1st clip looks like we'll have that duel after all

. Looks similar to that scene in Troy. I might be wrong but that's what it looks like!

I wonder who Dany's warrior will be

I really hope it's Strong Belwas, but I'd sure it'll be Barristan or Daario. I always thought Dany's idea of not risking throwing out someone too valuable showed maturity on her part though. Plus, Belwas is awesome.

Strong Belwas was cut (no pun intended) from the show. Whoever champions Dany is likely already in the show

Could be the giant Mag the Mighty. He managed to get into the tunnel system under the Wall during the Battle of Castle Black.

Who do you reckon is the champion facing off against the Mereenese fella?

Looking good but there looks like there are more changes! Just hoping it doesn't stray away from the book too much!

Looks like Daario is the one doing the duel for Dany as he's the only one not there before you see the horse charge and we know Strong Belwas isn't in it

Yes but we knew that would be a change. Im more upset over actors changing tbh. The third change for the Mountain and a change for Daario, I dont know how well thats going to pan out.

To be fair to the mountain, his only scene of note was killing off his horse at the hands tournament. I think he appeared for about 20 seconds at Harrenhall in season 2 or 3, all his other mentions have been when he's offscreen. The change from one giant bearded bloke to another isn't going to be that much of an upheaval!

Yeah. I thought that too but then there looks like scenes

of Dany's problems with the Harpies (Was that what they were called?) Looked like someone was being attacked. Could be episode 10 I suppose. (I'm assuming episode 9 will involve a certain person and a crossbow). But I'm just wondering are they going to truncate Dany's timeline. Would make sense TV-wise as otherwise people would get pretty bored with her for a full two seasons

Lovely Bloke · 13-01-2014 8:37pm

Was the actor playing Daario changed because of fan pressure or what the hell?

Non-book readers will struggle matching up the characters imo.

I don't know why. I'm wondering how it will be handled, will we just see the new character and no reference to his change of appearance? It worries me particularly in light of how they showed us Jaqen H'ghar physically change into a different person, so will people somehow associate Daario with that kind of magic?

But I don't see how they can reference the change. Not good to replace characters like this though IMO.

I think it was down to a scheduling conflict.

it may be a tricky flashback/interstisial, where one of the characters discusses the old targaryans, maybe someone describing the queens castle and grant to the nights watch.

It's not but it seems a bit of a trek to take if you're not going to use it to the fullest. Why not stay put?

Perhaps for logistical reasons? I think I recall seeing a fan photo of the Hound at a village set in Iceland. Clegane and Arya stayed at a village in the North prior to their stand off in the inn. Filming could have wrapped in Northen Ireland and the final scenes including these characters moved on to Iceland. It would also be possible to film outdoor scenes in a North where winter is finally coming.

That just made me think;

'There's important stuff going on here so could ya fcuk off Dany..thanks'.

At least there was some Stannis this time.

I liked the bit of misdirection with Jon saying 'he was betrayed by his own men' and cutting to 'all we can give him now is justice'..I imagine the non readers will take that to mean Robb.
