'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.

I presume he's referring to Mormont?

Yeah that seems to be it. Shows Jon going through the wall and doing a bit of fighting in what looks like Craster's keep so I presume they go back to kill Rast etc..

TBH he doesnt fit the bill for me either. I had him pegged as a wild man with long blue hair.

In the books it made more sense to have mad shít like a blue forked beard. It made him (and more importantly, his name) stand out considering the vast amount of names in the books. With the t.v show there's significantly less names so they needn't resort to such trickery. Plus it would've looked fúckin stupid (IMO)..

Mickeroo · 07-04-2014 12:51pm

I want a show about their adventures dammit. :mad:

bnt · 07-04-2014 4:11pm

There's an article in The Guardian today, praise for the show from an unlilkely fan: Julia Gillard, former Prime Minister of Australia:

The staff who worked with me most closely talked in a language I didn't understand, discussing the Wall and the White Walkers, the Iron Throne and dragonglass. During moments of rest, the police on my protection detail would be hunched over iPads watching and talking the same strange lingo.

Drawn in, I binged on series one over three days on brief Christmas leave in 2012. I devoured the second and third as soon as I could. Fiction and reality started to collide. Returning to my office after an aborted coup in March 2013, I was greeted with posters of sword fighting with the slogan: "What do we say to the god of death? Not today." I made it known I was barracking for the Khaleesi. After all, what girl has not yearned for a few dragons when in a tight spot?

NB: there are spoilers later in the piece.

You'd expect a show as big as thrones to have a contract to stop him doing something like that. Same applies to the mountain in the first season, the guy in series two was ****e & you didn't even know who he was.

Get someone who looked somewhat similar, made him look a little similar even?

If they had a character one season played by a white actor, and the next season the same character was then played by a black/asian actor would you not find it a bit odd?

They look nothing alike, its not the shows fault he took another job, but they are in charge of casting.

mayordenis · 15-04-2014 10:17am

I guess they just cast whoever was best for the role instead of whoever was most like the original actor, makes perfect sense to me.

Liam O · 15-04-2014 10:18am

They should have given him a three pronged blue beard, or something equally outrageous.

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar · 15-04-2014 10:18am

the first guy was pretty awful anyway, he spoke like arnold schwarzenegger

I frankly don't care about the circumstances. The biggest TV show in the world shouldn't be making mistakes like that. It doesn't help that I really liked the first guy.

It was completely outside the show's control. It's hardly a mistake, and the new guy looks more like the book Daario than the old guy did anyways.

Recasting happens in lots of series and movies.

Not the best delivery, but a great speech on celebrity culture from Jack Gleeson. Fairly puts into perspective his reasons for leaving acting

This is really cool - its an interactive map of Westeros.

There's a sliding scale on the side, where you can set how far you have seen / read by chapter or episode so you don't inadvertently get any spoilers.

Each town / place has its own 'Westeros wiki' page, and you can track the journey of the main characters

Warning, don't click on the link if you want to do any work in the next couple of days!!!

I saw it, I think the eyes are shopped as opposed to contacts because the entire image has been airbrushed so seems to make sense.

I bet the other actors (esp Bran's little team and Arya) get a bit jealous of missing out on all the craic that must be had with the lively King's Landing cast...

Sleepy · 23-05-2014 9:30am

I certainly would be... Croatia is one of the nicest countries I've ever been: the weather is glorious and the sea is crystal clear. I'd take that over filming in Iceland / Northern Ireland any day of the week!

I doubt it. They're too young to have much in common with a bunch of late 30's +

Sophie and Maisie are really good friends and they hang out whenever they can. Maisie mostly films in Northern Ireland and she was saying it's not very glamorous as it rains most of the time :pac:

Are Lena Headey and Pedro Pascal getting it on?! Any time I see a picture of them they're very close/all over each other.

They'd certainly produce good-looking kids!

Rumour is that Cersei and Bronn have to be kept apart. Not very fond of each other.

So that's why the Kingsguard got in Bronn's way last season:pac:
