THEON AND DAMPHAIR OMG OMG OMG

Is that Damphair? Not what I pictured.

Kickham where it hurts

I'm pretty sure it's not

From what I understand, he hasn’t been cast.

GROUGTHINK ALERT

Yeah, I saw below. I was disappointed when I thought it was Damphair because the casting for this show has been insanely good and the there is damphair…but alas I had nothing to worry about!

Screencaps here.

Set reports are that Aeron Greyjoy hasn’t been cast for season 2, and that was just an unnamed Ironborn priest. But that might’ve changed.

Davos does not look like I expected him to

Quite a bit older, and at least in that picture, sterner. But I continue to have faith in the casting department.

Renly looks seriously badass. Character development, ahoy! That’s not a great shot of Margaery, sadly.

Melisandre’s hair is so fucking red I can’t even, whoah. I just watched Black Death last night, so Carice Van Houten’s slightly unusual looks don’t take me aback as much as they might’ve. I think she looks appropriately striking.

Renly’s fucking CROWN is badass. And check out his tall beardless bodyguard. That has to be Brienne.

definitely Brienne

Odd helmet design. Maybe there’s a visor that she’s wearing up; I figured it was kind of a thing for her face to be covered.

The armorers for this show have a thing for weird helmets. Remember Loras’s princess tower helmet?

Yeah, that antler crown is awesome

And Renly looks exactly how I pictured him from the books, unlike in Season 1.

Ron Washington really Britta'd that Series.

Rereading Storm of Swords reinforced

MASSIVE SPOILERS!!!!!!!!!!

just how far into the books we get before Joffrey bites it. Will a TV audience be able to stand that little creep for so long?

-Adopted Giant: Dan Runzler

by Alex_Lewis on Nov 20, 2011 7:04 PM PST reply actions  

They talked about splitting SOS into 2 seasons. I’d have to suspect Joffrey’s wedding will end the fourth season, then, and the Red Wedding the third? Or make them happen almost simultaneously or one episode after the other, for the full crescendo of WHAT THE FUCK.

I think that you need both of those moments in the same season. Gotta connect the Melisandre leech magic in the same season or it loses potency.

It’d be cool if they play it so that maybe Dany even has the hots for Jorah but has to smother that because of the whole foul betrayal thing. Another angle on the story, and not one I would hate.

Stannis and Margaery look nothing like I expected. Thought Stannis would be tall and lean and Margaery uh….prettier. Did notice too that the actors/actresses who play Brann, Joffrey, and Sansa look a little older and in the case of Sansa and Brann, hitting that point of youth where your face changes all the time. In other words, if they really push this to like S6 or something, the actress who plays Sansa will probably look 30 by then

Stannis looked tall and lean to me. Maybe you were looking at their Davos?

Stannis looked short, but I kind of thought he was.

Margaery is more than pretty...

Natalie Dormer grows on you awfully fast. All eyeballs and smirk, but that’s plenty.

LOL April

Yeah, bring it back when the baseball season starts, not now when I need it!

OMG I'D MISSED THIS POST FUUU

Stannis: I’ve pretty much been imagining him as looking like Stephen Dillane for awhile, so it works for me. I was kind of expecting them to keep the beard, so a little surprised he doesn’t have it. I think he’s going to rock it for sure, but I really want to see a scene of him talking/being Stannis outside of just walking on a beach, looking pensive. But yeah, Stannis has become one of my favorite characters, so high expectations here.

Davos: On the other hand, though I love Liam Cunningham, I have had a hard time thus far making him my mental image of Davos. I do think I didn’t picture Davos as being quite that old (though, if you think about it, he has like 8 kids and the oldest one is, like, 22 so he’s likely at least around 40 years old). This one little shot didn’t quiiiite get there, but Cunningham is a great actor and I have no doubts that he will rock it.

Melisandre: Exactly how I imagined her.

Renly and Loras: not new characters, but the new styling decisions have made them both insanely hot.

Margaery: I think it’s interesting that some people are complaining about her because she doesn’t look innocent enough. Are we thinking of the same character? WTF? I thought the whole point of Margaery is the scheming.

Iain Glen was at once both a great and awful choice for Jorah. Great because he’s such a good actor, but awful because HE’S SO HOT and it makes him seem like less of a creep.

Still really looking forward to seeing other characters, ie Roose, the Qarth gang, Rorge and Biter, more Brienne, etc.

Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.
I call him gerald. he’s a pristine white handkerchief, though? nediB eoJ Joe Biden ‽ Joe Biden.
