Yoren was a badass and went out like a real boss. I loved how he managed to scream crazy things such as "There's men out there want to fuck your corpses!" without hamming it out.

RIP, you magnificent bastard.

 

[Chuck Norris]

Yoren was 10 times better in the show

 

[-Plasma Reus-]

The last of the great men of westeros. And one of the best things to come from this show.

Mance Rayder

fuck

thats too boss for this world

 

[Funky Papa]

“I always hated crossbows, take too long to load!”

By that part I was cheering like a real fangirl. It broke my heart seeing him go, but I'll be damned if he didn't sell his life at a high price.

Edit:

fuck

What I am missing here?

Yet another edit: o.m.g.

 

[JGS]

I just realized they killed kids in every episode.

I guess they killed their share last season too, but this has got to be a new record for a TV show.

What I am missing here?

I don't know what exactly he meant, but that was my first thought when I saw this photo. I don't remember how he was described in the books and is quite different from how I've imagined him, but damn, now that I see it he looks perfect.

Mance Rayder

Who is the actor?

 

[Cornballer]

Who is the actor?

Looks like Mads Mikkelsen.

 

[pr0cs]

Who is the actor?

Mads Mikkelsen, same bad guy in Casino Royale.

Is it confirmed that he's playing Mance? I know there was talk of him being one of the front-runners.

 

[Cornballer]

Is it confirmed that he's playing Mance?

Nope. The role hasn't been cast yet.

He came up in the WiC.net "casting Mance Rayder" article along with a few others.

 

[gutshot]

Who is the actor?

"Hi, I'm Mads Mikkelsen. You may remember me from such films as King Arthur or Casino Royale or Clash of the Titans." /troymcclurevoice

I agree he would make a great Mance, but he might make an even better Euron.

 

[bengraven]

Yoren was 10 times better in the show

This is very much true.

The one in the book is grim and brooding. They gave him a personality, humor and a heart while still retaining his grimness at times.

 

[Enordash]

Looks like Mads Mikkelsen.

I thought it looked strikingly like him. I was hoping that it was confirmed. I'm a fan.

augh what a boring film that was. (Valhalla Rising)

 

[idwl]

Mance Rayder

oh yum , they should definitely cast him. We need more eyecandy

 

[fallengorn]

I've always pictured Mance as an Errol Flynn Robin Hood-type.

I agree he would make a great Mance, but he might make an even better Euron.

I can definitely get behind that.

Good lord Sansa is tall now. I thought she was tall in the dinner scene from last episode.

[noah111]

Caught up and watched the past three episodes of season 2... damn. Lots of sex and child murdering this time around, eh?

 

[Supermanisdead]

Wow, Sansa is really tall :s. It's going to be [series spoiler]

Spoiler

even more awkward when she has to marry Tyrion

 

[Cpt.Underpants]

Wow, Sansa is really tall :s. It's going to be [SOS]

Spoiler

Oh man, im dying to see that one

Spoiler

Looking forward to the height comparisson between the two while holding hands

 

[Cornballer]

Wow, Sansa is really tall...

That should be labeled as [series spoiler]. Thanks.

 

[Guerrillas in the Mist]

Thx!

Jeyne!

And, Oona said in the interview she finished the third book XD

Yay!

Still can't get my head around the fact that she's Charlie Chaplin's granddaughter, not great-granddaughter.

 

[bengraven]

Spoiler

You know, three years ago when I read the books the first time, that was the only thing that wasn't spoiled for me and because of that was the only thing that made me drop my jaw. ha

 

[bengraven]

Yep, her mom was born in 1944 and had Oona in 1986 @ 42 years old. So insane.

Also, my mind was blown when I realized Oona's mom is the dancing instructor in Talk To Her:

Just [series spoiler], not the other part.

Spoiler

The rationale here being that you shouldn't confirm that any characters are alive at any point in the series, which you're doing by including the [SoS] label. Not a huge deal, but I did want to clarify my intent. There's more discussion of this in the OP spoiler rule section.

 

[rififi]

I should really stop coming into this thread, I don't know why, but all those black bars are so tempting to highlight.

I'm 10% through Dance of Dragons and while I'm excited to read it all, I'm more excited to be able to read GAF threads with impunity.

Mance Rayder

Holy crap looks bad ass

Always pictured Mance as an older bald dude with a long ass mullet (like Balon), big beard, and just thick throughout.

 

[Frost_Ace]

This is amazing:

playmobil game of thrones

 

[CassSept]

Still can't get my head around the fact that she's Charlie Chaplin's granddaughter, not great-granddaughter.

My bigger problem with her is that I didn't think she was related to the Chaplin, but once I've learned of it I can't unsee the resemblance. Especially when it comes to eyes. I'm gonna feel weird now when she appears for the first time.

Yeah, it was similar for me, but now that I see him he fits the character perfectly.

really?
considering his wife and the charisma required to lead all the wildings, I pictured something almost identical to the photo of Mads

That was a really great read. Loved hearing about the adaptation strategy of Margery and Theon straight from the horse's mouth. Thanks for the link!

 

[cuevas. PhD.]

I just got that, Ned says those who pass the sentence should swing the sword. Pussy joffery

Yep. That's partly why Joffery has no remorse ordering people to death like he's ordering lunch.

I always pictured him Stockier, but I guess he was described more slender so I could kind of see it work with Mads.

It's almost just as I pictured him as well. Although after seeing this pic all I can think of is Belmont from Castlevania: Lord of Shadows.

Whiskey and wine? Lannisters have no taste.

 

[Discotheque]

Mads Mikkelsen as Euron Greyjoy would be too badass.

 

[Randdalf]

I thought one of the characteristics of Mance Rayder (Series spoiler, I guess)

Spoiler

is that he's not kingly in any way, in fact when Jon Snow first walks into his tent he mistakes another wildling for King-beyond-the-wall

 

[Wray]

Watched the episode last night. What a fantastic episode.

- Yoren = Badass confirmed. What a great way to go out.

- Poor Lommy

- Loved the scene between Tyrion and Cersei. Loved how they started setting up Dorne and the Martells.

- That editing in that scene between Littlefinger, Tyrion, Pycelle, and Varys was awesome. Dinklage is going to win another Emmy. At this point, even Aaron Paul isnt gonna stop him.

- The Greyjoys continue to be completely knocked out of the park. They're my favorite House and HBO is just absolutely nailing them.

- Brienne was totally perfect. Even her grunts were perfect.


Lastly, we got the best line of the entire series so far.

Tyrion "Cut off his manhood and feed it to the goats!"

Clansman "There are no goats Halfman???"

Tyrion "Well make do!"

I was celebrating 420 early last night while watching and completely lost my shit during that part. Has somebody made a gif of that yet? If not, somebody please do.

I'd wear the green Baratheon shirt if they'd make the image smaller and take the Game of Thrones logo off it.

Anyone with the Blu Ray:

is the extra content worth it? As a reader of the books? Is there a lot of it?

I can already watch it any time on HBOGo but I also just got my first BR player and a $50 gift card to Amazon that's burning a hole in my wallet. Just want to know if it's worth it.

 

[gutshot]

It's a deleted scene from last night's ep.

Yes, it is totally worth it. Trust me, you will love it.
