Ha ha, I was wondering how long it'd take you to say something. Posting that article was the equivalent of lighting up the Funky Papa bat signal.
You've seen the videos that I posted a link to in the interview, I trust? This one especially is just.... gotdamn.

The OP is updated with some longer episode synopses for Ep 2.06-2.09 that WiC posted. Spoilers, obviously. Also, the unconfirmed title for Ep 2.10 was added, as well.

Also makes you realize that a century really isn't that long.

They have the same eyes. It's strange that you can see the same eyes in a silent picture from the 1920s and on a fantasy TV show in the 2010s.

Seriously though.

Finally finished Dance with Dragons last night, so I can finally start watching the TV show! Soooo excited! :3 Hopefully I can be all caught up by next Sunday. Whoooo!
So I finally saw Episode 3 the other day. It was good. Brienne is awesome. Loras looks way different from Season 1.
Glad that the Margaery seduction scene played out almost exactly as I predicted in this thread! It was kind of obvious, so I don't give myself too much credit. Didn't expect them to be so explicit with Margaery knowing about Loras and Renly, but it doesn't surprise me that they went in that direction. They like to take things that are slightly hinted at in the book and flesh them out in the show. Although, I don't think that was even hinted in the book, but Margaery is a very savvy lady, so I'm not surprised their secret bromance would fly under her radar. This gives another dimension to her character.
Oh, and I'm going to do a complete 180 on Margaery. I didn't think her very pretty from looking at pictures before, but she was absolutely gorgeous in this episode.

It's always entertaining to see other actors geeking about about GoT.

Racking my head on who Michael Williams could play as in GoT (not speculating he's being considered just a wish). I'd love for him to come in Season 3 or 4. Maybe when Dorne comes into the picture? Oh man.

the Dance "spoiler" I mentioned is not even about
Theon or the other Greyjoys. It is more about the characters and scenes on the Iron island.

I just had a mental image of the Bunk as Arya. :lol
With regards to the Michael K. Williams discussion, after watching the ep last night, I found it interesting that [minor ep14 spoilers]
Xaro Xhoan Daxos announces himself as a Summer Islander. They never said where Saan is from, but they may change his origin to the Summer Islands as well. Meaning, despite casting some PoC in roles that were non-PoC in the books, the writers have gone out of their way to keep them consistent with GRRM's racial descriptions. Assuming that they continue down this path, and in the unlikely event that Williams would be cast as someone in this show, it would need to be a character that could theoretically originate from the Summer Islands.
Yeah, sorry, probably should have prefaced my remark with the clarification that it is not a spoiler one would know just from watching the previews. And yes, ep14 is pretty insane!
It's okay its not even a spoiler really, just a cool tidbit, but I'll spoiler anyway for consistency.
If I remember correctly from episode 3 though Davos says something like "you'll be the most famous maan in Lys" to Saan, so I think they're keeping him a Lysenni. Seems a little unnecessary to me to have Xaro be a Summer Islander just to explain his ethnicity but I'm sure it will appease some fans. I remember a podcast of ice and fire complaint that they cast a black guy as Xaro because he's the one guy described as extremely pale :lol

Didn't one of the books say that there were (very light series spoilers that aren't even 100% confirmed)
striped horses in the Summer Islands
The Summer Islands are a number of islands in the Summer Sea, to the south of Westeros, that form a single nation. The port of Tall Tree Town serves as its capital. The natives of the islands are a dark-skinned people who speak their own language and often wear capes of brightly colored feathers. Archery is an important cultural skill to the Summer Islanders. Their special bows have a longer range than most others, giving their merchant boats added defense against pirates.
He has said this is a secondary world, similar to Middle-Earth, which is basically an "alternate earth". Kind of gives credence to him basically saying The Summer Isles are Africa.

Can't wait for this scene.
Dondarrion already appeared.

As it should. I don't understand why people thought it wouldn't be there. ACOK
just because it's "trippy" doesn't mean anything for HBO. They had multiple Sopranos dream moments, including a 20 minute sequence in Season 5. Budget-wise, it's easier say then Blackwater.

lol, it was a reference to Omar from The Wire
Right but in the context of figuring out which characters the actor could play on the show.

Doesn't matter if he's white and we've seen him. Thoros turns him black. (Played by Bunk.)

Great curtain call article on Yoren over at Wic.net
He can pretend like he's the same guy but the Lord of Light made him super tan?

They should just have him play
Jalabar Xho
he doesn't even need any dialogue for a while, just have him standing around in the background at King's Landing wearing his cape of colored feathers or whatever

Someone needs to make a video of Yoren saying crazy shit like "There's men out there want to fuck your corpses!" and "This lot, halfa them would turn you over to the king quick as spit for a pardon and the other half would do the same, except they'd rape you first" and "What's the strangest thing you've ever eaten? A bear's balls" and "I buried an axe so deep in Willem's skull they had to bury 'im with it!" but set it to sappy music and then end it with "Yoren 243AL-299AL"
