They need to be given the screen time to fill that role though, which may be a problem. Especially with Robb who wasnt a pov character

Cannot wait! DUNDUN DUN NA DUNDUN DUN NA
Except the focus is gonna be on Tyrion this season (sort of). =P
They tend to have the episode up minutes after the episode finishes.
So with Spartacus finishing up last night I have some thoughts about casting choices for future seasons of Game of Thrones.
Spartacus S2 Finale Spoilers and Future GoT Character Names.
Spartacus S2 Finale Spoilers and Future GoT Character Names.
Peter Mensah (Oenomaus) as Strong Belwas. Make it happen HBO!!! They'd have to expand his character a bit to make it work, but that would be a good thing. He could fit as Areo Hotah also.
Nick Tarabay (Asher) as any number of characters.
- Vargo Hoat
- Darrio Naharis
- Hizdahr zo Loraq
- Euron Greyjoy
Viva Bianca (Ilithyia) as somebody! Just find a way to get her on this show. She could make a good Arianne Martell if they were able to make her appear more Dornish. Although Tyene Sand would be perfect for her. But that character is a bit too much of a background character, at least for now.

I'm worried about Arya
Clash spoilers
I have a feeling her story is going to get the short end of the stick. With all these expanded storylines for Robb, Jaime, and Margeary/Renly Arya's story is going to take the hit. She and Tyrion have the most chapters and they aren't cutting anything from tyrion.
season 2 first episode spoiler based off review
one of the reviews I just came across said she didn't have a single line in episode one. Which is hilarious considering the first chapter after the prologue belongs to her
That would be disappointing, considering Arya's arc in Clash of Kings is one of the best in the series. I really hope they don't end up cutting a lot of her content.
This is HBO so maybe they are thinking politics, drama, and the stories of the adult characters are more interesting than the journey of the children to their audience. Focusing on politics also gives the show a consistent theme and is easier to build a narrative arc out of it. I don't agree but maybe that is what they are thinking. I hope Arya and Bran get good amount of minutes and budget but I wouldn't bet on it.
Her first chapter in CoK was in Ep10 of S1.
Anyway, I'm not worried. Margeary and Renly's stuff will be much diminished this season after episode 4, which should right around the time Arya gets to Harrenhal and her story starts to hit full throttle.

Will we have the scene with [book 2 spoiler]
Yoren, Arya, and the rest of the gang fighting soldiers and I think the soldiers set fire to the place? You know the one where Arya yells "Winterfell" and Hotpie yells "Hotpie"! I really love all the chapters where people are just walking around and noticing the damage and deaths that the war has caused.
yea thats in there for sure I think its in some of the previews and there is no way they don't include that since its where arya saves jaqen's life.
That's not necessarily a bad sign.
They could always feature her heavily in the next nine episodes. I can't imagine how you could adapt A Clash of Kings without giving prominence to the Arya story.
Plus Maisie Williams is a damn good actress. No reason to do that, really.

Arya's a fan favorite character, Arya's storyline is one of the best (if not the best), and Maisie is really really good at the role. They'll do her story justice, or face the wrath of an army of incredibly angry nerds. And brother, no one wants that.
Which reminds me, since Cornballer isn't around this weekend I'll step into his shoes for a moment and say that HBO2 is playing the entire first season today starting at 10:30am eastern and will end 30 minutes before season 2 starts.

And people were worried she was "too good looking" for the role. Great job by the makeup crew.

I just wanted to chime in on the Arya love. Normally child actors ruin most shows so I was pretty surprised that I loved Bran's and Aryas scenes the most. Even though they were already my favourites in the books.
Arya's actress is fantastic. She'll go places.
From the start, seeing either of them made me incredibly sad, knowing what'll happen.

The child actors have been impressive on this show.
Most movies/shows make me quit five minutes into a child actor having an important role. Last season Joffrey/Arya/Bran all were great imo.

He's already, sadly, been spoiled on that, I do believe.

What you guys talking about? That incident early on?
A Storm of Swords
The said he was spoiled about the ending of Storm of Swords, but I'm not 100% what he meant by that. A lot of stuff happens during the second half of that book.

So season 2 will cover the entire second book? I heard something about splitting it in 2 seasons some time ago. I haven't really been following the news closely, though.
Just realized Shae is played by a well known German actress (Sibel Kekilli). I didn't even realize that while watching, even though I know her. That's pretty cool.
So psyched to see some of the new characters that will be appearing this season.

I'm on a field assignment and am only going to have access to HBO on demand once every three weeks until October. This fucking blooooooooooows.
Book 3 will be split in two seasons, supposedly.

They are moving some things around from Book 2 and Book 3, but the season should largely follow the book. Next season on wards is will start getting very tricky.

The audio commentary with Harry Lloyd is a lot of fun in that episode.
