There isn't a official Tywin poster. The season 2 character posters were Jon, Dany, Tyrion, Cersei, Jaime, and Robb I believe.
This is the one I was talking about:
Also, this poster is awesome:

Yeah, I was pleased to see that they signed her up. She's done a great job on BB. (Fly was Rian Johnson, btw.)

Very minor DwD
The lions are confirmed extinct in Westeros in DwD. The one Tywin's father hunted was most likely one of the last. They're still common across the Narrow Sea though.
I just read the first part of that roundtable and there was one thing about the Jon story that I didn't piece together until now.
Episode 6
Halfhand: "Tell me true, if your people captured me would they take me prisoner?"
Ygritte: "They'd take your head off your shoulders if they were feeling kind. If not they'd kill you slow."
Episode 8 they have Halfhand as a prisoner and Rattleshirt would rather kill Jon and try to get information out of Halfhand. Great writing there.

Looks like the general consensus is that she's going to be playing Stannis' wife. But that's just a guess right now.
It's just the frustration I have with that whole story. This is how it should've happened.
Qhorin leaves Jon to to kill Ygritte then Jon misses on purpose (like in the show) and when Ygritte looks up in shock that she's still alive Jon just says "go". Jon joins up with the rest of his group and they continue and later know the wildlings are after them (hawk flying in the sky). During this time Qhorin starts to lay out a plan to Jon in a worst case scenario if they're captured. When they're attacked by the wildlings the rest of the group is killed which leaves Qhorin and Jon alive and that's when Qhorin tells Jon they must follow that plan. Qhorin makes a statement that Ygritte is still alive and that Jon has betrayed the Watch. They fight to the death. Rattleshirt still wants to kill Jon after the fight and Ygritte stops him saying he spared her life (along with the stuff about Mance) and that led to them finding him and finally the death of the hated Halfhand. Ygritte tells Jon "we're even" and it actually means something.
Not only would that have made book fans happier than how it happened in the show but it would have also been more exciting.
All of which happens in the third book.

They should have just followed the books as best they could. The writing this season sucked plain and simple.

Sansa being upset about being married to Tyrion. The fact that Dinklage is handsome and nothing like Tyrion's actual description and that he isn't missing a nose will probably make this harder to swallow for TV viewers.
Yeah so what's the problem? Pushing it ahead of her decision to stand up for him worked better for the TV show.
Tara Fitzgerald not doing it for you? Sounds like Nathalie Emmanuel and Charlotte Hope have also been cast. Emmanuel in an unknown role and Hope as a character named Myranda.

Because we'll probably get half a season of the same shit next year.

I say we just petition the show to be ended and forget the 3rd season. It's just going to be shit anyways. Maybe send HBO "W" heads on spikes as a show of solidarity
Charlotte Hope joins the cast. I wonder why this wasn't posted on WiC.net itself?
Also,
Excite! :lol

Why is it going to be shit exactly? If it's anything like the last two seasons, it should be great TV despite its flaws.

I was being sarcastic. The wailing and teeth-gnashing before the 3rd season even begins filming is comically disproportionate to the quality of the show overall.

Someone start speculating.
I'm guessing like another site said, that Hope is going to be a cousin/handmaiden to Marg.
Tara Fitz...maybe Val or Dalla?
Natalie Emmanuel...Taena Merryweather?
Possibly, but she was supposed to be quiet young I thought?

Peter Dinklage is a handsome man, but he's still a little person. For a teenage girl raised on fantasies of brave and tall knights, that still can't be an appealing prospect. Remember how disappointed she was in the prospect of marrying Willard Martell or whatever his name was and he was in a wheelchair.

There was something in the "Wow, it's that guy" thread.
The longer the show goes on the more it will shuffle plot points around. If you think the show is shit now there's no reason to come back for more next year.

correct about everything
I think it has been established that the age of the characters in the novels has very little to do with who gets cast.

Youre post makes no sense. Next season maybe it will still have problems, maybe it won't. Boardwalk Empire went from a somewhat decent first season to an amazing second season. Game of Thrones went the other way. There's always hope that things will get better, but faith can be shaken.
The problem isnt the, shifting around plot points, thats fine. Its the poor way they handle some of them. As it is now the show is a third tier HBO show, but it coudbe so much more. I have HBO and will continue to have it so there is no reason for me to stop watching it. So you're going to have to deal with my, and other peoples, somewhat negative views on here or go somewhere else. Or put us on your ignore list.
The problem is that they couldn't even capture many of ACoK's greatest moments properly: Arya's journey/Harrenhal, Blackwater, and Winterfell.
Blackwater episode was pretty good but very underwhelming compared to what was in the book. The fucking chain. The bridge of boats. There was an entire build up to that. It was most of the book with Tyrion scheming and it was practically gone from the show.
How good season 3 will be will depend on how good they can adapt those things. I feel like they'll screw up most of it. I have a feeling they're going to ruin Jaimie and Brienne's storyline and a bunch of other stuff.

There's reasonable criticisms and then there's unreasonable expectations. Blackwater is a case of the latter.

Spring 2013.
I've toyed with the idea of an offseason thread for casting and whatnot. We'll probably hit 20k posts sooner or later anyway.

yeah, it seems like this one is a wasteland and it might be better to start talking up season 3, especially as that is where the news is heading. I definitely like the idea of an offseason one though.

Blackwater was amazing and definitely the highlight of season 2. After all of the boring Jon Snow scenes viewers had to endure, an episode like that was paradise.

Seriously, complaining about Blackwater is ridiculous. That far surpassed any reasonable expectations of what we would see on-screen.
I think that would be a good idea.
Looking forward to it, very interesting last year.
Complaining about Blackwater is fine. I mentioned the chain and interlocking ships for the sake of discussing particular differences between the show and book. I was not expecting the chain and everything else. I'm not delusional. What I was expecting from Blackwater and what is my major gripe with how they handled it is the reduced impact of Tyrion on that event. Tyrion met the pyromancer and then spent the rest of the season chasing Shae around instead of planning how to win that battle. It diminished his story.

I did expect them to do a lot more with Tyrion than they did, but I felt their effort with him was at least passable.

That's all fine, I don't necessarily disagree. But I think you could understand why I thought you meant the episode "Blackwater" which was by pretty much all accounts amazing.
