Great OP. I love the banner and also the fact that you put all the maps and family trees in the OP. It will be a wonderful resource for those that are new to the series.

You also have
in the title picture but don't explain who he is later on. I don't know how big of a spoiler he is. I guess that's your choice.
Balon Greyjoy

I have to say that Stephen Dillane sold me on Stannis. He gets the character *and* looks like a bitter douche.

Me and my friends had a season 1 marathon. We watched it all straight through.
Everyone enjoyed the hell out of it.

Was that your first exposure to the series?

Hodor. I only used the characters/actors that were listed in the HBO press release. I couldn't figure out another way to cut down the number of cast that I listed.
[ACoK]
It's a subtle nod to book readers. He wasn't included in the cast list because I just went with everyone that HBO listed. Not sure if I should pull that image for the No Book Spoilers thread - I'll give it some thought.

I don't think he's a spoiler at all. He's EDIT
nevermind. I see why it would be a spoiler.
[Don't read if you haven't read at least the second book.]
The War of Five Kings? I know there's Joffrey, Robb, Renly and that other brother dude, Stan or something... who is the fifth king? Balon Greyjoy? Who is that? Is that Theon's father or something? Wait, he's the fifth king? What will Theon do? I hope this doesn't mean he betrays the Starks. OMG, spoiler!!!!

Hodor is gross. I hate him.
Great OP, Cornballer! Glad I could be of assistance, however indirectly. And thanks for all the WiCnet love!
Btw, I have a few updated cast photos now of S1 actors in their S2 costumes on our S2 cast page. Feel free to drop them into the OP whenever you get the chance. Especially helpful for those characters who've undergone changes from S1 and S2 (Arya, Theon, etc.).

He's a big man.

I was wondering if someone would have a fit about this.
Honestly, [COK spoilers]
after the first or second episode the title will make more sense....maybe just remove it until then. Shame that people would get upset. Or put a big question mark over his face until the second episode.

You just order it and then cxl in 90 days?
That was phenomenal.
I've made a similar argument to friends before.
Every skilled and dangerous sellsword... requires fancy footsteps.
You know, I'm starting to not be so miffed at how fugly Asha is given the looks of the rest of that family.
Wait what happens to Theon in between seasons Gutshot? You mean physically but isn't he just chilling with Robb still at this point after the Whiterun battles or w/e at the end of GoT (the book)?
Also, Hodor practically = the character from Tolstoy's Death of Ivan Ilych who takes care of the main character (Ivan) while he dies. COINCIDENCE? I think not..

Why are you asking gutshot? And you are confusing Skyrim's Whiterun with Game of Thrones
I'll answer your question though - there is no time in between books or seasons. You see Theon pledging to the King of the North in ep10 and nothing happens to him before the next time you'll see him in season 2.

Way offtopic, but:
You know, this reminded me of the 80s weird fascination with the 50s. To this day I have nostalgic feelings about the 50s that would be considered proof of reincarnation in some cultures, but was because of all the 50s inspired music and fashion and films - god there was a shit load of 50s films in the 80s.
Probably similar to how some of today's indie music/culture shares similarities and vibes to the 70s.
Yeah. At least for my cable provider, there's no cancellation fee unless you keep it for less than 60 days.
Nothing in the books/series that would make him look any different, but the actor looks different to me. I think he has lost some weight or something.
Renly is another example. He looks a lot different this season than he did last, even though nothing in the books indicates that he should.

he has better armor this season, makes him look badass.
Though he will still probably get slapped for not paying the iron price.

I will probably have to do this. I can't miss this show, but I have not had HBO in years.

Is there a good guy to root for like Eddard in the second season?
The only other male figure I felt for or really connected to was John Snow.

Robb.

Should be Tyrion.
But I root for Jon and Robb as well. Then there's also a ton of minor badasses in the story, like Ser Barristan, Bronn, Greatjon, Jorah or his dad the Old Bear.

Robb was kinda sucky in Season 1, but in the books he's awesome. I don't know if he'll turn awesome in season 2, but he's definitely someone you want to root for.
And Tyrion, obviously, is the man.

Interesting, I felt the opposite. On the TV show I Madden's Robb jumped off the screen in a way he didn't in the first book, especially in the last three episodes.

I definitely prefer TV Robb to book Robb.
Jon and Robb.
Also, I would kind of say Stannis also, though he comes across as a douche. But he's still basically a good guy.

I'm happy to see that Robb should be getting more actual screen time versus the time you see him in the books (which is via another persons perspective). In this regard the show is really cool for actual book readers. The Robb and Catelyn scene still gets me. Two great actors portraying their characters.
That video was from 1995.
Same, I love Robb. I teared up at the scene with him and Cat in episode 10 last season after Ned's death. And the actress who plays Cat has been absolutely perfect so far.
Also, I noticed in some of the episode summaries that they've made some minor changes. Like in episode five it says
Arya saved Jaqen from the Gold Cloaks, but I'm pretty sure it was Lannister soldiers in the book, yes? Amory Lorch and his men?

Who says it needs to be male? I think Arya will be incredible to watch this season.
You are correct but to be more specific (ACoK spoiler)
from the fire they set. If she didn't free them then they would have burned alive locked up in the back of the cart.
Arya and Tyrion had the best (and the most) chapters in the book, so you'll probably be rooting for them as well as Jon and Robb of course.
Ok, that's what I thought. I wonder what their reason is for a small change like that?

Don't have to hire someone to play the leader, make new armor.
In the show they aged her up to like 11 or 12, I think. I really hope they nail her parts in this season though. Arya became my favorite character in the series after ACoK.
