That is the last straw HBO. I am never watching GoT again. I'll be cancelling my subscription and urging my friends and co-workers to do the same.
She could still have black hair. She's only a kid. It's not unheard of that a kid's hair will change colors when they get older. In fact it happens quite often.
Just because the trait is dominant doesn't necessarily mean that the kid will be born with a full head of black hair. It just means that there's a very high chance the hair will be black.
Hell, it could still be a possibility that Robert/Stannis could have carried a recessive blond hair gene and passed it on to one of their kids. There might be a blonde haired bastard running around for all we know.

Honestly can't wait for the RW to air, it's like the biggest shit in the show for a while and I can't imagine how many people are having it accidentally spoiled lately from random posts and news.
Good point, heh. We can do some mental gymnastics to circumvent it but yeah, the thing is that they didn't think about it while coming up with the show's portrayal of Shireen. Thankfully she's a minor character but it's still an oversight that have been easily avoided and has to do with a plot point the show used.Did the writers of this show even pay attention when they made season one? The crux of the season one mystery, what gets Ned killed, is realizing that Cersei's blond children weren't Baratheon, because ALL Baratheons have black hair.
I give you Shireen Baratheon:

lol I was explaining to a show watcher at work yesterday how the greyscale in the books is only on half of her cheek and a little bit of the neck.
She's cuter than she is described in the books definitely lol
"Shireen is regarded as a sweet child. She is not very pretty; she has blue eyes but inherited both her father's square, jutting jaw and her mother's large ears.The greyscale caused half of her left cheek and most of her neck to be covered in gray and black dead skin. She is nine years old."
Trashers point is good enough for us to dismiss the goof in the show. My cousin had hair like this
when he was younger, but as he's in his teens, it's more dirty brown. Same with my brother.
That's how my hair looked when I was a kid too. Starting around 7 or 8 it started getting darker. Now it's a very dark brown.

I think anyone watching ep 9 with friends who haven't read the books owes it to themselves to record their reactions for Youtube to see.

Robert sperm > Stannis sperm, confirmed.
(PS: This is why Hollywood doesn't given us more sci-fi/fantasy...the fans are such nerds.)

Lol Disney totally trolling HBO with this. They couldn't wait three weeks??

It is really shitty lol. Like they couldn't wait a couple more weeks to make it obvious that this actor won't be working his main role much longer.
I assume Stannis will free Davos soon, name him hand and Davos will join in on Shireen's lesson with Maester Pylos. By next season, Davos will be as good a reader as any lord.

Spoiler that shit.

It must frustrate you that the show is ran by such rank amateurs.
Can't wait, especially after reading a lot of speculation in other threads/places :lol:
But I already wanna punch some people (and probably get life without parole) for constantly trying to bring it up without saying anything, while actually spoiling it for anyone with half of a brain.
I think I'll reactivate my facebook account just to see the poor souls cutting themselves.
Thought Gendry was brown?
In ASOIAF maybe, not in GoT.

Maybe spoilers for affc and adwd are important to keep hidden, but anyone who reads this thread and hasnt read asos cant blame anyone if they get spoiled on this season.

I think the idea is that non-readers who come into this page by mistake will see a wall of hidden text and run for the hills instead of seeing something by accident before realizing they're in the wrong thread.
Yes they can. For instance, they can blame you if you leave a spoiler unmarked.

I kind of agree there really isn't a good thread (that's being used) for folks who have read through most off the books but not all and watch the show. Before I finished AFFC and ADWD I stayed away from ALL GoT threads for fear of being spoiled. I was already spoiled with Ned by CNN oh so long ago (I will never forgive CNN for this) so I wouldn't let it happen again. If I saw any mention of the show or books anywhere I just stayed away.

Not really, because of how many characters there are, each actor doesn't have that crazy of a time commitment for shooting the show. They have time to do other things, and some of the cast has been.
That's awesome

I give the mods credit for trying, but its got to be difficult to police the forum when there's just so many members who are happy to constantly drop stupid little fucking vague references to future events as though the presence of spoiler tags or saying "spoiler" isn't a spoiler. Having a GOT spoiler tag in a casting decision thread about another work is going to lead any rational person to believe the person in question is dead. It's not rocket surgery.
Yeah if I was a non book reader and I've been following this thread, I would suggest you stop doing so soon. I just don't want you to be spoiled! It's for your own good, friends!

Yes! The minefield! It is meant to be scary and intimidating.

that scene will be destroyed if they keep the current guy. Hopefully they get Conan back or someone similarly built.

Maybe he'd look fine with the Black Knight armor from S1. He just looked skinny with the Lannister armor.

Whyte just didn't look as threatening. But to be fair the original actor got to rage the fuck out in his big scene. The Mountain was barely in Season 2 and when he was, he pretty much just fuckin' stared and pointed.

With the material he will be getting in Season 4, he will have his chance to shine. I really liked the original casting choice but I will reserve judgment for The Mountain's pivotal scene.
Yeah the armor was just misplaced on him. I really wish they had used Clegane specific house armor for the brothers in the tv series.
Also RE: Stevens - that's interesting that he says in that blog post that HBO wanted to go in a different direction. Up until now, I had read that it was always "scheduling conflicts" due to him playing a role in the Hobbit.

it was posted here before that Stevens was difficult to work with so that along with the Hobbit probably put the nail in the coffin regarding him continuing the role of Gregor.
Most of his posts on his blog have been pretty good/funny so it's surprising to hear that he was difficult to work with (no idea where people read that to be honest).
I suspect they'll give Whyte more appropriate costume treatment if they ask him back to reprise the role.

I finally started reading the books last week, I'm on Storm of Swords a little ahead of the show.
I can finally chip in on the spoilers on the weigh in fully on my opinion of how this compares to the show!
Just wanted to say that.

I dunno. I wonder if it was just the poor angles we had in season two of him. Maybe if we actually saw him in a scene like the jousting one from season one it would look better. Regardless, something was definitely off about him in season two.
(Sorry the image apparently doesn't work anymore. But there's one picture where he looks pretty ripped/big)
I also just found out that he played the engineer in Prometheus haha. I think that makes like four GoT actors that appear in that movie.
