OT - Game of Thrones

Submitted by WestCBlue on
It was a somewhat non-exciting episode last night. But they are changing several items from the books. They had to given that the books are so long and complex. Here's to hoping we see more Melisandra, the hottest woman on TV. Discuss....

I've heard GRRM say that Rickon was only 6 when talking about the show during an interview, as far as I know, in the books, he's 3, Sansa is 13, Rob and Jon 15... so, I guess they decided for the series to move up the age of the characters about 3 years, wich makes sense, with all those beards 15 year olds kids are rocking in the series.

Seems as if basically everyone who started the book series under the age of 15 got moved upwards in age a few years, not just the Stark kids.  It makes sense.  Dany is too young in the books to be depicted on TV as pregnant, for one thing, even on HBO.  Joffrey is much more believable as his TV age than his book age, as are Robb and Jon and come to think of it just about all of them.

Plus, it mostly avoids one of my hugest Hollywood pet peeves: trying to pass off much older actors - especially guys since guys go through more obvious outward physical changes than girls - as a younger character.  20-somethings do not make believable high schoolers.  By just coming out and saying the characters are older, they don't force us to pretend these guys with full beards are in fact 15.  Now the only corner they've backed themselves into in that regard is with Bran.

Those scenes of her nude, where she literally ....smokes!

Check your head dude, she's off the charts hot.

Her face and body combo is better than anyone on the show.
