OT - Game of Thrones
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.
Melisandre, is not even top 5 hottest on the series but I would certainly hit it!
Joffrey is essentially the Craig James of Westeros. That kid loves to kill hookers.
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.
I agree with you that she is hot. I don't think that she is the hottest on TV, but I'd say she's at least up there in the show.
Why the hell hasn't Kate Upton been signed up?
I know your question was largely rhetorical, but I'll answer anyway:
She's American
Who else is American besides Peter Dinklage? Khal Drogo?
Put her in a non-speaking role. Problem solved.
The hound.
Are you just guessing? He is Scottish.
feckin weird
Did you mean awesome?
I'm sure we're getting to the end of the discussion on this episode, but I thought this review put my issues with the episode (and the direction the show is going) a lot more eloquently than I could (some book spoilers, but I don't think anything major, just discussing some of the differences to this point):
