She's not even close to being sultry enough to be the Cersei from the books. Book Cersei is winning people to her cause by promising they will get to bang her. Headey has hit the bitch queen part just fine, but she lacks the other side of Cersei completely. She was also fairly terrible as Cersei during the first season IMO, nothing but bitchface whether it was needed or not. But she hit her stride in season 2 and has been very solid ever since. at least in the acting department. She still doesn't look the role.

I'd agree on Pitt for making a good book Ramsay.

As for Iwan and Jon Snow, most of my thinking on that comes from watching the series Misfits, where Iwan played a sullen, isolated character who transforms into a total badass leader and knocks it out of the park in the role. He might be a little short for the role, but not like that hasn't been overcome before.

The GNC and the thought that Dawn is the original Lightbringer just brings back the question of 'where is Arthur Dayne'. We know he likely isn't dead.

Jamie says that he "could kill all of us with his left hand while taking a piss with his right", so we know it is highly unlikely Ned killed him. Ned gets really sad when telling Bran that Dayne would have killed him if not for Howland, who stepped in the way. Writing on the wall, IMO, that Howland died here. I just don't see there being a reason for Ned's extreme sadness unless Howland took the blow for him.

This is my favorite loose end. I'm going with the obvious and saying that Dawn is buried in the crypts, along with something else. It definitely doesn't make sense that Lyanna is the only female, let alone king, buried there. Even if she was the Queen of Westeros, I still don't think it would warrant her being buried there.
