And I think the actors who play Bronn and Jorah do excellent jobs with portraying their similar but oh so different characters.

And I don't want to be mistaken - the level of acting for the show is very high, overall, with just a few misses and almost none on recurring characters - just the occasional throwaway roles. Lancel and Sansa probably have the weakest actors of folks we see on a regular basis, and neither is terrible. Of course, now Lancel doesn't say much, so that may be "intensity".

I want to give Headey some credit, but the whole role is a softball pitch - she ought to be crushing it and instead, she's hitting doubles and triples.

And the kids have been alright to even better than alright. I also agree Maise has been good - probably the standout "child" actor (she's grown now), but, again, that role completely sets her up and she is fairly well cast (well, when she WAS still a kid she was well cast.)
