They've already said they are going to focus more heavily on Robb and actually show his relationship. So one would imagine Westerling.

The Robb thing happened off screen during Clash of Kings ( On the reread, Arya was talking to one of the Freys and he was upset that his family had been dishonored and now he could not marry a princess), so they could still add it to the show.

He looks perfect for Pod. Melisandre and Margery are doing it for my btw.

Whats the deal with the dragons at the end of the first season? I haven't read the books just watched the series.

I feel like if I try to explain the dragons I'll totally miss a lot. Just read the books. At the very least, read the first three. you WILL NOT be disappointed.

They're gonna have to do some work on that chick playing Brienne. She ugly, but not ugly enough.

I'm still disappointed at how normal Tyrion looks. Dude is just a normal dwarf. Tyrion is supposed to look like a pint size Quasimodo.

Did you watch the whole season? She got some dragon eggs as a gift. They were supposed to be petrified. Then they hatched. That's about the best I can do for someone who hasn't read the books.

Andy Beckwith as Rorge:

Gerard Jordan as Biter:

You might remember Beckwith from Snatch and both these guys look really good for the part to me. It will be wild to see the makeup job they do for both

She may not be the ugliest woman out there, but have you seen how tall she is? I think this woman will fit the bill just fine. She's got kind of an odd look anyways.

This is what gets me. I didn't start reading the books until after the first season but Martin makes it a point to constantly say how ugly and deformed Tyrion is. Yet in the show his only real deformity is being a dwarf.

He may not have the looks but the guy can deliver the wit and entertain the hell out of me.

Thanks for the bump. It looks like they nailed it again.

As for the 1st season casting, Tyrion was supposed to be spectacularly ugly, but Dinklage was still the only guy for the part. The only two I thought were miscast were Addy as Robert, (even as a fat drunk he should have been more physically imposing), and the girl who played Sansa, (I saw her as more auburn-haired, rather than a full-fledged ginger).
