I understand the original actor playing Ser Gregor is busy with the Hobbit movie, but aren't there other actors out there that look as vicious instead of who they went with?

1st season:


2nd season:


Or am I just nitpicking too much?

They can do wonders with camera angles and such. Go back and check out The Green Mile sometimes. Michael Clarke Duncan isn't even close to being as big as they were able to portray him.

The original mountain was awesome and was perfect. He had the batshit crazy badass thing going. The new one just looks like a taller Christopher Lee. Not intimidating at all.

I refuse to accept the new Mountain. As I read all the books, I always pictured him to be just like the one from Season 1. This new one isn't crazy looking enough and weighs like 200 lbs. Horrible casting job.

And not only that, I don't think he has the acting chops to fill the role. I expect a much more limited Mountain in seasons 3 and 4.

Nothing really against the new guy but the first guy was perfect.

Totally agree with this. I hate casting choice, it's bothered me all season.

Whats up with the guy from the beginning of Troy? Should have given him a call.

Did they recast Loras Tyrell too? He doesn't look the same this season, but I couldn't tell if it was just because his hair was curly or not...

He looks about the same to me. I happened to catch the Season 1 episode with the joust over the weekend (that's what made me think about Sandor).

Checked with the interwebz, they say Finn Jones is the same person playing Loras in Seasons 1 & 2 and we all know the interwebz do not lie.
