I read the books after watching the first two seasons. I wonder how my feelings on casting would be had I read the books before seeing any of the show. I definitely pictured the actors as their characters while reading the books (though Dinklage is much too attractive to truly be Tyrion. He's supposed to be one ugly mofo, and not just a damn dwarf!)

I should probably read the books before I watch the show anyway >.< Thought about that after I posted lol... You can't watch a show/movie without reading the books first! Thanks for not telling me to just download it =P
you should be dreadfully careful about coming to this thread if u havent read the books [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

dont forget Tywin Lannister and Syrio Forrell should be bald. and i HATE that they have Julius Caesar playing Mance. HATED last season Daario, glad he got swapped. and really can't stand the kids playing Mira and Jojen. but for the rest of them, A fucking + imo

I don't mind Tywin not being bald at all given how hard Charles Dance has absolutely crushed the role. His interactions with Arya in S2 were an absolute delight and will make me miss him when he's gone (though he absolutely deserves what he gets and I'm so damn excited to see it!)

Same with Syrio. His scenes with Arya were fantastic.

Apparently you just need to be in a scene with Masie Williams to be on the positive side of the ledger for me.

whoa don't get me wrong, i think Charles Dance's portrayal of Tywin is utterly amazing, and one of (if not) the best on the show. i was simply referring to the appearances [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

So I've been pondering lately, and I've decided to make the official switch. I now support Jon Snow for the Iron Throne. While my loyalty to the Mannis has been steady as steel since the first time he appears, I must support Lord Snow. I don't believe Mannis is personable enough to keep the lord paramounts tractable. He is too harsh and unforgiving to ever truly rule. That plus how it looks the story will pan out...(I support winners)

honestly, i think ive recently switched to that as well. but only because im convinced Dany will die saving everyone from the white walkers.

but speaking of Stannis then, i personally see him going to become the 1000th lord commander of the nights watch? do u agree with that? or u got other end game theories for stannis?

Well, I've skipped over the new comments and am making sure not to read anything while I'm typing this. I started reading the first book last night before bed and that was a stupid mistake. Stayed up way too late when I had to be up at 5:30 this morning! It's been a long time since I've read any books that keep me up at night. The brother/sister thing right in the beginning is kind of creeping me out but I have heard this is a pretty twisted series!

Just wait till you get to the last 400orso pages of A Storm of Swords. If you're able to stop reading it at any point, I just won't be able to understand how.

Don't read a single sentence of this thread.

Also, have fun when you finish A Dance With Dragons and start to realize that G.R.R.M. might actually finish the TV series before the book series [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Lastly,
I'm posting in Sirken's ASOIAF thread because it makes him happy.
