He's kinda cute in a sullen way.
Stannis looks exactly as I pictured him from the books.

Liam Cuningham is perfect for Davos as well.
The one big miscasting step they've made so far, which I've been realising more as I've been reading the books, is Jorah Mormont. A fairly important character played by an utter ham.

I actually like the guy playing Jorah, he's dashing and suave. (Definitely beats casting him as a lol bear, imho.)
― omar leeettle (Leee), Friday, 10 February 2012 05:05 (twelve years ago) link
hah, i like iain glen, but he's definitely a weird choice for the character. too aristocratic, too handsome. it's gonna be interesting seeing how he tackles some of the later material...
― RudolfHitlerFtw (Hungry4Ass), Friday, 10 February 2012 05:06 (twelve years ago) link
To me he comes across as a guy trying way to hard to be dashing and suave. Just don't like him.
― Inevitable stupid samba mix (chap), Friday, 10 February 2012 05:19 (twelve years ago) link
ive seen him in some other stuff and i think hes just like that all the time tbh
― RudolfHitlerFtw (Hungry4Ass), Friday, 10 February 2012 05:25 (twelve years ago) link
You know, the one downside of having watched the show and then having read the books is that for Dany's Westerosi companions, I hear TV Jorah's voice for all of them, so for me at least Iain Glen is tapping some archetypal Trusted Advisor mojo.

i think as far as the books v the tv show goes, i've discovered that having to see sansa's face while she goes through all this shit makes me not think she deserves it all quite so much
i don't understand this point of view at all. she's a child, she's a bit silly, she's scared. what the fuck did she do to merit what joffrey does to her? joffrey is a fucking monster. no reasoning needed.she went to court to plead her dad's case. she didn't get stupid ned stark killed, that was all joffrey's impulsiveness.
considering the characters on offer, she is way, way down the list as far as being hateful goes.

The way Sansa treats Arya in the first book borders on horrible, right up to the point when all of the actually horrible people step up and say "no see, this is how it's actually done". It's more a recalibration of scale and expectations than Sansa really "deserving" any of the things that happen to her.
― I spend a lot of time thinking about apricots (DJP), Friday, 10 February 2012 21:07 (twelve years ago) link
Sansa is horrible to Arya the way sisters are horrible to each other. She starts off as less sympathetic than her sister, sure. But Arya turns into kind of a weird psycho and she doesn't (nb, I really like Arya).

Yeah, sorry.
― Inevitable stupid samba mix (chap), Saturday, 11 February 2012 06:28 (twelve years ago) link
I've only seen the first season, and I've never read the books, but my take on Sansa was that she was totally into the 'being a princess' idea and all her shittiness came from there. I felt much more sympathy after Ned died.
But Sansa is really great because it provided one of my favourite moments, which was her saying she didn't want Joffrey to be noble and great and worthy and the subsequent look and smile Ned and Arya gave each other.
― encarta it (Gukbe), Saturday, 11 February 2012 06:38 (twelve years ago) link
i think people find sansa dislikeable because she is written as oblivious and stupid to a remarkable degree
really all the kids are written as already being little adults or have arcs where they mature in completely random, arbitrary ways. actually there's one big exception to that, and he's the one who doesn't get to be pov, which makes an unfortunate kind of sense.
― desperado, rough rider (thomp), Saturday, 11 February 2012 12:34 (twelve years ago) link
she is her father's daughter - naive and way too trusting.
― gyac, Saturday, 11 February 2012 13:04 (twelve years ago) link
i don't think ned is trusting so much as he goes 'ah, x is untrustworthy' and is incapable of the necessary mental work to be able to work out what that means he have to do and how x is going to attempt to stab him in the back down the line -- this makes him one of the more interesting characters i think
― desperado, rough rider (thomp), Saturday, 11 February 2012 13:06 (twelve years ago) link
hmmm maybe; he's not exactly like "oh i will trust this blatantly untrustworthy person" so much that he realises this, has no way of coping with ~intrigues and ~plotting, and has to rely on the only people who have talked to him about his worries/fears ie littlefinger etc.
his conversation with cersei where he reveals he knows her kids are Jaime's is this blinding example of it; not trust, but what did he think was going to happen?!
― gyac, Saturday, 11 February 2012 13:12 (twelve years ago) link
but what did he think was going to happen
That they would leave Westeros!!

was reminded recently that Tom McCarthy directed the original, mostly scrapped pilot for this.
Jennifer Ehle played Catelyn and Tamzin Marchant played Daenarys.

I've read up to the third and I don't recall Ser Pounce. It wouldn't be surprising if he's been in it and I've forgotten, I have trouble keeping track of all the human minor characters.
