The first major announcement is that the lovely Natalie Dormer, who played Anne Boleyn in Showtime's The Tudors and who'll appear next in Captain America: The First Avenger, has been added to the regular cast as Margaery Tyrell. For those of you who've not read the books, Margaery's introduced in the second instalment, A Clash Of Kings, and plays a role alongside those struggling to acquire or keep the Iron Throne.

Apparently, in the booksI was out of the country the last week, so did not see the season finale until tonight on DVR.
That was freaking great. I know people have moved on to talk about the books, but I am still savoring how epic that was. Every storyline had me craving more. Jon Snow is (FINALLY) going north of the wall to hunt Whitewalkers? Rob Stark is now King of the North? Tyrion is Hand of the King? And the freaking dragons? I was floored by the final scene. Now that is how you do a season finale (hinthint Borgias, Killing, True Blood and Glee for that matter).
Lastly, could someone kill Joffrey already? Preferably Arya stabbing him with her little sword, her lost dire wolf biting his royal jewels away and then Sansa delivering the final blow with Ice and removing his bratty, sadistic and monstrous little head. Too Hollywood? I don't care, I want to see the Starks, especially the daughters, have their revenge on that little bastard. Strangely, as much as I hate Jaimie Lannister, his blunt honesty with Lady Stark made me not as thirsty to see her bring justice on him. Though I still hope it happens, as only Tyrion is worthy of surviving the Starks's wrath, in my opinion.
Cannot wait for season 2. I also hope winter finally comes after all the hyping these characters have had about it all season. A lot of build up that didn't have anything this year.
I didn't even know he was Scottish. He does a very good Northern English accent in Game Of Thrones.Richard Madden's new show (over here in the UK) had a scene of him tied up, naked. Couldn't quite get my head around seeing Robb Stark like that. haha
In which case how about Vincent Regan from Troy, 300, Clash Of The Titans and Camelot.Stannis isn't that much younger than Robert, I don't think
So is Ser Jorah Mormont. And one of the Clegane's, I think.I didn't even know he was Scottish. He does a very good Northern English accent in Game Of Thrones.
I'm surprised at the pace I'm reading the first book. I'm usually a pretty slow reader and usually can't read for too long (my lousy attention span and the position i read books), but that's not been the case. Seeing the show first makes it more enjoyable, it's easier to picture it in my mind as I read it and the parts left out is almost like seeing a director's cut of the series.
One question I had for those who red, in the show, Cersei comes to see Catelyn in Bran's room and mentions she lost a black-haired boy that looked like Bran. This doesn't happen in the book, but did Cersei lose a child (I assume her first [blackout]and only one[/blackout] with Robert)?
