Mark strong looks like the Stannis I imagined. I would be thrilled to see him in this role. I further think that Viggo Mortensen is not a good fit for Stannis. I think he could pull it off but I just don#t see him there.

Viggo would be decent as Davos, wouldn't he?

I think he would fit that role WAY better then the role of Stannis. But that would be too much lotr for this series I guess XD
but we can still hope for it ^^

She's age-appropriate, and has that powerful look. She'd also be affordable.




Definitely agree, she is excactly how i pictured her!!!!

Saying this guy has never seen a woman's body is a reasonable comment? Hendricks is not remotely fit. She has a body of laziness. I don't believe Martin ever says whether Melisandre is fit or voluptuous but I imagine Stannis would not be partial to a voluptuous woman and I don't view Melisandre's personality as compatible with a soft and weak body.


Yeah, it's pretty reasonable. Real people don't look like photoshopped magazine covers.

And calling someone lazy and weak because they don't starve themselves, how is that reasonable ?

What are you talking about photoshopped magazine covers for? I talk about fit women, like athletes, who actually eat more food than someone like Hendricks, but have lower body fat percentage and toned muscles from exercise. If Hendricks has some disciplined exercise routine, I certainly can't tell by her body. Being weak and lazy is about how much exercise a person does, not the amount of food a person eats. You have some really bizarre notions. Anyway, like I said, I don't think Stannis could respect a voluptuous woman like Hendricks the way he respects Melisandre.

Melisandre has been described as being fit and attractive, except for that one scene where she is pregnant with the shadow. I think its pretty obvious shes fit to a certain extent, and any actress that has a decent body would be fine. Besides, lore wise there are a lot more important things about melisandre than her abs and legs.

As we saw from Brienne, being strong or fit doesn't get you respect. Melisandre isn't exactly charging into battles either, she's basically a mage and an advisor. I honestly don't think she really needs to be strong physically.

Man, this conversation is really starting to feel like the dragon vs. wyvern one.

Though, I must admit, I get the general impression that Melisandre is slender from the books.

I read the books late, but I pictured Melisandre like Jean Gray a bit in my head.

strange, i ve never pictured Melissandre as hot. Im a 100% sure that she ll be smoking hot in the series but the descriptions gave me the feeling she's tall and has oversized breasts, and big overall.

The books do describe her as "full" and other words for "fat, but not off-putting fat". Not that there anything like that in the modern world where skinier is always better. The book Melisander however is definitly not skinny or normal, she is fatter then average but not obese.

But if they followed the book description of the characters then every male would either be bald or balding. GRRM must have some bald complex given how many of his characters have no hair or starting to lose their hair.

I pictured Melisandre as a voluptuous powerful woman. None of the actresses mentioned thus far have convinced me except Christina Hendriks. Joan from Mad Men would be an excellent cast for her. Another casting speculation from
http://winter-is-coming.net/2011/02/casting-season-two-melisandre/

is Monica Belucci. I really doubt that GoT's budget can pay her, but it's definitely interesting. I think she'd make a great Melisandre.

I see no point for Spoiler tags. You don't think the waxing might of the church in general and the sparrows in particular is important to the plot?! Nor the creation of a frankenstein-like champion? It also develops Qyburn who seems despicable enough to go on to great evils.

Stannis seems like the obvious choice, Though I wanted to make a list of people who when they die you will have to reread the paragraph/page like 5-6 times thinking how/why WTF Martin!!! I think one of the stark children dying would do that for me. They have had it rough since red wedding.

I personally don't really give a crap what your preferred female body type is. But apparently you are insecure enough in your own that you feel the need to lash out at anyone suggesting that yours isn't 100% the only "real one". I know quite a few all natural girls who can keep up with me on the food eating department, but actually do crap other than sit all day on the couch watching soaps, so they are as skinny/athletic as me. I like those girls. You can have your couch potatoes. I saw a few very recent pictures of Christina Hendricks on the beach, and if that is what floats your boat, then sure, so be it, i don't give a crap. Out of shape ladies need loving too. I'll take the ones that can beat me in a 5k though. Or tennis girls......MMmmmMmMMmMmMmm.

Edit: BUT BACK TO GoT..................
And by "back" I mean..."and now we wait for a year". :-(
