As far as pure performance, Charles Dance's Tywin gets my vote. But of course, despicable characters don't often get award nominations. I think it would be a great travesty if they were to cut the Reeds considering: 1. All the Reeds are badasses. 2. Assuming R+L=J is right, Howland is the only person(by extension, his children) left that can possibly know of Jon's secret. The question remains of how will Jon learn his secret? As an aside, in my rereading, Arya is skill-less with bow & arrow. | ||

I agree...although Peter Dinklage does the best job out of the main characters Charles Dance is #1 to me as far as overall performance from book to TV. If you took Tywin right out of the book he plays him EXACTLY how I'd picture him looks and all. I think the kid that plays Joffrey does an excellent job too....he's pretty much exactly how he is in the books and just as hateable | ||

They're doing SUCH A GOOD JOB with casting. I hate how little time they get for everythign. Just as I'm realizing that Yoren is fucking awesome, he goes off and dies. Was anyone else dissapointed in that battle scene? That was one of my favorite parts of the entire series. Lorch attacking the little keep as the black brothers defend, everyone getting plenty of kills. Hot Pie yelling his awesome battle cry. I was so excited for it, hoping against hope that they'd include it somehow... and we just get Yoren go out in a blaze of glory. =[ How did Arya learn her prayer in the books? I don't remember. It seems like they're going to skip right over the whole Tickler et al thing (no torture, etc) and go straight to Harrenhal. As for the Reeds, I think I read somehwere that htey were going to be cast in the third season? You might be able to pull it off without them in book 2, but they're too vital the to story to copmletley cut out. I think. :/ | ||

as to the Reeds - those are going to be two very difficult roles to cast. its possible the producers just couldn't find two young actors they really liked, and held out on them in season two in hopes of finding the right ones. | ||

I also liked Yoren's part, can't wait for the rest of the season. | ||

In ACoK: Amory: "we're looking for Beric" Yoren: "he's not here" Amory: "open up" Yoren: "no" *fight* Tickler: "where's Beric?" "where's Beric?" "where's Beric?"... In the TV show: Amory: "we're looking for Gendry" Yoren: "attack!" *fight* Tickler: "where's Beric?" "where's Beric?" "where's Beric?" ????? wouldn't make as much sense. | ||
