It is probably a better title for the series - especially because having a different title for the books and the show is actually not a bad idea. | ||

Wow, she is really a bigger name than i expected for this part, and she is a bit on the old side but i am confident she can pull it off. The girl is gorgeous and im really excited for the rest of the casting news now. Stannis, Melisandre and Brienne should be really really good. | ||

I don't want to talk about it with other fans because the fanboys are insane, they aren't subjective at all and defend everything to the death! But some things in this show are... off... to say the least. Why they didn't reshoot that scene blows my mind, the guy is front and to the right, he tries not to move when he can't sheath it but its too obvious. This is probably a reason why they stay out of battle scenes, the extras in big battle scenes are often terrible. It never looks good, NEVER. The only movie I approve of was LOTR and they CGI'd shit, so its hard to do and expect so I just go with it. Last Samurai also had excellent battle scenes. | ||

So until some op says casting news are not allowed anymore i will asume they are ok. The rules for this thread today are not the same as those 1 year ago. But what is the point of bringing up the casting of new characters in season 2 when we can't even discuss book 2 characters in this thread? | ||

The point of bringing up casting news is that they relate to the tv show. X actor has been casted as Y character. Discussing book 2 characters on this thread would mean automatic book 2 spoilers. It's pretty logical to me, but i guess you need an explanation laid out so i'm happy to oblige. Again if i broke some unwritten rules and casting news are no longer allowed here a mod can move the post to the right topic. | ||

This is about the show, how is it a spoiler to mention that an actress was picked to portray a character in the show?!?! He didn't mention anything about her storyline, just her name and her relationship to an established character, good god people calm down. Sure it's appropriate for the spoilered discussion, but there's a TON of shit that is in that thread that someone who wants to discuss the casting of next season would NOT want to see | ||

They could just have Joffery chillin on the throne under Clash of Kings so it is easy to see the parallel. | ||

It isn't that big of a deal, you will just say "Game of Thrones Season 2" and book readers will know that correlates to A Clash of Kings. | ||

All of the book titles are preceded by the indefinite article. A Clash of Kings A Storm of Swords A Feast for Crows etc Whenever I hear 'Game of Thrones', I assume the subject is the TV series cuz I'm all nitpicky n that. I'm fine with keeping that title for the second season for simplicities sake; A Clash of Kings as a title isn't going to be erased from existance, it just serves the book over the TV show. | ||
